YELLOW FEVER,

The dire plague still rages furious ly ali along the line of it's invasion. The number of deaths at the points infected first are not SO great, owing To the want of material for the dis, ease to work upon, but it is spread ing and reaching out it's gaunt arms to new fields to satiate it's rapacity. With @ death grasp it holds on iu Memphis aud New Orleans; also at Baton Rouge, Grecnville, Donaldson vile, Hickman, Canton, and other infected points,
 It is now officially announced that Louisville is among the infected places, two cases having been oflicial- y announced as originating there We trust it will not prove a contoeion there, and that the ap- proaeh of cool weather will save the place. The noble, open hearted charity of that piroe toward other stricken c!Ues ought to secure her immunity from the dread disease, and it would be sadly regretted if she should fall 8 victim to the deso- lation Memphis has experienced.
 So far "Wednesday morning,) we have no official notification Of any ease in Little Rock. The papers are silent since the 27th, and from the fact chat a prominent Little Rocker who has been at Dardanollo Springs for some time received telegram Tuesday not to come home, we fear all is not well there.
 We hope that our surmises are in correct, and that our fair Capital may not receive @ visitation from the plague,

-Ine CreenbaeN party of Fort Smith has nominated Geo. 4. Will Hams for Congress from tue Third district.
 -WE tip our hat to Bro. Bell, of the Atkins News, for q kind compli- ment paid the DEMOCRAT Tn his pa per of fast week.
 -AAKANsAs will send to the next Congress foar Democratic members of She House of Representatives and one to the senate.
 -IIoN. Jordan E. Crayeus WAS nominated fer Congress by the con gcntion which assembled at Malvern on Wednesday, the 25th ult. 'Rah for Craycns.
 -TuE re union of Gen. D, II. Reynolds brigade, which had been proposed for the 26th uIt., was post poned, on account of the yellow fev- CT, until the 2ith inst.
 -WE were much surprised at the defeat of Col Stirman, for Prescott ing Attorney in the 4th Judicial Dis trict, His opponent MT. Dinsmore defeated him by some 600 votes.
 -TuE Atkins News dissents from the view we took and expressed in commenting on the opening express ions given out by the New York De mocracy. Of course we dislike 10 disagree with our worthy brother faber-p -pusher, but still we think the New York Democracy will be all right Tn the next campaign, and the first soundings of their intentions satisfies us that they are going to be on the peoples side. We see no good to come from repulsing the de- mocracy of this great State and call ing them ugly names. There must be no eastern or western, no north ern or southern democracy in 1880, We must have one united, harmoni- ous Democracy; and when the Dem ocratic party of New York meets in convention and adopts Q state plat form, we doubt not it will be per fectly acceptable and satisfactory to the whole party throughout the en- tire country. The News, it seems, would keep the Democracy of New York alienated and refuse to ailiili- ate with them, simply because Tam many was ouco the bulwark of the bondholder. WE cordially welcome all new converts and accessions to the 'relolm currency" Democratic party, as we may term it. The New York Democracy gives evidences of coming over to us and we do not see the propriety of repulsing them.

GLORIOUS HOMELAND TOis sFaRAiEfss.

Are von farmcr--an Arkansas farmer, grnmbling, com blaming and liscontenteds thinking every body else better of than yourself? If you are, read the appended extract taken from the Bentonville Advance, and learn to appreciate your lot. Or, arc you . farmer in some of the cold bleak states-Iowa, Michigan, Min ncsota, Illinois, for instance where winter reigns with his icy rod for seven months in the year, and where the balmy breath of summer only lasts long enough to admit of four or five months farm labor during the year? If so read Col. Donan's de seription of Arkansas, and come and join us in this paradisical land and be happy as the day is long.
 What more could you want or de- sire than is afforded by land of this pleasing description;
 Why should Arkansas farmers not be the frecst and happiest race on the globe, and their grand common wealth land of enchantment and poesy, land where the angels them selves might love to dwell? With fifty five thousands square miles of territory, a magnificent empire of 1t self, embracing every variety of sec nery, soil climate and productions, from blue mountain peaks and pas tute lands, to vast river valleys of bottomless alluvion teeming with all the fruits. and fabncs of seml-trop. ic realms. A land of grandly swell ling hills, ribbed with exhaustless mineral riches, and waving with mighty forests of valuable timber. A land of gently rolling fields and meadows. with streams of limped crystyl everywhere bubbling and foaming, ripping ard sparkling, as they dance on their clear winding way to the sea. A land of beauty, health and plenty, where the bend ing heads of golden grain nod side by side with snowy bolls of the south's flecy staple. Where the soft pink orape of the myrtle mingles with the paler blossoms of the apple and pear; and the boughs of the apricot and plum, the cedar and elm, are draped with the festoons honey suckel, woodbine, grape and elena tis. Where the magnolia and cape jessamine, the peach and cherry in- tertwine their rich foliage and bloom, and send forth their blended per fumes in oders surpassing the famed breezes that sigh over Araby the blest. A land where earth has but to be tiellled by the husbandman to laugh forth harvests too great for all our barns and sJorehouses.
 What more could God and nature have done for us? Nothing, nothing; all that is needed to make our glori- ous and beautious land rejoice and blossom as the rose, re- calling visions of primeal Eden to the toil-worn way farer from less for tunate regions, is that our farmers should awake to realization of their unexample privileges and opportuni- ties, fling out the standard of Pro gress, and go to work earnestly and intlligently to raise themselves and their state to the exalted position heaven has decreed them, if they will it.

LEyYINa COUNTY TAXES.

