Great Gathering of the Sons of Malta
 Election Of Cardinals.

The St. Paul Min. ) Pioneer, of the 26th ult., gives an account of the Sons of Malta at the falls of Minnehaha. We quote the following:
 The delegates present and by proxy proceeded to ballot for the nine carlinas- electing one at time The election was spirited, and the friends of the different can didates laborel zealously for their favolites the contest bcingas to who should be the chief of the cardinas Ten ballots were had, the last one resulting in the election of Jerome Bonapartc. The defeated can didates were stephen A. Douglas, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Louis koSsuth, Prince Albert, Geo. Peabody, John w. Forney, John Slidell, Gov. Alex Randall.
 The remaining eight regular candidates were elected, each one on the first ballot as follows: Geo. Peabody, of London; Gui- scope Garibaldi, of Italy; Louis kossuth, of Hungary; Stephen A. Douglas, of Hi nois, U. S.; John w. Forney, of Pennsyl- vania, U. S.; Alex. Randall, of Wisconsin, U. S.; Alex. Ramsey, of Minnesota, U. s.. Don Alvarez Merrino, of Cuba.
 Supreme G. R. Cardinals was then ap- pointed as follows: New York city-Hcnrv Ward Beecher, John Van Buren Isaac V. Fowler and Horace Greedy. Boston-Gov. Banks, ChaS G. Greene and Vim. Schou- Ter. Cincinnati-.J Scott Harrison, E. C.. Pugh, Frederick Hunt and A. W. Fran cisco Cleveland-Col. S. Bliss, stephen B. Sturges, Dr. Charles G. Ames, Gen. J. w. Fitch, A. F. Winslow, Geo. B. Senter, A. w. Fairbanks, Dr. E. T. Sterling and Charles F. Brown Toedo-Gen. James B. Steedman, c. B. Dennett, II. F. Smith and Col J. R. Bond.
 The remuneration of $. c. R. Cardinals is to be in proportion to their services.
 It will be seen that, although Europe again has the chief of the orer, the United States have virtually five of the cardinals. As Don Alvarez Merrino is devoted friend of the project of nnneXing Cuba to this coun- try, Cuba is to be classed hereafter, so far IS the action of this order is concerned, as already part and parcel of the Union. This has been decleed by unanimous vote oi the cardinals present.
 There were many distinguished brethren from abroad, among whom none commando ed more deservedly the attention ot the as sembly than Cardinal Haroun Bey, of Con- stantinople; and it is regretted by all that ht would not consent to act as one ot the car dinals for the ensuing year.
 There were several delegates from Europe, and "a number of grand commanders from al most every state in the union and Cuba, who together with few brethren from abroad participated with the cardinals in the feast which was conceded on all hands to one of the most sumptuous and splendid ever got ten up in this country. Over 2,OoO.OO members of the order were represented, and from all parts the most encouraging reports were received of the condition of the order, and its rapid increase.
 The time and place for the meeting O the grand body next year was agreed upon owing to the absence of large majority O the cardinals, whose duty it is, under ths constitution, to designate the time and , place.

EDITOR TRrE DEMOCRAT

Sir: l see in your paper of Aug. 31st, a communication from Mr. Kelly at Mur- freesboro', in which he complains about the irregularity of the mails, and as your paper has been for some time past sent by this office, it maybe that he thinks the fault may lie here, and for that reason I wish to say to you that from some cause or other the TruesDemocrat for Murffeesboro' has quit coming by this office, and your paper for this office does not arrive regular, and It sometimes comes from Washington, whether it Is put in the through mail at Little Ro.k or the stage drivers fail to de- liver all the way mail do not know, but
 it goes bv some times also notice com munication from the post master at Mur- fresboro', in the south Arkansas Democrat
 in regard to the mails from there. He seems to think that the post masters are to blame;
 it may be so, all that know about it is that all the mail that comes to this office for Murfreesboro' is sent there by the first mail that goes out. That there Is delays some times, have not doubt, and that some person is to blame, am equally cer- tain, but where the fault lies do not know, l would be glad to see it ferreted out and let those who are in fault bear the blame, and the innocent not be censured. The pa- pers from Washington do not all come, and at the same time they come out for some of the offices one day and perhaps the next day for the other offices, but I do not know who is at fault about it. You can give this an insertion if you see proper to do so. w. B. STEER, P. A :.

