Health permitting, we expect to be present.
Colville & Newkirk’s Picture Gallery.
These gentlemen have been doing a fine busi

And why shouldn’t they? They take admi
rable pictures and charge but Fifty Cents.
The ugliest man in town can afford to spend
that amount, just to see how his ugliness
looks when delineated by these artists. The
ladies, bless their souls, should all go and
have their pretty faces .taken. Husbands,
brothers, cousins, lovers, and sweethearts,
can’t grumble at the price. The babies—
there’s enough of them in Des Arc to keep
these gentlemen busy for a month—should all
be taken to the picture gallery, and their
Aothers should be sure not to neglect it, for
these artists say they will only remain here
this week. Their rooms aro up stairs, in the
new building, east of the Nucleus House.
Give them a call. Everybody is invited.

For the Des Arc Citizen.]
Who are the Disorganizes ? .
Ms. Editor :
We hear a good deal said about disorga
nizes. The Johnsons say that those whc
| vote for Judge Rector are disorganizes.
! The reason they give is that Dick John
son is the nominee, and hence those
Democrats who refuse to vote for him are
in open disorganization. Now let us test
their sincerity in Prairie county. Admit,
for sake of argument, that Dick Johnson
was fairly nominated for Governor. John
C. Davie is the Democratic candidate for
the Legislature in this county—Davie is
the nominee of the party. Now, if the
Johnson men vote for Dick Johnson be
cause he is the nominee, ought they not
to vote for John C. Davie because he is
the nominee of the County Convention for
the Legislature? Every sensible man
would say yes; but these Johnson men
say Johnson is the nominee, and we will
vote for him, but if Davie don't vote for
Johnson we will not vote for Davie.
Rector men say we won't vote for
Johnson because his nomination was ob
tained by fraud ; that votes were given
to him in convention which did not belong
to him, and that he neither had a majority
of the party in the State or a majority of
those represented in convention. They
say they will vole for Davie, they don’t
care who lie is for Governor, that it is his
privilege to vote in that election as he
pleases, the action of the State Convention
not being binding. They are for him if
he votes for Rector, they are for him if
he votes for Johnson, because Davie is
the nominee and was fairly nominated.
Now who are the disorganizers ? Is it
not plain that they are the Johnson men ?
Is it not plain they go for the man not for
principles; is it not plain they are trying
to gag every Democrat in the county, and
by raising the cry of disorganization, force
them into the support of Johnson for Gov
ernor, and thereby into an indorsement of
the basest fraud and foulest forgery.
Those Democrats who refuse to support
Johnson do so because his nomination was
obtained by fraud. That has been de
monstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Others refuse to support him on grounds
of morality. It has been asserted of Dick
Johnson, time and again, and the Old
June Uemocrat has published it, that he
was a drunkard ; but these Johnson men
will not recognize any as Democrats who
vote against Johnson because, as they say,
he is the nominee, and fraud, forgery and
intemperance have nothing to do in the
matter. If we don’t wish to be termed
disorganizers we must swallow the fraud
and forgery of the State Convention, and
roil it as a sweet morsel under our
tongues, and indorse drunkenness, and
say to tho world intemperance is no evil;
the Democratic party don’t regard it as
such, the party has indorsed Dick John
son, we are Democrats, its no harm to get
tight.
Now, if these Johnsons are such stick
lers for conventions, why don't they go for
Davie without and ifs and ands ? They
take Johnson with the frauds and forge
ries of the State Convention, and with his
intemperate habits. Davie is also the
nominee—no cry of fraud or forgery has
been raised against his nomination, and
no word can be said against him as a
man. His nomination was a fair one;
Johnson's was not. They take Johnson
because hp was the nominee ; ought they
not to take Davie too, because he was
nominated fairly, and there has been no
complaint of his nomination? Oh, no!
they won’t take Davie unless he will sup
port Johnson. Now, are they not disor
ganizers? Do they not assume a ridicu
lous position, and show clearly that they
are for the man, caring nothing for prin
ciple? Is not the presumption strong
that they are of the “collar men ?”

