Legal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ImmI-
grafton, and Picnic Prepare
uiOns-

SfatiOA, ana P1cntc PreparA-
IiOns.
By letter from Palisade, we learn
prietor of the Eureka Hotel, recently
appointed Justice of the Peace for that
township, has established his head
quarters-judicialIy-in Mr.. l.. l. Ho-
gle's building, and having received all
of the hooks and papers pertaining to
that office from his predecessor, is now
prepared to dispense justice to all of
the dodgers of the law, and runaway
debtors from Eureka, without distinc.
ton as to age, sex or condition.
The sign and bulletin board, recent
ly referred toin the SENTINEL as being
prepared by Lambert Molinelli, has
been received and set up in a c%onspicu-
Gus place. Judge Evans was forced to
adopt it as a measure OF protection.
The immigration from Sunny Italy is
very large, and the Eureka Hotel is
their headquarters during their en-
forced stay at Palisade. The building
IS painted white, and the sojourners
seem to regard it as an eligible means
of communication with those who are
following them. As a consequence,
the front was adorned with messages
and inscriptions in the Italian Ian
guage, and each arrival fastened to it
and perused the news and Information
contained thereon with the same
avidity that an American would seek
a fresh newspaper. The proprietor
hopes, by the aid of the bulletin board,
to divert them from the utilization of
the clean face of the structure and per-
suade them to use their pencils on the
former.
The Palisaders are making elaborate
preparations for the entertainment of
the picnickers, on the 25th instant, and
everything will be done on their part
to make the event a pleasant one. By
no means will the spread at the Eureka
Hotel be one of the least of the attrac-
tons. A royal dinner will be served,
and the guests may rest assured that
the table will abound with numberless
good things in the eating line. The
e~xcursionists will have a chance to
ruralize without experiencing any of
the discomforts that usually character
iZe trips of this nature.

That Alleged Indian Killing.

An item went the rounds of the pa

Mr.. Chas. Bennett, a former resident
of Eastern Nevada, had killed four In

land troubles. 1t is now asserted that
the item was wholly Mr..

in receipt of a letter from MIR. Bennett
stating that he has never had any diff
ticulty whatever with the Indians of
his neighborhood. The SENTINEL
having been one of the papers which
gave publicity to the story, cheerfully
gives Mr.. Benefits denial.

Shooting Scrape at Eberhardt-
one Man Killed and Another


one Man H1lked ana Another
Wounded.
Our correspondent at Hamilton
sends us the following particulars of a
shooting scrape that occurred at Eber-
hardt, on Saturday night last. A
telegram, received at the SENTINEL
office yesterday, informs us that the
Coroner's jury rendered a verdict OF
j%ustifable homicide:
HAMILTON, May 10.
EDITORS SENTINEL: A homicide
was committed at Holmes saloon, Eb-
erhardt, at 2 o'clock this morning.
Nelson Bush shetland killed one John
son, a late arrival from Arizona. The
particulars, as your correspondent
learned them this morning in an in
terview with Bush at the County Jail,
are about as follows: The parties were
playing cards, and some dispute aris-
ing, Johnson drew his pistol and COM
menced firing at Bush, the ball strik-
ing him in the left hand, iniicting a
slight wound. Bush was unarmed at
the time the shooting commenced, and
asked a friend to give him a pistol to
defend himself. The pistol was given
him, and he shot Johnson three times,
Johnson dying about fifteen minutes
after. Johnson is said to have drawn
his pistol frequently on other parties,
and the general impressian is that
Bush was perfectly justified in the kill
ing. A Coroner's inquest is now being
held on the murdered man. Bush
came to Hamilton after the shooting
and delivered himself up. AS the
Grand Jury is yet in session, the case
will be investigated to morrow. d.

lIATClIED OUT.

The Greenbaels State Central Com
mittee have, at last, hatchcd out State
ticket, or, at least, have put out a por
ton of one. Among tho names is that
of Gen. N. p. Burrow, evidently intend
ed for Gen. N. B. Burrow, Of this eoun-
ty. The General was ono Of the Dele
gates TO the Democratic State Conven-
tion took part in the nomination ofthc
ticket headed by Gov. Miller, and we are
not ready to believe that he will so far
forget himself as to be led off after
strange gods" without knowing with
er he will drift. Gen. Burrow is too old
and able politician to be caught with
such chatf. Below we give the ticket as
il now stands:
For Governor, w. ?, Grace, Of Jeffer-
son county Secretary of State, Chas. r..
Cunningham, of Pulaski Justice Of Su-
premo Court, Freeman W. Compton, of
Dallas Attorney General, N. p. Bur

" The White-PIume Waving"

