SLIGHTLY UNFAIR.

The foundations of tha republican
 party are laid in political jobbery and trading g.-[ Russellville Democrat.
 The Dardanelle Post of Feb, 10th culls the above from a labored editorial on Mahonism, which appeared in the Russellvlle Democrat of January 9th, and severely criticises it. To extract the above from the article of the Democrat on Mahoaism in the South, and set it out isolated and alone, was as unfair
 as the criticism is unjust. The Demo- crat was not, in that article, discussing tcnets or fundamental principles of the republican party, but the methods adopted by the party to divide and split the democratic party in the South, the foundations of which it characteri- zed as laid in political jObbery, trick cry and trading. The Post would say, we suppose, that Mahonism is lald in the conceptions Of human liberty, and dedicated to the eternal welfare of mankind-that with repudiation writ ten upon it's brow, all its devices to de- vide and split, and to shirk honest re- sponsibility. are laudible and christian motives. Well, little Billy Malone, will no doubt be glad to learn that he has deciple in Arkansas "earnestly contending for the faith delivered to the saints" The Post could not have mistaken the meaning of the Democrat. The editorial from which the Post ex- tracted the above was indexed "Mahon- ism" thereby followed long discuss ion to support the editors view that il was only republican scheme to cap ture the South, and in passing along made use of the above Post extract, which merely meant that "Mahonism was job put up by the republican
 party, and was the result of bargain

and intrigue. The construction of the Post was forced and unfair-the rule of "obiter dictum" applied. Courts never hold themselves bound by any expression that falls from them in de- livering their opinions upon any mat ter, except those which bear directly
 cpon the case at bar, why should the press? Applying this rule, the mean ing of the Democrat is apparent, as also is the unfairness of the Post, un- less it means indeed, to espeuse Mahon-
 ism. The Post we'll knew that the au- thor of the article of it's criticism bad retired from the editorial charge of the Democrat, and goes back six weeks, culls his subject without designating the number of the Democrat in which it appeared. We were put to great in- convenience and trouble to ascertain if the Democrat had contributed the subject of the Post. Possibly we do the Post wrong in charging that it knew the author of it's criticisms had retired from the editorial charge of this paper. If it is six weeks behind in its reading matter it has not come to that

 At late democratic caucus. not numeronsly attended, it was agreed to substitute for the bill of the committee on banking and currency, bill provi. ding for the treasurer to issue treasury notes reGeemable in coin on demand which shall be substituted for national bank notes; these treasury notes to be issued to the amount of national bank paper now in circulation of not less than ten dollars, and receivable for all dues and demands, including customs, by the United States or its creditors, except where otherwise specially pro- yided.

MRS. GARFIELD.

Mrs. Garfield refuses to answer z letter purporting to have been written her by Mrs Scoville, asking her to for give the murderer of her husband, but the statement she authorizes to be made through the associated press s,,cw ner to be lady CT the highest order. We clip from the Gazette:
 CLEVELAND, February 17.-J. II. Rhodes, secretary of the Garfield monu- ment committee, and the secretary of Mrs. Garfield, was interviewed by the associated press correspondent today, and said that Mrs. Garfield received a letter from Mrs. Scoville this morning, and that he was authorized in her be- half co say that toward the slayer of her husband she cherished no malice. He must answer to God and the Amer ican people. For the sister and all members of his family she feels only profound pity. Further than this, she asks to be left alone with her ser- rows, and to be kept from being drag ged into newspapers and torturing publicity. Mrs. Garfield will not an- swer the letter.

SHINN VS. TUCKER.

The case of J. l.. Shinn vs. J. W. Tucker is making history, The action was commenced in justices court be : fore G. E. Burney,. J. F., of Illinois Township in this county in 1876. The case was determined in Justice's Court in favor of the defendant Tucker upon the pleas of statutory bar, and pay ment. ShinE appealed to the Pope Circuit Court, where upon the same pleas the case was determined again in the interest of the defendant Tucker. Shinn appealed to Supreme Court. The case was there reversed and remanded The Supreme Court deciding that the cause of action was not barred, and that the proof was insufficient to sus. tain the plea of payment. In lSS0 at the March term of the Pope Circuit Court, another trial was had, the plea interposed payment, and the finding and judgment was again for the de. fendant Tucker, Shinn appealed again and the Supreme Court has recently reversed and remanded the case the second time, grounds not known, but presume the court has this time settled the points in the case SO that all errors on trial anew will be avoided. Both lit, igants are respected citizens of oul town.

WHAT A LAWYER SAID.

