"Reader If you have borrowed the

the small pox, was conveyed insidious-

lovely daughters, two popular mothers

Border Railway.

We are reliably informed that a consolida-
ton and merging Of the various charters and
interests of the Border line of railroad " has
been completed, aud we may look in the
course of few months for active measures
towards the prosecution of the work. We
think we may safely say, that this movement
is not made for purposes of speculation. but
with an honest intention of building the road
from this place through or near the towns OF
Fayetteville and Bentonville to the Missouri
State line, there to meet railroads now build
ing to that point.
To secure this desirable result our citizens
must subscribe literally In aid Of the road.
The cost of building this road will be double
that Of any other road In the State Of equal
length, and we must be correspondingly lib
eral in our subscriptions.
We shall refer to the subject again from
time to time and give such information as to
the progress of the work as shall prove reli-
able.

GRAND RATIFICATION MEETING.
One Hundred Guns for 0reelev and
Brown.
Speeches from Hon. Jesse Turner and Col.
B. J. Brown.
Organization Of Greeley and Brown
CLUB.

BY mail last Saturday evening, news of the
nomination of Horace Greeley for Presiden,
and b. Gratz Brown Vice President. at the
Democratic National Convention at Balti-
more, on the 9th inst, was received, and OF,
the news becoming generally known crea,
enthusiasm was manifested by the people.
About 0 o'clock the citizens Of Van Buren,,
with some few exceptions, irrespective OF
party, race or previous condition, assembled
at the foot Of Main street on the Levee, to
hold ratification meeting, where one hun
dred guns were fired off in honor of the event.
Stirring speeches were delivered by Hon.
JESSE TURNER and Col. B. j. BRowN. They
spoke with much force and effect, being in
terrupted throughout with wild enthusiastic
applause. The speakers showed they were
in earnest. The people were exhorted to
arouse and 60 to work-that this Is the most
important presidential campaign in the his
tory of our Republic; that the election in
November next would in their humble
Judgments decide whether our republican in
stitutions should longer exist. The people
were assured if they would do their duty, no
danger need be feared and that Horace Gree
ley would be elected by greater majority
than Gen. Harrison. &c..
GREELEY AND BROWN CLUB,
At the close of the speeches, was organized.
Nr. II. G. HAYMAN was elected President and
Capt. A. Ii. CARSON Secretary. Over one
hundred persons Joined the club on the spot,
which showed that the people were thorough
ly aroused. The services of the Van Buren,
Cornet Band were secured on the occasion
and diScoursed sweet music throughout the
whole proceedings. At the close fthe meet
ing grand procession was formed and
marched through the principal streets of the
city, headed by the Band. Cheers and huz-
zahs were sent up without stint for Greeley
and Brown as the procession moved through
the streets. 1t was not Democrats alone in
these proceedings as the Grant party would
like to make it appear. The whole thing was
conducted by Republicans 1t seemed to be
q spontaneous coming together of the people
regardless of party. to rejoice together over
the nomination of old white Coat" Many
colOrcd men took part In the proceedings and
some Joined the Greeley and Brown Club.
The Union League at this place Is beginning
to lose its Potent influence over the colored
men. They have bound them by oaths so Of
ten to support Grant and IIadey, Lockhart
and Grady. that the thing is becoming so
common it fails to have that influence over
them as of yore Taking everything into
consideration, the ratification meeting was q
grand success.
The Club adjourned to meet on Monday
evening next, at the Court House.

A Grand Swindle.
Counterfeiting Treasurers Certificates
-Four Parties Aresfed.

Last evening the most intense excitement
was occasiOned by the arrest OF several par.
ties charged with uttering counterfeit treas
urer's certificates. Fred. krull and Christian
Johannessen, parties who were never known
to have any considerable amount OF money.
were yesterday handling on the streets thou
sands of dollars of trcasurer's certificates.
Men who before had never been known to
have over few hundred dollars, handled 1t
by the thousands. Suspecting something
wrong, Mr.. John Reigler, County treasurer,
on the plea Of desire to purchase five or six
thousand dollars of scrip, obtained piece of
$4,000 from Johannessen, and telling him to
remain at his office few minutes and he
would return with the money for it-forty-
five cents on the dollar-went at once to the
office Of the State treasurer, and Mr. Cobb.
who is acting as Treasurer In the absence Of
Col. Page, pronounced the piece spurious.
The signature was genuine, but the number.
amounts, etc. had been erased with some
kind of acid, and new amounts written in
stead. Mr.. Reiglcr at once had Johannessen
and Krull arrested on warrants issued by
ESQ. Pears and the sum Of $50 900 was found
on their persons. They protested their inno-
eence. stating that they procured the money
from c. 5. Murphy, who Is known rs a street
dealer ia scrips In a small way. They stated
they had been employed by Murphy to sell
the money on commission. Murphy was
then arrested, aud acknowledged to having
furnished these parties with the scrip. The
following Ia the amount and number OF each
piece, and the name to whom issued:
The Van Buren press., 1872-07-16

The number, name and amount were all
changed from the original. aud are dated
June, July and August, 1871. The signature,
Henry Page, Is genuine. They are all signed
by him, except one by Fred Coob, thc depu-
ty. On examining them the fraud Is easily
detected. Some OF them are pretty we'll exc
cutcd, and would pass without close inspec-
tjon. These certificates were turned over to
