EE Another of the Little Rock Gdz
ehe's progenies fell still born at Darda
nellie on the 18th. Its not very pleasant
for the country people of this District, tc
be dancing up and down, hither ant
thither to the beck and nod of such tri
fling and trimming political leaders. Fol
our own part we wash our hands off al
such proceedings as was had at Darda
nellie. We have no candidate, and have
no particular preference for any man
only that he is a good one--but we die
mud do want standard bearer n leader
who in the demoralized state ofthc Radi
cal party would successfully lead us tc
victory.
We still hope that the good sense ofth'
masses Of the Conservative voters, vii
yet see the necessity of uniting on ont
man before it is too late to make thor
ough canvass of the District.
The Van Buren press., 1870-09-20


able speech gave the most thorough sat
isfaction and at its conclusion the follow
ing resolutions were had and unanimous
ly adopted.
We, the people of Crawford county, in Con-
vcntion assembled ithout regard TO past OF
present political opinions, do declare the ac-
complishment of The following objects to be
Il paramount importance:
First, Recognizing the present status of the
colored race as being irreyocably fixed a.
well by the organic law of the state of Ar
kansas rs by the Constitution of the United
states, We earnestly insist that all disabilities
OF every kind shall be, as speedilyas possible,
removed from the disfIanclised portion OF
our people, and they restored to all the rights,
privileges and immuniteS of other citizens.
Second. Fully appreeiating the 0nerous and
burdensome taxation imposed upon the peo-
people for the support OF useless officials, and
the payment OF enormous salaries, we desire
the immediate abolition of all useless offices,
and the reduction Of all salaries to n fair and
reasonable amount,
Third, While we cannot too highly estimate
the great and growing Importance of well
regulated system of free common schools for
the education of our children, we are, never
theless, in favor OF such a reformation of the
present school laws as viii secure the applica-
ton Of the taxes imposed for their mainten-
anCe to the accomplishments OF that object in
stead OF going into the pockets of high sala-
ried District Superintendents.
Fourth We demand a strict, rigid, and Geo.
nominal administration of every branch and
department of the State Government; and
| that no more taxes shall be levied than will
| be sufficient to sustain the same.
/ Fifth, Deprecatng the evil and corrupting
! tendency Of almost limitless Executive pat
ronage in the appointment of State and Coun-
! ty officials, and holding that incumbents OF
public offices are the servants of the people
and that they should, therefore, be directly
answerablc TO them, we declare that all officers
should be filled by election OF the peoplc,Hr
by their chosen representatt es.
Sixth, We will support no one for any Leg
ialative position who does not freely and co
daily endorse the foregoing propositions
and we cordially and earnestly invite all
persons who do, without regard to race color
or previous condition, to mite with us in an
earnest effort to accomplish the same.

1t is true as was reported that they did
get part Of the money from the Sheriff
Of this county, but he don't handle coun

"Pig or Puppy Mot Pig but very
silly Puppy.

The Delegates from this County to the
Dardanelle Convention, bring the inform
alton that the Honorable { y T. BoLEs
made a speech last week, during the sit
ting of the convention, wherein he stated
that he chad never endorsed q Unvers
al Suffrage Resolution-that he had dnever
heard or read the Resolutions of the
Crawford County Convention that were
published, until they were in print and
that the resolutions read in the Conven-
ton were not the same that were publish
ed.",
Thus speaks the man, who, as hundred
Of citizens Of Crawford County can testi-
fy, did at Oliver Springs, July 3oth, de
clare that he "most heartily endorsed
every action of the Convention which
declaration was made after resolutions
demanding Universal Suffrage had been
adop.cd by the convention which reso-
luiions as adopted are iden.ically the
some as they were published in the Press,
the Nep Era, and Dardanelle Times
Not only did this Bolcs endorse the re
solutions in his speech to the convention
but he has since, repeatedly declared to
most respectable citizens and unwaverine
Republicans that he intended giving then
a hearty support. And yet, at this late
day, fearing to disoboy the orders of his
owners-Brooks and Hodges--he comes
forward with falsehood denies the al
legation Of one-third Of our people that
he ever declared he was for the Right
The climax Of political mendacity has
been attained by this person, who had h,
only prossesed the most ordinary sagaci
ty would have seen that his declaration:
for Universal Liberty would have gaine(
him enough Of the votes Of previous po
ltical opponents to have secured his re
election. But the trite saw that a foo
needs only sufficient quantity of hcml
to insure bis own hanging, is verified by
Mr.. Boles, who has removed all doubts
as TO his assinine characteristics by this
recent speech.

Hon. j. B. G. Turman, President of thu

cans, can be readily furnished to prove
that when Boles declares he did not en-
dorse the Resolutions of Universal Sut.
fragc, adopted at the Crawford County

A COMET IN SIGHT AND NEARING.-W in.
necke's comet is approaching the earth. 1t
was seen on the night of the goth OF June,
by Prof c. II F. Peters, of Hamilton col
lege, \ u, in the constellation Pisces. 1t
is visible through telescope of small power
IN the early morning, Prof Peters says:
"Ou The whole globular in shape there is
dilation or expansion on the side from the
sun, which makes the form more like that
of an egg. But the most remarkable sp-
pears the internal structure of the comet
Without distinct stellar center, there lie q
concentration of light exactly as in certain
nebulH that have been found to consist of
umberless small stars.-The comet upon
my eye has precisely the same impression
as one of the nebula, when on the point of
resolvsbility-a sort Of twinking OF count
less bright dots.-Its low attitude, however,
at the break of day, forbade to US with ad-
vantage higher power for separating the
components. Since we know now the con-
nection of meteoric showers observations
made seem interesting

Decadence OF the Grain Trade at Chicago.

Deoadence OF the Grain Trade at Chicago.
1t is not improbable their is a storm brew
ing In connection with the grain trade OF
Chicago. Business men outside of the
grain dealing community ere at last getting
awakened to the fact that the trade of Chi
csgo is being driven away BY The course
pursued by the elevator proprietors, who
can well afford to have the trade of the
whole city suffer if, individually, they can
get rich by permitting the grain committed
to their care to lose its character. Is does
not take any very intricate arithmetIcal cal
culation to show that II a msn is continually
bying at the price of damaged grain, and
selling at the price of sound grain. he can,
by moderate degree of industry, make
money enough in Il few years to be unc0n-
cerned rs to whether Chicago loses its gen.
eral trade or not The grain trade made
Chicago what it Is, the marketing of grain
here is the basis of all other business, and,
lust in proportion as IL is driven sway, the
foundation upon which all this superstruct-
ure of other business rests will slide from
under it. Merchants sales will decrease,
real estate will decline, building will stop.
population will diminish, and Chicago will
fall behind some rival where the bushes is
conducted on an honester plan. II this is to
be prevented, it will require something more
than newspaper commentto do it. Ii will
be necessary for the business men and prop
ertY owners to take some steps TO protect
their own interests, for they are the ones
who will suffer the most by the course trade
Is taking now.
