DOKSEY'S SUCCESSOR.

The coming man who shall succeed Senator Dorsey is being discussed by the press of the State. The Ozark Democrat hoists the name of Judge Mansfield. Among all the distinguished gentlemen who have been named in this connection none would fill the place with more honor to the State than Judge Mansfield. He is the peer of any man yet named. Without the least taint of reproach attached to his good name, with his we'll known integrity of character and motives, with his Roman firm ness, his dignity and learning, there is no son of Arkansas who would more ably represent her in the halls of Congress than the Hon. W. W. Mansfield, We say Arkansas may well be proud of the day she sends Mansfield to Congress.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-11
MEXICO.

Things on our Mexican frontier are looking decidedly squally just now, and the prospect is that unless there is change in the way things have beed going, a general war with Mexico will ensue. Intelligence from Fort Davis, dated Oct 9th, says that Mexican mob 400 strong took possession of Ysteta and San Eliza Rec, Texas, and had all the county officials prisoners, threaten ing thelr lives. The greasers arc feeling very sore over the recent in yasions of their territory by the U. $. troops on the Rio Grande, and it is only owing to the forbearanee or fears of the Diaz Government that hostilities have not already been commenced. The shaky and uncer- tain state of affairs on our Mexican frontier will perhaps recieve atten- tion at the hands of the near term of Congress. We doubt very much the wisdom or propriety of plunglng the country into war to satisfy the an nexationists.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-10-11

contract, and we have no hesitation in saying it is an outrage upon the State. If the holders of the good bonds wish to compromise, we re- peat, as we have said heretofore, let the State make fair compromise with them, but base the sum to be paid them solely upon the value of the good bonds, and in the name of all decency and justice don't under take to pay them enough to satisfy them and also buy up millions of fraudulent bonds which our Supreme Court has said we don't owe.
 If our Finance Board will treat directly with the holders of the good bonds and tell all middle men and go- -betweens to stand aside, we can soon see how much real truth there IS in the assertion that our creditors want an equitable compromise. This is the fair, square, open way of doing this business.