All is not '.lovely" in the radical-grcen
back camp, at Little Rock. AT county
convention the grcenbackors nominated
a complete county, senatorial and repre-
sensitive ticket for Pulaski county. The
wing Of the radical party led by Judge
Mcclure, better known as "Poker Jack, "
refuses to be gobbled-up' in any such
way, and the result has been a county
convention was called for August 3D..
But, in the meantime, a reporter Of the
Democrat interviews Mcclure, aud this
is what he says:
"Good evening, judge" said report
or of the Democrat, last evening to Judge
John Mcclure, in front of tho Capital
hotel, =" if you could stand an interview,
| wish you would walk across to Colonel
Currey's Office"
"Cortainly, sir" he replied, and forth
with we repaired to the Office indicated
above.
alt is reported you will be a candidate
on the republican ticket for the State
senate in this district, and l desire to
know how much truth there is in the
statement" said the reporter.
"Well, will tell you how the thing
stands" said the judge. I" l am can
didate for the nomination before the re
publican convention, and if | get it, will
be a candidate, and will make a through
canvass of the district"
al thought it was understood there
would be no republican county ticket in
the field" continued the reporter.
81 don't know anything about any
understanding" he said.
"When did you make up your mind
to become candidate" we asked.
81 had no idea of running until last
Saturday, when attended the republi
can mass convention in the Benjamin
block. There / saw the representative
republicans of the county the men who
had always done the work, and carried
the county for the republicans. There
was an exception. Jack Agery and hi;
half brother were not present. In thai
meeting or convention there was nc
wrangling. no strife, but an earnest dc
sire to perpetuate the party, and place
before tho people ticket of good ant
responsible men for the offices. If they
give me the nomination at the delegated
convention, next Saturday, shall spare
no effort to faithfully serve my party
and, if elected, have no doubt but wha
| shall receive the Office

Won't Touch the Thing.

Judge F. W. Compton, of Little Rock,
who was put on the grecnback radical
ticket for Associate Justice, won't have
to do with the unclcan thing.
Tho old Democratic party, and tho tick
OF nominated at Little Rock, arc good
enough for him. This is the letter:
LITTLE Rock. Ark. July 30. 1878.
Hon. D. 0'Sullivan:
In the Post my namc appears as tho
candidate of the Greenbaclx Labor party
for the Office of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. While l appreciate the
compliment, avail myself of the occa-
sion to say that, for reasons which it is
not necessary to state, cannot consent
to the use of my name in the connection
mentioned. Besides, it may not be i'm
proper to add, that, inasmuch as the
Democratic party, to which belong, has
introduced into the State platform 0
plank which maintains substantially the
same doctrines touching the National
finances, which you advocate, l am not
willing to take any step that would tend
to place me in antagonism to tho politi
cal party with which ] have 80 long &C
ted. Very truly, yours,

ing card from Richard Thruston
VAN BURES, July 81, 1873.

|
ing card from Richard Thruston
VAN buren,, July 81, 1873.
EDITOR Argus:
just word in vindcation Of myself, ifyou
| please. Durham, of the Press, in his usual
style of reckless disregard of truth or justice
charges me with publishing the Davis circu-
lar in the interest of w. l. Taylor's candida
ey for Sheriff and that Mr.. Taylor paid for
| the printing of said circular. Now | have
only to say that his charges are false in their
conception, false in the abstract, and damna-
bly, false in each particular allegation.
RICHARD TllRUSTON.
Now, Thruston, either did not read our
article, or his mind was so clouded by
prejudice and determination to find
fault, that he could not comprehend the
English language. Here is what we said,
and aH we said, on the point complained
of and we stand up to every word of it,
and Richard Thruston, by his threaten
ing attitude wW not drive lis from it. If
! the circular is not in the interest Of the
radical candidate for Sheriff, we should
like to know Uherefa it is not. This is
what we said
'The document was n contemplate display
of personal animosity, on the part of the wri-
ter toward Mr. Davis, and the weight OF its
influence with democrats should be judged
from the fact that 1t is being printed and cir
culated by radicals, in the interest of the can
didate of that party
There is not word or intimation that
Taylor paid for the printing, although it
is generally surmised that it was done by
someone else than the author of the bonn
bastic card above. We say the circular
,eas printed and circulated by RADICALS in [
the INTEREST of the RADICAL CANDIDATE.
THAT is so. Thruston, who fathers the I
circular, is not democrat, and never was,
and has, in the previous elections, sup
ported J. p. Grady, the radical candidate
for Sheriff, and, in fact, has been a dis
old croaker ever since the
war and is no more entitled to take part
in democratic conventions than tho most
pronounced radical. We knoW that the
radical friends of Mr.. Taylor are cireu-
lating Thruston's document, and we are
willing discriminating reader should
judge who is right in this controversy.
A man, before complaining of the i'm
perfections Of his neighbors, however,
should first make himself pure.

