LITTLE Rock AND FoRT SMITH RAIL.
ROAD Work is still progressing on this
road with an energy Of purpose that
promises the speedy completion of the
enterprise. The corps of engineers, with
Gen. Meade as chief, assisted by Mr..
Henry West and Mr.. George w. Hughes,
are beyond Russelville, making good pro
gress in selecting the route
The cutting out of the first twenty
miles is about completed, and the entire
force will now be employed in getting
out cross ties-a work that it is very de-
sirablc should be accomplished before the
timber that has been cut away becomes
seasoned, This done, the balance Of the
work necessary to prepare the first sec
ton for the iron is comparatively easy.
The first lG miles requires little or no
grading, and will be rapidly built. Be
sides this there is one bridge of 100 feet
and two 2S-feet cuts-one 200 feet long
and the other much less. Altogether this
section presents no obstacles worth men
tioning and will soon be in readiness for
the track and the locomotive:

Exploded.

The trip of Col GUNTER, of Fayette-
vile, to Saint Louis, with ore from the
Benton county silver mines, and the re-
port he makes of its analization, will
be very apt to explode the great excite
ment created by the exaggerated reports
set aaoat probably by designing men on
this subject. This is what the Fayette-
vile Democrat says:
SILVER MINEs.-We have received from
Col. Gunter the report OF DR.. Curtman,
Chemist of Saint Louis, who made test
of the ore presented to him from Silver
Springs on Hickory Creek, who states
that he is not able to find any trace OF
silver in the ore he analyzed. The ore
Colonel Gunter had tested is the same
that the metal was melted from and sen'
to Mr.. Sander, Chemist of Saint Louis
who pronounced it silver and copper, but
mostly silver. SO Chemists differ as wei
as Doctors.

NS- The citizens of Fort Smith are agi-
tating the question of a" Fourth of July
celebration" IL is well enough, if the
people can enter into the spirit of the oc-
casion, to give vent to their feelings on
these occasions But we opine that the
Southern people generally, are not in
cincd under present circumstances to en-
ter in very heartily to sham celebrations
of their independence. When our white
people become frecmen, then it will be
time enough to agitate such celebra-
tons. However, it is all matter of
taste.

TROUBLES AT EyASsyILLE--lt becomes
our painful duty to chronicle another,
which transpired at Evansville, in this
county, on June ID, 1869, growing out
of the difficulties between the Fishers and
Shannons. 1t seems that about o'clock,
on Wednesday morning, June 2d, rs
Noah Fitzwatcr and Newton Stout, friends
of the Shannons, were passing down the
street in Evansville, they were fred upon
by the Fisher party, five in number, from
ambush, instantly killing Fitzwaters, and
seriously wounding Stout, who has since
died.
1t IL earnestly hoped that the officers
Of the law will take the matter in hand,
and that justice may be meted to the gull
ty parties.
We understand that the Fisher party
swear that they will kill Charlie Strick,
land, Bud and JEFF Gilliland and every
other man that ever took up arms against
them, most particularly those who fol-
lowed them to Texas. How long shall
these men be permitted to commit such
hellish deeds f--F'ays1erile Democrat,
ION.
A communication in the Fort Smith
Herald, would indicate that the blame is
not all attached to the Fisher side.

Speech of MIR. Morrill,.

Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont. Mr.. President:
The resolutions of the Legislature of the State
of Vermont, / believe, only express the
opinions of some of the ripest statesmen of
the country in times past and the present
sentiments OF the agriculturists of nearly the
entire nation.
1 have sought the opportunity to submit
some remarks upon the reference of these
resolutions for the same reason that most
likely induced the action of the Legislature
of Vermont, because of disposition mani
tested in some quarters-I hope it may be
limited-to revive an unfortunate example
in our history of negotiating more of that
class of treaties, sometimes called reciprocity
treaties, whereby our foreign trade is to be
regulated by treaty instead of being regula-
ted by the usual and accustomed laws of
Congress-believing as do, that such trea-
ties are contrary to the practice of the Gov
ernment, contrary to the Constitution, and
contrary to the interests of the whole country
Such treaty, if made, has to be first consid-
erered in secret session of the Senate, and
the people at large have no light or knowl-
edge touching the nature of the treaty ITSELF
nor OF the facts or arguments which are sup
posed to control the action of the Senate,
until that action becomes irrevocable, and
the only debate in public is when the action
of both Houses of Congress happens to be
required by the treaty to modify the revenue
laws according to the terms proposed. AT
such late period, the treaty having been
made by the Executive, and by the consent
of the Senate, it is altogether too late to con-
slider its merits exclusively, and to the House
only the poor privilege remains of pairing
and clipping the revenue laws, upon the
compulsory argument of necessity, TO make
them conform TO the new treaty. The un-
biased opinion of the House is ont of the
question. 1t has been forestalled Upon a
subject where the House of Representatives
is entitled to have the initiative, or the para
mount lead, it is forced to accept of a subor-
dinate position and resign some share of the
functions conferred by the Constitution in
that provision of article one, section seven,
