Hom it WINS Done in Arknnsns.

The recent brnwls in the House at
Washington, remind us of story we
heard in Arkansas, several years since,
which has never been in print. 1t is no
disrcspect to the present enlightened ana
genial State of Arkansas to say, that in
its incipicnt or Territorial days it was
rather trough" 1t n very common
thing for man to leave the bosom oil his
family in sound health in the morning,
and returned dead at night. Cuttings,
slashings, and shootings were of daily Oc-
tcurrence. 1t was dangerous to be safe.
The Legislature was chiefly composed OF
bulIics and blacklegs, and the scenes en-
acted by them were often very eccentric.
Ia fight arose about something in "the
House" one day. The Hon. Mr.. Bangor, of
Napoleon, called the Hon. Mr.. Slangcr, of
Helena, a liar The Hon. Sanger retorted
with n bullet, which took the Hon. Ban
gers left ear. Both then sprang into the
centre of the hall with drawn bowie
knives The Speaker said "hy Cd, we
must have fair play in this business i and
rushed out into the floor with n cooked
pistol in one hand, and a tremendous
:.toothpick" in the other, and in tones of
thunder commanded the Representatives
to form IL ring. A ring was formed, and,
in the classics of the time, the comhntHnts
.twent in" They cut each other fright
fully, and for quite Al spell it was difficult
to decide who was the better man. But
finally Bangor, by an adroit thrust, cut oil
Slanger's head, and instant death was the
result. Mr.. SIanger's remains being re-
moved, and order restored, Mr.. Bangor
arose and said :-"It is my painful duty to
announce to this House the death OF the
Hon. Vim. Slanger, of Helena. he was
good at draw-poker and faro, and handled
the toothpick beautiful. He wasn't of no
account at legislatin'. He was middlin' on
hosses. He had no family, 'ceptin' his
brother Bill, the best poker player on Red
River | move resolutions of respect be
passed and for'arded to his brother Bill"
They were passed.

Frank Pierpont's Position On the Mig
ger Question.
IFrom the Pruntytown Visitor. ]

Mr. Pierpont is whOle-souled, true
hearted son of Western Virginia, with Il
mind too noble and a soul too proud to
truckle to the nabobs and negro lords of
Eastern Virginia, who look with contempt
upon their Western brethren, simply be-
cause our wives cannot afford to have two
or three little dnrkies trailing after them
holding up their skirts as they walk the
streets We do not envy our Eastern bre-
thern their prosperity i'll this respect, but
do honestly think that, whilst they enjoy the
distinguished benefits of these little aarhics,
they should pay Il tax on their just Valua-
ton ut the same rates that other property
is taxed. Our eastern brethren are very
willing to do the "doncing," but they have
so far made us ''co-heas" pay the '!tfddter." "
The truth is in all legislation, great and
small, the east have always acted worse
than selfish toward their western brethren
With them, eastern Yirgini" always has
been better than western Virginia. While
this state of things has always existed in
Virginia, the democratic party, which has
always enjoyed the nscendency in our
State, and which processes to act on the
principles of justice and equality to all,
has done nothing to correct these abuses.
Nay, more; that party has, all along winked
at the assumption of bold power by the
niggcr owners of the east-an assumption
as glaring as it is unjust.

Shaving Opposed to the Diffusion of
the Gospel.


