From an Occasional Correspondent
LITTLE Rock, March 3I.-POlitical
demagugues and tricksters, that for so
many years have held high carnival in
Arkansas, are losing their hold of gov
ernment. Ultra men are taking their
proper places in the rear, and the active
and honest conservative element, re-
gardless of past party affiiliation, are
marching to the front. Under the salu-
tary influence of your journal, political
barriers and prejudices, to a great ex-
tent, have been broken down, and the
best men of all parties are cemented to
serve the Commonwealth. The COVER
nor, protected from the unjust assaults
of wicked and designing men, and
properly brought before the people, sug-
gested railroad, financial and other
measures for the consideration of our
parliament, that the people of Arkansas
will surely approve. Especially the far
sighted business men and financieTs
commend the APPEALS policy of re-
lieving the railroads of their indebted
ness to the State. This debt of our pau
periZed roads is now the insurmOunta-
bic barrier to a solution of the railroad
problem. Population is wealth" and
railroads produce both. BY a release of
their obligations to the State, thus Sc
curing their solvency, and affording
means for their equipment and success
full operation, the augmentation of prop
erty values along the line of operated
and projected roads will be quadrupled
in few years, and thus the State be re-
imbursed, and travel and transportation
be facilitated and eheapened.
Never have men labored more zeal
ously to accomplish good results than
our legislative menagerie " during the
last ten days. Many Republicans have
shown that they had the interest of the
people at heart, and have displayed a
most noble desire to relieve the State of
burdensOme laws, and promote economy
and conservatism. These wise men will
not be forgotten by the people, after
Time has put his sickle in among the
days and brought around another elec-
tion. Democrats and Republicans are
now manifesting a most earnest desire
to enact such laws as the necessities and
will of the people demand. By the twelfth
of April, the body will have finished its
lsbOrs, hope, with the plaudits of the
people; Governor Baxter will then be
left to guide the destinies of the people
for two years, without legislative aid or
hindrance.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA man
supposed to be Roscoe, the murderer OF
Goodrich, was arrested here to-day, and
as he thoroughly answers the descrip-
ton given it is supposed that he is the
guilty party. He came here soon after
the murder, and during his stay has
been engaged in an ilegitiInate sale Of
watches. He speaks French, Italian
and Spanish, and expresses entire wiz
lingness to undergo the fullest examina-

A well-known English sportsman, Mr..
Reginald Herbert, who has had little
experience in rowing or sculling for the
last fifteen years, matched himself a few
weeks since to scull from Maidenhead to
Westminster Bridge in twelve hours for
$1,000. He went into training month
ago under Joseph Saddler. On the day
October 10th, he started at a
few minutes before six, and seulled the
whole acknowledgement miles and
three furlongs-in ten hours, two minutes
and nineteen seconds. At the finish
Mr.. Herbert was by no means distressed.
King John of SaxOny, who died on
Tuesday, was doubtless the best Dante
scholar in Europe. He had not only

ages, and especially in their scholastic
theology and metaphysics. His notes

IN the Constitutional Convention,
on last Friday, the following PROPOSE
ton, as an amendment to the cconstitu-
ton on the liquor question, was adopt
ed by a large majority, and will there
fore be voted for" or against by
the people of the State at the next
October election:
"The sale of Intoxicating liquors or mix
ture thereof containing the same, for use
as beverage, shall hereafter be proLib-
tied.
"'The Legislature shall within one year
from the adoption of this constitution en-
act laws with adequate penalties for the
enforcement Of this provision"
This question is very much the same
as the Local Option law passed by the
last Legislature. We re gard the pro-
position as vain and ilIusorv, and that
it will not prove TO have any beneficial
results even if it should be adopted by
a popular vote.

No STATE CHURCH-OFFICIAT. IMPERTI-
NENCE-The Catholic World calls atten-
ton to an abuse which ought long since to
have been stopped. The documents of the
State Department sent.t Congress with the
Presidents message show that several of
our Ministers i'll foreign countries, forget
ting that they represent Government
which has no State church and ought not to
have any sectarian bias, assume IN their
official capacity sectarian character, and
in their public acts and dispatches openly
another. Mr.. F. F. Low, for instance,
Minister in China, advises the State Depart
ment to reject an amendment proposed in
the treaty with China, for the reason that,
in his opinion, this amendment would tend
to facilitate the operations of Roman Cath
Ole missionaries. In the same way Mr..
q. F. Seward, our Consul-General in China,
sends home in despatch an elaborate ar
gument against the Roman Catholic
Church, and Mr.. Thomas H. Nelson writes
from Mexico, reporting the spread of Pro
testantism in that country, as though his
official duties included friendship to one
class of religious opinions and hostility to
every other class.
There is no evidence that these imperti-
nent religiorIsts have ever been rebuked by
the Executive but if the State Depart
ment at Washington We're conducted bv
persons understanding the spirit of our sys-
tenn and respecting the Constitution, all
men would soon be made to understand
that all forms of faith are entitled to equal
respect and protection from the officers of
onr Government, and that in undertaking.
to favor one at the expense of another they
are guilty of an offence against aIl.-N y

