Especial 10 The Neic York Timcs.l
WAsHINaToN, Feb. IT.
Mr.. Wheeler received dispatch to day from
New Orleans, stating that committee of Conser-
vatve Legislature had left for Washington to re-
new the negotiations for compromise of the po-
ltical disturbances in that State. The dispatch
contains the further information that thirty
members of the Conservative caucus have
signed an agreement to accept the first PROPOSE
ton which was drawn up by Mr.. Wheeler.
Thus far the Conservatives and Democrats
have been responsible for the failure of agree
ment. If the proposition made by Mr.. Wheeler
should be accepted by the majority of the Con
servadve caucus, and should fail afterward be-
cause opposed by Republicans here, the respon
s Utility would, of course, be shifted.

THE EFFECT IN WILMINGTON

No perceptible effect is yet noticeable in Will
mlngton. Tickets are sold to and from this city
as formerly, and no instructions have yet been
given, We are Informed by the agents of the
company here, for a reduction in passenger OF
freight tariffs. 1t is quite probable, however,
that Wilmington will not escape the undercnt-
ting process rs both roads have an opportunity
to bid fer freIgllts westward.

The IkaiIrOud war.

THE BATTLE TO 90 ON TO THE END-So fAvoRs
ASKED or GRANTED -sLAUuurER OF TARIFFS
BEGUN on BOTH SIDES.
The only absolutely new developments in the
war between the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsyl-
wanna Central Railroads yesterday was tho coun-
termovement of the latter in its reduction Of
tariffs to meet similar movement on the part
of the former. Both roads have put ont flaming
posters in Baltimore and other cities inviting
the public to travel at about half the usual
rates, and the ticket agencies of each represent
that they are doing thriving business at the
reduced rates. In this undertaking each
road strikes at the points where it
deems it's rival most aasailable. Thus the Bati-
more and Ohio carries a passenger from Balti-
more to Pittsburg for &c. and the Pennsylvania
road responds by making the fare to Wheeling
&c. and to Newark and GAINESVILLE, Ohio, $40. All
these points are directly on the line of the l3ati
more and Ohio, and to reach them by the Penn
sylvania route passenger has to be carried from
twenty-five to fifty miles further on account of
the deviousness of the route. The reduced rates
announced by the contestants for common points
far the same, but if the struggle continues
Tor any length OF time farther Efforts at under
bidding each other will certainly follow.
The order of the Pennsylvania Company stop
ping the sale of coupon tickets between New
York and Washington by the Baltimore and ONO
road has not, says the Baltimore american, yet
been very strictly enforced, as passengers still
go through each way holding their tickets. 1t is
possible, however, that these coupons were in
the hands of agents and ticket sellers before the
order was issued, and that when the supply is
exhausted no more will be obtainabe. In the
matter of freight rates, the market may be quot
ed as decidedly unsettled and extremely variable
The agents of both companies arc excessively
active and unusually liberal. In fact, shippers
are allowed near approach to full liberty III
their own rates.

Relative TO the reduction of passenger rates
between the East and West by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, the officers of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company inform the Philadel-
phia Ectning Telegraph that they experience no
uneasness whatever. This slaughter of rates,
they say, will not effect the Pennsylvania Rail
road Com 2any AZ much az it will the company
which committed it. and it was said by one of
the pennsylvania Railroad directors that ''time
will witness the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

TIE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in it's course, under no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fcarlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of its duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon its own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardlze, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- dIture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect q degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.
