LITTLE Times. The preciousness
Of little things was never more beautiful
ly expressed than in the following NOR
ceou by B. F. Taylor:
Little martin boxes Of homes are gen
orally the most happy and cozy; little
villages are nearer to being atoms Of a
shattered paradise than anything we know
of; and little fortunes bring the most
content and little hopes the least disap-
pointments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear
little charities fly furthest and stay long
est on the wing; little lakes are the still
est, little hearts the fullest and little
farms the best TILED Little books are
the most read, and little songs the most
loved. And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful,
she makes it little--lttle pearls, little
diamonds, little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they
love best on earth. We once heard q
good sort of a man speak of his little
wife, and we fancied that she must be a
perfect little byoa Of wife We saw her,
and she weighed 2I0; we were surprised
But then it was no joke; the man meant
it. lie could put his wife in his heart
and have room for other things beside ;
and what was she but precious, and what
was she but little?
hpttam IN parro-much in little-is
the great beautify Of all we love best,
hope for most and remember the long

Central Pacific Railroad.

We are glad to see our neighbor Wheeler
even at this late day, advocating the policy of
the citizens of Fort Smith, taking stock In the
Central Pacific Railroad. We suppose it is
pretty generally known, that the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company, isa consolidation of
the Memphis & Little Rock and Little Rock
Il Memphis Railroads; and we are sorry to
say that according to our information, but
one citizen Of Fort Smith, ever took any stock
in the Road. that Is, In the L. r. 4 F. S, Road.
As We are informed the Consolidated Compa-
MES. forming the Central Pacific Railroad, are
not calling for subscriptions, and in fact do
not at this time desire it. Our neighbor of
Fort Smith, should have subscribed to the
stock of the l.. r. 4 +. $. Road, when It was
needed. 1t Is rather late to howl over It now,
or try to make capital of 1t, the time has gone
by-they should have assisted, when assist
ance was required.
We may have, hereafter, to say something
more shout another plain duty.

The Maryland Conservative Con-
Vention, now in session at Anna polls,
is endeavoring to so patch up the con
stitution as to put the State back un-
der the control Of rebels. The con
veDtion was called in defiance of the
constitution and at the behest of less
than one-third of the white voters.
Judge Carmichael, the presiding Off
Ger, is a bitter disloyalist, and was con-
fined in Fort McHenry during the war
for reasonable practices. The dele
gates are mostly secessionists, and
many eff them are notorious for their
opposition to the Union. Ex-Mayor
of Baltimore, and Ex-Speaker Kel-
bourn, both members, were arrested
by order of General Mcclellan, and
confined in Fortress Monroe. The
oath of installation was administered
to the delegates by Judge Magruder,
who stands indicted fer violation and
defiance of the laws of the United
States. The present constitution was
framed by loyal citizens, and during
the war kept the State under loyal
control. What improvement" will
be made in it by such a convention as
above described may easily be fore
seen.

JEFF. Davis And when Davis was

was shut up in Fortress Monroe, the

nation and the whole world would
have beheld the Southern Confederacy
dangling between heaven and earth.
And had Davis been put in a traitors

ceived that ignominy and oblivion.
But no such exemplary spectacle
has been presented. We have as much
said to all the world that a man may
organize and for four years manage a

then, when captured go unwhipt of

Somebody ought to be held respon-

so the risk Of the most summary and

The Cincinnati Commercial holds
that the suffrage amendment viii dis
franchise an indefinite number Of sol
diers who are charged on the Provost
Marshal's books with desertion. Also,
that when the votes of the soldiers are
challenged the burden Of proof viii
be upon them to show their innocence.
Now the Commercial charges the edi-
tor Of the Enquirer with being an idO-
OF, and by the laws of this State idiots
oannotvote. a charge ofidotcy ought
to be as satisfactory proof Of the fact
as a charge Of desertion, and if she
Commercials theory is true, any one
may easily disfranchise the editor of
the Enquirer at the next election by
producing a copy of the ConsuerciaI,
containing the charge against him, and
thus compelling him to show that he
is not an idiot, a thing he might find it
very difficult to do. Still the EHgutr-
en- man would not be without redress,
for he may, in turn, easily charge the
editor Of the Commercial with being
an idiot, and by producing on election
day a copy of the Enquirer containing
the charge, compel him before voting,
to show that he is not an idiot, a task
he might find extremely difficult In
both these cases the copy of the news
paper containing the charge would be
quite as good evidence of the fact
charged as would the original records
Of the Provost Marshal of the charges

Gov. Perry viii not be oomfoEted.

how it is possible to get quite rid of
them. Only Mr.. JohnsOn,s half dozen

contrary; and they, too, are momentar-

many regrets expressed in that section
at the failure of the South to accept

that these regrets are always accom-
panied by the statement that the re-
lection took place at the instance of
the Northern Democrats and especially
of President johnson. He continues: /:
One of the leading politicians of the
old regime told me yesterday that If it
had't been for Northern Democrats
and the President, Georgia would have
ratified that amendment, and thought
herself lucky in getting off SO easy

THE SOUR APPLE TREE COMEDY

THE SOUR APPLE TREE COMEDY
A few days ago three men were hung
in Cincinnati for numbering and rob-
bing man named Hughes. To-day
we have information that JEFF. Davis
the head and front of rebellion which
slaughtered 100000 of the best and
bravest of the land, and robbed the
country of about four billions of dol
lars, has just been set at liberty upon
condition Of re-arraignment, but with
moral certainty of acquittal. Such is
the unevenness of the balance held by
human justice, circumstance which
might be indiferently passed to the
score of human imperfection but that
the honor and safety of the nation are
involved.
It was not public vengeance that de-
manded the death JEFF. Davis, but ma
tional honor insulted, national author
ity resisted, national safety betrayed.
The crime of the chief traitor was so
infamous and so stupendous that it
seemed 10 compass the widest reach Of
human guilt, and deserve the swiftest
and severest of human punishments.
His individual crime was not, perhaps
greater than that of many of his con-
freres in treason, but he chose to be
the chief leader and exponent of the
rebellion, and to take upon himself
the responsibility of its aggregate guilt.
During the closing years of the war,
especially, the brains and the soul of
the rebellion were concentred in
himself. Rebels aud loyalists alike
regarded Davis as the main prop Of the
Confederate cause. and had he been
stricken down, it is quite certain that
cause would have fallen with him. The
morning the news of Lees surrender
reached Sherman, rebel woman, with
the utmost seriousness remarked to
