TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Appalling Destruction Of Life and Property! Unparalleled on
 This Continent.

On the 31st of May, Johnstown. situated at the junction of Stone creek and Conemaugh river, in the State of Pennsylvania, was literally swept from the face of the earth as with bosom of destruction.
 The cause of this awful calamity was a continuous heavy down-pour of rain. reinforced by a tremendous flood of water from large reservoir two and one-half miles northeast of the city. that gave way aHd came rushing with resistlcss might against the doomed city. This reservoir was originally constructed as a feeder for the Pennsylvania canal but of late years it has been used as fish ing and hunting resort by party of wealthy gentlemen living in Pitts burg. about 7S miles distant. It is about three miles in length by one mile in width, and averaged about 40 or 90 feet depth of water; and was protected by strong dam, 90 feet at base, 20 feet wide at top, and llO feet high, 1 ,0O0 feet long, and stood at an elevation of 300 feet above Johnstown city. It is supposed that there was a water-spout or cloud burst at the time.
 The loss of life Is terrible, ranging from l l,i00 to 5000, including men, women and children-this number embraces also the casualties from the neighboring towns. Many heart rending scenes were witnessed by persons on the banks of this rlver of death, without the power of rescuing | these unfortunate victims from a watcry grave. Timely warning was given repeatedly, as to their perilous situation, but strange to say but few needed it; scoflling the idea, nearly everybody perished in the food
 As If to add to the horrors of the scene, the vast mass of wreckage that had noated against the railroad bridge caught fire, and hundreds were consumed by the devouring flames.
 The loss of property, it is thought, will aggregate fifteen or twenty mil lions of dollars. Take it all in all, this is the most terrible catastrophe recorded in the annals of the Vest ern Continent. Thousands of the survivors are homeless and penniless, and the appeal for help should meet with a cheerful response from every heart.

Bury tho Croaker.

Bury the croaker out i'll the woods, in a beautiful hole in the ground.
 where the wood-pcckers peck and humble bee humbs and the straddle bug straddles around Hes no good in the, ,city of push; too impracticable, stingy and dead; but he wants the whole earth, and all of it's crust and the stars that shine over head. Then hustle him off the humble bee $ roost and bury him in the ground {; he's no use to us here get him out of the way and make room for the man that is sound. - Exchange,
 Yes, bury the croaker deep down in the mould where the angle worms angle and twist, in moist place that's neither too hot or too cold, and truly he'll never be missed, save only by those whom he's worried and bored, and they'll give him good riddauce,' be sure, for in cities like this he's presence untoward that nobody we'll can endure. Then bury hlm speedily, lar out or slght Tn the woods, where the "cmggers" abide, where the mosquitos sing and the wicked heas bite. and the roach and tarantula hide. Hurry him off to his hole in the ground, where the Slugs and the moles fill the earth, for he's dead and we surely cant have him around-make way for the man of true worth Arkansas Press,
 Most earnestly do We commend the above to the idlers and croakers, who do nothing to help build up town. but use every opportunity to run it down. It shows in what esteem progressive, live citizens hold them, and how they will be missed when they die or leave.

 We naturally suppose this is aimed for J. NJ. Hudsou-more funiliarly and cleverly known as ".I.

Hudson;' and why q prominent newspaper of his own party and so near him, should have failed to call him by his right name, ca n only be explained in view of that degree of transformation which, like il pail of death. hoyers oyer the Democratic press oi Arkansas generally from the least to the greatest of such sheets For instance, the Gazette of ths city recently made two small thrusts at the truth of hs- | tory, which may not amount to much, and l vet for the correct information oi the "youtl of the country" should be noticed. The sheet mentioned Lucius Fairchild as eN Secretary of the Treasury and then referred to Mir. Keller a. "Speaker of the Flity-SeY' enth Congress These are blunders winch no editor should make whether hrSt-elaSs oi | not have committed under proper exercise of the sober second thought, Though We 1 do believe it has been among those sheet which have more recently referred to th, late Mr Barnum, Chairman of the Demo | cratic National Committee, a- the "greates 1 snowman on earth And perhaps he was Fl Little Rock Republican, May 25th.
 Col. Blackburn, we beg leave tC correct you, and also give you some information in regard to the gentle man of whom We correctly wrote. Hon. J. A.

He is now one of Arkan' sas best citizens, well and favorably known all over the State. We art greatly surprised that Col. Black burn-a native of Arkansas, so long on the tripod-docs not know Hon. J. A. Hudson The PlcAYrNE sel- dom. if ever, make, such mistake, as the Republican accuses Us of above. Be more careful in future, Bro. Blackburn, in selecting your victim to cudgel other papers with, or you may again display your own ignorance,

EVILS OF HOT POLITICS.

There is a vast difference between fanaticism and religion the one is a species of religious frenzy, which IS calculated to bring q reproach upon
 christianity, while the other is q
 sober and steady illustration of it's
 benign principles, and comments
 itself to all rehecting men. The
 same observation is true of politics :; there is vast difference between patriotism and intense partisanship; the one looks to the good of the whole country; the other seeks the { aggrandizement of mere party, and
 the promotion of selfish ends. As q
 sectarian spirit Is preJudiclal to the
 cause of true religion, so the same
 spirit transferred to the political
 arena is inimical to the best interests of the government Intemperance and uncharitablenes in the advocacy of the temperance cause has done the cause of true temperance immense mischief. We be brethren - let
 us not fall out by the way, by calling each other hard names, and indulging in uncharitable abuse.
 These remarks have been called
 forth by q resolution passed by the late session of the Arkansas Press Association, condemning PERSONAL JOURNALISM, as well as by an article in one of our state exchanges, in which the editor advocates what he terms HOT POLITICS. The Associ
 ation adopted the true position on this question. If carried out, it will elevate the tone of the press, give character to its utterances, and en- large the sphere of it's usefulness.
 Offensive personalities, vituPcra- ton and bllingsgate should be be- meath the dignity of ofrespectable jour nalism. During election times, and amid the excitement of political convass, the press should give forth no uncertain sound, but should use all honorable means to secure the success of it's principles and the eX- ponents of those principles; but after the elections are oyer, it should ac- cept the results in good faith, and devote its attention to the upbulding and development of the vast and varied resources and industries of our common country.
 The evils of hot politics are strifes, bickerings, and sometimes blood shed all of which may be avoided by calm, temperate and tolerant spirit. One of the unavoidable evils of our form of government is, the periodical recurrence of local, state and national elections; during the pending of which considerable ex- citement and enthusiasm prevail,

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 of the republican national committee as shown up by Col. Blackburn. And the l.. S. court at Little Rock has been a farce, as proven above. Two negroes, election judges in Jefferson county, who knowingly allowed the casting of many illegal votes, far worse crime than that committed by "old man Darden," got off with a SlO fine each, while Darden was sent to the pen for two years Shame, oh shame, where is thy blush;
 Yet Capt. j, A. Ansley, of the Dis patch, endorses such things But it is not surprising, since he advocat- ed negroes for municipal office in his paper, and voted for them in prefer ence to good white men, last April.
