" Every Twenty Minutes"

On Wednesday last, viii. Willis. General
Superintendent. and several other officers of
the Southern Express Company, came up
from Little Rock, on the evening train, on
visit to TT. Smith. They arrived at Chero-
kee, the end of the line but found they could
not cross the river. SO they" camped OUT in
Cherokee, all night. and in the morning sue
ceeded, after some trouble in crossing the
river. The difficulty in reaching our sister city
by rail became so manifest to them that they
returned overland. and crossed on our ferry,
without the slightest delay. They recommen-
ded Gen. B, melville and wife,who came up on
next train to stop here, and 60 across to Fort
Smith direct. This Gen. B. did, and arrived
at home al least the same evening.
Nearly all the passengers for TT. Smith stop
here, and take the route used by the United
States mail, as the shortest and quickest
way of reaching their destination. A fine
omnibus will hereafter connect with each
train at the depot, and carry passengers at
once to Fort Smith, without the least danger
of delay. Bro. Sparks keeps wondering why
these things are thusly, vet thus they still re-
main.

The st. Louis Republican of the 9th

The st. Louis Republican of the 9th,
says: ... sn 80.
A letter from Boston to the New York
Tribune says that there is no possible
show of the $4,000 majority which the
Republican ticket got in 1868 and 1872,
while the Republicans do not even claim
that for the state ticket. Gov. Rice, the
present incumbent, is their nominee.
The democrats talk of putting up Gov.
CASTOR again, and there seemed little op-
position to his nomination until lately.
Now there is strong movement in ia
vor of Charles Francis Adams, and the
letter referred to, says:
"Mr. Adams position is more thor
oughly with the democratic party, this
year than it has been at any other time
since his return from Europe. He has
been Independent, with leanings to one
or the other side, in previous presiden-
tial canvasses. Now he is for Mr.. Eli.
den, without reservation. His four sons,
some of whom have never voted dem
ocratic ticket, are all with him in. this
action. There is appearing in. the dem
ocratic party a sentiment in favor of Mr.
Adams nomination for governor, very
much as a similar sentiment was devel-
oped among the republicans, last year
1t is said to be gaining force among the
leaders. Nobody knows whether, Mr.
Adams would accept a nominations Per
haps the question may not be asked him
beforehand. There Is no doubt that the
SUBJECTS being seriously considered, and
it is possible that it may change the pro
gramme of the party. Mr.. Adams is
well on in the seventies in point of age
but he is as vigorous as most men are at
fifty If he were Nominated with the
understanding that he was to be adhered
to us a candidate till he was chosen, there
is little doubt that before many years he
would fill the governors chair In this
state" ="

EDITOR OF Y. B. Press On Saturday
last at the meeting at Tapp's Spring, the
question was put to Hon. &. Wilcox, can
didate for member of the legislature,
who he was supporting for Sheriff, J. +,
Winfrey, true and tried democrat, or
}. 7, Grady, republican, who never
claimed to be anything else, and who is
charged with being party to the cleo
ton frauds perpetrated on us in 1872.
Mr.. Wilcox refused to answer who he
was for. How is this for an editor of
what claims to democratic journal, and
who is asking Democrats to send him to
the legislature 1.-two democrats were
running, it would be quite different. We
are bound to conclude that Mr.. Wilcox
is either for Grady, or that he is expect
ing to be elected by republican votes!
How can Mr.. Wilcox take this stand
He who aspires to the leadership of the
'StiioNiene Poi III WIS tOuHtS Ills
is as bad as that Xxx letter of his you
published on him, and which was sent to
the radical st. Louis Democrat. This was
a bad days work for Wilcox out here.
Many Democrats here who were rhim
say they will not vote for him. We had
taken him for democrat, first, but this
won't do. lie cant ride in on two hor-
ses with our votes certain Our people
won't forgive him. Mr.. Grady conduct
in the election Of 1872 his trying to
make us make change in State and coun-
ty scrip, which we could not do, so us to
make us pay him in currency; nor his
collecting currency school-tax off OF
us, and paying it in State scrip. And
yet Wilcox can't repudiate his conduct.
This won't do, | tell you. Youare gone

FIRST GUN FROM ALABAMA.
Grand Democratic Victory.

MONTGOMERY, August 7.-Returns from
various parts of the state, indicate a
sweeping democratic victory. Hous.
toms majority for governor, will not be
less than 10000, and will probably go
much higher. Returns show democrat
ic gains everywhere. Enough have been
received to warrant the statement that
the democratic majority will be 10000.
MOBILE, Aug. THE election passed
off without any disturbance. This coun-
ty gives over | 500 democratic majority.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, August s.-Many
counties heretofore republican send dem
ocrats to the legislature, and the demo-
cratic majority will be very large, The
vote of congressional districts shows
seven of them democratic, and one re-
publican. As far as heard from, there
has not been disturbance of any kind
in the state. The utmost good feeling
prevailed everywhere.
LATER.
Returns continue to show large dem
ocratic gains. Out of Isixty-tve eoun-
ties every one will give a democratic
majority except six or seven. The dem
ocrats will have twenty-seven out of
thiry-three senators, and at least eighty
out Of one hundred representatives.
Further information is received that or,
der and quiet prevail eveeywhdre
