Little Rock Gazette: About two
months ago P. G. C0nelly, formerly in
the employ Of the Western Union teie.
graph company, was arrested in Jack
sopport on charge OF obtaining money
unaer false pretenses. He gave bail
upon that charge, and was immediately
resrresled upon q similar charge, and
brought to Little Rock, and was up to
Monday an inmste of the county jail,
when he was brought before Judge Peek
on wilt of ha6eGs corpus and released
on bail.
The Dardanelle News has the follow
ing: The cotton crop ia these parts is SO
pTised to hear Of two bales per acre
on many farms this year, We
have u hesrd of q single hogshead
of bacon being brought to our mar
ket this season. The back country
is keeping our market fully supplied.
The COIN crop is SO good in these parts,
ard now fully made, except the last
planting, that there is 10 doubt but 1t
will sell for less than it cost to make it.
To give ten dollars for the rent of an
acre Of land, raise seventy.fige bushels
per acre, and after the trouble of max
ing and gathering to sell it for ten or
fifteen cents per busheI is not making
money very fast, though making a big
crop OF corn.

INDIANA POLITICS.
General Harrison Eegins His Canvass
for GOVernOr-NRtiOnaI Politics
the Principal Topic Re.
view of Gov. TIIden's
War Record.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 1S.-General
Ben HsrrisOn began his canvass for gov
ernor Of Indiana at Danville, in Hem
bricks county, to-day, where he ad-
dressed q large meeting. He spoke
nearly three hours, and almost entirely
on national politics, his only references
to State matters being warm advocacy
of such an amendment to the State con-
s.itutiOn as would permit Of the enact
ment of a rigid registry law. He had
only q single sentence for Hendricks,
which was that If he had said or done
anything in favor of his country in her
hour of trial, history had failed to
record it. He began by explaining
hs had in the start declined to allow
the use of his name for the governor
chip only for purely personal reasons,
and not because he did not appreciate
the high honor which the nomination
would confer, nor because he feared to
enter the contest, which he was con-
WINGED, and had been for months, must
end in s. Republican victory. He then
reviewed at some length, and in strong
terms, the history of the Democratic
party, claiming that, as an organizs-
tiOn, ii was disloyal to the country. This
kind of talk or distrust that all is not
quiet or orderly In the south is called
the waving OF the bloody shirt.
1t is an expression with
which he had no patience, for it was
an insult to the loyal soldier who fought
for the nations life. He then took up
the record OF Mr. Tilden, beginning
with the Kent letter OF l860-which he
characterized IS The utterancts Of &C.
misunderstanding portions of it and
commenting on them at length, and
With much severity. He took up in Or
der the letter of DR.. Russell, showing
that TiIdeu held the same sentiments in
March, 1851, aDd again proved the same
thing by his refusal TO take part in the
wsr injecting tn April, 1881, and by the
Chicago pes6s resolution OF 1884. He
then deslt with Mr.. Tilden as the ally OF
Tweed and o sham .reformer, and was
interrupted by applause.

COMO, August 17.-Weather improv-
ing, ,and while too much OF oil Sors rays
would be disastrous to cotton, still we
cannot entirely dispense with the
warmth and brightness Of his genial
cOuutenapce. The rains have hindered
fodder pulling, and yet have given US
splendid season for the turDip crop,
which, from sll accounts, will be un-
usually large. A large area o! ground
will be sown In wheat this fall; vigorous
preparations are now being made Tor this
invaluable crop. Como planters, once
upon time, had no higher ambition
than to raise largely Of cotton, and were
ridiculously reckless in their expendi-
lures until poverty called a halt, for
while the psDgs of hunger were relieved
by deeds OF trust, it was found that it
was only temporary relief-that each
succ esding year was only tightening the
cord that Shylock was drawing around
them. The principle OF the Patrons Of
Husbandry was resorted TO, and now the
patient is in healthy state of conva-
lescence. From this vicinity no DIM
mutton has been made in the number
OF bales OF cotton, IS appears from
the railroad book, yet very
large Increase Is perceptible In the

oovgRyOR HARRIS DECLINEs.

