congress. This district never had q better representative, and we want . sober man snch as Col Cfzyens. Return him to Congress by all msans.-Wheeler's Independent
 Hon. Jordan F. Crxvens, Of this congressional district, is as faithful q servant as Arkansas ever sent to Washington. He is always at his post of duty, using his best efforts ir behaI: of such legislation as he be- lieves to be for the best interests of the people. Col. Cravens is not 2 brilliant man, but he is what is far better: man of strong practical com mon sense, incorrnptible integrity and great fidelity. In every aspect of the case he comes up to the Jsffsr sonian standard. The people of the third congressional will never have . representat::ss who will be more attentive to their wants or more in dustrious in working for their inter ests than Jordan E. CraYens. They may fad more eloquent orators and more brilliant politicians. but for the sturdy virtues of honesty, fidelity. sobriety and zeal in the public ser vice they vii. find no sape-iors and few equals. This is no fulsome praise but the plain truth.-L- R. Democrat.

The students of the State Uni. versity of Indiana. at Bloomington, invited Mir. Jefferson Davis Of Mis- sissippi, to address their literary societies at the next commencement in June and as consequence thereof, the people Of that loyal city are highly indignant h. deed, popular indignation reached such . point that the faculty was forced to intervene and forbid the invitation being forwarded During this time the people of the South were freely spending their money, their time and their lung power, in feasting and entertaining General Grant, and shouting their welcomes to the great Union soldier. And yet, they say the South is not recon structed, and that Northern men arc not treated with consideration and respect by our people. But actions speak louder than rofds--let the wsrid judge between us.-Gazet.e.

OUR SUPPLEMENTS.

With to-days paper we send out the supplement which we promised last week, but which, from an una voidable delay we were not then able to have ready. We commend 8 careful psrusal of thes. documents to our readers as it is on . question which they will bs called upon to cast their votes this fall. We only add this one remark in this eonnsc- ton. to-wit: as this whole matter of the proposed amendment will be settled some months before the in auguration of the next governor, the attitude either of these candidates may sustain toward this question can have no particular bearing upon their availability as the nominee of our party.

EXTENSIVELY ENDORSED.

EXTENSIVELY ENDORSED.
 Throughout the entlre Stats the candidacy of Hen. J. N. Smithee, for the office of Governor, is well re- ceiyed by the State press, and he is receiving many encomiums- His in domitablc energy, his ontspoken and candid expression of his own honest convictions, his push and progress- iveness. his aggressiveness and zeal al these qualities predominate in the man to a degree which com mands the respect and admiration of the public. And whsre man has been able 10 work his way up from . poor printer boy to the position which Mir. Smithse now occupies in the public affairs of his State and in the esteem of his citizens, il is taken as pretty good evidence that there is something in him. When the hsts were first opened we thought the race would be between Gen. Churchill and Governor Miller, but now, since they have ali been in the field for a time, and since we have seen something of an sxpres. sion of public sentiment through the press of the State, we include MT. Smithee in the list of probabilities.

No Use of Denying It.

It is of no use for the Republican party to deny that they are in favor of an empire. Their disavowal would be entitled to no credit The recent history of this party shows that it's leaders are ready to avow any political faith in pursuit of office.
 Four years ago they passed reso lutions of unalte-able opposition to a third term. Now they are just as unalterably in favor of 8 third term.
 Reasoning from analogy. the stronger they now profess to be op- posed to an empire the more strong iy may we expect to see them ad- yocate the establishment of an em pire four years hence.
 The Republican party was . good enough war party; but as peace party It has descended to the lowest political depths.
 It isa party which has so falsihed it's own words as to be utterly un- worthy of further trusI-N. '. Sun.

Pope county, it will be rsmen bered, was, by act of the last legis laturs, detached from the fourtt Congressional District and attached to the third. The aspirants for Con grsssional honors from this distric' are Hon. Jordan E. Cravens, oul present representative, Major J. P Byers. . well known young attorney of Franklin county, and Col. Robert A. Howard. . gifted member of the Little Rock bar. So far as we ara able to sound the sentiment of thi: neck of the woods we believe it may safely be announced that Pope county will stand by Col. Crayens by very large majority.

