the purpose of considering the question OF
issuing bonds for the sum of Slj0, ,OOO when
the road bed is completed the railroad com
pany on receipt of the bonds, to award the
county of Harrison certificates OF stock TO

measure was argued by Hon. Benz. Wilson,
Mai. A. e. Moore and Judge Camden on
the part of issuing the bonds, and Hon. Jno.
J. Davis and Judge Harrison against the
same. The grounds were hotly contested,
and although the argument was several
times supposed TO be concluded, however it
was reopened by the opponents to the sub
scription and as a matter of course re-
sponded to by the advocates for issuing the
bonds. Col Benz. Wilson concluded the
argument in an eloquent speech, sustaining
his well established reputation as II consti-
tutional laAyer.

Under Foot Long Enough.
The colored man has been under foot long
enough. The day of his deliverance was at
,Sand, when he should enter into the posses
sion of the promised land. They should
watch and wait, and look for signs which
would precede his coming. Within the past
week the pretensions of this man have pass
ed all belief He has boldly declared him
self to be the Messiah whose coming has
been foretold from the beginning, His de-
luded followers have eagerly assented to
this claim and speak of him as the veritable
Christ. A gentleman who just arrived
from one of the haunts Of
the impostor, declares that his dupeS
worship him, ami that he has forgiven the
sins of large number being quite lavish
in his clemency He exhibits scars which
he pretcnds are the marks Of the wounds III
his hands and feet and the spear wound in
his side. He has evidently used an instru-
mcmt upon himself so as TO SECURE the marks

following, are shy Of all inquirers, and al

imroster is mnatic or knave IS hard TO

from the South show mp strong for Arthur,
the tactics Of the Blaine men to capture

Blaine managers appear very panicky and
show evident signs Of distress. They are
alrcady talking Of fixing on definite sec
pnd choice. so as to he ready to control the
nomination should Arthur show up with
more votes than Blaine on the first ballot,
or with not many votes behind him. They
seem to be wavcring between Senators
