Meeting of Democratic state Central
Committee.

MEurHIs, July 1.-THE Appeals dis
patch from Little Rock to-day says that
the Democratic State Central commit
tee. Of Arkansas, met here this morn
lng. All the members were present
either in person or by proxy except two.
The meeting was harmonious and
characterized a great deal OF good feel
mc Beyond the usual informal inter
change OF opinions nothing was done,
and after the lapse OF perhaps an hour
or 50 an adjournment was had until
evening.
At the evening session the committee
discussed the propriety OF holding a
Convention next fall, but few favored 1t
and uo not now think a Convention will
te held but as the committee will be IN
session some hours tomorrow and like
all mortals are liable to change
especially after they have had an op-
poFtunlty Of consulting outside In
nuences, that are here, we would not
be surprised if an order for Conven-
uon were 20 be issued. One thing Is
known, that majority Of the members
are IN favor Of the adoption Of the Ohio
platform. | think it very doubtful so
laF a. can be learned, that a majority OF
'he people of Arkansas favor the Nation
a. platform OF 1868. The committee
Will adjourn to morrow.

conditions. And as there is no such law,
either in existence or proposed, author,
izing consultations or increased issues
of stock, it is apparent that any such
consolidation with any other corpor,
alton, and it is rumored about the Rock
Island, would be fictitious. And the
Constitution provides that all stock
dividends and any other fictitious in
crease of stock shall be void. The
Chicago and Southwestern road is the
one, rumor says, TO be consolidated
with the Rock Island, and extends from
Washington. Iowa, two hundred and
fifty seven miles West OF Chicago to
Leavenworth, Kansas, a distance OF
two hundred and fifty miles. This
road will make a direct line of five
hundred and seven miles f:om Chicago
to Leavenworth. The distance is about
the same also by the new line to both
Kansas City and st. Joe. This COM
pany now have about two hundred
miles oftheir road done and in operation.
The gap Of about fifty miles in Daviees
Grundy and Sullivan counties in Ms
souri, will be finished in August, and in
view of the fact that this company will
be shorter line than any present one
from Chicago to the three most import
ant cities on the Missouri river, there is
reason to believe that it will be one OF
the most important and profitable
roads in the West AS shown above,
the Constitution of this State prohibits
the consolidation, but this road is in
fact continuation Of the Rock Island
company's system Of roads. The Rock
Island company have guaranteed five
million dollars in the Southwestern
company's bonds, and the latter road is
entirely under the control Of the Rock
Island company, and will probably be
leased to it at a rate which will make
it the most important feeder the Rock
Island company has. The real secret
of all these rumors probably is, that
Mr.. Tracy and his friends are covering
the shorts they put out day or two
before the Woodward failure, knowing
as they did then that they could cause
an explosion and depress the stock tenn
porarily below its real value by allow
ing the rumors to 90 uncontradicted,
and by countenancing a false view OF
the real value Of the Southwestern rail
road, as branch Of the Rock Island
system.
A letter from Camp Mcdowell to the
Tocsen Citizen, dated June 18th, says
that Lieutenant Charles Morton, with
twenty-nine men Of the Third Cavalry,
and a party of sixteen citizens from
Prescott and the vicinity, had arrived
at that Fort on the 18th, after most
successful scout, having killed titty.slx
Indians, and recaptured one hundred
and fifty head OF beef, stolen from Bow

dent. These gentlemen were, however,
not familiar with the circumstances
that led to the homicide, and only knew
what took place at the time Of the
killing.
In the meantime Mr.. Boyd turned
and passed out Of the bank into the
street. where he was met By the police
officer on the beat and taken into Gus
tody. His two companions were not
interiered with, and up to the present
moment have not been arrested.
Intelligence OF the event was immedi-
ately conveyed TO the proper authori.
ties, and steps were taken to hold an
inquest. The post mortem examination
was made by DR.. j. B. Cooper. with
the result as previously stated.
From the New Orleans nmeSl
The homicide Of yesterday, in our
neighborhood, was horrible affair. and
dtfused a general gloom throughout the
community. The parties involved were
well known, and have large circles Of
friends. Mr.. Samuel Rainey has long
beeu connected with large commission
houses in this city. He was native Of
the North of Ireland, a gentleman OF
strict business and peaceful habits, and
esteemed as gentleman Of great trust
and capacity as an accountant. These
qualities had procured him the respons-
IDLE position OF general book.keeper
in the New Orleans National
bank Mr.. Rainey was a wild
over with three young children.
The young man who fired the
fatal shot was also well regarded by
those who knew him. His associates
and family and are also highly respecta.
ble. Ii is time, indeed,
that this practice, so common IN this
community, of shooting down men
engaged in peaceful pursuits, from a
mere motive OF revenge and passion,
should be reprobated, denounced and
punished with the greatest severity. and
that all good citizens should combine to
protect our society from the consequen.
ces OF failure thus TO enforce the law
and maintain the peace and security OF
life, which are the chief ends OF all civ
iliZed communities.

Confederate lines-or as had been done
not far off, end the matter summary

in general scratching, gouging and
hair pulling (this was before the days

RumOrs in Relation to the Rock
Island Railway Stock-AS Successful
Indian Scout.

Indian Scout.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Tribune of
this morning says that all sorts of ru.
mors are circulated in regard to the
Rock Island railroad company. The
dispatches of Saturday evening, from
New York, contained rumors Of an in
creased issue OF stock, and also of a
consolidation with the Southwestern
railroad company. Yesterday dis
patches were received here from bro
kers in New York, saying that notice
had been given on the Kentucky Ex-
change by the Rock Island company Of
proposed increase of two millions Of
stock. Later dispatches failed to con-
firm any such report, and even ifthey
did it would be apparent to those con.
yersant with the constitution aad laws
of Illinois that such reports on even
such action, admitting the possibility Of
its having been taken are humbugs
gotten up in Wall Street to affect the
price OF Rock Island stock. 1t is the
opinion of some of the bes. legal talent
in this city that, under the Constitution
of this State, no railroad corporation of
this State can consolidate with any
other corporation. nor increase its own
stock, until the Legislature shall pass
some general law authorizing such acts
and prescribing the method of proce-
dure. All increase of stock asd all
consultations are positively prohibited
by the Constitution except under these

that General Pleasanton will give