without being detected by the guards. one or two of whom were kept on duty all the .ime would be pretty hard to explain. Al the time they left she jail . heavy ram and hail storm was raging and the two guards had gone to supper
 Itis another instance of the folly and danger of the delays of the law" in dealing out justice to nctor ious criminals The James murder CTS should have been tried and hung long ago. We have no patience with such administration of the laws against crime We have no patience with an admin istration of the laws which allows lawyers to baffie along until the most notorious and desperate criminals cheat justice out of her vengeance, either sy protracung the case until witnesses all die of or are bought ofi, or until outside accomplicss have an opportunity to deliver the jails of incarcerated law w-breakers, or until the guards become so careless aad the people so tired of the heavy ex- pense of keeping prisoners In jail that they let them get away to get rid of them. What we need is courts which will have the frmness to bring the criminals promptly to trial and see that the laws are viEdicated.
 LATER--Sunday morning about 10 0 clock Holland and Casey were arrested by band of citizens who had discovered them skuiking about the margin of . slough in Holly Bend township, some ten miles below this place. on the Ark ansas River. The re-captured pris- oners had no arms, and were about starved out. having had but one meals vltuxls since their escape, Thursday. Tucker and Baker, the other two prisoners who escaped the same time had seperated from Hol land and Casey the evening before and consequently escaped being re captured. The pursuing party took their trail and being only . few hours behind them, will, perhaps, scoop them up. Holland and Casey were taken to Dsrdsnellc and again incarcerated.

They Don't Answer Because
 They Can't.

The Union County Times maker the astonishing declaration that no paper tn the state opposed to the Fishback amendment has given q single reasod for such opposition, Aside from many reasons founded in some policy which have been urged from time to time by many able state papers in opposition to the proposed measure, there is & reason against it whica lies at the very bot tom of the whole question, and one which the amendment advocates have not answered and cannot an. swer. tis this: The proposition denies the right of the creditor to be heard, and cuts him of without remedy. It violates that sense of justice that has always characterized the American people. Common honesty and fair dealing demand that . settlement should be had, in which both creditor and debtor have an opportunity to be heard l. R. Democrat.
 Every correct thinking man who knows anything at all about the sim plest principles of busi- ness must admit that the Democrat gets down to the very pith of the whole matter in the above short par agrsph.

THE BOONE COUNTY ROAD.
 The Harrison Times copies our remarks which appeared in this pa per two weeks ago on the Boone Go. Road question and says:
 Now. Bro. Battenfield, you are talking to the point We have waited patiently for that report, and to hear what the action of that com mittee is to be, and had about come to the conclusion that all hands had gone back on the promises made, but now we have hopes Our peo pie are just as anxious for the road as ever, and ss soon as the crops are in, will gladly lend . hand to carry out any measure the commit tee may propose toward finishing the road. We want the road and are willing to help build it, % let the comraittee make the programme, and de it right away.
 So you see the people north of the mountain are watching and waiting upon this matter. There was no trifing about it with them, and they expect none about it with us. They meant just what they said when they came over here and they expect us t6 do just what we said we wonld do. This summer, after the crops are laid by,svill be the time to put good ticks on the good work, and we urge the committees to be .. work perfecting their plans, collect ing the donations subscribed, &c-, and then when crops are laid by we on this side of the mountain and the good people on the Harrison side can join together in some good. efficient ticks on the road, and by the time tho crops are ready to mar ket we will have good road. We may add that since we wrote the plain article and put the pointed questions contained ID our paper two weeks ago, the report and complete plat of the road from Engineer Martin has been received and is now in the hands of our committee. Let the committee have . meeting and pass resolutions, or take such action as will put the machinery of prspara- ton to active work. We shall ex- pect good faith upon the part of all who have made profession of inter- est in this important matter.

RATHER THIN.
A Proceeding Which Looks like
 a Malicious Prosecution,
And also savors Strongly of al
 Attempt to BiacknaiL-
Al Good Man the Victim.

