ARKANSAS. The State of Society There and Elsewhere and a ComparIon Instltotetl.

Coavlc. Labor, Ineano People, LJqoar IUlatlon and Female Suffraje Ktling Letter from Lather Ileasoa. Little Rock, Ark., April 10. Negroes ami white radicals have an affinity for metropolitan life. This is the largest city in the Htate and much of the time under Rep iblican rule. The De mocrats doubting their ability, perhaps, to carry the last municipal election thought to handicap extravagance by a citizens' ticket-jthe best men of both parties. This was thought by the Republicans to be an admission of weakness and rejected it with disdain. They were not going to have it that way. A whole hog one perfect in all his parts was what they contemplated. The idea of dividing any precious morsels of official spoil is not congenial to the Republican heart The Democrats chose rather than surrender to tight. This has a meaning here, it means work. It would do the Democrats of Indiana tood to see how it is done by the Democrats of Arkansas. It would learn them wisdom and give them hope. The same earnest, ceaseless work would bear frtit in one State exactly as it did in the other. The Republic is drifting away, rapidly drifting awa) from its ancient ruoorings. The only thin necessary to insure a Democratic triumph is correct information for the Ieople. The truth. God's truth, is as fatal to Radicalism as scientific intelligence ito superstition. .. The Democrats turned to, and a sweeping victorv was the consequence. The ticket from Mayor down was triumphantly elected. This saves the State from the possibility of tying gobbled by the Federal office-holders. The result hereby relieved the public from all anxiety upon" that score. Nor to accomplish this was there any bulldozing, or intimidating, or voting of negroes. It was fair and honest. It is the honest election at the South a full vote that rolls up the vatt Democratic majori t v. The Oneral Assembly has adjourned. The time of this body was mostly devoted to the framing of a revenue law which, upon trial, was found not only defective but ab solutely impotent. (Jovernor Churchill, by virtue of his veto, rrnnintlv killed the bill. This action has raised" about the head of his Excellency such a howl as is seldom heard rarely meted out to anv ofiicial. Some years ago he was Treasurer of State. Lately there has been fjund in his book account a mistake of sixty or seventy thousand dollars. This has gi ven our Republican friends a basis upon which to build. They diligently improve the shining hour. But Governor Churchill is one of those gentlemen of whom it may be said: "Whatever his faults are the love of money isnot one of them. The Committee appointed to investigate has found an error amounting to $-J0,0UO in his favor. I have met no candid intelligent man of either party w1k doubts his honesty or imagines that the error can be other than clerical. This State now has a statute against the carrying of concealed weapons. This prohibits brass or metal knucks, sword, dirk or ear in canes, or pistol. Further tian this (we shall now hear a howl from the Northern manufacturers) any person who shall keep such articles for sale !ball be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and fined not less than $00 for each violation. This will cause the sanctified bless-God-le.vrob-soinebody Yankee many a pang. Do you see the joint? It cuts oil' his feed. Not a weapon allowed to be either sold or carried in Arkansas. The law-makers have gone to the root of the evil, and tore it out. Merchants interested in the sale of tire-arras got up petitions to the Governor not to sign the bill; but he signed it all the 'same, and it is now a law. The knowledge that the cheerful little pistol, the frolicsome bowie knife, the rolicking dirk, the playful brass-knucks, and such