CRAIGHEAD ( O | N T \
AND THE IRON MOUNTAIN AND HELENA RAILROAD.

A well informed gentleman, who writes from Jonesboro, Craighead county, says, in recent letter to the Little Rock Republican:
 "If you have space in your paper, say to the enterprising people of Ar kansas that Craighead county is arous- ed to duty by the great stir of her sister counties upon the question of railroads. Seeing the necessity for concert ot action, we the citizens of Craighead, will hold an election on the 18th day of August, 1870, for the purpose of having this county take stock in the Helena and Iron Mountain Railroad, which I am confident will be voted for on that day, and should we succeed i'll having the road built, will be one of the best paying roads in the State.- The Levee or Mississippi River Road, running on a parallel of about sixty miles east, from Memphis to- Cairo, this road would not be effected because the distance of its terminus IS far be- low on the river and extending farther north than does the river road on the other hand the river road would be oi decided aa5ia adyanttaGGee nttaaGeeA t2 Miahy tn3aaand of oehH6SugR, HS E5s or nearly so, in value to build either of said roads in each county where they run. The distance from Helena to St. Louis being by rail about 275 miles, would bring our Nothern friends in winter below ice and in summer below sand bars on the Mississippi river. It would be one of the greatest public thoroughfares in the South or West, and upon a ridge or natural backbone, prepared by God himself, and about 40 miles il length, [. c. Crolie's Ridge. speak flom per sonal knowledge, having been upon it some seventeen years. Three cheers for the Helena and Iron Mountain Railroad, or any other railroad in the State.n

SOUND VIEWS.

The FriaY's Point Delta, recOgniz- ed as the organ of Gov. ALCORN, for Northwestern Mississippi, thus refers to one of the great wrongs and out rages of political practice. We make room for what is said upon the subject the more readily, because in the author of the letter from Helena we recog- nize the reformed opinions of leading Republican of Philips county, who has seen the evils resulting from the odious and irresponsible system Of partizin caucuses and Conventions:
 i" An excellent letter from our patri- otic correspondent at Helena, is crowd ed out for the want of space. But it contains some very serious suggestions in regard to primary Conventions for nominating candidates to be supported by the people for office at the ensuing elections. As they are worthy of Seri- ous consideration, we make the follow ing extracts"
 "These Conventions are open to every sort of intrigue and corruption. Their organization affords no security for the intelligence and purity of its character, which if evil, effectually bars the entrance into public life against the best talent and highest virtue in the country. Yet to such hands the politics of the country are confded. I will say, that these nominating Conventions are bodies un- known to the law. And therefore un- controlled by the law. They are sur rounded by none of the restraints that insure fairness and intelligence, and imposed by the Constitution on the electors. The Conventions are ire sponsible bodies, chosen by no rules save party rules. No law prescribes the numbers or qualifications of the members, or defines their powers and dptleSi dr III!i,,or or appoints the time or place, neglects duty by omitttiifnHgg omfitttiifHgi; tv NO one them. It is not always easy to find out when, or where or how to vote. To Ieay5,a ,tlfSe, e,n ;aprlieotio'a '-----es "0 iiaue
 |" The Conventions meet when and where they please. They not only nominate candidates, but they an nounce doctrines and principles on the most momentous national questions, which are denominated 'platforms.' Their decreeS are of no legal authority, but are still of such force-they must be obeyed, or virtual Acknowledgement. It is so managed that as soon as the lasso IS on you; you must vote for their nominees or not vote at all and vote for all the dogmds of their plat form, or not vote at all.D

W If CLAYTON's visit to Helena is for the purpose, as is believed by many, of strengthening the influence of the insolent Indiana mulatto that he and the Judge of the Circuit Court are endeavoring to thrust upon an un- willing people as an important public officer, he will find, if we mistake not, that whilst he does not advance his own interests, he is likely to make his subordinates more detested than they are now by the better class of our peo- pie whether white, colored, conserva- taye, or republican.
Southern shield., 1870-07-30

(the Indiana mulatto) is expected to celebrate the 4th of July.
 Our people would at all times De nleased to receive a complimentary visit from this high pubic functionary, if he comes for the purpose of inculcat- inc peace, order, and good fellowship. We will welcome him to Philips county if he comes for the purpose of riding over our roads, that he may get information that will warrant him Tn recommending a change for the better in our present defective road laws; or if he comes upon any friendly mission to a county that contributed so much to his election. But if he comes as political empiric, appealing to the passions and prejudices of dlscordanl population, the shorter he makes hlS visit the better it will be for all con cerned.
 It is said that the great question + to be urged upon the Republicans o Phillips county-to test their politlcd faith-"Who are you in facor cf toi United States Senator ?" "fyo' are not with us you cannot go to tn Legislature.n This test of politica faith they will find all independen men, of whatever color, dbhor or covertly advocated by the first ex ecutive officer in the State.
