a member of the Electoral Commission
For this reason, if for no other. he could
not poll the full vote of the old-fasL-
ioned, straight-out Democracy.
Besides ali this, the Tilden wing ol
the party would chill OH him to such
an extent that he would be left stark
and stiff before the election as Tilden
was after Mr.. Bayard's peculiar South.
ern friends had made their trade with
Hayes for the completion of the fraud
ulent count in 1877.
It is manifest, therefore, that those
who talk of side movement to impose
Mr.. Bayard on the Democratic party
do not seek the success of that party.
Their purpose is very different. When
nominated, whether by one convention
or by both. they would leave him and
the Democratic party in the scrape, and
make their own terms with Grant, as
Schurz and the other members of the
Fifth avenue conference did with Hayes
in 1876.

The Grant boom meets with an occa.
sional bumper, but like the flow of a
majestic river, which although rippled
sometimes with a little obstruction. it
moves along all the same. At Utica,
New York, the other day, the regulars
chose an out-and-out Grant delegation,
headed by Roscoe Conkling himself,
whereupon the belligerent anti-third-
termers amused themselves by getting
together in corner and adopting a
resolution to the effect "that we repeat
earnestly the declaration of the New
York Republican State convention of
1875 of "unalterable opposition to the
election of any President for third
term," and instruct our delegates to
the convention to be held on the 25th
inst. to enforce this principle in every
honorable way" But when the cleo
tion time comes around these same
guileless people will he found voting the
regular ticket. On this proposition the
the boomers may safely risk their "bot-
tom dollar"

Tonight week ago, some burglars
went into Messrs. Reed & McGrady's

failing in this undertaking, they only
took lox of knives and one pair OI

manner in which Messrs. McHenry &

We advise Democrats who really de-
sire to win the Presidential election to
be on their guard against very large
and lifelike Trojan horse which is now
being prepared for their benefit. We
refer to the outgiving from Washing
ton to the effect that certain so-called
Liberal Republicans, the Hessian
Schurz among them, will bolt the NOM
ination of Grant, call a convention of
their own, and nominate an eastern
Democrat" with a view to forcing him
upon the Democratic Convention. This
Eastern Democrat, all authorities
agree, would be Mr.. Bayard; and the
Bayard organs have industriously
spread the tale.
Now if there is any one thing clear,
it is that Mr.. Bayard is the one able
and distinguished Democratic leader
who cannot possibly be elected Presi-
dent in November. He is Southern
man, with an ugly Southern record,
pushed forword within the party by OBJ
noxious Southern leaders, and every
way the very man against whom a
Republican campaign
would sweep every Northern electoral
vote.
Moreover, and still more important,
Mr.. Bayard was one of the suthor. of
'he unconstitutional Electoral bill, and

A report was made the other day by
House Elections Committee in the con-
tested case Of Donnelly VS.. Washburn
from the Third Minnesota district, a
majority of the committee favoring
the unseating of Washburn. In refer
ence to this case, the st. Paul Globe OF
Saturday says:
''If the acton OF the committee is approved
by the House, As it undoubtedly will be- it will
be long step towards purify sng the Third
Minnesota district. Probably hundred times
or more since tbe election oI 1873, The Globe
has called public attention to the fact tha,
while many fraudulent votes were cast, there
would be no effort made to prove that Wash
burns majority was made NJ in this manner
The contest was based upon intim dation AND
bribery. The intimidation Was especially prac

of Importance, from this place this
time. You will remember that I stat
ed in my last, that after the visit OF
Captain Zwart and John w. Hollo-
man to Des Arc, real estate would ad-
vance in value. My prediction has
proved true-if not in value, at least
I'm demand. There have been several
transfers since their visit. Mr.. Will

has bought out Mrs. Judge Williams.
P. NJ. Maddox, Esq, has bought out
Barney MCGEE. Mrs. Charlton has
purchased the Quillmontz property,
through G. A. Butts, agent of Quill

