hos sent assurances that it will be
dIled to completion, while most Of
the leading powers lave asked tor

United States will be among those
countries expected to furnish the
principal features of the Exposition,
and it is gratifying to learn, now
that the Commissioners have been
appointed in the several parts of

springing up upon every hand, and
will undoubtedly claim double the
space assigned to us. Wisconsin is
not behind hand in these busy notes
of preparation, and in spite of the
depressing times, exhibitors and Wis
;tors from this commonwealth will
be fully as numerous as the delega
ton from many Of the older and
Weather Eastern States. An in
,eresting teatare Of the Wisconsin
exhibits will be the dairy products,
for which bill now pending in the
Legislature-and undoubtedly des-
tined to pass-fully provides. Our
State is taking a front rank III this
important and profitable industry,
and to day completes III the Eastern
markets on the same level with New
York and New Jersey, the undoubt-

inc at last conquered the long stand
ing prejudice against Western
dalries-which still obtains relative
to all other Of our neighboring
States; at the Philadelphia Exposi-
ton, Wisconsin dairvmen led the

This young gallant's Democracy, II
seems, is good enough for the endorse
ment of the Democratic County Com
mittee Of Jefferson. The following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted at a
meeting Of tho committee on the 18th
WHEREAS, We, the members of the
democratic central committee OF Jeiler-

that our fellow citizen, Gen. ii. hing
White, has announced himself as Il can
didatc for Congress from the Second
Congressional District and, WHEREAS,
we have noticed, with regret, that some
of the newspapers OF the state have en-
deavorod to east some doubt as to the
fealty of Gen. White to the Democratic
party therefore be it
ReS0lred, BY the democratic county
central committee of Jefferson county,
That we hereby heartily indorse Gen. H..
King White for Congress from the Sec
ond Congressional District, subject, OF
course, to the action of the convention,
and hereby declare our confidence in his
tealty to the principles Of the democratic
party, and his ability to represent the
district in the forty-sixth Congress.
If the answering Democracy of JEFF

we can see no good reason for complaint
from the Argus editor.

The Presidential Fraud Investigation,

Washington special to the st. Louis
Republican of the list says:
The select committee for the fraud III
vestigation was named, today, and isad
mitted to be very strong. Mr.. Potter the
chairman, is absent in New York, and
the committee viii not organize and get
to work before the end OF the week
The idea is to conduct the investigation
here, although it may be necessary TO
send to Louisiana and Florida for evil
denee, especially to the latter state, as
McLinn is there quite III. Driggcrs, the
probate judge Of Baker county, where
the principal frauds were committed, is
said to be in the city, under the eyes OF
the Democratic managers. Garfield pre-
scented in the house, today, u eablcgram
from Minister Noyes, asking to be sub
pmned before the committee. The lie
pubIicans are somewhat rcconeied to the
minority representation on the commit
tee, although it is not what they wanted.
Jacob d. Coz, Of Ohio, is the onl y man
on the committee who is anything of a
friend of Mr.. Hayes and his friendship
is nothing like that Of Foster, Garfield,
or Matthews of the Ohio delegation.
Great things are expected OF Reed, OF
Maine. He is n new member, but Ham
lin and other Maine men say he is the
strongest man in the Maine delegation
in or out OF the senate. The Democrats
are very we'll pleased with their repre-.

the matter of conflict of authority be.
tween the circuit court of that county
and the federal court in this city, Mr.
j. NJ Hudson writes as follows:
Can the United States court run rough
shod over the decisions of tho state
courts, and enforce the collection Of tax
cs not warranted by our constitution
This is the question at issue, and all 9th
err questions dwindle into insigniticance
by the side of it.
IF the State has no rights which the
federal judiciary must respect, the sooner
we know it, the better II our constitu
ton, which expressly limits taxation by
counties for the payment of debts exist
ing at the adoption to five mills on the
dollar, can be set aside at will by Tho

1t Is urged that conventions are stock.

politicians, and therefore rarely express

be so, why is it? simply because the peo-
pie will not attend in sufficient numbers.

Of their crops, that they connot afford to

At meeting of this committee. held pu :
uant TO adjournment, in the city of Little
Rock. March 20, 1878, In was resolved by the
committee that n Convention of The Demo-
cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called
to assemble at the City of Little Rock. on
Thursday, the 4th day of July. 1873, for TIE
purpose of nominating candidates Tor the
State offices to be voted for ut the general
election to be held on Monday; the I'd day
of September. in said year, and for the trans
action of such other business as may be DEEM
I'd advisable.
1t was resolved by the committee that the
basis of representation in said Convention
and until said Convention may otherwise or
der, shall be one vote for each 400 votes, and
one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, as
cast for William X. Miller, candidate for Gov
ernor at the last election, held on the 4th
September, 1876
And inasmueh rs 1t has been the practice
heretofore to send from the counties adjacent
to the place of holding the Convention large
number of delegates, who, by the moral
weight OF their numbers in excess ofthe votes
to which they are entitled, give advantage
over the distant counties In the choice of can
didates, and thereby produce confusonin the
Convention and want of harmony In the par
ty. 1t was resolved by the committee that the
inHHH mlssseE eeh5d 81 limited to the number of
votes which they are entitled to cast in the
Convention in compliance with which action
of the committee, hereby announce that the
Democratic State Convention, at the time
named by said committee, to wit, the 18th day
of July next, will meet at the city of Little

supplied with arms aud ammunition, and
are ready at an hours notice to coneen-
trate force 10 repel an invasion on the Ca

doubt exists in their minds that an inva

lists are now in large numbers, and with
the greatest secresy possible, making
their way into the interior of Canada,
with orders to concentrate Mt points, for
onslaught on Montreal, Quebec and OF
tawa, and other prominent Canadian
towns. 1t is reported that arms and am
munition have, for weeks past, been
brought into premises where they are
now concealed. There is rumor that
10000 men are congrcgated in the vicin.

An Atlanta, Georgia dispatch Of the
22d, says:
To day the general conference adopt
ed the report on the Nashville publish
ing house, looking to the payment of all
its debts, and providing for its continu-
ance. Atnoon the conference received
most cordially the Rev. Wesley Gaines
and Rev. w. d. Johnson, fraternal mes
scngers from the African NJ. Il. Church.
Mr.. Gaines made an excellent address,
and was followed by Mr.. Johnson, in an
effort remarkable for eloqucnce and pow
er, which was frequently heartily applau-
ded, and was pronounced by all who
heard it as a superb effort. The senti-
ment of both speeches attosted the love
of the colored people for the south, and
the hope that both races would work for
the general good. Bishop McTyere re-
piled in a happy manner, plcdging the
warmest sympathy Of his church to the
colorcd people, and promising to aid
them in every good work.
