THE little fellows" who follow in
the wake of Andrew johnson declaim
fereely against conventions and every
other organized effort of tine people to
Keep Radicals out OF office. They
prefer Maynard to Cheatham, and Bar
bour Lewis to Haynes. Many of them
having been repudiated by the people in
conventions and at primary elections,
are braying for the Independents
with al their might. So far as indie
pendents are concerned, from Johnson
down to the most Insignificant of them
it is well-known that, when a man is
spelling for an Office, that fact alone
is ample proof that he ought not to
have it. He thinks too much of himself
and his own interests to make a good
servant Of the people Such is John
sonism.

The records OF our Police Court show
that wife beating has become a standing
charge. The existence of the british
propensity, and the frequency of its
shocking manifestations call for some
severer penalty than paltry fine of five
or twenty-five dollars. In England,
where the amusement is carried to ex-
cess the usual penalty imposed by the
London magistrates is a heavy fine,
from two to six months Imprisonment
with hard labor, and sureties to keep
the peace. Should the practice continue
TO flourish in our midst, much heavier
penalties ought to be imposed than those
usually inflicted. 1t is true that as a
general thing, the habit is confined to
ignorant and depraved men whose mate
depravity and the coarseness of habitual
debauchery overcome all the manlier
feelings thai revolt at inhumanity.

By the census of 1870 the population
of Arkansas was set down at 1862, ll5
whites and l22,lG9 blacks, or about co.
600 Democratic and 10000 Radical
voters. The registrars of that State
have almost unlimited power to refuse
registration, and ias a consequence,
nearly 10000 citizens have been dis
franchised. The weight of the four
teenth amendment has been lifted by
act of Congress from all but specified
classes, yet the amendment seems to
have full force so far as to disqualify all
from voting who were under its original
provisions. Because they oppose Grant
the people cannot vote. Were these
people eDfranchised the State would
cease to be governed by carpet-bag
gers.

CRISTOyALO COLON.


Celebration of the 3SIst Anntyer-
sary of the Discovery ~ America
CristovAlo Colon, or as it has been
Latinized, Columbus, was a Genoese
mariner OF great talent, simplicity OF
character, religious temper, singleness
of heart and enthusiastic faith. In
finding a new path across the ocean, he
hoped to open another road for the de-
liverance of the Holy Sepulchre, and to
fulfill the prophecies Without means
to fit out a ship, he applied to Joao
II of Portugal and Henry VII
of England without success. But
the fervid zeal and religious faith
of woman was equal to the task.
Isabel of Spain granted him three small
vessels for his voyage, and on the Sd of
August, 1892, he sailed from the port OF
Palos. On the 18th of October, l492, he
first beheld land. 1t was the little island
of San Salvador, West Indies. Column
bus sailed among the islands and
returned to Spain on the 4th of January,
1893. After making four voyages to
America, which had been called after
Americas Vesputius, who. encouraged by
Emanuel, King of Portugal, discovered
the main land in 1897, Columbus died
on the goth of May, 1906, allotting par;
of the revenues of his estate for the res
cue OF the Holy Sepulchre when its time
should come. Columbus gave new
world to SPAIN" was inscribed on his
monument, and was the motto of his
descendants To-day, the three hundred
and eighty.frst anniversary Of the great
discovery, was celebrated in this city.
At 10 clock procession was formed on
the east side Of Court Square, and was
composed of the following societies.

Main to Beal, out Beal to Shelby, down
Shelby to Vance, out Vance to Main, up
Main to Beal, down Beal to Second, and |
up Second to Court Square On arriving
at Court Square the various societies
we're escorted to their respective head
quarters by the Italian Society, headed
by their band. The celebration was
creditable in the extreme to those par
ticipating, and was witnessed by large
numbers of ladies and gentlemen who
thronged the sidewalks Of Main and
other streets on the line Of march.