bought five lots from Charles Will

their mill about up, and will be cut

have a good many logs already in the

When finished, he will entertain the

es, for several years together, It would
make the landlord ravenous; and with
such large proportion Of land titled by
men who do not own 1t, such a result
would be serious enough to amount to
q calamity.
Good times have struck US here at
last. After the bulk of our heavy, and
superb, crop Of wheat had gone into the
hands of the spectators, at eighty-five
cents a bushel, the price rose to over
one dollar and twenty cents a bushel;
and after the hog crop, which is always
a large one here, had nearly all gone in
to the hands of packers and spectators,
at three dollars and twenty-five cents
per hundred, the price appreciated even
more than wheat. Right upon the top
of this, almost everything that farmers
need jumped up at a great rate, especial
ly iron i'm every form. The consequence
is, that the tillers of the soil, upon whose
prosperity the welfare of every other
class is supposed to depend, will havs
to stint and economize in every possi-
BILE way. The early and inevitable re-
suit of this will be, that the industrial
classes must suffer, while the gambling
and moneyed classes, who speculate up
ON, and take advantage of, the necessi-
ties OF the workers. will profit greatly by
this state of affairs.
Quite q number Of our ex-soldiers
here, are playing cat for the Greenback
monkey, and he is using their paws to
pull his chestnuts out of the fire. They
have publicly resolved to eternally send
up the spout any member Of Congress
who dares to exercise his better Judge
ment and oppose or modify the Weaver
soldier salary-grab bill. If the oppon-
ents of that bill would only pass a SIM
liar resolutions, what woful fix our
Congressman would be in. They would
have before them but two roads, one
leading to hell and the other to damna-
ton, and the NJ. C.s would have to take
to the woods sure enough.
Those epistles from Cross Roads that

a sharp and stock a shovel, he's a rip
per; but as local correspondent, he's
a little tame. He ought to nose around
until he heard of somebody slipping up
and breaking either their necks or nos
es; or catch some young Samuel play
ing pranks i'm women's clothes-some-
thing a little exciting, you know, If it's
only to those i'm the secret. However,
as democrat" is an old friend, hope
he'll take my jokes without getting
any more riley, for think he's pretty
much all Riley already. Soberly, 1

well meaning man can live there as long
as did and not feel real interest in the

Gen. Horace Porter, and Boss Shepherd.
He is q candidate!
For he himself has said 1t,
And all the fact must credit
That he is q candidate.
In spite Of the tradition,
He wants that high position,
And can't afford to wait;
So. just as Blaine or Sherman,
Or Tilden or Judge Thurman,
He is candidatei
He Is candidate!
He seeks the nomination,
And fain would seize the station
By stealing any State.
Though cnce he did abuse it,
And now he should refuse 1t,
His cravings don't abste;
So it is his intention
To capture the Convention,
And remain Q candidate!
He Is candidate!
His partners and bis cronies
Set traps to catch the comics,
With only chatf Tor bait;
tAnd all their neat negations
Were polite Orations,
Our ears to titillate;
So, when the truth Is sifted,
And when the veil Is lifted,
He is a candidate
He Is q candidate!
His party can't defeat him.
And ring ste g swear to seat him
High In the chair Of State;
And when tue thrones erected,
It cannot be expected
Tina: he will abdicate:
80, spite of old tradition,
He shows his great ambition,
Aud is u candidate!

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE following letter
received by M. L. Scudder Of this city,
explains itself:
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1SSO.-MY dear
sir: Your letter of the 9TH inst, in which
you express your stong dissent to my retiring
from the Presidential race, is received.
never for moment have contemplated such
q course and the rumor you speak of was
no doubt promptly denied. The first public
mention Of my candidacy was in the infer
ence drawn from my letter to Hon. Mr..
Harkins of New York, in which I stated
what would seek to do in case of my nomi-
nation and election. Since that time have
been considered by the public as candidate
and have so regarded myself with the
purpose neither to Pes anyone to support
me nor to decline such friendly aid as is
offered me- This position intend to oc-
cupy to the end. do not think it necessary
for me to belittle or arraign General Grant
Senator Blaine or anyone else, nor will use
my official position to promote my candi-
dacy. Very truly yours,

ELECTION DECISION.

Intimidation of White Voters Not Punish
able Under the Fifteenth Amendment.
CHICAGO, March 12.-Judge Blodgett ron
dered an interesting decision, to-day, in the
nature of advice to the United States COM
missioner, upon an election point. At the
recent municipal election, at Elgin, ILL.,,
about seventy voters, employed in the milk
oon1ensing works, were notified by their
superintendent to vote the Ono License
ticket. The license nominee thereon applied
to Commissioner Hayne to arrest the super
intendent. MIR. Hayne, being in doubt, re-
ferred the matter 10 Judge Blodgett, who,
to dsy, advised him that the United States
supreme court, in similar case, had held
that the 18th amendment, and revised stat
utes 5,5O7, contemplate the protection in the
right of suffrage only of former slaves, and
that free or white men don't come within
these legal safeguards. The writ for arrest
will therefore not issue.

last lot. This series of sales is now closed.
Prices finished at the highest point, except
for Snow White Capes, which sold slightly
under the highest figures. The advance on
the last series of sales is for Australian to
31ad, and in some cases more; and Cape 1 to
I'd. One hundred and lightweight thousand
seven hundred bales have been sold, 1900
for export and $500 for home trade. The
feeling of confidence in the sugar market has
further increased. Refiners are buying West
Indies at fully cd per 100 weight above last
weeks quotations. Crystalized is rather
dearer, as also are low brown sorts and float
ing cargoes. Beet sugar is rather above last
weeks rates.
