HOneayille Happenings.

Sow U. L. P.'s, reap Republicans.
 As water runs by the force of gray ity, how naturally the |. L. P. gravitated into the Republican party.
 The stream cannot rise higher than its fountain, neither can the U. l.. P. rise higher than the Republican party.
 Dispatch says, If we can't put in our ballots, we must put in our bull lets" What does it mean? war and strife? Such a phraseology makes us think of other days when Clay tons band of thieves put ill their bullets" Ye, peace loving men, hear! Here Is a man in law abiding Arkansas, in broad open day, the editor of public journal, surround ed by some of the very men who were in open sympathy with the men who plundered the public stores, robbed the private citizens, and disfranchised the people by whole counties, proclaiming the same threat from week to week. What does it all mean? Is there to be no end to such incendiaryism: Is it h. tended to incite the ignorant to deeds of violence? If this is not the end in view, why such persistence, after the northern press have eX- hausted the vocabulary of billinsgate for a southern man, among southern people, to make a declaration, a threat, that he we'll knows is unwar- ranted. nnmerited, and is not sus- tained by precedent sufficient to make it colorably defensible. Is 1t not time to heed the warning and es- cape the doom? Does he do it to satisfy the mad rawlings of the beg garly herd of office-seeking politl- ticians that revolve around him as theiri central medium of light, or is he playing upon the prejudices of his honest deluded followers to pre- vent their deserting him forever; or is it to gain the applause of the dis  contented elements of mankind that have cursed every country and cline under the shining sun: The main spring for such utterances is sought to be kept hidden, but the people are beginning to see behind the mask, and have discovered the inside ous spring that propels the machinery of the Dispatch's political life. Why, yes, the people see and comprehend the meaning. Men that consort with Clayton soon catch the infection, "we must put in the bullets" This string was played upon by Clayton years ago, and he seeks to play upon it again. Clayton put in the bull lets," proclaimed martial law, re- moved civil protection and turned loose upon us a band of ruflians, whose mission was not to weld the bond of peace, but to steal and rob, and they did it to their hearts con- tent, and "put Tn the bullets with out fear of punishment.

 Can none of our brother scrbes tell us what MT. O. $. Jones, ad- vance agent of Capt. Ansley's little nickle U. l.. r. side show, is doing, galivaning around over the country, just now. If he is posting the show wouldn't it be advisable to caution them in regard to the cages of the cats, bears, bulls, anacondas, tigers, etc. They never come among the moss backs. Perhaps he is canvass ing for the honors of Representative !; if so, Iwould advise him to return to the shop from whence he came, for the better part of the party will soon file into the ranks of their fathers they have seen enough of hypocrisy.

Laneburg Leaflets.

The excessive rain of the past week has greatly retarded farm work.
 Crops planted on creek bottoms and low lands will in many instances have to be planted over.
 The planting of the cotton crop will necessarily be so late that any thing like a full crop is extremely improbable.
 If one should want to see longer face than is worn by the average farmer around here, they would have to hunt an office seeker who had been sat down upon about his sixth time.
 A good citizen of this community who lives on the road leading from Prescott to Falcon, informs me that on a certain windy day a few weeks ago, man well dressed and appar- ently well fed, riding in some sort of reddish looking vehicle, drawn by a roan colored horse, passed by his house, and in a lane a tree had fallen, blockading the road, and said man alighted, threw down the fence on either side of the log, then re- seated himself and drove off, leaving the gaps down. Now, the good farmer tells me that the man who did this looked for all the world like the editor of the PICAyCNE, insomuch that he took it to be him, and was surprised, for he thought a success ful newspaper editor or good preacher never left gaps down.
 A meeting was held at Mt. Moriah Saturday, by the leaders of the great reform { D party and few follow CTS, for the purpose, as they claimed, to discuss the subject of ballot box stuiIing and stealing, and earnestly solicited the attendance of all who were opposed to such and were Tn favor of a fair count. 1 WIS not there nor have heard from the meet ing. wish to say to those willy political schemers, and will express the sentiments of our citizens almost to a man, we arc and ever have been opposed to any wrong at the ballot box, and are strictly in favor of fair oount-don't tolerate anything else in our midst, hence the call for such a meeting In Albany tp. is en- tirely out of place. We don't need your counsel or advice on this line uot at all.
 The U. l.. Republicans have been trying to stir the political pot around here considerably of late. They met here last Thursday and Friday, as they claimed, for the purpose of transacting the business of the so- called agricultural Wheel of the coun- ty, but from the complexion of the representatives, and from what could catch as an outsider with re- gard to what they trying to accom- plish, was forced to the conclusion that making political speeches, abus- ing the Democratic party, and trying to prejudice the minds of the people against said party, and to keep as many as possible from voting the ticket, was ostensibly the moving in cfntiye, for the attendance of snch nen IS Norwood, Ansley, Jones X Co.,, show this, l can't believe they care whit for the success of the Wheel, outside of the hope of money and fame for themselves.

