Hon. DANIEL J. MoRRELL owes the Re-
publicans OF Miiiiin county debt of graft
tude. Nearly a year ago the Republican
convention in that county declared in favor
of Nr. Morrcll for Governor, and although
neither the Republicans of Cambria, Mr..
MUrrelrs own county, nor the Republicans
of any other county followed up the Mif1iin
movement, the delegate from that county
carried out the views Of his constituents by
nominating Mr.. Morrell iii the State cou-
veution aud voting for him, although in
doiag SO he stood solitary and alone. We
are aware that Mr. Morrell was not a can
didate for the Office, and euiy refer to the
matter as a strong illustration Of political
devotion 20 a man who was not seeking
nomination. Mr.. MorreH would be an in
fiuitcly stronger candidate than Hoyt, but
uuiike him, if We know anything about the
lHAu, he would never consent to occupy
the position as a reward for his scryiIity
to the crooked ways Of CamerOnism.

IT required all tine pvoyerbiai mpudence
Of John Cessna with the assistance Of Rus.
sci! Errctt to construct the rickety platform
of principles aud policy adopted 10y the late
Republican State convention. After the
Republican party has had exclusive posses
sion of both branches of Congress from
1861 TO 1876 ard has squaudeIed the great
eli aud most valuable portion of the public
dominion, it is an insult to tie people to
be told by Republican State convention
in resolution that the public lands belong
to the people, aid should be reserved for
actual settlefs. The resolution IN reference
TO the payment Of Southern claims by The
Democrats in Congress is utterly false, as
the official record shows. In the Forty
third Congress IS13-54), which was Re
publican. 100 Southern claims cases were
reported favorably by the committee on
war claims Of the House, amounting to over
s., eco, 900; while in ;he Forty fourth Con
gless llS15-76}, which was Democratic,
there were only - cases favoTdbly reported,
and Of tlis number but II passed the House,
the amount involved being $103, JOB
These, as well as other figures which could
be given, show that it is the Republican
aud not the Democratic party, as repre-
scnted in Congress, that favors the widest
latitude in the payment Of Southern war
claims. All the clamor Of the Republican
papers about the Democrats paying south
ern clain.s is absurd, and is only made to
deceive aud misIead the people. The de

EVANSVILLE, ARK, Oct IA, 1878.
Editor Van Buren, Press:
DEAR SIR | am sorry to iuform you,
and the many readers of your paper,
that our friend, J. r. Films store was
robbed, a few nights since, of quite a
quantity of goods; but, fortunately, the
robbers failed TO get any money. They
tried to enter the house by boring with
an augur but, failing in this, they for
ced the door open with a fence rail,
which must have made considerable
noise, but did not awake anyone but Mr..
J. NJ. Chandler. | presume he did not
know the cause of the noise, or he would
have raised an alarm. The parties are
becoming very bold, as you see. But we
cannot wonder that they are becoming
so, from the fact that, up to the time that
J. r. Films store was robbed, compare
lively nothing had been done to detect
the thieves, or even to prevent them
from doing further mischief Jack i'm
mediately offered a reward for the rob-
bers, and it is hoped. and helievad as ha
has many good men, both OF the Nation
and State on the lookout for them, that
they will soon be brought to justice.
Many think it would be a good idea TO
have Judge Lynch" preside in their
case, if they should be arrested They
claim that it would not only clear our
county of two or three thieves, but it
would be warning to those who are
never seen in the cornfeld, endeavoring
TO make an honest living and those,
too, who have no means of making u
support, but are skulking around, seek
ing an opportunity to do some honest
man an injury. However, if there be
good logic or not in this we ca mot say.
But we do think something should be
done to prevent those misanhropical
beings from making robbery practice.
And we must say that we believe J. r..
Films counsel wise one, and think it
highly probable that had those who have
been robbed here, SO many times before,
acted as he has, to day, our country, per-
haps, would be free from such n class Of
people. 1t is generally believed that
the thieves live in the Nation. 1t is also
believed that white men are at the head
of this nefarious scheme, and white men,
too, that the Indians, themselves, would
be proud that they were not in their
country. Tho friends of Uncle Hugh
Finn will be pleased to learn that the
cancer on his nose is thought to be en-
tirely cured The old fellow is as gent
al as a boy Of ten years, and his better
half is all life Perhaps | will write

The Sunday School Concert, under the
management OF Mr.. Charles +. Harvey, came
oil on Tuesday night according to previous
announcement. In II certain sense we were
disappointed. We expected a Concert by the
children of the Sunday School. or, at least,
that their singing was to be the leading fea-
ture, but our expectations in that respect
We're not realized. There was but little sing
ing by the children, and even that was over
powered by the older ones who sung In the
ehoruses. The recitations by the little ones,
were very good, and elected considerable APP
plause. The song by little JIM Mcllvaigh
was the best of the occasion. The negro SER
mon by John Collins was very well rendered
but we thought rather out Of place in Sum
day School Concert The feature of the eve.
ming, in the children's part of the programme,
was tn duett by Misses Ella and Eula Rudy.
Imagine two little children, whose little
souls have never known the faint of later
years, flooding the air with the music of their
innocent voices breathing out upon the at
mosphere the soprano and alto of a very
sweet duett, and you may be able to form an
'i'""NIoatN NoitNAPtipl' vi lllN sHISlb btduly
of this scene. The music by the older por-
ton of the singers was beyond our criticism
The first qaartette, To the Mountain sung
by Miss Pink Dibrell and Lucy Southmayd,
and Messrs Sonthmayd and Ribbling was
the best four-part song of the evening, and
was voeiferously encored, but WAS not repea-
ted because of the length of the programme
The Misses Nicodemus sang that beautiful
Duet, " Our Mountain Ilome," Misses Leila
Rudy and Hattie Nichodemus, sang that pa
thetcally- beautiful song, !" Come where the
Mists Are Creeping;' Misses Leila Rudy and
Mamie and Hattie Nicodemus-soprano and
first and second altos--was the sweetest mu-
steal gem of the evening. George Austin
read one of Mark Twain's comical compost
tions. The concert generally speaking, was
very good although the performances of the
children did not do Mr.. Harvey the credit Of
former entertainments by the school. And
apropos to the above, we hope that steps will
taken by those who have future entertain
ments in charge, to put stop to two nuisan-
ces; first the whistling by rowdy boys. aud
second the smoking of cigars in the hall.
We hope steps will be taken to prevent the
recurrence of these annoyances.
