" Poker Jack Played Out"

Judge Mcclure made the Little Rock
Evening Star, q stencil in the nostrils of
decent republicanism and is dead. This
is what the Gazette says:
The Star, as Republican organ, is no
more, and its editor, John Mcclure, has
retired from the journalistic Geld again,
this time without the tormality of a val
edictory. As al organ the Star was not
success, hence its late proprietors drop
ped it. When it's purchase was effected
it was with the double view Of having a
campaign organ for the party, and for
the purpose of reaping what was expect
ed to be at least a $50, 900 bonanza in the
shape of Governments advertising of lands
to be sold in this State. But the best
laid plans went aglee-the advertising
proved to be a job in which too many
parties wanted "whack W" and while
the chickering's over a divide were in pro-
gress, the civil service reform and re-
trenchment views Of the present Admin
istration interfered, and the printing con.
tract, from many thousand dollar mag
nitude, dwindled to Lilliputian proper
tons, when taken in comparative view,
and did not amount to much over hun
dred dollars. The paper had been run
at q heavy loss to Mr.. Cooper, the pro.
prietor, who declined to put up another
cent in the way of publication, SO it drop.
ped dead, and its name, its principal stock
in trade, was passed to its late publishers,
Messrs. Webb L. Burrows, who will con.
tinue its publication, but probably in an
entire different chute from what it for
meriy followed, as they promise o-day to
announce the policy the paper will adopt
to make it worthy of generous and
general public support.

agent of the six consolidated tribes, and
Was concluded day before yesterday, af-
ter lasting several days. The large sum
claimed by the Indians is for material
taken, ties, round and SQUARE timber,
masonry, and for also coal taken from
the mines. The railroad company pro.
duces receipts for money paid for ties,
&c, to different individuals. but the plain.
tifis claim that the property belongs to
the nations in common and not TO indi-
viduals, who have no right to dispose of
the soil, timber and mineral products.
A large number of pei sons were sworn
on both sides, including Chief Cole Of the
Choctaws.
The agent conducting the suit for the
Choctaws and Chickasaws is D. + Har.

Greeley's Last Visit to the New York
Tribune Office.

A conversation between Thomas Rock

Horace Greedy, the last time the latter
was in tho Tribune Office, is given in the
Troy Press, and that paper says it has
never before been printed. Mr.. Gree.
ley's denial of the Crumbs of Comfort"
article had been twice suppressed, and
the old man climbed the stairs to the
composing-room to see Rocker about it.
The latter was sitting at his desk as he
heard Mr.. Greeley coming, and knew the
cause the visit. He rose as Mr.. Greeley
approached him and offering him his
hand said, "Mr. Greeley, am very glad
to see you.' Mr.. Greeley said, "Tom,
how is it that that article that ordered
put under the editorial head has been
left out twice?" Mr.. Rocker grasped
Mr.. Greeley's hand tighter, and replied !:
Mr.. Greeley, have received orders to-
day positively from the stockholders to
no longer recognize you as editor-in-chiet.
l am very sorry, Mr.. Greeley; it was a
terrible blow to me after such long SER
vice in the Tribune office under your
management" Mr.. Greeley, still hold
ing Mr.. Rockers hand, said: "Tom, is
this my reward Goodbye, Tom; l
shall never darken the door of the edto-
rial room of the Tribune again." This
was on the 9Th of November, and Mr..
Greeley died two weeks later, broken
hearted man. The Snn has given fac

Remembered Kindness.

The Raleigh(N. c. News of June 80
tells the following gratifying story: din
one of the hotly-contested fights in Vir-
ginia, during the war, a Federal officer
fell wounded in front of the Confederate
breastworks. While lying there wound
cd and crying piteously for water, Con-
federate soldier DANES Moore of Burke
county. IN. CO. declared his intention of
supplying him with drink. The bullets
were flying thick from both sides. and
Moore's friends endeavored to dissuade
him from such hazardous enterprise.
Despite remonstrance and danger how
ever, Moore leaped the breastwork, can
teen in hand, reached his wounded enc
my, nnd gave him drink. The Federal,
under sense of gratitude for the timely
service, took out his gold watch and off
cred it to his benefactor, but it was re-
fused. The officer then asked the name
of the man who had braved such danger
to succor him; the name was given, and
Moore returned unhurt to his position
behind the embankment. They saw
nothing moro Of each other. Moore was
subsequently wounded, and lost limb
in one of the engagements in Virginia,
and returned to his home in Burke coun-
ty. A few days ago he received CON-
munication from the Federal soldier to
whom he had given the cup Of cold wat
err on the occasion alluded to, announc-
ing that he had settled on him the sum
of SIC, 900, to be paid in fonr equal an
nual installments of $500 each. lnves-
tigation has established the fact that
there is no mistake or deception in the

THE lNCENDlARY,

We learn that the colored boy Ben
Mccullough, who left Van Buren, two or
three days after the burning of the Court
House, has been arrested at Little Rock
and put in Jail for committing the act,
and is expected up on the train tonight.
Sheriff Rottican of Pulaski, has been
working up the case for two or three
weeks, and finally arrested Mccullough
as the guilty party. Mccullough came
to Van Buren, from Fayetteville, a year
and half ago, where it is claimed he
hgs wife and child. He married wife
here and has child by her. The peni-
tertiary looks Ben in the face whether
he is guilty of burning the Court House,
or not.
