Should MT. Brecklnridge Re
 sign?


 Pine Bluff Press Eagle: It is be- ing urged by the St. Louis Globe Democrat, the Cincinnati Conner cial Gazette, and other ultra Repub- lican and South hating journals of the North, that Hon. Clifton K. Breckinrdge should resign his seat in the Fifty first Congress because of the assassination of the Republi can contestant, Col. John M. Clayton. When news of the assassination was first received here, few of Mir. Breckinridge's friends, laboring un der the impression that the death of the contestant terminated the con. test, believed that he would pursue this case. The political friends of Col. Clayton can, and doubtless will, carry forward the contest, and it is within the province Of the House of Representatives to declare Mir. Breck inridge's seat vacant, should they find that he was not elected. Mir. Breckinridge is the representative of his constituency, who have elected him to the Fifty first Congress. The assassination of his opponent, who was contesting for that seat, does not al ter-the status of the contest. It will give his political opponents much desIred opportunity of indulglng In their favorite pastime of making sec tional speeches and Haunting the bloody shirt; but It will not change the figures of the election. Should Mir. Breckinridge, yielding to mere sentiment and the clamors of politi- cal fanatics, resign the seat in Con gress to which he has been elected, it would be an admission that he was not elected, and reflection upon the honor of himself and his consti- tuency. It would also necessitate another election that would serve to engender bitterness and strife that, | if possible, at this time should be avoided. Giving his opponent the benefit of every vote that it can be proved he was deprived of at Plum merville or elsewhere, he still falls nearly five hundred votes short of an election.
 The assassination of Col. Clayton, while greatly deplored by the Dem ocracy of the State. and particularly of the district of which he was cit izeD, does not prove that he was elected to Congress on the 9th of No vember last. Aside from the Plnm- mervilIe ballot box, which it has nev- CT been denied was stolen, it gives no additional weight or color to any of the charges of fraud so generally made in his notice of contest against the Democracy of this district. It would therefore be unjust to the con- stltuency of Mir. Breckinridge, who sincerely believe that he was elected, and whose belief is backed by facts and figures susceptible of proof, though disputed, for him to resign his seat in Congress in obedience to partisan clamor or the sentimentalism of few well meaning though mis- guided friends.

THE following special from Wash ington gives Mir. Brecklnridge's reas- CD for not resigning his seat after after the assassination of his oppon- ent:
 Mir. Breckinridge's first impulse, when the news of the murder was confirmed, was to resign his seat and ask for another election, that the people of his district might have an opportunity to pass upon the ques tion. He had determined to tender his resignation immediately, and his friends approved, but after days reflection, one of them suggested that it would be charged that Breck. inridge resigned to escape investiga. gation; that his resignation would terminate the contest, and political enemies would charge him with hay ing withdrawn for that purpose. Thus they would say that. conscious of guilty knowledge of the crimes perpetrated in Arkansas, Breckin- ridge dared not stand searching inquiry. This presentation Of the question so impressed MT. Breckin- ridge that he determined to retsin his seat and remain silent, replying to no charges made and 10 let the re- suit of the investigation exonerate him.
 This will be conceded to be the correct course for MT. B. to pur- sue. Any other course would have been unfair to himself and unjust to his con onstituents.

Consumption IS on the Increase.

From recent statistics it appears that consumption Is on the increase throughout the western states. The principal cause, it Is stated, is due 10 neglect of common coughs and colds. It is the duty of all persons whether of delicate or robust health, to have remedy at hand at all times in readiness, and cough or cold may be broken up before it becomes deep seated. Ballard's Horehound Syrup will cure any cough except in last stages of consumption. A stitch Tn time saves nine. Always keep it ln your house.

The chief feature of importance IS in proving what has a thousand times been shown, that kings and princes are but human beings, and in a majority of cases very poor ones at that.

CONFLICTING reports are received daily of the cause of the death of Ru- dolph, Crown Prince of Austria. First it was apoplexy, then murder, next suicide, later duelling, and fin- ally a woman in the case. Some re- ports have it that he was sane, others insane; some say he was a moral man others that he was very immoral. Still he was a scion of noble blood, e kind of human god for the people to worship. Sad is this commentary on royalty, and thankful ought the people of this country to feel that this burlesque of king, emperor or czar does not exist here. That s man by birth, whether sane or insane moral or immoral, should rule a peo. pie, should govern a nation when he is not fit to govern himself, Is the most absurd monstrosity the world
