Dorsey and Brady. We do not Say
that they are guilty, but we arc un
willing to assume, in advance, that
they are innocent. There is moth
ing IN their character or their ante
cedcnts TO exempt them from n sus
picion which would instantly and
universally attach itself TO persons
in private life who might hold q
similar relation TO crime directly
and conclusively profitable to them.
selves. Ii is not so difficult IA thing
to proclre q murder. Sometimes
it is done by alteration, sometimes
by intlmation, Let Messrs. Conk-
ling, Dorsey and Brady be sworn,
and let Mr.. Arthur be watched.
The circumstances Of the sight at
Albany, and on either side, show
that both sides have reached a point
where murder is n small matter.
We repeat, however that we arraign
nobody. We believe Mr.. Conk-
ling capable of any crime from III
cest to murder, and we fear he has
absolute control over Mr.. Arthur.
We confess to deeply rooted feel
ing, which disqualifes us as wit
ness. We therefore merely insist
that the rules of evidence which
were adopted and applied in the
murder Of Mr.. Lincoln be adopted
and applied in the attempted mur-
der of Mr.. Garfield. Ii the Presi.
dent dies let all these men be in
dIcted. They have by the mere
circumstance Of their political celeb
rity no immunity either from pop.
ular suspicion or arrest. Garfield,
unoffending and gentle as baby,
was not above being shot down like
Il dog. Neither shall Arthur aud
Conkling-great as they clam to
be-stand exempt from their re
sponsibiities rs citizens. They are
either guilty or not guilty OF this
dreadful crime which has been per
petratcd exclusively IN their inter
est which, if it succeeds, saves
them from lniamy and ruin. They
have no prerogativc Of ~ personal
privilege which the law IL bound
to respect. They must answer pre-
ciseiy as if they were PLAN, honest
people which they are not.

The people of Arkansas have de-
veloped a mania for discovering
Springs. New Springs of health
giving waters are being discovered
almost every day IN tho week,
and the healing quality OF the wa
ters published to the world. IT the
half that is said of their curative
properties be true, the Undertaker's
business in this state, will be ruined,
and the new colonies just emigra-
ting to our state will have to take
a few old corpse along to start
village graveyards. The latest dis
covcry IN the Spring line, and
which Is creating no little excite
ment, is The Pinaclc Springs, STU
ated ten miles from Conway, III
Faulkner county, which bids fair
to rival the celebrated Eureka.
When the Spring discovering fe-
yer does strike the people OF the
river counties, Springs bubbling
up through the swamps and oozy
quagmires, whose waters will be
recommended as a sure shot" for
chilIs and swamp fever, will be dis
covered on every quarter section OF
land. It's bound to be so. Thus
idea is consistent with the eternal
fitness of things. Nature which
produces the poison which causes
chills and swamp fever must also
supply the antidote. You fellows
up there in the hills Of Northwest
ern Arkansas, just wait Ill the dig
covcry mania strikes these bottoms

SAYS the WIttsburg Chronicle !:

DAhs INC W NlllsDuII OnfOlllClc.
"There is something suspicious
in the recent outbreak Of sentiment
respecting Judge j. N. CyFert and
the efforts being made to direct
public attention to him as proba-
bic candidate for congressional
honors. The high position that he
has occupied in the estimation of
the people of his judicial district,
as we have been led heretofore TO
believe, would rather indicate a
probability of It's being the choice
of his district to re.elcct him circuit
Judge. We doubt very much If the
people OF this congressional district
can be induced 10 drop Col. Dunn,
who now so ably represents it, and
take up new man TO ill the place.
While we do not generally contro-
vert the old democratic doctrine
of rotation in oillcc,' VIC do think
that too frequent changes in con
gressional representation are detri-
mental, and should not be made as
general rule as long as the incam-
bent manifests II full appreciation
of his duties"
SO far as we are concerned, the
only change that We would like to
see, were such thing possible,
would be to create the office Of Cir
cunt Judge at Large, and elect
Judge Cypert to fill that position.
He Is 9 terror to evil doers, and
under his strict and impartial per.
tormance of duty, the Statc would
soon be rid Of all law-broakcrs. He
is an able and efficient Judge and
we too doubt neither the people Of
his district would strip hlm of his
judicial ermIne even to exalt him
to a position IN the United States
Congress. He is the right man in
the right place, ditto dunn.

The Senator's Wife.

A lady correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial gives the following in
cident as having occurred in the Senate
gallery:
Two women struggling for q place
nearest the door got into fight. One
was a Senator's wife. Not being able to
crowd into the gallery set apart for Sen
ators' wives, she pushed through the
throng at the door of the ladies' gallery.
LET me in, she demanded of the door
keeper, and handed him her card. No
response. Senators have passed as
many as sixteen ladies apiece into the
Senatorial gallery, consequently people
who belong there are pushed out" She
was very angry. 81 wonder how many
Senators here own to having sixteen
wives" Madame, take your arms
awayl You knocked me in the chest. /
expected to find ladies here. L never
was in so uncouth a set. Keep your
elbow out of my chest, madaml L won't
stand such treatment l will stick n pin
in you!"
To the surprise and amusement of by
ISLANDERS, the Senator's wife produced q
pin. and threatened to bury it to the
head in the first one who touched her.
Presently a surge in the crowd threw q
lady against the defiant Senator's wife.
She turned with her pin ready to put
her threat into execution, but was met
by long bonnet pin in the hand of the
intruder. "Only in self-defense," the
lady said, laughingly. The Senator &
wife continued her abuse and vulgar ha-
rangue until the Sergeant had to
he called. In the excitement she slipped
through the unguarded door into the
gallery, and was lost in the inner throng,
and got by fraud what we who were
abiding by rules had to wait for, some oi
us. for over two hours"
