RUNAWAY - Narrow Escape. - Last
evening horse attached to buggy, in
which were seated Misses Lot Hcrvcy
and Kate Wise, and DR.. Harvey, ran OF
on the Island, throwing the occupants Of
the buggy out upon the street. The
runaway was caused in this way: While
driving along Virginia street, coming
this way, one of the sprin.s of the buggy
snapped and broke, making such a loud
noise that it scared the horse so bad " that
he ran off. The animal had not proceeded
far when he ran against tree on the
sidewalk. The shock threw the occU-
pants out upon the pavement with great
violence. The top of the buggy was
severed from the vehicle, and the horse
continued across the bridge, and was
caught ut the Grant House corner. The
two young ladies were picked up and
carried to house for treatment and il
was thought at first that they were dan
gerously injured, but fortunately it turn
ell out that they were more frightened
than hurt. DR.. Harvey escaped with
slight bruises. The entire party made Il
narrow escape from being killed

CONFEDERATES IN CON.
 GRESS.

The fact that a goodly number of Confederate generals have been elected to the next Congress is a source of great modification to many of the loud-screeching, tru- iy loyal sons of the north.
 We presume this class will join in with the Winnebago heathens and raise their hands in holy hor- TOT at the speech lately delivered by Senator Newton Booth, of Cal ifornia. They are totally incom- petent to appreciate the noble sen timent and sound sense of Sena- tor Booths speech, which con cludes as follows:
 "But they tell us that great many rebel generals have been elected to the next congress. Why should they not be? When the government amnested them did it mean to say: "We restore your rights, but you shall never enjoy them" When they take their seats in congress it will be with an oath to support the con stitution of the United States. l do not believe that the men who are willing to die for their convic- tions will be most ready to pur- jure themselves for place. Par ties are but necessary evils. There are great moments in a na- tiop's life when the times should rise above them. Why may not the true spirit of the people have way? This is the centennial year. Let it be "year ofJubi- lee." Before us is grand out look of history. Who shall esti- mate the power and population of this country at the close of the century now dawning if we, the people, are equal to the divine opportunity? Who knows what trials may await us, what tempta- tions may beset? Let us chal- lenge destiny as one people. Let us have the only union which can be permanent---a union of hearts.

NORMAL CONTEMPORARIES
 TO THE A. l.. U.

Through the kindness of our good friend, Robt. w. Moses, County Supt. of Public Instruc- tion, we are permitted to publish a circular letter addressed to him from N. P. Gates, Principal Nor nal Dept. A. I. U., in relation to the appointment of Normal Bene- ficiaries to that institution.
 In our issue of last week we stated that this matter was entire ly within the control of the Board of Trustees of that institution, and that application should be made to a member of the Board. It will be seen, however, from the circular, that the Board of Trus- tees have wisely left it to the County Superintendcnts to make the recommendations for their re- spectiye counties, and that such a recommendation will be a suffl- cient credcntial to secure admis sion to any applicant holding it. We therefore advise all who may wish to compete for beneficiary ship to apply at once to Prof Robt. w. Moses, at Dover.

STATE LANDS,

One great source of revenue to Arkansas ought to be her State Lands. Heretofore we do not think they have been of much profit to her.
 We arc glad to see that this matter is beginning to attract at tention and evoke some discus sion.
 The following letter from Hon. J. N. Smithee, commissioner of State Lands, bearing upon this subject will be found of interest to our readers, especially to those of our citizens who feel an inter est in the growth ond welfare of our state.

