Southern and Western Combination.

Colonel Forney, Of the Philadelphia
Press, has been spending a few weeks in
Washington city, and furnishing his pa
per with much interesting personal and
political gossip. In late issue of the
Press, it is stated that there is a move=
ment on foot among the Congressman
from the South and West, and also the
Pennsylvania members, for convention
to be held at St. Louis next fall, to take
into consideration the material questions
affecting those sections. The call for the
convention will state that its objects are
to consider the questions of currency,
cheap transportation, and the improve
ment of the Mississippi levees. This is
intended TO be a movement outside and
independent of New England and New
York, which are becoming to be regard
ed by the South and West as antagonis-
tic to their interests. 1t is not expected
that any legislation will be devised at
this season which will meet the demands
of those parts of the country on these
questions, and they propose to make ani-
pie preparation for the next session of
Congress. 1t is held by these gentlemen
that neither New England nor New
York has any interest in them, except
to loan them capital, for which, as
they allege, they demand high rate of
interest. To use their own phrase, they
propose To devise means to take care of
| themselves. In this movement Repub
licans and Democrats are alike united,
| and it is not improbable that before the
close of the present session a call will be
issued for the meeting Of this convention.
1t is intended to have an effect upon the
political convass next fall, and will meet
some time before the November elect

THE WAR In ARKANSAS.
More Fighting Baxter Reinforced
by Two ParrOtt Guns-Prepar-
ations to Shell the CapitOi.

LITTLE Rock, May 13.-There have
been two fights in the streets to-day
About fifty shots were fired, and two non
combatants were badly wounded. AS in
yesterdays engagement, a large number
of women and children were frightened
half to death. Men who can, are send
ing their families away from the accurs-
ed place. In their street battles, nom
combatants are in more danger than the
forces engaged.
The Baxter party got in three cannon
from Texas this morning. They are ar
ranging to shell the State House.
Both parties become more bloodthirs-
ty and defiant each day. The law is pow
erless, and the city divided into two
hostile camps.
Reports from the country represent
the feeling running high, with outrages
and arrests on Both sides. Unless soon
checked, the entire State will be involv-
ed in the worst form of civil war.
ST. LOUIS, May 13-A Little Rock
special to the Evening Dispatch says in
an interview with Governor Baxter to-
day he said in the event of the Legisla-
ture recognizing him as Governor, OF
which he had no doubt, it would advise
President Grant of its action and ask
that the Uuited States authorities COM
pei Brooks to vacate the State House.
If Grant should comply and Brooks re-
fuse, he would take the building by
force, or if the President should delay
and still permit troops here to interfere
as they have been doing he would pro-
tect himself
Baxter's forces have all the advan-
tages in point of men and artillery. They
received last night two Parrott guns
from Texas with plenty of prepared
ammunition. These guns are being put
in position to-day. Baxter also receiv-
ed several new companies last night,
and large supply of ammunition.
The Federals have agreed that here
after they will not interfere with either
party beyond certain limits, which linn
its are outside the thickly settled part OF
the city.
Hereafter neither men nor supplies
will be permitted to enter Brooks quar-
ters without a fight.

The Arkansas War.

The basis of the agreement which had
been determined upon in Washington
for the adjustment of the Arkansas diff
Guilty was, substantially, that both Bax-
ter and Brooks should uhite in a call
convening the Legislature, and disband
their troops, and abide by its decision as
to who is the lawful Governor OF the
State. Baxter is in favor of this plan
for a solution of the question, and prom
ises to peaceably submit to the verdict
of the Legislature. But Brooks Is OPP
posed to it on the alleged ground that
a majority of the Legislature are cor
rupt, and are parisans of Baxter, and
that some Of the members have no legal
right to a seat an the body-that the Su-
preme and Circuit Courts of the State
have decided in his (Brooks'l favor, and
that. though he will not oppose the Ma
tional Government in any action it may
take in the matter, he will resist Baxter
to the last.
This leaves no way by which the war
may be brought to a speedy close, other
than through the prompt interference of
the T.. s. Government. If left free to
act as they please, the Two Governors
would soon involve the people of the
whole State in terrible war.
Two battles and numerous skirmishes
have already occurred between their
forces, and more are hourly expected, as
both sides continue to receive reinforce
ments in large numbers.

The Elections this Fall.

The summer and fall elections are al
ready exciting some attention. Oregon
will lead of, on June first, with fonr
tickets in the field, to wit:-Republican,
Democratic, Grangers', and Temperance.
The State Is Democratic, as general
thing, but as side issues usually operate
against the dominant party the reSalt is
doubtful. North Carolina comes next,
holding its State election in August. 1t
has Republican State officers at present
and Democratic Legislature, SC that
the chance is an even one-but the DEM
ocrats are sanguine of winning victory,
as the contest is likely to be confined to
the two leading parties with the Liber-
ais united with the Democrats. If the
colored men are permitted to vote, with
out, intimidation or coercion, the State
may be carried for the Republican tick
ct. Kentucky holds its election for
State officers on the first Monday il Au-
gust, and will go Democratic as usual.
Maine and Vermont elect State officers
in September, and will probably under
go no political change. Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Nebraska hold their State
elections in October. In these States
the Grangers will hold the balance of
power. Pennsylvania, under the new
Constitution, is enrolled among the
States voting in November, the list in
eluding New York, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wis
consin, Iowa, &C., The currency and the
Granger element will have much to
do with these elections, and from present
indications the labor question will be a
prominent one in the Eastern and Mid
die States. The great struggle between
the two parties will be on Congress,
which the Democrats hope to carry-by
divisions in the Republican ranks, and
by the side Issues which will come up

Close Of the Constitutional COnven-
tiOn.

