Temperance ar LlItIe fioCk.

The Democrat of the goth, speaking
of the introduction Of the Murphy move
ment, at Little Rock, by Mr.. J. N. Viii
son, who laborod here so faithfully and
successfully, says as follows;
There was large audience at the ope-
IA house, yesterday evening, the occa-
sion of holding up the vice Of intemper-
ance so its blackness could be seen, and
Illustrating the blessings Of sobriety so
that its influence might be felt. Hon. J.
n. Wilson first addressed the audience,
and in his perspicuous way drew around
his hearers the network Of interest. He
spoke of the great evil, not as an evil
for which there is no remedy, but like
the physician prescrbcs cure. His
speech was not long, hardly half so long
as temperance speeches usually are, but
it fell like solid Heterogeneous so
heavy that no rebound was known.

re- Washington dispatches of the 23d
say that Senator Lamar's speech on the
Pacific Railroad, was an able, elaborate,
and original effort in favor Of the bill.
He endeavored to demonstrate that the
scheme is one favored by the greatest
minds, and called for by the necessities
of the times that the guarantee to the
Government is ample, and assuming the
Government to pay tho annual interest
on the bonds, that the amount thus paid
will be less than what was paid for mails
alone before the war. The speech at
trrcted great attention, and is pronounc-
ed the ablest argument yet made on this
important subject.

ALMA JOTTINGS.

ALMA May 25th, 1878.
At meeting of large number of the cit
liens of Alma and vicinity, held in Langs-
tons Hall, to give expression to their choice
for next governor. Dr. &. w. Smith was APP
pointed chairman, and j. I. Hollowell, See
rotary.
On motion, the following committee on
resolutions was appointed:
Col. M. f. locke Maj. John Murta, j. d
james, Nat. A. Couch, Z. S. Decherd and j
d. Williams. who, after retiring, reported
through Chairman NJ. f. Locke, the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted, with request for publication by the
county papers.
WHEREAS. We earnestly approve the
straight forward and candid course pursued
by Vim. Il. Miller, as Governor, and his un-
swerving advocacy and defence of the intrin-
sic interests and success Of this, his native
State, and, with great pride have witnessed
how futile and harmless were the missiles
aimed at his devoted head by violent, and Of
ten selfish partisans, to advance their own
schemes and ambitious ends.
AND WHEREAS. His enemies have failed te
successfully show any serious fault in his
present policy the soundness of his political
creed, or with his administration, except that
us memb.r of the Finance Board, with hi;
superior knowledge of the true financial con-
dition of the State, and feeling peculiar
pride in keeping the escutcheon OF the State
untarnished. he has differed with many Of his
political friends, when it is a fact that very
few agree on any given plan by which The
same shall be settled.
AND WHEREAS There are great differences
of opinion IN the Democratic party, on this
difficult question, us to what the true tiDan-
cial policy of our State is. and all agree that
owing to the depressed financial condition OF
very many of tho counties, and of the State
itself. we cannot now enter upon any perma-
nent plan of legislation. Therefore
RESOLVED, That, amid the conflicting opn-
ions, the plans and counter plans of friends
while surrounded by insidious and collusive
enemies. watching for breach in our ranks
every consideration of patriotism and inter-
est combine to move us to keep the democrat
ic party intact that we may present An nm
broken front to our common enemy, the Re-
publican party.
Resotred That Gov. VIM. r. Miller has
been tried, and ever proven true to the in
stincts of honor and the faithful discharge OF
public duty, and his fidelity to the true land
marks of Democracy has been beyond all
question, and on the difficult question of FL
nance we are willing to trust to his intelli-
gence and general integrity of character.
Resoltcd, That in our view of the forego-
ing facts, believing, as we do, that Gov. Mill
er is the choice of large majority OF the
Democratic voters of Crawford county, we
recommend him to the county convention. to
assemble at OLIVER Springs, on the 10th of
June next, as the man of all others for our
next Governor.

the remarkable man and his fair, accom-.

heard of the talents of the two seek them

maintained that Southern women are not
SO well educated as their Northern sisters,
were quite taken by surprise when they
heard the daughter of Representative
Goode, from Norfolk, sing with the me-
thod and culture Of one who had enjoyed
the advantage of any of the great metro
polises. The quality of her voice is the
purest soprano, and her rendition Of a
duet with Mrs. Camp from Rigoletto re-
ceived an encore. She looked charming
in an elegant evening toilette of pure
white. Miss Montgomery, of New Or
leans, the sister of Mrs. Randall Gibson.
has had superior advantages in the de-
velopment and training of her lovely
voice. She was tapghtin Europe by the
best masters, aud sings superbly, The
audience was taken by storm when the
daughter of Representative Randolph
Tucker, of Virginia, sang soprano solo
from Cloyelly. and the enthusiasm of the
audience reached the highest pitch at its
conclusion, and when she was recalled
she responded with the archness and ma
irete of child, and gave humorous
song of the courtship and marriage Of a
pussy cat. The young lady is apparent
