THE Boston correspondent OF the
New York Il 5i6lne, telling the story OF
Bankss pIucky fight, says that no
such spectacle was ever seen in Massa-
chusetts before; and, judging from the
result Of the experiment, none is likely
to be again for an indefinite period in
the future. The Offlceholders swarmed
into the district. Mr.. Dawes was drawn
down from the hills of Berkshire, and
Mr.. Blaine, with an the prestige of his
national rover and position, was i'm
ported from the east. Never were
greater odds piled up against a csndi-
date. Added to this, money became al
most an embarrassment, so plentiful
was the supply in which it was sent
over. To make assurances dOubly sure,
scores and hundreds were eOlonized into
the navyyard and put to unnecessary
service at government expense. Gene
raj Banks stood up bravely in the face
of all this, and with a majority of four
thousand five hundred votes against
him to overcome, he came out Of the
contest with six thousand five hundred
majority.

TIE first message of Governor Gar
land-a synopsis Of which we publish in
another rcolumn-wi1 meet the approval
Of all eonsiderate and candid mind;
throughout the Union, as a document
that gives full promise Of conduct o.
the government Of Arkansas quite in
accord with the conservative spirit nov
actuating the Democracy Of all the
States. While justly proud Of the recent
triumphs Of the Democratic party, Gov
eraor Garland is very temperate in his
reference TO them, aud gives full assur-
auce to ali the citizens Of his State that
the old policies Of repression and oPpres-
sion havecome to an end, and that here
after there Is guaranteed perfect liberty
aud peace to all, both white and black.
he plants himself squarely, in this re-
gard, upon the eonciliatory platform OF
the APPEAL, and is in full accord with
the Democratic party, not only Of the
southern, but Of all the States Of the
Union. We heartily and sincerely con-
Oratulate Arkansas that at last she has a
constitution, a legislature and COVER
nor Of her choice, and that peace and
oood will has been restored TO her.

THE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald says the overwhelm-
ing Democratic victories have not less
ened the Presidents hopes nor his con-
fdence that he is a necessity to the Re
publican party, and must be renOminat-
ed if that party expects to win at the
next election. Congressman c. L.
Cobb, Of North Carolina, who, when
interviewed several months ago, de-
clined to give q positive opin-
ion, said a few days since that
he was Internationally for third term
for Grant, and should use his best efforts
to increase that sentiment in North Car
olina. The President not only expects
to be renominsted, but is preparing the
way as fast as he can by inaugurating a
new policy toward the sOuth-to wit, a
determination to no longer allow the
southern people to be politically or Off
cislIy Ostracised on account Of their re-
belIious conduct. This explains his fear
less friendship for Colonel Mosby, in the
face of the elections" But his exeellen-
cy is too late with his new policy toward
the south. He hasn't the ghost Of a
chance for a third term.

A BORDER WAR.
Tae Raid on Las AtmOs by Mexican
Robbers, Thieves and HuFderers
Some of the Particulars.

NEW ORLEANS, November l2.-The
special to the Galveston NeGOS giving an
account of the raid on Los Atmos causes
excitement. This decides the question
as to the existence of organized bands
in Mexico to invade Texas. Los Atmos
is about hundred miles from the Rio
Grande. 1t has three or four stores and
a good many inhabitants. Mr.. mGov-
ern, customhouse inspector, is recently
from EdInburg, and says that q party of
raiders were in Headley county about
five days ago. They had bales Of calico
on their horses. They crossed the Rio
Graude between Ediuburg and Ringgold
barracks, ,nesrly one hundred miles from
Guerrero. They were from Matamoras
and other towns on the lower Rio Grand
and not from Guerrero. RecardO Flores
is stealing cotton from this side. Mere
than two weeks since a herder of Claya
and DOrach was captured by land of
robbers. They tied his hands behind
him, his feet under his horses belly, and
turned the horse loose. After grazing
around for twelve hours the horse went
to q rancho and the poor man was re-
leased. The maruders then collected
cattle and drove them into
Mexico. This occurred about
twelve miles south of Brownsville.
Three days since four armed Mexicsns
stopped a United States soldier in the
road about thirty miles above here.
They questioned him and let him go.
A detachment of mounted men was sent
from the camp at Los Rueiss to look for
the Mexicans. The result is not known.
These events speak for themselves, and
they show whether the reported raids
were fabrieations or well-grOuDded warn
ings. The party which robbed Los At
mos intended to have gone to Corpus
Christi if they had a sufficient force.
This was divulged by man who over
heard a conversation in MatamOTas.
The cloud of border war is more lower

Fsyette, Scott and Sullivan-which

swelling Porter's majority to 1879.
There are nine counties yet to hear from
Claiborne, Hancock, Johnson, Cum

Benton and Lake. These, with the
counties only partially heard from, win
no doubt swell Porter's majority to about

forty counties. Maynard will carry only
sixteen or seventeen. Two years ago
Maynard received sO,s75 votes for con-
gresham from the State at large, while

From the Little Rock GaZette,l
THE DIFFERENCE.

From the Little hOck 6aZetlS,l
THE DIFFERENCE.
There was q marked difference yester-
day in the organization Of the two
houses of the legislature, compared to
scenes we have been accustomed to
witness during the past six years. No
passes were required to get in-nO
armed body of military or police had
to be passed through to get into either
hall, and there was no rush for the
speakers chair. The members walked
in quietly, orderly and gentlemanly,
and an organization was perfected with
out the least Jar. What a contrast to
the organization of the last two legisla-
lures!
CAPITAL AND IMMIGRATION WANTED.
Now for Arkansas! Her government
Is now in the hands OF her own people,
peace and quiet reign throughout the
State, and 1t becomes the duty OF all
good citizens to put their shoulders to
the wheel and shove up the State, We
want CAPITAL and immigration, both OF
which can be obtained with proper effort.
With wise legislation the next two years
will be the most prosperous in the his
tory of the State.
WORK, NOT POLITICS, HEREAFTER
The people Of Arkansas have been en-
gagged in political strife for eight years.
They have had no peace in that period.
The first lull-the first real period of
quiet is now being entered upon. We
have had politics dd nduSednl. Now
that peace and quiet once more reign
throughout our borders, we trust we will
have less politics and more earnest work
toward developing the rich resources of
the State.
STATE SCRIP.
The Newport NeaOs says: "The de-
mand for State and county scrip in
creases as the time for paying taxes
draws nearer. We would advise our
readers, one and all, to buy now while
scrip can be had at low figures, as the
tax to be paid is very high-something
near five per cent. II you defer buying
until January, scrip will cost twice the
amount it can be bought for now. Ev-
ery taxpayer should secure his scrip
pow.u Others Of our State cotempora-
ries have noted similar demand. The
INet0s gives the taxpayers good advice,
as the tendency Of scrip will undOubted-
ly be upward from now until the expira-
ton of tax-paying. The present price
of scrip is not the measure OF its true
value, but is the product Of the combined
schemes Of the spectators, the scarcity
of currency, the disturbed condition oi
| the country during the revolutionary
scenes through which we have late
ly been passing, and the fear oi
congressional interpositioD in the az
fairs OF our State, The result of the re-
cent elections In the north and the in
auguration of our new government
have well nigh disappointed these fears.
This fact, with the policy Of discontin-
ulng the issue of Understanding scrip
now entered upon, and the certainty
Of an economical government and an
improved financial policy for the future,
win rapidly increase the value Of the in
terest- bearing scrip now outstanding,
This will be followed by an apprecia.
ton Of all the county scrips, which were
reduced to par with State scrip by the
decision OF the supreme court making
/ the last receivable for county taxes.
