ARKANSAS,
Arrival Of u Surveying Parfy-COn.
ditiOns upsn which the Brooks
and Clayton Factions will Unite.

LITTLE Rock, August 22.-Prof. Rob.
erts, State geologst, and party arrived
on Sunday from a tour through North
ern Arkansas. The trip was for the
purpose OF survey preparatory to fall
work. They visited the zinc mines at
Calamin, in Lawrence county, and the
Professor is under the impression that
they are very valuable. He reports
that there are one hundre | and twenty
five hands employed now and prepara,
tions are being made to largely increase
the force. He also reports iron and
lead in abundance in this county.
The reported assassination OF Captain
Z. w. Wick by the Ku-Klux in Boone
county is untrue.
Anderson Mills, charged with shoot
ing a negro at the ferry landing, surren-
dered himself Yesterday and was bound
over in the sum OF $1,000.
The Journal OF yesterday contained
the following condition on which the
Brooks faction of the Republican party
will unite with the Clayton faction,
overtures having been made for some
time by the organ Of the Clayton wing.
The overtures are; First-A thorough
investigation to be had, and that they
restore TO the State Treasury and the
people all the militia funds; all the levee
scrip and bonds; all other bonds unlaw-
fully, iraudulently and corruptly stolen
and plundered from the State and the
people by them, and admit all the lies
told and published by .hem respecting
the political affairs Of the people, and
affairs Of the government, for the faith
full performance Of their duty; that the
State House gang and land pirates dis
gorge the hundreds of thousands Of
acres of public lands they have stolen,
restore them 10 the colored people and
the homeless generally, for the purpose
of homesteads; that they consent and
cooperate for the indictment and ear
nest prosecution and lawful punish
ment of all the criminals involved in
fraudulent registration and in ballot box
stuffing, lawlessness, &c. These we be-
lieve to be just and equitable terms OF
settlement between the Republican
party and the people on one hand, and
OF the thieves on the other. When
they are complied with, when justice is
restored, general government estab-
lished, and the burdens lifted from the
people, then shall we be contented.

POFFENBARGER POISONING
The Examination Continued.

LONDON, O., August 23.-The con
tinuation OF the Poffenbarger triaI
commenced a, niue o'clock. 4 large
audience was present. Mrs. Colburn
seemed calm and self-possessed as usual.
The first witness called was Coroner
Christman who deposed TO Dr. Sprague
handing him the Jars containing the
liver and stomach OF Pohenbarger and
their surrender to Prof. Wormley foI
analysis also to the fact that the grave
before cxhumation did not pre- sent any
appearance Of having been disturbed.
Cross-examined by Judge Harrison
Made Christman say that he was first
spoken to by DR.. Nandemeter. the pros
ecuting witness, regarding the subject
and that Eandemeter handed him q
list of men to act as jurors in the in
quest, one of whom was Bob Robev, a
companion of Malloy Thompson also

which Chris,man refused TO furnish 10

ter before any Justice OF Madison
county but before what purported to be
Justice of Brown county, Illinois, but
there was no certificate from the Clerk
OF the Court attached.
Frank Bursford, who was expected to
prove a great deal, only proved that
while on a visit to Poffenbarger there
was young man there, who was not
Mr.. Colburn. Robinson Florence, an
old farmer, had visited Pofenbaryer
during his illness; thought the old man
was dying for want OF breath, natural
result OF old age.
II. Smith said he drove out with his
wife and some ladies TO the farm saw
Mr.. and Mrs Pofienbarger there were
some ladies there; old Poffenbarger
had sore leg Colburu entertained the
party; Poffeubarger did not exhibit any
dissatisfaction.
Elijah Patterson, nephew OF Poffen'
barger, was the next witness. His e1aml'
nation did not develop any important
fact. He deposed to living seventeen
years with Potfenbarger and seeing
Colburn there frequently; on one Oc
casion Poffenbarger complained Of Col
burn coming there two weeks TO write
up the American war. After a long
and desperate fight between counsel
witness admitted that Vandemeter told
him If Mrs. Colburn was convicted and
the children fosterized, the relatives
would secure the estate.
Mrs. Panocke, an old friend Of Mrs
Colburn, said that shortly before Mrs
Colburn's second marriage she said tc
witness that Colburn had visited her
thinking that she was Poffenbarger {
daughter, and did not discover the mis-
take until her first child was born, anc
that he said when parting that he never
would marry as long as she remained
married.