New YORK, July 80,

NEW YORK, July ~, 1878.
OF all the cute, inquisitive creatures
that this country produces. the New
York Yankee stands prominent, and
fourishcs most luxuriantly in the eastern
part of tho State. Recently returning
from Ohio, l took the road leading
through Elmira and Binghampton, when
one of these inquiring machines took a
seat in front of me, asked where l was
from, and listened attentively to con-
versation between the person seated next
to me, and myself, relative to the wheat
crop in Ohio. said thought the pri-
ces would be very low, as there would
be but little demand south. Why not?'
says the machine. Because the South
is making meat and bread enough to do
them" "Oh now | know who you
are. You are a New York wheat-buycr." i"
"You are wrong, this time, my good man ;
have been taken for Baptist preach
er." NO." says he, a guess you are
an Episeopalian." "No, am neither"
replied. Just then we passed the town
of Jonesvillo, where there is one of the
largest alpaca mills in America, and he
commenced telling what a fine article
they made and although it was called
all wool, it contained some superior cot
ton called Sea Island. This led the con-
versation to cotton production, and its
various qualities. "Wcll," says Yahk,
"now kno,o what you are. You are q
New York cotton merchant" Mista-
ken, again." says l. All at once the car
door was thrown open, and one of those
annoying vendors Of sundries, with a
basket of apples, bawled out, Apples
all ripe, Arkansas apples" immedi-
ately looked up at tho word Arkan-
sas," and called the vender to me. The
fruit were Tennessee June apples, ripe,
and well-looking. The vender insisted
they were Arkansas apples. l said they
were not, and gave a discourse on the
different varieties the State produces,
mentioning my favoritc Shannon. When
was through, Cute said !" Now, mister,
do tell me who and what you are
/" I am not Murpheyite, though my
friend, Felix Smart. is" Perhaps"
says he, "you are Murphy, himself
q Not quite" says l, +" for l am New
York liquor merchant" He looked me
straight in the eye, drew long breath,
and exclaimed, 81 hope you sell the
right kind of stuff"
"BoGGY."

ET The following, from the Kentucky
New Era, we recommend tc the democ
racy of Arkansas, and Crawford county
in particular:
Democrats, stand fast by tho colors
of your party Do not permit your
selves to be led off into new political
ventures by misguided political dream
ers. The only means Of bringing relief
to the people of this country, lies within
the democratic organization. The rcins
of government are almost within its
grasp, and within the next year it will
beyond peradventure, be installed as the
law making party of the country. Then
stick to the old party of the constitution
and the people"
The Van Buren press., 1878-08-06

Arkansas Democrat: Durham, of the
Van Buren, Press, says tho association
" fooled" its time away at Hot Springs.
Baldwin, of the Lawrence County Jour
nal, thinks Brother Durham might have
done so, as he is one of the number who
hurried off before the association was
half through with its business.
If the session just passed, has accom-
plished anything for the benefit of the
fraternity Of the State, we shall be glad
to note it. and shall look very anxiously
for the published proceedings. 1t was
the 5th annual session of the Associa
ton, and if the newspapers Of the State
have ever received any substantial ben
eft from the meetings, we have yet te
learn it. That we have successfully dead
headed the towns, hotels, steamboats, ant
railroads, is evident; but, SO far rs the
printers Of the State receiving any ben
eft, We are unable 10 see ii.

ET The grconback organ, the Little
Rock Post, says: Al. Cunningham has
got another recruit besides Keno, i. G.,
Judge John Mcclure. Since the time
his father blocked him out for preach
er, his political proclivities have always
been doubtful, it is said, by those who
know. him best. Many considerations
have always been influencing his fertile,
but orratic mind, and they say bo can
writc feft.handed with his caustic pen."
1t is said that left handed men strike a
terrible blow; and if we arc not decciv-
ed, Poker Jack" will give the green
laA'sers, of Pulaski one between tho
eyes.
The Van Buren press., 1878-08-06

ET Our attention is called to ru-
NOR ahoat in the country, that the lead
ing citizens of Van Buren township
were not going to support Mr.. Ben.
Dccherd, for County Judge. This is
certainly mistake. We know Of no
opposition to Mr.. Decherd and be is the
nominee of the party, and every way
qualified, and we can see no reason why
he should not receive, as we think he
will, ,.every democratic vote. Such sto-
ries are inventions of our opponents
who hope to create discussions in oul
ranks. There should be no stragglcrs
from the democratic ticket. Unity o.
action, with full vote and all will be
well.
