A day or two ago a prominent Democrat in
this city told friend, who had formerly
been Democrat and he still supposed him
to be one, that MAST had mapped out the

SENATOR GARLAND has written letter
in opposition to an amendment to the
Constitution of Arkansas, now pending
before the people, prohibiting the levy
of any tax to pay interest on large
proportion of the bonded debt of the State.
He thinks " the adoption of the amendment
"would be an empty and foolish act, futile
"and disreputable" Nevertheless, we think
it will be adopted overwhelmingly in
Arkansas. If there were two vigorous,
unawed political parties in Arkansas there
would be some prospect of affecting public
opinion favorably by argument such as
Senator GARLAND adrnnces. Each party
would move carefully aud with true con.
servatism upon such questions. But with
the Republican party practically suppressed
and The Democratic party in consequence
dominated by its most ignorant, selfish and
violent elements, such letters as Senator

But yet union in partition,
Two lonely berries moulded on one stem:

Then followed a scene that beggaIs de-
scriptiOn. Greasy caps were thrown in
the air-men who had not spoken for years
embraced, kissed and melted into tears,
which soon merged them selves into smiles
at an adjacent grocery. Everybody was
happy, and the Bourbon flood Of genuine
Democratic affection flowed like water, each
quafl cementing more strongly the here

actors, but upon the outer political world
it will have no more effect than gust

floor, but it will have no more power to
elevate him TO the Speakers chair than
WALLACE will have of being returned to
the United States Senate by a Republican
Legislature. While the Democrats are
maudlin over their re-cemented friondships,
the Republicans of Pennsylvania will close
ranks and move on shoulder to shoulder in
the work of holding the State fast in the

THE CEMENT OF THE SOUL.

Pennsylvania has two distinguished
statesmen of the Democratic persuasion,
who for years have been creating chasms
between themselves and their respective
followings, until the highest art of bridge
building seemed to have been ba1lled in the
hope of finding spans that would restore
connections. These chieftains of hostile
clans were Hon. WILLIAM A. WALLACE, of
the United States Senate, and Hon. SAM
UEL j. RANDALL, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and their arrangement
seemed to have assumed chronic form
that defed the powers of healing. In
point of ambition, hatred and hateful
methods of disagreement, they appeared to
be well matched, as they are in ability,
which is about the average to be found
among Pennsylvania Democrats. Neither
are intellectual giants, but both possess
a sort of tact and cunning which in that
party often passes for talent and statesman
ship, and which is counted in that mart as
greatness. These men have been in fierce
quarrel. What either might want the other
was sure not to want, and in this way they
had learned to hate and despise each other
with a cordiality that spread as pertinn-
ciously as the Canada thistle until, both had
their followings, and the quarrel expanded
so that the party was made up chiefly ol
bandaged sore-toes and sore-heads. RAN
DALI was for TMDEN, and WALLACE was
for another-certainly not for RANDALL's
man-and thus the clans worried each other
until the late State convention was held
when an explosion was anticipated.
Here surprise was in store for public
delectation. Under seme power the thought
of reconciliation between these hostile
chiefs was generated, formulated and made
practical, for at the opening of the State
convention dramatic scene was enacted
between these two Democratic clansmcn in
the presence of their followers, who were
even then regarding each other with evil
ewes. WALLACE and RANDALL walked
hand-in- hand together to the front of the
platform of the convention hall, looked
each other in the eye, smiled a sweet smile
embraced, looked happy, and taught the
assemblage of warning elements in their
! front that they had met at that point

SOME of the BLAINE guns which have
been blazing away at General GRANT so
fiercely, have become overheated and their
fire slackens-then their recoi is beginning
to be felt very seriously, as will be shown
in several important States yet to hold their
conventions. The bulge Of the BLAINE boom
has been, perhaps, prematurely reached by
overriding it, and the smaller end is being
approached gradually. Fair play is always
the decent thing. According to the Inter-
Oeear's figures the canvass for delegates to
the Illinois State convention is progressing
very satisfactorily. The countupto this time
stands 95 for GRANT and Al for BLAINE.
1t contends that GRANTS lead to the end
will be at the rate of four to one, and yet
the BLAINE bureaus are claiming the State
for their chief. BLAINE will carry Illinois
as he did Ohio--on the shoulders Of another
candidate. The malignant policy will not
win. The taper in the affair has been
reached, and it will grow smaller by de-
grees and beautifully less to the end.

