Hy The Old Line Democrat attempts tC

Ey The Old Line Democrat attempts to throw odium upon the Pulaski county democratic ticket, by charging that 1t was made in secret conclave in a room where know nothings were formerly initiated.
 Does the editor, when sitting in his sanctum, never look around him and re- fleet that it is the place whence issued, at one time, all the printed bills of the order? Does he not know that his partner, Mir. Butler. was once one of the publishers of the secret proceedings of the order? Does lie never reflect that his own paper is issued weekly from concern that has always been known to be a know nothing concern?
 We are constrained to believe that Mr. Peek knows and feels his uncomfortable position, and his murmurings and com plaints illustrate the proverb that "misery loves company

CoRREcTIoN.-Sincet the democratic conn tv convention nominated Mr. W. F. Pope for county and probate judge, the opposl- ton, both through the papers and on the street, have been busy in insinuations and inuendocs to the effect that he would not support the nominees of that convention, and that he stood in an attitude of partial hostility to the democratic party.
 We are authorized to contradict, emphat- ically, all such assertions and surmises.- Mr. Pope will chcerfully and actively sup port the entire democratic ticket; and re- sards his nomination as a very high com plimcnt. Mir. Pope is not only now a thorough democrat, but has been for several years past.

Gks- The editor of the Old Line Demo- crat makes wonderous pretensions to "eourtsons bearing and high bred a;gnity." :" As sample, we clip the following at ran- dom from the seven mortal columns of abuse he poured out upon us in his last issue:
 "This with a singular perversion of truth and good taste, Mfr. Johnson attributes to lack of coy a7e and maniapss on oT part; but he only mistake. courtesy for conardice-an error which to small minds, vitia'ed tastes and buned faculties like his, is not at all to be wondered at"
 If this is courteous bearing and hiph bred dignity" who can tell us what is loy bred dignity?

FERGUsoS's PoINT.-A new city has been laid off at Ferguson's Point, the eastern terminus of the Mississippi, Ouschita and Red river railroad Six miles of this road have been completed, the cars are running on it, and the remainder of the road is fast progressing towards completion. On the 18th day of April, prox., the company will offer for sale, at auction about one-halt the lots in the new city. Besides its natu- ral advantages, the fact of its being the terminus of a railroad that will keep ex- tending westward and penetrate a rich country, will insure the building up of a ilourishing place at this point. The invest7 ment in lots is safe one, and if they can be bought for few hundreds now, there is a reasonable prospect they will be worth thousands in a few years. See advertise mcnt in another column.

Abstract of the Decisions of the Supreme
 Court of the State of Arkansas. Prepared expresslytorthe True Democrat, Jy
 F. zy. HoApLEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW s+','',s' vs: s, .u Appeal from cai,o'.
 This was an application by Daniel H. Sessions, to the Chieot circuit court, for |. mandamus against Mathis, the SheriEDf said county, to compel him to take thirteen of the bonds of the State issued to the E. Bank under the provisions of its charter etc., in satisfaction of a judgment obtained bv Gordon N. Peay, the Receiver, against Sessions, on note drawn in the ordinary form, given for land purchased of said bank
 The respondent claimed that under an anreement and express understanding that said tract of land was sold and should bo paid for at specie rates and prices, and not for bonds, coupons, or any other medium of pavment whatsoever"
 Tine relator demurred to theresponse, the court overruled thessdemurrer, and he restel and appealed.
 THe Court held:
 1st. It is within the constitutional power of the legislature to make the overdue coq- pons attached to bonds of the State issued to the R. E. Bank, receivable in payment of debts due the bank, or the trustees under the deed of assignment.
 2d The charter of the R. E. Bank does not require it to pay, orreceive in payment, the bonds, before they become due.
 3d. Where notes are drawn in the or1i- nary form, (by which it is understood that they are made payable in dollars, and it is not expressed in the face of the note that they are to be paid in coupons or bonds # would not be contradictory, but consistent with what is expressed in the face olthe notes, to admit parol proof of the agreement that they were not to be paid in bonds, or coupons, but in specie
 Judgment of the court below affirmed
 NorE BY THE JuDGE.-''The facts being similar in Sessions vs. Mathis No. 900, the judgment must be affirmed in that case also"

Those who were minors when they came to this county, who have resided here five years and are now twenty-one years of age, are entitled to a certificate, without having previously declared their intention to become citizens There are many in this State, who can vote at the next election and should avail themselves of the privilege We call attention to it now, as by procrastination the matter may run until 1t is too late Let them go to the clerk of the proper county, make the affidavit and receive the certificate at once.
 Should there be any informality in the declaration or previous proceedings, early action will give them time to have correc- tion made, before the day of election.

DIsoRDER.-At Cassius NJ. Clay's meeting
on Wednesday night there was consider
able disorder raised by boys and enraged
Douglasites on the outskirts of the crowd.
The speaker was frequently interrupted. At
one time an attempt was made TO raise an
alarm of fire. Mr. Clay remarked that he
never attempted to make a speech but there
was an alarm of fire. He was compelled to
stop speaking several times for the Douglas
ties to become quiet.
Common courtesy and respect for the Ia
dies present should have restrained these
disturbers from interrupting stranger. We
are satisfied that the mass of community
and the majority of the Democrats, will
frown upon any such attempts to restrain
free speech.
There will be d great deal of open air
speaking this summer, and all parties should
unite in a common endeavor to have peace
and attention to the exercises at these meet
ings. 1t is to the interest of all parties that
this should be so.
We especially exhort Republicans to pre-
serve a perfectly respectful demeanor at
meetings of other parties which they may
attend. Commit no act of disrespect to-
ward your opponents which may serve as
an excuse for disorder at Republican meet

WASHINGTON, July 90, Mt is asserted
by those who have made inquiry, that the
secret organization which existed lately out
offears of ofbloodshed in the Cherokee country
is, to say the least political, and similar to
what was commonly known in the States as
the Know Nothing party and is confined to
Indians.
Our Government has been watching with
some interest the movements in that nation,
particularly those growing OIt of the agita-
ton of the slavery question, as any out
break in the Convention might involve the
whites in that country in the consequences.
Danger is now apprehended and the U. S. In
dian Agent having, by this time, reached
the Cherokee Reservation, will take i'm
mediate measures for the expulsion of the
white intruders.
Judge Greenwood, the Commissioner of
Indian affairs, will leave Washington in the
course of a few days for the Pixies Peak
country.
In 1857 a treaty or arrangement was
made with the Arapahoes and Cheyennes
which, while it fixed the limits within which
these Indians might hunt, did not acknowl-
edge their title to the land, but owing to
the extension of the white population they
have been seriously curtailed in their SUP
plies from the chase.
In view of this and the fact that they are
friendly Indians, Congress at its last session
appropriated $4,000 for presents and to
defray the expenses of holding a council
with them, regarding their future welfare.
The Commissioners former visits among
various tribes of Indians having been pro-
ductive of highly beneficial results it is be-
lieved that the one now contemplated will
have favorable effect and that in accord
ance with the earnest decree of the Arapa-
hoes and Cheyennes they will be secured in
the possession of permanent homes and in
duced to change their present mode of OBJ
tanning precarious subsistence.