CHICAGO.
Lincoln Monument Association.

CHICAGO, August "a dispatch
from Springfield, Illinois, says that the
Board OF Managers of the Lincoln
Monument Association held q meeting
Yesterday and heard the report Of Gov
ernor Oglesby and D. l.. Phillips, who
had been to Chickopee, Mass, to ex.
anime the statue Of Mr.. Lincoln, which
is being cut there They pronounce
the resemblance of the statue to Mr..
Lincoln as very good. They also incl
dentally looked after the prospect OF
raising enough funds TO purchase the
four groups of statuary which are yet
needed to complete the original design
of the monument They have made a
fair start in that direction.
Proceedings Of the Educational Con.
yentiOn.
In continuation Of the proceedings OF
the Education Convention yesterday,
President Pinkard introduced Mr.. Tap
pan, who in the absence OF Prof Elliott,
OF Harvard College, spoke in behalf OF
the department Of higher education.
After few general remarks he turned
to Governor Brown, who was on the
stand, and said that no part OF the hui
man being is forgotten in our scheme OF
education-is forgotten above all We
kpow-and feel as the maxim OF our
work that moral education is the most
important thing of all. Not only do
we recognize iis importance, but We
discuss the methods to carry il out; we
recognize that the education Of every
child in the land should be based upon
the love Of his fellow being. A few re-
marks were then made by A. c. Short
ridge, Vice President OF the Elemen'
tary Section, VINO was followed by s. ID.
White, President of the Nominal Section
who considered it eminently proper that
this Convention should be held in Mis-
souri,, in the State which has within a
few wears established such compre
hensive system Of common school edu
cation, and WI ich has inaugurated such
an extensive system of normal schools
and but the other day laid the corner
stone of one of the most elegant build

ings OF the kind in the country, and
especially proper did he regard it that
the Convention should be held in St
Louis, a city known throughout the
country for its comprehensive and
thorough system OF public instruction
and which contains one OF the mos,
celebrated normal schools in the coun
try, which also has recognized the prac
ticability that advanced an idea which
is beginning to prevailin the education
al world-the equality Of woman with
man as an educator. W. D. Henkle,
President Of the Superintendent's Sec.
ton, stated that the Hon. Mr.. Garfield,
Of Ohio, who was to speak on the subject
OF the relations OF the General Govern.
ment to education, had been unexpected.
ly called to Washington on an errand ot
mercy, and could not be present. The
general session then adjourned, and the
various sections met in various rooms
and transacted the business before them.
In the Department OF Higher Educa.
ton, Ii. 4. Edison, of Iowa, read an
essay on Classical Study and the means
of securing it in the west, in which he
took strong ground in favor of Classical
Study. No means Of discipline has yet
been discovered so effective and thor
ough. Referring to means to secure
attention in this direction, he said, con.
sidering the division Of education into
three departments-primary, secondary
and higher: We find a deficiency in the
supply Of institutions OF the second
grade, especially in the west, The State
makes ample provision for the first
class. For the first class the State
provides only in exceptional cases,
through the normal school. The State
prepares the teacher TOR his work in the
primary school, The want Of similar
facilities for the training OF the clas,
sical teachers for our preparatory
schools has been serious hindrance 10
the prosperity Of our colleges. To sup
ply these important facilities and to
establish schools that shall in the rural
districts enlist the youth and initiate
them in a course OF classical study.
We consider the immediate and pressing
want OF the time Is that direct efforts
should be made in favorable localities fol
the establishment of independent train
ing schools sufficiently ample to fit the
youth for college, and the clamor
against the study of the languages
would cease.

Letters from Commissioner Doug
lass.

WASHINGTON, August 23.-Commis-
sioner Douglass, in a long letter to Col
lector Pullman, of Cincinnati, says :
"The law will not permit the manufac-
ture and sending out of packages of to-
bacco without the works brand and
labels. The manufacturer is responsible
to the Government for every package OF
tobacco put up and prepared by him for
sale or removal. The registered num-
ber of the factory, the district and the
State must be on every wooden package
together with responsible name, which
may be that of the manufacturer or
proprietor. don't deem it proper or
advisable to seize or detain tobacco
when the same person or firms name
appears as the proprietors on the label,
il in all other respects the packages are
put up, marked, branded and stamped
IN accordance with the law and regula-
tions."
Commissioner Douglass consents to
