The Nashville Banner Of Wednesd. " says:
Geo. Hudson, Of this city, who has been
boring for oil since 1865 at Dieson, thirty

severance about dusk on Monday evening.
On lifting the dsih the oil flowed to the sur.
fass In large stream, sOop covering the
ground oil around the we'll. The workmen
procured lights with view to plugging up
the we'll, but acoidsutly set the oil on nrs,
which was found very difficult to extin suisb
It 10 said that the we'll will flow one hun
dred barrels Of oil per day. Mr.. Hudson has

The Way to Success.

The Little Rock Gazette Of the 10th
closes very excellent article, having fol
its subject "The way to Success" for
the Democratic party, as follows:
:" In the fall of 1868, Notwithstanding
there was a division in our party in re
gard to taking the oath, enough Of the
brave men of the party did take it to car,
ry the State for Seymour and Blair by q
majority Of 1000 The votes of eleven
counties were thrown out by order OF
Governor Clayton, and the vote of the
State given to General Grant Even to
this day our ex- governor deserves place
in the penitentiary for robbing the peo-
pie Of their rights, on that occasion,
without law, without precedent, and with.
out authority Of any kind. Although we
have been told that the militia are to be
armed, organized and equipped, we have
no fears that this thing will again be re.
peated, if the people generally will be
careful to see that peace and good order
reigns, and VIC believe they will, the only
violations Of law that we have heard OF
coming alone from republicans,
"In 1868 thousands of our party re.
fused to register and vote, and yet we
carried the State by 1000 majority. In
1872 we do not think there will be sin
gle man who is entitled to do so, but will
register and vote. In 1865 the rcpubl-
cans were a unit In 1872 n large mum
ber ofthe more intelligent and honest ad.
herents of that party will vote with the
conservative people provided the latter
adopt such platform as that indicated
above The fact OF the matter is, we can
not fail Of success five pursue the course
we have marked out. 1t is bound to win
There is no such thing as fail in it, We
may be answered that we will be cheated
out Of the election If we carry it, as in
'6s. Suppose we are? We will be no
worse off than now. But we do not ap.
prchend anything Of that kind. The re-
puhlcans cannot commit sufficient frauds
to carry the next election, if the honest
masses will only put their shoulders to
the wheel in the manner we have ind "a o..
ted. 1t is impossible. Now then let us
close up our ranks, and get organized
That's the first great work.

U.KLUx CAPIrAL-Shcrif ScorT Of
Sebastian county in order to contribute
his mite towards the Ku klux capital Of
Arkansas, called on the Li.tls Rock Re
publican recently and tell, the editor:
That he has lately been compelled to re
sort to heroic treatment in the case Of the
Ku-klux in Sebastian, who drove away
the Methodist preacher, burned his
church, threatened school-houses and
chased union men away
This is what the .Neu Era Of the 23d,
has to say of the Shcrf's attempt. And
it speaks from the book, too:
THE SEBASTIAN COUNTY Ku KLUx.-
The shameful attempt of the handful Of
minions of the corrupt State House ring
to get up Ku kluX excitement in this
county short time ago utterly and most
ANONYMOUSLY failed. In the condemna
ton Of this attempted outrage, the repub
lican voters took the most part, hence the
despicable tools of the ring were afraid
to prosecute their nefarous designs.
Sebsstion county is the banner Rcpub
lican county in the State, having, even,
before the DISTINGUISHING act took effect
and without the colored vote, in 1866
fairly carried the county by large ma
jority. 1t has ever since been republican
and will go republican again if rotten,
rascally State administration ring keep
of their hands Talk Of u.klux in Sc
bastian county! Why, the men that tried
to get up that little scheme are worse
than any Kn.klux ever prowled about in
the midnight woods.

DEAR DUNnAM:-
Since my last good many things have
transpred in this here to,cn. There have
been another return of deputy marshals, and
quite a number of prisoners are brought in
which enlarges the criminal docket of the u
S. District Court, and will he enough for a
t,co Storey Judge to stand up to-no con-
tempt of court intended. If case on that
score should come up, you can plead it
when.
THE BRIDGE,
or. rather the committee. Is going ahead. and
are making preparations for putting the
thing In motion. Worthington, and Bowers
of the Pine BlVg Republican have gone for, OF
after the iron. for the suDerstructure, and the
stone |, all here ready for the abuttments and
piers, and all that is needed is some hands to
quarry them and put them mp. The lime and
cement is up the Ohio river. which Is rather
too low for bringing them here.
A BIG HOTEL

of gentlemen arc hard at work at the ways
and means to build 1t. They are about to se-
lect n site for it. There is more hope for IT
coming to head than the bridge matter
