EX-SENATOR B. X. BRUCE.

The big Man," whose autograph must
be attached to every dollar OF the United
States currency, to make it valid, is q col
ored man, viz: B. X. Bruce. Last Tuesday
he telegraphed Judge Gibbs that he would
leave Washington, d. c., for Hot Springs,
Ark, via St. Louis. The Judge thought
Mr.. Bruce would travel on q continuous
trip, and supposed the distinguished visi-
tor would arrive here Thursday night, but
on his arrival at st. Louis and in the act OF
leaving he was informed that he would
pass Little Rock at night, hence he laid
over Wednesday and was drove around the
city, his old home, accompanied by a large
number of old friends, and taken Thursd Az
evenings train, arriving at Little Rock on
Friday at 1910 p. M, where he was met by
his old friend, Judge M. w. Gibbs, and .
E. Rector, Robert Jones, Prof. J. G. Ish,
the Editor of the Mansion. and others.
After being introduced to many persona,
white and colored, who appeared anxious
to make his acquaintance. he took his seat
in the parlor car, accompanied by Judge
Gibbs, who is to spend a few days with
Register Bruce at the Springs.
At this time we presented ourself and
was again introduced by Judge Gibbs.
While shaking his hand we asked the Sena-
tor if he thought he knew us, now that we
had been for long time trying to make
him know who we we were. The Senator
smilins'y answered: eyes, 1 always anX.
iOusly await the Mansion. to see what il
has to say about the big Man." Bruce
the Senator said, "he enjoyed the fun al
we'll as Brother Simkens, but, however,
will know Brother Simkens hereafter and
will visit Little Rock on my return and
give YOU calI,''

jeff Davis IN a recent al ddress
delivered before the Mississippi
legislature, said among other
things: 81 have been reproached
for not asking pardon of the
government of the United States.
Pardon comes after repentance.
1 have not yet repented. My ac-
tlons would be those of the past
under the same circumstances -
The same old rebel still, and this
sentiment will be endorsed by
nine tenths of the bourbons OF
the south. So long as these senti.
ments prevail throughout the
south, by the old confederate
leaders, they should not reproach
the Haunting of the "bloody
shirt by those who were loyal to
the Union and the Constitution
nor plead the status of limita-
tions upon their disloyalty, treat
ing "by cones as by gones.'

The Morrillton Headlight is
disposed to treat the candidacy
of the Hon j 3 Judkins for tn e
governorship, with sort of su-
percilious derision. Intimating
that Judge Judkins is rather too
obscure a parsonage to aspire to
such an exalted position as that
of governor to the great state of
"Arkansaw." Judge Judkins OBJ
security is most likely due to the
opacity of the Headlight. TO the
people of Arkansas he has not
only been prominently visible In
unearthing great democratic
steal, but his public acts and hon>
est and intelligent participation
in public affairs has greatly en-
deared him to the fair minded
citizens. No he isn't your style
of politician. He hasn't s
"wah hoss" record, nor has he
been accused OF plundering the
public treasury.

COUNTY REFORM.

Some of our county Offices
are becoming so lucrative that
they are tempting men of high
standing, gentlemen holding Off
ces of high trust, also those with
good honorable paying federal
positions, to get down from their
high and honorable pedestals to
become candidates for county
officers, men of whom it was
never suspected that they could
even for a moment tolerate the
idea, much less accept the alter
native of going down into the
siulns or PVf--l-aAh uchery and
be found working with the rabble
to secure a mere county Office.
We shall ere long be compelled to
put our county officials upon a
fair living salary, in order to se-
cure honest competent men for
those POSITIONS. Inere Is TOO
much money in them now, they
are sore temptation to good men
and a source of great political de-
bauchery to dishonest politicians
There is also great reform need
ed in our schedule of fee bills,
they are in many instances toe
liberal aud in others 50 indefi'
mite that the language of the
law is taken advantage of and
costs are taxed up to unfortunate
litigants, or delinquent tax pay
ers, which were never contem.
plated ty our legislators. =.
In short, a radical reform is
needed. reform is necessary

THE CROP MORTGAGE.

