bushes and one of them grabbed him by the
throat, but Mr.. Lloyd being an able-bodied man
proved too much for the pair, knocking them
about in such a manner to cause them to beat
hasty retreat, one of them with blood squirting
from his nose and mouth. After the affray Mr.. L..

says: "The Board of Control of Summit Grove
Camp meeting Association met at New Freedom
on Wednesday, large amount of business was
transacted and Thursday the 9th of August, 1877,
was fixed as the commencement of the next camp,
to continue twelve days. The presidents report
was read and referred to a committee for publlca-
ton. 1t shows an encouraging state OF the AFFAIRS
of the association.
The proposition of inclosing the ground and
charging an admission fee, in substitution for
collection on the grounds were referred to separate
committees. The plan of an admission feels very
far preferable to that of public collections Ii q
suitable plan can be perfected to meet the idea"

A Dead Arkansian.

We find the following in the Delta County (Texas) Herald of the l7th February:
 George Perkins, stranger in Del ta county, from Crowley Ridge, Ar kansas, died very suddenly in Coop. CT last Friday night at the residence of Mr. Geo. Yates. Everything that could be done was done to save hls life. He received a decent burial, and his body was quietly inferred in the cemetery last Saturday evening, Arkansas papers will please copy the above in order that his parents and family may know how their son died and where. By writing to us we will forward snch mementoes as he left, and tell them of the kind treatment he received from tho hands of Mir. and Mrs. Yates.

Fort Smith and Little Rock
 Railroad.

We believe the Fort Smith and Little Rock Railroad is not at pres
 ent yielding very great return to the company owning it. On the contrary, we presume it is in the condition of most of the roads in the South and West--either run at loss or barely paying expenses. Let this be as 1t may, no person traveling over the road and witnessing the many Improvements along it's line the many thriving towns and villag- es that have sprung up as if by magic from Argenta to Fort Smith = the rev life, energy and vigor that have taken possession of the o,d towns-the lands that are being opened for c.ltivatlon-the general activity which it has infused into all the country through which it passes, can doubt the great advan
 tagcs that tlis enterprise has brought to the people. Trayersing a large extent of most excellent country this road is doing as much, perhaps more, for the development of the varied resources of Arkansas than any sim
 liar enterprise in the State. The great coal fields of the river valley in the counties of Pope, Johnson and Franklin lie directly on it's line, and when Arkansas shall enter upon career of manufactures as we hope she will in the near future, these mines will become a most important factor in the development of her wealth. Timber of all kinds common to our latitude forests of oak, pine and other valuable wood constitute aa important feature of the country along the road, while building stone of the finest material is found in in exhaustible quantities. Good water abounds everywhere. All of these natural advantages of soil, water, timber and minerals, with the fine climate which Arkansas enjoys, arc waiting for the wide.awake immi- grant. All of these natural resourc- es in boundless profusion are waiting for the busy hand of industry to come and develop them. To the immigrant who would secure a home for little money in a section which is rapidly improving and destined soon to be densely populated, the lands along the Fort Smith and Lit tie Rock Railroad present an invit- ing field. There are few better To- cal ties for the poor man, while to the man of capital there is no better portion of the State for investment of his means.-Gazette.

THE FIRST MONTH.

The first month of the new Admins tration is just closed. The country has before it the practical workings of one forty-eighth of the whole time allotted to this new rule which was heralded beforehand with such great promises, such fair pledges, and such immense boasts of what 1t would ac- complish for the country which for eight years had been suffering under the evils of Grantism. Remembering that close and eternal vigilance is the only safeguard which there is to the liberties of free people, it is important that we keep close note of what is, and may be, accomplished by tue new
 administration. So let the review be commenced at this, the close of the first
 month. And in the beginning, let it be understood that the DEMOCRAT is not one of those papers which are disposed to sna.l and grumble at everything done by an Administration of adverse politics with itself, simply on account Of that difference in political opinions. Let it be understood that the DEMOCRAT is willing always to accord full and eX- act credit to any and every official, nc matter what may he his political faith, for every meritorious aet. But let il all so be understood that the DEMOCRAT in- tends to urge npoa the people the ne- cessity for holding every official, from the highest down to the lowest to a strict accountability for the manner in

NEW LAWS.

The batch of new laws which we give publication to this week are im- portant and of direct interest to the people. No. ? is in regard to the i'm portant writ of habeas corpus and pre- seribes the judicial source from whence this writ may issue. No. is an import ant act of much utility. It is in regard to the sales of real estate of deceased persons, and is a measure which will secure justice to creditors of estates in despite of the s.ub0ornness of adminis- trators, and executors. No. pre- scribes the power of magistrates in re- gard to allowing bail and committing to jail or to the custody of peace officer.
 We shall continue from week to week to publish the new laws until we have given our readers all that are of any general interest. It would be well for our subscribers to save files of the paper containing these laws.

