ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY.
Address of the State Central
 Committee.

In the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satissacto- " advancement of our state on the road of political honor and material prosperity under Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke the continued action of the whole people to secure the perpetuation of condition of af- fairs so satisfactory to every pa triotic citizen.
 In a period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of a sovereign equal in the Amer ican confederation, happy and prosperous at home, and respect ed abroad. To the people of the state, through their representa- tives, belongs the honor. It only remains for them to act together to perpetuate the blessing. To that end your committee has call ed a convention to assemble at the state capitol on the l4th day of June next, and urge upon all who have the interests of the state and party at heart, to take part in the effort necessary to make that convention in the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party. As each individual must suffer bv ,he maladninistration of pubic ,flairs, so is he under obligations 5o assist in shaping events so IS to secure a pure and compc- ,ent administration.
 Your committee urges prompt lction in this matter, first upon he county executive committees. in counties where a call for con 'ention can not be regularly made rom any cause, it is suggested hat as many as three members )f the party in fair standing in ,ach township might unite Tn q oint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice, md thus effectually organize the ,arty without the intervention of mass meeting for the selection if al executive committee. As the exact mode of organizing 10 positive direction is given 1; ut the hope is strongly induiged : hat such organization may be eff ected as that the will of the party nay be fully reelected in all the onventions-township, county, congressional and state. In such ases do not wait for some one lse to act; act yourselves and see hat others do.
 It is an imputant era in our istory, and the destiny of the ountry for years to come is to be determined. The same corrupt lynasty under which Arkansas utlered so long has now possess on of every department of the cderal government, except the over house of congress. That doing faithful work, and Ar ansas has four representatives . give her voice expression.
 You will be called to vote not nlv for candidates for state off es, but also to appoint delegates O represent you in the National Democratic convention for the purpose of choosing candidates or the highest executive offices # the general government, and with the prospect, for the first ime in many years, for giving ,our preference expression at the general election. The occasion is )ropitious, as well as important .et each member of the party dc lis part as an individual, and tho beginning at least will be secure

Odd Meeting OF Brothers.

A curious story is this from a Ken
gentleman of our county went over into
Indiana to buy some stock. Returning,
he embarked upon one of the Green
River boats for Bowling Green. At the
same time another gentleman and his
wife came on board with the same des-
tination, and on the trip up of over a
day and night, he, in general conver-
sation, remarked that he had been gone
to Texas twenty five years, and was now
returning to his boy hoods home to see
his relations. The two old men were
noticed in conversation several times,
but the subject must have been of
general or casual character. After land
ing at Bowling Green, and all were max
ing preparations to disembark, the Tex
an came up to the Captain and asked if
he could probably get conveyance out to
Mr.. John HIS; that he was his only
brother, and he had not seen him for
twenty-fi five years, and concluded BY ask
ing if he knew him. The Captains as
tonishment, increasing all the time, cui-
minated at the last question, and he ex-
claimed: "Why, man, Mr.. John Fl. is
on the boat; came on at Evansville at
the same time you did, and have seen
you talking together coming up" Texas
brother sprang as if electrified, and run
ming back through the cabins, the long
| separated brothers were soon locked in
each Others arm. The singular occur
renee excited good deal Of interest and
merriment at the time, which was en-
HANGED by the fact that, after examining
them together after the denouement. all
parties agreed that they very closely re.
sembled each other, and yet they had
been thirty odd hours together on the
boat, had conversed on several occasions
and neither had the slightest suspicion

An Incident OF the War.


The Springfield QIl.) Journal prints
a communication, which reads thus:
"A Democratic newspaper of Springfield,
Ill, tells of a young lawyer from that
city who, during the rebellion, found
himself on one of Gen. Banks steam
boats on BED River, when an order was
issued to put all civilians ashore; nut
who, refusing to be put ashore, had him
self put under arrest, and taken to the
headquarters of Gen. Banks. There he
was given a pass by the General and set
at liberty. One day he was in the tent
of the Provost Marshal, when an old lady
came in and complained Of the destruc-
tion Of a large amount Of cotton. The
Provost Marshal introduced her to the
yonng LAWYER who undertook her case,
took the proofs, shook the dust of Alex.
andria from his feet, bid his friend Gen.
Banks adieu, and left for the North lie
prosecuted his claim successfully. taking
it from the District Court in Springfield
to the Supreme Court in Washington,
and back again to the District Court,
where it was decided. lie recovered
every dollars worth of the cotton says
the paper, and the old lady gave him
oDe-third, amounting TO $4,000, and
thanked her stars that she had ever been
introduced to William Springer, who
now sits side by side with that same
Gen. Banks in the Forty Fonrth Con-
g-ess.' On this same income of $4,000
Mr.. Springer refused to pay his income
tax, was prosecuted. and his fine home
stead was sold by the United States Mar
shal to satisfy the execution in behalf
Of the Government. The young law
yer is now trying to persuade the United
States Marshal TO satisfy the execution
in behalf Of the Government The
young lawyer is now trying to persuade
the United Stater Court to restore his

how he will succeed.
