From CaglesyfIIe.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
 As your correspondent from this place seems to be dead, 1 will try my hand, although only school girl and not accustomed to writing for the press.
 Our town is enjoying quite boom just now. Every residence here is occupied but one, and It would be if the owner would rent it. He seems to hold it for some other purpose. q wonder what it is.
 The question may be asked, why so many are moving here. It Is for the benefit of our excellent school, than which there is no better in the county. Our old and tried teacher is at his post and we have by far the best school we have ever had. We have some twenty boarders in at- tendance besides the regular attend ance from the district and we are looking for several more in about ten days. Our people are fully awake to the necessity of education. We have students here from this and other counties which shows that the people abroad are finding out that we possess advantages that many other places do not, viz: We have the finest water and the healthiest place in the county, entirely free from the evil effects of bad society, Church and Sunday school facilities excellent, and last, but by no means least, we have thorough teacher, who is untiring in his efforts to aid us in any way. Never have we call ed on him for assistance in any study when he was too tired to give the de- sired information.
 The extremely bad weather during the past fall has placed our roads in such condition that travelling is al most a thing of the past.

A GLANCE at the legislative pro- ceedings as published by the capital press, full and correct as they are known to be, is calculated to impress the casual observer with the idea that the general assembly is frittering away it's time without the accom- plishment of much real and practi- cal Legislation. The Gazette, semi apologetically, has this to say touch ing the matter:
 "If the people could see the am ount of bad legislation being killed they would be more inclined to give both house and senate credit for doing some good work. No Lord High Ex- ecutioner ever did hls country better service than the legislative bill-kill erp

TIE foul and heinous assassina- tion of John M. Clayton has furnish ed theme for discussion through out the length and breadth of the country. From the Kansas legisla- ture, which calls for martial law, to the Ingalls, and Foraker stripe of re publican politicians there is no linn it to the bitter denunciation and om- incus 'threats. On the democratic side there is no opportunity unim- proved to express the indignation felt on account of the commission of crime so atrocious. MT. Breckin. ridge, himself, is seriously em mbsrras- sed by the situation. And while there is no one at all acquainted with the gentleman who will think for a moment that he was in any way connected with the deplorsble affair, yet, the bitter partizans of the republican party are endesvor' ing to make him the political victim of that brutal act. They insist that he resign his certificate and abide the result of another election. This act would be construed as an admis sion that he was not legally elected He Is not willing to admit anything of the kind, for he honestly believes he defeated Col. Clayton, and relic, firmly upon the result of the contest to prove his undlsputed right to tht office. The arbitrary refusal of tn, majority in the house to allow Mir Breckinridge to take his seat would be an outrage the republican party can Ill afford to perpetrate, but, un fortunately, they are none too gooC | to do it.

A LITTLE RocK special to the St. Louis Republic mentions the fact that the sad end of Col. Clayton re- calls the assassination of Gen. Thom- as c. Hlndmsn several years ago. The two tragedies afford a striking coincidence. Gen. Hlndman had made Q brilliant canvass of the first congressional district in behalf of J. NJ. Hanks, the democratic nominee, and against Logan H. Roots, the re- publican candidate. After the close of the canvass Gen. Hindman was killed, being shot through the win dow at his home at Helena, the cause presumably arising from his part in the canvass. The one was no less a startllng and atrocious crime than the other. Neither should have been committed. Hindman's slayer was never apprehended. Will Clayton's ever be? We shall see
The Russellville Democrat., 1889-02-07

TIE communication of the Clay ton brothers in Tuesdays Gazette, purporting to be a statement of the causes which led to the assassination of their brother at Plummerville, is a lurid and sickenIng narrative, and whether it is all true or mostly false, one is forcibly struck with the close resemblance the events narrated bear to the methods employed years ago to perpetuate the Clayton dynasty in this State. The colncidences are strikingly apparent. But the one does not excuse nor justify the oth CT by any means. It simply proves the biblical admonition: As ye SOW ye shall reap.

THE Norwood contest has been withdrawn, without ''prejudice" to any individual or party. This dis position of the matter is doubtless the easiest way out of a complicated matter for the egotistical Doctor, but it is a matter of sincere regret that no opportunity will be given Pope county to clear her skirts officially of the vile aspersions cast upon her es- cutchen in his celebrated petition for contest. The Doctors charges, however, will be remembered and the score settled should he ever offer for office again.

Plummerville is town of some 300 or 400 inhabitants, situated for ty- four miles from Little Rock. The railroad runs east and west through the town. On the south side is the depot, and on the north side is row of dozen business houses occupied by dry goods, grocery and drug stores, and saloons. Back of these are the dwelling houses, occupied by citizens. A small creek winds it's course northward through the town and joins larger creek just below the depot on the south side of the railroad. Up this creek about 200 yards, just back of mill, is situated
 THE HOUSE

McCraven and her daugh ter, Mrs. Elizabeth Hill. who keep boarding house. The dwelling is surrounded by high picket fence. On the Dorth side of the house is a garden also surrounded by picket fence. The fence dividing the yard and garden runs about six feet from tho north end of the house, and about ten feet from the house is gate opening into the garden. There are several holes in the east side of the garden fence next to the street which runs h front of the street north and south.
 The room in which the deed was committed is situated in the north end of the house. There was win dow on the east side, or front, and one in the north end just Tn front of the chimney.
