K|t's)anriltoitsisitor BY B W. I>. BOLLLY. FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 20, 1874. Arkansas. The Columbus Enq lirer says that the new political trouble in Arkan ras is about this: Smith, now claim ing to be Governor, ran on the ticket, as Lieutenant Governor, witli Baxter, in 1372. He and Baxter were de clared elected. Both were Radicals at that time. Subsequently Baxter si.li and with the Liberals or Conserva tives, and aided in the passage of the bill for a Constitutional Convention. That convention framed anew Con stitution, which tho people ratified, and in accordance with this new con stitution Garland was elected Gov ernor, a few weeks ago. Tho Radi cals, who had changed front and gone to the support of Brooks as the Governor legally elected in 1872, dis puted the legality of the proceedings by which the convention was called, and would have nothing to do with the election under tho new constitu tion. They contend that Brooks was tho rightful Governor, and that the constitution of 1868 remained in force. When, therefore, Baxter retired the other day to give place to Garland, Smith, (who had been “lying low” during the previous conflict) suddenly t ame to tbe front, claiming that Bax ter having resigned or retired, ho (Smith) was the rightful Governor. He and his partisans now call upon the Federal Government to do sub stantially what Brooks vainly asked it to a few months ago, for ><t it only by recognising Brooks as the right ful Govornor when the Convention was called, that the regularity or le gality of that body can bo consis tently questioned. Sweet Prospect. It waft on Inst. Saturday eve, while the beauties of tbo evening lutes tnot my heart with b’.sslul hop' sueh hope as readers joy to every youthful heart and e~ I w as intently t aking upon the T bean'ics of the west; and my >i i -.as filled with warm emotion t:i)d love, when the thought of eujoy'vg (lie comptny of those who had mol for the purpose of passing the long and dreary hours of the night in tov. and happiness. I was wan dering beside the silvory stream that f.oV< ’ rom ont the mountain side ,nr isly awaiting tlio gloom of night I.<, shut in, that I might soon he ad mitted in the hand of these pleasure -peters. At length the sin.do of uight began to close in and tho glim mering stars decked tho broad can opy of heaven with such beantios my eves never before beheld; and while my heart was thus filled with tho beantios of hoavon and tho sweet ex pectation of future enjoyment; by chance I caught the glimpse of the -wcot orbid lights of tho moon as she passed silently through tho gloomy clouds that seemed to move with gentleness and love as she was rid ing high in the heavens, she seemed to speak with gentleness, I'm queen of a’ l ; but alas, my heart was arrested by the voice of someone I knew not who. I wandered but my wanderings could not perceive; again nnd again I heard them ns they joyously advanced uenrmo.it seemed tome, that they had borrowed tho voices of gratitude from Angels, nnd was talking of tho love and happiness of their homes. Tho sequel of the storv goes on to show, t at it was tho fortunate luck of some young ladies, who had found ft’possum. Nrffroism. Tt lias not vet boon provided tlint there is, or ever was, or ever will be, Mtiy necessity tor the civil rights bill, ns is alleged in this objection. His existence is not provided for in any , of the kingdoms of tiie universe, no law* of naturo develop such a being; a white man has no wants natural or s{ Vitual to be thus provided for. Hence I must conclude that this idea of a personal devil i* a tignent of tinman fear and ignorance, a terra eng- ( gested by the evils and discords pe cu l i,ir to the race. There is indeed one necessity for the existence of the devil and that necessity I must believe mix* the veritable cause of bis being. Thai necessity is the ignorance of the race. Here it was undoubtedly that all the devil there is, had bis origon; and heuce it is that this same old d-vi‘ dies, out of the faith, and the minds of men precisely as fr*t as they become developed, and info :med in respect to naturea laws. t-ir The Is (.