The Arkansas Trouble.
The .Vcrlh Jlmtrican talks of the
Arkansas trouble in tbe following man
ner: It SiDit of course be true thai
"there is a right and a wrong involved
m every human quarrel ; but some
times both parties to a quarrel apf ear
to be in the wrong. Iu such cases tbe
wrong thoroughly ec ipso tbe little
point of ri-lit. This occupation may
be observed almost any day when two
or more ba;k-all?y bullie. or pugna
cious school -boys pull hair au4 pum
mel each other as a mode of adjusting
their little differences of opiriou Such
battles are always interesting from one
point of view. That is to say, the
spectator looks on uucoucerued, cot
being able to sympathize with cither
party. That pretty nearly defines the
struggle iu Arkansas. Masters Baxter
nd Brooks, or Brooks and Baxter
for is it is a question of precedence it
will not do to gire either first mention
to the exclusion of tbe other are at
loggerheads about sometning, which for
conscience sake, let us call the honor of
administering the affairs of Arkansas.
There may be a right and a wrong in
volved in tbe dispute. That may be
admitted on general principles. But it
bears at this distance, and under the
strongest light et shed upon the quar
rel, a very close resemblance to one of
those personal squabbles in which tbe
wrong altogether eclipses the trifling
right. Arkansans divide their sympa
thies with -the coutestants ; outside ob
servers have no sympathy with cither,
Anj
but a healthy contempt for both
ly interest really felt in the mat-
. ....
the on
ter br the nation at Iarra is that the
disgraceful fisticuff may result in the
destruction of both parties. If it shall
end as happily as the falling out be
tween the famous Kilkenny cats ended,
the people of this country will be very
much grat.fied.
Heroic treatment in the matter of
such political distemper is cot much in
our way as a people. We proceed up
on tbe principle that these differences
will 6ettle themselves if loft alone.
The principle is iu some respects saund,
though it involves disgraceful scenes
and occasionally something more tragic
than disgrace. Admitting the geneial
soundness of the principle, it is still
quite probable that were public senti
ment carefully polled just at this time,
it would almost unanimously favor the
hanging of the lea Jits in tbe Arkansas
quarrel. That would be heroic treat
ment. Tbe spectacle would be highly
edifying. It would save an immense
deal of trouble and bloodshed in tbe
future. Once establish tbe rule that
armed struggle to further the ambitious
projects of individuals involves forfeit
ure of life to the parties, and such af
fairs Will become rare. Nor would such
a rale repress tbe heroism which impels
men to resist wrong and injustice. It
would sot up a distinction between con
tests to main order and contests which
rank no higher than wanton breaches of
public peace. In Arkansas the true
arena of the contest was in the courts;
and there is no rational doubt enter
tained by anybody that tbe courts wers
entirely competent to deal with it ; or
at worst it could only have been trans
ferred to the Legislature. There was
law enough either in the statute books
or in the U mstuutinu to settle the dif
ference between tbe parties. But it
seems to be a fact that once west of the
Mississippi river confidence in law
seems to fall off very rapidly. Kven if
red-Landed murderer be convicted
and sentenced to Lang, the people sel
dom permit the authorities to execute
the sentence. If a man is found with
a hoise and cannot show a formal bill
of sale confirmatory of title, be is
lucky if be docs not eud his career on
limb of the nearest tree. Law and
legal proceedure are regarded with
something like universal distrust west
of the Mississippi. Of course there
must be some rational explanation of
this want of respect for and confidence
in law. It will be found iu the history
of the settlement of those formerly
''border communities." It was ouce
fashion', le for a class of citizens to
weary out the patience and forbear
ance of civilized communities and then
put as many miles of wilderness be
tween them and civilization as suited
their purposes. Sucb exiles were not
alwsys altogether bad ; but when the
advancing tides of civilization carried
bonest pioneers into such remote local
ities these refugees were found in pos
session, and in numbers sufficient to
seriously Effect subsequent social aud
civil conditions. From thia untoward
beginning proceeded tbe numerous
biood of ills which afflicts the couth
aud Bouthwest.
The present trouble in Arkansas is,
pure aud simple, rampant demagoga'sy.
Baxter, it is said, was elected by tie
Republicans. Since bis election he is
charged with tbe political crime of
throwing bis own party overboard and
allying Limself to the Democracy.
Brooks, on the other band, was the
Democratic candidate against Baxter.
After his defeat he is charged with
throwing bis party overboard, if that
were possible, and allying himself to
the Republicans. Here are, apparent
ly, two revolutions in individual politi
cal relations. Bat it is ouly in appear
ance. Both men stood just where they
stood during tbe campaign. But as both
are arrant demagogue their present
Neither is of one pi tjr or the other,
Each is for himself. It is a humilia
ting spectacle. Two worthless political
trader, driving bargains for their own
aggrandizement, seem to have each a
sort of following. And, between the
two, the true interests of the State of
Arkansas are put in jeopardy. Cue
collision has already occurred, in which
the unfortunate colored citizen seems to
have borne the chief loss. Tbe colored
citizens of Arkansas and elsewhere can
do bettir. Tbey can leave white dem
agogues to quarrel out their own quar
rel out their own quarrels, and bleed
and die (which they are not fond of
doing) if need be in behalf of their own
se.Ssh ecds.
