For the first time since the year 1885, the glorious democracy of Little Rock have carried the city. c. c. Danley, the opposition candi- date for State Senator, is beaten in the county, and badly beaten in the distrct!!
 We have elected one Representative and a majority of the county officers
 MT. Faulkner one of the democratic nomi- nees, was, unfortunately, compelled to be absent from the county during the whole canvass and unable to make single speech or to mix with the people. As it is, one of his opponents Mir. Pennington, Ca very clever gentleman, if he Is know nothing) is elected
 We have seen some eectioneering in our day; have seen men work at the polls and con trol votes, but never saw or heard of such ex- ertions as the know nothngs made on Monday. Every voter who could be coaxed or intimidat- ed, wheedled or flattered to vote their ticket was taken possession of and marched to the polls. The drill of the opposition was perfect tleir tactics admirable, and they made it count. Where democrat could not be induced to vote their ticket, they would beg him to erase the name of some one of the candidates on his own. Had the democratic party been as well organ lzed and used one half of the amount of exer- ton used by their opponents they would have made " a clean shucking'' of them As it is, we have achieved glorious victory and may well feel exultant

Ste then A. Douglas.

It has always appeared to us that the position of this gentleman, equivocal is it may have ap- peared, was never intended by him to be ill direct opposition to the democratic party or to the administration. That he differed with the President and the cabinet is true, and we hon. estly believe that he was mistaken, but we never did believe that he had any sympathy with the black republicans, or that he intended to Ioin them. Unlike Bell and Crittenden, he refused to receive ovations from the abolition ists and he gave them to understand that he neither looked for or expected their countenance or support. During his temporary defection from the support of the admi nistration, the abo- liton papers began to chuckle over the prospect of division in the north west and consequent triumph of black republicanism. MT. Duglas, since his return to Illinois, has shown that they counted without taking all the items in the ac- count, and that there is no reason why the de- mocratic party should be divided.
 In a recent speech, in his own State, he said:
 "But when the English bill became Jaw, the whole question was remanded to Kansas to be decided at an election which has been fixed for the first Monday in August. Whichever way the people of Kansas may decide the ques- ton at that election will be final and conclusive. If they reject the proposition, submitted by Con- gress, the Lecompton constitution Is dead, and there is an end of the controversy. If on the contrary, they accept the propositon,' Kansas from that moment becomes State of the Union and thus the controversy terminates. Whether they shall accept or reject the proposition is a question for the people of Kansas to decide for themselves, and whith which neither Congress nor the people of the several States, nor any person, official or otherwise outside of the ter rtory. has any right to interfere. Hence the Lecompton controversy is at an end; for all men of all parties must be content with and abide by whatever decision the people of Kan may make. Under these circum- stances, the question naturally arises, what con troverred principle is there left for democrats to differ aud divide about?'

Walkers Nicaraguan Project-Another
 Eillibuster Scheme-The Arrangemenfs

It is notorious that 6llibuster Walker. with scheming brain, and energy that never flags, is emdeavorng to arouse the sympathy of the south for another pratical expedition A cor respondent at Huntsville, Ala, writes of meet ing held at that point, where money was sub scribed, and says the project is thus to be car ried out:
 Bonds will be issued to the amount of S2.- 5OO,OOO, and the planters of the States of Lou isiaua, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas will pur- chase the bonds, to be redeemed in lands in Central America after conquest by General Wal ker. Itis currently reported that S4OO,OOO of bonds have already been disposed ofin Alabama, l have seen several of $500 issue, representing the palm and five burning volcanoes in the dis. tance, and the five poined star peerips in the vaulted blue arch of the heavens It is said that Gen. Heningsen and Col. Mcdonald, of the Nicaraguan army, have made an arrangement with the owners of American vessels in the eastern cities, New York, Philadelphia. and Baltimore to furnish transportation for one year, they having the right of way to transit for 10 years free of cost in Nicaragua. Also. that Colonels Samuel Aston and Henry Crttenden. of San Francisco, have effected similar arrange ments with Morgan Garrison and Fritz, large ocean steamer capitalists. It is also said that George Law and John Minturn, of New York. will furnish three vessels and 35,OOO stand of arms Qbe free use for one year. and Abernathy, Johnson 6 Wheeler, of Baltimore, will advance SIX months supply of bread stuff, etc.

