Governor Jas. E. English.

This gallant Democrat has again been
placed at the head of the ticket of his
party in Connecticut for re election Not
withstanding Governor English had ex-
pressed a desire to give away and retire
to the ranks of the party, the unanimous
voice of the State Convention WAS tina,
he must again, at the head, lead them on
to victory, which wefeel he will sssuredly
do on the first Monday Of April next
The proposed Constitutional amendment,
must necessarily enter largely into the
canvass in that State this spring. II will
remain to be seen whether the old Com
monwealth Connecticut will set quietly
down and have negro suffrage forced up
on her after having repeatedly, and very
recently too, refused by q decided major
ity to engraft the negro suffrage clause
upon her statute books. We hope to
hear good report from the old State in
April next, not only in the election Of her
State officers, but in securing her Con
gressiond Delegation and also, ma
jority of the Assembly. Let the gallant
Democracy of Connecticut do its duty
aud all will be well.

over the list of clergymcn, now serving

who will better Gil or more worthily be.

welcome him as their new Bishop.

Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
The Editor Of the Little Rock Gasett.

The Editor OF the Little Rock Gazette
has made visit to the camp OF the En-
gincer of this road The work is pro-
crossing and every body on its line looks
happy We make the following extract
from his article of observations, under
date of the 10th:
1--WE have to thank Mr. Mead for an
invitation to visit him in the camp OF the
engineering party which, went out some
days ago, to do the work Of locating the
Little Rock and Fort Smith Road The
camp at present is eight or ten miles from
here on the line OF the preparatory sur
yey. He informs us that eight miles Of
the road have been located, contracts
taken and the work Of construction is
ready 10 be, or has already been, COM
menced. The grant of lands, TO this
road. the most mumiiicent, perhaps, ever
granted to any road, except the Great
Northern Pacific, requires certain mum
Der of miles to be completed within a
given time or il will be forfeited The
means of the contractors engaged are
ample, he time is sufficient and by the
middle of summer the iron horse will be
carrying burdens beyond the Palarm, and
As il will be to the interest Of the Com
pany to finish the Road as soon as posi-
BILE after it has been begun, we may rea-
sonably hope in a very short time for the
completion Of so formidable an under
taking, to be in communication with the
Indian Country, and inviting trade for
this place and Memphis, from the popu-
lous aud fertile northwest which has
heretofore been enjoyed exclusively by

GF- The Fort Smith New Fra, in its
issue Of the 18th, says that bill has
been introduced in Congress to make
Van Buren, the turmnus of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith Railroad This is
the first ntimation, we have ever heard
Of any such project. The opposition OF
the "North side to Fort Smith, is all
imaginary. If, instead of sitting down
and grumbling at what they cannot avoid
1.-THE road being built on the north side)
they would 20 to workto help themselves
and reap the advantages Of the road as il
is. they would feel much better and their
improbable forebodings, be gone at once.
We have had no little compensation with
the gentlemen having the work in hand
and they have always expressed it the
intention Of the company to build the
road to Fort Smith. If il is not, il will
be because of the ceaseless and dogmati.
cal opposition Of the people of that city,
and they will have no one to blame but
themselves