articles have been banished by statute does not seem to retard emigration 'in the least. The law, however, has its rough side and disadvantages. How are the chivalrous, high-toned. Southern men to avenge their outraged women? It will cost too much to mine and blow him up with nitro glycerine. How are a chivalrous people to get along without either fire-arm or edged weapons? Howare they going to get their guns? Rut in the future; instead of putting a pistol in his pantaloons, the Arkansas man will put greenbacks in his pockets. It means not bo many saloons and more school-houses, a-Church steeple instead of A GALLOWS. Writing of this grim machine for artistic neck-breaking reminds me that two exciting murder trials have just closed at Lewisburg, this State. One of the accused was acquitted; the other was sentenced to be hanged. They were jointly charged with the taking of life. Colonel L. L. Wittich of Ozark, defended them. He is surely as skillful a lawyer and as eloquent an advocate as there is in the country. His wonderful powers of oratory are upon every tonue. The doomed man is to be executed on the 27th of May. Such performances ere are public At almost every country town the gallows towers. A hanging is one of the fixed institutions of popular diver3:on. The audience vanes according to the social standing of the victim. The public strangulation of a negro murderer will not how more than 5,000, while no less than 25,000 people would turn out to see a nice lady executed for killing her husband. Nowhere in the world does a circus draw so well as here, but a hanging draws better than a circus. No one can describe the anger en fndered by A ELSPITE OB POSTPOSEJIEJST. Not long ago a negro was to die upon the scaffold. The crowd had assembled, the last prayer had been offered, the rope wasaround ms necic anu tue trap ready to spring when a messenger irom the Uovernor arrived com muting his sentence to imprisonment for a r ria me. iaiK not oi indignation until you have Been such a crowd. A madder mass of hu manity never stamped the soil of Arkansas. Especially the negroes. They have no pa tience with executive clemency. Stopping an exmoition so exquisitely interesting is noining snort ot a public outrage. It is a remorseless wrong that the colored population can hardly endure, and the white people heartily despi.se. In this particular the Arkansas gentleman resembles his Hoosier neighbor. Some one has said that human nature is the same the world over. Richard O'Brien, the Jailer at Indianapolis when Merrick and Achey were to be hurled into the presence of their Maker at the end of a halter, told me that for days before to the very moment of execution, the crowd was vulgar and impertinent to catch a glim ie of the prisoners. While Achey was rect-iviug his last spiritual consolation (Merrick had none) the crowd was howling at the door. Here human curiosity was like nothing but the beastly thirst of wolves f t r blood. If jtfople will act that way in Christian Indiana how may they not act in '-(iod-lorgutten Arkansas?'' In Indiana this whs not the mob or rabble, but sinners in high fetation. The crowd was largely coniord of the wives and daughters of merchants, the wives and daughters of bankers. TEMPIBA5CE LEGISLATION. The liquor traffic here is restricted with a security that drives it out of the country. First "Local option" was enacted. This was supplemented with still other local acts. Liquor shall not be sold within three miles f a College or any chartered seat of learning. This is the unkinde.it cut the fatal blow. It not only does John Barleycorn to death, but paves the way for FEM ALK SC rr RAO I, white and black. This is the general act for the entire State. It provides that whenever the adult inhabitants residing within three tailai of any school houaef Academy, College

