scribed. True Tilden and Hen dricks are democrats, but what's in namef Would not the rose by any other name smell just as sweet? Will yon be deterred, on account of foolish prejudice against a name, from striking a blow in defense of your country and Liberty?
 Your duty lies plainly marked before you. Will you have the moral courage and manhood to perform it?

What change Tn favor of the South can possibly result from Tildcn or Hayes election?"-Car- lisle Praiaie Flower.
 As to Hayes election, none. But as to Tilden's, the benefits that will accrue to the South are so numerous and so manifest, that 1t looks silly to ask such q question. The election of Til den and Hendricks involves the success of the Democratic party, and the success of the Democrat ic party involves the who.e mate rial welfare of the South. It must either be continuation of the par tisan discrimination against the south which the republican party has kept up for the past eleven years, or it must be a correction of these evils by the Democratic party with Tilden and Hendricks at the nead of the general admin istration. If the South has sutf- cred anything since the surrender of the Confederates-and just God knows she has suffered all but total desolation then is there something in favor of the South to be gained by the cleo tion of Tildcn. Will it be any thing in favor of the South to be guaranteed equality with the other states of the Union? Then will it benefit her to elect Tildon. Will it be anything iu her favor to

Ex-GOv. Lewis, of Alabama,r ,rOr Many years Republican, declares for Tildcu.

The Nashville American pub fishes a letter from eX-Gov. D. F. Lewis, of Ala, elected by the Re publicans in 1872, and defeated in 1874, in favor Of committing the Administration of the general government to Tilden and Hen dricks. He declares that reforma- tion in the policy of reconstruct, ion is as much needed as in any other branch Of the government, and that in the present canvass of the Democratic party IS on a platform that entities it to be deemed national, The rcpubli can theory of reconstruction by military force and the terror of power proved failure, while Southern birth and residence du ring the war seemed to furnish sufficient reason for the exclusion of men of national sympathics from participation in the admins tratlon of the government. He secs nothing in the future of the republican party which promises any hope to Southern citizen of national and conservative scnti mcnts.

RUSSELLVILLE ARK. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER T. 1876.

acting ill conjunction with the men of better character but nc more tact, who insist that q can didate shall be of their opinion or of no opinion concerning the merits of their private and partic- ular llobbyhorses, Hayes they knew. He had been Govern or two terms, and there never WIS any danger that he would insti- tute any reforms to hurt. He is man of fair ability, good-natur- ed, correct in his personal habits, honest, sound in the Republican faith, but without much force oi independence. After serving as Governor four years. distinguish cd by no special brilliancy of ad- ministration, he yielded to Gen. Moves. Once since he has been defeated for Congress. Before Judge Taft's name was brought forward Gen. Hayes had prblicly and as positively as possible de clIned to be a candidate. The day before the Convention the Cincinnati Gazette published an extract from a letter written by Gen. Hayes, in which he said: I wish you and my friends to know that l will not, under any circum- stances, be a candidate against Judge Taet for Governor. Nev- thelcss, when the Convention met he was candidate it is under stood with his consent, and a. all events he immediately telegraph ed his acceptance of the nomina- tion."
 The accuracy of this portrait will be recognized Dy every one who knows Hayes, and is familiar with the history of his political career. He is notorious for pro testing that he will not accept office, and then accepting under circumstances that are not com monly considered honorable even among professional politicians. He is easily influenced by corrupt men, though sonally he is honest so far as money is con cerned; and he is utterly inefli- cient to resist the pressure of Rings, as his record in the Ohio county fee law shows. As the Advertiser says, judge Taft is q stronger man than Hayes, and we have had an opportunity to see what Q pitiable eXhibitit Taft made of himself so soon as he was exposed to the Ring influences which prevail in Washington. Weaker even than Taft, Gov. Hayes if elected would become q helpless tool in the hands of the cunning and desperate rascals who are now the most prominent and efficient workers for his elcva- tion to the office which they eX- pect to control.

That Road Again.
HARRISON, Boone Co.,. Ark. ]
 August 2S, 1876. ]
To the editor of the DEMoCRAT:


 To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The interest I feel in the mat. ter of a good road leading from this place to some point on the l.. R. & Ft. $. Ky, prompts me to furnish the people of Pope county the information that they are about to let slip the best chance they have had, or ever will have, of securing the trade of that DOT ton of Arkansas lying north of the Boston Mountains. Dover, Russellville and Atkins, three towns in your county, are, or ought to be, each interested in securing this trade; nor does it stop there, Little Rock has a di- rect interest in securing the trade of the Northern counties of Arkansas.
 To show them the importance of making move to secure this trade, and the importance attach ed to it by the citizens of Spring field, Mo-, l send you an article clipped from the Springfield Ad- vertiser, of the 23d inst.
 Springfield has for years con- trolled the entire trade of these counties, which justities liberal outlay of labor and money to SC. cure it in the future. The people of Springfield know from expert ence, the importance of keeping the north Ark. trade in that direc tion; they are afraid of Clarks- vile, which point is making an effort to turn the trade from Springfield.
 Why not Russellvillc or Atkins, or both with liberal county aid, unite in making good road to the north hne of Pope, crossing the Illinois bayou above the mouth of the North Fork, keep on the di- vide between It and the Middle Fork to the hne of Pope and Searcy, which county will contin- ue the road to her north line, then Boone will finish it. Mir. Truett, of Searcy county, has made liberal offers of means and proposes to see the road made good as soon asPope county will do her part; he prefers shipping his cotton (no small item, by the way) to Rus sellville, andi bringing his goods from that direction, but the pres ent condition of the road is such, that he cannot afford to freight over 1t. There wants to be good ferry on the bayou, to be used in times of high water, so that there will be no hindrance to travel on that account. All that is want ing now is for some one county to begin the work, and 1 verlly be- heye Pope county is more deeply interested than either Boone or Searcy, therefore she should make the first move. l think the talk ing part has been pretty well done, and the time for acton has come-it is now or never The thousands of dollars that go from Ark. to Springfield, Mo-, every month in the year, might as well be kept at home, it is making Springfield merchants rich. ard they know it, hence they are now waking up to the importance of keeping ths trade by making good roads, which they would never do until they found they were in danger of losing it.
 l hope the leading men of your county will set the ball in motion at once and that the road will soon be made. Respectfully,
 J. 4. T. !

