The HERALD AND STATE ArD.-In a
former notice of the position of the Fort
Smith papers, upon the subject of State
aid, We took up the article of the Herald,
which characterized it as au 'antiquated old
fogy notion In our refutation, we had no
intention Of doing that paper injustice, but
We see by its last issue, that its sentiments
have suffered Misrepresentation at our
hands. We are pleased to state that the
Herald DOES NOT oppose State aid, in ac-
cOrdanee with the plan suggested in Our ar
ticle But will it commit itself to this
policy?
We are pleased with the suggestion of our
correspondent 4" Railroad in cur last, to
make the question of State aid test in
the approaching elections for State Officers.
and Members of the Legislature. Let nc
man be nominated that will not pledge
himself to the policy.
We now deem it pertinent to ask-will
the Herald. favor State aid, ir the shape,
and subject TO the conditions we have pro:
posed =?

EE In the U. S. Senate. on the 2d Sp

ESr In the U. S. Senate. on the Cd, Sen
ator Green introduced a bill granting to
James NJ. Hughes and John j. Mudd the
right of way through the public &ands, to
construct q line of telegraph from Missouri
Arkansas or Texas, to Los Angeles, Cali
fornia which was referred to the Commit
tee on Public Lands.
This bill appropriates five sections of
land to each fifty miles of telegraph con-
structed, to be selected either before or at
the time, though not to interfere with lands
sold or held at the time by pre-e -emption, or
necessary for government use. On the COM
pletion of any section, government to be
allowed to transmit dispatches of public
nature to the account of government. No
money to be exacted in payment for such
dispatches until the amount thereof shall
be equal to one dollar for each acre of land
received by the grantees, which shall then
be considered as payment for the SANG
after which such dispatches to be paid fol
as others, unless further selections of land
should be made. The bill also provides fol
tha construction of telegraph line from
the Western border Of Iowa to Portland
in Oregon. and also branch connecting
thctwo main lines.-Repudlican.

Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of lit
tie iun at home, good people. Don't shut
up your houses lest the sun should fade
your carpets and your hearts lest a hearty
laugh should shake down some of the mus
Ity old cobwebs there If you want to
ruin your sons, let them think that all
mirtn and social enjoyment must be left
on the Threshold without, when thev come
at night. When once home is regarded
as only place to eat, drink, and sleep in,
the work IS begun that ends in gambling
houses and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation some,
where if they do not find it at their own
hearthstones. it will be sought in other, per
haps less profitable, places. Therefore. let
the fire burn brightly at night, and make
the home-nest delightful with all those lit
tie arts that parents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoysnlt spirits of your
children half an hour of merriment round
the lamp and freight Of home, bIots out
the remembrance U many care and an
noyanco during the day, and the hest safe
guard they can take with them into the
world Is the unseen influence of bright
little domestic sanctum.

dry resolutions - that he will insist on
a fair and open count, by tellers, of the
friends of each candidate, and will allow
none except Democrats to vote and that
lie will demand the appointment of dele
gates who will attend the Dover convention
and carry out in good faith, the instructions
given them. That course will be the death
blow to fraud and chicanery, and will in
fuse new life and purity into the organiza-
tion. 1t will then be, what its name i'm
plies, the party Of the people, and not the
party Of the politicians.
In conclusion. | repeat now what l have
often times said before, that will cheerful

the Democracy, whether favorable to my
aspirations or unfavorable.

1t Is reasonable, and indeed very moder-
ate, to presume that we shall have, in
another ten years, $4,000 miles Of COM
pleted railway, costing about 1900, ,OOO, 900
of dollars.
The present investment in Railroads is
equal to over forty three dollars for each free
person in the United States Assuming
the white population of this State to be
800, 900, we should at the present time. at
this ratio, have an investment in this class
Of property of $4,000, 900, or about the
same as Iowa, and 342 miles of completed
Railroad. Instead of this, we have but
3Si miles completed, costing little over
one million dollars, and, according 10 the
tables, 663 miles in prospect
Is this any argument for State aid a.? 1t
is most powerful argument for county
and municipal subscriptions. The real op-
position to the policy, which we advocate,
is not generally found among the working.
producing classes. 1t is found only among
such anxious politicians as are extremely
tender footed upon any new question, until
the popular pulse is felt (; Specializing non
residents who hold in their remorseless
grasp our finest lands, at the expense OF
our interests and few of those "anti-
quated old foSies that serve as the wheel
horses of every community Look about
in our own midst, and you shall find the
few who oppose railroads to be, not the
Manifested yeomanry Of the land, but men
of large means, and the very persons that
will reap the greatest benefits from their
construction. Hence, We are not only ad-
vocates for State aid, but also for county
and municipal subscriptions, either by the
order of the county courts, or by the direct
vote of the people. 1t is the only way to
reach such as are unwilling to bear their
just proportion of the burden.
We shall continue our statement next
week, showing the progress made by Rail
roads in the United States, in the last ten
years, and since their first commencement
in this country.

Trial of Stephens.
CHAfLEsroN, Va, February 9

CHARLESTON, Va, February 2.
The court opened at 10 o'cloo,. this NOR i.
ming, Judge Jphn Kinner, presiding. MIR.
Stephens was brought in by the iailer and
his guard, in ieeming perfect health. Sem
matt suggested to the Commonwealth the
propriety of announcing whether it would
elect to try ons or all the counts, or wheth-
er they relied apon one or all for convic-
ton. He alsoread letter from President
Buchanan in ,sgard to the inquiries regard
ing the trial. He thought that the Com
monwealth hai not acted in good faith to
the prisoners ID removing the case to the
Federal Court. and then receding from that
determinations, and that the indictment
should be pushed. He appealed to the
mercy of the Court, for he thought it would
certainly be an act of mercy to send the
prisoners to Snunton for trial
MIR. Harding, for the Commonwealth
had not made proposition for removal and
had strongly Totested against that through
out the trial. He was, at present, willing
to turn them al over to the federal authori-
ties, but after he State decided to try them
he was Oppose to any change of trial. He
did not think hat Gov. Wise had any au-
thoriiy to maxi the change.
Mr. Hunta denounced as utterly untrue
the assertiolioI Mr.. Sennatt that Stephens
was forced t. Ilead at the late term OF court.
MIR. Sennatldisclaiined any intention to
reflect on arr one, and spoke eloqqently of
the State q Virginia, hoping his tongue
might wiiht before he would speak in any
but terms ! praise of the State. When
the offer ws made to send Stephens to
Staunton, ! thought he should better ac-
cept the oift, for'it was matter of life
and deat'', I'D he might share the fate Of
Brown.

it continues. Mr.. Hindman is not only
one of the ,boldest men upon the floor,