TODAY ends the fifth month of the pres
ent session of Congress. With decisive
majority in both branches the Democratic
party has failed to perfect u single measure
of real importance TO the country, and has
only in the last week of the fifth month
passed one regular appropriation bill--even
that with a political rider, which would
have justified a veto, but which the Presi-
dent found so inconsequent that he could
safely conclude that it really meant moth
ing. The very immediate deficiency bill,
which it has taken five months 10 pass, is
still in the hands of the President, who
may well hesitate to sign q bill which itself
exercises the veto power, and without re-
pealing any law declares that no officer
shall be paid for discharging his sworn
duty in enforcing such laws
This is about all that has been DONE and
these two things have been done badly.

Our old friend and fellow townsman
Lieut.. Governor S. D. McEnery, ar
rived on the Blanks Friday night.
Shortly after his arrival the Euterpcan
Brass Band proceeded to his residence
on Front street and serenaded him.
In response to a call for speech tho
Governor came forward and addressed
the crowd which had by this time as
sembled. He began by thanking the
band for the honor bestowed, and the
assemblage for their presence. He
then referred briefly to the work OF the
Legislature; said many wise laws had
been passed, and he must acknowledge
some had been defeated. He then re-
ferred to the condition of the State;
said that the present Legislature would
compare favorably with any one since
the war, and explained that great
difficulty with that body was mis-
construction by some of the members
of the new Constitution; he said peace
and tranquility now reigned in the
State and confidence was restored. TO
whom was this due? To the Demo
cratic party. He congratulated all on
this happy state OF affairs and was glad
to know that not even her most bitter
enemies could now blemish the fair
name of our dear State-Louisiana.
Tie Governor was frequently cheered.
1t gives US pleasure to add that we
have heard only the highest encom-
iums passed upon the record made by
Gov. McEnery as presiding officer Of
the Senate, the duties of which, be-
sides being arduous, were not as IA

CONDEMNED TO BE HANGED,
Murdered His Wife J

Green Redding who has been lying
In Jail for several months under the
charge of numbering his wife on the
place of Mr.. Lazare, has been arraigned
and convicted of the crime at this term
of Court. Redding has appealed to the
Supreme Court, and the appeal has
been granted. H&E 50
It will be remembered by all who
heard the preliminary examination,
that Redding then unequivocally adj
mitted the killing, but was unable to
assign in his voluntary statement any
adequate motive for the act, except
that on the day the deed was COM
mitted, he had been to Monroe and
been drinking freely.
Below will be found the proceedings
Of the Court on the occasion of passing
the sentence, which has been kindly
furnished as BY the Clerk from his
shorthand notes.
The accused was brought into Court
and sentenced by the Court in words as
follows: a.........
Green Redding, you have been tried
and convicted before jury of your
countrymen of the crime of murder.
1t becomes the unpleasant duty of the
Court to pass the sentence of the law
upon you. Have you anything to say
| why the sentence imposed by the law
should not now be pronounced?
Prisoner answers: I do not know
how to answer you, sir.
BY the Court: Tho Court simply
asks you if you have any reason to give
why tho the sentence Of the law should
| not he pronounced.
BY the prisoner: / do not know
how came to do 1t, sir; cannot tell,
sir. done it and can't give any bet.
ter evidence sir.
BY the Court: You have had the
benefit of q fair trial, represented by
counsel who has certainly taken advan-
tage of all that the law accords In your
favor, and you still have the right to
have any error this Court may have
committed corrected by an appeal to
the Supreme Court. But you have
been convicted of the crime Of murder,
the murder of your wife. 1t is unnec-
essary that the Court should make any
remark, except that you are legally
| guilty of a crime of the most serious
| and awful character, for which, under
the verdict and law the penalty is
death.
The sentence of the Court is, that, at
such time and place as hereafter the
Governor of the State may fix, you he
taken by the Sheriff of the parish OF
Ouachita from the Jail and hanged by
the neck until you are dead.
I have performed my duty. Mr..
Sheriff, take charge of the prisoner.