It UOln8 so put biic OUStlnitc blindness and inactivity of the merchants of Little Rock and the towns on the Little Rock and Ft. Smith Ky, in this county. We arc astonished at the sluggishness and indifference manifested in this matter, and we now tell the merchants of Russellyille, Atkins and Little Rock that if their poli- cy of restricting their trade to their own vicinities, and offering no encouragement to wider range of trade continues, their fate is sealed. It is the history of all towns which have refused to open up good avenues of ap- proach to their market, that they are out-stripped and distanced by more enterprising and appie- ciative rivals. Good approaches to . market are the making of the place, and the disi egard of the same will always be the death knell to them.
 We will not perhaps not have another opportunity to impress this truth upon our m srchants and those of Little Rock, in con nection with the trade of Newton, Boone and Searcy counties, for those people must have a market either on the Fort Smith railroad, or at Springfield, and If the towns on tue Fort Smith road will do nothing to invite this trade, they will reluctantly but cerainly be compelled to close in with the overtures now being made by Springfield.
 We advise action at once. By the 1st of December there can be a real first class wagon road made from here to Harrison, over which q full load of goods can be drawn, or buggy driven with ease and comfort.
 This very thing is required and must be accomplished, or the hundreds of thousands of dollars which would be spent in Arkan- sas from those counties will go to Missouri. The merchants and live men of Dover, Russellyille and Atkins can we'll afford Il con siderable outlay on this road. What if it cost them one per cent. of their sales for a whole year? What will that amount to, if they can thereby double, trible, or quadruple their trade?
 The merchants of Little Rock can also afford to do handsome part in this matter, for to them will really accrue the greatest ad- vantage. They will do all the jobbing trade for the country stores in that part of Arkansas, and we say now that it is q good trade that comes from those coun- ties. Little Rock, if she would ever make distributing centre, must begin to show some enter prise in inviting trade. Will not she commence at once?
 Hoping that this matter will no longer be treated with the in difference and slovenliness of the past, We commend these matters to the careful consideration of those interested.

PRAYERlN JURY ROOM.
Also the Doxology, and then a Unanimous Verdict for
 Landis.

A despatch from Bridgeton, N. J., 9th inst, says:
 Charles K. Landis slept in q hotel last night and started for NIneiand thls morning, accompa- nied by his sister and some friends. The verdict of acquittal, on the ground of insanity, is not regarded as satisfactory by the majority of people here. In the morning the jury stood 5 to $, the minority desiring to convict of manslanghter. They declared positively that they could not agree. but some hours afterward they were unanimous. The yer diet was entirely doe to the power of prayer. One of the three dis seating conducted the service, and they prayed ferYcntly until they were all of one mind. Then the constable in the adjoining room heard them singing the Doxology, and feeling sure that this outpouring of thankfulness could have but one meaning, he rushed to the bell rope and arous- cd all Bridgeton without further inquiry. Yet there are certain dissatisfied persons In Cumber- land county who assert that the jury did not agree at all, but that the minority stretched a point In order to spend Sunday with then families.

Twelve Rules for Farmers.

1. Have written contract with all laborers by the month or year
 ,. Pay working men their wa gcs promptly when due.
 3. Use only the best imple- monts on the farm and keep them always in order and well protected from the weather.
 i. Feed stock regularly, and recollect fat horse eats less than q poor one, and does much better work.
 ,. Early planting is best nine wears ill ten, therefore plant early.
 6. Early cultivation secures a good crop-always push your work-never let your work push you,
 '. An ounce of brain is worth a pound of muscle, therefore, al ways think well, and plan before hand what is best to be done and the order in which it should be done. Order is Heavens first law.
 $. Never suffer that which is made to be lost or wasted, pre- serve it, keep it, and economize. Ii is the saving more than making that gathereth riches.
 9. Never buy what you can pro duce at home equally as cheap. In this way you save time, eX- pense, and the profits of two mer- chants.
 10. Never plant more than you can cultivate well, for all crops abhor neglect, and refuse to grow well for lazy man.
 II. Never borrow from a neigh Dor except i'll case of necessity, and then return whatever you borrow as soon as possible, least misunderstanding arises, ard good neighborship be destroyed.
 I2. Prepare well for market whatever yon can spare from the farm and sell it when it is in the best state of preparation. The loss by shrinkage and refattening is more than speculation in the price to most farmers and had best be avoided.
