T. F. Greek & Bao’s., Livery Stable.—
Wo invite a perusal of the advertisement of
this Stable in our columns this week. The
proprietors have resided in Des Arc “these
many years,” and not to know Tom and Harv.
Greer, and the fact of their acknowledged
industry, and close attention to business, is
equal to admitting that ycu are a “stranger
in a strange land ” Their stable is large and
commodious—admirably located on the corner
of a block, adjacent to the Public Square,
where they have an abundance of provirider
and plenty of room to shelter, not cnly horses,
mules, &c., but carriages, buggies and other
vehicles from the inclemency of the weather
and the hot rays of the ssn. The truth is.
their Stable is one of the “fixed institutions.”
and they want every body to know it. “Let
it be did.”
Man Hulled.— In Lagrue townships on
■Sunday last, 19th inst., Mr. J. E. Featherst.on
was shot and killed by his brother-in-law, Mr.
'B. F. Mayberry—both men of high standing,
.and much respected. The cause, of this ailair
■which has terminated so fatally for one, we
learn was an old feud which existed between
them. The remains of Mr. Featherston were
interred in the graveyard rear town by the
Masons of the Brownsville Lodge. The
ceremony of burial was very affecting. May
berry is at large.—[Brownsville Echo, 25th

New Law Firm.—Messrs. J. V/. Martin

Mr. Simpson is from Florence, Alabama, and

News Depot. — Win. B. Locke has opened
a “News Depot,” at “Jo.’s Restaurant,” one

house, where he is prepared to accommodate
customers with the latest paperB, cheap pub
lications. and a general variety of articles
usually found at similar establishments. Who
says Des Arc is not prograssing?
Masonic.—The Memphis Enquirer urges
the erection of a Masonic Temple in that
city, at the earliest possible tame,aim aims im
following:
The triennial session of the Grand Chap
ter of Royal Arch Masoffs’, and the Grant
Commandery of Knight Templars of the Uni
ted States was held in Chicago last September
The meeting was adjourned to meet in Mem
phis in 1802. This resolution did not pass
however, without great effort on the part o
Col. M. S. Ward, of Panola, Miss., and otli
ers. The influence brought to bear by th
New York, Boston, Louisville, St. Louis, anc
Richmond delegations, as well as others, wa
very strong in favor of its being holden ii
their respective cities. But it was strong];
urged by Col. Ward that the session had neve
been held farther South than Lexington, Ky
that it had. in fact, never vet been reall
held at the South, that is, in the cotton grow
ing regions, and that therefore it was m
more than simple justice to their Souther
brethren that the next triennial session b
held at some point in the South, and Memphi
was designated as the place, Of course Col
Ward’s honor and the character of our cit
is somewhat at stake, for he assured that bod.
that they would here have the same facilitie
they would enjoy elsewhere, and that he wa
confident, judging from the enterprise o
Memphians in almost everything else tha
such a temple as they needed would beerecte
here within the intervening time. We hop
the members.of this time honored institutio
will interest themselves in this enterprise.
We feel quite certain that our citizens woul
contribute liberally of their means for such
purpose.

the Crescent city. The steamers Eclipse,

driven from their moorings at the wharf, and
all more or less injured. The Grosse Tete
while coming down the river was also severe

the city, at Algiers, were also injured. The
Delta estimates the damage to steamers alone

The True Position of the Douglasites.
1. They maintain that the Supreme
Court of the United States did not decide,
in the Dred Scott case, that a Territorial
Legislature possesses no power to ex
clude slavery.
2. That the question of the power of a
Territorial Legislature to exclude slavery
is a “judicial question.”
3. That the Territorial Legislature
may lawfully exclude slavery from the
Territory.
4. That unless the Charleston Conven
tion shall endorse tire doctrine that the
people of a Territory have the right,
through a Territorial Legislature to ex
clude slavery, Mr. Douglas cannot accept
the Charleston nomination.
5. That if “popular sovereignty” is
not endorsed they will not vote for the
nominee. .
Here is a bundle of the inconsistencies
in the Douglas programme never before
attempted. If the question is a purely
judicial question and has never yet been
decided, why do they seek to force such a
question on the people. What have the
people in their political capacity, to do
with a judicial question ?
If the Supreme Court have not decided
the question, and it is one for their decis
ion pureiy, how many Charleston conven
tions will it take to settle that judicial
question. If Douglas cannot accept a
nomination with any other construction,
and the Supreme Court should decide
adverse to that construction, where would
they stand?—[Springfield (Ill.’s) Demo

Mr. Graham, the mail contractor
between Corpus Christi and Brownsville,
who has been detained at the latter place
since the commencement of the Cortinas
troubles, relieved the anxiety of his
friends by a safe return to Corpus, a few
days ago. He reports that in his efforts
to keep up the mail liue on his route, he
has lost near forty head of horses, with
saddles, bridles, etc., which were taken
by Cortinas’ band. He also reports to
the Hancuero that Gortinas yet has small
parties on this side of the Ilio Grande,
scouring the country and stealing cattle.
All the American ranchos between
Brownsville and Rio Grande City had
been burned, and the stock driven off.—

The free negroes who have re

' or not she will admit them. They com

date to represent the people of Prairie Coun
ty, in the next Legislature of the State of Ar

And whilst responding to the call made pub

political friends why have privately written
and talked to me upon the subjectj by not ex
pressing my sincere thanks for the kind con
sideration they have taken of my ability to
discharge the duties devolving on a candidate
for the Legislature, as well as the responsi
bility of a legislator.
These matters are left with you, to deter
mine in the Democratic County Convention,
which I presume will soon be held, to nomi
nate your choice for Representative, and in
that event 1 have no doubt the Democracy of
the county will he satisfied. I, for one, will
abide cheerfully by their action, whatever it
may be.
