Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
Grant Of Lands,

The following letter from W ID. Slack,
Land Commissioner Of the Fort Smith
Railroad Company, conveys important
and interesting information to all who
have purchased or contemplate purehas-
ing lands from this company. There is
no doubt about the title:

Inasmuch as reports have been gencr-

state upon authority, that the Land Com

Inc Eastern question:

London dispatches, Of the 18th inst,
say:
The congress is expected to last many
weeks. With Bulga ia the subject OF
to-day's session, the Times says: 1t is a
characteristic Of Prince Bismarck that
he brought the congress at once face to
face with the chet difficulty it has to
overcome. For, however pregnant the
Asiatic question may G with important
consequences, nothing compares in I'M
mediate importance and in the certainty
of its important results with the propos
ed reorganization Of Bulgaria. The
question is simply whether Europe OF
Russia shall exercise a preponderating
influence in European Turkey. The con-
gress could not deal hastily or rapidly
with question so important and so com,
plex Its delays and frequent adjourn
ments, so far from suggesting uniavora
bic issues, only show the congress is a
real not merelya formal, assembly, and
that it will enter thoroughly into the
questions submitted to it. The truth is.
it would be impossible to bring together
a body of such powerful statesmen mere.
" to ratify torcgone conclusions. The
balance Of opinion pronounced at the
congress will be quite distinct from the
views of particular states. Andrassy
still insists that Russian occupation of
Bul garia shall cease on the conclusion of
definite peace.

sss- The Fayetteville Sentinel says ::
AT the primaries, last Saturday, we learn
that the attendance was slim everywhere.
There was fair sample here. This
township cast 552 democratic votes in
1876, and last Saturday, at the township
meeting, the vote. of the township in the
county convention was decided by forty
one men-the vote being Hughes, Al,
Miller 36. We have no complaint to
indulge in, but it shows n want of inter
est in public affairs, that is to be de-
plorcd.
A majority of the townships of Wash
ington county, it is understood, instruct
for Hughes.

EDITOR Press Dear Sir: As n voter
of Crawford county, | desire, through
your columns, with your permission, to
direct the attention Of the electors OF the
county to the manner in which the can
vass Tor the Office Of sheriff is being con-
Quoted. allude to the scandalous cam
paign charges made against Mr. Thomas
Davis. Now he is charged with many
dishonest acts, some said to have occur
red in the first part of Capt. Winirey 5
term of office. We never heard OF them
until just now, a few days before the
primary conventions. He was never
discharged, as Winfrey's deputy, TIL
about two years alterward, and then not
for this cause, but, it is charged, for the
purpose of carrying out a trade made
in the last campaign, by parties who arc
now most active in circulating those
scandalous rumors. Again. The char
yes are not made long enough before
the conventions for Mr.. Davis to sec the
people, and explain these matters, and
are not made to his face in the public
gatherings being held for the purpose OF
hearing candidates but while Mr.. Da-
Wis is attending these meetings, these
charges are being circulated in other
portions OF the county by strikers OF
other candidates. / am credltably in
formed that those making the charges
have had them in their possession for
three or four weeks. Why not, then,
have published them ere this Just be
geause thdy did pt want them answered.
| had resolved not to take an active part
in this campaign, and have told several
candidates so, and have rcfrained till
now; but | cannot sit still, and see good
honest man, as | know 3" Tom Davis to
be, slandered and beaten, by deceiving
the people and there are many others
who have gone to work, and many re-
solved to change their votes in the con-
vention for "Tom Davis. And | car
nestly urge every friend Of his to be up
and at work, for no one that knows
" Tom believes word of their tales,
or that there is u dishonest impulse in
his nature. RusTlc.

r1- We regret to learn of serious
accident to Col. J. N. Smithee, editor OF
the Arkansas Democrat. We find in the
Democrat, of the 10Th, the following ac'
count:
Col. j. N. Smithec, edltor-in chief OF this
paper, was the victim OF a very serious acci-
dent, last night. About 8 o'clock, In compa,,
ny with col. Johnson. Gen. Newton ana
Judge Fletcher. he went up into the edltor,al
rooms of the Gazette. After remaining IN
conversation an hour or more, he spoke OF
goingto the water-closet. and was asked, by
Col johnson If he knew the way. Replying
in the affirmative. he started down the hall
The gas was not lighted, and not being very
familiar with the locality of the closet open
ed the door to the steep flight of stairs lead
ing down to the rear of the press room. Step
ping forward, he plunged headlong down the
steps. distance OF sixteen or eighteen feet.
So soon as sufficiently recovered to make
himself heard, he attracted the attention OF
the gentlemen in the editorial room. Sever.
al of them thinking that the noise emanateu
from the street, rushed down the front stairs.
but Col. johnson. having an idea of what had
occurred, went directly to the back stairs and
found Col Smitliee in Il helpless condition.
His right shoulder Is badly bruised-brokcn,
it would seem, from the pain suffered. His
legs and hips are also badly bruised so much
so that he has no use of them. Drs. Easely
and Skipwili were called to his assistance,
who, after making an examination and dres.
sing his wounds, turned him over to the care
of Col johnson, who took him home.
At the time of going to press. Col. Smithee
was resting much easier. His wounds are not
dangerous. unless internal injuries have been
sustained. The occurrence is very unfortu-
nate. especially at a time like this, when his
duties ut the office are SO pressing.

sse~ We were present at the primary
election, Saturday, at Pleasant Hill. The
question of convention orno convention
seemed to be the one most discussed, and
on vote, the friends of convention
were successful by a vote of So for to 6
against. We wish to thank, in behalf of
Crawford, for the high compliment paid
Hon. Jesse Turner and we can assure
them that Franklin has no warmer
friend than Mr.. Turner. Prof. p. s.
Hooper was president of the convention,
and S. Quesenbury, Secretary. Mark
w. Wagner, Sen, and W. j. Remy were
the delegates elected to the county CON

vote standing. McKennon, 81, and By.

Ns-" Dave Fallon," of Little Rock,
if yon know who he is, has had the
" check" to write several leading Demo-
Gratis throughout the State, inviting them
to take place on the now grcenbaclz
State ticket, to be nominated at Little
Rock, last week. Hon. w. W. Mansfield
was one of the gentlemen approached.
The answer cheeky "Davel" received
from the Judge, satisfied him, we think,
that he was on the wrong lead for an en-
dorsement, in that direction. Hon. r. X.
Garland was another that was selected
to take place on the radical ticket, so
thinly covered with the grecnbacll I"
dodge. Dave Fallon-Fallon 4,

Arctic Voyage of Research

A New York dispatch of the 10th
says
The schooner Eolhcn sailed, to-day, for
the Arctic regions to search for relics of
Sir John Franklin. A distinguished par
ty accompanied the schooner as far as
Sandy Hook. Col. Glider, just before
sailing, stated that the voyage would
probably be prolonged two years or
more. The searching party expect to
make the voyage northward in about two
months, reaching Rcpulse Bay during
the latter part Of August. 1t is intend
ed to stop in that place until spring,
there being no snow on the ground du-
ring the winter. In the early part OF the
spring the party will cross the country
on sledges to King Williams Land. The
journey will occupy probably four or
five weeks. The searching party is

For some cause or other nothing was

Hughes begins to appear certain"
Gran. IS whisting through the
woods. Why, bluejcans Tom. Fletcher
gives Hughes half dozen votes, and
then beats him. There is no more show
for Hughes nomination, than there is
that he will be struck by lightning in a
clear, cold winters day. VIM. r. Mill,
er is the coming man. He already has
40 votes to Hughes, 81.