the front platform of the car. Mr.. Putnam
saw him peer through the entrance ana
make grimaccs at the ladies, whereupon he
(SIr. p ! closed the door. Foster opened 1t
arain and continued his insults. MIR. Put-
nam again closed the door.
When The car reached Thirtieth street,
Foster came inside and remarking that he
had paid his fare and was entitled toa seat,
and sat down close beside Miss Duyal. lie
then behaved in british manner, and
made a noise with his lips which induced
the young lady to change her seat. Mr.
Putnam then interfcred, and sald althouSh
Foster was entitled to a seat i'll the car, yet
he would not suffer the ladies i'll his charge
to be insulted, and that Foster should be

Foster was arrested, identified by Mr.. Put

out twenty-five hours they, however, re-
commended Foster to mercy. The court OF
appeals affirmed the verdict, and he was
sentenced to be hung on the 7th of this
month, but was respited by Governor Dix,
until to-day.
Yesterday the gallows was erected in the
iail-yard and so near the cell of the con-
demned man that he could hear the ham
mering of the nails and the other noise ia
cident to the terrible work. There have
been previously twelve men hanged upon
this gallows.
Further efforts to have his sentence com
muted having failed, his wife and brother
were with him all day yesterday, and took
their farewell parting last night. 1t was

THE PAGEANT On ST. PATRICK's DAY.
Eight thousand SONS of Ireland last Mon
day showed to their fellow citizens their
love for the memory Of the patron saint of
the Old Country, their attachment to their
adopted country, and their inclination to-
ward law and oIder.
To their grand parade the heavens were
delightfully."- auspicious. For years togcth-
er the 18th Of March has been attended
with inclement weather. On this occasion
the sunlight gildcd the speartops, lit up
the tricolor and the green, and flashed re-

scriptions calculated to excite disquiet, the
stars and stripes were everywhere in the
foreground the modest emerald, with its
golden harp and sunburst, was displayed
only as a memory of the mother soil.
AS 4 civic procession the affair was inn
posing. Every detail showed elaborate
management and careful foresight. Hun
dreds of those in line had followed the red,
white and blue during the late battles of
the rebellion, and more soldior-likc march
in a civic procession could not have been
desired. In the perfectly unbrolIen deco
rum preserved, we saw the effect of the GX-
ample set by the many and well filed ranks
of the temperance societies that III the
Catholic churches nave 50 lately sprung up
So numerous are these associations that
their effect is becoming very widely spread.
Most of the participants i'll this demon
stration had attended divine service in the
early morning. Everything eonspired to
render the occasion enjoyable. The wealth
er was amiablC and the paradPrs We're
cheerful. There was not an unpleasant Oc-
currence to mar the affair. In no respect
either in numbers, in beauty of banners
and decorations, in wealth of flowers and

ALEXANDER CALDWELL, one Of the
members Of the Senate of the United
States from Kansas, has been under
trial before a committee of that body
on the charge that he procured his
election to the Senate by bribery and
corruption. Mr.. Morton, of Indiana,
was the chairman of the committee to
hear and take the testimony, and after
a full examination of the case, and
after having heard all the evidence,
was prepared TO offer a resolution to
expel Caldwell from the Senate on the
proven allegations that he had bought
his way corruptly into that body.
Caldwell took time by the forelock in
view of his certain expulsion, and
wrote the following letter Of resigna-
ton to Henry Wilson, the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and there
fore the Speaker of the Senate:
WASHINGTON, March q.
Hon. Henry Wilson, Vics President Of the
United States:

This is a wholesome example, and
one which is worthy of all commenda-

A WASHINGTON correspondent tells
of curious case that has come to some
members of the Senate. 1t seems that
a New England politician of means ac-
tually held a consultation with mem
Der of Congress of high standing, just
before the late Senatorial election in
Florida, to ascertain whether the vigOr-
Gus course which Senator Morton had
pursued in the Caldwell investigation
was likely to be continued His rea-
son for asking was that he had been
assured from Florida that he could
come down there and for a certain
large sum of money render his election
to the United States Senate certain
He had hesitated about going until he
could learn whether the Senate was
likely to look with favor upon Mr..
Morton's thoroughness. He was adj
vised by the Congressman whom he
consulted not to risk it, whereupon he
declined.
