PINE BLUFF, ARK.
lsPRc1AL TO rHH APPEAL.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, August 30.-For
two weeks the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis have been wrangling over the
office Of County Treasurer, bad blood
and the worst passions were aroused
and prospect OF bloodshed was inn
minent. A solution OF the difficulties
was reached today by mass conven-
ton OF both parties with the Hon.
John A. Williams, Circuit Judge, a
Republican, in the chair. The whole
matter was discussed dispsssionately
on the part of the Republicans by Col.
Jno. M. Clayton, present Sheriff, and
and Ferd Havis, Circuit Clerk, and
Gems. H. King White aud Cole and
W. Z. Hemingway on the part OF the
Democrats. The question was then
put to the Republicans whether they
would concede the treasurer to the
Democrats and it was carried. A reso-
luton was then passed that both par
ties support the following ticket:
The offices of Sheriff, County Judge,
Circuit Clerk and three Represents
tives for the Republicans, and the of
fees of County Clerk, Treasurer and
Assessor for the Democrats. This &C.
ton secures a peaceful election.

SAN ANTONIO, August 4-About half past one
this morning the clerks at the Hotel Maverick were
startled to see flames issue suddenly from the win
dows of the literary hall, opposite the hotel, and
which has recently been occupied as a fruit ware
house by MIR. G.. NJ. Aiken.
AD alarm was was given, but before the fire de-
partment was lie to arrive, the building was
wrapped in flames, and the efforts of
the department were chiefly directed to
prevent the spread of the fire to other buildings.
The building was completely Quilted. 1t was the
property of the Kampmann estate, and not covered
by insurance. Mr.. Aiken's stock of fruit was
insured for $4,000. Mr.. Aiken this morning said
that he was of the opinion the of the fire
due to incendiarism, there was inflammable
material on the premises and there had been no
fire at all in the building. Kampman's loss on the
building is $4,000.

collected near it, whom he supposed to
 be friends or acquaintances using his
 quarters for rest and refreshmeht during
 his absence. When within about one
 hundred yards of the ranch, others came
 out of the house and joined those on the
 outside. when the entire party, number
 ing some eight or ten, as we are inform
 ed opened fire upon him and mounting
 their horses started for him. Mir. Blas-
 singame possessed no arms, except his
 pistol, and as his enemies were in such
 numbers and armed with Winchester
 rifles, prudence dictated an immediate
 retreat. The parties, who proved to be
 Mexicans, pursued him for distance of
 about eight miles, shooting at him
 whenever the opportunity offered. He
 finally reached the ranch of Joe Woods, where the chase was abandoned. MT. Blassingame was not sufficiently near his assailants to identify any of them, and as he facetiously states it, "the time was too limited and business too pressing to stop and take pictures" NIT. Blassingame has no animosities which could lead to or provoke such an outrage, and he is at loss to account 1 for the attempt to take his life. unless it | results from the wanton promptings of wretches, "without the fear of God, and instigated by the devil" There are rumors in St. Johns that a ] camp was fired into and some sheep killed few days ago, about twelve miles from Snowflake, and that the attack upon Blassingame was an act of retaliation. We have been unable to find any respectable authority for the truth of this story, and none of the prominent sheep men know any thing about it. No one in this community be- lieves a word of the nonsense, and only regard it as lame and manufactured excuse to serve as pretext and apology ior crime attempted in wilful, delibe- rate and wanton malice. If there are laws in this county, men should be made to respect them or summarily brought to justice and made to suffer the penal ties for their violation.

A Real Necessity.

We presume there is hardly lady to be found in our broad land who, if she does not already possess sewing ma chine, expects some day to become the owner of one.
 But after the mind has been fully made up to purchase one of these indis- pensable articles, tho question arises as to what kind of machine to buy.
 It should be so simply constructed that the most inexperienced can suc- cessfully operate it. The other points mainly to be considered, and which are the most desirable, are durability, ra- pidity. capacity for work, ease of opera ton, regularity of motion, uniformity of tension, and silence while in operation.
 The Light Running New Home" fills the above requirements, and is said to combine the good points of all sewing machines, with the addition of many new improvements and labor-saving de- vices.
 The price is no higher than that of other machines, and every lady who is the happy possessor of one may rest as- sured she has indeed treasure. See advertisement.

St. George Creaghe, County Treasur- CT, has quite handsome sum of taxes collected and is anxious to devote the same to taking up county warrants, but the safe is still locked against him, and the records in the hands of Dionicio Baca, the old Treasurer. The warrants must be paid seriatim in the order they are recorded, and it is impossible to as- certain the facts, without access to the records. In the meantime the interest continues to accumulate upon these warrants, and the burden of debt goes on heaPng up on the taxpayers. This state of affairs is unfortunate and to be regretted, and it is to be hoped that in- demnity may be given the county, un- less official bonds can dety the suprem- scy of law with the same impunity that tn principals upon them do.

We learn that the local freight rates upon the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad will be advanced after the first of Jan- uary. Our informant, who had received official notification, stated that after the date named, the rate from Albuquerque would be $1.20, $l36 and $1 5S, accord ing to class. It is beginning 10 be a debatable question whether or not it would be profitable business to allow the railroad to claim and sell freight for charges. The buyer would certainly lose but little on the purchase price. -

The wonderful intelligence of Henry Banta's dog, which was recorded in the columns of the HERALD several weeks ago, has set the rival tongues Of canine owners to wagging. An attache of the HERALD office, who is the owner of a large, unusually intelligent animal, re- lates that his dog chased chipmunk into hollow piece of timber, and after vainly endeavoring to get the little crea- ture from its hiding place, he deliberate ly took the piece of timber in his mouth and carried it to a'stream of water near by, and after placing it in the stream submerged it with his feet, until the chipmunk was compelled to run out, when he caught and killed it. The gen. tlem2n also vouches for the following exhibition of apologetic intelligence by the same dog, He says that Mexican came to his ranch on |: certain occasion, and the dog made a vicious attack upon him, tearing out large fragment from the rear Of his unmentlonables. The dog was called of, Quieted and severely seolded for his want of hospitality, which caused him to crawl off to his kennel in shame and modification. Af- ter the Mexican had retired the dog came in, took in his mouth q needle and thread sticking ill the wall. gathered up the dilapidated pants, together 1ith the torn fragment, and carried them all to his master, and then quietly took his seat and awaited the repair of the gar ment, that he might restore them to the place he had found them. We heiieve It will be difficult to cite an if1stzzce5 more remarkable courteous Intelligence.
