THE 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 fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of it's 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 SUD- port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as its 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 degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.

GENERAL sHERIDAN's REMOVAL IN
 1867.
 But there is another fact or another circumstance in this line of thought, a great fact, as I con ceive it, and that is in 1867 Gen eral Sheridan was in command of the Fifth Military District, as it was called at that time. In con- sequence of his mismanagement of that district he produced so much dissatisfaction and such was his officious interference, and such were his oppressive acts, that there was one general vail, one unanimous murmur came up from that section of the coun- try, and that was for his removal. He was removed from the com mand. I merely refer to this fact to show that these parties now engaged in the work of usurpa- tion, in the work of tyranny, in the work of violating the organic law of the land, that it is not a new thing to them. In conse- quence of this vail that came up from the people, it was determin- ed by the President then that this man should be removed, and his removal was ordered. In the or der dated August 26, 1867, it was stated that Major General P. H. Sheridan will at once turn over his present command to the off cer next in rank to himself, and proceed without delay to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and relieve
 
 General Winfield s. Hancock, in command of the Department of the Missouri, and General Geo. P. Thomas will take command in his place. This order was after ward changed, and General Han cock sent to take command of the Department of Louisiana on ac count of the indisposition and sickness of General Thomas. It will be remembered, know, by most persons, and especially by Senators here, that when General Hancock took command some of the persons who had been remov- ed from office by General Sheridan were reinstated, that peace and quiet were restored, general satis- faction was given and General Hancock, in an order addressed to the people of that State, laid down the true dividing line be- tween military and civil supre- macy.
 JOHNSON JUsTIFIEs HIS PREsIDEN-
 HAL POLICY.
 When this order was made, there sprung up controversy be- tween the Executive and the Gen. eral of the army, the latter protest ing against the removal of Gener- al Sheridan, saying he was a very popular man and was following the will ofthe people; but notwith- standing this assertion, which was mere assertion, he was not rein stated. At that time the people of Louisiana appeared to be in a disturbed condition and most of the antagonism seems to have re- suited from General Sheridan s management. Ilc rendered him

Romance Of the War.

THE attention of Col Edward F. Bishop,
Clerk of the District Court of this Judi
cial district, was yesterday called to the
following newspaper paragraph:
"There is in Macon, Ca, sword cap
tured during the war, which the owner, if
living, would be probably very glad to
recover. 1t bears the following inscrip-
ton: Presented to Adjt. E. F. Bishop,
9th Regiment Illinois Volunteers, Sept.
2, 1862 1t is possible that the first initial
may be an instead of an E. If any Hi
nois soldier lost sword during the war
which answers the above description he
can ascertain its whereabouts by applying
to the editor of the Macon Telegraph. The
gentleman who has it III his possession is
perfectly willing to restore it to its owner,
especially as the inscription indicates as
ISOLATION which may make it specially
valuable"
The Colonel lost the sword men
toned at the five days battle Of Stone
River, or Murfreesboro. During the pre-
ceding night the enemy, under Bragg,
massed heavily on the front Of his divis-
ion (Maj. Gen. Johnson'sl, which occu-
pied the extreme right Of the Union army,
and at daylight opened heavily with small
arms and artillery.
The Colonel had just finished his break
fast, and was reclining on the ground
with his sword-be around him, but un-
buckled, when the enemy opened sudden
ly. Without stopping to buckle his sword
he sprang to his horse and to the front of
his regiment where he was soon after shot
in the head and left for dead, but awak-
ened in the enemy's lines and soon after
ward escaped. The sword and sash, with
his horse, saddle and bride, were pre-
sented to him by some of the citizens and
friends in Chicago. He will at once write
to the editor referred to, and when he re-
ceives his sword, among the most pleasant
"reminiscences connected with its singular
history will be the courtesy and kindness
of q brother American in returning it

Interesting Town.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Boston Journal
writes: A few miles away from Shelter
Island, on the eastern end of Long Island,
lies the ancient town of East Hampton.
1t consists of one long street, on which
were formerly the houses, the old church
and two burying grounds, one at each end
Of the town, laid out in the form of
coffin. The people were buried in the
middle of the street, with their faces to-
ward the west But one tombstone faces
the east, and that is over the grave of the
old minister, Rev. Mr.. James, He Or
dered his friends to bury him in that posi-
ton that he might face his congregation in
the resurrection. This fact is recorded on
his tombstone The old Beecher man
sion remains as it did in the early years of
Lyman Beecher's ministry. 1t is a large
sized, two-story mansion, end to the street,
the sides covered with shingles after the
old manner. But internally it is entirely
changed The door is in the center of the
house. and the right-hand lower room was

