! La,t NerA We gave IL briet summary OF Tie
/ dolnys Of the Railroad Convention, held at
| Fort smith. July ith. We have not much
more 10 s., further than to impress upon our
propIe She necessity Of having direct north
ern communication with st. Louis. Upon the
completion Of the I. ). Il J.. K. Railroad We,
Of course, viii have communication with st.
Louis by Cairo & Fulton and Iron Mountain
Railroads five want competition in freight
either way We must have northern route.
Thi, northern route il offered by the propo-
sltion of Mr.. II. {. Young His st Louis ana
Mexican cur road Is to be part OF the A d
z. Road, We suppose. This will give us dl-
rect communication north"ard TO st. Louis
This Is What we want. But We desire to be
distinctly understood, that this road Is to run
thro-gh Yah Buren, or Crawford county is
out And we DO not propose TO walt for thi.
road until the Indian Country Is open by the
passag. OF Il Territorial bill, When that bill
Is passed, then these companies viii, In all
probabilities. pass to the westward Of Van
Buren, and thus leave Crawford in the cold.
II Mr.. Young means business, let him make
his proposition tangible. We can do much
and will do all we can-but We don't propose
to be left out in the cold, 10y some scheme
tha. may be adopted to pat the Indian Terri
tory in the shape proposed BY the Oklahoma
bill, aud then have this northern road give us
and Fort Smith the go by We heard Mr..
Ioung's communication TO the Convention
and liked it, but beware of the hug under
the chip" An opening Of the Indian Csun-
try west OF us, may aud most probably does
mean a road west Of 'us, We are hsriecIly
willing to do all We can, bnt we must look
out for No. /. nit i, fully nominated in the
bond that the road Is to pass through Van

From the following from the Herald it will

The Board Of Supervisors

a good move. and we are Of opinion that the
company will not object to having their road
worked and when it i, IN condition as the
charter demands, coiler- toll as before.
We do not know how the charter is. but il

beat Asa Hodges in this county by majority
OF four hundred and sixty, whereas by the re-
turns from the one township his majority
was enly eighty. In making out the proela-
nation in reference to the congressional
election, these facts were fully set forth. A
clerk OF county told me that Fokef JACK ad-
yised him not 10 send in the returns on the
vote TO ratify the constitutional amendment.
| told him if he withheld them he would be
in danger of getting into the penitentiary'
subsequently,, he sent friend to Secretary
johnson and myself TO know II We would
protect tim If he withheld tie returns. we
declined to afford the protection, ana the re-
turns came In. He had been informed there
were letters In that sounty very damaging to
Poker Jack S reputation. He did not doubt
the letters there would damage the reputation
of other men, but doubted If thsy or anything
else could damage Poker Jacks reputation.
lie referred TO another editorial in the same
paper simply for explanation and denial, III
which it is charged that the assassination OF
Mcclure and Oliver was discussed IN my OF
flee. The Memphis Appeal having stated As
a rumOr that ! was to be assaSsinatcd, said
to my friends had no fears of it, but pro-
ceeded to predict ii such thing was to take
place that those men would bite the DUST IN
furty-cight hours. Whatever was said more
than this is an Infamous fal,ehOod, and the
author an infamous liar. Neither Oliver or
Mcclure occupy such place IN my mind Hs
to create any desire to get rid OF them, except
to free the people from their Vaccinations
by wholesome administration of the laws.
He begged to be excused from speaking
further, and to give way for Gen. +. W CAN'T
who could entertain them in more fOrclblc
manner than he.
As the governor retired, three rousing
cheers were given for him.

Strange,

terrible war is being waGcd by Judge Me
Clure ofthe Republican, against Gov. Baxter.
The las, and most bitter article that has ever
appeared in the columns Of that paper, we
find in review Of the speech delivered by
Gov. Baxter at ewisburg on the 18th inst
We think Gov. Baxter made great mistake
when he accepted the invitation 10 make a
speech at Lewisburg and should make no
such speeches anywhere There is certain
dignity appertaining 10 the office Of the Chiei
Executive OF 4 great STATE, that should forbid
its incumbent arpearInga as apolitieal speaker
on the stump. Gov. Baxter Judgment, how
ever, seems different from ours, and his speech
has been made. In this speech some secrets
are told about Poker Jacks part In the shame
tul outrage perpetra,ed upon tho voters Of
Conway county. This, Of course, wakes the
ire Of the aforesaid Jack and in regular Mo-
doe e-fashion lie goes for" EaXters scalp.
Announces his determination to fight on his
political lava bed, until Baxter is "shorn of
power and perhaps sues Tor mercy New
we have always believed much money was
used in the last election, first and last, and
jasture, say. the Convention was bribed by
Dorsey, to the tune of $4,000. Honest peo-
pie will thisk II Mcclure knew this at the
time. as be says he did. he ought to have tod
it then. and not, by flaming editorials led the
honest Republicans throughout the State to
believe Baxter was a worthy man and fairly
chosen chief standard bearer by their trusted
representatives in Convention. He informs
us further that Dorsey put up 100000 of
Central Railroad Bond. to convince members
Of the legislature, that the railroad steal bill
was good thing. We understand Mcclure
has been one OF the most earnest adyo yocatcs of
this same railroad bin. That he has been en-
deavoring through the columns of the Repub-
HcaR newspaper, to convince the people that
the bill lcas Il good thing. If he knew, and he
says lac did, that Dorsey was trying to pass
the bin by bribery and not on It's merits, WHY
did he not Inform his people Of this fact? All
these things and many others, that this con
troyersy between Mcclure and Baxter has
drawn oUt, lead rejecting men to doubt
inuch the truth Of all these charges. Certain.
ly, Mcclure occupies no enyiable position
when lie thus confcsscs his completely with
all this rasraiity. SO far as his quarrel with
Baxter is concerned, We have nuthing to do
with IT, These are OF fittings past, and the Re
publican party have been always insisting
that We should bury the past and accept the
present situation, lfthey now desire 20 fight
over the past, we must beg 10 quote their
teachings and respectfully withdraw from
tho field, We shall only refer to the rich de-
teiopmcnts made in the progress of the quar-.
rel. in order t" convince honest Republicans
of the truth OF what the democratic press has
SO often and repeatedly charged That cor
ruptiOn and bribery have been the lifc Of the
Republican party's power in Arkansas, IT,
however, the issue is finally made between
Baxter and Mcclure, and all Others are out Of
the ring, we sny send him to the wsl Cover
