Frank Flynn Makes Desperate Assault
Upon Deputy Sheriff Kinnehan.

The cause which led to this terrible affair

communication to the Chicago Street Gazette,

accused Al. Burtis of doing it, and on Thurs
day night proceeded to the gambling rooms
of Bnrtis. which are over the st. Louis saloon
and broke up all the games going on there
by throwing the " chip about the loor over
turning chairs, and engaging in other amuse-
ments. Mr.. Kinn-han was called in to pre-
serve the peace when some very harsh words
passed between them, resulting in tlynn's ar
rest by kinnehah, for carrying concealed
weapons. He was brought before Justice
Smith on Friday, but. by some quibble oflaw
the case was postponed to another day. Mat
ters rested at this point until last night. when
the parties met at the Hot Springs hotel bar
when words again passed between them and
they were standing very near to each other

numberof cotton gins. We respectfully sng-

be OF interest to gather the statistics of the
several counties in this matter, and furnish
1t to Col. G. L. Dodge. The number of steam
engines. horse powers. and water in use.

Long Winter Evenings.

We noticed in the late proceedings of the
Grand Council of Temperance Reform. at
Van Durcn, the following Resolution, adopt
ed by that body:
"That AN invitation bs and hereby is ex-
tended to the Committee on Programme OF
Harmony Council, at Van Buren. to arrange
for a series Of Entertainments for the benefit
of this Grand Council. the proceeds thereof.
after deducting expenses to 90 towards pay
ing the debts due by this Grant Council"
In publishing the foregoing we take occa-
sion to say that there is good deal of dra-
matte. as well as other, talent in Harmony
Council aud quite a number of the young
ladies and gentlemen perform their histrionic
roles to degree Of perfection. Their repre-
scntations here and AT Fort Smith-aEways
for benevolent purposc-hxve been remark
ably crcditable, and elected the warmest ap-
plause We feel quite sure that those of our
citizens who have had the pleasure of witness
ing the performances Of these amateurs
would be happy to see them again on the

The UpDer Arkansas,

Our recent article. giving an account Of the
trip of party Of gentleman from Arkansas
City, In Kansas has attracted considerable
attention throughout the State. We hope the
legislature. at Its present session. will have
time to give this matter little attention. The
Lswisburg State, referring to it, says;

Gov. Garland's Visit to Augusta.
[Aasnsta Bulletin j

Escorted to the Woodruffhotel the Govern
or was left to enjoy the pleasant hospitalites
OF Col. j. l.. Barnes until after supper. About
O'clock the cornet band gave him a delight
!ul serenade after which he was formally and
cordially welcomed to the hospitalities and
hearts OF our citizens. He responded IN brief
and courteous terms but excused himself from
making speech, as he was fatigued and
would have the pleasure Of addressing them
on Wednesday.
WEDNESDAY
BY II o'clock the Fair grounds were pretty
well filled, as there was much interest felt by
many to see Il backwoodsman of this frontier
State. who. IN April and May of 1874. had
taught President Grant and his Attorney
General, Williams, some valuable lessons in
telegraphic statesmanship; for 1t is SAID
Grant has always confessed that BaXter's
tsegrap phic strategy and its results gave him
more modification than anything in Lonisi-
ana, Mississippi or Texas. Like many others,
he had concluded that Arkansas had neither
virtue nor intelligence. Our people all re-
member what part Garland played in those
thirty dark days. when hours seemed days
and days seemed years. and when the mes
sages passing between Washington and Little
Rock were watched by our people with the
eager anxiety with which the despairing
mother watches the cotntenance Of the ply
siciaa when he lays his fingers upon the fiut-
tering pulse of her sick child. OF course. our
people were anxious to see the Moses who had
led them ont OF the wilderness.
AT II M W p. Morris. the President of the
Agricultural society, gracefully introduced
Gov. Garland to the audierce, in a few and
handsome words. and we but exp press the uni
versal sentiments that. in broad and compre-
hensive views. and chast. yet forcible style,
the Governors address YVES all that his most
ardent admirers a. Gff9is could have antici-
patsd. Our limit -, I'D any synof s OF it..
lie spoke of agrieultRe AS the basis of all
other prosperity ; and enlarged in lucid and
fercible terms upon the grand results to flow
from union and hearty co operation of labor
and capital impellcd by energy and enter
prise and guided by educated intelligence.
Suffice II to say. now, that such a speech
was worthy Of the man. the Governor and the
occasion. and is literally full of thought, in
every paragraph. We trust the officers of the
association will procure a copy for pubica-
tion.
After the speech. dinner was announced
and at least one thousand people fed beunti-
fully from the tables that literally groansd
under the many and rich viands so profusely
provided
AT night the Governor was the guest of the
ball committee, and spent several pleasant
girls; and thus was up later than a Governor
or I hurried man ought to be. During his
stay, he enjoyed the hospitalities of Messrs
Ma tin. Garland and Price, and left for home
early on Friday morning via Russell.

INITIATION.

From one end of our broad land to the
other--from the east to the west, north
To the soulh---ihere comes a continuous
and unmstlkable outcry against the infa
my and unpolicy of imitation. Almost
ever, democratic convention tor years
ia the past, has warred against the in
crease of the currency, believing it calcu
lated to decrease it's value The defeat
of the democracy in Ohio. was owing
to the unsound and untenable position
which it took upon the financial question,
and ii settles, beyond all doubt, the fate of
any party that shall take similar stand.
The matter we consider finally and ire
vocably settled, aud the one great lesson
which the democratic party must learn
from the result is, that there are other
and more important issues with which the
people are more directly interested than
the currency question.
The great effort of the democracy in
the next presidential campaign must be
directed against the diabolieal corrup-
ton OF radicalism. Opposition to the
usurpaton Of power by the executive;
denunciation of military despotism, and
the subservicnce of the military to the
civil authority; the right of the states
to manage their own affairs without the
interference of the governments; the army
and its officers the servants of the gov
ernment not its masters; the rights of the
South, under the federal government, to
the same privileges as the north no
third term for the presidency; every
one to be protected in his civil and re.
lgious liberty: military despets not fit
for presidents of a republic; these are to
be the missiles which, when hurled at the
stron.holds Of republicanism, shall level
them to the earth.
With this plan Of attack, and with ali
enemy willy aud sagacious, we shall have
no time TO consider any innovations. We
have line Of action before us, and If we
would win in the fight, we must do all
we can to sustain it, and allow nothing
TO be done that can impair its strength
or detract from the accomplishment of
its aim Let us have no side issues, but
wage an unrelenting warfare against the
vice, the iniquity, and the degrading. de
babsing. and iryedeemablc diabolsm of
radicalism. We have no time to waste in
triAes, when from all the land comes the
cry, Deliver, oh, deliver us, from the
grasp Of slIis political demon!' Away
with the imitation of the currency dodge
1t will take care of itself. Our duty, at
present, is to make fight against political
corruption, Then forgetting all else, let
us to the task, determined upon its &C
complishment.