MT. Hindman's Speeches about the
 JOhnsOns

Mr. Hindman, in his speeches, is making some grave charges against the ",john. sons" The Searcy Eagle says
 He charged them with dishonesty using s270,- GOO obtained from the State bank and specified the amount each one had drawn, etc
 MT. Hindman asserts this charge, and leaves the people to believe that the money was dishonestly obtained and never paid back. The whole assertion is a deception and falSehood.
 The amount the " .Johnson's" borrowed of the bank we are not able just now to as certain, as the receiver in chancery is ab sent. But ace do know Mis tat hat epery cem Mey 6orrowed Mey hage long since paid buck, wiM eight per cent. interest. Neither the banks nor the State have lost one cent by any Johnson or Conway. They have been scrupulous in settling all such debts, and any charge against them to the con- trarv is falsehood.
 We are thus explicit, because MT. Hind man is wilfully attempting to deceive. He was once the friend of the 'Johnsons, ? and defended them against the very charges he is now himself making.
 A change has come over Mr. Hindman's S views. He is now the son-in-law of Henry L. Biscoe, one of Me Trustees of Me Real Estate Bank. He is suppliant instrument in Mr. Biscoe's hands, MT. Biscoe is not only largely indebted to the Real Estate Bank for money borrowed, which he has never paid, but there is judgment now standing against him, rendered 24th June last, for over s12.OOO, for money which he

 We must be permitted to fling one flower on the grave of DAVID B. GREER The an nouncement of his death came not unex- pected upon us, and with a heart full of grief we listened to the sad news. To us, Maj. Greer had been an intimate friend and associate for years past, and his death has made void in our little circle that will never be filled. Faults he had, but they were such only as shed lustre upon his many rare and exalted virtues. Let his faults be buried with him, the memory of his virtues will live green in the hearts of those who knew him.
 Maj. Greer had been in wretched health for some time past, and few months ago, stricken down with paralysis, he was re- moved to his sisters in Nashville, Tennessee. There, with the best of medical attention, and sisters nursing, he was encouraged with an illusive hope of recovery. But all was powerless to save him, the summons had come, and on the 29th August, in the 57th year of his age. he quietly and resign edly breathed out his life He died in the full possession of his intellect, and, we are told, in the firm belief that he was exchang- ing mortality for blessed imm ortality
 Mai. Greer emigrated to Arkansas in the year 1928, and was citizen when Arkan- saS was admitted as sovereign State in the Union. In 1S40, just after the inaugu- ration of Archibald Yell, as the second go- vernon of the State, he was elected by the General Assembly to the honorable office of Secretary of State This office he con tinued to hold, by subsequent re-elections in 1S44, AS, '52, and '56, to the day of his death The duties of the office he per formed faithfully, and his many re-elections prove with how much satisfaction to the public. Opposition to his reelection he always had, but the opposition only served to test the unbounded popularity he enjoyed with the people. He was always triumph antly reelected.
 Mai Greer, though possessed of an ac- complished education and gigantic intel lect, was an extremely modest man. He sought neither distinction or wealth. The highest honors of the State were laid at his feet, and he rejected them. In 1S4S, the governor offered him seat in the United States Senate as the successor of Sevier, but he declined-preferring the humble of flee he then held to the exalted honors of a position in the higher branch of the na- tional Congress He was truly an unselfsh, unostentatious and an unambitious man.
 He possessed in an eminent degree the confidence and affectionate esteem of his friends. He died the death of a good and great man, and his loss is sincerely mourned

Mn. EDITOR: Will you, if convenient, publish the following statement of the pro- gress of the Mt. Vernon Association in Ar kansas:
 A little more than four months have elaps- ed since the first effort was made to call forth the patriotic sentiments of the Arkan- sians, and the noble manner in which they have thus far bonded indicates an inter est and appreciation of the object.

 The Jefferson Independent speaks well { of the theatrical company now at that city. and says:
 ' The company leave us in few days for Litt1o Rock. and will open the theatre about the 2Otb of this month. We take pasure in recommendino them to our neighbOrs but regret that thev cannot remain longer with us. Maj. Turnbull. undoubted. ly, has the best theatrical company that has eyer visited the State, and long as it is composed of the present kind of material it will be a paying and popular institution"
 The Independent has a sensible articlSAn regard to the bill to reduce the rate of taxa- tion. It was a buncombe measure. voted for by great many the hope, perhaps the belief that it would be stihed in the other House or fail to become law. The cry of taxes Is great hmnhug. The rate of taxation in Arkansa, is much less than that of any State in the Union, with one or two exceptions. And the people, if left to themselves, will voluntarily tax themselves at much higher rates. For instance, sever al counties adopted system of taxation for road purposes and always placed it at the highest limit-onc half of one per cent. So in the levee taxes, when Desha county voluntarily pays as levee tax a far greater sum than the whole State pays as a State tax, So of Phillips county. Remember ing that we have no poor-iatcs or school tax, or any of the many rates and taxes common in other States, seventeen cents on the hundred dollars will he ft4lnd to be | lower than the rates in other States. Un- der existing laws, which seem to have es- capped the notice of the astute editors who have condemned the action of the Governor in this regard, the surplus in the treasury may be used in the same manner as a sink ing fund and the interest on the Stat debt kept from accumulating More than that. the principal can be reduced, so that the next General Assembly will find the State debt reduced, and this without onerous bu- dens upon the people This subject will be referred to again and the facts and figures produced. In the meantime the opposition and disorganizers may make what capital they can out of it, but we predict no act of Gov. Conway will eventually be more hear tily indorsed or generally popular than the one to prevent population.
 From the Madison Pioneer we learn that the county court subscribed the internal improvement fund of St. Francis county to the railroad, to build the bridge across the St. Francis river; 8S 1000 stock was sub scribed by the citizens to. aid in building the second division of the road We are told that work will commenced on this end of the road, beginning opposite this city, in a short time

LITTLE ROCK. Nov. Is. 30.

LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 15, '59.
 DEAR kEw-We have at last fairly got under weigh and have pretty good re- port to make of our success so far. We have laid our plans and carried them out quietly. We have hooked most of the new members and got them to believe there is a trightful junto here who do all sorts of horlid things. At every boarding house and hotel we have our friends who never let an opportunity pass to abuse Conway, John son, Sebastian and every man who is their friend. This persistent denunciation will have its effect. Besides that, you know that Conway seldom goes out and is not able to counteract our efforts So of John. son, as he never stoops to honeyfuggle men, it give. us a good chance to call them aristocrats, purse proud and all that sort of thing. If stranger comes he is at once introduced to some of our set If we think it will pay we give him ride and tell him that every evidence of prosperity he sees was the result of triumphs over " the family" and all want of improvements is to be attributed to them. If they ask us who compose the family we tell them John son, Conway and Sebastian, or Johnson, Conway and Hampstead, according to the sympathies of the person we address. But our trump card is calling the regular demo- crats collar men. If we want to pass a bill we tell them the True Democrat is opposed to it, though in point of fact that paper or its editor never seek to to influence legisla- ton or legislators. We tell them they dare not vote for our bill, that they are collar men and bound to vote against us The result is, that, to show their independence they vote with us and thus we are enabled to carry measures. Men hate to be accused of having masters, and we intend to work this vein fully It will go hard with us if we do not make some really believe they are governed by tyrants, little dreaming that all the while they are holding their necks to have our york put on them

What the Arkansas Papers Say.

The Pocahontas Advertiser gives the pro ceeding of a meeting of the citizens of Ran. dolph, Lawrence and Greene counties, held at Pocahontas, on the 31st ult., to take steps to extend the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad to r Pocahontas The dis tance over which it proposed to build the road is only no miles. The following is from the Advertisers
 Every day ve see men from the older States riding over our country in search of ldnds-a ma iori| of them wanting land for actual settlement. Theimeis here that the men of means finding out Where their best field ofoperation is-they have at lHt by the aid of our improved travelling tacili- ties been induced to come and look at our country -1Ih having seen for themselves, they are invest ing ncanS in rich lands, than which there Is better in the world. We are pleased to see .his realization of the object for which we hayeso long and zaously labored, the improvement of the coun- try--and we hope that it will continue until Ar kansss shall take her true position in the galaXyof State."
 He Des Arc Citizen contains puff, of the sread eagle order, of the champion of the oiSorganizers, and after giving the heads of tn speech, which appear to be selec- tionsfrom the Gazette, arranged in some- thing like order, the man of the Citizen spasnodically gaspS out ' success to Hind man Eav we. ''lf that be treason make the mospf it." Of course the Citizen would say < and if it dared would say success to graa many other things. As to the trea- son, It the editor of the Citizen console himsei with the reflection that he cannot comm treason.

The Per Diem Party.


 At the head of our columns for the last three weeks we have kept standing eight questions. We have asked an answer ot MT. Hindman and his special Helena organ, but no answer comes The bold Colonel fiinches from the responsibility. Whvnot avow 1t and save character? Every one knows he advocated the per diem, and urged it on with his friends in the legislature All know that he defended it in his great speech at Helena, and that the resolutions were mere reflex of his speech.
 But for his inspiring support and encour- agement, many good man in that legisla- ture would have refused to approve it, or to take the money, and the iniquity would probably have never been committed.
 It was trap to involve the members in war on Gov. Conway and the True Dem. ocrat, and it has plunged them in troubles Will Mir. Hindman defend them in his speeches, or cruelty desert them We think he will desert them, and if so-good bye boys.
 Below we repeat the questions and earn estiy invite an answer
 Did not Mir. Hindman, in Little Rock. during the session of the legislature, take an active part in advising and instigating the members to draw per diem pay for the recess?
 Dld he not promise that, if they did draw 1t, he would defend it, and, if neces- sary. would visit the counties and take the stump for that purpose?
 Did he not urge Col. Oates to sign the per diem pay accounts of the members for the recess?
 Did he not advocate the election of Beni. I. Duval as a speaker who would sign those accounts?
 How can he, member of the Congress of the United States, justify the Intrusion of his advice and influence to induce the State legislators to take money belonging to the people to which they could have no right?
 Did he not in his speech at Helena, on the 23d of May last, attempt to defend and justify the taking per diem pay for the recess?
 Did not the public meeting of the 23d of May, after the delivery of Mir. Hindman's speech, attempt, in their resolutions, to defend and justify the taking'of per diem pay for the recess; and did not those reso- lutions of his friends meet with his full approval?
 Is not the defense and justification of this per diem iniquity one of the objects of the speeches, which he has announced he will shortly make in the counties of the northern district?