A fashionable London publisher has just
issued work, by theologic Cambridge
Master of arts, in which it is proved, or at
FAeast asserted, which is much the same
thing these days, that shaving is a him
drance to the spread of the gospel. He
says:
"Whilc the bells of our churches are
pealinr their welcome to the house of
prayer, while thousands of devout, albeit
close shaved Christians, are vending their
way to the sanctuary, lo!in every by-street
shaving shop stands open, and through
the glazed door you see, whNH A human
face soaped and lAthercd to the eyes, with
another immortal being standing by his
side, one hand grasping his victims nose
and with the other impiously defying the
the commandment of God with upltt-
ed steel. Who can doubt that n
wilful transgrGssiOn of the fourth
commandment is in process, and that
the histriouic art itself is called into
existence on the holy day? For, look, the
evidence is before You. The operation
begins: the razor is applied. Bit by bit
the lather disappears and after sundry
winccs and wry faces, and twistings and
contortions, this serio-comic performance
is concluded. The lip and chin is denudcd
of natures edining gorb; and the liberia
ted subject takes his place too late, alas,
for church now, in civilized society. He
is cleaner (os the effeminate will talk it
not better man. But why cleaner2 Be-
cause fashion, dated from a licentious
period has attached false idea of unclean-
iiuess to hair upon the mouth and chin
And to CRAFTY this false taste, this arbitrH-
ry taste this false whim, hours of valuable
time must be wasted, and the blessed Sab
bath desccrntcd."

RepublIcRnism tn Western Virginia.
Extract from article in the Welisburg Herald.I
The other day we published the proceed
ings of large meeting in Hancock of
similar purport. There have been meet
! ings of n similar character in Wood, Tay-
lor, and for all we know, many other
counties, and demonstration in one conn
ty has uniformly the effect of operating as
an incentive to do likewise in others
The lawyers, judges politicians and lead
ing talking men have hcen lntterly so
unanimously "democratic,' that modest
people had come to consider it in some
way dsreputable TO profess any other
faith. but there is Il prospect now that the
self-adjustable platform of that very ac-
commodating party will have to be pieced
with a northern plank, or we will not all
be able to stand on it. The splice must
also be of Union timber. Indications are
very strong in that direction. Frank Pier
point is stirring up the soyereigus in the
mountain counties on the abuses of our
Federal and State administration, and
especially calling their attention to the inc-
quality of slavery and to the arrogant, over
bearing airs of its champions and defend
erS He is doing it to some purpose, too,
if we may Judge from the noise made by
those whom he is belnboring. He is call
ed an "abolitionist," "black republican"
"trqtor," and even q "Yankee;" but these
abusive cpithets seem only to have the cf.
| feet of giving new vigor to his arm and
new venom to q tongue that in times past
has never been slow in denuncintion of
political opponents. Lay on, Frank, you
can't give them lick amiss! The Prun-
tytown Fisitor, newspaper of the free
and enlightened stamp, not very large, but
mighty keen, that has recently sprung up
in Taylor county, is also doing good SER
vice in the way of disseminating correct
information among the bcnighted De-
mocracy of that region. Such paper
should circulate, if not for its sentiments,
| for the novelty of thing; and the fact that
it lives and thrivcs is evidence that lis
doctrines are not unacceptable.

~ When, six years ago, Douglas Ne
braska Bill to repeal the Missouri Compromise
was pending in Congress, Gov. Seward
reminded the repealers that there was such q
thing as re-enactnaent as well as repeal, as
they in time would learn. The prediction
was secuted, the idea that the proviso of
Freedom would ever be restored pronounced
absurd. The Kansas Legislature has Just
passed bill, over their Governors veto,
which reads as follows: - IN,

whereof the party shall have been duly con-

the vain endeavor, by fraud, by force, by

angry political contests aroused-and all for
what? Can the introducer of the Nebraska

BURNING SLAVES AL1vE.-When Mr.. Van

charged the South with the crime of burn

denied the truth of the statement, and pro-
nounced him scoundrel and liar for
making it. Mr.. Gartrell, of Georgia, also de-
clared the allegation falsehood and its
author slanderer. The New York Tribune
of Monday publishes list of eleven we'll
authenticated cases of slave burning. all
occurring within few years, and nearly all
taken from Southern papers. These eleven
cases are only such as the editor of the
Tribune was able to discover by bastv
examination of his files. If every outrage
OF this kind had been made public, the list
would probably be swelled to hundreds. In
view of these facts we think it not improba.