Universlty.oT other institution of learning or any Church bouse In tbia SUf fe shall de sir to prohibit the sale or givirtgaway of any Intoxicating liquors or "tonics" v "bitters," and a majority of such inhabitants shall petition the County Court, The Jna'ge shall make an order in accordance with the (raver thereof, and thereafter it shall be unaw'ful for any person to sell or give away intoxicants within three miles of sucli Church house, College, Academy or school bouse. Here are the exact words of Pection 2 of this law: Hection 2. For the purpose of tbU act. females as well as males ar competent sbcTjbT to the petition herein provided ft, That is at least limited womanhood suffrage, and Arkans is the first State to even in part bestow suffrage on tie colored sister.

A SUCCESSFUL FARM EE, Hia Viewa Concerning- Large Fortune and Female Suffrage. Senator O. P. Davis said yesterday after noon, while awaiting a train in the vicinity of the I'nion Depot, that this was his last term in the General Assembly. Rut he was taking into his retirement nothing of disgust for politics. However, as the years creep slowly on the duties of a Legislature are less congenial, the freedom, pure air and won derf ul beauty of his country home are more attractive. He has in a splendid state of cultivation more than 1,000 acres of rich Wabash bottom, and all of his time is spent in superintending. In a worldly point of view, he has been very successful. He has been a book-bi nder, a dentist, a lawyer, one of the largest farmers in Indiana, as well as a Legislator. In the course of the conversation lie remarked: "The man who comes with nothing but a fortune is poorly recommended to me. It is seldom that the query is asked, but I always want to know how the wealth was accumulated. Iarge jnssessions are often acquired dishonestly, besides the example has no wholesome effect unon the morals or happiness of a people. A man or family feeling a permanent security from want is in the best condition, because more likely to be contented." "In this life we need nothing but content ment." "Did you attend the ball given at th New-Denison last night, by the ladies, t the members of the General Assembly who favor female suffraee.' ' asked the reirter, "No, he replied, "I am twenty years too old for balls, but the cause of female suf frage has my profound sympathy. I am in favor of it as a matter of right and justice. These ladies have all along known where to find me. However. I do not believe in universal suffrage, bat sex should be no disqualification. That its a superstition. To say that a pure, noble; intellectual woman shall not vote, and that a masculine deadbeat may vote, is simply monstrous. Rut I admit that there are already too many peo ple voting. Recause a tramp sleeps on the steps of a Church does not authorize him to be heard at the meeting of the Board. A time will come when the suffrage of this country will be limited. I do not expect to see it, 3'ou may." Ilaw Mrs. lSlaina Resented a Slight. . Washington Star. The Senate is, as is well known, a stately and conservative hotly, whose members are great sticklers for what is known as "Senatorial courtesy." This so-called "courtesy" is to the effect that, in optosition to an appointment, and the President, after notice of such objection, will not withdraw it, then the Senate shall reject it. An ex-United States Senator says that when Secretary Blaine was a Senator from Maine there was no member of the Senate who so thoroughly lived up to "Senatorial courtesy"' as himself. The break he had with President Hayes was brought about, he said, bv causes exactly the same as those now oierating with Con kling. President Hayes nominated a District Attorney for Maine, withoutconsulting the Maine Senator. On the night of the day these nominations were sent to the Senate Mr. Rlaine wa invited to a state dinner at the White House. As he had previously ac cepted, there was no way for him to get out (tu. He attended the dinner with .Mrs. Rlaine, but the lafter was so exasoerated at the treatment her distinguished husband had that day received at the bauds of the President, that, while she sat at the table through every course, she refused to touch anj thing -offered. The dinner over. Mr. b'aineand wife retreated, and the Senator never put his foot hiMde the White uouse again while President Hhyc.i was the occu pant. In tlie Senate Mr Rlaine claimed the courtesy of Uic lxdy, ti reject the nomina tions bveau-c he had not been consulted concerning them, and they were both re jected. A Vru'i Dileuiiiia. ICh.cincatl Gazette. When General Sherman arrived in Auburn on Tuesday to attend General Emory Up ton s funeral, he was accosted by an om vet eran, who -teppt'd up to the General and extended his hand, saving: "Let me shake hands with yon.Ueneral. I was with you in the Slien indoah." "Yes," said the General, "thaisail right, but I wasn't there." The veteran subsided and slid out of sight as fast as possible. One of the grounds on which an Ohio wife demauds a divorce is that her husband habitually sleep with a pistol ia his hand.

- LINCOLN'S ASSASSIN ATI OX".

Graphic: Description of the Terrible Dee by an Eye-Wltnest. Chicago Times. I The recurrence of the anniversary of Abra ham Lincolns death, April lr, revives reminiscences of the martyred President. On lat evening a Time reporter was listening to an account of the assassination as given Dy one who saw it John F.Dillon, now employed as engineer of the Stock tfards' dummy of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Itailroad. His story is as follows r "In the rrwith of April, 1 I was eraImed in tVe billiard-room in the rear of Viliard's Hotel, wbieh was feonented bv the raost prominent laen of that day. Reing off daty on tlv night of the 14th, and time h&mrisz heavrty on ny naiid, i stroiiea along she streeti until y attention was ar rested by a placard announcing-that Laura Keene -as playing "Our American Cousin" at Foid i Theater. Thinking it a good way to kill tixie. I resolved to xo there, although the houJ was imewha4 late. However, hfnrp corn? into te Theattr. I stoned into a basemer.t saloon next doct to the theater, known as the Sh.Tspeare saloon, to get a drink.

