We do not read of any access cions to the ranks of Hayes from the Democracy, but we daily hear of repu olicans, influential in their party, wbo turn their backs on it to support Tilden, the Re former.
 It is a significant circum- stance that all the Republican thie-cs and political tralickers are red hot for Hayes. Blaine, Bab ccck, Shepherd, Spencer, Me Donald, and the whole crew will put forth their best efforts to elect Hayes, whom Jay Gould, another of the party calls a sincere re former" and ';slI sufficient A man is known by the company he keeps. Hayes company IS bad. -All the developments since the Cincinnati Convention make it plain that the combination of influences throug!i which Gov. Hayes was nominated was simply seeking to prolong the corrupt and demoralizing system, now known as GrantisT. Gov. Hayes was adopted because of his p!ia- blc and plastic nature, his nlcdi- ocricy, and his dependence on su- perior minds to guide him in pub lie affairs.
 Carl Schurz will not be able to scduce the Germans from Til den and reform to Hayes and Grantism. They are past listen ing to Republican excuses, and demand actual performance i'll the way of reform, and that they know they can only get by voting for Ti!den and driving from office and power the present poiitica leaders and ring masters. Til. den will carry great majority oI the German vote of the country.

-Up THE FT. SMITH Roap.--- We have 10 return many thanks to Col. I'heo. Hartman, Sap.. of this road, and acknowledge ourselves under renewed obligations to him, for his goodness and generosity in proyid- ing us with gratuitous transporta- ton to the terminus of the road at the western end of the line. As he result of our trip we have received two very emphatic impressions OH our mind. First, the energy and go-al,eaditiyeues of the managers of the road is fully impressed upon any one who makes n trip over this ] portion of the road, for the magni- tude and expense of the job Of put ting the road through has certainly been immense. The deep cuts i through solid rock, and the immense fills which have been necessary and 1 which have been so well and so speedily accomplished tell not only of pluck and determination but also of an immense outlay of money. The Western part of the State should certainly feel very kindly toward the road for the accommodation and convenience which will result to them will certainly be much greater than the pecuniary reward which tie road will reap for such large outlay.
 The second vivid impression we received was the grand and pictur- csque sights and scenery which meets tho eye of the traveller over portions of this road. Surely there is no sucb scenery, telling so forci- ply oI the power and grandeur oi the Author of Nature, to be seen ill any other portion of Arkansas. A trip over the Western portion of the F't. Smith road would well repay the cost, just to behold the grandeur which nature displays in this por- ton of Arkansas.
 Aloug the line of road in Johnson Franklin and Crawford counties tberc are some fine lands and noble timber. These lands are now on inc market and the excellent coni- missioner of the road spares nc trouble to show them to prospecting parties. Almost every trip over the road there are more or fewer ol these seekers for new homes, gener- ally accompanied by some trusty and well posted guide connected with the land department of the road. The company owns and now offers for sale OH easy terms several hundred thousand acres of these fine farming, pasturing, fruit and timber lands. We have ardent hopes of seeing these lands speedily settled by active industrious immi- grants, who, if they come to 4Arkan- sas, will surely never regrcr the step.

REPLICATION.

 When take your answer upon the
 whole, It stuns and bcnunibs the cnuuirer's
 soul: Love, it you would have distruct-
 ions to he 1T, To cyade the question l put you
 square; Perfect and crossed you would have
 1t to weave, And your enquirer leaves in the dar-
 kcst eve, Draped you would have it to jcal-
 ousy change, When both it and doubt in the same
 heart reign. Yet perfect as Heaven to this you
 swear, And the human race it unites in
 pairs, Becoming she self same in mind and
 soul, When the man and woman compose
 the whole; But if jcalorsy in such state reigns How can you ever call them tine self
 same9 If love is perfect how could it ever
 fall, And leave the world in n deal of a
 hrawI? The same cause produces not unlike
 effects, Jealousy and love are different sex Thc same laws to tine same subjects
 apply, Love and jealousy cast different die . Then so much your answer do re- ject, As makes love produce two distinct effects. And tell me not in gi,ldy and un- guarded thought, That love at any time has jealousy wrought. Dear Cieeronia am not much of a poet, Not quite enough of sheep, not quite
 enough go-at.

The turn table was tC have been completed last Saturday and through passenger trains arc to be put on at once. The whole man. agement of this road now is most excellent, energetic and enicrpris- ing, and we hope the road may have big run of good luck and success.
 The wide-awake, social land agent, Col. w. D. Slack, is doing great deal tO induce actual settlers to come and occupy the lands of the road, of which the company owns hundreds oi thousands ot acres as fine for far ming, pasturing and timber as any man could wish. Much of the de- velopment of western Arkansas will be due to the enterprise and pains which Col. Slack has taken to dis pose of these lands 10 immigrants from other States.
 Col. Theo. Hartman, the gentle manly and fair-dealing superintend- ent of the road Is exactly and em- phatically the rightman in the right place, and as long as he remains in charge of the road its popularity is ensured. We congratulate the off ccrs of the road on the completion of their line aud We wish them tha. success which they DOW so justly deserve.
