SENATOR CoNKLING some time ago
made a confidant of one of his friends,
to whom he related some things not
calculated for the public ear. After
Il time this friend got mad at Conk-
ling, or somebody else, and "peached"
ON the belligerent Senator, which
makes it unpleasant for him.

IN the Third Congressional District
of Miunesota-in which st. Paul and
Minneapolis are located they are be-
ginning to discuss the candidacy of
the different aspirants for Congression-
al honors. DR.. j. NJ. Stewart, of st.
Paul, will be candidate for re-elec-
ton, his most prominent contestant
for the Republican nomination being
w. ID. Washburn. of Minneapolis.
Prominent representative Republicans
of st. Paul unanimously favor the re-
nomination of Doctor Stewart, while
those of Minneapolis are for Wash
burn. There is likely to be warm
contest in each of the three Districts
of our sister State for the Republican
Congressional nomination.

A NUMBER of Northern Democratic
papers are Disguised with the truck
ling of Northern Democratic Con-
gressmen to those of the South, evinc-
ed by their support of Field instead of
Shields for doorkeeper. The May
Vile Telephone, a Democratic paper,
refers to the matter in the following
pointed sentences ''We have moth
ing but contempt for such an act by
the democratic representatives in
Washington and we can assure them
that, whatever they may gain from
the late rebel element by thus truck
ling to them, will be more than bal
anced by what they will lose in the
north. The act is shame for the ma
ton, a disgrace to the democratic par
ty and an insult to every Union SOL
dier in the land

be removed. If majority of the voters who reside in the county, az provided in that law, wish the coun ty seat removed then it ought to be and will be moved; and we presume there is no man in the county who Is unwilling to have the people vote on the propos .tion, now that we have no court house fit to hold court in, as I am told tue damage caused by the storm is so great that the house Is not safe to use for any purpose.
 The center of population is the center of the county for court house purposes, and no one will say that the court house at Dover is at the center of population. Galla Rock, Wilson and Holly Bend townships alone have more voters than the whole of Pope county north of Do yer (especially since the last Legis- lature cut of 8 much of the north west part of the county) and the people in these townships have to travel from 20 to 30 miles to get to the present county seat. Again, Illinois township has more voters in it than any forr townships nor.h of Dover, and as the object of all government is to do the greatest good to the greatest number we think a vote ought to be taken on this question, and at as early day as can conveniently be had; and we say let it be had.
 We are aware that county seat questions are exciting ones, but any intelligent citizen must know that this question must come up sooner or later, and we think now is the time for it before large expendi- ture is made for repairing the old court house. Some candidates for office, who think they will be injur- ed by the agitation of tbls question, may find it little annoying to ad just their position on this question so as to suit the occasion. but we suggest to them that their qaalifica- tion for office and the question of the removal of the court house are two very different matters, and they need not get excited in the least We advise all of those worthy gen tlemen-we understand there will be a number of them-to keep cool and uuiet. as summer will soon be kere and they will need ali their energies in the contest with each other.
 Yours &c., GALLA Rock.

T. P. BYERS.

This gentleman card, announcing himself for reelection to the office of Prosecuting Attorney will be found in the proper column of to days pa- per. Mr. Byers has served in that capacity for two terms, and notwith- standing the fact that he was young and n.experienced, he has made a record of which he may well feel proud. That he may have commit ted blunders we presume he is aware, but we opine no one who has watched hls course, will doubt that he has energetieally and faithfully and conscientiouslv endeavored to serve the State to the best of his ability. No one will ever accuse him of slothfulness or remissness in always exhibiting disposition to be at his post of duty. Neither will any one contest the fact that MT. Byers has greatly improved and is now far better qualified for the posi- ton than he has been heretofore Experience in this position is worth great deal and Mr. Byers' expert ence for the past few years gives him many advantages for the third term. The office is not political one, and the objections which are of ten urged against third terms will not apply to Mir. Byers. The pride that this gentleman has always exhibited to come fully and squarely up to the conscienclous discharge of his duty is sure guarantee that if he should be elected again, the execution of the laws of the State within his Circuit will Dc we'll and ably looked after. MT. Byers will run strong race, and his opponent or opponents in the contest will have no time for nap. ping. =

 UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The contest for U. $. Senator from this State to succeed Mir. Dor sey is going to be very warm and interesting one. There are goodly number of candidates already men toned, with several more counties to hear from yet. The names thus far put forward are all men of abili- ty and worth, and any of them would do our State credit. The Van Buren Argus has the following resume of the Senatorial prospects up to date:
 "From some of our exchanges we learn that Col NJ. l.. Bell will not consent to become candidate~ for Governor, but will be candidate for U. s. Senator. We had hoped to see Col, Bell in the field for Governor, although he will be valuable to the State in the Senate. He Is man of great ability and energy. and has been firm friend to Arkansas as we'll as a consistent and sound Dem
 ocrat. The field is filling for the place of Senator. some one will be chosen and some several will be left at home. Who is to be the lucky man, is very difficult thing to tell at the present time. With Bell and Walker both in the field. each weak. ems the chances of the other. Ex- Gov. Baxter will have much strength Tn his own section, but we do not be- lieve he will have much elsewhere. Johnson will have strength all over the State, and will make strong fight, In our opinion his. strength
 will not be sufficient to elect him, but the man who defeats Bob John- son xill succeed s. ". Dorsey. Gen. Newton will have a large following in southwestern and southern Ark
 ansas and at Little Rock. and. if not again slaughtered in the house of his friends" will be a formidable op- ponent. Walker is very strong in northwest Arkansas, and will not be touched by any opponent up here. Bell will have his strength in his own and adjacent counties. Now, here is the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast occupied, with the center for battle ground. Much depends upon a mere trifle. Any false step on the part of either of the gentlemen named, will seal his doom. Another factor is to be taken into the calculation of chances. Hon. c. D. Royston is favorably men toned, and many others will doubt less be present Ut the onset. These are to be disposed of, and some one of them may prove the ''dark horse. The struggle will be hard one, and the future cannot be foreseen. All the gentlemen mentioned would make us good officers, but we believe Hon. J. D. Walker would be our best.

That Terrible Scourge,

Fever and ague, and it's eongener, bil- ious remittent, besides affections of the stomach, liver and bowels. produced
 by miasmatic air and water, are both eradicated and prevented by the use Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitlers, purely vegetable elixir, indorsed by physi- cians, and more extensively used as q remedy for the above class of disorders as we'll as for many others, than any medicine of the age. A languid circu- lation, torpid state Of the liver, q want of vital stamina, are conditions peculiarly favorable to the malarial
 diseases. They are. however, surely remedied by the great Preventive, which. by invigorating the system and ent,owing it with regularity as we'll as vigor, provides it with a resistant power which enables it to withstand disorders not only of a malarial type, but d host of others to which feeble and ill regulated systems are subjects. The Bitters are safe as well as searching eradicant, and have widely superseded that dangerous drug. quinine, which pailiates but does not eradicate malaria.

HON. JOHN K. EAKIN.

Our feelings of State pride induc- es us to reproduce from the Mem. phis Appeal the following high en- conium upon one of our gifted fellow citizens, the Hon. Jno. R. Eakin:
 "Without intending to depreciate the claims of any gentleman of the profession who may be an aspirant for seat on the supreme bench of our sister State--Arkansas can not withold an expression of our pleasure at seeing the name of Hon. John R. Eakin, of Little Rock, pres ent chancellor of the special court of equity for the county of Pulaski, presented as that of suitable can. didate' for that position. There IS no higher evidence of the assured sta bility of our government, and our re- turn to the status of the old and bet ter days of the republic, than the dis- position evinced in every quarter to put the very best men in our judicial positions. Judge Eakin is thor oughly educated and cultivated gen tleman, of admirable self poise, and incorruptible integrity. He has been a student and practitioner of law for thirty five years, and while we would ditiidently approach the WOOL SACK, graced and honored by so many dis tinguished jurists in oul sister State, we do not hesitate to say that he would be the peer ofthe chief among them. The pride in Judge Eakin, which his sterling manhood and large attainments as a scholar and jurist have inspired, is not little heightened. se admit, bv the consid eration that he is Tennesean. He IS decended, we believe, from wor. thy old Irish family, which at an ear
 y day settled in the middle division Of the State, and by industry and economy acquired wealth and inhu' ence. Tennessee and Arkansas are indissoluhly united hy the bonds of a contiguous territory, a homogenie- ty of soil and production, and the close relationship of her population and the elevation of as worthy son as Tennessee has ever sent from heI borders to one of the highest posi-. tions in the government of Arkansas will unite us in still closer bonds, "So mote it be.

MAJ. WM..E. WOODRUFF, JR,

This well known gentleman's $ card announcing hls candidacy for the office of State Treastrer will be found in to-day's paper. He needs no introduction to the people from us. There is perhaps no man in the State who has always remained in the quiet walks of private life attending to his own business, so we'll known to the people generally as Maj. Woodruff: and there is cer- tainly none who has labored so in cessantIy and arduously for the wei fare of the State and people. If any mans long devotion to his corntry's good gives him claim to prefer ment for office, Major Woodruff will certainly come in this list, for while he las never, we believe, held an office, his services and labors have at the same time been of such a public nature, and have tended so largely to initiate to the public good, that he may justly be called one of our most faithful and hardworking pub lie servants

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

The candidacy of Judge Mansfield for seat on the Supreme Bench will necessitate the election of new man as Circuit Judge ofthis District. Among other names which we have heard mentioned Is that of our dis tinguisLed fellow .townsman, Hon. Lewis ". Davis. Judge Davis is known to almost every man, woman and child in Pope county, and to our home people no words of commenda- tion which we might give him would add to the esteem in which he is Ieid. As a man no one will ever bring into question his integrity of purpose and character. As lawyer he has gain
 ed a place in the front rank of the bar at all the courts in the District. With clear, active mind and wig orous physical organization, Judge Davis is we'll fitted for the arduous duties of the bench. We presume Judge Davis will at the proper time let the people know definitely, If he will serve them in this capacity.

