A FRAUD.-One DR.. Fl. f. Hart,
for 4 or 5 years past citizen of Per.
ryvllle, Ark, located last Spring at
Rocky Mount, this parish, where he
behaved himself very badly. AL.
though he has two wives, both liv.
ing at last accounts-one at Pine
Bluff and the other at Perryville,
Arkansas-he gained the consent of
a young lady of Rocky Mount to
marry him; but his bad character
was discovered in time to save the
young lady from this sad fate, and
the scoundrel left the community
for parts acknowledging an un-
paid board bill. Hart claims to be
a kentuckian. He is 6 feet u inches
high; weighs 200 pounds; has a wild
look out of his eyes; broad should.
ers, and about 30 years old. He is
a bad character. Our brethren of
the press will please pass him
around.

Neither party has any leaders Of
broad views, simply because there
is no great issue between the parties.
The contest between them no longer
means anything. 1t is a scramble
for office, and that being the case,
each small Representative feels that
1t is his first duty to look out for
himself. If there were any vital

Great Britain are almost insupera.
ble. Land seldom comes into the
market, and when it does is COM
peted for in an eager way by the
wealthy who wish to add to their
holdings. The cost of an inquiry
into titles is. very heavy. The case
is mentioned of a farmer who in
December 1877, bought three acres
of glebe land. with a 1.-THE rent
charge of S75 year. The exami.
nation, establishment and transfer
OF title cost him $3.50. But land is
so tied up by entail and held in
large tracks by a few persons that
it is almost inaccessible. The law
OF primogeniture prevents sale, and
so does the power to make 900
year lease, thus tying. up estates
and keeping land out of the mar
ket. Great Britain has thus be
come emphatically the country of
the landless, for all the lands are
owned by less than 800, 900 persons.
In England and Wales 100000
acres, or one half the whole, are
owned 4 800 persons. In Scotland
40 persons own one half the soil.
One-halfof Ireland is owned by $50
persons, and two-thirds by less than
1000. No wonder the British far
mer is eager to come to this country,
where land is so easy to obtain and
so cheap.

The Express Almanac with refer
ence to these formidable figures says:
"In this government especially
has the public a reason to watch
the administration of the national
patronage with the greatest jealousy.
In the hands of INSCRIPTIONS and
cunning men, it is a lever which is
susceptible of being used so as to
largely subvert the main principle
in the foundation of our constitu-
tionaf forms-that which provides
that the free will of the people shall
be the law Of the nation. 1t is in
this sense that our large Govern
ment patronage is perpetual me-
nance toa perfect realization of re-
publican liberty. 1t is welded for
the purpose of keeping a party or
clique in power, then it is suscepti-
ble of almost making this Govern
ment government succession"
This is the case exactly. In 1876,
the Republicans declared from every
stump and in every platform that
their party alone had any right to
govern the country, and that when
any other party attempted to dis,
pute that right it was guilty of revo-
luton. 1t was disputed, however,
and disputed with power, boldness,
and success. Tilden and Hendricks
were elected, but the Democratic
party suffered itself to be intimi,
dated by force, fiaud and bribery,
while one of the leading agencies
employed by criminals in their
wholesale theft was this very same
government patronage lavishly used
to reward the scores of men who
had performed the infamous work.
Next year the Democrats will
have to fight against this same i'm
mense patronage, which is increas-
ing every day. Since Grant went
out of Office it bas increased $4,000,
uutil it is now one vast, mighty,
well-drilled and welldiciplined army
of TO-, 931 civil soldiers working dav
and night for the success of the Re
publican party. They are scattered
all over the country. Each employe
will, during the next campaign, be
a part Of the political machine. The
experience Of 1876 showed that
they hesitatsd ut no dishonorable
or criminal work. They forged,
they bribed, they purged themselves,
they lied, stole to put Rutherford
j. Hayes in the White House, and
the evidence is accommodating that
Mr.. Hsyes and his friend Zachariah
Chandler are arranging for next
years campaign on that same basis.
The Democrats must calculate,
therefore, upon the obstacles inter
posed by 104,931, Government en-
ployes, thousands of whom are
doing nothing but political dirty
work for the Republican party.
