PRIMARY ELECTION.
Call by the Democratic Ex'
ccutiVc Committee Of
Mississippi County.

OscEoLA, ARK, Aug. 10, 1882.
AT a meeting of the Democratic
County Executive Committee of Mis-
sissippi County, held at the Office OF
DIR. III. c. Dunayant, in the Town OF
Osccola, on the 10Th day of August
1882, the following proceedings were

OF the Cabinet, as | have said, was
the confirmation Of the naughty poll
cy attributed to NJ. Gambetta, 1t is
we'll known that the composition Of
his Cabinet is one Of refusal to all
the men of mark, who found that
Office was offered them, not with the
power of discussing a programme and
having Il voice in the choice of their
colleagues, but with the obligation
OF accepting in advance a policy
which he diSdained to formulate and
colleagues whose names wereuhknown
10 them. This is why no man Of ,eal
weight figures in a Cabinet which on
every occasion disappears behind IFS
chief absorbing personality
So much for the Ministerial policy
during the short period behind us,
and on turning to the future misgiv-
ings cannot but force then selves on
every mind. Nothing definite is
known Of the general programme,
and the only thing really discernihIe
explains the apprehen>ions entertain
ed, IL his Tours speech VI. Gambet.
tn, by giving revision as the watch
word, has let loose a sto5m whose
ultimate consequences neither him
self nor anybody else can t%oresee.
People might resign themselves, in
deed, to a modification in Senatorial
elections, especially as the Republic
cans can justly say that the present
system was devised by the Reaction
aries, but it was seen from the first
that the object Uas the virtual aboli
ton of(he Senate by lis beng forbid
den to amend money Bills. What
ever the formula adopted, the Senate,
once deprived of a voice on the Bud
get, will cease to exist. The Intran-
sigeants, pushing the thing to its Iogl-
cal conclu ion, are already imposing
on the Senatorial candidates a pure
and simple abolition of the Senate.
The French Senate mist not be
Judged by the Upper Houses of other
countries. 1t represents no privileges
OF blrth'or property, but issues from
universal suff, age, and is placed
alongside The executive to guard
against the vagaries OF a single omn;-
potent Chamber. The purpose it
serves disappears with its influence
on the Budget. Without a sole check
on the will of the Chan btr, it
becomes an embarrassment and an
excresence, offering an easy prey to
revolulionists. There is an idea,
indeed, of allowing it to send pack
to the Chamber a vote it di>approved,
but Of giving the { hamber the last
word. This would be the worst Of
solutions, simply making the Senate
delay a vote without the power Of
vetoing it. Thus the revision, how
ever much toned down, leads France
towards the revolutionary idea of a
single Chamber, and thus the inevi.
table ascendency of the Extremist
view in any such body paves the way
for the constant agitation fatal to
any country.
9 If it be asked why NJ. Gambetta
has let loose this dangerous scheme
of revision, the cause will be found
in his obstinate determination to OBJ
tain Scratin de HSte. At the time of
;+s ruiaotion ;ndapd ho coid +o those
