Covodeism in Arkansas.

oDo you consider it good demoepacy for the Pre- sident and members of the State Senate to appro- priate the full and entire sum of three hundred dollars of the peoples money to pay for whisky, gin and brandy drank by them (the President and members aforesaid) in their committee room? :
 Did you want to make Fletcher Cover nor then? You promised him the gouernorshp to obtain his o-operaon and infuence for your selfish purposes. Those objects accomplished, you threw him off Thus do you use and have used your plianf fools. who, like Virgi's bees make honey, but not for themselvcs''- Line Democrat.
 We enter our solemn protest against the in- cipient spirit of Covodeism inaugurated by the political carrions who flap their vulture wings, and perch like Poe's Raven above the threshold of the Old Line Democrat office. If such pure, highminded gentle men as Judge Fletcher are to be branded as co-operators" in fraud, and the "pliant tools" of any man or set of men, honorable men will refuse to hold office, and the spells will be left to bankrupt aspirants alone, which seems to be the desire of our neigh Dor. Judge Fletcher is too we'll known to require any defence at our hands. This at- tack upon him is made solely because he cannot be made "pliant tool' of, and persuaded to repudiate the State conven- tion. The Old Line had better follow up the attack by slandering Judge Watkins, Gov Hampton, Judge Gould, Judge Tot ten, Judge Quillin-in fact all the aspirants before the last convention, who without exception support the nominee,

 These words are in common use by Hi nois hoosiers, and form fair sample of the style of the "polite writer's from that State. By way of explanation we would say that the above expressions, ''nincompoop, goose, etc., are not used by the editors of the True Democrat, but quoted from the readers of the Old Line, who we think are perfectly excusable for showing in this way their utter contempt for the "Rector policy" and the sophistry of it's defender

Red River Raft.

v The delays in attempting to open the navigation of Red river have proved des- trucive to the industrial interests of large region of country. From the bank of the obstructed channel to the high lands, some eighteen miles distant, the raft has caused the water to overflow the most valuable tracts, here converted into swamps, there overspread by extensive lakes, while the whole area of the drained region is inter- sected by perfect network of bayous.
 Some of them, in connection with the lakes, into which they spread, are naviga- ble, and have been used for several years by boats running from the river, below the raft, to the town of Jefferson, in Texas Mr. Moore, steamboat captain, who has long been engaged in the Red river trade, has lately discovered practicable mode of overcoming the difficulties interposed in the way of navigation by the raft, using the Jefferson route until Red bayou is reach ed, and through an old channel of the river, re entering the main channel above the raft A very small canal of less than four hundred feet, will complete the connection desired, so as to open the upper Red river country market. He has also ascertained the practicability as he believes, by short cut off, of making new main channel for the Red river, thus obviating the necessity of any labor to remove the raft, which is in his opinion of doubtful utility, as single stick of floating lumber, of any considera- ble length, is sufficient to block up anew the channel if once really opened.-N. o. Picayune.
 There is but one practicable way to secure permanent navigation on Red river-that is to open the raft The bill which has passed the House of Representatives giving to private company the right of opening, and keeping open, this obstructed stream, is move in the right direction. This con- pany will, if not thwarted by silly meddle some opposition, accomplish fully and com pletely the great work so much needed by south western Arkansas.

's John Seldom Right"

The Old Line quotes a complimentary notice from the True Democrat to this con- tented but disappointed aspirant for guber- material honors There is a beautiful story of fairy land ("Seldom Right" is fond of poetical illustration) which runs as fol- lows: A young man wearied with the chase was sleeping on a bed of grass and flowers. The queen of Fairies passing along by chance, with her train found him thus rcposing in sweet contentnaent She direct ed Ariel one of her attendants, to play in numerable pranks upon Ahmed, for that was the sleeper's name. This was done by tickling his ears with straws, and startling his brain with thousand fantastic dreams, until at last wearied with the amusement, the queen of fairyland placed on his finger a magic ring as the wand of prosperity, and whispering in his ear that word which ever falls on the soul like the ''dews of Heaven, " "Hope''--she spread her light wings and departed. Thereafter Ahmed prospered Tn all his undertakings. Fame and fortune showered upon him applause, wealth and political honors. But elated by his pros perity, in an evil hour he threw away the fairy's gift--he deserted his friends-and the ring passed into other hands. Those who had once thought him wise now laugh ed at his imbecility, and pited his blun- ders He became the tool of designing men, and political carrions gathered around him to probe his dying carcass with their long -peehed bills. We turn from the dis gusting picture! Every one can read the lesson.