Last Monday Deputy T.. s. Mar shall Mat Wallace, came up from Little Rock and with . process issu- cd from the U. s. circuit court ares ted and carried to Little Rock, Mir. Robert A. Reddell, of this place. The charge against him was taking from the Post Office and opening 3 letter for another party.
 We learn that the following are about the facts in the case: There is living Tn Holly Bend township . man by the name of Robert B. Red dell. His Post-office address is Rus sellville, Ark. Some time about the latter part of January or the first of Fspruary last letter came 10 this Post office for him. When Robert A. Reddell called for his mail this letter was given out to him and he took it home and opened it without noticing that it was addressed ts Robert B., instead of Robert A. Red dell. As soon as he commenced reading 1t he saw that it was for his nephew, Robert B. Reddell, Ind not for himself. He laid the letter away remarking to his wife that he would send it down to his nephew by the first one gong down his way. Next day in conversation with . MT. J. W. Baker who was at work down in the same nelghborhood with his nephew, he told him Baker, about the matter and told Baker to tell his nephew to call and get the letter the first time he came to town. Thus the matter passed from notice un til one day about s month aftsrward Robert. B. Reddell called for the let ter, but Robert A. Reddell having moved from his residence here in town to his farm in the country in the meantime. the letter had become misplaced and he was unable to find it. His nephew became angry and sad he must have the letter or dam ages. and proposed that if his uncle, Robert 4. Reddell, would pay him s10 he would drop the matter, and if the money demanded was not paid he would make it cost him $500. Robert A. Reddell refused to pay the money demanded, and thus the mat ter rested until last Monday when the arrest was made. The party ar rested IS an old and universally es teemed citizen. The party at whose instigstion the arrest is made is re- gently from Texas, and is, for aught we know to the contrary. good man, but in this transaction he has cer- tainly placed hlmelf in the attitude Of instituting . malicious prosecu- ton because he could not take ad vantage of an nnintentional mistake on the part of his uncle and secure ten dollars as hush money.

A Hearty Endorsement Gener-
 ally Expressed.
 People are very ssnsibly settling down in the belief that when they have true representative in Con- gress, It is folly to bs frequently swapping. It is . wise conclusion, for after . man has become acquaint- cd with the routine of public legis. lation what IS the use of retiring him simply because some one else thirsts after office and the emolu- ments and honors thereoT
 We copy below a few extracts from the press of the Third Con gressional Distinct 10 show that this feeling prevails in regard to cur pre- sent representative in Congress:
 We are for Col. Jordan E. Cravens for our representative to Congress against any one yet spoken of.-Ft Smith Elevator.
 The old reliable Jordan E. Cra- vens is x candidate for reelection to Congress from this district. He has served the people faithfully for tive terms, and we are sure they will show their appreciation of his hard labor and fidelity to their interest, by returning him to Congress with . handsome majority of their votes.- Ozark Advocate.
 Col J. E. Cravens, member of Congress from thin district will be his own successor. About 1000 of the electors of Logan county are ready to endorse him--Paris (Lo- gan county) Express.
 There is scarcely any room for doubting that Hon. J. k. Cravens will be re nominated and if nomina- ted will certainly be reelected. Franklin county may be put down for him.--OzaIk Democrat.

MT. Byers IS endowed with many qualifications for the well-hll- ing of this position, and, should the electors so decree It, the third dis trics will be well represented in con gress-yan Buren Press.
 The Hon. J. P. Byers has amour csd himself for Congress Capt. By CTS is . young man and possesses a great fund of knowledge upon all the important issues of the day. He is also . young man of energy and if the electors of this district should see it to bestow upon him the office be seeks they will have in congress aa able representative.-Atkins News.
 Why MT. Durham, Why friend Jennings. Do you really mean itf Do you really mean to express it as your honest opinion that Arkansas would be well represented"-that ws would have an ''abls representa- tive" in Congress if we should elect Mir. Byersf Why, gentlemen, Con gress IS made up of . collection of the ablest men in the union, and to be @ueIl'' rsb-essnted or to have an able" represe ntative among such a body of men is something which, when said of man, is placing him high up among great men.
 We recognize and approve an aspiring disposition and & spirit ef energy and zeal and determination to excell, and us always feel inclined 10 encourage it and to give a help ing word ofencouragement to any young man possessing such aspirit; a but ue don't believe in this way of making s great man out of a man by mere assertions and newspaper pufs, and that too before he has had the experience, the age, and the op- portunity 70 win some claim 10 the title.
 Far be It from us to lay even as much as a straw across the path of any young man seeking to rise h the world, or to utter . word to thwart such a spirit in the accom- plishmsnt of efforts to excel; but we have a sense of the "eternsl fitness of things" which makes us feel as though it were our duty, when it comes to selecting . representative for our rapidly rising State :n the halls of the National Congress, wher. we need age, experience. ripened maturity of character and thought, acquaintance with the rou. tine and red tape of pubhe service in Washington, and prestage Of ac- quaintanse with the great men with whom graphing may become nee essary, to raise our voice and say Ago slow" in making . choice sf our man, and don't eadorss any man for such a position unless his actu- al merits are such as to justify such s high and important position.
