The ScnatOrsIiip,

Below we give the language of the Press and Mercury, of Hemp stead county, on the Senatorship:
 We will support the gentleman who re- ceivcs the nomination, be he a Nevada coun- ty man of Hampstead county man, and believe the Picayune will do the same. The Democratic voters will be judges and so in tend to abide by their decision. We have done on this subject.-Washington Press.
 While not the party addressed we will take occasion at this junction to 'chip in V The attention of the Picayonne is called to the fact that the member from Hampstead and Nevada for the past term was Nevada county man, and while he was not the nom nee of the democratic party he receved a large majority of the votes of Nevada coun- ty. As to running rough-shed over thnt county, Hampstead has never evinced any such inclination At the convention held in Prescott prior to the meeting of tke Inst Sen s,orial convention, that county declined to make nomination and went to Washington uninstructed Under the circumstances we cannot see that either county has any spec ial claim to the nomination, and if you have man for the place Bro. Gardner, "trot him out, and "et the longest pole knock down the per,immon,"-H Mercury.
 Now, the PIcAYuNE began this discussion, claiming that Nevada was entitled to name the nominee of the Democratic party this year, as Hampstead has had it for two or three consecutive times hereto fore.
 The Press made light of our claims, saying the nominating con- ventio would settle that matter, etc., and we replied Nevada would not summit 10 Hempstead's having the nominee every timc-and would not be run oyer rongh.shod, as the Press seemed to think was her right. This paper lodges the question in the above sqnib, as it thinks adroitly. We hope the sen- sible democrats of Hampstead will understand Nevada's position.
 As to the Mercury's 'chip in," its attention is "called to the fact'' that the Democracy of this county did not support or elect the gen. tleman sent from this district, as he was a Greenbacker, and was elected by that party Glad to see the Mercury more conservative, and willing for Nevada to come in. There should not be :discord in this matter-only ''in union there is strength" as it will take that to elect a Democrat. Nevada has several capable and good men who are willing to run, if Hampstead will give us assurance that oul claims will be properly considered

 Mir. Garland's Vindicatian,

THE PICAYUNE has been one of many papers to condemn MT. Gar land for being connected with the Pan- Electric telephone company and number of severe articles criticising him has appeared in its columns.
 We have noticed the investiga. ton of the matter of Mir. Garlane's owning stock in this telephone company, how he came by it, etc and how it was suit has been
 brought against the Bell companp, its trial by the government, and now think MT. Garland was not SC
 mnch to blame in the matter as
 before. Yet there remains in our
 mind question as to his complete
 vindication, as many papers ac knowledge, inasmuch as Mir. Gar land in his testimony said he did not claim to have bought any tele- phone stock, nor yet was it exact ly given to him.
 Thursday we received a letter from Hon T c McRae in which he says Mir Garland has been hound. ed down by Rogers, the inventor, and others, in this telephone scan- dal, and that he is satisfied of MT. G's innocence and that he has committed no wrong in this matter. Mir McR. also sent us a late copy of the Washington Post, contain. ing an article completely exhon- orating Mir Garland. Below we give an extract from it:
 "So far as MT Gal land is con. cerned this investigation has re- suited in more than his mere yin dication. It has brought into the dearest light his high personal honor aud his strict sense of duty in regard to oflicil action and in. tiuence. It would have been in every way sufficient if the evidence had simply negatived the implied imputations; but it has done much more. 1t has brought the charac. ter of the Attorney General into positive aud bold relief. Not only has it been shown that he did not use any official power in the way which has been ipsinuated, but it has been clearly established that he was scrupulously careful to avoid whatever might impugn his integrity and that he refused even to make such references in the matter in question as might have been in every respect proper, lest his of6 cial position should be com- promised. Not only has he been "clear in his great ofiice," but he been honored his position by care ful-almost a punctilious-observ- ance of it's properties.
 We congratulate the Attorney General, the Administration and the country on the triumphant vim dication in which this investiga- ton has virtually resulted."- Washington Post.

 see in the Dispatch that the Greenbackers have a club at this place, but an investigation proves decidedly that the club has never met since the Hon. Mir. Garland organized the citizens into that body.
 There is not much said about the Clerks office. w. R. McLure is solid and there will certainly be nothing m Mir. McLure's ways that will prevent him marching trium- phantly over all foes.
 I hope the correspondents from the different portions will always give tho facts in regard to the Greenbacker's proceedings. So there will be no room for intimida- ton but rest assured, Boughton friend, that the clerk is forever dead at this place, and that I will continue my Packets with my friend Ansley.

