The Situation Improving.

Viee-president and general manager Malott,
of the Union Railway Company, is confident that
within the next thirty days all roads outside of
the Union Railway Company will become mem
bers, the c., H. & I, not excepted. The fact is
that neither the Wabash, the L., N. A. & c., nor
the c., H. & l. can afford to be outsiders. So
fair is the reorganization plan proposed by the
Union Railway Company that no man can justly,
after investigation. object. All agree that the
wheelage basis is the proper method of charging
for track service, and all there is above this is
the payment of I per cent. per annum interest
on the Union railway property, as appraised by
nine competent men. Unquestionably in the
past the leasing lines have been securing ter
minal accommodations at a very low figure. Not
only have they had the privilege of occupying
the Union Depot and running into the heart of
the city over the Union tracks. but they have, as
well, been able, through the Union tracks
and the Belt road, to connect with all roads CEN
tering here and to reach manufacturing estab-
liShments, lumber and coal grounds. etc, over
1I2 private switches. Not in another city in the
Union have so great facilities been given On SO
favorable terms.
The West END of the t., c. g. st. L. PrOba-
bly, To Be Put to Good Use.
The bondholders of the Toledo, Cincinnati &
St Louis road, western division, meet in Boston
to-day for conference with Austin Corbin, whose
plan for a reorganization they viii consider.
President Corbin's plan for the reorganization of
the St. Louis division of the T.,C & st. L. Rail
road Company contemplates, ii is understood.
the operation of the line in connection with the
Indiana, Bloomington & Western road, for which
it would form "a most excellent st. Louis outlet.
Tho project the details of which are yet to be
completed, will not. it is said, require the ad-
vance of a dollar Of money by the present
security holders. The l.. II. e ". crosses the
T.. c. & st. L. at Yeedersburg, which is 2O4
miles east of ST. Louis, and it IS sixty five miles
from Indianapolis to Veedersburg, which would
make the distance from Indianapolis to st. Louis
diauapolis & st. Louis, and $40 by the Vandalia.
The l., B. & W. now works its business in con
nection with the Wabash. via DanYiIie, and its
present st. Louis route is 277 miles.

DOUGLASS WILL BE THERE

The following. letter to G S

explanatory.
Dear Sir-I am very much
obliged for your note aud explain
atory letter. You have been ems
tirely misinformed as to my atti-
tude towards tic riu,enuIS UUu-
ference, 1 am heartily in favor OF
it. L expected to attend it's first
and last meeting. Now as always,
1 am for any movement when
ever and wherever there is a good
cause to promote, a right to assert,
a chain to be broken, burden to
be removed, or a wrong to be re-
dressed.
The Pittsburg conference, if
wisely and bravely conducted,
will do good, and that in q large
measure. You will have the main
burden to bear. l cannot be to
1T what 1 was to the Louisville
convention, and don't want to be.

IN your army. ours truly.
Frederick DOUGLASS.
Mr.. Douglass mas not yet retir-
ed to private life but will begin
now on the lower seat and when
all the excitement is over and the
people will have forgotten the
color of his wife, he will slip to
the front again. For our part we
accept his apology and believe
that he only exercised the con-
stitutional rights of a free Amer
lean citizen by taking to wife the
lady he loved best, and as soon as
we understand what Mr. Douglass
meant when he said that he was
no negro, then we will be able to
pass upon that part of the charge
made against them.

JUDGE S. L. GRIFFITH:

Brother Dell of the Fort Smith
New Era, has this to say about
our worthy fellow townsman and
city judge, Col. Samuel l.. Grif-
fifth.
For many years before the war
the leading merchant Of western
Arkansas, and our neighbor after
wards of Little Rock and now po>
lice judge of our capital. One Of
the best men of the state, a Union
man to the backbone, and offered
by President Lincoln the Super
intendency of Southern Indian
Affairs in 1861. 1t was he who
furnished the New Era with the
paper for it's first issue in 1868,
which was printed on the back of
"Washington's Farewell Ad-
DRESS" circulated in 1861 to coun
teract the secession movement.
Colonel Griffith an old line whig
and Union man once, is now q
democrat, driven to it by the car
petbag republicans, and is chair
man of the democratic state cen
trail committee, a position which
shows that even the Arkansas
democrats are not what they used
to be and which selection does
| them great honor.
There are many others on our
list, who commenced with the
first number in 1868. but inter
mitted for awhile and many more
whose term of subscription ex.
tends ten OR fifteen years back.
There are not many papers in the
state that can make such an ex-
hibit.
AS a suitable acknowledgment
to those time honored friends and
patrons of the New Era, we pro
pose to give to each of them a
photo photographic copy, execut-
ed last fall in New York at a
large expense, of the we'll known
picture of "Arkansas, as Imagln-
ed Abroad. and Found at Home,' u
drawn by the editors wife. Those
living abroad will have it sent by
mail we'll secured. Those in
town will please call at the office
for it.

Mr. w A Monroe, Of Newport,
jackson county, is one among
the honest defeated candidates OF
1882, he says, "Send me your bill,
you shall have your money. AS
it will be remembered by those
that read the Mansion then, that
we undertook the task of carry
ing the republican party through
the campaign, taking them all for
honest men we inserted their
announcements and sent them
their bills at rates as published in
our columns. Several responded
and said that they would remit,
but all the cash remitted to US
was $50, ten from Mr. A A Tufta
of Camden and ten from Judge c
Z Redmond, who was rusticating
at Lucas Valley, n Y, at the
time and $50 at different times
from IL NJ Cooper, secretary OF
the state central committee. We
don't want it to be 30 this time.
While we are patriotic patriotism
don't foot the printers bills.
Those yet in arrears and expect
to present themselves for public
favor will certainly not ask ua
to trust them again, but II
they are honest they will remit
forthwith their $40 for last and
be ready to commence for victory

A Louisiana paper. which sup

cludes its ethical homi'y as fol-

How long is such state OF
affairs to be permitted to exist,
aud what lesson does it teach the
public? Does it not teach us that
the average negro politician is un-
true and unworthy of any trust
reposed in him and therefore in
capable OF self government? We
feel the necessity, as a public
journalist, to call the attention of
the Judge of this district to this
matter go that it may be brought
to the notice of our next grand
jury, to the end that the iegisla-
ture, at it's next session, may pass
such laws that will completely
abolish such practices forever. =