In about twenty minutes after I heard great cheering, aad I felt convinced' there wtiesonie(üstingurüed persons in the tage bor on the same si 4a of t!ie house on wSiich I was seateiL. I crossed over to the oppwite side so that 1 would .et a good view of the box 9ccupa:it3. Lincoln was seated withihis bach to the door, which opened into the tallery,:ind facirthe stjs. Mir Lincoln an ianothelady.wUoso name I can. not recall, were seated in the center with Major Rath bone at the end furthest from the President. My atttmtion wasaboutequally di-vi-ied between the Presidential party and the performance. Harry Hawk,, who was supporting Laurr Keene. was on the stage when Dooth mad- a sudden entrance iuu th stage box and fired, shooting Lincoln- Ui th biick of the- head. Major Rath bone mode an effort to grapple- witli Booth, but w defeated by a knife-thrust. Taking aivaatage of this temporary liberty,. Rocth juaaped to the stage, a distance of about ta feet, and fell upoone knee. It is owmiuouly asserted that R-xnh broke his Ug in the jump; but, be that as it may, he arose- as though he had not received the slight hurt, and brandishing his knife whkh seemed to me to be a ten -in ah blale in a dramatic manner, he uttered the memoraWe words: "Sic sc-nijx.-r tyrannis.' Rooth. then K KT USD AS COOLI.T a though he was engaged to aet a part of the play. Great consternatinu and uproar was manifested by the audience, and it is wonderful that there were not many serious accidents. I.aura Keeue, by her coolness, did much to stay the stampede which ensued; in fact, she seemed to be the only one who had self-possession sufficient to seriously think or act as becomes a rational being. One man, whom I recognized in the audience as an army offieer. stood on his seat and exclaimed: 'That is Wilkes Rooth; he did the shooting.' Otlier persons cried out: 'Run, Harry, run!' believing that Harry Hawk was the one referred to. Charles Withers, the leader of the orchestra, rushed under the stage to the rear, thinking to intercept Rooth, but the latter's knife again did him service, ana Withers was forced to retire. I was the first one to inform the assassinated President's coachman of the dastardly deed, and he at once whipped up his horses and brought a physician. In the meantime Lincoln was removed to a house opposite the Theater, on Tenth street, where he died the next morning, April 1", 100. It was a common report at that time that soldiers immediately filled the Theater, but such was not the case. "After the commotion had partially subsided, and while I was standing at Willard's Hotel, a man came along, full of excitement, and exclaiming: 'My God, Seward is killed!' I replied: 'So is Lincoln,' to which he retorted: 'My God, we will all be killed!' "the citt was in a term est, the greatest excitement prevailing everywhere. Soldiers were brought in from the outlying forts; people went about in a subdued manner, their conversation held in a hushed tone, and everything gave evidence that a great dread was pervading the city. "You may remember that, when Booth left the Theater, he fled out of the city by the way of the Eighth street bridge, over the Eastern Branch. This bridge has a draw of about twelve feet to allow boats to pass. On the bridge near the draw a sentry was on duty, and the sentry informed me on the Sunday following the murder, that he was in-side the sentry-box when he heard a sound as though a horse, being ridden swiftly, was approaching, and, hastening outside, was only just intime to see the horse and its rider clear the draw and speed away out of sight. So quickly had the incident passed that the sentry could scarcely convince himself that any one had passed that way. "Shortly after the assasssi nation a man on the streets made the remark: 'He ought tobe killed,' referring to Lincoln. Hardly had the words passed his lips ere he was strung up to a lamp-post near by and would have fared badly were it not for the intervention of an officer of the army." Senator Uayard on Temperance. Baltimore 3jn. In response to a letter from a gentleman of Wilmington, Del., Senator Rayard recently wrote a letter giving expression to his views concerning the pending local option bill now before the Delaware Senate and frohibitory legislation in general. It is as ollows: "1 do not like to intrude my opinions unasked upon members of the Legislature. I agree with you in thinking 'local option laws of very doubtful constitution ality and positive inexpediency. As I understand them they submit a law to popular vote in local districts, and this defeats the principle of our Government, which is representative in its character. and places tue whole law-making power and discretion in the Legislature and not in the people in their more numerical force and primary capacity. If punishment of criminals was adjudged and inflicted by 'local option' instead of through acts of Legislatures, executed by Judges and Juries, it would be held wholly at variance with our theory of government, and yet to apply such a rule to so wide-spread and daily a habit as the use of alcoholic or fermented beverages is, in my judgment, quite as unsafe. So far as my experience goes, a weli-regulated system of licenses, whereby revenue is largely brought into the public tretury, coupled with severe penaltiesfor illicit sale, has proved the most eliicient check uion the abuse of the liquor tramc. In many respects the question is a sumptuary one, and laws attempting to establish sumptuary regulations become inquisitorial and imj)sible of execution, so that in those communities in this country where they have been enacted they have either aggravated the evils they were intended to prevent, or have fallen into contempt and uselessness and been repealed. The statements 1 have seen of the real condition of th(se communities in which total prohibition have been attempted, have impressed me very strongly in confirmation of these views. Personal influence and example and precept, and the recognition or the great truth that intemperance in the use of stimulants of all kinds is a morbid physical fact, both in cause and effect, is, in my judgment, the proper view to commence with. Statistics abundantly prove that the attempted suppression by statutes of the use of alcoholic stimulants is accompanied by an increase in the use of opiates, and that pea drinking being stopped, secret drink-

