Should Initiate Them.

Four M, MIXERS Of .he Arkansas le,is
laiurc, all Democrats, have resigned
their seats in that b1dy. The poll books
and returns FROM six townships were
stolen at the fall election and The returns
remaining gave them majority. The
Republican canlitla'es began contests
for tie seats, aud these eases are now
pending. Since the killing Of Colonel
clayton. even the Democratic papers
lave been denonncing the thefis Of the
pn,,l books ard returns IN the counties
N the State, charging that these crimes
led to the killing II Clayton. The ac-
ton Of these gentlemen in refusing to re-
tain seats IN the legislature to whict
they had no valid claim is deserving the
'iyhcst prai.., and il sal blow tn The
rarffanly element, who IN many sections
Of tho Sonth have been guilty Of the
greatest crimes and sutrages aga INST the
rights Of their political opponents.
The evidence already gathered shows
that in the congregational district repre-
scented by Mr. breckenridge, sou of
the Great Kenluckian. frauds Of the
most glaring kind were perpetrated. A
prominent lawyer who strove to secure a
fair election was beaten and shot, from
the effects of which he died Another
asupervisor, who it was believed could
give testimony which would convict
some of the parties who stole the ballot
box in one Of the precincts, was wound
ed and forced to leave his county And
Colonel Clayton, who was Mr. Brecken-
ridges opponent for his seat in Congress,
was killed by midnight assassins, who be-
Yond doubt we're connected with the cleo
ton frauds. 1t would be becoming in
the talented son Of the brilliant John G.
Breckenridge to also tender his r sigma
ton, aud thereby show to the thousands
who had such ver~rqtion for his gifted
father, that like him, he would touct
nothing having the taint of fraud or
injustice
'~~ n tho Fifth Congressional Distriet of
Maryland, the evidences already dis
closes, that, while the Democrats were
not so violent as those in Arkansas.
they were cqu.lly successful in accom-
plishing their purpose. for nearly two
hundred legally qualified voters were
prevented from voting on account of
Gear ofpersoual violence, aud Mr. Comp
ton, Folds a certificate which it is clear
Mr.. Mudd should have received We
have yet to see ia single Democratic
paper in this State an article de-
nouucing The ruflians in their party
who arcnnderniniug the very foundations
of our government. by such violent and
fraudulent actions Nor have we heard
of any intention upon the pert of Mr.
Compton to resign in favor of Mr. Mudd
who was legally elected. II Mr.. Comp
ton and the Democratic press of Mary
land would follow the example set by
the members Of the Arkansas legislature
and many of the Democratic editors in
that State who have concluded not to
profit by, or longer remain silent while
the fair nawe of their State is being
ruined by the worst element of their
party, they would elevate it
and would gain and retain
she respect Of their o!.tical opponents
Will they do it?

very small affair in itself, but this is an
extraordinary crisis in Mary land politics
Mr. German is fighting for the preser-

dominant force Maryland Last fall the
Repub leans carried three districts, sc
curing one-half the Mary land delegation
By violence and fraud Mr.. Compton Sc
cured the certificate in the fifth district,
but Mr. Mudd, the Republican candi
date, has been taking testimony whic1
shows that The Democrats imported the
South Carolina and Mississippi methods
with some success. Having looked
over the field and studied the iacts, the
Free Quill concludes:
"As to the result of the Mud Comp
ton contest, there can be no dqbt Mr.
Mudd was fairly elected, and will be
seated This. however, is Ne minor
par, of the issue presented bythis con-

troversy. The Free Quill bices the
political revolution which ID i liking up
Maryland's dry bones. Newpmen aud
new methods are wanted, bhausc the
welfare of the State is imperbd by the
domination of its present styled politics.
All the Republica rs have to dtis to put

A Change WILL Come--Senator Far

A Change Will Come. Ex-senator Faulk-
ner from the District of Columbia committee
reported favorably on Friday last the bill pre-
Yisuslr introduced for the preliminary steps
for building a bridge from the Arsenal To
Geisboso. 1t may be some time before the
bridge is completed, but there is no doubt in
a reasonable lime it will he done. The gov
ernment will then build Il road down the Po-
tomac to Fort Washington, which will great
|, improve the county through which it runs
The public highway will attract settlers who
will be induced, because OF the cheapness Of
the lands TO buy. Theu will those same lands
increase in value which will induce parties
searching tor homes to investigate further the
Southern Maryland peninsular, and then will
Charles county ltnds be more eagerly sought
and sales more readily made than now. This
is what our prophetic vision tells us will come
to pass in the not far distant future, provided
OF course the ordinary means are used hy land
owners to attract attention TO our soil, climate
and advantages, which We know, but 700 fre-
quently think all the world knows, are une-

JOURNALISM DOES NOT PAY.

Under the above heading Editor
Caldwell, of the Statesville Landmark,
in late issue of his paper, INDUCES in
few timely reflections on the condi-
ton of journalism in North Carolina.
He says:
Conversation with editors at the
Press Convention at Lenoir, disclosed
the fact that the condition Of journal
ism in North Carolsna is unremunera-
tive and largely unsatisfactory. Our
population is spare ours are not, gen
orally speaking, a reading people; and
newspapers have multiplied in the
State until there is hardly / living tor
any OF them. Cut throat competition
is sapping the vitality Of some of the
ablest of our papers, those who prac-
tice it are hardly keeping body and
soul together, while they harass jour
nails which would otherwise be pros
porous and useful. There is no class
of men in North Carolina OF equal
ability and character that is not max
ing twice as much money as the edi-
torial fraternity. x * Anew papers in
the State are doing little better than
paying expenses, but where this is the
case it is the result of rigid economy,
extraordinary hours of labor, and one
man doing the work of two.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Cald :
wells conclusions are too we'll found :
ed. There is much truth is what he
saws and his remarks are entitled to
careful and thoughtful consideration
While the publication of the article
above quoted at this time may appear
little significant, it was clipped and
hung on our copy hook before we had
any intimation that Henderson was to
have anew paper-the second attempt
to establish another one since the
GOLD LEAF was started nearly eight
years ago.