“Uncle Sam” is not behindhand, judging
from the number of howitzers, rifles,

: a petition to be filed by me in said court foi
; that purpose. JESSE A. BUGARD,
! jv2'-6t By Williams & Martin, Solicitors
To the People ef Prairie Countv.
Mr. Douglas, Wm. J. Rogers’ candidate for
County and Prohate Judge, also Rogers’ part
ner in land speculation, has revived the old
falsehood in relation to my agency in closing
the Court House against preaching therein.
Feli.ow Citizens: See how a plain state
ment of facts dispel a cloud of electioneering
falsehoods. I am a member of the Christian
Church, Wm. Hendricks is a member of the
Baptist Church, Charles Hallums a member of
the Methodist Church. We three constituted
the County Court at the July term 1857, when
it is said by Wm. J. Rogers and Mr. Douglas,
Rogers’ candidate for County and Probate
Judge and also his partner in land speculation,
that an order was made by the Court closing
the Court House against preaching therein,
(I say that no such order ever was made by
the Coifrt at anytime.) Can it be supposed for
one moment that Wm. Hendricks, Charles Hal
lums and myself would oppose preaching in
the Court House as a distinct and separate pro
position. Yet say my opposers, we should have
let in preaching, even if fiddling, dancing,
shows, &c., slipped in also. Do the citizens of
Prairie County wish to sec the Court House
turned into a ball room, or see a strolling jug
gler performing his slight of hand tricks in the
Court House.. What has been the result. A
Mr. HoweB taught a fiddling school in the
Court House, Judge Rogers was one of his pu
pils, and took a very active part in making up
Mr. Howell a fiddling school ; just think of it
fellow citizens, your County and Probate
Judge, and also a leading member in the Meth
odist Church going to a fiddling in the Court
House, this can be explained in a few words.
Judge Rogers sold Mr. Howe!! a quarter sec
tion of land, and took it all out in fiddles and
fiddling. Now to make a market for his fid
dles some young fiddlers must be raised up;
still more, there has been several fellows com
monly styled Dogtype takers held forth and
took pictures in the Court House, and one of
them, I am credibly informed kept open doors
and took pictures on the Lords Day; still more,
there has two or more magic lantern shows
exhibited in the Court House. Mr. Douglas,
Judge Rogers’ candidate, says he ought to be
elected County and Probate Judge, because I
would not open the Court House in opposition
to the expressed wishes of the citizens that
were in Brownsville at the July term of the
County Court of 1857, and also the expressed
opinions of my two associates in holding the
County Court at said July term of 18S7. Mr.
Douglas says that he would open the Court
House if every citizen in the county was op
posed to it, this and his profound legal knowl
edge, that so pre-eminently qualify him to dic
tate to the people of Prairie County is all that
he offers on the score of qualification to fill
the office of County and Probate Judge. As to
my qualifications I leave for the people to de
cide, having discharged the duties of the office
two years. Mr. Douglas is a young lawyer ;
has been in the State but a little over two
years ; he has put up his shingle to practice
law, that shingle may he stuck upr in some
other county or State within one month ; again,
being a lawyer will he not he disposed to help
his brother lawyers by withholding orders,
thereby compelling those that have business in
the County and Probate Courts to employ law
yers ; again, what interest has he among us ;
how is he indentified with the county. Now
let us turn to another place of the Court House
preaching, at the October term of the County
Court 1858, as I am credibly informed, R. T.
Gantt, Esq., and Dr. W. Harris, asked the
County Court to make an order allowing the
Protestant Methodist to hold there conference
and preach in the Court House. Did they make
the order, they did not, but Mr. King offered
the house for them upon his own responsibility.
Fellow Citizens, my apology for using Mr.
Rogers’ name in this communication, is that
Mr. Rogers’ made so much capital out of the
Court House preaching falsehood, and is now
trying to move heaven and earth with the same
old tale, to elect his candidate and partner in
land speculation, Mr. Douglas, to the office of
County and Probate Judge. I have been con
fined to my home and most of the time to my
bod by sickness, which prevented me from vis
iting you at the speaking. Iam recovering but
am yet too feeble to go around the county.—
See cammunication below of Dr. W. Harris.
J. L. HUNT.
[cory.J
Brownsville, July 12, 1860.
Dr. W. Harris, Sir: The old falsehood in
relation to my agency in having the Court
House closed against preaching therein, is
again raised by Mr. Douglas, for the purpose
of injuring my election to the office of County
and Probate Judge.
As you was Commissioner of Public Build
ings and had the oversight of the Court House
while it was being built, you will please make
a full statement through the Prairie Democrat
and lies Arc Citizen of ail the facts in rela
tion to me closing or saia nouse against jireacn
ing, dancing and shows, &c., by so doing you
will much oblige yours,
J. L. HUNT.
Brownsville, Ark., July 14, 1860.
James L. Hunt, Esq: Your letter of th»
12th instant has been received. I regret being
called on for a statement in the controversy :
my position as Commissioner to some extent
compelled me to hear and know what was said
and done in most things pertaining totheerec
tion of the Court House. To be called on ant
made a witness of, in refutation, or, substan
tiation of electioneering hobbys, is to say the
least, unpleasant; yet, as I am called on, com
mon justice dictates the propriety of giving:
my recollections on the subject.
At a called term of the County Court, May
26th, 1860, as Commissioner, I made severs
suggestions to the Court proposing alterations
one was that the space between the rooms oi
the 2nd floor be so arranged as to be closed by
shutters, as, without, the Court room could no
be protected from cold at the fall terms of thi
Circuit Court, and further, that the Cour
House should be kept for Courts, State am
County purposes, exclusively, for if you per
mit preaching to one class of our citizens, il
is only fair to let another class dance, and as i
natural consequence in will come fiddling
schools, picture takers, lecturers and 'hows
the Court made the order to close the apertun
as proposed, no order tvai made closing thi
house when completed against anything, but
the members of the Court as individuals, weri
also of opinion that the Court House sbouli
be kept for county purposes.
At the July term 1857 of the County Court
the Court House was completed as far as M
D. Cheek’s contract extended, was ready fo:
use and was received by the Court. The ques
tion was sprung, by whom I do not recollect
shall the Court House be kept exclusively fo
county purposes, or, will preaching, fiddling
and dancing, shows, &c. be allowed. The Cour
took the subject under advisement until afte
dinner, ir. the meantime requested all the citi
zens in town to meet the Court after dinner
at this meeting, the members of the Court a
individuals, asked the opinion of the meeting
on the subject. If my memory serves me right
it was a unanimous voice for closing the housi
against everything that was not for State am
County purposes, in the meeting, the member
of the Court expressed no opinion on the sub
ject that I heard, their object seemed to be, ti
iearn the wish of the citizens. Mr. Englam
was requested to see that the Court room wa
kept shut up. Ir there was any action takei
by the Court, as a Court I am ignorant of it
Mr. England told me there was no ordsr mad
on the subject, I have examined the records
forsnch an order twice, and find none.
You ask me to publish my answer in the
Prairie Democrat and DoS Arc Citizen, was 1
to comply, it might be construed hy some ai a
manifestation o£ a disposition to take part in
the controversy, than which, nothing can be
further from my wishes, or intentions. I have
given the attending circumstances as I recol
lect them, and believe the statement substan
tially true. I will conclude by placing this
letter at your disposal, to make what use of it
you please.
Respectfully,
VV. HARRIS.