Tue first Monday in October next Monday-is the day fixed by law for the leyylng of county taxes Ii now seems unlikely that the busi. ness of the Clccuit Court will be fin ished up this week, and it is alto. gether probable that it will take most of next week to get through. This being the case the meeting of the County Court to levy taxes will be deferred until the third Monday Tn October, at which time the law makes it the duty of the County Judge and the Justices of the Peace of the county to be present at the County Seat to transact the business of levying the county taxes. This is au important matter and all the officials concerned in it should be on hand.
 The law governing the proceedings of the county quorum when assem- bled for levying taxes can be found by referring to article 30, section z, of the Consultation of 1874, and the acts of tho General Assembly, ap- proved March 5, 1871, and the suc- eeeding sections of the act; also sec ton 9 of article I6 of the Constitu- ton of 1874, where the rate of taxa tion for county purposes IS fixed.

LAW.
 A case of some importance and of much interest was brought up In our Circuit Court last saturday. The case was State ys. Reynolds < Nc Conncll, for selling liquor in viola tion Of the law prohibiting the sale of ardent spirits within three miles of an incorporated school. The counsel for the defendants, Mir J. ". Toomer, of Yell, filed demurrer on the grounds of uDconstitutionality of the law under which the indlct- ment was found. In afgning the demurrer Col. Toomer made very able speech and presented an array of very strong authorities, including decisions by the Supreme Courts ol Missouri, California, Kentucky, Yer mont and Pennsylvania the three former being of character to stoutly support the demurrer, and the two latter being against it.
 Ne are not able to announce the result ofthis case in to-day's paper, but will do oln our next.

The Whipping Post.

We were not prepared to beleiyC that any member of the press of the State was actually and avowedly in favor of the whipping post, pilIory and the stocks. The Atkins News is openly in favor oft, and one ol two others want to wait and see how it operates m Virginia. The News is entitled to credit for it's openness, but we cannot say the same of its judgement. The News, in support of it's position, says whipping, is per mitted and praeticed in the peuiton- tiary. We'll, prison discipline may demand such severity at times, in correcting and forcing to rule every refractory inmate. A law for the is vastly different. Under 1t almost any man or woman, white or black, could be proceeded against, and tes- timony to convict could be had, too, when innocence was the fact, Such a law is attendant with many, too many dangers to become a part of the statutes of Arkansas. While we can apply other and better remedies, let Us leave to the past all reminis- cencs Ofbarbarism and inhumanity. Ft. Smith Herald,

The List COmDieted.

l.. R. Gazette: There is now a reg ularly nominated Democratic candi- date for Congress in each of the four Districts of Arkansas, viz; Poindex- ter Dunn, of the First; Wm. F. SIemons, in the Second; Jordon E. Crayens. in the Third; and Thos. Nj. Gunter, in the Fourth. They are all men of high standing; of uEeXcep- tionable morals; of recognized abil- ity, and undoubtcd loyalty. They are all gentlemen of whom the party may justly be proud, for their is nothing either in the character or personal or political record of either, that reflects the slightest reproach ei ther upon himself, hIs party or his state. It affords us proud satis- faction to present these candidates and representatives of the Democrat, ic party to the people of Arkansas, as gentlemen in every way worthy of their confidence and esteem.
 With a ticket so unexceptionable in every respect; and with our party more united and more harmonious than it has been for years, we may confidently expect a solid democratic representation in the 4Gth Congress.

ne WlSa 10 say lAsb lew WoiHs to the people of Pope county in re gard to being rcprcscntatcd at the State Fair, We worked zealousIy to get our people sufficiently interested to start county fair organization of our own, so that we might have q competitive display Of our farm prod fuets and other articles worthy of ex hibition at home, but we have seen the matter fail for want of sufficient interest being taken by the masses ofthe people.
 We now urge our farmers and stock raisers in Pope county to avail themselves of the opportunity which the State fair will afford them, to show what we can do. Good fortune 1 helps and fayors those, who helD themselves. This is an age when we must progress upon our own merits. If we want to secure the benefit which accrues from a large accession of industrious laboring men, and en- terprising capitalists, we must do something to show that we have q country which merits and in yites this kind of immigration. It I will not do fer us to sit down and wait, without making an effort. for ourselves, for other people to come here to make us rich, great and pros porous. We must show by our own prosperity and thrift that the others can prosper and do well by coming here. The best evidence oi our prosperity, the best evidence of our | resources and capabilities, and the most convincing argument we can make to strangers, who are seeking new homes. is to show the fruits and products and growths off our soil. As the tree is known and prized for the exceJleney of it's fruit, so We can con vince the world of the desirability of Arkansas as a farmers home and as a promising fed for the erterprising capitalist, by showing the products and results of the efforts of those who are here.
 We earnestly urge it upon the far mers of Pope County to see to it that our county is honorably represented in the display of farm products, which will be made at the State fair We have one of the best coun- ties in the State, and it lies right in the path of the immigrant who is seeking new homes in the west. Any exertion which we make to place our county and it's attractions prominently before the many pros pectors who will visit the State Fair, will be amply rewarded.
 Now let us do our duty on this oc- casion. Let us see who are our live men. Let us see who is wiling to take little trouble and little pains to properly show off our county's merits. Let@us see how many will be willing now to do something prac- tlcal for our county. We always have plenty of VERY patriotic gentle men who are exceedingly jealous to serve their country when there is an office to fill or distinguished honor to be conferred; let us see now who are really the beneGactors and friends of our county and State. To those who will now do something for the honor of our county will be due more praise than to any blatant of flee seeker who ever mounted the stump. Farmers often complain of THEIR interests being neglected and overlooked by our rulers and off cials but now they have an opporru- nifty to strike a blow for themselves. Let us see if they will do it.
