The Bishop OF LITTLE Rock AT ROM

TnE BISHOP OF LITTLE Rock AT ROME.
The special correspondent of the Bos-
ton Pilot, writing from Rome under date
of February 26, alludes in complimentary
terms of Bishop FITZGERALD as follows !;
Another Bishop from whom great
things are expected is Dr. Fitzgerald of
Little Rock. He comes from a family
which has been distinguished for the mum
ber of able and excellent priests it has
furnished to the church, in Kerry, Ire
land, for the last hundred years. His
superior talents have obtained for him
the unique and almost unprecedented dig.
nifty Of being asked to the Episcopate at
the age of thirty, and from what may
learn in Rome, il would not be matter
of surprise if DIR. Fitzgerald soon ranked
among the most distinguished Bishops o
America. His position is great in tn
Council, and this has led many to thinl
that he may probably be selected to fl
the position of Bishop in one of the great
est dioccses of America. There are prob
ably no younger men sitting in the Coun
Gil rs Bishops than those representing
Amcrica--at least they have the young
est men among them.

"Mr Elias c. Boulinot, of the Chcro-

the revenue laws, had hearing in person
to-day before the house committee on the

Esy- The Weekly Democrat of FayettC

Ey- The Weekly Democrat of Fayettc,
vile comes to us, with subdued effort
to convince us of the utter folly and I'M,
manliness of the course forcshadowed hy
our leader of 22d ult. In the publication
of that article, we were prompted by an
earnest desire to see the State again put
upon living footing. We have fought
too long for Democratic principles to be
foolish about names. Party names, may
do very well and serves to rally the mass
es, but to have party name that carries
power with it, the principles that give
life to the party name, must first triumph.
If our fellow laborcrs of the Democrat
think, for one moment, that we propose
to abandon our faith in the living princi-
pies OF Democracy, we can assure them
they are mistaken. The ISSUES before the
country now, are quite different from the
issues of 1860, or even of 1864. The is
sues, indeed are entirely new. a white
mans Government" was once our watch
word, but we have now Mongrel Gov
ernmcnt, and although our contemporaries
would rather be horse or an ass than a
mule, we can only reply, mule may
think the same way and fail to change his
hybrid condition. The Democracy had
no part or lot in the matter The char
acter of our Government is radically
changed, but the Democracy can say
with clear conscience, "Thou canst not
say / did it. !" Although the mule may
desire to change his negative condition
to one Of a positive character, yet he is {
useful animal and does not refuse to work
He may entertain hope that some day
he may, by a transmigration, become ;
horse or an ass. The mule may aso
have the common sense to know that al
though his condition is not such as he
would like it to be, still he must live and
help his brother mules to live. That to
continue to bray because of his disagree
able condition, will not feed him or make
him or make him horse or an ass In
a word, it would be wiser in him to en-
dcavor, in his humble way to supplant
the horse and ass as they are the authors
of his unpleasant situation

CONNECTICUT!
Democratic Triumph !
JAMES Z. ENGLISH
Elected Governor by over 300 MAG
All Honor to the indomitablc De-
mOcracy.

This noble old Commonwealth, has
again thrown off the shackels Of Radical
Fanaticism and in voice .of thunder
warns the usurpers at Washington to
stay the sacriligious hand, that would
strike at the vtals of free government
and have again elected that firm and
faithful champion of democratic princl-
pies, Ex Governor JAMES +. ENGLISH, by
a majority from eight hundred to thou
sand and have, also, made large gains in
both branches Of the Legislature. Not
withstanding Coy. ENGLISH was elected
two years ago, by larger majority than
now, this is by far the greater victory
as no time in the last fifteen, years have
the Democratic party in Connecticut had
so large representation in the Senate oil
lower House We heartily congratulate
the answering Democracy Of that State
on the brilliant success that has crowned
their efforts in the campaign just passed
through. No State has prouder Demo
cratic record than her.
The Hartford. Conn, fimes, says:
"Enough is known to show that Eng
lish is elected governor by about 1000
majority, and the democrats have proba-
bly, carried the Senate, although the re-
rato,,, hnnns that thnp will still
have control of that body by reduced
majority. AS far as heard from the dem
ocrats have gained in all parts of the
State, their net gain being $3.50 in forty
six towns scattered through six counties.
GOV. Jewell comedies the election of Eng
Dish, and the republicans generally have
concluded to live under democratic ad-
ministraton during the coming year.
The democrats of course, are jubilant.

DEATH OF GEN. ALBERT RUsr.-We are
pained to learn OF the death Of Gen. AL
bert Rust, which occurred at his farm
north Of the river, in this county, on
Monday night last, of inflamation OF the
brain, which originated from an abscess
in the head.
Gen. Rust immigratcd to Arkansas
about the year 1887 He served several
terms in the State Legislature as the Rep
resentative from Union county, and was
Speaker Of the House of Representatives
during one term. He afterwards served
two terms in Congress as the Representa-
tive Of the old second congressional dis
trict During the war he raised regi-
ment of infantry in south Arkansas, for
service in Virginia, which formed part
of the first brigade Of Stoncwall Jackson.
He was succeeded in the command of his
regiment by Col. Manning, upon his ap-
pointment by President Davis as brigadier
general in the Confederate army in 1867.
As brigadier general he held important
command and saw much field service, I'M
der Hindman in Arkansas, and Pember-
ton and Taylor in Mississippi and Lou
isiana
Gen, Rust was life long Democrat.
In the differences Immediately preceding
the war he was Douglass man, and op-
posed secession He was man OF strong
intellect, not much cultivated, but capa-
BILE of maintaining ahigh stand in contro
versy with any individual in our State.
During his entire residence in Arkan-
sas, Gen. Rust engaged in planting, in
which pursuit he was quite successful and
accumulated large fortune, which was
swept away by the war. He removed to
the neighborhood of Little Rock about
1858, and ever afterwards made his home
in Pulaski county. He leaves a widow

needed is to be restored to health, to eff
feet which personal considerations are
discarded. AS State, victory with life
and health, or death political will cnsue
at next November election. 1t will be
extremely Radical, as it now is with the
same men and proscriptive measurcs--or
more so--or it will be truly Republican,
carrying reconstruction reform--pcace,
good will. This result is made clear in
your article. trust there is yet wisdom
and moderation sufficient with the people
to meet the necessity hope we will
have the aid and influence ofthe Govern
or. If so, the work will be easy. Judge
from circumstances he will adhere to "rc-
publicanism" in his movements and asso-
Citations. This will appear important in
order to hold standing in Washington,
There lays the power to build up or de-
stroy. The Democracy would be power
less to make m enterlncc there for good,

sympathy with the Arkansas extreme
Radicals and will not affiliate with them

do so