--------------------------------- - ARKANSAS JUSTICE,

| The effect of vigorous and eff fective enforcement of the laws ot the country, especially against those who, with ruthless hand, have shed human blood, is always salutary and impressive. Crime and criminals only stalk abroad in those sections where the slack administration of the laws, afford reasonable ground for believing that punishment may be evaded ; and where ever the indifference of the courts to human life, and the false doctrines of the sham phi lanthropy which is always ready to sympathize with crime is most manifest, there the hope of inn munity from punishment attracts the criminal classes. It is this salutary influence which makes us look upon the harsh execution of murderers as a civilizing agency.
 The lesson from a public execu tion is never lost to society. The recent execution at Ft. Smith has sent thrill of horror to the hearts of blood thirsty roughs, which will long be remembered, and this exhibition of Arkansas jus tice, it is hoped, may put to shame the chicken heartedness, or the fatal indifference-whichever it is -of the guardians of the public safety in the greater centres of crime.
 The New York Herald, refers to the Ft. Smith execution as fol lows:
 "Arkansas justice is rude, but vigorous and effective. In these days of sham philanthropy it is refreshing to know that there are some sections of the country where the crime of murder receives due punishment. At Fort Smith yesterday, six murderers expiat- ed their crimes on the gallows, and the memory of this rigorous administration of the law is not likely to be soon forgotten by the wild border population. If only our city juries and judges would follow the good example set them by Arkansas the cowardly mur- ders which disgrace this city would be effectively checked. It is the hope of immunity from punishment which makes the rowdy element so careless of she'd ding blood.

- SHALL WE HAVE DOGS OR SHEEP?

Arkansas needs a dog law. If one half of the worthless CUTS in the country were killed of, as they probably would be if a heavy tax was imposed on them, sheep raising would be much more ex- tensively engaged in, to the great advantage of the country.-Ben- tonville Advance.
 We join our voice to that of the Advance and all others who ad- vocate the passage of such law, and demand it at the next session of the general assembly.
 We have a country which is well adapted to sheep raising, and if there was any encourage ment extended to this lucrative branch of industry, the annual wool yield would be a source of immense income to the people of our state. There is an immense profit in the sheep growing busi- ness and we ought to add this source of wealth to our already existing advantages. But dogs and sheep don't do well together and until our lesislature shows more regard. for the latter, and evinces determination to throw it's protection and fostering care around this industry, we cannot expect any practical sheep rais- CTS to give 1t any fair trial in our State.
 The question before the next legislature, will be, shall we have dogs or sheep?

The ExctlrsiOnists' Resolutions

The following resolutions were offered anl adopted by the excur- sionists who visited our town last Monday week ago:
 Resolved that our sincere and cordial thanks are rendered to the Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail road comyany, and especially to Theo. Hartman, Esq, superinten- dent of the road, for the delight ful excursion afforded to ourselves and to our guests from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Pennsylvania, visiting our state with the view of examining and reporting upon our resources to T. B. Mills, esq, for our introduction to these gen tlemen, and for very practical courtesies extended; and to the citizens resident on the line of the road, particularly the committee of reception, and the fair ladies of Russellvile and the citizens of Clarksville, with their fine band, for hospitalities, as freely furnish ed as gratefully received.
 On motion of Gen. Bishop, it was directed that these resolu- tions be published in the papers of Little Rock, and in the Lewis burg State, the Russellville DEM oCRAT, the Clarksville Van Guard, and the Ozark Banner.

The Bentonville Advance of the 4th inst, comes out and places itself squarely on the record against remitting the fifteen pei cent. penalty.
 The Advance is correct. We are glad to have the Advance join us on this matter. We were afraid we would have to go ii alone in fighting this silly demand of some of the state papers, but we nevertheless intended to op- pose it, not only on principle, but as a measure of bad policy for the state.

A COUNTY JAIL.
A Matter of Grave Importance to taxpayers. A large Debt Accumulating for
 Want of a Jail.

