A Cosby Letter.
UNION CHURCH, Pope Co.,, Ark.

UNION CHURCH, Pope Co.,, Ark. To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Last Sabbath was fine day and we all assembled ourselves for the purpose of engaging in the ser vice of God. In the morning we had Prayermeeting by P. M. Aus tin, then after winch Rev. w. J. Dodson preached for us; he preached q good feeling sermon. Then we all took dinner, which was prepared on the grounds; it was said that there were about three hundred people there. Af ter taking some refreshments, our Sabbath school was opened by singing and prayer by our Su- perintendent Mir. Craig, whom we think is q fine man. Then Mir. James Potts was introduced to the school by Mr. W. J. Pollock to give the school a lecture, which was very grand. We hope it will be the means of our school being revived. MT. Tucker from Atkins preached for us in the afternoon; he preached good sermon. We will say that our Sabbath school is seventy two in number and also improving. We do hope that people will take more interest in training up their children in the right way. Well 1 have said enough but will say that we rec ommend your valuable paper, and we say call again Mir. Potts.

ADMINISTRATIVE RE-
 FORM.

"It is my profound conviction that the worst democrat whose nomination at St. Louis is possi ble, is safer for the country than the best republican whose nomi nation is possible at Cincinnati. The imperative, the solemn need of the country is a CHANGE IN THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION"
 The above is an extract from a letter written by Hon. F. w. Bird, one of the leading, honest, and :n- dependent republicans of Massa- chusetts. The entire letter Is published at full length on the in side of to-day's paper. We re- produce this letter for the benefit of two classes of persons:-first those republicans whom we be- lieye are of no inconsiderable number, who really wish for a genuine, healthy administrative reform, and an outcast of the riff raff rabble who have brought true repubhcanism into disrepute; sec ond, those democrats who seem inclined to. place other minor is- sues, notably among which is the currency hobby, foremost in the can gass and to make a solution of the currency problem paramount to the great, pressing want of the hour-administrative reform,- which can only be secured by q change in the national adminis- tration. We would have both these classes ponder long and we'll the conclusion at which Mir. Bird has arrived, to.wit: "the worst democrat whose nomination at St. Louis is possible, is safer for the country than the best re- publican whose nomination, is possible at Cincin- natti." How widely at variance is this with the lndiscreet, unpol- itic, and undemocratic assertions of some democrats-who blatantly assert that in the event the St. Louis convention shall nominate certain prominent gentlemen sound democrats-wllo now seem to have the best chance of secur- ing the nomination, they will bolt the nomination and vote the re- publican ticket. How much more wisdom, patriotism and true de votion to the cause of good gov ernment is there in the former than the later! How fanatical and reckless is this conduct of democrats,
 Does not this course tend to the disruption, and nothing more than the disruption and defeat of the democratic party? And does not all the hope of administra- tive reform now depend upon the success of the party? What will the lnflationists gain by defeating the St. Louis nominees and elect ing those of the Cincinuatti Con vention? Where will be their greenback hobby then?

 however, that Mr. Walker is of Northern birth and education, that he became citizen of Vir- g;Gia after the war, and that he made himself so acceptable to the Mother of States, as to get elected governor and afterward q repre- sentative in Congress from the Metropolitan district, may cause his case to be considered exceptional by the convention. .rhe needs of Virginia, and her undeveloped resources require that she should have efficient rep resentatives in every department of government.

THE ST. LOUIS NOMINEE.


 It is pleasing view of the con test between the friends of the several candidates for the St. Louis nomination, that no bitter feeling is exhibited by any of them, nor hard language used. The Southern Members of Con gross, particularly, express them selves on the exciting topic of the day with moderation worthy of all praise. They are pretty firm, however, on one point. They say We must have a Democrat. In '72 we met the Liberal Republi- cans more than half way. We accepted as our candidate, a man whom our people and the Demo- cratic party of the North had looked upon for more than quar- ter of a century as bitter and able foe, but who, at the eleventh hour, impelled by the great good that was in him, had become our friend when he saw us weak and oppressed. We forgot and for gave, and tried our best to elect him. He was beaten and the eff feet of that defeat is still felt. It will operate against the nomi- nation of any man at St. Louis,  who is not identified with the Democratic party. There is no evidence that any mere sectional differences will be allowed to in terfere with the selection of the most avail" ble candidate. The South gives assurance of this, by refusing to put forward an ex- treme man from that section. The South demands that the North and West shall unite with them on a candidate that can not be de- feated. The leading issue of the campaign will be Administrative Reform. Not an empty promise of Reform, made simply to be broken, but an assurance of such a complete change in the admins tration of the government as shall drive corrupt men from office, and substitute official honesty for the dishonesty thatnow disgraces ev- cry department of affairs. The man who can best represent these principles, and who can draw the largest support from dissatisfied Republicans, as we'll as from Democrats, will be the choice of the St. Louis convention; and he cannot be defeated. At the pres ent writing, that man is generally conceded to be Samuel J. Tilden, of New York.

LITTLE MISS TURPIN'S FATE.

He Was Stranger, and She Took Him In.
A little conversation took place, one
morning, on the top floor of dinYy old
lodging house in the metropolis that led 10
strange results. 1t was in the front-room,
but made its way very readily through
the chinks and crannies in the mortar to
the neighboring apartment, where little
Miss Turpin was preparing her frugal
breakfast. The toasting-fork nearly fell
from her hand, and her dimity apron mar
rowly escaped being seduced by presump-
tuous flame from the CRATE, when the
harsh, gruff voice of her landlord fell upon
her ear.

The young medical student was man oil