IN MEMORIAM

AT meeting cf True Brotherhood Lodge
NO. 84. A.'.F.'.M., the following tribute was
paid to the memory Of Brother 8. W.. John
D. CALDWELL:
Tho Unsuitable reaper Death has forced an
entrance into our Brotherhood, and has
taken out OF our midst one whom we loved on
account OF his amiabity, generosity and
msny other endoaring qualities.
When age and 1ecrepitude have wrought
their work, when the ties that link us TO
earth are broken. one by one, we regard the
demise OF our fellow-men as the natural re-
suit-as ripe, full sheaf is gathered into the
garner; but when health, strength and the
bloom OF youth still course the veins of man.
when we anticipate for him many years Of life
and usefulness, and Jet death cuts him down.
without u moments warming, in the twink
ling OF an eye, We stand aghast and appalled,
at the Efeless form. Such was the case when
the sad news opread that our beloved b-o.
ther, JOHN D. CALDWELL, was no moro. and
whereas VIC are now called upon to perpe.
tuate on our record book his merits as man
and brother; we cannot better e.nresa an,
appreciation Of his worth than by emtoa-,nc
it in the single term, that he was "trns',
brother in every sense OF the word-"truen to
his country, "true" to his friends-to than
alasl perhaps too true. Yes. he was sstrue''
to fault, and our late brother will long ba
remembered by us. And now that he is no
more, now that we have committed earth to
earth, dust to duet and ashes to ashes. be It
Resolced, That although we feel that tha
hand OF GOD has smitten us sorsly. we bow in
humble submission to His Divine will which
ID past finding out.
Hesotued, That we extend our hearty sym-
pathy to the heart-stricken family Of our fate
bbsotdher, to whom he was an afectionate hus.
member that, although their loss is great
that His mercy endureth forever
Hesotoed, That a blank page OF our record.
book be dedicated to the memory of our late
Brother Senior Warden and acting Master.
by an appropriate inscription thereon.
Hesotoed. That his pedestal be draped in
mourning for the space Of thirty days, during
which time the brethren OF our Lodge 1iil
wear the badge Of mourning
Resotued, That the Secretary forward a
copy OF these resolutions to the family of the
t,e tu,eceased. and also furnish a copy to each Of
the daily papers Of this city for publication.

Why A KU K1ux PRISONER WAS NOT
PARDoNED. 1t has transpire,i that Rich.
ard Shotwell, one of the leaders of the
Ku Klux Khan in North Carolina, and
now confined in the Albany Penitentary,
proposed to prominent member of
Congress that if the President would
pardon him. he would cheerfully take
the stump, and labor for the success of
the Republicans and denounce the Ku
Klux organization. Finding that ho was
disposed to plead for pardon, it was pro.
posed to ask if he would give evidence
against tho principal leaders, such ns
Ransom, Vance aud Merrimon. This
Shotwell declined with a defiant air, aud
said he would die rather than betruy
anybody. Application for tho pardon
WAS, therefore, refused. When Gerrit:
Smith visited Shotwell, two months aeo,
he said he found him defiant and unw,ll.
ing to accept pardon on any condition.

for the redemption of all such stamps.
and has issued circulars with the neces.
sary instruction to the assessors and col.
lectors OF internal revenue.

polls. A few bouts of fistiouff occurred

in the dense mass, and then a discharge
OF brick-bats came from the negroes,
followed by an order from their leader,
jeff. Long, to fire upon the whites In
the course of few seconds, about fifty
pistol shots were discharged from both
sides, by which one white man was
killed and some five or six negroes
wounded; two of whom are since dead.
The attack came from the negroes, and
these general facts are substantiated by
numerous aflidavits before the venerable
Judge Cole, of this circuit, who was in
the Court House, and himself witness
from window. that the negroes com
menced the affray. After the ARRAY,
which lasted but O few moments, the
bulk OF the negroes left in haste and dis
order, swearing that they would give up
the election, as they had been driven
from the polls by violence. and could get
no chance to vote. They massed again
at the oity hall. where they were ad.
dressed by the Mayor, guaranteeing them
perfect protection from strong force of
special police, which had been swo.n in
Tor the day, and free access to the polls;
but, with few exceptions, they refused to
vote, and many have gone home. The
whole OF this deplorable affair is simply
the result OF another attempt by the ne.
groes to carry this precinct by storm,
and firm purpose Of the whites to pre-
vent a repetition of the outrage. All
quiet at this time.