There is no one matter which, at this time, demands the atten- tion of the taxpayers of Pope county, so urgently as the matter of providing for the building of a county jail. There is no one matter the neglect of which will be fraught with more disastrous consequences.
 We have directed attention to to this matter by brief allusion to it, on several occasions prior to this, but we have, as yet, succeed ed in securing but little attention to it. And just here we must be pardoned if we have to express it as our opinion that the people are too indifferent to the public inter ests of the county. The cause of this we don't know, but we believe it to be, in great measure, be- cause they do not keep posted upon county matters. They stay at home, work, eat, sleep and never read their county paper enough to know what matters of public nature are demanding their attention. To keep the people posted on tn SC matters, we have made it our aim and spe- cial province, and this, more than anything else has reconciled us to the laboreous and profitless task of furnishing our readers with this journal in the hope that they would read it and have their best interests kept before them.
 But to get back to the point again. Th,s matter of a county jail, as we said, is important and must have attention, or we will be deeply involved in debt on account of the expense of taking care of, and keeping in custody the criminals of our coun- ty. We heard it asserted, few days ago, and upon investigation we find it to be true, that the ex- pense of guarding prisoners in Pope county, has, for good while, been about ten dollars per day. Now can we stand this? Will we not soon be bankrupt at this rate? Had we not better begin to make provision for the building of good substantial county jail? We can build first-rate jail for what it will cC st to guard our prisoners twelve months, and perhaps for less.
 We want to see this matter at tended to, and we hope to see it agitated and discussed sufficient ly between now and next term of county court, that the court may know the feeling of the tax-pay- CTS of our county on the subject, and take some action in regard to it. We would like to hear from some of our prominent citizens on it, and perhaps it would be we'll to have mass meeting called and some positive and emphatic action taken in the premises.
 The columns of our paper are open for the discussion of the matter.

PERMITTING THEPENALTY


 advocating the remission of the fifteen per cent. penalty on those who were delinquent in paying their tax for fast year. It should be remitte,l, for as a general thing no one left their taxes un- paid, but those who were wholly unable at the time to pay them and it will be an act, that will meet the approval of the majority of the people who have paid: as well as those who have not,
 Let the penalty be remitted.- Ft. Smith Herald.
 We object-most seriously ob- ject. We object, because it would be bad policy for the state in her present pinched financial condi- tion; because it would be setting 8 bad precedent; and, because it would be contrary to every sense of right and justice to make this discrimination in favor of one part of the taxpayers.
 Every citizen owes certain du- ties to his state government, among which may be named his duty to pay his pro rata toward defraying the expenses of admin istering the government whose protection he enjoys on equal terms with all other citizens. And, he is required to pay his pro rata on the same terms and under the same conditions that all other citizens are. The legislature of the state has no power or right to grant to any one citizen or class of citizens any more favorable terms for the payment of his pro rata of the public revenue, than are enjoyed by all other citizens.
 The Herald's reasons for remit ting, to-wit: that, as general thing none failed to pay except ing those who were wholly unable to do so, is very flimsy reason indeed. If man is able to own property on which taxes are as sessed and levied, he is certainly able to pay the tax, which is but a small part of the value of the property on which it is due. If he owns but little, his taxes will be but little and can be more cas- fly met than those who owe large taxes. We know of men who left their taxes unpaid because they preferred to keep the use of their money, and pay the fifteen per cent. penalty. We know others who made sacrifices to meet their taxes rather than to allow the penalty to be added.
 Shall the gross injustice of al lowing those who retained the use of their money to come up now and pay on the same terms as those who made sacrifices to pay year ago, be perpetrated? Such would be the result of an act to remit the fifteen per cent. penalty.
 We trust the papers which have been advocating this unjust and very ill-advised measure, will re- consider the matter, and see if they have not made a mistake which might lead to serious det- riment to our state.

-FIaHTING EpIroRs.-Ar re

-FIeHTING EDIToRs.-A recent editorial in the Times and Dis patch of St. Louis, severely crit icising the people of Winnebago county, Illinois, for their action in regard to the invitation extended Jefferson Davis to speak at the Rockford fair, and alleging that the people of Winnebago were ashamed to introduce the South ern leader to their houses because their homes were furnished with pianos and other articles stolen from the South during the war, provoked a reply from Col. k. <. Foster, of the Evening Journal, that the assertions of the Times and Dispatch were contemptible lie and the writer a coward.
 Major John N. Edwards of the editorial staff of the Times and Dispatch avowed himself the au- thor, and demanded a retractlon or fight of Foster, Foster chose the latter, and arrangements for the fight were at once made. The duel took place near Rockford and one shot was exchanged with six shooters at twenty paces without any injury to citherparty. Under the stipulations but one round was allowed, and thus the affair ended without bloodshcd.