In the authoritative communica- ton from Felix" of Pea Ridge last week, few startling facts (n are given to the public. "The free school law was made by the Re, publicans for the benefit of the ne- groes."!! Now, l will give you a few contra facts, Felix. The school law now existent is not the same law, by any means, which was in vogue under the Republican re- gime. That law was abrOgated by the Democratic administration. The present school law is entirely of Democratic origin. Again, for the sake of argument, suppose it had been passed by Republicans bad men of courseD for the purpose of educating the negroes bad object of courseD and afterwards it had been found by Democrats to be eff fectual in doing good, would it be the part of wise men to repeal the law. We should rise above such narrow views and welcome the good and the beneficial, no matter whence they spring. If

"Uneducated mind is educated vice, and education is the chief de- fense of NatiOns."-Burke.
 All citizens of a state are con trolled by the same laws. These laws are the outgrowth of the in- telligence of the citizens. Igno. rance on the pat of some neutra- lizes or abridges the liberty of oth CTS more intelligent. If you limit intelligence, you limit citizenship, inasmuch as the laws which pre-. scribe citizenship are the outcome of that limited intelligence. Thus we see that the individual interest must become the general interest, and that the benefits accruing to the masses of the people arc ''equalized upon the basis of equal obligation. Mere force without intelligence is blind. The degree or rank of any people in the scale of national renown is determined by its degree or rank ofintelligence. So with every community. It Is q fact well established that people csn never become really great without educating, and the more extensive and universal this edu- cation, the more lasting and great or the nation. An ignorant people aud therefore changeable, super stitious and suspicious, can only serve as galley slaves under oth- CTS who know only to depress.
 When the people think and act for themselves, there will, by force of necessity, by force of intellect ual attraction, by q knowledge of justice, freedom and liberty, be a power that will hold together po- litic' fabric as firmly and lastingly as that of gravitation does the body of this swinging orb,
 Ignorance has never been the foundation of a great government It Was truly said that 'it is the mother of crime;;" notwithstanding the awful assertion of the Duke of St. Simon, Il French ambassador to Spain, that "science is a crime and ignorance a virtue" We not only have the testimony of our great forefathers, as Webster, Mad ison, Clay, Jefferson and others, as 10 it's dangerous effects, but we have also the testimony of fallen nations. There is some truth in the words of another, that "it is treason against the government to permit n single capable child to grow up in ignorance" and I will add that it is treason against socie. ty and against your own child to permit other children to grow up without proper education. Our prosperity depends upon our schools. Multiply these and you multiply the genius of our people.

 Again, in making your attack, you.have censured the Democratic party. So, if it is so fraught with evil, the Democratic party is cul- pablo, and you should set to work to remedy affairs. Remember, the Democratic party has been tue GUS todian of that law for some time. You are Democrat, then you are partly responsible for that which you condemn. Come Felix, stand by yonr vote.
 Again, you say until we "drive them out of the country" we will not have "schools worth a Contl- mental" Now, Felix, think of the number and kind of schools you had in your community before you free schools. Again, remember it requires effort time thought and had experience to bring 10 approximate perfection any civil or natio nal measure. If you will study educa. tional statistics and literature, you will not be so bold to assert such things Tn the face of a reading pub lie. Grat"itous education by the state is more popular today than ever before, and the progress Is amazing. There was an epoch when free schools needed the pen and voice in their behalf. but l thought that time had about pass ed. The dark shadows of igno. rance and consequent sin and crime should be q fearful warning to the patriotic of our country "A popular government" says Madison, without popular infor- nation, or the means of acquiring it. is but a prologue to farce, or tragedy, or, perhaps, to both"
 We know that our schools are not fostcrcd and kept in session long enough. Every district which does not have more than a three. months school remains in a state of semi-inteloctual starvation, sc far as the children are concerned. But this is no argument against free schools. The free school ill such cases shoald be but comple ment of a good pay school, as it is in many places. 1 will give you 6 few more tacts next week, Felix This is now too long. do not think that Arkansas has the only free school system in the world Why, sir, they were inaugurAted over POO years ago. They are co. existent and1cO-extensive with OuI free institutions and our grand gov ernment of freedom. More anon.