The Ethics of Swiuiiing-

The uniform practice of great rogues is to de- fend their villanies. When a bank breaks the officers and ex-officers publish cards, addresses to the public and all that sort of thing, indig- nantiy denying that they received any share of the plunder or were, in any way to blame.- When the Pacific railroad company threw up we had letters and answers, butters and sur-re- butters, till the bewldered public is at loss to know where the blame should be attached. A very nice way is to get up dispute between two or three of the chief managers and then refer the whole matter to mutual friends, who make report which leaves the matter just where they found it. Meantime the public look on with something akin to respectful awe, at the doings of these "bg bugs" who after making the necessary number of statements and counter-statements, retire to enjoy their plunder, or commence building upGew institu- tions by which to rob the people As in all railroad and steamboat accidents, mot the slight est blame can be attached to the engneerv and "the officers deserve all credit for their gallant
 
 public are robbed, not the slightest suspicion can rest on the president, the cashier did all in his power to avert the blow, and in fact it is always clearly demonstrated that these thieves did their best not to steal.
 Knowing this to be the uniform practice we were unprepared for the confession of Fredrick w. Porter, the deiaulting treasurer of the Sun day School Union. Violatingthe known usage. departing from the we'll established custom of all deialters, he confesses to have been stealing for the last nineteen years, and at one time hid S6O,O0O of the money belonging to the society But he did not stop at confession; he actually gave up all that he possessed and as far as lay in his power, made restitution. Such thing is striking from it's novelty and deserves place in history
 modern banker would have indignantly demanded settlement, taking care to have the accounts so arranged that it would take year to unravel them, would have issued card ask ing the.public to suspend their judgment until the matter could be fully investigated, would have asserted that the society was largely in- debted to him and would have put on the air of a much injured man.
 Porter has shown that he was a rogue, which Is very little in those days of bank morals but he has also shown that he is, what is ten times worse in the eyes of the world fool That man should restore part of his stealngs is something so novel and what the people are SC unaccustomed to, that it will be difficult to make them believe it.

The One Hundred Millions of Dollars a
 Year-Fabrication Exposed.

w hen It Is remembered that the administra- ton of the younger Adams was denounced as extravagant when the exdeunture for FOUR years was only S54 100000, and that of Jack son, whose bill of costs for a similar porisd was SlUO,OOOOCO what will be the conclusion of the American people when they consider SlUO. OOOOOO expended by the Buchanan almus- tration in single year? Iii Senator Ci1Headens speech ia CoUiHgt0n
 W hat are we to think of the honesty al q tarress of U. $ Senator who will indulge i'm assertions such as these, which contain not single gram of truth? So far from the exppu- dlturts of MT. Buchauans administration being SlOOOU0,OUO year. they will not exceed S6S.- OOOOUO. including the extraordinary expense, ot the Mormon war, and all the deiciencies of the last Congress, which of course, are not pro- perly chargeabe to this administration. The appropriation and deficiency bills have all pass ed, and we can ascertain to a dollar what the net result will be, and it Is as we have stated.- Dednctng the deficiency items of former ad ministratons, aud the extraordinary charges of the Mormon war, which Mr. Buchanan could not avoid and the total xpcnse for the coming year will be but little more than S5O,OOO.OOO. The appropriations are some S12OOOOOO less than were voted by the black republican Con- gross of 1856 and '57.
 Now, gentleman of the age and reputation of Mr. Crlttenden, when he states a fact. ought to be pretty certain that 1t is correct. for other wise, there Is likely to be shocking discount made, either on his veracity or his intelligence. Had he taken the trouble to look at the appro- prlatlon bills of the Congress of which he was a member he would have seen that his "SlOO.- OO,OOO' statement was gross error; but then it would have deprived him of the malicious pleasure of assalling democratic admnstra- ton, which was probably the reason that he did not wish to give 1t a careful investigation. By the by, if the expenditures are too great, why did not Mir. Crttenden take some acton in Con- gross, or suggest some way in which they could reduced; he having remained silent and voted Tor all the appropriations, it does not now lie in him to denounce them. The black republicans did their best, by the interpolation of amend ments, Tn Congress, to make the expenditures reach Mr. Crlttenden's figure of S1OOOOOOOO but the democracy struck them out and kept the expenditure to $68 100000 In order that our readers may see what the expenditures ac- lually are, we extract the following official fg- ures from the speech of Hon. John fletcher. of Virginia, at the close of the session. Mir. Let cher Is better acquainted with this subject of national expenditure than any man in Congress- He says:

 The records of the State offices now being made up for presentation to the General Assem- bly,, will exhibit most gratifying summary of our financial affairs In addition to these, the opportunities and advantages presented for pur- chasing farms and plantations; in the south for cotton and the products of slave labor; in the north for grain and stock, have never been fairly presented to the people of other States, and the waves of emigration have rolled over us instead of breaking on our shores.
 We desire to notice these things and our friends throughout the State who can furnish us with any information in relation to the con- dition and resources of their county or section of country will receive our thanks for so doing and enable us to furnish specifce information of character that cannot be disputed.

From the Mamphis Avalanche. EXterminate the Evil.

Every pleasure has its bane, and much of good grows out of evil. The explosion of the CiVlzeus' Bank hts produced misery, wretched- ness anguish and want, aud what is worse it has disgraeed and branded with shame men who have heretofore been regarded as honest citizens. While we mourn these sad resuIts growing out of the explosion, we are reioced to see and feel and known that some good will grow out of the switdle- for it will cause 2 general crushing out of the banking system in Tennessee.
