 Prescott, and while there became in toxicated. Mounting his horse, he started home. By some means his horse escaped from him and he be- came lost in the Carouse bottom. Wandering about, he got into water, and the next day was found by his neighbors in dying condition-be ing frozen. He lived only few hours.
 Tue Russellvile DEMOCRAT has so maliciously vilified us in the pres. ent Senatorial discussion, and in at tempting to make it's attacks on us teDable, has resorted to so many falsehoods that

 Come now, Harry! Go slow and keep cool; we have been very mild and gentle with you-just as easy as we possibly could be under the circumstances: for when we hear a fellow say he never saw an alley be fore in hls life and see him make a "teD strike" with his first ball we are very apt to susplcion-just very faintly suspicion, you know, that Ines another"
 The light of the political candles of the different aspirants for U. 5. Senate, are gradually beng extin- guished by Johnson, whose chances grow brighter, yet brighter, day by day.
 That IS what the Morrillton Dol lar, paper owned by man who very recently, and under not alto. gether unsuspicious circumstances, Topped over from strong anti John son shrieker to red hot Johnson admirer and bull-dozer, says. Now let us hear a disinterested party speak. The Saint Louis Republican is well posted paper and it gives its opinion on this question as fol- lows:
 .'Hon. J. D. Walker is generally thought to possess more elements of popularity and availability than any of his competitors.
 Alma Herald. "On yesterday the high Sheriff of this county, W. l.. Taylor, came to this place and took on an over dose of tanglefoot, and showed himself in his true colors. He said that if there was any law for it, that he would Kill every damned rebel in the county. He also said that he was republican as black as negro. How does this sound con- ing from county official? During his rampage he cut the ropes of a tent that was erected near the street and left it to the mercies of the wind. If such acts are to be tolerated from those who should preserve the peace, what shall be the fate of our county? :?
 That reminds us very forcibly of the times when we used to have re- publican sheriffs in our county. But now that the voters of Pope elect democrats, we have no such scenes. Crawford County deserves some scourging until the democrats there, who are largely in the majority, learn sense enough to lay aside local differences and work harmoniously together and elect good men of their own party.
 It is a noted fact, as the Morrill, ton Dollar justly remarks, that the papers that support Col. Johnson's candidacy for the senate never decry or try to defame the personal char acter of any of the other candidates, as many of the papers opposing him have done towards him.-Gazette.
 Let us just refresh the Gazette's memory little. Only a few weeks ago there appeared in the Arkansas Traveller, one of the most rampant Johnson papers in the State, and a paper occupying high position in the Gazette's esteem, one of the most abusive and scurrilous articles, com- posed entirely of personal defama- nation dir .cted at Hon. M. l.. Bell, that we have seen during the whole campaign. We deny that the papers opposing Col. J. have made any attempts to detame his personal character; on the contrary they have all expressed the highest regard for him as man and gentleman. We believe all the papers which oppose Col. J. honestly wish him all man ner of success and prosperity in everything excepting alone his aspi rations to represent Arkansas in the next U. S. Senate. The Gazettes s attacks upon Hon. J. D. Walker have been just about as personal as anything the anti Johnson papers L 4 ,t tn
