People were "snow bounds
few days last week, but are all right
at the present writing.
-Heman Dodge, Of Hudson, 10
now proprietor of the Poor Farm
John Mcmahon is teaching
school in the Loring district.
j. B. Selleck started q few
days ago for the Pacific coast. He
expects to 60 directly to San Fran
cisco, thence north by water to Van
couver's Island.
Holidays passed off very quietly,
and there were scarcely any family
gatherings or celebrations of any
kind in the vicinity.
The schools here were sus-
pended during the cold weather Of
last week.
Business is dull; times are
hard; and every class of people
seem to be financially depressed
except ministers and justices of the
peace.
John Hamilton killed two fine
shotes q few days ago, eight months
old, weighing 276 and ga lbs, res
pectively.
The horses, with but few ex-
ceptions, are able to work. John
Barnard has quite valuable horse
which has been sick with the cpl
zootic for some time, and which
seems quite likely to die.
The gentle freeze which passed
through here on Wednesday of last
week, and played with the snow 80
lively, seemed, for a time, to indi-
cate unsettled weather, but its mild
whispers soon subsidized and we
found oar apprehenslons were
groundless.
Benjamin Eimberlake and fam.
lily have left the farm and moved
into River Falls. Mr.. Timberlake
has been thriving and enterpris--
ing farmer, as well as an excellent
citizen, and will be missed by the
community. But he has got son,
Richard, who has lately emerged
from the dry monotony of single
life into The joyful realities of mat
.rimonlal bliss, and he will have
charge of the farm. "None thrive
so well as those who settled be. as
poor Richard says"
There was social gathering
at Lyman Loring's on last Saturday
evening. Several couple were
present from River Falls, and a Jolly
good time was the inevitable con-
sequence. The entertainment con-
sisted Of music, games of all kinds
innocent ana amuslngb while THOSE
who chose, '@tripped the light fantas-
tic toe" in the kitchen. For two
or three hours the old oaken floor
rang with the music Of flying feet,
and those particularly distinguished
for graceful motions made fun for
the crowd. Warren Walsingham

in manner which reflected great
credit upon them, and challenged
the most profound respect and admi-
ration of all present. The party
broke up about II, P. NJ, when all
went to their respective homes,
with feelings Of intense satisfaction
and a firm resolution, at some future
time, to call again. The nd folks
seemed to enjoy the exercises, and
almost fancied they were young
again.

The republican split in Arkansas yes
terday assumed definite form. For two
months past Messrs. Brooks, Clayton,
Mcclure, Yonley h Co. have been agitating
for the removal of Governor Baxter, their
principal object being to replace him PRO tenn.
by Lieutenant Governor Smith, who is alleged
to be much more pliable for general political
purposes Baxter took the alarm sounded by
the friends of the above-named clique some
three weeks since, turned out the old officers
who were known to be in sympathy with his
opponents, reorganized the militia, appoint
ing new heads Of departments, placed guard
on duty at the Capitol and placed himself on
the defensive in such definite and deter
mined manner that for the nonce the clique
gave way and abandoned their project until
a more favorable opportunity should be pre-
sented. The Governor had SO organized the
State forces that within few hours, it
was stated, he could have called twenty
thousand men to the Capitol to defend
him and maintain order. When it was dis
power in which the Legislature had con-
tirmed him the Clayton clique pretended that
the whole matter was gigantic joke and that
Baxter was acting on the fears Of a nervous
man. Subsequently the sentinels were with
drawn from the Capitol and the Governor re-
turned to his home. No sooner had quiet
began to reign again than the Attorney Cen
eral reopens the coke before the full Bench
of the Supreme Court and now applies for the
much talked-of writ Of quo aOarra,ao on the
ground that Baxter is nothing but q usurper
in the Executive chair. According to our
special despatch elsewhere the writ may pos
sibly be granted, and then we may expect to
see another reign of terror in that unhappy
State. If Baxter refuses to recognize the
authority of the Court and the latter persists
in serving the writ there must of necessity be

blood throughout the State. Anything but
that should be accepted as choice of evils by
whites and blacks, not only in Louisiana, but
throughout the South. The idea which was
universal among the Southern whites under
the institution Of negro slavery, that the two
races on footing of political equality, can
not live together, is not yet extinct; but it is
fading away. The black Republic of Liberia
owes existence to this idea. Henry Clay de-
voted the best energies of many years to the
African Colonization Society, in view OF the
ultimate restoration to Africa of our black
population with the abolition of slavery, be-
cause he was satisfied that, in the
mass, whites and blacks could not here
exist together in peace. except as
similar convictions, looking to the abolition
of slavery, thought that the Central American
States offered more convenient asylum to
our colored people than the distant colony of
Liberia; but the fifteenth amendment has
practically solved the problem against both
Liberia and Central America. for the idea
that the destiny of the two races in this coun-
try is 'indissolubly united now prevails
through all our Southern States.
A paramount duty, then, resting upon the
controlling white elements of the South, is the
duty suggested by Mr.. McEnery in the cult
walton OF relations Of good will and mutual
confidence between whites and blacks I'm
principled carpet-baggers have done world
Of mischief in their efforts to establish dis
tinct political party of the blacks against the
whites. The Ku Klux Khan (now it is to be
hoped extincD did much mischief for time
in its senseless political prosecutions of the
blacks. Henceiorward the leading white cit-
zens of the South should exert themselves
to harmonize the two races politi-
cally, upon the broad ground that
their material interests are blended, and that
political organizations in the distinction Of
color are not needed and are worse than USE
less for the maintenance of the fifteenth
amendment. From Delaware to Texas we are
glad to perceive the tendencies of the influen-
tial whites in this direction. Rebel disabilities
kept leading Southern men since the war
too much in the background. Their disa-
bilities are now SO far removed, and their
political future is SO clearly indicated in the
Union, that they have no longer an apology for
Indifference to the political affairs of their
respective States. The case Of Louisiana as
it stands, may not be an encouraging example
of Southern restoration; but the only safety to
the disappointed party, even in Louisiana, is
submission to the powers that be, and ON
appeal for all grievances to the sovereign
tribunal of the people.