HON. A. s. M'KENNON.

This gentleman's announcement as candidate for Prosecuting Attor- ney will be found in to-day's paper. Mir. McKennon is personally known to many of our citizens and by repu- tation all are acquainted with him. In the last Legislature he made q creditable record; and his dignified bearing, his eloquent oratory and his firm, logical views which he al ways defended so vigorously and conscientiously gave him prestage among his fellow members of the House rarely attained by so young a member. In the convention four years ago MT. McKennon was can didatel for the same office for which he now announces himself, and if we remember cor rectly hs went into the convention with instructions from four and a half counties out of seven. By some turn. however, he failed to get the vote instructed for him, but never the-less he submitted with grace which told that he cared more for unity and harmony of the party than he did for his own advancement.
 Without disparagement to the mer- its or prospects of any other gentle men who may intend to contest fer the office, we are free to say that Mir. McKennon is erhinently qualified for the position he seeks, and If he is elected, the verdict must be "Good for the State"

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: l notice in the Russellville DEMOCRAT, of the l4th Feb'y, that voter had sent you previously communication suggesting the name of one of Pope county's best citizens for Probate Judge, hut you refuse to publish the same on account (you say ) the voter not giving his name; as have been a reader of the DEMOCRAT for some time, I think l have right to ask you a question or two, as you refuse to publish that communication sug- gesting Frank BayIiss as candi- date for Go. and Probate Judge Why did some editor some time ago, publish communications suggesting Ben. T. Embry for Governor, and some editor for Representative in the next Legislature? If that commu- nication suggesting Frank Bayliss Is not published I will be compelled to think you are unjust-have pets. The shoe did surely pinch some where, on account of said Bayliss not being your favorite, or the writer not living in the fayorite part of your county. The DEMOCRAT has been my favorite paper, but if you have pets-guess at the balance.

 In replying to the above we will state at the outset that there IS no principle of right or justice, nor any rule of courtesy or privilege, known to newspaper men, which gives a man the right to demand the puoli- cation of communications without imparting the writer's name. We do not mean to say that the writer's real name must be signed to the communication, but we say that if a man wishes his correspondence pub lished he should at least let the pub fisher of the paper know who he is. He can then sign any nom de plume to his communication he pleases. This is the rule with ali newspapers. The writer of the above communica.

No other medicine in the world was ever given such test of it's. curative qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two millions four hum dred thousand small bottles of this medi, inc were distributed free oi charge by Druggists in the country to those afflicted with Consunption Asthma, Group, severe Coughs, PnetI- monia and other diseasef Of the throat and lungs, giving the American people undeniablc proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and sil- lage in the United States are recom- mending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about 1t.

 A MARDI-GRAS TICKET.

People of all classes and from all parts of the state gathered in our city to witness aud enjoy our late Mardi Gras festivities, and among them were not few politicians oi the wire pulling, s.ate making spe- cies, and of ring proclivitles. They met in secret conclave, and the fol, lowing is the ticket agreed upon for the coming fall canvass:
 For U. ;. Senator-R. W. John son.
 For Governor-W R. Miller.
 For Secretary, of State-Jacob Frolich.
 For Treasurer-T. J. Churchill.
 For Auditor-John Crawford.
 For Commissioner State Lands J. N. Smithee.
 For Judge or Supreme Court-W. W. Mansfield.
 This slate, it will be seen. exhibits very little respect for the great northwest, and, except in a single unimportant point, is, where possi- ble, third term SC .eme throughout Beavers is thrown overheard for Frolich; but he is too lacking in avoirdupois to satisfy the whale Of popular discontent which incompe- tents and third-termers are sure to arouse. What will Sam ". Will jams. say about the selection oi Judge Mansfield? and what will ten scores of candidates for every posi-. ton to be filled think of those now in power perpetnating themselves ill ofiice?-L. K. Star.
 "A friend at our elbow suggests that if the name of J. D. Walker, oi Washington county be substituted for that of E W. Johnson, and the name of Marcns L. Bell, of Pine Bluff, be substituted for that of Wm k. Miller in the above ticket 1t vii then pass muster pretty successfully
