The state owed the |. $. governments about s GOO, ooo and the U s. government owed the State about s5oo. .ooo. A settle. ment was accomplished by which the start made about B., soc, GOO. Senator Iones favored the settle- ment and Gov. Clarke opposed it. So Senator Jones has assisted in doing more for Arkansas than Gov. Clarke could do if he were to live thousand years. And what has Gov. Clarke ever done for Ar kansas? We remember one thing he did He raised the valuation of railroad property while he was governor and after his term expir- ed he appeared before the state board as an attorney for the rail- road and got the valuation reduced. Hence we cannot give him credit for that And we repeat, what has Gov Clarke done for Arkan- sas to entitle him to supercede Sem ator Jones ?-Ozark Democrat.

 If 1t were left to the ladies of of Monticello to decide, Governor Davis would never again warm his feet by the stove in the office set aside. in the State House, as the Governors office; and we don't blame them for their opinion of the Hon.

The editor of the Arkansas City Journal, Dr. w F. Bessellieu, who lives in Monticello and who was present at the speaking of the can didates for Governor, here last week, in giving an account of the speaking uses this language in his paper of the 2Ist inst: * An interruption occurred toward the close of the Governors speech, whether intentional or not, marred somewhat it's desired effect Some "roughs" or "toughs in the rear began hooting and yelling which compelled many of the ladies pres sent, experimenting danger of a row, to leave the room and caus- ing much confusion. Order hav- ing been restored by the peace of ficcr, the Governor who felt the indignity and justly complained of it. proceeded without further in- terruption to the conclusion of his speech.
 Now. what we desire to say is that the above from the pen of Dr. Bessellieu, who was right there and eognizant of all the facts Cor should have been) is cer- tainly very remarkable. and not the least wonderful part of it Is that the declaration he makes is wholly untrue. IS can be verified by every lady and gentleman who were at the speaking. Every lady who left the house and every gen tleman who was present, with per haps, the single exception of Dr. Bessellieu. knows full we'll that 1t wasthe course, vulgar and obscene language being used by Governor Davis which caused the stampede of the Iadies. and that there WAS no noise in the rear, or elsewhere in the house, at the time to disturb anyone. IL is true that as the la dies were marching out of the house inslarge numbers, many ot the chivalrous gentleman, in token of their approval of thus resenting the gratuitiousi insult which had been offered the ladies by the Gov ernor, himself, after having first extended them an especial invita- ton to attend the speaking. gener- ously cheered them. These are the plain, unvarnished facts in the case, and if the Governor felt any indignity at the ladies walking out and leaving him he, alone, is re sponsible. If Dr. Bessellieu, ol any one else doubts the truth ot what we here allege. let him ol them. inquire of any Of the ladies
 xho left he house or any decen a1an who was present. be he fol
 Davis or Rector. Truth to some may be a bitter pill, but neverthe
 less t is truth.
