More Railroads.

In the Gazette of Sunday appear ed the following railroad news:
 The Iron Mountain on yesterday filed the certificate and map of an other branch road in the office of the secretary of state. This branch is to be built from Beebe, White coun ty, to Fort Smith, distance of 160 miles, running through the counties of White, Faulkner, Perry, Yell, Logan and Sebastian. It will run west from Beebe to Conway, where 1t crosses the Little Rock and Fort smith railway, thence southwest to the Arkansas river, where the stream will be bridged, thence up the valley of the Fourche La Fave through Perry county to the Yell county line, thence northwest Tn Yell county to the Petit Jean, and up that stream and it's tributarles across both Yell and Logan counties to the Sebastian county line, thence northwest across Vache Grasse river and Massard creek to Fort Smith. The country through winch it is proposed to build this road is one of almost unparal- leled richness of soil.

TIE greenback candidate for quo

TIE greenback candidate for aud itor, Capt. II. P Barry, of Yell coun- ty, is actively engaged in the can. vass, and will visit every portion of the state distributing his address. We have known Capt. Barry for sev- eral years, and can conscientiously say that as citizen, friend and neighbor he is true in all the rela- tions pertaining thereto, but we can not say as much of his politics. Capt. Barry comes from some of the best families of South Carolina, and his ancestors were ever found, as he now claims to be, battling for the best interests of the people. But the democratic party of Arkansas fails to see wherein the party to which our friend belongs is going to bring the relief sought, We confident ly predict that Capt. Barry and the entire grecnback ticket will be bu- ried beyond all hope of a resurrec- tion at the election in September. The grcenback idea is a wrong one as a distinctive party issue, or, rath- CT, the fiat doctrine, as advocated by that party, and we regret to see dem ocrats who possessed such influence as Capt. Barry go off after strange gods. If, however, greenbacker should unfortunately be elected, of which we predict there is now no apparent danger, we know of no one of that party better fitted for the DO sition he seeks than Capt. Barry, The democrats of Pope county can not be caught with greenback chafi,

ARABI ROUTED.

Advices from Egypt, dated Alex andria, August ,, 1l:30 p. m., fur nish the following interesting news
 The object of the operations today was q reconnaissance in force. Com mencing at o'clock this afternoon, q steady advance was made, the marines upon the railway line, the rifles upon the west bank of the Ma homoudich canal and the South Staff fordshire regiment and mounted in fantry upon the east bank. The enemy was driven in from all their advanced posts, and compelled to bring into action all their troops available in front of their principal line of entrenchments at Kafrel Dwar, namely, about four battallions of infantry, force of cavalry and several guns. The latter were com pletel y silenced by the accurate fire of our forty pounder. The Egypti- an infantry held their ground with considerable steadiness. The ma rines on the railway who were under the immediate command of Gen. Ali son, pushed the enemy back upon their second line of intrenchments toward Kafrel Dwar. The marines were supported by the South Staf- fordshire regiment and the rifles. They suffered somewhat, but behav- ed with the greatest coolness and steadiness under the heavy fire The object of the British operations, which was to compel the enemy to display what force and what guns they had in front, of the main posi- tions was completely attained. This was ascertained by nightfall, when the British were slowly and steadily withdrawn. No accurate returns of the killed and wounded is yet obtain able. The enemy's loss is unknown. A large number of wounded fell into the hands of the British. Many dead were seen. A considerable number of the enemy were made prisoners. The British lately made successful experiments with the forty pounder mentioned, while mounted on an ironclad railway truck.
 To the hour of going to press there had been no further demonstrations in Egypt between Arabi and the British troops.
 A late London dispatch says: It is rumored at St. Petersburg that Russia is making warlike prepara. tions at Odessa in view of the possi bility of complications between Turkey and England.

 Eureka Springs Republican: A company is being organized to sup ply the city with water for protec- tion from fire, and for other purposes. There is an abundant supply close at hand. This with the unrivalled water of our springs will make our city one of the most desirable any where to be found.

