S The rats continue to desert the
ship. The last public man to declare hos
tility to the Radical administration is
Senator Upton. In Omaha, few days
ago, he asserted that if the "perambulat'
ing President" were nominated for the
Presidency, she would take the stump
for Mr.. Hendricks, in case the latter
should be nominated by the Democratic
party. He further declared that If the
State convention of his party shall select
delegation to the National convention
favorable to the nomination Of Grant, he
would stump the State against him before
he was nominated
Mr. Upton was originally an Aboli
ZIONIST of the most radical kind, but we
are pleased to see that he has discovered,
late it is true, what Others long ago dis
covered, that "the government as now
administered, is government whose
usurpations and corruptions are danger
Gus to liberty and ruinous to the people. y
Hence We welcome Mr.. Upton to the
ranks of the great army Of conservative
Republicans who sigh for change OF
goyernment.-St Louis Times.

Horse STEALISG,-A man by the name OF
A. j. Gaylor, who has rented land and is
making a crop in this County, was arrested
on Friday last for stealing a mare from Mr..
Percell, living near the Flat Rock bridge, on
the llth Of June last, and also bay horse
from Mr., Nuns, Sunday night week ago.
Gaylor had his examination on Monday be-
fore Justice HOLMAN. The evidence, which
was conclusive, showed that the prisoner
took the mare to Fort Smith on the 18th Of
June and traded her to George Hood. And
the horse was taken there on the Tuesday af-
ter 1t was stolen and traded to n Mr.. Fichncr.
Gaylor through his attorney, asked post
ponement ofhs case for week, that he might
producs witnesses from Fort Gibson, to show
how he came by the animals, but the Justice
declined to postpone the case as all the Wit
ncsses for the State were present. After a
patient hearing Of all the evidence, Gaylor
was held to take his trial at the Circuit Court
under bond Of five hundred dollars in each
case.

State Agricultural and Mechanical Fair

The fourth annual Fair Of the Arkansas
State Agricultural and Mechanical Associa.
tion, will be held at the Fair grounds at Little
Rock, commencing Tuesday, October 81, and
continue for four days. We have been favor
ed with the premium list prefaced with con-
else history of the city Of Little Rock, from
1925 to the present.
The premium list comprises everything that
is worthy place the premiums are liberal
particularly the stock premiums. One OF the
great attractions of the Fair will be the con
test for the $1,000 purse to be awarded the
fastest trotting horse, mile heats to harness
already ten entries have been made by gentle
men owning fast trotters. This lair promises
to eclipse all former meetings. and ii is to be
hoped that li7ely interest will be taken by
all our citizens in the matter; there is moth
ing calculated to produce better results to
the planter and the stock raiser, and to the
mechanic, than these yearly exhibitions.
There Is not to be found Planter, Farmer,
Mechanic, or Family within the limits ofthe
State but can furnish something Of Interest
to place on exhibition at the State Affair, and
none should stand back and say we have moth
ing that would be likely to take premium,
Send in your fine Horses, Cattle Hogs, Sheep,
etc, and thereby show your interest in the
success of the enterprise. The managers of
the Association are spending vast amount
Of time and money to place our State Agri-
cultural Society in prosperous condition,
and it is but matter Of Justice to them, that
they should be earnestly aided and encourag-
ed by every individual.

were those Of defrauding the lodge while its
secretary defrauding the members individ-

ANOTHER ErFoRT.-Wc wish to direct spe-

Crawford County Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Association, for call of n meeting next
Saturday at 10 o'clock at the Court House in
Van Buren, 1t is desired that there should
be general attendance from both town and
country. All are interested and should wake
up to the importance of maintaining and
keeping alive this enterprise set afoot by a
few liberal minded citizens in the county.

FORT SMITH RAILROAD.

Matters are still muddled. The fault
does not lie with the company, but with
the contractor, Mr.. Warren Fisher. Mr.
Fisher has been overpaid by the compa-
ny, but has failed to pay his sub,con-
tractors, Messrs. Pearce, Stacey IL iors
ton. The latter have levied on all the
iron, rolling stock, etc, of the company,
and obtained an injunction from Judge
Searle TO prevent them from contracting
with any other parties to build the road
The property Of the company is thus tied
up by the State courts for something that
they have no connection with. Their
dealings are with Mr., Fisher. They have
overpaid him. His failure to pay his
sub-contractors is certainly no fault OF
theirs Mr.. Fisher having failed to COM
ply with this contract, the company
would contract with Other parties for its
completion, were it not for the fact that
Judge Searle has issued an order to re
strain them from doing so. We trust
there will be a speedy settlement of all
these difficulties.

USPRoFlTABLE.--The controversy or bck-
srings going on between the Little Rock Ga
seae and the Daidanelle ChroHicie over the
fact that Editor of the Chronicle, Captain
BARRY, did for while accept the public
printing patronage from Gov. Clayton. The
Gazette should realize the fact that in these
times, country newspapers have, sometimes,
to accept the pronered patronage Of Radical
officials, in order to sustain themselves. We
can readily see how paper, situated as the
Gazette ia, with the helping hand Of liberal
men all over the State, can laugh to scorn'
any attempt to seduce them with radical
public pap. The filings at Capt. Barry, are
certainly ungenerous, after counseing him
to accept the patronage proposed to be given
This is the Chronicles explanation and should
be satisfactory to all fair minded men:
WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT Tr.-The Ga
| sette, in order to destroy the influence of the
Chronicle, seems to exult and take special de-
light in blazing it before the world, that we
were Clayton's organ at one time. That w
were ever Clayton's ORGAN is as false as any
thing else the Gazette ever uttered. 1t Is
true when there was no newspaper In the 9Th
judicial district, to which Clay ton had given
tho public printing, (owing to their violent
opposition to his administration he desig-
mated the Transcript, newspaper which was
then just struggling into existence and which
newspaper was earnest in its appeals to the
people to submit to the law, to allay strife
to prevent blood-shed and to aid the admin
istration, by backing its authority, in secur-
ing protection to life and property. Gov
Clay ton, at this juncture gave to the Trans
cript the public printing. informing us at the
same time that he would take it away, a,
soon as he might choose do SO, which should
be whenever n radical newspaper should be
started in the 9th district. This is the Who'll,
amount of our SHINING. The Gazette advised
us at the time to accept the public printing
at Gov. Clayton's hands, for we consulted
with one of the main Gazette men about ii,
and the honorable gentlemen will not deny
It. lt will be seen then, how unjust it is for
the Gazette to be laying this matter so con-
stantly before our door. 1t shows also that
the Gazette has no solid arguments in favor
of the new Departure and that it Is fore
ed to traduce when it cannot answer.
