Residence Burned.—We aie sorry to
learn that the residence of Stephen Jones,
■ Esq., at Nigger Hill, in White county, some
m 40 miles above here, on the bank of White
I river, was destroyed by fire on tike 4th inst.
Loss near $5000. Mr. Jones and family were
absent from home, soiwe 2 miles, at a cele
bration of the 4th, and on their return found
Ibis dwelling and out-houses a heap of smoul
dering ruins. As no fire was left either in the
kitchen or main building, that the family can
recollect, all arc a-t a loss to conjecture how
■the fire originated.
The Board of Ai.dkhmen—The Streets,
Landing, Ac.-^-Is itnot strange that the pres
ent Board of Aldermen have done nothing to
wards grading the streets and public landing?
With available means amounting to near
$3,000, they act as though the people required
nothing at their hands. Already near two
months have passed away, in which they
should have expeuded a portion of the public
funds iu substantial improvements on the
_ streets and steamboat landing. The corpora
B tion now owes the landing near $1000, and
H the law requires that all wharfage shall be
■ expended in improving the steamboat landing.
Property holders arc anxious to pave their
■ side-walks, but the grade has not been desig
nated, neither can it be until the streets are
| improved.
We have urged these improvements at near
| ly every meeting of the Board, and shall con
tinue to do so until our term of office expires.
The Board of Aldermen are in possession of
the peoples’ money, and as honorable men, it
is their duty to resign their places and make
room for others, or do their whole duty in
conformance with their oaths and the trust
committed to their hands. The streets and
!| steamboat landing demand your immediate at
H tention, gentlemen.

I A Cruel, Horrid and Shocking Murder—
; The Headless Body Found!—On Sunday,
the 3rd inst, the remains of a man, without the
head, were discovered in Bayou Des Arc, some
three miles north-west of town, near the farm
of C. W. Smith, Esq. Upon learning the
startling fact, a coroner's jury was summoned
| by II. P. Vaughan, Esq., who proceeded to
: the Bayou, and held an Inquest over the body.
| The deceased bore unmistakcable evidences
i upon his person, in addition to having had the
head separated therefrom, of having been most
brutally murdered. He had been both shot
and stabbed, and some of his ribs were broken.
The body was identified as that of William
O. Randall, who was missed from the house
of F. C. Hicks, who resides in the north-west
portion of town. The deceased had disap
peared on the morning of the 2Sth ult., five
days previous to the recovery of his remains.
Mr. Randall had been a boarder with Mr.
Hicks, and was under medical treatment for
a serious attack of sickness. His disappear
ance was attributed to mental aberration,
caused by the delirium of fever; and he was
searched for in vain by some of his familiar
associates, during three or four days subse
quent to his departure.
We learn from Z. H. Cahill, Esq., that
Mr. Randall has resided on Little Red river, in
White county,during the past eighteen months,
and had been engaged, in partnership with
him, in rafting timber, during most of that
time, which they sold to Col. S. R. Brown,
of Des Arc. Mr. Randall was bom and raised
near Bloomfield, Stoddard county, Missouri,
where his father, William Randall, yet re
sides. Previous to his coming to Little Red
river, he had resided a short time at Poplar
Bluffs, Butler county, Missouri, whence he
broueht a raft of timber to Pocahontas. Ark.
He left some notes for collection in the bands
of merchants at Pocahontas. The deceased
was about twenty-five years of age, and his i
weight one hundred and si?cty-five pounds.
His complexion was light, having sandy hair, 1
very curly.
On learning that Mr. Randall had disap
peared, Mr. Cahill left his home, in White i
county, and arrived here on Monday morning, '
the day after the discovery of the body of the ;
deceased. In company with a number of our i
citizens, he has made most diligent search to :
obtain some trace as to the perpetrator of the
barbarous massacre* but nothing positive has j
yet been developed to unravel the strange
mystery which enshrouds this bloody’ and ter- t
rible deed. *
P. 8. Just as we were making ready to pnt the j
Citizen to press, we received the following a
note from Mr. Smith, dated Wednesday mom- •
ing, July 13: '
Yesterday evening, a portion of a nun’s
head was discovered, by Mr. L. N. Townsend, v
while on the Bayou, in company with some B
ladies. It was a short distance from the spot
where the body was found. The upper part <i
of the head only was discovered* the under a
portion and neck bones are wanting, further r
search will be made to-day.”