In conversation with lawyer not long ago, he said that only in the event of split in the party, the democratic, could never overthrow from power, the republican party. My dear friend, you indulge in fatal delusion. Notwith
 standing the wholesale disfranchise- ment in the south, to leave out the ne- gro vote, Seymour was elected over Grant in 1868. With anything like a fair election in the south Seymour would have gotten respectable electo- ral majority over Graht, though the embers of the war were at red heat. In 1872 the democratic party abandoned principle for policy by placing at the head of their ticket a lifelong republi- can, and very justly lost. There was no unanimity in the party, and, of cour-s, did not support Mr. Greeley with anything like the full party strength. In 1876 Mir. Tilden took the leadership of the party, then m a de- moraliZed condition, and lead it to glorious triumph and victory. He was elected by handsome electoral vote, and his pop ular majority was more than quarter of d million. His election is conceded by every republican in the land. It is unnecessary te speak of the sin against the Holy Ghost committed by the re- publican party to defraud Mr. Tildcn of the highest honors of earth-the sut- frage of the American people. In 1880 and got their just deserts. In the first place the ingratitude of the party to Sam J. Tilden, the greatest champion of any age, place or time, of free insti- tutions, in whose person, as if by fel- on's blow, the liberty of every Ameri- can citizen was struck down, outrag- ed at home and disgraced abroad, merited defeat. For such ingrat- itude defeat was modest "etribution. Besides, being without leader, discord among ourselves over litte prejudices and rivalry that had grown up at home among our public men, the party stag gered along making blunder after blum der. The foregoing are the causes of defeat in 1880, and not because we did not have the strength. We had no unanimity in the party, no accepted leader; were it not that at the bottom of the democratic party there lie great and fundamental principles it would have been dashed to pieces long ago. This country is naturally democratic. The hour has never dawned on 1t when everything being equal that it did not have democratic majority. Its in- depreciation of the constitution is the only one consistent with civil and po- litical liberty. It is destined to control the fortunes and destiny of this gov ernment. The republican party is per- fectly inimical to constitutional liberty.
 If unanlmity is restored the next time the two great parties measure their strength on n national field, the republisan party will knock at the gate of the <home of the lost"

Mrs. Nancy Harman, of Mansfield, O.. writes: Il have been under the care of physician during the past seven years. Sometimes I would feel better, and then again 1 would feel worse, The past two years nothing seemed to help me. About two months ago my doctor seemed to be getting discouraged, and l lay completely bed ridden. I grew very nervous: the least noise gave mo great irritation. The doctor, sup pose more to get me off his hands than anything else, as he said 1 would never leave my bed, told me I might Try Browns Iron Btters, at the same time remarking, 1t was good tonic, and would help to keep me alive l have used the remedy about two months, and have been out of bed nearly two weeks, and now help about the house.

the New York Herald and q few oth-
 CT journals, accompanied! by fierce
 editorial condemnation and ridieule.
 Recently the Herald has been
 making itself merry over Clerk
 Adams account for the last Con
 gress, assuming to regard the pur- chase of opera glasses. knives, and such articles for members of Con- gress out of the contingent fund as a great National shame. But really there is nothing very bad about it. Every member is allowed $l25 per year for stationery and newspapers. As matter of convenience a station cry room. where members can sup ply themselves with everything Tn this line, is kept for each House, and every member has an account l there, but no one can exceed the amount of his allowancc-$l25. 1n- stead of stationery and newspapers, opera glasses and fancy articles are often purchased out of this allowance as they are supplied at wholesale rates by the clerk, but that sum of Sl25 is as much a part of the mem
 ber's pay as his salary, and he can use it as he chooses. II at the end of the year there is balance in bis fayor with the stationery keeper, the member is entitled to draw it in cash. But the account of the mem- Der with the stationery keeper does not represent, by any means, his ex- penditul es for stationery and news papers. There are very few mem
 bers of either House who do not eX- pend more than their allowance every year for newspapers and stationery.
 Some of the testimony lately taken before the Senate committee investi- gating the Treasury contingent fund is said to be unusually interesting. The committee sits with closed doors and there is difficulty in get ting the exact facts, but if reports are correct exCustodian Pitney has been giving testimony right to the point. 1t is said that he presented letters signed by Senator sherman, ordered him to send the carpenters and upholsterers there, who have testified that they, though carried on the treasury rolls, worked at the pri- vate residence of Senator Sherman. It will be remembered that when Mir. Sherman testified before the committee he sad the work alleged was not done on his private resi- dence. It is also stated that Mr. Pitnev gave thorough history of the formation of what is known as the Treasury ring, and of it's opera, tions, bringing in names that have never before been used in connect ion with the transactions. It is m, derstood that this testimony hasten ed the conclusion at winch Secreta- ry Folger has arrived, and is the req son why he has decided on such a complete shaking up in his depart ment. PHoNo.