Public Printer-Price thown over

The Arkansas House Of Representatives
on the 18th inst, passed the Senate bill
removing john G. Price as public prin-
ter. 1t will be recollccted that Mr. Price
is Speaker Of the House d. ii. Dlvu-
Bliss, from this county, figures conspicu-
ously. He claims that PRICE, tried to Sc
duce him from the path Of honor, and
rectitude He will make a few extracts
from the proceedings on this question,
and will try next week to give the whole
Hall asked that the testimony of Divel-
bliss be read to the House before a vote
was taken. Divilbiss' evidence was read
to effect that Price IN The presence o.
Guntter desired him to assist in having
Senate bill under discussion referred to
standing committee printing, and Price
would recommend him forposition to the
authorities at Washington, and relieve
him in any way financially, if he was
pressed, and that his object was to build
a third party" in Arkansas.
Brashear asked for the reading of the
testimony of Gunther.
Gunther did not rccollect any converse
ton of Price on public printing with Di-
vilbiss in his presence Had never heard
any propositions of undue influence
Would knock the man down that would
make such proposition to him. lie had
not been bought yet, and hoped he never
would be for sale
| Price on the floor, wished to state be-
fore the vote was taken that he had never
had the conversation with Divilbiss, but
that Divibiss, i'll conversation with him
on the subject of the bill then before the
Senate to rescind the contract, had told
! him he was looking for public position
and was afraid to vote against the bill, as
it might injurc him that the position was
siaaassa,,, l.i... bee not IN Il fiuaIi-
cial condition to do without position. He
price in reply had said that so far as
his chances for public position would be
affected he could exert some influence to
eounteract any that would injure him at
Washington. and financially he was not
in the habit of seeing friend suffer for
ANY little assistance when he could Offer
it, Divilbise asked of Price if he had not
stated his intention of building up third
party and chat this party could not stand
two years. Price answered that he had
not ana called on Gunther GuntheI
stated that Price had said something
about the necessity of a change in party

not hear Gunther distinctly ON the oppo-
Site side of the hall amidst laughter.

Universal Suffrage.

The following is the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, as passed by the Senate 1t went
to the House, which refused to concur,
and a committee of conference was APP
pointed and they viii undoubtedly com
promise on something similar. The
Southern Senators and Members all vote
for it, on the plea probably, that what
is "sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander:'
Be ii resolued By the Senate and House
Of Representatives, twO-thirdS Of both
Houses concurring, That the following
articles be proposed to the Legislatures
of the several States as an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
either of which, when ratified by three
fourths of said Legislatures, shall be held
as part of said Constitution.
ARTICLE l5 No discrimination shall
be made in the United States among the
citizens of the United States in the exer-
else Of the elective franchise, or in the
right to hold Office, in any State on ac-
count of race, color, nativity, property,
education or creed
ART l6. The second clause of the first
section Of the ID article of the Constitu-
ton of the United States shall be amend
ed to read as follows
Each State shall appoint, by vote, for
Representatives in Congress, the number
of electors equal to the whole number OF
Senators and Representatives to which
said State shall be entitled in Congress,
but no Senator or Repl esentativc, or per
son holding an office of trust or profit
under the United States shall be appoint
ed an elector; AMI Congress shall nave
power to prescribe the manner in which
said electors shall be chosen by the peo-
pie.

DEAR DUNLAP
The Democratic Convention to make
up State ticket has been holden, and
the old ticket headed by Governor j. +.
ENGLISH has again been put in nomina-
ton. II is proved to have been a strong
ticket and if the party is faithful and do
their duty there is little doubt of its sue
cess, but as you well know there are a
variety OF influences brought to bear IN
our elections which renders the ticket
doubtful. The bond holders and the
manufacturing interest will do all in their
power to defeat the Democracy. The
bond holders ae afraid that the interest
and principal of their bonds will be paid
in the currency established by the gov
eminent a. they should be, and the man
ufaeturers are afraid that their interests
will not be promoted by protective tar
if as they should not be- Thus you see
in New England our elections are not
governed by patriotic principles. If our
voters we're governed by their convictions
of right and duty there would be little
difficulty in the way of the success Of the
Democratic party, but such is not the
case Oar greatest contest will be over
member of Congress. The Democratic
members from this State being largely
engaged in other business matters, and
as Congress g. at present constituted
they feel averl to denomination. They
have the confidence of their constituents
and if renominated would undoubtedly be
reelected 1t has been remarked " it is
not safe to swop horses while crossing a
stream but w may be compelled to do
so, and the result is oi course somewhat
doubtful Our present Democratic dele
cation are strong Union men and in favor
of restoring to the South their rights if
they had the power to do so, but there is
little prospect of this till the intelligent
men Of the South can be enfranchised.
When this will be done is still somewhat
in doubt Yours, w.
