| Special TO the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, January l1.-There
was nothing of importance done in the
Legislature to-day. The contest over
the Senatorship grows more exciting,
and to-day Dorsey stock has an upward
tendency. There is no material differ
ence in the strength of Bowen and Dor
sey among the Republicans. The DEM
ocrats say nothing. No candidate will
receive their support who does not
pledge himself to advocate certain re-
! forms.
Nothing has been done as yet in refer
ence to the contested seats in the Legis-
lature, and nothing will be done until
that matter is settled.
1t is rumOred that Judge Caldwell will
be candidate for the Senate, and that
Judge Ham will take the Federal Judge
ship thus left vacant. 1t is said an effort
will also be made to bring out Chief
Justice Mcclure as a candidate.
You remember Tabbs Gross-our
Tabbs-who came so near being mobbed
by the negroes of Cincinnati last sum-
mer? Well, he made a brilliant speech
before a meeting of BOwen's supporters
tonight. He said he had supported
Greeley, and was now for Bowen, as
was large proportion of the colored peo-
pie of Arkansas. He thought the Re
publican party of Arkansas would find
the cOuntry's savior in Judge Bowen.
He was for Bowen, because be would
serve alike the blacks and whites.
Bowen had shown even n-handed Justice
through all the days of reconstruction.
Bowen had always been firm, true, un-
yielding and just. Such a man, said
Gross, deserves to represent the SOW
ereignty of Arkansas, because he repre-
sents the freedom and equality before
the law of all the people. He viii honor
the State and serve his country well.
Next Monday morning, concluded
Gross, the sun will gid with effulgent
glory the name of Thomas NJ Bowen.
In reference to the favor shown Dorsey
by Governor Baxter, the Gazette of this
morning had the following: "The Sena-
terial contest being now the all absorb
ing one, and the friends of both Colonel
Dorsey and Judge Bowen claiming the
Governor as a supporter, a representa-
tive of the Gazette called upon his Ex-
cellancy last night, to ascertain his
position. He states positively that
no one was authorized to say that
he would take an active interest in or
use the Executive patronage to secure
the election of either of the candidates" /"
Your correspondent unwittingly did
the Gazette injustice in proclaimlng that
the Journal was a supporter of Bowen's
effort for the Senatorship. The Gazette
goes for Bowen only in the sense that
Bill Nye went Tor that Heather
Chinee," the G is now all of that stripe
just in that way.
Messrs. Ike Saffarans, Sam Tate, Gus
Signaigo, Babcock and Beaumont are

set forth that in their belief the law inn

when these States were wholly unrep-

unnatural tenderness, said to me that

Brooks was elected there is not the

Investigating Commission, as proposed
to be appointed, would never hesitate
for one moment to declare that Brooks
was chosen Governor of Arkansas, and
that his majority was not less than from
six to fifteen thousand. Republicans in
imical to Brooks often admit this fact,
and yet only one single Conservative
Congressman, Hines, will secure a GER

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, January 1.-THE era
CT good feeling, as you have asserted,
dawns upon Arkansas. Its incipient
rays, however gladdening to the multi.
tude, may be dispelled at any moment.
Baxter intends, it is commonly asserted
to do right, as did Clayton at one time,
when partisanship and spOilsmen grew
too potent even for this reckless leader
of the mob and the helpless people We're
remitted to worse than Egyptian bond
age. The curses that swept over the
dominions of Pharaoh-that the prophet
said, "Have come upon us, and iuto our
houses, and into our bedchambers''-
prefigured evils that have desolated Ar
kansas. From that hour forth, when
recurring to evils that made Egypt pitt
able, invested the daughters of Israel
with sackcloth and ashes, and made lice
as thick as seashOre sands, there has
been no place and no condition of life
less tOlerable than this, of Arkansas.
Knaves have done their worst, and from
the highest TO the lowest positions Off
cial places have been filled by knaves as
soulless as redemptionless. These plum
dererers did not die when Baxter was
eAACA anu OAOOho tlUEAltNls 1LGN no
still live, and are a power in the land.
Even now they make Baxter and Clay
ton tremble, and these two move for
ward in the path of reform and
regeneration with trembling, hesita-
ting and unsteady steps. The very
slightest blunder on the part of the
Democracy may render sClayton and
Baxter helpless, even as Clayton was
rNx ,aalra aaaA L
proposed TO inaugurate thorough reforms
and liberalize the government of Ar
kansas. Thieves and tyrants were not
then appeased. The States credit was
not wholly wrecked. The fieshpOts of
Egypt were still too rich and iuicy to be
given up, and the process of depicting
treasures, State and county, was pros
ecuted with a degree of vigor never
known before. Mankind, contempla-
ting the facts, turn away with disgust,
and the people of Arkansas look on in
helpless horror and dismay. In utter
desolateness, friendless, bound hand and
foot, without a friend to pity or hand to
save, they absolutely agreed to support
a man for the Governors place towhom
they are indebted for every legalized
outrage and deprivation of right of
which Arkansas complains Poverty,
pitiable in its rags, and helpless, hope
less taxpayers, whose property has
been made valueless that splendid
abodes may adOrn the hills about Little
Rock, and that greater sums may be
sent to distant cities, the homes of
thieves and adventurers-these wretch
ed, robbed, people of Arkansas, think
ing that their duty done when they
complied with pledges made by party
leaders, having voted for Brooks, now
stand aloof and would have the distin-
guished