Ina Ufa. I do not believe any man has a

BTeater bot ror of intemperance than I, and my appreciation of its dangers and evil effects grows with my experience of Luman atlairs,but the graver the evil the more essential to apply the right principle to its cure, and for the reasons I have stated and many others, I hop the experiment of local op tion' will not be tried by tie Legislature, but increased checks on the license system be continued."

The Death Rate. The National Board of Health bulletin for the last week of March shows the general health of the cities of the Tnited States to be good. The death rate per 1,000 in the leading cities is as follows: New Yock, 29.1; "Philadelphia, 23.9; Brooklyn, 3X1; Chicago, 20.9; New Orleans, 39.2; Cinsinnati, 19.6; St. Ixmis, '2G.'i; Cleveland, VXC: Iudianaolis, 27.1. Of Western Cities Richmond, Ind., 28.1; Evansville, 24.2; Peoria. 111.. 19 0; Aurora, 111., 1.5.2; Jacksonville, 111., 23.9; Moline, 111., (.5; Rock Island, III., 2(5.2; Lake, Iii, 3o K; Milwaukee, Wis.. 16.1; Beloit, Wis., 20.1; St. Paul.

In some foreign cities the mortality, in contrast to American cities, is frigh'ful. For instance the Mexican city of Acapulco averaged a death rate pet week, during the month of 139.7. This was the largest death rate reported of any city in the world. San Domingo and Cape Haytien, in Ilayti, stood second to Acapuleos but far below it in the lists. The ofiicial reports from Vera Cruz, Mexico, note twenty-eight deaths from yellow fever during the month of January, and an annual death rate from all diseases of 72.3 per 1,000. Up In a Balloon, Boys. At Nice, France, the other Sunday three men a professional aeronaut, an editor and an army oificer stepped into i balloon and shot upward for one and a half miles. When they left the earth the wind was blowing in from the sea. Having passed through a stratum of clouds the voyagers lost sight of things terrestrial for anhour or more. Then, the clouds breaking beneath them, they saw that they were being borne swiftly over the sex As night was approaching the frightened aeronauts made up their minds to descend among some fishing boats, but the balloon struck the waves some ten miles from the fishermen. For four hours the balloon was dragged about the sea, sometimes plunged in the waves and sometimes lifted above them. In desperation the men clung to the rigging until they were rescued by a steamer that had been sent from Nice to search for them. RESÜ3IE OF THE WEEK'S NEWS. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS ITEMS.
