Our friend, II. W. CoULrRAP, is q
very honest and clever fellow, but
he shodld not be flattered by those
who dc not know what is best for
him to do. All young men, like
himseR, should "listen not to fiat
tering tongues Quite recently a
few ~fatterers persuaded him to
think that his "eddycashun" was
accomplished, because he had sheen
into College," rs ARTEMUs WARD
used to say; had read a good many
big books, filed ont lots of pension
papers in jones' law Office, ETC., ETC.,
and he must go right into the I'm
ion School House and superintend
the schools. He concluded that he
could fiji the position for a salary
Of 5000 per pear-$200 less than
the very small salary of Prof. NJ.
R. BARNES. The Board of Direc-
tors were appealed to-silently and
secretly. Those acquainted with
the superior qualifications of the
fresh applicant did not want the
people Of the district to know what
a good thing they had found, but
within the past six days the bot
tom dropped out of the meal tub.
The three directors were divided on
the suhject-one said yes, one no,
and the third said let us hold a
meeting at the school house, and
vote on the question. Monday af-
ternoon, between the hours of 1
and 6, was the time fixed. At 4 o.
clock the meeting was organized by
calling J.. H. KING to the Chair, and
appointing T. A. MURRAY and AL
ExANDER WARD, Tellers. The
Chairman stated the object of the
meeting. The ballotting then com
menced and the rain began to fall;
the voting and raining continued
for two hours. just 103 votes were
cast, of which Prof. BARNES received
80 and Mr.. CoULTRAP 4. At least
four-fifths of the voters of the dis
trict expressed an opinion on the
subject. We would advise Mr.. G.
TO quit running for School Super
intendent, and heed the advice
once given by the late HORACE
GREELEY, viz: GO west, young
man, and grow up with the coun-
try" Once more all is quiet in our
village.

H RAILROAD.

During the past week we have
asked a number of our merchants
and business men how the railroad
was progressing. We did this Il
learn, il possible, something def.
mite as to the work being done
We are sorry to report that our in.
quiries failed to solicit a favorable
response. Nobody seemed to know
anything about it. One fellow re-
ferred us to that man in the store,
just across the way, and to that
other man over there, etc, until we
became confused to such an extent
that We almost forgot our mission,
We halted at q street corner, sat
upon the curb-stone, and-rested
saw plenty of ,inanimate people sit
ting in front of their business
houses, with hands in their pockets
lest some loose change shonld slip
out of them for the benefit Of the
railroad, and for Macarthur in par
ticular. All were evidently waiting
for customers. The saloons did "a
staving business" but the stores
were "dry."
Having rested q reasonable time
we entered another store, shook
hands with the proprietor, and
talked railroad. Said he was in
favor of the railroad, in favor of
raising the five thousand dollars,
in favor of building up the town,
and-so-forth We asked him why
he didn't get among his fellow
citizens and talk, preach, and pump
railroad into 'em, and have them
"come down" with the needful.
Oh, he didn't have time-was too
b%usy--lots of other fellows had
plenty of time, and they could
easily do it. Well, but they don't
We returned to our humble abode
and arrived at the conclusion that
so long as one person holds back
to have another do the work for
him, just so long will Macarthur be
deprived of q railroad, and nary
"screech' of Il locomotive will
arouse the people from their dor
mant condition.
Even the ministers in their pull
pits, ON last Sabbath, looked de-
iected and "dOwn in the mouth"
for want of confidence in the rail
road. They did expect the road
forthwith, and hoped thereby ia
receive an increase in the number
of nickels as the hat passed round.
But the road isn't built, conse.
quently there + lamentations
loud and deep, for something tt
sustain the church and ministry il
this place ; and, railroad or no rail
road, the members are invited Il
"shell out"
If you want o railroad, you'v,
got to furnish the means to builC
it-otherwise dry up. Talk won
build anything.
Since the above was written W
learn that o movement is on foo
to select a committee to 60 to CO
, lumbus and get permission of tn
members of the Constitutional Cor
vention-the Legislature not bein
in session-to have McArthu
fenced in, and the name Of tn
town stricken from the map Of tn
State. Good.

asserted that tho federation was already pre-
pared; that the country needed no important
changes to adapt II to the federal regimen.
The ancient kingdoms would form the new
states or provinces, ready at once to start
upon their career of local self-government.
The war-cry of the party was Viva Ia Repub-
Roa Federal! The leaders called themselves
Federalists as often as Republicans.
But the sudden and unexpected advent OF
power and its responsibilities exerted upon
these orators and politicians the influence II
has always exerted since organized govern
ments have existed. They thought more OF
preserving the public peace and consolidating
the foundations of the State than they did OF
the name and form which they were to give
to the Republic. But their constituents
appear to think-as constituents are apt
to think-fully much of the form
as of the substance, and seem to observe
with some discomfort the delay which has
occurred in giving the fullest development
to the federal idea. We have seen how the
Federal Republic has been proclaimed at Bar
celona, not waiting for the laggard action OF
the Government and the Assembly. Senior
Figueras has gone to Catalonia to conjure
away this gathering storm. and II Margaii
remains in Madrid as President of the Council
ad interim. The fermentation is evidently
increasing every hour The Radical Depu-
ties from Andalusia-and we must bear In
mind the fact that the Radicals con-
sst of Progresistas and Democrats, and
are therefore presumed to be more con-
servative than the Republicans-have had
meeting to consider the feasibility of setting
on foot federal state government for Anda-
lusia based on free trade and free ports. An
other rumor not well authenticated, states
that there is movement for absolute indie
pendence in Catalonia, and that large num-
Der of provinces will revolt from the authority OF
Madrid unless the federation is proclaimed. All
this will give great offense to the faint-hearted
and will appear like the end of the Revolu-
ton to English opinion and the American
opinion which follows the lead of London
Philistinism. But it is as yet too early to
come to any such conclusion. There is no
reason to fear that chaos will come to the
Peninsula, even if the Federal Republic is
proclaimed, before they are quite ready for it.