'HE OLD-LINE DEKOGSAT:
TO BE PUBLISHED WEEKLY, AT LITTLE
ROCK, ARKANSAS.
'eras—One Copy, One Tear, $150 each,
( Payable on Receipt oj the first JVo.)
I^HE Democracy of Phillips county as
*• sembled in mass meeting, at Helena, on
londay, May 23, 1859, and adopted the fol
swing-resolution:
“ Inasmuch as the Old-Line Democracy of
irkansas have no organ at our State cap
;a 1,—the so-called “ True Democrat” being
wholly subservient to the wishes of certain
oliticiansand regardless of the welfare of the
arty at large—therefore the Chairman of
his meeting is hereby requested to appoint a
ommittee of three Democrats of this county,
rhose duty it shall be to correspond with
Jemocrats throughout the State, asking their
o-operation in the establishment, at Little
lock, of an organ of the Democratic masses,
ledged to maintain State-Rights principles,
o uphold the convention system in its purity,
o oppose all fusions and coalitions, to advo
ate the interests of ths whole party, and to re
nain forever free from the control of any as
drant, clique, or faction.”
The foregoing statements and conclusions
re undeniably correct. The rank and file of
ur party—the “honest, hard-fisted yeoman
y,” who do our voting and win our victories,
without other hope of reward than the coun
ry’s good and the approval of their own con
ciences—have no mouthpeace at Little Rock,
fhe so-called ‘True Democrat’ makes blind
bedience to a clique of office-holders and of
ice-seekers the test of orthodoxy, and dc
lounces as “ traitors” and “ disorganizes”
.11 who would not kiss the feet of those lordly
iristocrats. Yet, while thus arrogantly ex
:ommunicating men who never flinched in the
idvocacy of our principles, who never hesi
ated to sustain our usages, and whose only
in is that they scorn to acknowledge a master,
hat paper itself is edited by an ex-Wbig, ex
Jnow-Nothing, latter-day convert—is the
ipologist of a coalition with our political en
tries—and the defender of the fraudulent ad
nission of Know-Nothing and Disorganizes
nto Democratic conventions!
It is not to be expected that Democrats will
icquiesce in such abuses and submit to such
ntolerable presumption. They cannot do so
without abandoning their ancient landmarks,
■acrificing all their party dignity, and forfeit
ng all their individual self-respect. Hence
he action of the PhiPps Democracy in the
premises. Hence, also, this appeal to every
rood Democrat in the State, to aid in carrying
>ut their suggestion.
The intention is to issue the first number of
Hie Old Line Democrat in August next. Each
'riend of the enterprise is therefore requested
o obtain, immediately, as many subscribers
is possible, on the terms set forth at the be
rinning of this prospectus, and forward the list
without delay, to The Old Line Democrat,
care of James Blackburn, Helena, Arkansas.

A Well Awswebed Question—-The
Brandon (Miss.) Republican asks: “ whai
is the difference between a Yankee vio
lating the fugitive slave law in the North,
and a southern man violating the neutral
ity law and the law against the African
slave trade, in the South ?”
To this question the New York Day
Book responds as follows:
“ All the difference in the world. When
a man violates the fugitive slave law, he
injures his fellow-citizen of the South ;
but when a southern man violates the
slave trade law. he does not injure any
northern man. The one is a practical
question, and the other an abstract one.
The southern man who brings a negro
from Africa injures no northern man ;
but when an ‘underground railroader’
steals a negro from the South, he deprives
a southern man of his property, as guar
antied by the constitution and laws of his
country. Cannot any one see the differ
ence ?”
