THE republican supervisors who worked so hard on election day ID the iirst and second districts seem doomed to disappointment so far ss getting any money for their services is concerned. The report comes from Washington that there has not been, neither can there be,any money paid for deputy marshals or supervisors in these districts because neither Of them contains town of 10000 peo- pie. The faithful will have to do nate their services to tho cause and su1er defeat besides.

JUDGE ELLIOT, of Pine Bluff, in sentencing q murderer to be hanged on Thursday, January 29, next, gave as his reason for not selecting Fri day, according to the usual custom, that on Friday Christ was crucified and 1t is an insult to His memory to condemn murderers to expiate their crimes on the day on which He offer cd Ills life for humanity.

Col. Fishback's Latest.

10 the Rcopis or Arkanaaa.
 Fellow citizens; I aspire to rep resent the state of Arksnsas in the United States Senate during the si1 years ensuing after the expiration ol the term ofSenator Jones. Prior to the election recently held in this state, I declined to announce my candidacy because I was unwilling to jeopsrdize the success of the dem ocratic party, which I considered oi much more vital importance to oui commonwealth than that any partic ular man should represent it Tn the Senate.
 The people have therefore had no opportunity of expressing their choice between Senator Jones and myself.
 Feeling that the people should have such an opportunity, and be lisving that our Senators and Rep resentatlyss elect are honorable men, who desire to carry out the wishss Of their constituents, and who would therefore Dc glad to have some au thoritive expression of those wishes, l sought the co o-operation of Senator Jones in an effort to afford the pso. pie the usual opportunity of an nouncing their choice.
 As you are aware, he declines to givehis consent. Since that time the Democratic state Central Committee has called upon the democrats Of Arkansas to hold primary elections on the 27th Of Dessmbe to selec. A judge of the supreme court. respectfully request that these dem ocrats at the same time instruct by thelr votes, their representative as to their choice for the Senate. It IS but just to the people. It can be bnt agreeable to the members of the Legislature, and it is but fair to Senator Jones and myself.
 I shall make no public canvass, but leave It to the people.
 Respectfully,
 W. M. FIsHBAcK.