1t is again the season of the
year when the crop mortgage will
begin to make it's appearance and
gradually extend its hard blight
ing influence over the industry
and hard living of the crop
per. The landholders supply de-
partment, will again be open to
swallow up the earnings of the
laborer, where all of the ac-
counts will be entered in the most
elaborate and complete manner,
and duly arranged in such a way
as to wipe out all the margin in
favor of the cropper at the end OF
the farming season.
The cropper will as usual, in
most instances, go on ordering
supplies, ETC., keeping no account
of the same, until the end of the
farming season, when he will be
confronted with his account and
find as usual greatly to his sur
prise and chagrin, that he is in
debt to his landlord with nothing
to show for the labor of himself
and family tor the past season. or
means whereof he and his family
are to be fed and clothed, until the
return Of the next farming season.
To say that this is a hardship,
is to use a cant phrase, drawing
1t mild. 1t is not only a great
hardship, but it is disheartening
and damaging in the extreme,
and it has often, too often we fear,
compelled good, honest industrl-
Gus men and women to resort to
means for obtaining the necessa-
ries of life regardless of the strict
preprieties which the law impo-
ses.
There is, we presume, no ques-
tion, but that in many insta"o~-
the cropper is greatly imposed
upon and often sEamelessly swin>
died and cheated by reason of his
entire ignorance of business meth
ods, or the manner in which ac-
counts are kept by the landlord.
TO obviate this in some degree
we would suggest to the tenant
that he supply himself with a
blank "pass" or account book,
and that hs rnder no circumstan-
ces, receive from his landlord any
supplies or money that is not en-
tered in this book, with date of
receiving the amount and kind of
article furnished with the p:ice
therot of every article so furnish
ed, and that at the end of each
month he have his account book
examined by some honest COM
petcnt person in order to test the
accuracy of the same, and that
al similar transactions be 80 kept.
This will enable the uneducated
to acquire business habits, know
certainly the condition of his af-
fairs at all times.

JOHN A. LOGAN.
Acknowledged to be the Strong.
est Candidate in the Field by
a Paper that Has Been
Fighting Him for
Years.

There can no longer be any
question that General Logan is a
formidable candidate for the Pres
idential nomination at the hands
of the Chicago convention, and
many circumstances combine to
make him the most formld able
am ong those who are recognized
as candidates. The presidential
conditions this year are peculiar
No prominent man is systematl-
cally working up a boom. Blaine
is silent. Grant is not in the
fed, but has openly declared
himself in favor of Logan's nom
nation. General Sherman. is am
phatic in the assertion that be
would not accept the nomination
under any circumstances. There
is some difference of opinion as to
whether or not Arthur is making
any effert to organize the Ad-
ministration office holders III his
behalf, but if he is doing 80 the
results are not yet apparent. And
Logan, though regarded as a
candidate, has given no sign OF
active personal esdeavor, and re-
ceives his first decided encour-
agement from the representative
men of his own state, which is
just where itought to come from.
The sentiment of the recent Chi
cago meeting was singularly spon-
taneous md unanimous, and ii

MANIPULATION

A correspondent of one of the
leading republican journals down
east, writing from information
and Impressions gathered while
making a tour of the southern
states, has in substance, this to say
of the system of "Bossism" as
practiced by the gentlemen who
are holding positions of trust un-
der the government. The entire
machinery of the republican party
of the south is completely in the
hands of or under the control of
the Federal officials. Every men,
Der or nearly 50, of the state CEN
trail committees are Federal offic-
ials. All of the state and county
conventions are duly "caucused"
preceding the assembling of the
same, where tickets are presented
to the convention duly "cut and
dried" for the action of those
bodies profound-the delegates to
the convention meantime having
been duly impressed with the
fact that they are expected to
ratify the same nelens volens, or
incur the ire of these self-consti
tuted political autocrats.
That the whole south is now
duly "set up' by these same
officials, and their delegates to the
ensuing National Republican con-
vention decided upon by these
secret conclaves of which the peo-
pie, the masses of the republican
votes know nothing of, nor will
they be able to ascertain until the
ucase is duly promulgated at the
assembling of the state or district
conventions, when it is expected
that the whole pill-a regular old
style alopathic one-will be swal-
'n,Hnd at one gulph by the pen
sive delegates. -
The same may be said of the
manner in which vacancies occur
ring in Federal Offices are filled
The whole responsibility is as
sumed by these same officials.
They meet under a call for the
assembling OF the state central
committee and there with closed
doors canvass the merits of such
gentlemen as it is thought would
be useful as ring manipulators-
some one of whom are duly selec-
ted, indorsed by the committee
and then duly credentialed-this
famed individual departs tor the
National Capitol reasonably cer-
tain that his position is assured.
No operson ofany political stand
ing or reputation in the state dare
more than offer Il mild protest,
and this is usually done in "bated
breath" the protestor well know
ing that in so doing he incurs the
lasting hostility of the Sanhedrom
who are able to squelch all such
malcontents ut a single blow aud
forever damn all future political
aspirations Oh his part
This is rather a broad accusa-
ton. That there are several large
grains of truth contained in the
same we are not prone to deny:
and as it is not our funeral we do
not propose to go into mourning
or ask some one to tread upon our
coat tail, as a small pretext for
rushing into print by way Of res
talliation.