-image Reporter says that last Friday night, some person entered the residci c® of Rev. W. J. ''otter, while the amity w* at snp ■r, and side tlm-' or four ■; is from stand in the entry. lVople U"’ Vi> c ihc-’.r 1. >ut doors jfe Wm trying to eetal ish a busiuess in hi Grange, Southern Bonds. We take from the New York Bul letin of Thursday the following sensi ble and just views concerning the impaired credit of the South; “The recent elections, in so far as they assure the Southern States fair play cannot fail to have a good influence; and if,.tho people of those Slates which have been loaded with debt by unprincipled adventurers will meet their creditors in a fair spirit, there is no reason why Southern State credit should not recover all it has lost since the war. It is true that many of the securities issued did not bring value received to tho Slates; but they have drifted into the hands of holders in good faith, many of them foreigners. These holders did not pay anything like face value for the bowls, and the proposition to ex change these bonds, say two or three for one new bond, on which interest would be promptly paid) should he acceptable. In any event, it would show good intentions on the part of the States making the proposals, and would help the credit of every one in the Slate. To make such of the Southern States as have been under the control of carpet baggers respon sible for the debts they incurred, and without the sanction of the tax pay ing people of those States, is some thing which we believe intelligent creditors, either hero or in Europe, do not contemplate.” It will bo no ticed that the Bulletin's remarks ap ply only to such States as are or have been under carpet-hug rule. The lladical Party made the negro race a political hobby on which they rode into power. Finding they were on a good horse they have rode him fast and hard ever since. When the jaded steed refuses to carry them farther they will turn him out to grass with an oath and n kick. He floundered terribly in the recent elec tions, and unless tho whip and spur will greatly revive him we predict they will soon havo to dismount, and seek another rosinato. So moto it be. All Texas is thrown into n fever of excitement by the Texas Gift Con cert Association, at Denison, offering inducements that were never equalled before by any association of the kind. Purchasers of tickets have every as surance that the drawing will be con ducted in a fair and impartial manner nnd the investment ol one dollar will surely get the grand cash gift of $50,000. Who will he the possesser of the lucky dollar? Apply to the ooal agent in this placo for any in formation desired. !3T r l ['he Louisville (Ky.) Courier- Journal asks why anybody advertises in newspapers, and gives tho follow ing sound and simple answer as to why business people advertise, and tlio principle of advertising: “Obvi ously this, that the advertiser wants his “wants’’ known;! that lie “wants” to sell bis goods; that lie “wants” to liiro a “help;” that lie “wants” cither assistance or custom, which iti his private walk of life, he can not come up with. Why, then, does he advoriise ? Hecauso ho can not come up with his “want.” Very well; where sliohld he advertise in order to give himself the host show ? Cer tainly in that advertising sheet which is read by the greatest number of people.” Fikk in Columbus. —Tlio Colum bus Enquirer says that five small wooden houses, located on the North side of Randolph street, between Oglethorpe and Jackson, burned yes terday morning about four o'clock. They were owned by Vtessis. Eass and rented by Mr. Villiam Snow. The first, east of the brick store on the Oglethorpe corner, was a black smith shop of Tom Terry, colored. Ho saved his tools. One bellows was burned. In the rear was the carpenter shop of Mr, Lewis Skinner, 110 saved his box of tools. Next house was the carpenter and wlieelright establishment of Mr. Al eck. Hall, the flames broke out in his place. He says he has had no fire in there this season, nnd thinks the burning was the act of an incendiary, lie lost ail his tools—some J‘2oo. The blacksmith shop of Jim Grin, nage colored, came next in order, lie lost all his tools. Hero were two wagons belonging to Mr. Nathan Crown, which were totally destroyed, lie valued them at $250. Next were two shat ties occupied respectively by Wesley Hunter and Henry Davis ns shoe shops. They saved all their tools. All told about fourteen hundred dollars worth of property was de ’ stroved. The flames threatened the ; lumber of Messrs. Champ.