The Constitutional Convention yes
terday virtually concluded its business.
1t passed upon the last of the articles of
the organic law requiring its considera-
ton, in the adoption of the article on
amendments, providing for the manner
of submission of amendments to the Con-
stitution about to be adopted or rejected,
and the manner of calling the next Con-
stitutional Convention. The session will
probably terminate on Friday of this
week, the only business remaining being
the recording of the three articles adopt
ed yesterday, that of public debt and
works, the Schedule and amendments.
The closing days of the Convention have
not been characterized by the good feel
ing resulting from unanImity among the
delegates. There is much dissatisfaction
with the minority representation scheme
which was adopted, after a.severe strug-
gle, yesterday, By very moderate ma
jority. The Senatorial and Judicial ap-
portionment of the State has contributed
to the general dissatisfaction. Through
out the session the votes on all questions
of general interest have been much clos
er than usual in deliberative bodies, and
haye obtained by light majorities.
There will be final vote on the Con-
stitution as a whole, to-day or to-mor'
EoY, and the final vote on the adoption
of the article on minority representation
-ffty-seYen affirmative-may be re-
garded as a fair test
The new instrument gives liberal
range to the voters of the State; three
modes of election are provided for; the
old method of majority rule; the restrict.
ed, and the cumulative system of suf.
frage. The latter is confined to the coun-
ties Of Hamilton and Cuyahoga, in the
election ofSenators and Representatives
the restricted system applies to the elec'
ton of Judges of the Supreme Court
while the ancient plan of maiorties still
holds for the election of Township
County, and State officers, and Senators
and Representative for the State at large

CRUSADE AGAINST EXTRAvAGANCE.
A woman doctor is lecturing in
Brooklyn, n. Y, to women on the hy-
gienie effects of corsets, CATERS, false hair
and high-heeled shoes. 1t is proposed
to get up crusade against these evils.
Surely the long skirt nuisance should be
included, for as cleanliness is next to
godliness, the nastiness of dragging
skirts should stand first in the list of wo-
man reforms. If sensible women would
get up crusade against extravaganza,
and indeceDcy in female dress it would
aid their cause against whisky. Let
them plant pickets before every fancy
dry goods store, to mark every woman
who stops to look at and to discuss the
new things in the windows, and thus pre-
vent the waste of female time spent in
admiring feathers, and ribbons, and arti-
fetal flowers, and silks and satins and
the thousand and one devices of the de-
vii, by which women are ensnareG and
men ruined.

In these days of foolish display good
word must be said of Miss Stewart,
daughter of Senator Stewart, who was
married in Washington the other night
The bride is one of the most sensible as
we'll as beautiful young ladies in Wash
ington. She cooks, sews, markets for the
family, and is versed in every useful ac-
complishment Her wedding cards,
eschewing the silly custom of the time,
had no monogram. The wedding was
in her fathers house, at an early hour
and was followed by good, old-fashion-
cd dance. There was but one brides
maid, the brides sister. The bridal
trousseau was purchased entirely in
Washington, and every article of it made
at home under the personal supervision
of the bride and her mother. Finally,
the newly welded couple do not make
"tour," but settle down at once to
common sense happiness.

Prof. Patton, the accuser in the Swing
heresy trial at Chicago, is thus hit off
in an editorial in the Chicago Tribune:
"The prosecutor is the very personifca-
tion of theologian, and shows the effect
of prolonged diet of this sort Thin,
spare, wiry, nervous, speetacled, phleg
matte, ferret-eyed, and dry-as-dust, he
looks like one of those tall, thin, hide
bound folios of the fathers, whose prime
ipal Use is to gather dust and afford an
unobstructed medium for the sinuous
course of the bookworm. He is keen,
sharp, and incisive, imperturbable as a
granite wall, apparently cold -blooded as
a frog, and as juiceless as a last October's
oak leaf. Thus far he has been making
bricks without straw; but no one can
help admiring the industry, the pertin-
acity, and the GOODNESS with which he
pursues his thankless task. If it were the
year 1886, he and Calvin would have
made it hot for the Servetuses; but, as it
is the year 1874, he is Calvin shorn of
power" OF Prof. Swing himself, the
same Tribune editorial continues: "The
man whom he is prosecuting evidently
does not languish under the operation
Calm, quiet, and unobtrusive, he is the
last man in Presbytery who would he
suspected by stranger as the defendant
on trial. He rarely utters word, and,
when he does, it is very apt to be some
suggestion which tends to relieve Prof.
Patton in his work of procuring evidence.
His friends are more anxious than he,
and, among them all, no one has aided
him more with quick intelligence, calm
judgment, and clear statement than Prof.
Patterson, the Nestor of Chicago Pres
byterianism. Upon the case itself there
is no comment to be made, inasmuch as
thus far no taint of heresy adheres to
Prof. Swing"

A Correspondent writes as follows of a
celebrated place in Colorado Canon, call
ed Echo Park: "When gun is discharg-
ed, total silence follows the report for a
moment; then with startling suddenness
the echo is heard, seeming at great dis
tance-say five miles to the south
whence it comes back in separate and
distinct reverberations, as if leaping from
glen to glen. Louder and quicker grows
the sound, until apparently directly op-
posite, whena full volume of sound is
returned; then once more the echo is
heard, like the swapping of a cap, far to

The valley of the Tongue river, trib-
utary of the Yellowstone, in Montana,
has hitherto been the unmolested home
of wolves and bears and snakes; but now
it is beginning to resound with human
voices and to be peopled with gold seek
ers. Two months ago somebody brought
eleven buckets full of earth from that
region, which yielded, when washed out,
six dollars and sixty cents worth of gold.
On the strength of this one hundred
men Immediately started for the New
Eldorado, and more than hundred
more have since followed them.
