FRIENDSHIP AND BUSI-
 NESS.

Friendship-personal regard and esteem--is one thing, and business is another. We fear the want of making a proper discrim- ination between the two often leads into error. Especially in the selection oi men to fill the of fees of the State and county, and evil consequences are apt to follow if we are governed by feeling of friendship, or personal regard, for the various aspirants. Be- cause a man is a "good fellow,' is no reason in itself why he should be placed in office. Because he is good honest man and an old citizen is no reason in its self why man should be put iI of flee. Because he possesses all those social qualities which gain for him the personal esteem of his fellow citizens is no reason in its self why he should be entrust- ed with official duties, unless he is otherwise qualified and capacita- ted to transact all the duties of the office in a correct, expeditions and impartial manner.
 It is the duty of every voter to consider these things and to le- member that incompetency and incapacity iR officials is one of the greatest causes ofbad govern ment. It is no breach of friend ship to vote against a man if he is unfittcd to the office to which he may aspire, and we hope that in the selection of our next officials county and state, personal likes and dislikes will not enter into the question; but that we may have officials selected with duo regard to theil qualifications and

From Bad to Worse.

The telegraph last night bro't the news of important changes in the cabinet. Attorney general Pierreponte has been nominated by the president to succeed Schenck as minister to England
 -Piercpont, who connived at the efforts to acquit Babcock, and wrote q letter to the government attorneys calculated to frighten off witnesses. Judge Taft had just got fairly esconsed in the war office when the president calls for his services in the departme't of justice. We have nothing to say against this appointment, ex- cept that as Judge Taft bid fair to make a good seeretaty of war, it might have been just as we'll to have left him there. But the secret of the whole change is in the interest of the Camerons. The emperor of Brazil, Dom Pc dro, is travelling through the United States. Why not have a Don in the cabinet, if not on the throne, in the upper half of the American continent? Don's ia ther was secretary war once, and Mir. Lincoln let him off for lit tie ''crookedness," We hope it may not prove "like father like son. Gazette.

 OUR Co. CONVENTION.

Elsewhere in to-days paper will be found the proceedings of the Pope County Democratic Conven tion. We deem it right and prop per, and consider it our duty as we'll as our privilege, to call at tention to one feature of the re- ported proceedings,-or rather to make note of the fact that there has been q portion of the proceedings not included in the Secfctary's report, to-wit: the preference expressed for names to fill the various State offices. Why this is omitted we are unable to understand. We know that an expression of the Convention as to choice for State officers was called for and given in emphatic and un- mistakable terms.
 The preference expressed was as follows:
 For Governor, $. F. Hughes l; for Secretary of State, B. B. Bea- yers; for Auditor, John Crawford ; for Treasurer, T. J. Churchill; for
 
 Att'y-Gen'l, b. w. Jones; for Chan cery clerk. w. I. Mcclellan; for Sup't Public Instruction, Wm. Oates; land com'r, J. N. Smithee.
 Although a motion was made and sustained, that tae delegates be not instructed, the preference of the Convention was subsequent ly called for and expressed as above, and we contend that thls action IS exactly tantamount to instructions. We think also, that as it was part of the proceedings of the meeting, it should have ap peared in the minutes.
 The Secretary explains that il is left out at the request of the gentleman who moved for an ex- prcssion of a choice. We have only to say that it is too late, after a Convention has been held and adjourned, for any motion to be reconsidered, or for any member thereof to attempt to change, va ry or suppress any of the proceed ings of the Convention, and we think fidelity to their constituent cy will make it encumbent upon the delegates to work for the expressed choice of the people We take it for granted that this will be done.

THE PRESS CONVENTION.

The Press meeting at Searcy on the 9tn ult., will be attended by Q full turnout of the whole press of the State. We hope there may not be paper in the State with out it's representative there; and we hope that each one who at tends the meeting will go there to WORK. There is work to be done. There is work to.be done which will rebound to the glory and the good of the State. If we except the next Legislature, there is or will be no meeting in the State which can be made greater pow CT for doing good than the Press Convention. We are not to go there for any spree or frolic. We are not to go there to have "a good time" simply, but to think, to counsel together and to work for the christalization of our eff forts in behalf of all that is good and beneficial. We trust that the editors of the papers will attend themselves, and attend, too, with full realization of the rcsponsi- bility resting upon them.

THE TREASURY DEFALCA- TION AND THE SUSPEN- SION OF STODDARD, BROS .N co.

The Lewisburg State of last week contains an open letter from Hon. s. P. Hughes ill vindication of his action as attorney general in the matter of the Treasury de- falcaSion and the Stoddard, Bros. x Go. suspension. It is rather re- markable that there is no allusion in this letter to the defaulting Trcasurer-no assertion of the liability of him and his securities to the State for the amount of the dedication. The suit which has been instituted against Stoddard, Bros. & Co, and the seizing of the assetts of the firm which are yet in the hands of the receiver of the Chancery Court, is all that the letter shows to have been done. This action Mr. H. says "has met his approval, "!and as he supposes, "of every honest man in the State.
 Like the editor of the State, we have beeu under the impression that "should a Treasurer of the state fail to keep the funds of the state according to law, then it would become the duty of some guardian of the peoples interests to proceed at once to take judg- ment against that official and his suretics." If this is not correct, why require bond? Why, if It is not for the protection of the State, whose funds arc placed in 1 the hands of the treasurer for safe keeping and disbursement ac- cording to law, is any bond re- quired? The State of Arkansas is paying big interest on money which has been borrowed to run her machinery of government, and when we sec the lameness of the effort which has been put forth to reimburse the State for the $50, GOO Newton dedication, we arc forced to believe that there has been great remissness in the discharge of duty SOMEWHERE Where it has been, and upon :. whose head the blame for the State lying out of the use of hel funds so long, should rest, we are not prepared to say but tho fact remains that the direct, short and sure road to indemnify the State has been evadcd, and . round a bout, uncertain method adopted This, we can hardly suppose" has met the approval of every honest man in the State" However unpleasant may be the prompt and energetic pushing of this matter in order to protect the State ant the taxpayers from a loss, thu people had d right to expect tina it would be done.

Louisville Courier Journal: A ticket composed of Tilden and Thurman would be the most DOW. erful in America, if the ambition of friends could make the necessa- ry concessions. It is clear that New York, with her five mill .ons of people, is indlspensibly necess- ary to democratic victory, and if Ohio should aid with Thurman, or Missouri with Broadhead, for the second place, the nomination would strike terror into the disor- ganized ranks of the Republicans. The power of such q ticket is in it's intrinsic moral force and the idea of reform. Any mere ques. tions ofpersonal preference or ac- complishment are weak in com parison. 4 presidential candi- date IS only powerful as he is the representative of political princi- pies or organized ideas, and not of mere personal partialities or in tellectual accomplishments. Til den assuredly commands the res- poet of the highest and most in tellcctual clements of the democ- racy, and has the silent support of it's most thoughtful men. These ideas arc not fully develop cd m Kentucky, but they exist. The State will not instruct for any particular candidate, and it will be impolitic to do so.