dwelling, evidently older than the minis
try of DR.. Beecher. Near this house is
the dwelling of J. Howard Paine, who
wrote " Home, Sweet Home" He was
born in the town, educated in the academy,
and wrote his celebrated lines i'll the
dwelling, which still remains. 1t is an
old-fashioned wooden building, the walls
of the parlor being ceiled, and an ancient
buffet, carved, occupies a corner of the
room. Nobody seems to know anything
about Mr.. Paine, what room he wrote in,
or anything Of the circumstances connect
ed with his early or later years. Had he
been born, or had he lived, in Kamtchat-
ka he would not have been any more a
stranger to his native place than he is now
Talmage has his summer residence in this
town. 1t is plain cottage in sight of the
ocean, without a shade-tree or shrub any
where around it. The house was built by
his brother in-law. The ocean view is a
fine one from the house, but the deserts of
Sahara are scarcely more desolate.

Four Million Horse Power from COf'
fee-MiIl.

MANY years ago a civil engineer sug-
gested to the French Academy the posi-
bility of submarine railroads, claiming
that at a certain depth in the ocean, beyond
the reach or influence of storms, the water
is so dense that nothing OF tubular form
can possibly sink. His idea then was to
construct a double-track railroad across
the Atlantic Ocean through circular tun-
mel fioated at this depth, and send trains
laundering back and forth, to the conster-
nation of the big fish and mortal terror OF
the little ones. But there was one insur-
mountable obstacle to the success of this
grand enterprise at that time, which was
suffocate the occupants of the train in that
close, dark and alright tube. The adve-
cate of this railroad cable claimed that,
this difficulty being removed, there could
not be doubt as to the success of the I'M
dertaking, and all that was necessary was
enough capital to construct the novel work.
Since smOke-cOnsuming engines have been
invented the only scientific drawback to
the construction of railroad to Europe
has been removed But now we have
the solution of the problem, which
leaves no excuse why a submarine rail
way should not be the enterprise OF the
near future. The key to the French engi-
neers dream has been discOvered-the
Keely motor. There you are. A piece OF
machinery about the size of a cotfee-mill,
with one teaspoonful ofwater administered
once year, or less frequently if you hap
pen to forget it, and you have four million
horsepower continually on hand. No
smoke, no vapor, no bowling and screech-
ing of steam, no beating the atmosphere
from here to Europe with tons of coal.
Just spit in little iron cylinder, if water
is not handy, and leave the brakeman to
do the rest. Now is the time for that
French engineer to come forward He
was too fast for his age, but the age has
caught up with him. All that is wanted
now is the tunnel and the railroad track.
which will require some capital. And
Just to dream, in this hot weather, of fly
ing like streak of lightning under the
waters OF the ocean, through a cool, COM
Portable tunnel 5000 miles long, in palace
cars, rocking dreamily with the motion OF
those floating pipes! The idea reconciles
us to summer and cools us like an iced
drink.-B0LtSan0re Neacs.

Forgetting Names.

THERE are Northumberland instances
of persons who suddenly found that they
could not remember their own names. An
ambassador at St. Petersburg was once in
this case when calling at a house where
he was not known by the servants, and he
had to apply to his companion for the nee
essary information. The names of COM
mon things are sometimes strangely for
gotten. The wife Of an eminent iurist
who consulted DR.. Trousseau, of Paris,
told him that her husband would say to
her: "Give me my--my-dear me! my
you know" and he would point to his
head. Your hat?" "Yes, my hat :"
Sometimes, again, he would ring the
bell before going out, and say to the
servants: "Give me my um-umbrel
-umbrel, oh, DEAR" Your umbrella?"
"Oh, yes; my umbrella" And yet at
that very time his conversation was as SEN
s1ble as ever. He wrote or read of, or dis
cussed, most difficult points of law. A pa
tient will often use form of circumlOcu-
tion to express his meaning; thus one man
who could not remember scissors would
say: 1t is what we cut with. "-Popatlar

Thirteen Black Dogs.

LAST evening nineteen beef-cattle came
over the covered bridge from West Troy.
They were in charge Of two boys and four
dogs-big and unclean, and one of them
was yellow. The boys were armed with
long sticks, stolen from lumber pile. As
the procession entered King street ten city
dogs, with tails alOft and ears elevated,
ran after the country dogs, and they halted.
The ten visiting dogs were black, and
three Of the country dogs were black,
which made exactly a bakers dozen of
black dogs. They kicked up an impromptu
fight in about forty seconds, which alarmed
the cattle, and with one accord they bowed
down their heads and advanced on the
quarrelsome CANNES. A short, quick, up
ward jerk Of the beeves' necks and the
atmosphere was full of dogs, kicking and
bowling and paving in the air. Some
came down on their backs, some on their
sides and some on their heads. One dog
landed on an awning and rolled off like a
keg Of nails, souse into q tub Of water
where youth had been bathing some ice.
The dog fight was over, and each cur
crawled or limped home as best he could
