exceedingly sensible talk to the Boston

are few extracts
81 care not what mere politicians may
say, tho true craftsmanship of the coun-
try, the true sentiment and intuitve per.
eeplions of the people Of the country
will refuse to believe and refuse to base
the future legislation of the country on
the unrcasoning assertion that any por-
ton Of the people are the enemies OF the
country. 1t is true we
have had war. But that war was in
one sense conflict of theories Of con
stilutional constructions. The conflict
began in the halls Of congress, and ended
at Appomattox Courthouse. 1t was in
another sense u war Of slavery. 1t be-
gan with the disappearance of that in
stitution from your midst, and ended
with its extinction on the American CON
tinent. What more was there left for us to
quarrel over2 1t is true that, like Bet
sey and her husband, we were out, but,
like that couple also, we quarreled and
made up, and agreed to quarrel no more.
You can no more check

Our Atlanta Correspondence.
ArLANTA, GA, May 4th, 1878.

Mr.. DuNHAM desire to avail myself
of the columns of the Press, to ac-
knowledge the kind attentions aud IA
vors received at the hands of Mr.. Ben
nett, General Passenger Agent OF the
Little Rock and Fort Smith railway, the
General Passenger Agent of the Little
Rock and Memphis railroad, Mr.. Rogers,
of the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
also Col. A. p. Curry, Of the Virginia
and Tennessee airline. These gentle
men spared no efforts to make our trip
pleasant and agreeable. The Memphis
and Little Rock railroad found in much
better condition than | had been led to
believe it was.
From walk through some of the
streets of Little Rock, | am disposed to
suggest change OF name Of that place
from that Of City of Roses to that
Of Getty of Geraniums," for | saw
many finer collections Of the former than
of the latter, and call Van Buren, the
City of Roses" to which appellation |
think it more fully entitled. a look
/ through the Gazette Office, through the
courtesy of Maj. Blochcr, was an agreea-
bic surprise at the completeness of the
office, and the facilities with which work
may be done both rapidly and cheaply,
and cannot be eafelled by any office in
the country.
We were transferred, in the night,
across the river at Memphis, the sleep
err being put aboard the ferryboat al
most without noise, some Of the sleep
ers in the "sleepers" not having their
slumbers disturbed thereby. The morn
ing found us in the beautiful Tuscumbia
valley, which is picture of varied bead
ty throughout its entire length, and, in
deed, the whole valley Of the Tennessee,
as far as the railroad follows it, is of the
same character. As we near Chattanoo-
ga, we enter the magnificent mountain
scenery of that region. The first views
we get of it very much resemble views
in our own Boston Mountains but, as we
wind our way along the foot Of Lookout
mountain, the scenery becomes more
grandly magnificent than any | had ever
seen before. After passing Chattanoo.
ga we wind our way down the valley OF
the renowned valley OF the Chiekamau.

you confess neutrality between all other
contestants for nomination to state Off

my canvass that you acknowledge such
" constraint" in my case alone in other
words admit that there is necessity to

You refer to strictly confidential
communication you made to me OF your
intended withdrawal from the candida
cy for your present office, You forget
there must be always at least two parties
to confidence" You forget, also, to
state the reasons | gave for declining TO

wit: 1st, that | had already announced
myself for treasurer, and to change to
another place might put such friends as
had already declared themselves for
me, in an unpleasant prodieament, be-
cause of such avowal; ID, because | did
not wish to have imputed to me willing
ness to accept the sacrifice OF a friend !;
Sd, that | did not fear the consequences
Of candidacy for treasurer; 4th, that the

constitutional one, the same influences
that have steadily undermined me for
years, would combine to abolish the same

credtable to me, as consider acceptance

| fully appreciate your expressions of

yourself for him, your friendly heart

of the same, in the Gazette of a few
days since, which you must have seen
and request you will do so, now, and

Democratic Convention.
RooMs.DEMocRATrc STATE CEN. Con-
IiTTLE Rock. March 20, 1878.


At meeting of this committee held pu i.
uant to adjournment, in the city of Little
Rock. March 20. 1878. in was resolved by the
committee that a Convention of the Demo-
cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called
to assemble ut 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 at the general
election to be held on Monday; the ID day
of September in said year, and for the trans
action of such other business as may be deem.
ed 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
east for William X. Miller, candidate for Gov
ernor Mt the last election. held on the 4th
September. 1876
And inasmuch as it 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 of the votes
to which they are entitled, give advantage
over the distant counties in the choice ofcan-
ddates, and thereby produce confusion in the
Convention and want of harmony in the par
ty. 1t was resolved by the committee that the
number of delegates allowed to the several
counties should be limited to the number OF
votes which they are entitled to east 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 4th day
of July next, will meet at the city of Little
Rock.
