GONE FROM Our GAzE.-His Excellency
Lieut. Governor Adams appeared for the last
time On Carson, as bachelor, on New Years
day. He made some calls and deported HIM
self in his usual exemplary manner. In the
evening he departed for the plains of Texas,
not to look after his focks and herds alone,
nor to follow the festive horned bands across
the deserts or to convenient and profitable
markets. He is on more lamb like course
intent, and he looked little sheepish over it.
1t is rumored, and he does not deny it, that
he will bring to the Capital a bride. The
lady is not unknown here and we believe is
highly appreciated She was on visit to the
city last winter, We trust the Governors
mission may be crowned with success, his
trip be pleasant one, and his welcome home
as hearty as he could wish. We have the
greatest respect for man who goes and does
it, even if he has to go Texas
ACCIDENT Bob Teeple, conductor of the
freight from Hutfaker's met with an accident
last evening. Hewas on the rear Of the train
when the brake bar broke (between here and
Lake View and he fell off, causing an injury
to his hip. The train came on and his alb
sence was not discovered until it arrived in
Carson. The Columbus was Immediately sent
back for him and he was brought into town.
The injuries are not of serious nature and
he is doing well,
AFINE TURN OUT-The most elegant turn
out that could be seen on our streets on New
Years day was Mr., E. Edgecomb's open car
riage drawn by four magnificent specimens of
horsefesh, and driven by the owner. 1t
would be difficult to find a more stylish rig
than Mr. Edgecomb's, even in larger cities
The carriage was occupied by Mr.. John T,

Miller in Crawford.

Gov. Millor's opponents, Hughes and
Fletcher, were with us from Tuesday to
Friday morning, and wrestled faithfully
with the horny-handed' Of the county,
but with little effect. Gov Miller car
ries every township in the county but
two and is the second choice here.
When we take into consideration the
fact that Crawford has been the field OF
labor, ever since the canvass opened, OF
all the leaders of the opposition to the
A. & r. plan, together with the Grange,
the object being to beat Miller, we are
truly proud of Thursdays work, and the
position old Crawford has taken in this
canvass. The Argus had asserted all
along that Hughes would carry the
county-probably basing all its expecta-
tions upon the extraordinary q influence
which it exertcd upon the masses" like
Il fight" While our friend Fishback,
of Sebastian, after laboring with us, pre-
dieted that Miller would not carry one
township in the county. The wisest of
men are sometimes mistaken.

Democratic Convention,
Rooms DEMOCRATIC STATE Cen. Con- J
LITTLE Rock, March 20, 1878. I

At meeting of this committee held pu :
uant to adjournment, In the city of Little
Rock, March 20, 1878, In was resolved by the
committee that q Convention of the Demo-
cratic party Of the State of Arkansas be called
TO assemble at the City of Little Rock, on
Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1878, for the
purpose Of nominating candidates for the
State offices to be voted for at the general
election to be held on Monday; the I'd day
Of September. in said year. and for the trans
action OF such other business as may be deem
ed advisable.
1t was resolved by the committee that the
basis Of representation in said Convention
and until said Convention may otherwise Or
der, shall be one vote for each 400 votes, and
one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, AS
cast for William X. Miller, candidate for Gov
ernor at the last election. held on the 4th
September, 1876
And inasmuch as 1t has been the practice
heretofore TO send from the counties adjacent
to the place of holding the Convention large
number of delegates. who. by the moral
weight Of their numbers In excess of the votes
to which they are entitled, give advantage
over the distant counties In the choice of can
didates, and thereby produce confusion In the
Convention and want of harmony in the par
ty, it was resolved by the committee that the
number of delegates allowed to the several
counties should be limited to the number of
votes which they are entitled to cast In the
Convention in compliance with which action
of the committee | hereby announce that the
Democratic State Convention. at the time
named By said committee, to wit, the 4th day
of July next, will meet at the city of Little
Rock.

