Death of Mrs. W. W. Moore.

The Fayetteville Democrat brings the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Isabella Moore, wife of W. W. Moore, and mother of E. B. and w. B. Moore, editors of the Democrat. She died at Eureka Springs, on Wed nesday, May 5th, in the 65th year of her age. We knew Mrs. Moore well and would bear our tribute to the memory of true woman. In all the sterling virtues which adorn her sex, she was a conspicuous example. Noble, generous, self sacraficing, a devoted wife, loving mother, kind neighbor, and true christian, she was beloved of all who knew her. In this the saddest affiiction of their lives we extend to the bereaved our warmest sptnpathies.-L. R. Demo- crat.
 We, too, knew the most sstimable lady we'll in our boyhood days, and we add our coincidence to that of the Little Rock Democrat editor, and tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved household.

Arkansas Cotton.

The best short staple cotton raised in this country comes from Arkan- sas. We have seen staples of this cotton which measured two and three elghts inches in length. This is within an eigth of an inch of the length of the sea island cotton of Georgia and South Carolina. The short-ibre cotton, from Mississippi, occasionally measures from 3-4 to l 7e inches.
 Much of this Arkansas cotton is Is marketed in St. Louis, being brought North by the St. Louls, Iron Mountain d Southern Railway. This is one of the reasons why St. Louis is becoming a fayorite market with New England spinners who desire high grade of cotton. The population of the fertile Arkansas Valley has increased more rapidly this spring than any other part of the Southwest. A large part of this vally is tributary to the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railrosd, which hands over the cotton to the Iron Noun tain and to the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad. The cost of produc- tion of cotton, in Arkansas, is esti- mated at from 60 to 75 per cent. of the cost in the Carclinas.-New York Cotton Journal.

course 1t is too late to do any thing now, but lot us sprepare for war in time of peace" We know there is complaint that delegates some times sell out. Now let us figure some on this matter. Let us suppose one.third would sell, which we do not believe, then there would be two thirds good honest men left, and a majority of this two. thirds of hon est men, must of necessity be for the man who Is made the nominee. On this plan we would have a man that had received oyer third of the honest votes. Now If the county votes 1000 this would require at least representation of TOO votes, while the primary nominee may not, and perhaps will not, get half of this number. NV. KUHN.

Should Arkansas Repudiate
 Her Debt?

There is now before the people of Arkansas a constitutional amend ment forever prohibiting the gener al assembly from levylng any tax for the payment of either the princi- pal or interest of what arc known as the railroad aid bonds, levee or Hol- ford bonds, certain evidences of in debtedness outstanding against the State. We print elsewhere a strong letter from Senator Garland, counsel ling the people of his state to vote down this amendment, and we trust they will follow his advice. Ifthese bonds are legal he tells them the con- stitution of the United States for bids their repudiation, and the pro posed amendment would De null and void if it were adopted. But if they arc not legal they cannot be enforced and no amendment ls needed to pro- tect the State. Senator Garland adds that if the repudiating amend ment is rejected and the people show that they are ready to deal justly with their creditors he has no doubt the State will be able to make mu- tually satisfactory arrangement with it's creditors, as some other States have done, and he warns them that in any case repudiation is tho least profitable of all courses.
 If the people of the State are wise they will take Senator Garland's ad- vice, which is entirely sound, and which comes to them besides from 8 citizen to whose wisdom and flrmness Arkansas owes a greater debt for her present peace and prosperity than to any other man in her borders. It was . great good fortune for the peo pie of Arkansas that in the most crit ical period Of their history they had Senator Garland for their governor. New York Herald.

 From the Searcy Record.l
 MEssRs EDITORS ;-Slnce retired from the editorial chair, I have bothered no one--tried to attend to my private business and make little bread and meat for my nu- merous offspring-have succeeded in getting the bread. While l have been quiet in my actious, I have been doing considerable thinking upon the great national questions that are agitating the whole country, (.he presidential). 1 have listened attentively to the arguments of . great many gentlemen in favor of their favorites for the chiet execu- tive. have tried to ascertain what particular claim Messrs Bayard, Hancock, Hendricks and others have, over the great leader of 1876, Samuel J. Tilden. But have fail ed to see any as yet, and as l declar- ed for the latter gentleman last fall in the columns of the w Watchman" 1 hsva seen no reason to cause me to forsake him now. The objections now to Mir. Tilden have narrowed down to this; like the man that didn't like Dr. Fell; the reasons why he couldn't tell; but this he knew, he did not like Dr. Fell. There can be no objection to Mir. Tilden, in true national sense. He has proven him self in all his acts, pre-eminently qualified for leader, in national atfairs-I have only to refer to his able administration of the State of New York. Then he proved him self to be the greatest man to break up scoundrelism of the age. He broke up tho strongest and most com plete organization that ever existed in this country, and thereby saved his state over eight millions of dol lars per annum. Does this not show statesmanship? These facts were presented to the American people in 1876, and he was elected by the lar gest popular vote that was ever gwen to any president. Then why his op- position now? fear that. the de- signing politicians see in this great mind a man that will not tolerate rings and become pliant tool to help carryont measures that would not best subserye their own personal interest. The great fraud, known as the cleo toral commission, is now conceded to be the greatest imposition that has ever been perpetrated upon the

Democracy.

