We have in our Little Rock daille'
&c ,be 18th, two OF three columns OF
,,;snotches detailing the particulars OF a
,crrible riot which occurred in New
York city on the 10Th, the anniversary
of the battle of Boyne, fought between
William III, king of England, and
James I, (who had been deposed,) IN
1890. James, during his reign, en-
deavored to force Catholicism upon the
country, and the result OF his Efforts
was the revolution of 1858, which de-
posed him, and crowned William OF
Orange. James fed TO France; short
time efterward appeared in Ireland,
and encouraged by the French monarch
and assisted by the Irish pcasantry,
made war upon William, who finally
landing a force in ireland, met James
upon the banks of the BoJne, on the
10Th day of July, 1890, and routed
him. Secret political societies were
soon formed throughout the kingdom,
called the "Loyal Orange Institute,
which was composed exclusively OF
Protestants. Public professions Of the
Orangemon were finally prohibited by
the British government, and large
numbers of the society have emigrated
to the United States and settled in
New York. They usually celebrate
the anniversary of the battle Of Boyne
with great enthusiasm. Between these
(Protcstants) and the Catholic Irish
there is bitter hatred that rarely fails
to devclope itself on these anniversary
occasions of the Orangemen. The
dispatches we have are too voluminous
for our columns. They show some>
thing over two hundred men, women
and children killed and wounded.

CoNvENTION.-Th various Con-
gressional district committees of The
State met together with the State
/ Central Executive Committee at Little
Rock, ON the 10th inst, pursuant 10
previous notice, 70 consult together
with regard to the plan to be pursued
in the coming campaign. The repre'
sentation. as we learn from the Gazette,
was much larger than was expected
/ The State was well represented either
in the persons Of her chosen represen'
tatives or by their duly authorized
proxies. We think the action Of the
convention of the joint committees
fairly represents the will of the people
and very clearly forcshadows the result
of a general convention, when one shall
be held. The following resolutions are
the principal ones adopted;
Resolced, That this convention Of
the Democratic. Conservative Central
and District Committees Of the state,
representing the democratic and con-
servative masses of Arkansas, are op,
posed to all secret political organiza>
tons as being destructive to the best
interests ofsociety; that we recommend
to the people Of Arkansas a most care
ful consideration and protection Of the
rights Of all citizens, irrespective OF
race, color or previous condition, but
that while conccding all lawful rights
to those opposed to Us in politics, we
shall most earnestly demand and cons
tend for our own rights by all lawful
and legitimate means within ourrcach,
Resoicrd, That the recommendation
made by the several district commits
tees in joint convention assembled, that
it is inexpedicnt to call 4 State convcn-
ton of the party until after the Ma
tional Democratic Committee shall
have published a call for national
convention, be aud the same is hereby
adopted and that in accordance there
with we declare it ineXpedient and
inadyisable to call State convention
for Che present.
Rcs0ircd, That while the Central
Committee disclaims the right or the
intention to prescribe Il platform, and
invites free and full discussion upon
the part of papers and speakers to
evoke the sentiments Of the people,
announcing that it officially endorses
no platform leaving that TO be
done by a convention, yet, we re-
commend to the people Of the State
a careful consideration Of the address
of the democratic members of congress,
and the platforms of the great States
of Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc, as en-,
bodying the living issues upon which
the next national campaign should be
made.
Rcsofrcd, That the people of the
State be, and are hereby earnestly re-
to give the most liberal sup
port to the different Democratic and
Conservative organs in the State, to
the end that the frccst information
may be diiIuscd among the people, and /
our party papers, notwithstanding the |
legislation which dcbars
them from all official patronage, be
enabled to continue a vigorous warfare
against radicalism.

New YORK RIoT.-There is little
additional to say in regard to the late

BE SlLENT.-Ncver engage in an
angry dispute. fla man cannot argue
with you without becoming excited
and angry, the best course to pursue is
to be silent. 4 quiet dignity Of man.

than words; and, as is often the ease,
your opponent will see the unequal
ground he stands upon, and how little
ayails having a combat with himself
and soon will be glad to hide out Of
sight of his fellow man, or come to
amicable terms. We have known an
angry man to denouncc another in
language not "full Of the peaceful
fruits of righteousness" but in bitter,
goading cpithcls, that i'll become hu~
man being that is destined for higher
and a better home. We have also
seen the enemy, knowing his position,
silent and calm, as if some good spirit
had come and taken n Judgement within
his heart, and made him feel that he
was still a man, and had no desire tc
place himself on a level with a man
who would cope with the brute crcahoni

johnson addressed the citizens of
Arkansas county, at Dewitt, on Sat-
urday, 18th inst. in the interest of the
Arkansas Central railroad. The ques-
ton is of grave Importance to the peo,
pie of that county and demands imme-
date action.
The Augusta Bulletin says of the
White River Valley railroad: Five
hundred thousand dollars of good,
reliable, solvent subscriptions, have
been obtained to this enterprise. Not
adollar of bogus stock. This is enough
to justify letting the grading ana ties

Jacksonport, flour directors will adopt

The Memphis Appeal, of Monday,
says: "Colonel Sam. Tate, president
Of the Memphis and Little Rock rail-
road, advertises in the eastern papers
that his company is now ready to fund
the coupons, from tie first mortgage
bonds, that mature in December, 1871,
and May, 1872, in accordance with the
terms oftheir agreement with the bond

The Memphis Appeal says: The
British commission to determine the
gauge Of the Indian Valley and other
railways, have made their report.
The Indian authorities have decided
on three feet three inches for all lines,
and will extend the gauge to ten thon-
sand additional miles. The company
formed to build Il road from Denver,
Colorado, along the Rocky Mountains
and through the Rio Grande valley TO

long has adopted the thrce-foot gauge,
and is expecting to complete its first
section within thirty days. With scy-
eral thousand miles of narrow gauge
railways already projected on this side
IF the water, the experiment is certainly
to be tried Oh an extensive scale
The problem, yet undetermined, is to
combine economy with efficiency and
safety. Recently the stockholders in
the Sodthen Pacific road agreed to
make its tracl;Way three feet in width,
when it was objected by the commits
sionor Of public lands at Washington,
that such road would not be "hrst-
class" as required hysact cf Congress,
therefore the land grant could not be
executed. As we are advised, the
present delay on the part Of Marshall
O. Roberts and his associates, in be-
ginning the task they have undertaken
originates in these facts. They must
have the assent Of Congress to this
change in the proposed mode of con-
structing the road. 1t is to this gauge
that the Memphis and Little Rock
road must be conformed, and therefore
Mcssrs. GIecnlaw and Tate are I'M
