Tuesday September I'D. TS7E.
From the n. Y. Sun, Radical.
How resident Grant Execute s
the Laws In arkansas.

The Grand Jury of the United States
Court which recently sat at Little Rock,
Arkansas, found an indictment against
S ,nator Clayton for having, when Gov
ernor Of the State, falsely aud fraudu-
lently certified that one John Edwards
had been elected to Congress from the
Third Congressional District of Arkan,
sas, when in fact the record showed that
Thomas Boles had clear majority Of
more than two thousand votes. To
Shield himself from trial and condcmna-
tien, Clayton had resource to Presi-
dent Grant, who, at his solicitation, re-
moved from Office the United States
Marshal and the United States District
Attorney fei the district, and flied their
places with men of Clayton's choosing !!
The ground for this action was the as
sertion of Clayton that the two officers
removed had packed the Grand Jury
sgsinst him. The result is, that Clay
ton has no. been tried, and will not be
whereas the Marshal and District Attor-
ney, under whose auspices the indict-
!, meht against him was found, rest under
the grave imputation of official miscon,
duct.
All the evidence and papers connect
ed with this affair are on file in the OF
flee of the Attorney General at Wash
ington, who has given his opinion thai
there is no ground for the charges
: against the removed officers; but as YET
the President has done nothing to re
pair the wrong of which he has beer
guilty As in the case of the New Or
leans Republican Convention, he sullen
" sticks 10 the position he has taken,re
gardlese whether it be right or wrong
and utterly indifferent to public opinion
8 The brutal obstinacy which seems O
late to be an integral part of his char
acoer drives him on to commit and t.
uphold any and every outrage which h
thinks will help obtain his denomination
to the Presidency If the Republican
party submit to his tyranny, they mus
makeup their minds to be Involved il
his ruin
The People have made up their mind
to ruin the Radical party by electin!
Democrats to the Presidency and othe
positions of honor and trust.

the Grant party in very short meter. He
says:
sLet the Republicans rally Let there
be grand rally. Let it be continu-
Gus and tremendous rally. Let the cry
be John Sherman and Demi-John A
Bingham, Grant and Murphy, a high

service, gifts, bribes, general corruption,

moralized Radical.

From the Berkeley Union.
Asa politician and Republican, we are
tempted to say TO the Democrats, go
ahead with your Convention. II you can
stand il we can, for II will DO your funeral
and not ours, nor will VIC be mOurners ut
your grave. But when we look at the
subject and consider the local interest OF
the panhandle and the interests of the
people Of the State, we cannot help raising
our voice against such an iniquity. We
have seen resolutions, we have read
speeches and editorials In favor Of Il Con.
yention, but never yet have We seen II
demonstrated that any public good was to
he derived or public interests benefited
by Convention. All kinds of test Oaths
have been repealed, There Is now no
law prohibiting, or II you please pro
sCribing any class OF men. What then
he doneY Who Is to be benefited ?
Are questions demanding q full, fair and
candid answer Can or will anything be
done that will draw capital or bring imi.
grafton into our State9 Can or will any.
thing be done that will enhance your in.
tcresls rs a citizen, that will lesson taxa.
ton, that will develope the agricultural
and mineral resources Of the StateY Is
there u certainty Of any Of these things
being doney On the other hand, is not
the whole dolngs of Convention, if one
should be called, shrouded in uncertainty,
covered with doubtY Is IL not question
after all Of sectional majoritiesI This
being true, II Is well known that though
one or two counties in the western Pan.
handle and eastern Panhandle pay the
taxes OF the State, yet the representation
ina Convention Is 30 small as to be easily
overcome by the representation Of tho In.
terror and mountain counties. There they
want railroads and other works Of inter.
nal improvements, nor do they care how
they get them. II they can get you into
Il convention they will fix up cOnstitu.
ton so rs to borrow money on the credit
Of the State, to build their railroads, &c,
and the eastern and western ends Of the
State will have to foot the bills. That il
one view Of H. OiTlce.seekng politicians,
will swallow that and 20 for convention
because they thus nj one blow turn out
every official in the State who gives them
an opportunity of trying to get hold Of
the offices, and that II possible, with in.
creased salaries, all Of which bills YOU
will have to pay. Some argue, let the
convention be called, and II we don't like
tue constitution then we can vote tdOwn.
That is poor reasoning. II sounds like
you cut my throat, and il you don't like
the manner in which It Is done, I'll have
q surgeon fix II up and I'll pay all the

Lunches.

Many persons find that the lunches
they catch ut railway stations, or when
they carry with them in their bags or
baskets, give them headaches, and serve
as very poor substitutes for warm dinners
at home, 1t is probably because they are
made up so largely Of cake or pastry.
The food is TOO concentrated, has not
enough waste matter and fluid about 1t,
and So produces constipation, which is u
sure cause OF u dull head and Il general
bodily discomfort The vegetables and
SOUPS we eat with our dinners at home,
are valuable FOR their waste matter as
well rs for their nutriment. With our
lunches We miss these, but fruit is still
better for those whose stomaches are
healthy enough to cat it uncooked, and
fruit we can almost always have with US.
For substantial lunch TO take from home,
especially for one who is taking active eX.
erCise, cold chicken is good, or cold meat
cut in slices. These, laid between butter.
ed slices Of bread, make very nice sand
witches. Thin biscuit is naturally more &C.
Ceptable than bread, and il cut open,
spread with currantjelly, and put to.
gether again, is very nice. The less OF
cake, and the palmer that little, the bet
ter for the travellers comfort. Fresh soda
crackers and fresh apples make an excel
lent light lunch; but the fine flour crack
crs are so concentrated, that il is best for
all who can do so TO eat the accompany
ing apples without peeling them, A sim.
pie lunch Of this. kind, which you can
buy as you hasten through the streets to
the depot, Is far better titan lhs little
sweet cakes and pastry denominations sold
Mt stands near the depot l doubt il
women, who know how such things are
made, are often caught buying them.
Figs or raisins go well with crackers or
gems but fresh, juicy fruit Is preferable
when You can get it.-APpteNonS doHrnaL