Thank you, thank you kindly, Colonel
for thus bringing our poor name to pub
lie notice; your goodness shall ne'cr be
forgot. But why give way true, your
people did not understand you clearl y en-
ough to place the circuit jud geship in your
itching palm. Nor did they understand
you when you sought seat in the Leg
islature. Really they have failed to un-
derstand you from general standpoint,

No State Convention of the Republic
can Party to be Held.

From the Little Rock Democrat OF
Wednesday we learn that meeting OF
the Republican state central committee
was heidi in that city, yesterday, at which
an animated discussion upon the qucs
ton of calling a state convention was
had. Numerous letters were read from
prominent members Of the party rosid-
ing in different counties, nearly all of
which were opposed to the calling Of a
convention, or the nominating ofa State
ticket; whereupon the committee unani-
mously resolved that they would call no
convention of the party, this year, and
would put no candidates in the field for
state officers. We understand they filled
the vacancy on the committee occasioned
by the death Of Hon. Joseph Brooks by
the election OF T. M. Gibson, of Yell
county, and adjourned without further
business.

MIR. stephens Writes a Letter.

Hon Alexander A. Stephens has writ
ten letter to the chairman of the Dem
oclatic executive committee of the eight h
congressional district of Georgia, in the
which he says he shall neither seek nor
decline n nomination at the hands Of
tho convention, soon to meet, but if, he
says, "the convention shall repudiate
him as an unfit representative of Demo
cratic principles, and shall attempt to
rule me ont of the Democratic party, be-
cause of anything connected with my
recent public acts or sentiments, then |
say to you and to them plainly and dis
tinctly, that l shall regard their edict as
but a brutum fulmen issued by an irrcs-
ponsble faction of trickstcrs, and the
question whether | or they are sound in
the faith of the fathers, shall be left to
the true Democracy of the district to be
settled at the polls. If this shall pro-
duce any division or dissension in the
party, the responsibility for the conso-
quences must rest upon those who have
so assailed and so grossly misreprcsent-
ed me-"

Support the Nominees.

The success of any prospective plan
no matter whatsoever the nature, must
depend almost entirely upon the unity
and harmony of action of those who are
interested in its prosecution. We, like
every one else, have our favorites for
Office, but their failure shall not make
us less earnest in our support of any
one that may be nominated by the con-
ton.
We have a skillfnl, watchful, and adroit
enemy who would onl y be too much graf
titled at tho disntegration of the party.
By such an occurrence a gap would be
made, through which the radical hosts
might be led to victory. The purpose OF
a convention is to nominate the officers,
in order to the concentration of the vote
power, thereby untizing and harmonic
ing eombative elements. Now. if af-
ter the programme adopted by such CON
vention, men, who are members of the
party Of which such convention is the
representative, refuse to be governed by
the action of that body, whore is the
sense of their congrcgating Let every
one lay aside his prcjudices, abandon his
candidates, and determine to support
those who are selected by body of men
delegated for that purpose. Such con-
certed support of nominees must be alb
solutcly general. There must be posi-
tive and perfect harmony among the op-
posing interests of the party.
Personal preferences must be abandon
ed in the presence of predominant wish
es for the success Of the party. We hope
every good democrat will support the
nominee.
Since the above was written the coun-
ty convention has been held and the
early issuance prevented our giving the
result. We give them in an extra.

The testimony of Mrs. jerks before

liberately pcrjured herself in order tc

of Sherman guarantee to Anderson and
Weber, was manufactured by her, and
that Sherman had nothing to do with it

Hoar and Matthews.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, who
is n member of the Mathews invcstiga-
ting committee, is reported to be the au-
thor of very happy bon mot at the ex-
pense of Stanley Matthews. 1t was at
the meeting of the committee, yesterday
afternoon, and the committee was discus
sing the propriety Of holding a meeting
on Sunday, for special purpose, and
somebody made the point of order that
it was contrary to biblical teachings
Hoar said he thought not, and claimed to
be backed by scriptural authority, as the
Bible agreed that it was right to pull an
ass out of apt on the Sabbath. This is
the way men in all classes refer to poor
Matthews for writing those self-convic-
ting, stupid, tell tale letters.
