THE SITUATION.

The Radicals of the Sd Congressional
District and the Sth Senatorial District,
were occupied the most of last week at
Fort Smith in making nominations for
Congress and for Representatives to the
Legislaiure.'
Two candidates were nominated foI
C9ngrsss, both protesting extreme radi-
cal doctrines Judge f. ]. SEARLE, rep
resenting Gov. Clayton and his friends
on the one side; and Hon Tnos. DoLEs,
the present member, representing Hon.
Ak Mcdonald and Rev. Jos Brooks, on
the other side.
The fight was bitter and uncompromis-
ing, and determination on the part OF
both parties evinced, to prosecute the
canvass to the end under the leadership
of Clayton and Brooks, no matter what
the result may be. We have not room
for comments at this time, it is enough
for conservative men to know that the
suIit Is Nluc anu uuIcCpHCllaDic.
The Senatorial Delegates, also held two
separate Conventions, and nominated
two sets of candidates for the Legisla
turs, az follows:
sEARLE WING
Crawford Co,--J. p. Grady and JOIN
r. Meadows.
Franklin Co. - Abernathy.
Sebastian Co.-Jacob Schnider.
BoLEs WING.
Crawford Co.-John c. Pritchard.
Franklin Co. - Abelnathy,
Sebastian Co.---Bury Stevens, and G
L. Rutherford, colored.
This is fight that the Conscrvativ,
and Democratic masses of the peopl.
have nothing to do with. They will il
good time bring out suitable candidates
that will we trust command the suppor
of all good men Of all parties. We shal
not NEEDLE, either way, in the quarre
now going on, but shall endeavor to Civ,

Dragging the judicial Ermin In the Mire

We understand that two Judges Of the
Supreme Court Of Arkansas, were dele
gates to the Radical Convention at Fort
Smith, and active as well as Inscriptions
participants in its deliberations There
was time, and that time not very distant
in the past, when such exhibitions of
ofhigh judicial officers would have been
regarded as extremely unbecoming, if
not disreputable. And even now, in these
times ofpolitical and judicial degeneracy,
right thinking men are shocked and NOR
tilted at these exhibitions. The judiciary
was once learned and digniGed, spotless
and noted for its love of justice but
alas, how fallen now The highest 20
sitions in the State, that ought to be o.
dorned by learning, virtue, character and
lofty independence, how dishonored by
the incumbents, and the pure ormine OF
justice how it trails in the mire and filth
