(prom the state Gazette
On Friday last some six sspicious
looking men made their appearance in
New London, and proceeded TO the
house Of Mr.. Telfar, where thy claim
ed a white girl by the nameof Jane
Smith, who was living in Telfar's
family. whom they asserted to be q
runaway slave. Upon beingresisted,
they sought to take the girl ~ force,
but, thanks to the strong arm I Telfar,
II. c. Dean and other good democrats
who happened to be thee. they
we're prevented from penetrating
their helIish design. In a fw min
utes the citizens Of the place assem-
bled, suspicious Of the chaacter Of
these men we're aroused AMI result
ed in the arrest Of the pretendd claim
ants, on charge of attemptin; to kid
nap the girl.
They we're taken before a magistrate,
and the examination comm0ced on
Saturday, but it was not CONCLUDED un-
til Monday, when they were sent up
for the want of $4,000 bail.
The names of these men and those
connected with them in infmy are
John Beebe, VIM. B. Tull, E. w.
Tull, E. lehman, VIM. Hum, Ten
Hunt, and Jim Miller.
Henry Clay Dean, N. Cook ard
McMannus prosecuted.
r. L. B. Clark and VIM. A. Cook,
defended.
There are many reasons to believe
that the whole affair was the result, Of
a preconcerted scheme, on the part Of
leading Republicans, to manufacture
political capital.
We will enumerate some of than.
LIST. Negro sympathy and opposition
to the fugitive slave constitutes m,st
of their capital and had they succeed.
ed, it would have worked to q charm
I'd. Republican politics in this State
are managed by the same men wlc
hired the Mormons while fleeing from
Illinois, to cast Their votes at kanes-
vile for the purpose of defeating the
Democracy and the same who inst-
gated hog droving for similar our-
pose, which proves them capable and
willing to engage in the most detesta-
BILE means of ACCOMPLISHING iheil
ends.
Sd. These kidnappers, when ar
rested without being prompted, al
though pretending to be strangers ron
Missouri, at once sent for r. L. B
Clark, the Chairman of tie Republi
can State Committee, to defend them
4th. On the day of the trial, Sena
tor Grimes left Burlington for Henry
County, the seat of the excitement
doubtless for the purpose Of aiding il
turning the affair to good account but
when he found Dean was at New Lon
don, prosecuting, he went on to Mt
Pleasant to render such aid there q
he might be able.
5th. Clark in the defense tried t,
turn it against the Fugitive Slav'
Law, but Dean spiked his guns a
once.
There are many other reasons whicl
we shall give hereafter. In the mean
time the whole truth will NANTES
itself.
Can any honest man follow in tn
wake of such leaders

Ruscb, the Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor was a member of
the last State Senate. When the
School Bill was before the Senate Mr..
Thompson moved to amend the bill as
follows. See Senate Journal, page 296.
Mr.. Thompson moved to amend section
30 by striking out in the third line of the
fourth subdivision the word unanimous,
and insertafter the wore" consent" the words
=" of majority of resident tax payera"
The effect of this amendment would
be to strike out that portion of the bill
which made it necessary that unani-
nous consent should be given before
negro children could be admitted into
the same schools with white children
leaving it SO that bare majority
could admit the colored youths. The
amendment was lost yeas to p
nays. Those voting in favor Of the
amendment we're Senators Atkins,
Brown, M'Coy, Reed, RUSCH, Shar-
raddan, Thompson-all Republican.
Here then we have the Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
committed on the record in favor Of
mingling white and black children in
the same schools. Here We have him
voting for the most ultra measures Of
aooi'tlonism-a measure 90 odious that
It could command only sevsa votes in .
Republican senate. Rusch openly
records his vote in favor of this.
Remember, the Lieutenant Governor
10 by virtue Of his Office President Of
the Board Of Educatiou-has voice
and vote in making our school laws.
Note this, and then remember how he
stands on the record.
II You are in favor Of having your
children sent to the same school, and
placed upon the seine record with
aepre children, vote for Ruah. If you
ass oppossd to TIA vote for Bab6itt.

A Race Between States,

In 1856, two young States were admit
ted into the constellation of the Union.
MICHIGAN, with one half the extent of
territory of Arkansas, challenged her Sis
ter State for twenty years race, and
named as her rider, "Ncither aareyy nor
Involuntary servita8e, ualess TOR punish.
p'ent for crime, shall erer BE tolerated in
his State." ARKANSAS accepted the
challenge, and named her rider, "7hc
General issemIiy shall hare no po,rer 10
pass ldws for he emancipation Of sirres,
,cittom the consent Of the ownsrs." Thus
mounted, these two States, the one Free,
the other Slave, started, twenty years ago;
and nov, having arrived at the end of the
proposed race, let us review and mark the
progress of each. Michigan comes out in
1886, with three times the population Of
slave Arkansas, with three times the as.
sessed value OF farms, farming im mplements
and machinery, and with eight times the
number Of public schools. Yet Arkansas
has tbs richest sell asI the meat ase:s'