MORE COMPROMISE WITH
 WRONG.

The nation in distressed Louisiana still remains in statu quo, and the great Hayes is now trying to shuffie out of the responsibility of doing his sworn duty in the premises by sending com mission to that State. The commission consists of Judge Charles Lawrence, of Illinois; ex-Gov. J. c. Brown, of Ten nessee; Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut; Gen. John M. Harlan, of Kentucky; and Wayne McVeigh, of Pennsylvania.
 These gentlemen are to visit Louisi- ana,-haye already gone hither. What for, or with how much power to act for the administration, it would be hard to tell. Is it to patch up another trade with Louisiana, whereby the people of that State will be permitted by the gra- cious Hayes to enjoy part of their rights ou condition that they will stand with folded hands and allow the robDer the Republican party-to despoil them of perhaps the greater part? Is II ailOticF uecOy set bF tue HhIcWu ic- publican managers whereby to rob free people of God-given rights, and to still longer strangle a republican form of government in Louisiana. What in the name of common sense has Law renee of Illinois, Brown of Tennessee, Hawley of Connecticut, Harlan of Ken lucky, or McYeigh of Pennsylvania, to do with the State affairs of Louis jana; and why do they consent to dab ble in states affairs at the instance of a republican administration who came by his own title by the means of q patched up, unconstitutional trade?
 We trust that the Democratic leaders have nothing to do with this tampertng with the state affairs of Louisian a. We trust that the commission may not mean furthur compromise with wrong, but that is the way it looks to us. Certain it is that it is giving dig nifty and an importance to the sham Packard government which is unwar- ranted and dangerous. When will the time come when there shall be no toler- alton among the people for compromis- ing with fraud and wrong?

THE DEMOCRAT
THE FRAUD, CHAMBERLAIN

And now, comes the fraud, Chamber lain, and asks for little 3 to } Com- mission to count him in as fraudulent governor of South Carolina. We hope so long as Governor Hampton has his good right arm he will never yield his title under the decision of any power now in existence in our government. He has had the title conferred upon him by the sovereign people of his own State, and has been recognized by all the judicial authority in the State, and we do not fear that he will now turn traitor to his people by lending any conntenence to any movement which may be calculated to add dignity and importance % Chamberlain s pretences.

and would hail tho arrival of a large colony withsa shout of joy. We be lieve we are indebted to the Little Rock and Fort Smith railway for much of the immigration this Valley is receiving. The agents of this road are active and obliging and are doing great deal to improve the country. II they are actuated by selfish motives, as may be said by some grumbler, it makes no differ ence to us; they bring population and wealth and we are satisfied. Who is not selfish? The other roads of the State are doing what they can Tn the same way we suppose; but the Fort Smith road brings men to stay and till the earth. This Valley from the mouth of the river to the Indian line, will become immensely wealthy, and this road will be 0ne of the prin cipal means. If the Pine Bluff road could have had assistance, it would have aided the Fort Smith road, and both together would help develop and populate this great Valley. While we oppose granting monopo lies and vested rights, we would op pose all unfriendly legislation or prejualce against any of our roads. They have difficulties enough to en- counter aud should not be looked on as enemies. Contraction of the cur rency and hard times effect them as we'll as the farmer.

Little Rock x Fort Smith Rail-
 way and the Arkansas Valley.

There are some men who look up- on railroads as the enemy of the people. This is very foolish view and we trust there are very few such men in our part of Arkansas. I he only trouble is we have not railroads enough. We have reason, however, to be proud of those which we have in this part of our State, for there is no mistake about it the Little Rock and Fort Smith road is now doing more for this country than anything else. The efforts put forth by the Land Department has attracted much attention and raised much en- quiry in regard to the country be- tween Little Rock and Van Bureh. The road has been great blessing to our people. The management of the road, in its different departments is in good hands, and in control of gentlemen of energy and fine busl- ness qualifications.
 The last issue of the Weekly Grange pays the following tribute to the road. It is fully deserved and we wish the road a prosperous and successful career.
 This is road which does not car ry immigrants through this State in to anotbcr, but one which is trying to do something to settle up our va cant lands. We frequently meet people from Illinois, Indiana and Iother States, and from Germany and the other day we met fine specimen of humanity from La Belle France. The French gentle man had his better half with him, and that means that he has come to stay. We learn that there are others
 f his eountrymen with him. They arc all welcome. We love the French