We are much disappointed over the results of democratic meetings through the county. All the results that we have been able to sum up have been to instruct del egates for primary election as . proper way to ascertain the wishes ofthe people for our county officers. The democracy of our township has done the same, and. we gre not to blame for It. as we worked against 1t.
 Democracy certainly implies for the people to rule, and, conveys clearly the idea for the majority to rule. Now we understand there are run ming for the nomination, some ten or . dozen for the same office. These men all being good men, will, of course, each get good vote, and this being the case will put forth a man the nominee of the party, with less than three hundred votes. l am decidedly in favor of organiza- tion and am going to support the nominees, without any reference to personal feelings, but l do think we must organize better or else we sure ly will fall to pieces. The people, the majority must rule or lel us sur render the name democrat. We are for conventions, and are for the delegation being chosen by majority of their constituents, and then when they, the delegates, meet to decide as to the nominees, let them declare no man the nominee until such person shall have received s majority of all the votes of the delegation. l am not seeking office now. and should l ever do so it will be this way. or

THE MAN TO NOMINATE.

The man who in 1876 got larger popular vote than any other man who ever made the race for Presi- dent of the U. S.-Saml. J. Tilden-- IS now the man for the national democracy, when the Cincinnati convention meets, to again place at the head of the democratic ticket. He is the man whom the hundreds of thousands of voters who voted for him before demand. Iehn Kel- ley and Tsmmany may be against him, for well they know that under the reform administration which MT. Tilden will inauguratc, they will stand no show at the public crib, but the solid rank and file of the party will stand only the more firmly by Mir. Tilden as Kelley's imprscations against him grow hotter and hotter. Every democrat of the rank and file feels that he was robbed of his vote in 1876, and feels now that in no way can his rights be so completely restored and the robbers 90 fully reprimanded as to simply go to the polls again in 1880 and do over again the glorious work done in 1876.
 If Mir. Tilden IS not cheated out his nomination al Cincinnati in Juno by seheming pol
 itical wire workers, he will be the next president of the Uuitsd States

The ros1lt may be summed up briefly thus, Ohio is for Truman; New Hampshire is four for, and six against Tllden; Wisconsin Is diyid cd between Wsshburn, Blaine and Grant; Mississippi is likewise di- vided; Grant gets about two-thirds and Blaine the remainder of the Tenness delegation; New Jersey and Delaware are for Blaine; Mary land is for Grant. New Hampshire is divided between Blaine and Grant, the former having a majority of the delegates. Six hundred out of the Seven hundred and fifty six dele gates to Chicago have now been chosen. Out of these six hundred delegates, if New York and Pennsyl- vania east their votes solid for Grant he will have 356 votes, leaving him yet Al votes in the minority.

--Gen. John Mcdonald, the hero of the whiskey ring frauds, under Grants administration, has stated to Chicago Times reporter that in case of Grants nomination at Chica- 20 he will make disclosures and pro- duee evidence to substantiate the same showing up the whole infamous connection of the Grant administra- tian with the whiskey ring frauds. He asserts that no man in this coun- try holds such powerful lever in his hand as he does; that he went to prison on an understanding and an idea to save the country from the most frightful shame and disgrace that could ever have covered any country; that he need not have gone any further than the court room alone; and when the reporter asked him "do you mean to say you went to prison by agreement and to save Grant," he replied "I m can just that in effect" He stoutly affirms ais in tention in case of Grants nomina- tion, to let the whole story come out, and he says it will sink the Grant crowd under load that will kill them SO dead that . graye-digger wouldn't waste his time on them.

At the conclusion of our last week. 2 review of the cotton market of the official cotton week middling cotton in New York quoted 12sc, declined during the week to Il sc, New Orleans quoted l24c, fell to lie; Liverpool quoted i'd, fell to I'd, Memphis quo I2c fell to 1lic. This account shows that the wavering condition of the market for the last few weeks has at length resulted in a 'brcak. " The Bulls, who had sustained their position with great infexibility, were at. last com pclled to yield. It was clearly dem- onstrated that England was working fully up to it's spindle power, and could not, if the call was ever SC pressing, extend it. This showed the limit beyond which England could not go, while there was gen; eral conccnt at home to increase the cotton estimate above what the bu- reau so obstinately reported it to- ward the conclusion of the last sea son. Trade is everywhere improving, and should Europe escape war we may look for favorable condition oi things, so that there is no need of depression. But there is need for taking warning and not planting cotton this sprins beyond all warrant Let the planter remember that Eng land has this season run to the ex- tent of her spindle power. Any growth, therefore, beyond the amount of power is . growth beyond possi- ble consumption; 1t will therefore be supply beyond demand, and the only result of over planting will be to gratify England by supplying her with cotton at her own price. The Liverpool correspondent of the New York Bulletin examines the prospect of the cotton supply and consumption up to the end of the present season, and says: "Last year the receipts at the ports on March 3Ist amounted to 4.140, 900; this year totaled 4,470, ,00O bales-an increase of 330,0O0 bales. Comparing tEe stocks at the interior towns for the same dates, there is further in- crease of 140, ,000 bales apparent, or in all an increase this year over last, on Mar. 31st, of 470,000 bales. J Comparing with last year there was falling of in February of Sl ,00C bales, of which 82,000 was received in March. and up to the end of the season the probabilities are tha, there will be slight difference be
 tween the figures of the two years, SC that this years crop will exceed that of last year by 470,0 ,000 bales, giving total crop this year of 5,543,00t bales. The writer then estimates the consumption of cotton, from which the conclusion comes, that the Liverpool stock ot cotton at the end of the season will be 259.00( bales against 25O, ,OO0 last year. The fact that the India crop this season is so good that 1t competes with the American lower grades has only to be taken into account. The conclus
 ion is i've shall finish the year with quite as large, if not considerably larger, stocks than last year. With this view there Is no prospect of much improvement on the presen, range of values, nor yet of any seri' ous decline. for there is always the probability of a pincn when stocks al the close of August are below 300,