-.yne dr Kng ' land, but little harm was done. The . firemen w ere out promptly and work ed well. We hear the structures are Itobe at once replaced. The build ings were oppo>ite GauiineH's old stables. The Rattlesnake’* NSnemy. Of all the enemies with which tho rattlesnake has to contend, except man, tho hog is the most destructive. An old sow with a litter of pigs to provide for will hunt for reptiles with a perseverance and sagacity truly astonishing, tracking them by their scent to their hiding places, and never letting them escape. In the West, in early times, and now throughout the country, if rat tlesnakes become troublesome in any locality, a drove of hogs are turned into their haunts, and the snakes soon disappear. Tho hog, when it sees a rattlesnake, instantly erects its bristles and bauk, and commences rattling its tusks. The'snake accepts the challenge and prepares for de fense. The hog seems to understand what parts of its body are invulnerable to poisqn: so it gets down upon its knetbs, snd in this awkward position deliberately crawls, by a sidelong mo tion up to the enemy. The snake darts forward, and 'the hog dexterously catches the fangs in the fat of the jaws , the blow is re peated, and the hog having been smitten on the cheek deliberately turns the other. This the animal continues to do until the snake has not only exhausted, for the time be ing, its poison, but also its strength. The bog then deliberately rises from is knees, and, regardless of con sequences, seizes the serpent near tho hoad and putting its fore-feet upon its squirming body, strips the rep tile through his teeth and thus tears it to pieces. If tho hog, as is some times the case, happens to be very lean, and tho poison fangs thereby strike circulation, it will die from the wound, but this conjunction rarely takes place. ni—i ■ iw An exchange, ridiculing coun ty fairs, which make no effort at good shows, says that the Clearfield fair consisted of a calf, a goose and a pumpkin. It rained so hard the first night that the gooso swam off, the calf broke loose and ate the pumpkin, and a thief prowling around stole the calf, and that ended the fair. A Fetxow Fueling Makes Us WoNiiiiovs Kind. —A telegram from Washington states that President Grant has requested the Governor of Texas to delay the execution of the death sentence on Santanna until it can be satisfactorally ascertained whether or not he violated his parole, the President believingthe weight of evidence is in Santnnna’s favor. It will be roniebored Santanna is a chief of the Kiowa tribe, the sconrgo of tbo Texas border, that several years since he with others of his tribe at tacked a train of wagons on the fron tier of Texas, bound some of the teamsters to tho wagon wheels and burned them to death. Santanna was afterwards captured, tried by a Texas jury found guilty and scntenc ed to be hanged, which the most hu man will say he richly deserved. Gov. Davis commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life in the Peni tiary. President Grant petition <1 for the murderer, and finally prev upon Governor Davis to turn li over to the United States authentic who on the promise of good behavior of Santanna and his trihe, released him. Within a month Santanna was on the borders of Texas burning with hato anil a desire to avenge the in sults he fancied he had received from the whites. At last, again captured tried and condemned, his friend the President again inteferred for him. Ho cannot he charged with ingrati tude ; for* ho remembers the little kindnesses of the Indian squaws to him when a wifeless lieutenant upon the plains twent-five years ago. Let gs have peace 1 Gnu Your Child * Paper.—A ch id beginning to read becomes de lighted with a newspaper, because he reads of names and things which are familiar, and he will progress ac cordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter’s schooling to a child. Every father must consider that information is connected with advancement. The raothet of a fam ily, being one of its beads, and hav ing a more immediate charge of chil dren should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life and is braced by emergency. Children amused by reading or study are of conrse more considerate and easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their earnings in a tavern or grog shop who ought to have been reading? How many parents who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their families, wonld have given thousands to reclaim a son or a daughter, who had ignor antly, and thoughtlessly, fallen into ! temptation.

A sign-board can’t tell anything; it tal ,an advertisement to do that. A1 who advertise do not get rich, but ] ions few jet rich without it. Th ' world is .hii of advertising, yet every one wants to see what is ntw The world’s memory is short ; it will forgot if you len’t jog it fre quently.
