This political sneeze- weed, by some call
ed the great American speaker and univer-
= sal card writer, now known and recognized
as the ssiDdependent" candidate for Cover.
nor, made speech from the steps Of his
Office last night. From what we can learn
of it, he, like his great ancestor, went about.
ND and down the earth, seeking whom be
might devour. he first pitched into the
new issue" of the Bank of Tennes-
see, and went into one of bis char
acteristic TRADES against the then Governor
aud Military Commission for the raising Of
money under act Of The Legislature TO pro.
tect the State from invasion by the Fedora i
troops. If we mistake not, this same speak
er was very glad to get behind the lines that
kept back Che Federal troops, and finally
got into a snug seat in the Confederate
Congress. We say nothing Of the
effect of the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United States upon the "nsw ISSUE" Thai
is question now before the courts for their
decision. But it comes with bad grace
from Arthur S. Colyar to traduce the Con-
federate authorities, or the Governor and
Military Commission. for that whichbe was
eager to reap the benefit of as long as there
was hope Of benefit to be reaped. BE too,
1t ses.As, is unwilling toilet the animosities
of the war sleep, but now strives to
arouse the indignation of the people
Of Tennessee against those whom while in
power be petted and caressed. His TRADE
against conventions, though not very argu-
mentative nor profound, was in his usual
style of bitterness and reckless disregard of
facts. he took occasion to devote himself
for few moments Ia a very entertaining
manner to the editor of the UNION AND
AMERICAN. His principal object in this
appeared to be to ridicule the Confederate
cause and make it odious TO the public.
He has evidently got it into bis head, by
some strange process of reasoning, or lack
of reasoning, that if it were not for the
UNION AND AMERICAN he might get into
in his life. 1t is not the UNION AND
AMERICAN, but he himself, that is the in-
supersble obstacle in his way to public IA
vor. The UNION AND AMERICAN has not
influence enough to get lin into political
position if it was ever SO prone to dis
regard the public interests OF
his attempts at wit we have
only to say that they were merely success
full falsehoods. Like penniless urchin at
a circus, be is striving to get into the show
under grown mans coat tail. He is Of
Tended because the UNION AND AMERICAN
exposed his effort to sneak into the Guber-
material office under the coat tail Of Ex-
President Johnson. He has not had law
case recently, and must air bis oratory or
it would have soured on his delicate
stomach, aud SO we let him pass. Sic
transit gloria Saturday night.

BILE People,
LITTLE Rock, Sept. THE following
order was published in the official organ
this morning:
Little Rock, Sept. 4, 1s72.-Special order
No. l2S, Major Gen. D. P. Upham, having
been assigned by Special order No. Z, dated
Nov. II, 1870, to the command of all the
State guards and enrolled militia of the
State, and being advised that the enforce
ment Of the civil and criminal law is OBJ
structed to such an extent in Pope cou nty,
Ark, as to render it dangerous if not i'm
possible for the Sheriff to enforce the same
with an ordinary posse, is hereby directed
to proceed forthwith to said county of
Pope, with such aid as is or may be neces-
sary to execute the civil and criminal law of
the State.
2. Gen. Upham is hereby vested with
discretionary power in the use of his forces,
with power to call all the State guards and
enrolled militia into active service if, in his
opinion, the situation demands the same,
and to use them in compliance with the
law under all emergencies that may arise.
8. The expense of subsisting the State
Guards and enrolled militia that may be
called into service under his order shall be
borne by the county of Pope and paid as
provided by section fourteen of an act en-
titled, "An act to provide for the enroll
ment of the militia, the organization and
discipline of the State Guards and for the
public Defense" approved July IA, 1868.
By order of the Commander-in-C Chief,
o. A. Hadley. EDWARD SAYToN,
Captain and Asst. Adjt. General.
Parties from Pope county report that
Gen. Upham has about hundred and fifty
men, militia, under his control. The main
body of this force camped six miles
south of Russellville, under command of
sheriff Dodson, while Upham with an es-
cort of one dozen men went forward to
Russellville. 1t was his intention to go to
Russellville to-day. Speculation is rife as
to what he will do on arriving there. All
the people are reported peaceable, and
Poynter, who killed the County Clerk on
Saturday, is in the hands of the civil au-
thorities.

A night of Terrors.

A Night Of TerrOrs.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA Jacksonville, I'LL,
dispatch says information was received
there to-day that a mob composed of the
friends Of Ed. Mitsted, who was shot and
killed on the Fair Grounds in Virginia,
Cass county, H., on Thursday last by g.
F. Difenbocher, attacked the Jail in Bards-
town last night with the avowed purpose Of
taking Diffenbocher and hanging him. FRI
day the jail was strongly guarded by band
of determined men. The mob became ter
ribly exasperated and set fire to the town,
and before the flames could oe subdued an
entire block of the best buildings in the
place was laid in ashes. The mob made
no attempt to take Diffenbocher from the
Jail, being deferred from doing so by the
strong armed guard around it. Last night
was indeed night of terrors to the people
of Bardstown. The excitement is so in
tense and the determination of Mitsted's
friends so fixed and strong to avenge his
death that fears are entertained that more
blood viii be shed and additional incendia-
ries attempted.

HOW TO BORE HOLES I'm GLASS.

ANY hard steel tool will cut glass with
great facility when kept freely wet with
camphor dissolved in turpentine. A drill
bow may be used Or even the hand alone.
A hole bored may be readily enlarged by
round file. The ragged edges of glass yes
sells may also be thus easily smoothed by
fat file. Flat window glass can readily be
sawed by watch-spring saw by aid Of this
solution. In short, the most brittle glass
can be wrought almost as easily as brass by
the use of cutting tools kept constantly
moist with camphorized oil ofturpentine.

When State Convention carries out the
will of the people fairly and honestly, they
are generally acquiesced in. But the pow
er entrusted by the people to conventions
has been so badly abused that the election
of your President, of your Senator and
your Governor is practically taken out of
your hands. say that it is time for the
people to take the thing into their own
hands, for it does seem to me that the peo-
pie are as competent to select their candi-
dates as are those men to whom they en-
trust this privilege of making nominations.
We now have Congressman for the
State at large. see great many before

pudiation fraught with harm? Will it not
bring modification, pain, humiliation? Our
enemies have invented cOntriyance after
continuance to degrade us, that they might
exult and glory in our abasement, but We,
while bowling to their superior force, have
thus far defeated their Vaccinations and
preserved our honor. And now shall we
consent to such course as natulaliy-al-
most inevitably-leads to our degradation?
No, sir, let us avoid this danger if possible.
If We have influence md political power,
let us use them SO as not TO entail mOrtif-
cation and reprOach upon our people. Let
us not follow blindly where others lead; nor
consent tacitly to a course we cannot ap-
prove, but let lis rather act so as to merit
the applause, even should we receive the
condemnation of our constituents. Let us
propose every reasonable compromise be-
fore we accept reputation, and thus retain
the proud consciousness Of having per
formed our duty TO future generations as
we'll as to Om selves.
There is no use making preparations fol
