Hon. Jesse Turner.

We published, last week, letter from q
friend In franklin County. suggesting the
name OF Hon. Jesse Turner, of this place, ior
the State Senate This meets our most hear
ty concurrence, and we fully endorse the
views of our correspondent relative to the
many excellent qualities possessed by this
gentleman We know Of no man in Western
Arkansas more suitable, at this time, for the
position. The action of the next Legisa-
turc will constitute the turning point in the
destiny of our State. 1t is all important that
we send men of integrity and ability, as well
as men who feel an abiding interest in the
welfare of the State. Unless we come up like
mento this duty now, our State will be thrown
back two years, at least. Progression is the
ruling idea now, and Arkansas has not yet
felt the force of 1t to its fullest extent. We
must have men who appreciate this fully,
and we feel convinced none better than Mr..
Turner can he found. Holding this belief,
We say to all support Hon. Jesse Turner for
the State Senate, and we will undertake to
guarantee to you that If You send him, you
will never have cause to regret It.

Hon. Jonas M. Tibbetts.

We took the liberty Of placing this name
at the head of our last paper. We propose to
the people of this Congressional District a
man ofwhom they can never be ashamed. A
man of ability, education and refinement, and
one who, if elected will not only be willing to
aid the State i'm developing her unparalleled
resources, but one who has the ability to do
so.
Col. TIBBErrs Is q man whose very pres
ence bcspeaks for him friends and who by his
address, has acquired an immense influence at
Washington. He has voluntarily taken upon
himself, at great sacrifice of time and mon
cy, the task of procuring pardons nOm the
President, for many citizens of Arkansas.
His success in this particular, has been so
great that all such matters are referred to him
and his consent, which he never refuses, en-
sures the pardon. Col. 7. is a conservative in
politics and gentleman in his department,
ever ready to assist his friends, of whom he
has host. Another consideration Is he can
take the oath prescribed by radcalism, and,
therefore, will stand some chance TO be ad-
mitted into Congress.
The House of Representatives, at Washing
ton, Is no desirable place for men of liberal
views at this time, but we hope for better
things, and these better things can only be
brought about by the people determining to
send men of sound, practicalsense 1t is high
time we had Representative who has ability
enough to do something more than perform
the functions of a port monaie-receive mon
ey. We want man who can make himself
respected, even If he gets no mileage or per
diem; and we are convinced no man could
do more good now than the Hon. j. NJ. Tib-
belts. Let us clear the field of all incompe-
tency, by putting talent and industry in the
House from Arkansas. Let us have man of
whom we can be justly proud-one who will
truly represent the good sense and honesty of
the District and who will be support to
President Johnson In his enlightened resto-
ration scheme, and not one who will clog his
movements and bca "dcad weight on lions

"ResOtced, That we recommend to our peo
pie the establishment Of day-schools, under
proper regulations and trustworthy teachers,
for the education Of colored children"
We take the above resolution from the pro-
ceedngs of the General Conference of the
Episcopal Methodist Church, recently in ses-
sion In New Orleans. Thisis a step IN the right
direction, and the sooner we begin to ac-
knowledge the justness of the proposition,
the better IL will be for our own interest and
prosperity as community. AS we are APP
preaching the election for members of the
Legislature, it would be well for candidates to
canvass the subject Of the education of the
blacks among the people, that when they as
semble at the next meeting Of the Legisla-
turc they may be able to represent the true
feelings of the people on this important ques-
ton, for we have no doubt some legislation
will be taken for the advancement of the
black population Of the State. We will refer
to this subject again soon.

Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad.

From the notice which appeared in our
paper, calling meeting Of the Directors of
the above named railroad and from the arti-
cles which have at various times appeared in
our columns it would naturally appear, to
those outside that some definite action would
have been taken by the Directors so assem-
bled. We are sorry to say that quorum Of
directors could not be had some of them hay
ing died since the last election, and others
being absent from the State. What few did
attend, manifested the right spirit, and were
of the determination that the road should be
built and will use their utmost endeavors to
that end. We arc informed that the untiring
cXertions of those who attended the meeting,
will be given to the future prosecution of the
work in hand. The best feeling was enter
tanned by all The company, at this time, Ia
bors under great embarrassment in thissre-
spect, VIZ, that all and everything in the Of
flee of the Company, Maps Books including
the Stock Book, profile of the survey made by
Capt. Barry, &C.; in short, all and everything
belonging to and appertaining to the office,
was destroyed or carried off, after the. occu-
patton of this place by the Federal army. We
are of the opinion, no wever, that many of the
books and other effects of the Office may yet
be recovered; and in that view we learn that
the executive committee have appointed an
agent, whose duty will be to examine into and
look after all the missing gproperty of the COM
pany, and to gather and enlbody all facts, in
relation thereto, and make reports to the COM
pany, and to the next Legislature. We have
no doubt from what WE learn that 1t was the
determination of the directors who owere pres
ent, that such steps should be speedily taken
as would ensure the building of the road.
Fort Smith, Van Buren,, Little Rock, Mem
phis and all intervening points, must be up
and doing. Every citizen, at least of West
ern Arkansas, has an interest in this matter.
The question to them Is shall we lay DOR
nmnt, and be cut off from all Railroad con-
nections, or shall we awake to the vital inter-
ests at stake? Let all who arc interested
answer.

eB" The Young Ladies of Helena are about
giving series ofconcerts to aid in procuring
funds for the purpose of removing the re-
mains Of Gen. Cleburne to that city, and to
erect a monument to his memory. We are
glad to hear this. In relation to this subject,
our friend DENTON, of the Des Arc Crescent,
says:
"This is noble undertaking, and will be
cheerfully endorsed by every southern heart.
1t seems emlnently appropriate that this dis
tinguished military chieftan should repose
in the arms OF his adopted state. The tocsin
of war called him from civil life; he advanc-
ed with incredible swftness to the dizzy pin
naclc of martial fame; and when the clear
light of his genius was Illuminating Ameri-
can and foreign skies, +" he ceased alike to la
Dor and to live" He was the incarnation Of
honor and the synonym Of bravery. His
name will dwell upon the lips of men as long
as long as scrap of paper can be found on
which to preserve the scantiest record of he
roism. Peace be to his ashes. May the sweet
est flowers decorate his grave, and send up
tAeir perfume to heaven as memorial of his
WORTH"
