But under the present system the governor

Fort Smith Is peculiarly unfortunate IN To-
cation. Eighty miles to the west Of us il

towns and cities on its way, aud Withdrawing
millions Of dollars from the former trade of
Fort Smith.
The only road that promises ANYTHING for
Us, il the l.. X. & +. s. Il. Il and we cannot
see as tina: is very cheering. This road is COM
pleted from Little Rock to Clarks,i lille, n dis
tancc of 100 miles. The road bed is nearly
completed from that place to Van Buren with
the exception of two cuts through the noun
tains back of Ozark. The probabilities are
that no more work will be done by this road
until fall, then unless the counties OF Craw-
ford Sebastian, Franklin and johnson show
a disposition to come down right libcrally.
When it is extended it will come as far rs
Van Buren, and we predict will never eros.
the river unless Fort Smith bridges IL, which
she Is unable to do. The effect OF the road
coming to Van Buren will be to transfer near
" all the supply " trade from Fort Smith TO
Van Buren,
Instead of gassious proclamations and pub
lie meetings where men only air their rhsto-
rlc. the business men of Fort Smith should or
ganize ana hy piedgiRg a sufficient amount OF
moaey bring the railroad here. No other
course will avail, and even if II shall cost

in two years in the matter of reduced freights
Unless something foHgiJle is put on foot that
means business, Fort Smith is dead past re-
dempiion.

The Massacre of the Hodocs.

The St. Louis Republican expresses
our sentiments on the brutal massa-
ere OF a portion of unarmed and chained
Modocs, as follows:
If the Moiocs have not given us more
trouble than any other tribe OF Indians
that ever numbered the continent, they
have certainty been the cause of more
disgrace to the national character. The
miserable treachery of Capt Wright was
in itself an inefraceable blot; the three
defeats Of our troops by Capt. Jack were
decidedly damaging to the prestige oil
the army the employment of Modoc
traiters-whom we expect to hang Wheh
done with them--to catch Jack and his
faithful few, did not improve the record;
and now the massacre OF helpless prison
ers, caps the climax of shame
We have no desire to dwell upon the
details Of the terrible story told in our
kilograms OF yesterday. Enough to say
that an act Of more brutal barbarism was
never perpetrated, and that the responsi-
bility of this act must rest, indirectly at
least, upon the United States govern
ment. 1t was the plain duty its agent,
Gen Davis, to provide his prisoners with
a suitable escort for their protection he
knew, or might have known, that the
Oregon volunteers would think they were
doing God service by killing the Modocs
at sight without regard to age or sex,
and he should have taken precautions ac-
cordinglv Instead of this he allowed
them to start with no better guard than
squad Of unarmed teamsters, and the Or
egon heroes followed and slaughtered
them as a matter Of course. We trust
Gen Davis will be held to strict account
for his share in this transaction. but
meanwhile the government should move
promptly and vigorous in another dirsc-
ton.
The ruflians who shot these prisoners
are guilty of deliberate and cowardly
murder, without palliation or excuse
They must be caught, tried, convicted
and punished. They can be caught if
the federal authorities use half the dill
genee which has been expended in catch
ing the murderers Of Candy and Thomas
and q military commission is the only
tribunal which need pass upon their case.
To allow them to be tried by a Califor
MIA or Oregon jury would he as foolish
as to let Capt Jacks fate depend upon
jury of Modocs And until these white
assassins are brought to justice the gov
ernment may as well grant Jack and his
fellow-sceIndrels a reprieve, President
Grants action in the premises will be
anxiousIy awaited.

Z, RICf, for valuable Public Documents

eS" The little Rock ChroHicie comments
as follows ON the dispatches Of Senators Clay
con and Dorsey to Gov. Baxter, which we pub

Baxter That Of our young fieRd j. Henry

One would think from the manifest glce of

The Governor deserves no extraordinary
praise for doing his duty. 1t is an obligation
due him to the people of the state to make
none but the very best selections for posi-
tions in his gift, and that without being com
plimented for 40 doing. Let Gov. Baxter but
