1t was but natural to suppose that the revelations

produce a great sensation among the public but also
create considerable uttcr among the members OF the
society itself II is not often that the journalistic
hunter comes upon such quarry as this Among the

Magistrate of the United States Postmaster Jewell and
several minor notabites. The consequence that
before noon on Tuesday people were buttonholing

could possibly be true They anxious to have
further corroborave evidence and to this the HERALD
in duty bound treated them yesterday This addi-

effect Of thoroughly convincing everybody in regard
the intent purposes of the organization Even the
least discerning OF the gentlemen who mean SO kindly

seen the very awkward position in which the society
was placed by the HERALD's exposure. So many Of
them, to use sporting phrase, 'Hharked back" de-

TIE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent ill it's course, under no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fcarlcssly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of it's duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State. will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. Iii short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon its own merits as loca and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscicntiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would icopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterprise ing as its patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management thatlimits expcn- diture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.

The inquiry into the new basin management
WAS concluded in somewhat farcical way last
night. Even after Messrs. Adams. McMenamin
and Lynch, a majority of the Committee, and
the only ones present, had severally declared the
charges unsustained, two and half hours were
consumed in further attempt to disprove them,
greatly to the tension of the nerves and patience
of Mr.. Lynch, at least. There was also strong
outside pressure leveloped-an undercurrent of
modelling in the investigation which showed only
too plainly the fear that chance for Democra.
tic stick of the pin might be lost. We could not
say unequivocally Of course, that the inquiry
was protracted, last night, to afford the Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to play another card in the
little game which they had staked upon this bus
iness but enc familiar with the whole affair
could scarcely resist the conclusion that they
were conducting the proceedings to their own
satisfaction. What they accomplished will be
developed later in the campaign now opening.


The report of the Committee, embodying it's
conclusions, will be presented to Council in
short time, and there the subject will probably
be re-opened


The resolutions OF buncombe passed by THE
basin employees will not be likely to affect the
COMMERCIAL to any extent, not that we are in
sensible topublic opinion when properly directed,
but because this movement was put up job.
We happen to be familiar with the whole pro-
ceedings, and puerile is the effort that 1t ex-
cites our sympathy more than it disturbs our
patience We are only surprised that the basin
employees did not zee the " trap" and avoid it.
Had they read the brief local items referedto they
would scarcely have given their sanction to the
very strained, even FALSE construction put upon
them in the preamble to the resolutions No
such statements as are attributed to the COM
MERoTAL were made by it, and hence we do not
feel any need of defence.


The principal feature in the contest among the
been the effort which certain members of the
party have made to choke off several of those
whose names were mentioned in connection with
the office. This movement was begun several
days ago, and some pretty sharp language, it is
understood, has already grown out of it, Thus
far but one man has given way-James W. Ware
who, We are informed has withdrawn entirely
from the canvass. The avowed object in view
was the comforting Of an unanimous nomination
upon VIM. G. Whiteley, Esq, who, it has been
intimated, would consent to serve only on such
conditions. 1t was authoritatiyely announced,
yesterday, however, that Mr.. Whiteey would &C
cept the nomination if rendered him, and we
take it that the struggle will now be turned to
mastering of forces about Mr.. Whiteley as
against the other candidates, some of whom re-
fuse to be put down and are vigorously working
for the nomination.

A traveller in Italy writing of the dress of the women of the town of Siena, says that married women, widows and maid ems all dress alike and cover themselves with a leghorn hat of such extraordinary dimensions that only when the wind is dead ahead can you get glimpse of their faces. These women wear short dresses and wooden shoes; they fold q bright shawl across their breasts and tie it in the small of their backs. They braid their heavy black hair ill two thick plaits and clap on their hats, which are made fast under the chin, and thus equipped they set forth into the market place and spend a great part of the day. When three of these women come to- gether in calm they flop up the front breadth of their hat brim and beam on each other like long lost friends. It IS just possible that they have not met out side of their hats in many day, for woman who buries herself under a brim about the size of Japanese umbrella is, to a certain extent, an exile.

A rather good story comes from 8 town in this district, says the Pleasant Creek Nea0s, and, fortunately, it's truth is vouched for: A number of the resi- dents were on Q kind of fishing picnic, and the weather being intensely hot they met with but indifferent success in angling. The ladies soon strolled off by themselves and went down the creek. This was only intended to mislead their lords and masters, and prevent them from following, as they really intended having quiet bathe. They made circuit, therefore, passed the camp unnoticed, and after going some distance up the stream they found quiet nook, and were soon padding about delighted. They were nicely sheltered, as the bank on one side was steep and precipitous. Meanwhile the gentlemen of the party also grew tired of angling, and one of them suggested bathe. "We can easily avoid the ladies, as they went down the river. I know nice shady water hole, with steep bank. We can undress under some trees not far off, take short run to the bank and jump in." They did so. One after another they arrived at the cliff and sprang of, coming down like so many thunderbolts in the midst of their better halves, who cannot to this day recollect how they got out of the difficulty.

 We worship the promotion of all good, all that is very beautiful, shining, immortal, bright, everything that is good. s.l-.-,.-g ... :

 The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and pa tience; temperance in prosperity and courage in diversity. 1asf | 'a ..s

 Man, being essentially active, must find in activity his joy, as well as his beauty and glory; and labor, like every thing else that is good, is it's own re- ward.

 However slow the progress of man. kind may be, or however imperceptible the gain in single generation, the ad- vancement is evident enough in the long run.

 It is the goodly outside that sin puts on which tempteth to destruction. It has been said that sin is like the bee, with honey in its mouth and 8 sting in its tail.

 Follow after justice and duty; such life is the path to heaven, and into the assembly of those who have once lived, and now, released from the body, dwell in that place.

 There is no action of man in this life which is not the beginning of so long chain of consequences, as that no human providence is high enough to give us prospect to the end.

 We recognize goodness whe rever we find it. Iris the same helpful influence, beautifying the meanest as the greatest service by its manners, doing most when least conscious, as if it did it not.

 God reveals his benefcence to the poet and artist in the clouds that curtain the skies, and the mists that mantle the mountains; he shows his bounty to hus- bandmen and operatives in general show CTS and unfailing rivers.
