districts will send Is delegates, Presidential preference is under stood to be for Field, Thurman, Bayard and Hancock. They will vote to sustain ths two thirds rule.
 Mir. J. R. Pettigrew, of the Fayetteville Sentinel, writing to his paper from Washington, says:
 On the proposition to provide ad- ditional vaults to be used by secrs- tary Sherman in hosrding up silver, the democrats in the house decided that he should pay out the surplus on the public debt, thus destroying the radical scheme to dspreciate sil- yer coin.
 The state teachers association meets at Little Rock on the 2Sth oi June, and continues in session until July 1st. This promises to be the most interesting and profitable ses- sion ever held in the state. Rail road fares will be reduced to one and eas fifth for the round trip, and members of the association will be entertained free by the citizens o Little Rock.
 Never before in the history o1 any party have the friends of any candidate made such desperate ef forts to foist ticket upon an un willing party, as have Conkling Cameron and Logan in their frenzy to nominate Grant. It is an uner ring indication that greed for office and position is taking the place O party principles and love of country in tho hearts of the managers of .th' republican machine. Such . Party deserves defeat, and defeated it vii bo if tho democrats are wise in theil labors at Cincinnati.

 Col. Cravens by every act shows the spirit of . true statesman. While It is but natural for members, who are candidates for reelection, to desire an early adjournment of congress in order that they may meet their opponents with the peo pie, Col. Cravens, true to his trust, manfully resisted the adjournment until certain measures of vital inter est to the country and theI people be disposed of. Clear the track, ye lawn ing demagogues, Col. Crsvens will crush you to the earth.