Smallpox in the Territory.

The Fort Smith New Era gives the following in regard to the prey alence of the smallpox in the Indian Territory:
 We learn from several U. s. Dep uty Marshals that the smallpox is raging fearfully in parts of ths Indi. an Territory, the disease exhibiting itself in It's most loathsome form. In some localities the ravages of the disease are absolutely horrible and great number of houses have been burned with all the contents.
 At Okmulgee cordon has been drawn around the town and no one can leave OF enter. Much mischief was done by bad vaccine matter and great numbers of people have been inoculated with loathsome diseases. The rayages arc mostly among the poor and filthy.

THE Denver Tribune says The following effusion is pretty good for Dakota orator; "No sharper, no bier, wide-awaker, straight-tobacco splitting, more enterprising, whole souled. generous, true-hearted and public-spirited men than ours ever left their stoga footprints on the golden sands of time. And no bright CT, dearer, lovelier creatures ever fitted through Oriental poets rapt- est dream of paradise than our bless ed dimity divinities, our home made calico seraphs, our patent inflatable- crinolined darlings, our Dakota sweethearts, wives, mothers-in-law and Mariannes, who are creation S special pets and brides, fitted to bear queenship in any realm"
 1.-the foregoing gushy bit of ora tory wasn't uttered by the inimita- ble Col. P. Donan, then it was "ora- ted' by some man who is trying to ape him.

HE state press is unit on the question ot equal taxation" and an equitable assessment" A re- cent issue of the Clark ksville Her aid says: "We are told that there are two pieces of property in this town, both corner lots, each having a like building, yet one is taxed just double the sum of the other-the one being taxed the least being, we think, the most valuable property" Although there is so much complaint, no oNe has, as yet, suggested remedy. To our mind it seems that the only way for the State to keep pace with the tax dodgers" is to establish county boards of equalization With prop CT restrictions such a board would very soon equalize such cases as that mentioned by the Herald

Yellow Fever.

A Special of the 5th from Laredo, Texas, to the St. Louis Republican says: !"
 The prevailing fever at Matamo- ras is reported to be increasing. Sev- en deaths occurred there today. There is no exact account of the total number of cases there, but it is reported to be between 300 and 400. The disease prevails among the higher classes as well as among the lower class. There has been 2 mum Der of deaths among the former Many of the stores are only open part of the day, which gives the city a very desolate appearance.
 There are now reported to be Tn all twenty cases of the fever in Brownsville, and all are doing we'll. The mayor of Laredo is to take ac- tive measures tomorrow towards a strict quarantine against the infect ed places, and the attempt will be made to induce Neuva Laredo to do the same, that communication be- tween the two places may not be in- terrupted.
 The Texas Mexican railroad off cials say that If the. fever goes to Corpus Christi they will stop the running of all trains.
 Everything is quiet at Rio Grande City. A strict quarantine is to be kept until all danger is over. About fifty cases are now existing, and in creasing rapidly. One death, a Ger man named Quasi, recently from Europe. Conflicting reports about the existence of the disease at coun- try points is not reliable.
 The fever continues to spread at Matamoras, but the number of new cases is not made public.
 At Brownsville, Texas, the fever has attacked the mayor and other notable citizens, the number of new cases on Monday being eighteen. Dr. Swearengen, state health officer of Texas, pronounces the disease to be genuine yellow fever.
 The cases of suspicious sick in quarantine at Galveston have devel. oped into yellow fever, with one death.

TIE river and harbor bill was re- turned to congress last week without the presidents signature, whereupon the house without ceremony passed the measure over the veto by vote of l22 yeas to 59 nays. It was then sent to the senate, which body dis posed of it in like short order by a vote of Il yeas to l6 nays. The bill has become law, notwithstanding the veto, and the West and South have proved themselves able to cope with the bondholders of the East, who seem disposed to oppose the ap- propriation of money for the improve ment of western rivers and harbors. Several eastern democrats voted against the bill.

pecuniary success.

