The -Jacksonport ARK Statesman says:
''The P~resbytery of Arkansas met in the
Presbyterian church, in our city, pursu-
ant to adjournment, at seven O'Clock P.
M, on Thursday, the 9TH inst. The open
ing sermon was preached at the request
of the Moderator, by the Rev. 5. w, Ds-
Yies, from Marx, V, l, q. After when
the Presbvtery was constituted, with
prayer by Rev. d. C. Boggs, the last Mod
orator present"
The albany IN. " Argus says: New
York city has more Germans than any
CITY in Germany, except two; more Irish
men than Dublin, and more Southerners
than any city in the South, more Oatho-
lies thsn Rome. 1t gives over sooO,VOo an
nuslly to the schools OF interior NeM
York, Its public charities are the pest
and most effective in the world. Yet TO
| support its municipal and State govern
ments, its taxes are less than those OF
Cincinnati or Chicago"
The Laramie (Wyoming) Sentinel IS
kind enough to set this matter right. lT
saws that there is not, to its knowledge,
:" a single woman in the city who is an
advocate of, or a convert to, the doctrine
popularity known as womsn's rights;'
tha " not one of the women who served
as Jurors belongs 10 this Glass;" n this
is the most important of ALI that these
ladies' did not seek the position of jurors,
| and only accepted it with difhdence and
hesitation, doubts and misgivings."
The executive committee of the Ma
tional LOYAL League" met in Baltimore
on Wednesday. The following items of
business give rise to narrowing thoughts;
A committee of three was appointed, con
! sisting of v. Dell, OF Arkansas; w. b.
Stokes. of Tennessee, and W. T. Clark, of
Texas, to wait on the President n Con-
gress on the subject OF the i'll treatment
! Of colored people by the Indians. WI 4.
I Stokes then delivered an address on the
mournful condition Of the loyal men in
Tennessee.
The Nashville Banner, referring to the
catalogue of the pupils of the University
of Virginia for 1S69-70, from finding the
name Of Alexander w. Hope among them,
recalls the fact, and records its gratitude
for it, that the mother of this young man,
the wife Of DR.. Hope, of Alton, Illinois,
| rendered Invaluable and inestimable ser
vices to the Confederate prisoners confined
in the Alton penitentiary during the war.
We Join the Bonner and say, "God bless
her and all that are within her house"
The Washington correspondent of the
/ New York Tribune hopes against hope,
for q rehearing of the Iegal-tender case
by the Supreme Court. He says: lt is
charged by disappointed persons that the
appellants have been satisfied in their
claims in some manner in order to pre-
vent q rehearing OF the legal-tender point,
and a possible reversal of the Courts pre-
vious decision. Many still hope that the
decision in the Hepburn and Griswold
case will not stand as the final decision of

The New York papers tell a good story,
and a true one by the way, about the no
bic conduct of a pOor woman and her son
in saving a railroad train from destruc-
ton recently in New Jersey. On Mon
dav last, as an express train from Cincin-
natl to New York was passing through
New Jersey, the engineer saw on the track
a boy before him waving q yellow hand
kerchief and signaling him to stop. He
whistled down brakes" stopped his
train and on inquiry learned from the boy
that some distance ahead his mother had
seen the track filled up by a large mass
of rock, which had fallen but a few min
utes before. Thus probably hundreds
of lives were saved and much property.
Notwithstanding, there was but one ind
vidual on the train ian officer OF the COM
panY) with soul enough to appreciate the
act and offer any recOnipense, and he only
gave the poor lad a ten dollar bill. That
was the value of the train and its living
freight.
The New York Tribune says: The
Northwest Territory has been transferred
at last from the Hudson Bay Company.
This act is a necessary preliminary to the
undertaking of the expedition to Red
Biver, which is TO vlndicate the some
what premature exercise of Canadian au-
thority. We hope that the Canadians will
transfer the waste energies they have ex-
pended on the Fenisns to the Hudson Bay
Territory. Amazing beyond description
Is the fierce zeal which the champions OF
a. nnminion have thrown into their
alarm over a -s~ng wild Irishmen- EX-
the two or three supposed Fe-
mans beaten in the bar room of q WfnSs5-
hotel, Canada has not yet seen the ghost
of an invader. But it is all the same. If
the Domtnion Government has not a real
war On its hands, it certainly deserves
to have one. 1t has called out troops,
suspended habeas corpus, and frightened
everybody; in short, has spared the Fe-
mans a great deal of work and bother.
Canada may well complain that she has
been invaded this time by her own Gov
eminent"
"Y," one of the. Washington cores
poudents of the Baltimore Gazette, says:
- Carpet-bagism has received another
1EdAlN bAbhH 4NnNNAh0l ~ AAbNaN htAoo
70 seat ]. II. Sypher, Radical, carpet-bag-
ger, cadetship peddler, lobbyist, ETC., etc.
He lacked some twelve thousand votes of
having a majority in the First District Of
Louisiana, which he claims to represent;
but what of that7 His opponent, and
the man to whom the seat belongs, is q
Democrat. So il was decided that Mr..
Sypher should be sworn in. He stood at
the bar of the House eXultant, his right
band raised. The Speaker had opened
the book and commenced TO administer
the oath, when there came a motion 10
adjourn. Thunder out of a clear sky
could not have been more surprising.
Sypher's defiant bearing suddenly
changed. His courage oozed out at his
fingers ends, and went dOwn into his
boots. His was a worse punishment than
that of Tantalus. A carpet Dagger with
but a few seconds between him and sew
eral thousand dollars back pay, mileage
and lobby money; but who, in those few
seconds, has the sweets OF Office, salary
and " pickings" placed beyond his reach,
would certainly be an object of pity were
he not the creature he is-a ca~rpet-bagger!
The mott u to adjourn was but the OPEN
ing shot of a contest, which resulted in
unsesting Sypher, and closing the doors
of Congress on him forever"