The lightniugs flash, the thunders roar, But thou art still secure, Away from all the Ills and care Of fa world that is impure. The friends are many, passing by, That look upon thy tomb, In fondest memory thou art yet Amid their every home. Why should death so grasp the flower In his cold cold embrace; There is none on earth that hath the power To fill the dear ones place. Budded on earth, it will bloom in heaven, Thy sun will never go down Ii set al noon but will rise again Thou hast harp and crown. Dead, dead and gone we mortals say, His body's meath the sod; Soon, soOn ah, soon, we all shall meet Around the bar of God. Cheer up. dear mother, weep no more, Your boy, he is nOt dead, "lIc only sleeps" the Savior said And sOft his sleeping bed.

Those Winchesters.

"You will have to face winchester rifles" the Dispatch winds up a batch of misrepresentations and de- captions about the real estate mort gages in this county. As long as people have to hire money the more of it that is put on the market the better, no matter whence it comes. Compare the present with ten years ago. Business, and especially cash trade, has largely increased; the inn provement in live stock has been wonderful, partly due to "British money" Messrs. Denman & Steele have added Spanish Jack, and MT. Ed Gee a herd of Holtein cattle, not speaking of the Durhams of Uncle Aliens, and Jerseys of Dr. Powers and Otis Moncrief; the road side has been dotted with good houses and barns. Where there is will there a way. We are going to pay those British and all other mortgages off in due time, and not fire win chester, but will raise cotton, corn, fine mules and horses, cattle and hogs, and last, but not least, we will bring out a Democratic ticket and completely snow under the U. l.. r.

And Murat Halstead, of the Cincin- natl Commercial G azette, the leading Republican paper of the State, who unwittingly contributed largely to his defeat by publishing forged letters on Campbell, has had to also re- tire; has gone to New York and is now Tn control of the Brooklyn Standard Union. Thus the Republi- cans of Ohio have lost two of their most brilliant and prominent politi- cians. It is probable the State will be Democratic from this time on.

FEATHERsToN's FIRST SHOT.

We publish the first bill introduced by Hon. l.. F. Fcatherston. If en- acted into law, devilfish anacondas, trusts, money lords, in fact the en- tire flock of vultures will be fright ened from the carcass of this Repub- lie. It is all that can save us. Let every Union in the United States en- dorse it and send petitions to Hon. l.. P. Featherston for it's passage. Send postal cards. Let every man be heard in the halls of Congress. Break the yoke. Be American free men, not Hazard slaves. - Arkan- saw Dispatch.
 The Featherston bill, spoken of by Capt. Anslcy in the above, proposes that the government loan money to any holder of real estate, owning 20 or more acres, at } per cent per an- mum, for a period of not less than five nor over ten years, taking q mortgage on the land to secure the payment of debt. It also provides that only one-half of the assessed valuation Gas given in for two years previous to loan) can be borrowed ; interest to be paid annually, and in case of failure to do so for two con secutive years, the government to foreclose mortgage. It seems Mir. Featherston wants the government to support the people instead of the people the government, as intended by Thomas Jefferson and other foun- ders thereof, for should his plan be carried out to it's legitimate result, and the government become owners of most of the land and bankrupted financially, he and Capt. Ansley would then ask the government to donate the land back to the people. Featherston' bill is the verriest bosh "a visionary, impracticable scheme. He and Ansley, Jones & Co.,, can put up a pitiful mouth about the terrible "anaconda," "devilfish, " etc., condemning mortgages that burthen the people so greatly, and then turn right around and advocate the inauguration of universal sys- tenn of mortgaging by the govern ment, enough to bankrupt it and sink it into oblivion. A pretty set of consistent CD fellows, truly ] Now, let's hear no more from them, about the mortgaged ridden, suffer- ing people, they pretend to have so much regard for.
 We do not favor anything that will encourage and tempt men into going into debt and mortgaging their all, for little temporary help, and MT. Featherston's bill certainly leans in this direction. Even if the govern ment was able to loan money so universally, Chad its treasury as full of money as the woods are full of leaves in autumn) which we deny, this bill would not do, as only small loans, in proportion to value of real estate, could be had, which could not be repaid in less time than five years; so it possesses all of the very objectional features of those "British blood-sucking monsters, so dreaded by these reformers. CD But there is no likelihood of Featherston's bill passing. It is pure buncomb, to manufacture political capltal-de- ceive farmers into supporting for of office Featherston, Ansley, Jones, ct al.