Our NEWS of this morning goes to show that
the republican government of Spain is likely
after all to find itself strong enough to put down
the Carlists. On Saturdays battle was fought
in the province of Barcelona, in which the
Carlists, led by Tristany and Don Alfonso,
were completely defeated. After a fight
which lasted several hours the Carlists fled,
the government troops pursuing them as far
as Monistrol de Caldens. According to an
other despatch General Nouvillas, with twelve
thousand men, holds all the mountain passes
In Biscay, and is driving the Carlists in that
province towards the coast. 1t is stated also,
1p the best authority, that in Barcelona, the
great stronghold Of the federal republicans,
the various republican factions have sunk
their distinctive views and formed common
union against the monarchists. With all
these facts before US it is not wonderful that
the Carlists begin to show signs of democrat
ization. Dorregaray has hitherto enjoyed the
reputation of being one of the ablest, as he
was one of the most fearless Of the Carlist
commanders. 1t now appears that, in conse-
quence of recent defeats, Dorregaray has been
deprived of his command. For the moment
it must be admitted that the government
troops are master of the situation. In day
or two we shall know the character and COM
position of the Constituent Cortes. Mean
while it Is safe to say that the opening speech
of President Figueras was confident that the
election of Orense as President Of the Cortes
revealed republican strength, and that the
victories Of the government troops inspired

scalped if 1t only gave HIM the oppoG.
tunity to crave mercy for red-skinned muir
derer. We look at the matter in different
light. The difficulty of carrying out
the famous determination order of the
President in its first form has been commented
on in these columns; but we see no reason
why the fact that the Indians surrendered
rather than be shot should prevent them from
being hanged. The form Of law may be neces-
sary; but the murdersrs of the settlers on the
Lost River. of General Candy, DR.. Thomas and
long list Of officers and men of the army, as
well as other citizens, should and must meet
their fate at the hangman's hands. The
example of the repeated victories of the
Modocs over our troops has already been
far West, and any mistaken leniency at
this moment would, in all human
probability. involve us in a dozen such wars
as the one just concluded. BY every title of
ownership the surrendered Modocs belong to
the gallows. Neither the fact that they are
ruffians of the deepest dye, nor that they look
picturesque when they are captured, nor that
the tribe set up a plea Of emotional insanity
for Captain Jack in advance of his trial,
do we regard as mitigating circumstances
The thrashing given the thieving Kickapoos,
the punishment melted out by General Crook
to the Apaches and the hunt of the Modocs by
General Davis are instances of the proper
mode Of keeping the Indians in awe. The
hanging of every buck among the surrendered
Modocs will strike wholesome terror into the
Indians on the verge of revolt in the West,
and will be the only atonement accepted by
the people Of the United States for the crimes
Of the fierce savages.

post. BUT there Is something wanting to q
race course that even the presence of wealth
and fashion cannot give before the enjoyment
can be gathered in its plentitude- that is, the
presence of the motley '.million." There are
necessary pauses between the ''events'' of the
day. The turtle proper-horse owner, jockey,
pool seller, pool buyer or betting man
knows how to fill the pause with JOY. The
immense majority of those who 60 to the
races are not of the turtles. For them
the wait is tedious. The wave of excite
ment recedes, and dismal blank too often
follows at Jerome Park The scene becomes
but little removed from the calm of Summer
landscape under the most favorable weather
circumstances. The varied life, the changing
incident, the Kaleidoscope filing in Of
the picture, that can only come of the null
titude, are wanting, and all because the public
must pay to enter the precincts sacred to jockey
dom. There is something painfully comic in
the struggling group of Westchester folk that
perch themselves on the bluffs outside Jerome
Park, like hungry Israelites looking down on
the promised land. Why cannot the gates be
thrown open and the million allowed to enter
free? There may be an ample holy of holes
reserved for the Club and its fair ones; the
thousands who would pay for goodly places
could be accommodated still, and the great
heart Of Gotham's humanity pulsating merrily
around would make the gathering at Jerome
Park what it should be, the national horse
festival of America. This it cannot be with
out the presence Of all classes. The race for
the Derby at Epson, in England, would not
have its worldwide fame if the admission to
the famous Downs was as low as sixpence a
head
We understand that Monmouth Park will be
thrown open free to whoever lists in the coming
meeting. It would surely be wise of the
Jockey Club to take this one great step towards
popularizing their useful hobby Of improving
the breed of horses in America. The events
at the meeting on Saturday next will well
repay visit, and we may close in wishing all
who travel thither fine weather and good
sport
