On Saturday last Mr. Granville Ar

ed by David Jennings. The shooting
took place in the store of Hr. Hamil-
ton, where Arnold had gone after an
alteration between the parties in the
saloon of Horton. Jennings was ac-
companied by George Anderson, who
became somewhat implicated in the
affray on the side of Jennings at the
time of the shooting. The particulars
of the affair we do not pretend to
state. There were two shots fred by
Jennings, the first one taking effect
in the right side of Arnold, in the
region of the liver Arnold snapped
at Jennings about the time the first
shot was fred Jennings fred the
second shot without effect and then
hurridly left the house, and has not
been seen or heard Of by any of the
conservators of the peace. Anderson
as an accOmplice or alder and abettor,
was tried Monday and Tuesday last
before Esquires Flowers and Gregory,
and was convicted of an assault and
battery, and held to bail on a bond Of
$3.50, to appear at the January term Of
our Circuit Court. The State and the
defense were ably defended by Mr.,
Oldham and Colonel Porter re-
spctively.

Wax is put to queer use in Vienna.
The bellies Of that capital wear throats

actress, while playing in this city, beat
the Viennese bellies. She had been
blistered for a cold, and got an artist
to paint her a bosom, which she actually
wore, while personating "Juliet, over
the fair breast rudely assailed by Span

to her swelling and beautiful bosom
with all the enthusiasm of true artists,
while the Puritanic writer's denounced
her low-neck display as a shocking in

wonders, but paint is more wondrous.

We hope the day Of crimination be-
tween the North and South is over,
and that no effort of narrow-minded
bieots or selfish politicians will ever
revive feeling of sectional hatred or
prejudice. The generous contributions
of the North have disarmed US even
if we had cherished one lingering
thought Of resentment. Expressions
of sympathy have come from. almost
every pulpit and press in the land, and
we take this as an evidence that there
is a strong brotherly feeling all over
the country. The lavish generosity Of
the North has been offset by the heroic
endurance and equanimity Of the
Southern people in the midst of pesti-
lence and death. The world will see
that the American people not only
possess the highest qualities of courage
to meet danger of any kind, but that
we arc a humane and highly civilized
people, fully equal to any emergency.
There are few papers in the North,
animated by strange and unnatural
bitterness, which still appeal to the
passions of their readers and presume
upon the credulity and worse side Of
human nature. These are exceptional
cases, and we hope the Southern press
will not violate the sanctities Of this
sad period and the decencies of life by
taking any notice of such utterances.
We have suffered and grown strong
and can afford to be silent when ira
duced. The period for strife
has passed away, and broad
er intelligence, better understanding
Of our neighbor and of the rights of
man, and a more cultivated spirit will
attend our future progress and ma

this will be observable in church and
state that ministers will preach the
gospel of love from the great text
Love thy neighbor as thyself;' and
that journalists, politicians and states

LITTLE Rock Gazette, 9TH: 1t is
with great pleasure that we note the
cheering indications of reviving trade,
commerce and general prosperity in
our sister city of Memphis. She is
rapidly emerging from one of the most
terrible scourges that ever afflicted
any community, and the pluck and en-
ergy with which the survivors of the
plague are getting down to the hard
work of restoring their fortunes, shows
that there is not only "life in the old
land yet" but that there is a bright
and hopeful future of perhaps in
creased business and prosperity be-

For once we have had in this county
and congressional district quiet, non
partisan election. Democrats voted
for Nationals and Republicans, and
Republicans voted for Greenbackers
and Democrats, No strictly political
issues were introduced. There was
no party machinery used, no leaders
rallying political hosts. 1t was no
time for party strife, and, to the credit
of all parties be it said, there was no
extraordinary effort made to take ad-
