EF' One of the most brilliant we'd
dings that has taken place in Van Buren,,
in many day, was witnessed on Tues
day evening last. The occasion was the
marriage of Mr.. +. NJ. NEAL and Miss
KATE BEARprN. The ceremony was per
formed at the Presbyterian Church, by
the Rev. Mr.. Roberts, about o'clock
witnessed by crowded church, compos-
ed of the beauty and gallantry of our
city. To describe the bridal outfit would
be out of the qucstion-all were dressed
elegantly and looked lovely. After the
ceremony at the Church, all that desired
proceeded to the residence Of the brides
mother, where music and dancing to L
late hour and magnificent supper
wound up the setting out in life of the
young couple.

The First Congressional District.

The I" Veg Paper, published at Clar-
endon, Arkansas, and which is Liberal
Republican in politics, has the following
article on the question of successor of
Congressman Roots in that District:
We have noticed in several exchanges,
articles regarding successor to our pres
ont, so called, member of Congress, the
Hon. l.. H. Roots. SiGce the breaking
ont of the war this district has becn with
out a representative. 1t is well known
that Mr.. Roots obtained his first nomi-
nation by his party, from AN unauthor
lied source, and had no opposition what
ever; and that in this second campaign
he was beaten by more than 1900 ma
jority, which fact was generally admitted
by his friends and supporters. He,h how
ever, unhlushingly claims to be a repre-
sentative of the people, and occupies n
seat in Congress which, by every princi-
pie of law, honor and justice, rightly be
longs to another. The fact is that neither
party wanted Roots or Cameron, but
were forced to yield an unwilling sup
port.
State developments prove beyond a
doubt that it is the policy of the Radical
party in this State to carry the next cleo
ton by erery artifce and .fraad hitherto
praetieed By them, and that there is scarce
ly man of sufficient prominence or
ability who can be made available in the
Democratic party as a candidate. There
is but one course to pursue, and that is
for the Democratic and Liberal Republi-
cans to uniteiin solid front against the
present Radical usurpers. We know the
Liberal Republicans will not vote with
the Radicals. We do not know what can
be done in other districts; but we are
fully satisfied that III this district, with a
suitable candidate, they can elect their
ticket by an overwhelming majority If
such candidate can be found whom the
people can trust, one who has proved
himself their friend by contending for
their rights, whose past record cannot be
used either to disfranchise or throw him
out of office, let him receive the support
of all good and true men who desire to
rid themselves of Radical rule. We are
tired of the farce of electing men to Of
fec only to have them kicked out. If we
follow the example of Tennessee, we may
at least rid ourselves of the most corrupt
and unworthy set of public officials that
ever disgraced people.

Dogs and Tax,

The owners of Dogs of all classes, are
directed to the fact that the Tax of One
Dollar is now due. We are requested by
the City .Marshal to give notice, that on
and after the lst day of June, 1870, he
will proceed to kill all Dogs that has not

qured by the law. All interested will
call on the Recorder and Register at

each Dog to ware a collar and tag with
the number attached. No one that has a
good dog will object to paying one dol
lar tax and assist the Marshal in his
work, every one should come forward at
once and Register.
