We again extract from the JPhHe Ric-
er Journal, a Republican paper. At this
time to more particularly show, of what
stuff our Supreme Bench is composed of.
A man not fit for suffers position in
the Federal army, dishing out law to the
people of Arkansas. The Journal says j:
STILL COMPLIMENTARY. = The Little
Rock Morning Republican Of Saturday,
contains most outrageous personal at
tack on the editor of this paper. Hav-
ing twice attacked him for his friendly
sentiments to the southern people, it re-
mained for them to attempt to impugn
his character as a soldier and his motives
as a man, in order to break down and de-
stroy his influence 1t matters little what
men who like the author, ("Judge Nc
CLURE of the Supreme Bench " says con
corning us or any other respectable man.
He has been sunk too low in infamy to
do any particular damage where he is
known. Dismissed the service for play.
ing cards with enlisted men, and known
as notorious black-leg, he found his
way to Arkansas, and knowing even less
of law than he does of morals, he be.
came the fit tool and instrument for the
dirty work that was necessary to be done
in order to achieve the success of his
party in the State. Not only proposing
to throw registration books and papers
into the river, but to inaugurate strife
and bloodshed if necessary, as it was
done, to carry out the programme. So
far as we are concerned we care not eth
CT for his hate or malignity, but when he
strikes at our people we shall come al
him to the quick, and let the world know
the arrant coward and knave no is

General once told us that Mcclure appli

would not give it to him for fear Of his

are many other charges that can bt

the Republican has muttercd when W.

wards the people. In its most radica
and palmy days it was not half SO bite
as now. 1t has forgotten how it once
spoke against marshal la~ and denounc
ed the acts Of the present administration
as usurpotioas in office. 1t has forgotten
that every prominent Republican journa
in the country stands on universal suf
frage platform. 1t has forgotten that al

that the preponderance Of crime is to-da.
