For the years marked thus ~, when there
was dissenson in the Democratic ranks, the
total opposition vote Is included under the head
of Democratic, and the lowest Republican pIu-
rality Is given. The vote for 1867 marked thus
Cd, Is that cast for Lieutenant Governor. For
Governor the vote then stood DO, 1859 Republi-
can, and total opposition 81 ,993 Governor
Hsights vote being 49,905, and his majority
9546. This was caused by the strong opposl-
ton of all the leading Republican journals to
the nomination and election of George G. Cor
ham, now Secretary of the Senate, the nominal
Republican candidate, against whom there was
manifested an uncomfortable prejudice in
the ranks of his party. In 1868 it will be
observed that the Republicans carried the State
for President by the bare majority of 514 votes,
while the aggregate vote for members of Con-
gress the same year showed Democratic majo-
rity of 675. In 1869 the only election held was
that for Judges, which never takes place at the
time for holding the ordinary political elections,
and the vote polled was so small-aggregating
only 81, 7,628-that 1t is of no significance. The
Republicans staid at home on the occasion, aud
the Democrats elected all their candidates, one
of those for the Supreme Court having a majo-
rty of $685. and the other 10 292. The Legisla-
ture elected last year stood as tollows:-

4 Crazy Lord.

Itinerant insane noblemcn are the latest
importations from England. Lord Camp
bell, son of the late English Chancellor, is
now, or was on the twenty-third day OF Au-
gust. an inmate Of lunatic asylum near
Boston. How ne got there is curious
story. On the passage of tue steamer Bris-
tol from New York to Boston, the detective
Of the boat saw man attempting to enter
lady's stateroom in the night. As he was
at part of the boat where men are not al
lowed to be, the detective approached close
| up to the intruder, and, opening his Ian
tern, threw a full blaze of light in his face.
The man sprung upon the detective,
knocked him senseless and then attempted
to throw him overheard, but the policeman,
coming TO, seized his assailant by the
throat, and IN the row that succeeded, the
| passengers were aroused and came forward
to part the Hen. The suspected robber
| was put in irons, and kept there until he
was safely in Boston. In the meantime, it
was discovered that he was Lord Camp
bell, and kilograms being sent TO his friends,
answers came back that hs was subject to
| fits of arrangement. He was then put in
| an insane asylum until his friends could be
| heard from, for the law does not try luna
| ties, except with the greatest care. But
| Boston says that he shall suffer for his as
sault with intent to kill, and that he shall
| be punished either by being sent TO jail or
| to a crazy house. A singular circumstance
connected with the affair was the discovery
| of lady's belt near the door at which the
mailman was attempting his intrusion, and
| the owner OF the belt has never claimed
| it. VIII Boston satisfy us who was the
owner Of the belt, and what means it in
tends 10 adopt to prevent English lords
from itinerating around loose in an insane
| state OF mind.

And now comes Arkansas. and through
her special attorney. the Memphis ippeol
puts in a claim to be recognized as the de-
pository and custodian of the biggest dead
men that have ever been dragged ont OF the
earth in battalions. Bartield IS the post
Office address OF these dead giants, but
Chicasawba is the consecrated spot where
they repose in their ancient graves. Having
been resurrccred to an untimelv inspection
at the hands of certain ditch diggeTs. their
fate viii be committed from duh decay, and
mold 10 ceaseless wandering to and fro in
the earth for the benefit Of men OF about
half their size and stature. Science Will
seize them, and curiosity will hold them in its
hands. They measure from eight to ten feet
in height, and have feet and hands that might
span Tom Thumb. Their skulls are 30 large
that ordinary men slip them over their
heads. Their legs stand six feet high with
out stockings. In the graves from which
these remains were taken it was found that
at the head of every giant an earthen vase
was placed, "a if to pillow the deceased
citizen. On these vases system Of hero
glyphIcs is dlscoverable, which gives eVl-
dence that the giants were not SO averse to
reading and writing as their succe in
Arkansas are, and this dead language sug-
gests by its signs that these dead ancients
had more use for anatomy than TO employ
it for cutting the gizzards out Of their enc
mics.
The astonished and bewildered witness
by whom the Memphis APpea! expects to
substantiate this claim in behalf OF the State
of Arkansas. unfolded no more OF his tale
to his special attorney, and, therefor e, We
can 90 no further into this business to-day.
Chicasawba seems to be a mound or Old In
dian location, about twomles from Barfield
and is twenty feet high. II anybody wants
to buy land in that neighborhood, we are
authorized by the Appeal to say that it IS
beautiful-but the price is not stated.