Cor. Ed. A. Warren has retired from the editorial control of the Prescott Dispatch and is succeeded by Mir. J. Delahoyde. In the retire ment of Col. Warren, the craft leses one of it's worthiest members and Arkansas journalism one who has ever been in the front rank, and the DEMOCRAT hopes that abundant sue cess may attend him in the practice of his profession, the law. To Mir Delahoyde, the new editor, we extend cordial greeting and hearty wei come to the brotherhood. Mir Stu art Warren, son of Col. Warren, is local editor of the Dispatch, and is "chip off the old block" and a good one, too.

Joi'AAg VI | OpC SOuAU) gathered in large numbers at this place last Saturday to hear the dis cussion of the issues in the state canvass by Hon. J. II. Berry, demo- cratic candidate for governor and Maj. C. R. Breckenridge, democratic candidate for congressman at-large The last named gentleman failed however, to put in an appearance, having been called home by telegraph the day previous.
 At one o'clock, the large room on the first floor of the Masonic build ing was crowded with citizens from all parts of the county, each one eager to hear. Judge Berry was in troduced and his appearance on the platform was the signal for enthusi- astic applause, each one vieing with his neighbor in thus honoring the noble sor of Arkansas before them. Judge Berry spoke for some time and sustained himself to the satisfaction Of every democrat present, strength ening the faint hearted and waver- ing ones with convincing arguments. His arraignment of the republicans was one of the most scathing we ever listened to. He showed that the restoration of that party to power in Arkansas meant a revival of all the oppression and ills that the people endured from 1868 to 1874. The re lease of the railroads from liability for the railroad aid bonds was clear ly proved from the record by Judge Berry to be the work of the republi- can party, and not chargeable to the democrats as has been done. The speech of our standard bearer was full of the breathings of a patri- otic spirit that only yearns for the greatest good for the people of the State and Union, and fell with good effect upon the minds and hearts of his hearers, and the seed sown last Saturday will spring up and bring forth abundant fruit at the Septem- Der election in the choice of the en- tire democratic ticket by a rousing majority,
 At the conclusion of Judge Der ry's speech, Col. R. K. Garland the greenback candidate for governor, was introduced, and spoke for about an hour. As an advocate of the doc urine of greenbackism, Col Garland is one of the most effective in the party. He made several good points, but they were not of sufficient force to cause a democrat to waver in his belief in the great principles laid down by the fathers. We think Col. Garland is leading q forlorn hope,
 There is not doubt in the mind of every thinking man present at the meeting that Judge Berry had the advantage in the argument with his competitor, and the people will ren- der the verdict in his favor at the general election.

lT IS the intention of the manage ment of the DEMOCRAT to issue q mammoth edition on or about the first day of September in the inter est of trade and immigration. The merchants and citizens generally will be waited upon by DEMOCRAT solicitor to secure advertising favors and orders for extra copies of the paper. We hope the business men of Russellville will see the way clear to encourage this venture, as we con fldently believe the sending of q large portion of the edition to friends in the old states will tend to attract an immense tide of immigration to Pope county this fall and winter. The edition will contain such facts and figures as will clearly present a faithful word picture of the business and resources of the principal towns and the county to those who are seeking new homes. Orders for ex- tra copies must be sent in as early as the 1st prox., and advertising favors will be received up to 10 o'clock on the 9th. This will be golden opportunity to show up Pope county and the principal towns in their true light.
 Patrons of the DEMOCRAT in the old states, who desire extra copies of the great trade and immigration edi- tion we propose issuing on the 7th prox., will please send their orders on or before the lst day of Septem- Der. Notwithstanding the increased labor and expense attending the is suance of this edition, extra copies will be furnished at the low price of , cents each.
