What a Correspondent Has to Say of
Coming Political Events.

cial affairs here; unprecedently dull, dull
times, dull business-eveTything at 8
stand-still pace, and most internal dull
1t is dulleI at this early stage of the sea
son than IL has been within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. We, for the
next week at least, viii have lively
times so far as politics is concerned
and every nook and corner of the ninety
nine bOarding-houses and Over-chargine
hotels Of this city will be crammed,
chucked-full, running over with more OF
less of the faithful and unterrified De
mOcracy of the State, and candidates foI
the expectant places OF the
BRINDLE THIEVES.
AS a matter, of course, every delegate
has bis or her favorite candidate for one
or the other positions expected to be let
by the gift of the good people Of Arkan-
sas next November. You need not
laugh. We expect a large number Ofthe
softer sex, If not at least as active dele
gates of the convention, to greet US with
their presence and smiles in our onward
march to the first assault Of the Radical
breastworks; provided, the Brindles, in
their blind and fOOlbardy foolishness
should make it necessary for this con-
vention to make nominations for these
offices SO early in the campaign We
think, however, that better cOunsels will
vet prevail, from the unfortunate fact
Just discovered by the aspirants them
selves that there will not be enough Off
ces to go around and give everyone a
place. Thus we will be compelled
from this necessity to defer the nominal
ton of candidates until late in the cam
.paign, sometime during midsummer or
early autumn. II, finally, there should
be any necessity for a nomination of a
terrified Democratic ticket. We hope
there may be none, as by that time old
uncle "Joe" will be fully convinced
that the better plan for his wing of Rad
icaf Republicanism, that to make it a
success doubly sure, will be for his party
to listen to reason and quietly divide
with the I" Young Democracy" giving
US the naming of the candidate for Gov
ernor, Secretary of State, and Congress
man at large, than te suffer defeat Ia
toto by sticking and pinning himself TO
the opinions of such dishonest knaves
as penitentiary-bOnd Hodges, Nose
Reede, Rudd and others. The brindle-
tail wing of thieves
IN OFFICE
are willing for us to name the candidate
for LieIUenant-G Governor and any other
four positions the young Democracy
may select, from Lieutenant-Governor
down to District ElectOr, in order to be
able to carry the State for the great gift
taker Grant, and even name the next
public printer. Therefore We sincerely
hope there may be no necessity for the
Conservative party linking hands with
these thieves already in Office, rather let
fOrego defeat than thus to become
contaminated with this vile crew; and
that the Brooks party may yet see the
folly of this persistent, uncOmprOmising
idea Of Radicalism, see daylight ere it is
too late, get their eyes open before they
reach the shoals and quicksands ahead
in their onward march, TO the obstacles
in their way to their final success at the
next election, in stOrmiEg the breast
works of the Ministries and "On to
and thus prevent the neces-
Of the State Conservative Conven-
ton, which meets next week, of making
nominations at all these or hereafter
the campaign. Then the only
work they would have to do would be to
revise the Brindle electoral ticket for
the districts, than to eXtemporize the
Dropriety Of nominating a full C~onserva-
i've State ticket sometime during the I
summer or fall, from the fact that the
Did Brindle bull and his sap-headed
an unfortunate set of thick
skinned fOols-grazing in his pastures
and sticking to his shins tighter than
eeches-advising him, and leading his
to certain defeat, in cabling this
good cold man. that the Conservative
party viii vote for him in preference to
! straight-Out Conservative Democrat,
dominated by this or any future con-
of the representative people of
Arkansas, hoping that if he was elected
Governor that fat places will come to
heir nest. A foolish expectation. The
lext Legislature viii rob the Governor
# the appointing power, except the APP
of his own personal offices,
ct the Governor be whom he may. The ,
lower House would defeat anything
ike an appointment of Brooks, or any
# his favorites, to Office, or any of his
lith and kin not named by them, and
he Senate will be more stubborn still
rom the fact that this branch of the
government of the "affairs of
,taten is largely Minstrel.
There is much diversity of opinion
lere in regard to the convention max
ng nominations for State officers. We
lOpe the necessity may not arise, and
he only business will be to elect dele
rates to the Baltimore Convention to
ndOrse Greeley and the Cincinnati
'latform, and nominate candidates by
residential elections for the districts.
n all probability Colonel l.. c. Gauze :
r General J.. G. Pappan will be nomi-
for the First district, Mr.. L.
ones or Rufus K. Garland for
be Second, and Benz. 7. Duval {
r colonel William d. Reagin for the
bird district. In the selection of can
idates for Presidential electors for the !
at large, there will be, we sup I
ose, no change by either the Liberal :
tate or Conservative Convention. Rice,
and Dill are men Of the right 5
OFT, though they were nominated by the '
outfit of hungry ''outs." The !
cad of the Liberal ticket for Governor ]
! all probability will be DIR. John Kirk {
Tood, and Judge Liberty Bartlett for
Congressman for the State at large, old !
nd staunch citizens of Arkansas; two |
etter men could not be selected in any 4
Duntry. They are honest and capable, !

Ike Caesars wife, above reproach. The (
arties named for nomination, should y

We party for Governor, A. H. Garland; {