JOHN M,CLURE.

Chief-Justice of Arkansas, is of dimin-
utive stature, with massive head. He
was born and reared in Ohio, and well
educated. He read law with Judge
William Morgan, a Democrat of the
straightout sect. Naturally, Mcclure
became a Democrat, and was such until
he plunged madly into Arkansas poll
ties. He early entered the Union army,
and was Judge-Advocate, like Barbour
Lewis, with the rank of Major, at the
close of the war. He came to Arkansas
in 1865, and commenced cottOn-plant-
ing on the Arkansas river, in Arkansas
county. In this business he lost his all,
about thirty thousand dollars. When
the State Convention was called he
came as a delegate from Arkansas coun-
ty, and by his superior ability, without
appearing prominent, became one of
the most powerful members of that
body. He was elected one ofthe Judges
of the Supreme Court, and on the resig-
nation of Wiltshire was appointed Chief
Justice, which position he now fills.
He is also one of the proprietors and
editor Of the Republican newspaper of
this city, the organ af the party. Judge
Mcclure is said by the lawyers
of the city to be Learned ludge.n He
is certainly a good writer, and as party
manager has few equals. 1t may be
added that he is said to be not over nice
as to the means employed to accomplish
his ends. The Rev. Joe. Brooks will
rise to explain-MeClure' habits of life

ON yesterday we examined II lot oil
thorough rcdyoung Short Horns, now
at the stable OF Mr.. Nusshaumer, some
recently brought from Kentucky by
the Messrs. Gano, the Others by n gen
tleman whose name we did not learn.
The first Is Il bull, eighteen months
old, bought of the Ganos By Messrs.
Nussbaumer, Eakins, Camp and Gas
ton. He is very handsome, and of inn
mense size for his age, and cost $3.50.
He arrived in rather bad condition,
but is now hearty and full Of life.
Next comes five yearling bulls, still
unsold, and very likely, hut one or two
not fully recovered from the trip.
And lastly, five beautiful heilers, four
yearlings and one six months older,
all bought by Mr.. Nussbaumer at the
average price of thirty dollars.
We rejoice to note such additions to
the stock of the country. 1t foreshad-
ows a better day for our farmers and
we hope to see thousands of thorough
bredsspread over the country.

WITHIN the past three years we have
Travelled extensively in the Northern,
Eastern and Western States, but we
have never seen n town of the same
size, say nine thousand inhabitants, i'm
which there was as much life, trade
and improvement as in this little one
horse city of Dallas. Strangers from
all parts of the Union are struck with
the same fact. Look abroad and what
do We see? Houses going up in all d.
rectlons--the streets, from early morn
to night literally jammed with wag-
ons discharging or receiving freight
freight trains arriving and departing
day and night, keeping up such ring
ing of bells and blowing of whistles as
to render sleep almost impossible to
strangers and the sick--lumber piled
daily twenty feet high for half mile,
rapidly transferred to wagons and the
piles rebuilt next day.
Covering space one and half miles
wide and two and half long, all IL
bustle-thc sound of the hammer, the
anvil, the trowel, the locomotive and
all kindred sounds, everywhere greet
the ear. The idea that such n town i,
Jealous Of any other place Is supremacy

The adjustment of the difficulty pc

parts. If brush Ind taken place, In
which Uncle Sam would have received

would have opened for these undone
carpetbaggers the prettlest field of OPP

world ever saw. If that door Is shut
they will have to retire into outer
