 hundred, and oqk-of that hundred we know hat ninety-nine repudiate the foolish and | wicked attempt at Reorganization. We | Snow that they look upon the miserable faction, of which the State Rights Demo- crat is the organ, as utterly unworthy the name of old line democrat or any other kind of democrat That the faction about Helena is an order or society, we had some reason to believe, as they record or pretend to record names, and have secrets among each other which are not confded to the body of democracy. We know too that their warmest sympathizers are know noth ings, and the mildest of the oppositionists adopt the language of a know nothing of this city, who said it was fight between democracy and the devil, and he was for the devil. With an allusion to our for mer politics, he accuses us of fancying the | democratic party to be an order. Our ex- | perience to which he refers has taught us this: To be able to detect the formation of societies the more readily, and if we are not mistaken, the pretended old liners with their public meetings, but carry out programme made at private meetings of the sachem or sachems. In good time the bolters from the democratic party to the name of old liner will be examined and shown to be piece of unwarrantable pre- sumption. As one of the papers requested to answer whether members of Congress, before the passage of the present compen sation act, did not receive full per diem pay during each recess for the Christmas holi days, we reply: We neither know nor care; that the recesses were generally for a day only and if such be the fact it in no way, shape, manner, or form, excuses, jus tifes or palliates the great outrage of sign ing certificates against the State for claims which some of the parties admitted were not just. Men, only claiming ten or twelve dollars and insisting that the State owed them only that amount were told that the State owed them ninety six dollars and sum. The per diem question has not yet been fully presented. All these pretended precedents are in no way analogous, and if they were, could not alter the eternal principles of right and justice.

 The editor of the State Rights Eagle of the 18th inst, has had a peach presented to him (which was not only peach in form, dimen- sion, and odor, but of the finest flavor succu- lent and delightful, grateful to the palate From which we infer that the fellow att it! If married, he should have given 1t tc his wife-if single, to his sweetheart He selfshly eats and then smacks his lips ovel

 it, to the envy of all other editors in the State But the peach put him in such goot humor that he proposes to the editor of tho Herald to baptise him in the pool of demo

 cracy after due repentance. He thinks tn,

 aforesaid editor ot the Herald would re , quire to be dipped several times. As ;

 pertinent enquiry, in view of his admins

 terng the rite, let us ask him: "Pray , how are you off for soap?"

 From the Fort Smith Times we lear \ the Butterfeld overland mail route is t b remain unaltered; that work will soon b
