 THE JOHNSON COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

We regret very much to lealn that the condition of affairs i'll Johnson county is by no means as it should be. We mean the condition of things within the Democratic party of that county.
 We underseand the convention held there last Friday was q very unsatisfactory affair, no nomlna tion being agreed upon for dem ocratic candidate for the leglsla- ture. There is, we understand, three democratic aspirants in the field, with the notorious radical J. N. Sarber, out as republican candidate. Now this is the height of folly, and in all seriousness we impiore our democratic friends in Johnson county to consider care fully what the result of such a de plorable condition of affairs may be. Only a few days now inter- vene between this time and the election. There is no time to lose. With the democratic vote of Johnson county devided be- tween three democratic candi- dates and the republican vote solid for Sarber, the probability is that he will be elected. With him in the legislature we lose one vote for a democratic Senator to fill Clayton's place. With hm in the legislature we have just one more vote against every demo- cratic measure. Can Johuson county afford to let the matter go this way2 Cannot the democrat ic gentlemen who are aspirants for seat in the legislature, and their respective friends get to- gether and for the sake of the common good, compromise the matter so as to present but one nameY There is not a moment to lose. It must be done, if done at all, between now and next Mon day.
 We urge upon the democracy of Johnson county the necessity of a quick, active effort. It is worth every effort you can put forth for the next three days. By active, energetic effort, a happy result may yet be secured. Put your active, live, influential men to work to-day, and let the matter be fixed up, and then start yodr runners over the county to-mor- row and next day and strike for democratic victory.
 Be up and doing, democrats of Johnson, and don't let a radical be sent to represent your county in the next legislature.

The first number of a new paper published at Carlisle, Pral- rie county, by II. c. Warner and edited by o. P. Reed, called the Carlisle Prairie Flower, has been received. It is a very neat, spruce looking little six column paper on the cooperative plan. More than this we are unable to say, for after careful reading oi the salutatory we are not able to tell it's political complexion II professes to favor reform Not withstanding its threatening mot to Don't bark up the wrong tree' we venture to say, gentlemen Il you are really in favor ot genuine reform, come out squareiy ah' fairly for the great practica reformer, sam J.

The Democratic party eight months of power in Congress the House are harrcn of good fruits. Saratoga Republican platform.
 The saving of $3O,00O,00o to the taxpayers, by a Democratic House, is nothing worthy of cred in the eyes of these spend-thrif republicans. We call it splendid fruit. The reform policy of the House, and it's investigations, which checked the wholesale fraud and corruption of Federal office holders and rid the.country of the disgrace of Schenck and Belknap, is nothing to these loud prating republicans, although the country thinks such tuit is de licious.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

of words between our confreres of the Argus and Press, Of Crawford county, in silence for some time, hoping that the storm of their fury would be exhausted and their dissensions cease. But harder and thicker and faster they deal their blows. We are fully con scious that advice is seldom ever appreciated, especially when giv- ea from one newspaper to another, hut at the risk of being deemed presumptuous we venture few words to these two journals, hop ing that they may be recalled to a realization of the folly and mis- chief of their present course. We care but little whether we get thanks or abuse for our seeming intermeddling. These two papers, the Argus and Press, are both Democratic journals. They should be pulling together hear. ty, earnest, harmonious laborers in the common work before us. Instead of so doing, they arc ar raying the Democracy of Craw- ford county into two bitter un- compromising factions. They are denouncing each other and each others friends, as anything and everything but true men. They have formed chasm be- tween the two factions which they lead, which they are widening and widening, until after awhile there will be no point upon which they will be willing to work in harmony. The mere fact that one faction espouses any particu- lar measure, will be sufficient cause to bring upon that measure the opposition and condemnation of the other faction. Now what kind of work is this for two dem ocratic papers? What good arc they doing for their constituency What will community thus di- vided against itself be able to accomplish? What will people abroad think of it? Will any new citizens desire to settle among people who are thus at daggers points, denouncing each other through their respective organs as false, villainous and wicked. If we were to accept the denun- citations of these two papers against each other as true, what could we think of either or the supporters of either? But we don't believe half they say about each other, and we don't believe either of them believe it. Gentle men, you are engaged in a bad work. You certainly do not ap- preciate the power of the press and realize the injury your course will do to your county,
 We implore you to desist. If you cannot agree on all points you can at least agree to disagree. You need not array your whole people against each other. These dissensions grow and spread at fearful rate, and we warn you that if you persist it will result in the downfall and ignominy ol the Democracy of your county Can you afford this for the grati' fication of your personal spleen envy, or whatever other cause actuates you in your course oi folly?

From "Thriving" Alma.

hL".AS <Ahhs3 <AuS' -CShs Ao'o
 DEAR DEMocRAT:-Wlll you pc, nit me to intrude again, by taking up corner of your valua- ble paper. The St. Louis excur- sion proved a success, and the party numbered near seven hundred. On arriving at St. Louis the excursionists repair e6 to the several hotels for refresh ments. It was but few hours until some of the business men of St. Louis called and invited us to visit the various places of interest in the city; at an appointed hour we formed procession at the 'Laclede" and from there made a sbee line" to the Cotton Exchange. Taen and there I realized the fact for the first time, that producers of cotton know but little of it af ter shipment from the gins. There was quite curiosity hang ing on the wall of the Cotton ExA change bu;lding-a map upon which was designated the weath- CT throughout the United States and Territories. After recording our names and residences In a book kept for that purpose, we proceeded to interview the Grand Republic, the largest steamboat plying the Mississippi river. Language is inadequate to express the grandeur and magnlflcence of this steamer; suffice it to say, we were cordially received by the of ficers and shown around.
 After spending an hour aboard the Great Republic, we next visit ed the Merchants Exchange, the most elegant building of the kind in the Union. l. was indeed pleasant to spend time in the capacious hall and see the various samples of products of this vast country on "Change." In this hall the great National Democrat ic Convention was held which re- suited in the fortunate nomina- tons ofTilden and Hendricks.
 Now word for St. Louis. It IS a city of half a million population and increasing rapidly, and is justly called the metropolis of the the great West. Her business men are alive to her every inter est. They regard Arkansas as second to no State that trades there. St. Louis possesses an air of hospitality truly Southern. The allegiance formed between tliat great city and Arkansas IS one that both should be proud of.
 On arriving home I found many attacked with a Febris con linens, not of malarial origin, but from railroad excitement. Ar engagements have been made to survey the route of the North West railroad from Fayetteville to Alma. The services of Mai. D. w. Durfow, an efficient engi- neer. has been secured and will commence the survey immediate l ly. It is fact that the most ac- ccssible and shortest route across the Boston Mountain from Fay etteville to the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway is to Alma, and sooh wc will have railway in tercoursc with our neighbors across "Boston.
 Your excellent paper is receiv- ed regularly every week and glad I am to get it. l esteem it one of the best papers published in the State. Some of my friends cali to see it regularly. With your permission I will make an effort to increase your subscription list from thriving Alma. More anon.
