gailg Republican. jobx e. rsret, Bator •FFirliL JOURNAL OF THE STATE. LITTLE ROCK: Thttnday Morning, Dec. 14, 1871. Brothkr Brooks aay* that General Grant is in favor of universal suffrage and univer aal amnesty. Wt suppose this assertion is mads for the pnrpose of showing that Brother Brooks and Genera! Grant are on the same platform. Now, what »re want to know is whether Mr. Brooks will advocate and support the renotninetion and election of General Grant as president; and, if not, why? __ It may be interesting to our readers to learn that one of the leaders of the democ racy for the past ten years (Tweed) is now to be turned ont of the democratic Tammany ring—not especially for stealing, but because he was caught in the act. Thk South Carolina Kuklux are confess ing their sins_ The leading lawyers of the democratic party havo been engaged, and it was too clear a case to get over. They plead guilty to conspiracy, in trying to deprive citiaana of the right to vote, and other crimes. The point in these confessions is the fact that the entire democratic press have atnrdily denied the existence of the Kuklux; and as it is now confessed by members of their own party, that the violations of law and the murders have been committed under the democratic leaders of the south, they now change their tune and sue for mercy. Thia ia democratic statesmanship. Thebe is s trial now progressing at An- Bapolis, Maryland, which goes very far to prors the doctrine of "total deprarity,” so often quoted by some of our divines. Sirs. Wharton, who is accused, is a widow lady of good repute, fashionable and well to do in life. But, from some cause—dress, gambling or miserable financiering—she gets into a debt of $2,800 to a gentleman named Ketchum; and as sho could not conveniently pay the debt, sho roncluded to poison hitn. She purchased tartar emetic, gave him the dose, and he died very suddenly. She then tried to poison a gentleman named Van Ness, who was aware of the existence of the debt. But Van Ness had a wife who was as sharp as the Whsrton lady, and Mrs. Wharton failed to kill Van Ness, although the dose made him very sick. The trial, as it now progresses, shows conclusively that Mrs. Wharton is guilty of poisoning General Ketchum. and that his death is attributable to her administration of tartar emetic. The jury, at last accounts, had not rendered a verdict. TIE WATIOXAL BOARD OS' TRADE. The national board of trade is supposed to be composed of members of every state in the union, and mercantile gentlemen here meet and discuss tho relative merits of dif ferent staples, and the comparative valuo of sections of the nation, and the best methods to aid each other and their respective states, together with their exchanges and branches hnnrtl mpt. XliCttlitlu. At from Netv England, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and the Atlan tic Coast. But tho state of Arkansas does not appear to have been rep resented. Can the chamber of com merce inform us whether the state of Arkansas was represented or not? and il represented, can they tell us what the rep resentative accomplished in the way ol making known to the public the fertile soil the valuable minerals, and the various op. portunities for profitably investing capital in this stste? Wo should feel pleased tc hear that the state was about to receive an accession of immigrants, or an increase oI capital, and we would be pleased to knew whether Arkansas merchants are aware ol the advantages arising from the national board of trade. If wo are not incorrectly informed, there were resolutions offered di rectly pertaining to the welfaro of every citizen of this state, and yet, we fail to Ioarr whether any gentleman from this state was ready to deny or affirm assertions which might have been made by those who were present. As to a matter which would seem to acquire a compromise between the late as sertions of the Gazette and a Mr. Wetherill, (not of Arkansas, but of Philadelphia.) we copy a portion of the report to the Louis ville Ledger. toe resolution proposed at the last annuel meeting, asking congress to guarantee bonds laauad by the atatea ol Loulatana, Mississippi and Arkansas to the aggregate amount of $100,000,000, for the purpose of defraying the •gpenaea of leveeing the banka of the Mi.sls alppl river, within tbelr limits, was taken up nod dlacuaaed at considerable length by Wit llam M. Burwell, of New Orleans; Monroe, of Dubuque; Opdyke. of New York; WVtherill. «f Philadelphia; Edward Atkinson, of Boston, and others. The original resolution was amended so as to levy a tax on the counties within the llmltaproposed to be reclaimed. Mr. Wetberlll said the state of Arkansas was pledged already to a debt of eleven millions of dollars, nod he was opposed to saddling them with an additional debt of dve millions. Leary Sbylcck, of St. Louis, said the ques tion, ultimately, was this: That not only should the states of Arkansas anil Mississippi be redeemed from the loss caused by the war, but the whole country should be benefltted. when the government can see herself clear, she ought