We give in aro'her column, in a spe.
cial dispatch to the APPEAL from Nash
vile, Governor H2rris's letter declining
the position Of elector for the State at
large, tendeTei to him by the recent
Democratic State convention. The let
ter is remarkable for its candor, clear
ness and force. The course adopted by
Governor Harris is not sur rprising to his
friends. He did not seek the position OF
elector. Indeed he was elected regard
sI Of his earnesi and repeated pro-
tss.Etions. Fully appreciating the i'm
port AID manner OF the honor shown
him, his first i'm pulse was to decline the
nomination at Cnce ana unconditioEally.
Bot by the advice Of friends, In whose
judgment he placed great tconfidence,a and
in whose good sense and patriotism his
faith is strong, be deferred his intentions
until yesterday. Governor Harris is too
good Democrat to embsrrsss the party
he has ioGg sud faithfully served. Un-
der his leadership as eEector for the State
large, the true and reliable Democra-
cy OF tennessee, those who love their
tried AMI trusted sons, would have ral-
lied to his csii ss they have done in for
msr days. But Governor II arTis prefers
to battle for his party as private in
the Democratic ranks. He has always
b9ea popular with his party in Tennes'
see; AMI the war that has been made
upon him, the malignant manner in
which be hiss bsen persccuted for the
crime of beiDg tue to the south, has |
concentrated upon him the sympathy |
a1d sffsetiens Of people who de- |
light in houoriDg guoh rebels as John G. |
Brown, Casey Young, John f. House, |
General Bate, Senator Gordon, Lamar,
Hill, Senator COckrell, and a thousand |
others Governor Harris has seized his |
opportunity, aud is once more the man
Of the hour. The revolution in
his favor will be instantaneous |
aud overwhelming. He was strong be-
fore ths people week ago, but he is
stronger now. The Radicals have msde |
no war upon others. They dreaded ard
feared Governor Harris, and hence con-
centrated on him all their opposition.
Bat the people will take care Of the man
who hss suffered for being trde to them.
Our political history shows few instan-
ess In which leading citizen 16as been
so vezomous'y pursued, and none ia |
which the persecution has been better
endured, or which will be more success
fIlly repeled. We bespeak for Govern
or Harris's letter a careful reading. His
utteraucss are those offs statesman, such
as viii be approved by every man who
dssires the peace and prosperity Of the

The Condition of speaker Kerr.

ROCKBRIDGE ALUM SPRINGS, Va,
August 1S-Mr. Kerr suffered most in
tense agony up to midnight last night,
but thereafter rested more comfortably.
His death is now only question of
time, and that short one. His mind
is still clear and active, and his Will as
firm and resolute as ever. Hon. S. s.
Cox and wife have just arrived to pay
their last tribute to the dying speaker.
He converses with them as freely as his
fast falling condition will allow. Hon.
Montgomery Blair has had to-day quits
8 lengthy conversation With 7. Kerr.
DR.. Pope says he cannot last much
longer. The speaker Is surrounded by
his friends, who are mOmentsrily ex-
pecting his death. This morning he die
tated dispatch to his law partner st
New Albany, in which, alter telling Of
his intense pain, he says: "The end OF it
all is near at hand, wish it could be
painless, but fear not. When the news
comes to you at home, hear il bravely
and resignedly, for 1 Will. My hesrt
still turns to you with 1TsTmest love-"

ST. LOUIS, August 1S.-The Kansas
City Times of this morning says that an
attempt to rob the train on the Kansas
City, st. Joseph and Council Bluffs rail-
road was made night before last. A
party Of men are said to have planned
an attack on the pay-car, which was
expected over that night, but by mis-
take they stopped the regular passenger
train, producing the greatest consterna-
ton among the passengers. When their
error was discovered the would. be rob.
bers made eff into the woods, and the
train proceeded on its wsy. 1t proved,
however, that the pay. car was attached
to this train, and owing to that fact alone
perhaps it escaped being ,bbed.
