How do you like that?' And thus leaving the old man in the negrO's place, closes the penitentiary door upon him for two years, as just and full vindication of negro supremacy. be fore the law '" That is. the case being reverse" "--or some how so. And such is Arkansas Democracy, at this the eleventh hour; which proves that this is to be white man Gov crnment under Democratic rule that is to say. is to be ruled by ne- groes under Democratic dictatlon. Meantime. the Republican National leaders are paying rewards for the negro testimony which thus conslgns poor white men to ''chains and slav- cry" upon election law technicall- ties. And such is the kettle of political fish upon which decent native South ern white Republicans are brought to feed or starye-decent Southern white men of all parties; and the more they feed upon such stuff the more they starve-the more they crave something decent and cleanly from the political ilesh-pots of their forefathcrs. And they will have 1t.
 But by the way, we have not heard that this negro, who became scared into fits by an old jolly halt-drunken white man standing around oh elec- ton day with an old pistol thrown across his shoulder, in an old leath-
 ern scabbard-perhaps of similar
 piece to that about the loins' of John the Baptist, as he wandered through the wilderness of Judea on hunt of locusts and wild honey-we say. that we have not heard that this chivalrous darkey who thus so readily hunted his hole when q little one horse pluck was in demand, but who
 ''at a more convenient season, came out and swore thls old man into the penitentiary for two years, has been paid anything for it out of the Ma
 tional Reward Fund.-" Surely, if that other brave darkey got S25O for
 swearing another fellow into fine of $500, this one, who sent "Old Man
 Darden" to the Penitentiary for two years, and who Is so lauded for the act by Democratic sheets, should have at least $500. "Tote fair, gen tlcmen, with these negro ''pimps and panderers'--these wards of the Ma tion =
 Meanwhile, we shall try to "tote fair with the white man, also; and if the test must come as between the races, as it seems it must since the Government, or at least the leaders of one great political party having the Government ill charge, have un- dertakcn to set the blacks upon the whites through the medium of the Courts by means of special bribes
 and rewards. as hissed on and justi- fled by the press of another great political party when this test comes,
 we say for oursclf, as Abraham Lin
 cO.u once said of himself in like con ncction, that when it comes to di-
 rect contest between the negro and the white man, we shall be found squarely with our own race.
 And especially in a contest like this which seems thus to be waking up
 in the politics of the present time ; destitute white mothers and daughters working in the fields in many instan- ccS to save themselves from famlsh- ing. and being taxed ad valorem on every remnant of valuation they have in the world to educate lousy pcsti- lential gamins in idleness and mpu- dence, while the fathers of these imps are prowling about, mixing in vicious politics, and thus getting themselves into trouble, and then going into the Courts and swearing the kindren and blood of these poor toiling white mothers and their daughters into the pcnitentiary, and receiving therefor special bonus and stipend from American statesmen.
 Excuse Us, if you please, Nor put in the plea that "Blackburn is going back on the negro" for to say so would be to beg the question and lie like q suck-egg dog, unless to vindi- cate the white man may be called going back on the negro in which event count us in, as full hand and always loadcd,-[Little Rock Republican.
 We most heartily commend and endorse all of the above. It takes true grit for a straight republican in National politics, to thus denouncc bribery and corruption on the part