to step forward and grant her aid In producing the great etaple of these state. Mr. Atkinson, of Boston, said he had learned that this was not an act of private beneficence, ■or to help In the navigation or the Mississippi river, but an act to put the government Into the oottoo business. It was a question among scientific men whether the system of levees was the right system to pursue; whether It did not tend to fill up the mouth of the river, and ob struct navigation. He therefore moved to strike out all that portion of the resolution that re *be bonds, so as to ask the assistance of congress, whenever these states shall be reedy to proeeed with this work. Mr. Stanard. of 8t- Louis, did not doubt tbst navigation will be benefit! d by the construc tion of these leveee. Cotton, sugar, rice, and the other staples of that country cannot be raised to as good advantage In other portions of the south as on these lands, which are proposed t* be reaiaimtd, and which were reclaimed be faro the war. Mr. Opdyke, of New York, thought congress woe justified la aaelstlng in the construction of those leveee by the present state of the case, sTsminl uair°ra> P**1 conduct of the gov Mr- Mopes, of Boston, thought there was ■emetblng monstrous in the overflow of these arevseeee, but did not believe the enterprise Itillllitd such a national character that the board could bring it before the government. How it anemias if the repreientativo from AHranetg should have had something to say about this slats; sad wo feel inquisitive to _boow whether anything is expected to be oyster condition, and allowing the entire press of the nation to repeat the slanders about our state credit, and wo respectfully call the attention of our merchants to this subject, in order that public enterprise may not be retarded by false impressions abroad. m POSTAL TELEGRAPHY. A subject is now before congress which will rovolutionixe (for the bettor, we hope, and we do not think it can bo worse) the ontiro telegraph system of the United States. The proposition is to purchaso tho telegraph lines now owned by the different companies, and run them under government super vision. In other words, to conduct tho sys tem of telegraphing in much the same man ner that the mail system is now conducted, and with a much reduced rate for messages. The proposition is to buy out the present telegraph companies and pay a sum various ly estimated at from $70,000,000 to $200, (00,000 for the lines now in use, and for every United States telegraph office to be connected in the future with the postoflice. The idea is a good one but to purchase the telegraph lines at the value estimated by tho present companies, who own tho mo nopoly, would, it seems to us, be precisely similar to purchasing a road animal at a jockey's valuation and, while we are in favor of the postal telegraph system as a matter of public benefit, we should oppose the gigantic sum to bo paid for lines which the government could build for a third of the money. There aro other objectionable features to tho postal telegraph system as now brought forward, and which wo have not yet seen stated by any of the press. This is the fact, that tho so-called “telegraph poles” on which tho wires are hung, are simply a nuisance and stupidly ludicrous. The poles now in existence aro long, ungainly sticks of cedar, cypress or pine, and aro blown j down by every storm of wind or rain, and certain to eventually fall over or be shattered by lightning, or warpeil out of the earth by the frest. Our idea of a government postal telegraph system would hardly depend upon the pres ent system of long poles stuck into the ground; but we should approve an iron foundation for a socket, perhaps, and sur mounted by a well finished shaft of wood' protected from the weather (by some method of carbolizing, or other wood preserving process,) and also protected from the light ning. After this, we would wish to see an ex amination of character and education for the position of reporter, or for the post-tcl egraph officer. We arc tired of witnessing the utter ignorance and stupidity of press dispatches sant over the wires by some irre sponsible party, who is foisted upon the public without the slightest regard to his fitness or his capability. We oppose ignorance in every form. We believe it would bo cheaper for government to build the lines, and employ the operators during good behaviour, and have them in the con dition of the army and navy—a corps of government employes without partisan ten dencies; and we feel assured that, sooner or later, this must bo the method to be pur sued, to have successful working of the system of postal telegraphy. <*nmirr ormroTinnUf emits PRESUTS Everybody Wants One rjllll PLACE TO FIND THEM 19 AT THE CHINA STORE -OF— DAVIS WALTER, W ho have now on hand, and are constant! v receiv in* a beautiful assortment of Christmas Goods, which will be sold cheap, consisting of CHINA ANI) GLASS TOILET SETS, MANTEL SETS, VASES AND COLOGNE BOTTLES, CARD BASKETS, PARIAN MARBLE AND TERRA COTTA STATUETTES, CHINA AND LAVA SMOKE SETS, BRACKETS, ETC.
