 SHEEP HUSBANDRY.

It does seem to us, judging from the fine appearance of the few sheep we see here, that this branch of bus mess would certainly pay in our county. Sheep that we see here which have passed through the win ter without shelter, without scarcely any feeding, and without attention, look clean, healthy and in good con dition---rnuch more so, In fact, than sheep we have seen in the northern States, that had been fed and shel- tered and attended with care through five long months of winter. If it pays the sheep raiser there, we do not see why it would not be much more profitable here, where our win ters are so short and so mild that stock winters itself almost without feeding or sheltering.
 There is no doubt if the business were tried here by some one who knows how to manage sheep, and who would give it fair trial, that it would prove profitable branch of industry.

THE GAZETTE AND THE coo
 DY RESOLUTION.

It IS to be regretted to see the Ga zctte, the leading and oldest demo- cratic paper in the State, making so many wry faces over the action taken by the legislature in the matter of the alleged bribery investigation. The course of the paper in this mat ter is we'll calculated to do not only itself an injury, but also to injure the democratic party of the State.
 The strained efforts of the Gazette to make it appear that the House entertained doubts as to the falsity of Lees testimony, and that it there fore avoided any allusion to that portion of the investigation, is un- worthy of the paper, and is foul injustice to our Senator elect. We doubt very much if there was a sin gle member of the legislature who put any credence in Lees testimony, and we take it that the House deem ed his statement too thin to require any notice at their hands.
 ..There are very few unbiased, or dis interested persons, who will come to any other conclusion after reading all the testimony, than that expressed

COMING BACK.

Many of the incopslderate if not foolish people (farmers) who moved away from North Carolina to Texas and Arkansas are now coming back, though pretty we'll broken down pc cuniarily and physically. The At lanta Constitution Of the 1st of March has this paragraph:
 "The down passenger train on the Western & Atlantic Railroad that reached this city at a late hour Thursday night, had on board a party of immigrants who were re- turning from Arkansas to homes that they had lett in North Carolina about two years since. The emi- grants said they were going home to stay, as they had found Arkansas was not the State that they were looking for"
 We clip the above from the Char lotte Democrat of the 7th of March. We would simply like to ask the Constitution one question: What part of Arkansas (what county had all these people tried?
 Our county (Pope) has a large number of North Carolinians and more are coming out every year. If there is any dissatisfaction or dis appointment amongst them we have not heard of it. Neither have we heard of any of them returning to the Old North State.

in the Coody resolution. There is not room for shadow of a doubt so far as Furbush is concerned. The evidence to sustain Mir. Holifield's assertion is not so strong, and gives some appearance of him having sought bids for his vote.
 We believe the sentiment of the Coody resolution wifi stand as the judgment of large majority of the people of Arkansas.

ADangerousStool.

A few days ago, colored man we'll known about this city, and who is known as James Sumby, went to the county jail, with plain homemade camp stool, stating to Barrow the jailor, that the stool was a present to Chas. Rainey, prisoner confined for felony. The stool according to Sumby's statement, had been sens by Ralney's friends. Barrow took the stool, but before passing it into the'prisoner, began carelessly to ins- pect 1t, wondering that such piece of furniture should be desired by the prisoner. It was soon evident that something was wrong about it, and in 8 very few moments Barrow dis covered that the legs .ol the stool were filled with files, saws, cold chis- els, etc., and it was a mere accident that he discovered the we'll laid plan to release twenty-five prisoners, which would certainly have been done, but for his keen eyes. James Sumby was arrested this morning, and endeavored to imphcste . Mir. Toole as an accompiice in tho affair. The matter was tried by jur- " before Esquire Bornett, when Mir. Toolel was dismissed, but Sumby was fined $200, and imprisonment for twelve months. This matter should be more fully investigated, as others more shrewd than Sumbyr who has been regarded heretofore as good quiet inoffensive man, hsass be implicated.
 Barrow deserves great credit for good judgment in this case.-Helsns World.

Mrs. Jane Fowler, better known as Granny Fowler, who died at the residence of her soninlaw, Josephus Adams, one mile east of Greensboro, on the 14th inst. was probably the oldest person in the county If not in thes State. Her age is not. definitely known, but from her recollection of events, she was between 10S and 115 years old, She was eleven years old when the revolutionary war closed. She came from Georgia to this county twenty years ago, then wid- dow, has lived with her children ever since. She always enjoyed the best of health and died from old age. For the last five or six years she has been almost entirely blind.-Jones- ooro Times.
 The negroes who recently left Mississippi and other southern States for Kansas have settled in St. Louis and threaten that dirty place with results frightful to contemplate. They are as filthy in their persons, as indifferent to what becomes of them, have no means and don't want to work, but are ready for all the food, clothing or money that can be given them.-Memphis Appeal.
 New Haven Register The test oath the republicans will give up; the ar my, at the polls, they can forego; they even can part with thelr federal supervisors of elections, but when it comes to giving up the power to appoint 10000 marshals drawing pay at the rate of $75 day to elect tioneer for the republicans at the polls, and to bulldoze and intimidate northern democratic voters, the idea is ACKNOWLEDGMENT" Let us have a revolution.
 Col. J. H.

------------------------ OUR NEW SENATOR.

Arkansas undoubtedly has now the strongest representation in the United States Senate that she has had in long term of years. Gar land and Walker make up strong team.
 The Washington Post has this to say of our new Senator:
 Among the new democratic sena- tors who may be counted upon for valuable service to his country and his party is Hon. J. D. Walker, of Arkansas, who succeeds Mir. Dorsey. His competitors before tue legisla- ture were a number of the most brill iant men of the state, and, though Mir. Walker had. never held a political position, he was chosen by fiater- ing majority. Senator Walker is a native of Logan county, Ky, but io- cated in Arkansas oyer thirty years ago, when mere youth. He studied law, and for some years past has oc- cupied the highes position at the bar of his state. He was once Circuit judge, and for a brief time held the position of solictor-general of the state. Has always been active in pol tiles, but never sought position for himself until he became candidate for. United States senator. During the dark days, when Arkansas under the Clayton regime, Mir. Walker along with Senator Garland, devoted himself and his legal abilities to eff forts for their relief He has very pleasant address, and is a ready and vigorous debator.

 "A correspondent of Colmar's Rural World, (St Louis,) writing from Hot Springs under date of Mar. 18th, says:
 learn that immigrants are fast coming in to this State, and taking up homesteads from the govern ment and buying of the railroad companies. Little Rock and Fort Smith R. R. lands along the line of this road, which runs along the Ar kansas rlver, are selling from $6 to $10 per acre. I consider one acre of Saline or adjoining counties, worth five of any have seen in the State.
 This correspondent makes a wide mistake about prices of the lands of the Ft. Smith Road. The company offers thousands upon thousands of acres of fine uplands, at from $2.50 to $500 per acre, and gives six years time for payments. The lands on this road are almost universally ad- mitted to be the best in the. State. In fact the Fit. Smith road traverses the very best portion of Arkansas.
 NEWSPAPER LrBEL,-The Saint Louis Commercial Gazettee of Mar. 20th, has in it's column of late decis- sons, the following:
 A fair and true report, without malice of judicial proceedings is al ways permissable.-Byer vs. Martin, Sup. Ct, Col. t
 A libel may be conveyed in the heading of an article as effectually as in the body thereof.--Edsall vs. Brooks, Albany Law Journal.
 The courts will always infer that editors mean what their language commonly implies. If the words employed imppte misconduct in their popular use, that signification will be attached to them, although in another sense they are susceptible of an innocent ,construction.-More vs. Bennett, Sup. Ct, New York.
 An editor can not relieve himself from responsibility for hls publica- tions by the, fact that they are copied from another newspaper, and prefa- ced by statement to that effect, even when the publication was made by person in his employ without his personal agency or knowledge Stanford ys. Bennett, Sup. Ct, New York.
 THE WORK OF THE EXTRA SEs sIoN.-The committees of the House and Senate democratic caucus have determined that the political legisla- tion desired by the dominant party Tn Congress shall be effected by in- cooperating the repeating clauses in the appropriation bills. This is deemed more expedient than to at tempt to accomplish it by separate measures because it is likely to save time, there being general desire to to finish the business of the extra session as soon as possible. It has also been determined that there shall be such a modification of the pollt- Ical portion of the appropriation bills as to not forbid in the repeating clauses in regard to the federal elec- tion laws, the appointment of two supervisors of different political par ties, to serve in a mere testimonial capacity at each poll, as witnesses to the count of the vote. The repeal of the jurors test oath will be total and complete, and the feature of chief supervisors and deputy mar shals for elections, with police pow CTS, will be entirely removed. It is likely the business of the extra ses- sion will be confined strictly to these measures. aE #}.fll