There is evil in the Republican par
ty, as there is in tbe Church, and in
society, and in the family, and as there
is in all orgamzatioos'of human origin.
j But shall good men therefore abandon
the Church, invite anarchy, and break
up the foundations of tbe family T Such
a prescription is chimerical and ridicu
lous, and the men who stood shoulder
to shoulder with you in the great and
grand works accomplished by tbe Re
publican party, are certainly worthy of
your confidence and fellowship in the
matter of electing officers for city,
county, and State government. Indian'

A Cure for Htdrophobia. The
Salut Public of Lynns says Dr. Buis
on claims to have discovered remedy
for this terrible disease, and to have
applied it with complete success in
many cases. In attending a female pa
tient in tbe last stage of canine mad
ness, tbe Doctor imprudently wiped bis
hands with a handkerchief impregnated
with the saliva. There happened to be
a slight abrasiou on the index finger of
the left band, and coufident in bis own
curative system, the Doctor merely
wasLed the part with water. Ho was
fully aware, however, of tbe impru
dence he bad committed, and gives tbe
following account of the matter after
ward : " Believing that tbo malady
would not declare itself until the for
tieth day, aud having various patients
toisit, I put off from day to day the
application of my remedy that is to
say, vapor bath.'. The moth day, being
in my cabinet, I felt all at once a pain
in my eyes. My body felt so light that
1 felt as if I could jump to a prodi
gious height, or if thrown out of win
dow I could sustain myself in the air.
My bair was so sensitive that 1 appear
ed to be able to count each separately
without looking at it. Saliva kept con
tinually forming in my mouth. Any
movemeut of air caused great pain to
me, and was obliged to avoid the sight
of brilliant objects. I had a continual
desire to bite not bninan beings, but
animals, and all that was near me. 1
drank with difficulty, and I remarked
that the sight of water distressed me
more than the pain in my throat 1
believe that by shutting the eyes any
one suffering from hydrophobia can al
ways drink. The fits came on every
fire miuutes, and I then felt the pain
start from the index finger and run up
the nerves to the shoulder. In this
state, thinking that my course was pre
servative, not curative, 1 took a vapor
bath, not with the iutention of cure,
but of suffocating' myself. When tbe
bath was at the heat of 52 centigrade
(93.3.5 Fareubeit), all the symptoms
disappeared as if by magic, and since
then 1 bave never felt anything more of
them. I bave attended more than
eighty persons bitten by mad animals,
aud 1 have not lost a single one."
When a person is bitten by a mad
dng, be must for seven successive days
take a vapor bath "a la Russe," as it
is called of 57 to 63 degrees. This
is a preventive remedy. A vapor bath
may be quickly made by potting three
oi four red hot bricks in a bucket or
tub of water, and let the patient sit
over it on a cane bottomed or willow
chair, enveloped in a large blanket, for i
fifteen or twenty minutes. When tbe ;
disease is declared, it ouly requires one j
vapor bath, rapidly increasing to 37 j
centigrade, then slowly to 53, and the
patient must strictly cut) line himself in
his chamber until the cure is complete.
Virginia, aped between five and six
years, daughters of William Berrybiil,
residing on South Main street, was sadly
scalded on Wednesday momiug. Iler
mother had just filled a tub standing
on the floor with boiling water, ic prep
aration for washing some clothing, for
which she went into another apartment,
leaving Virginia seated on the floor
playing with her doll iu a toy wagon, in
another part of the room. During her
temporary abseccu on this errand tbe
child aro.e and commenced drawing the
wagon, walking backwards until it came
in contact with the tub in this position,
where it lost iis equilibrium and fell
into the still boiling water. Its screams
brought the mother instantly, but not
ia time to avert the fearful scalding it
suffered in its fall. The child was able
to get out of tbe cauldron before the
mother reached it, but was so terribly
scalded that it is hardly expected to
survive its injuries. Levnstotcn Senti

The following is the sentence that
Judge Dean pronounced on A. L. Guss,
of tbe Huntingdon Globe, for libel :
It is certainly a matter of regret to
be called npon to pats sentecce, for vio
lation of the law, on gentleman of
your intelligence, but the offense for
which yon bave been indicted and con
victed, is one which bas been, so far as
we are able to learn and ascertain from
the facts on the record in this Judicial
District, and outside of it, pnnisbed by
tbe Court, with more severity in all in
stances, where tbe libel waa that of
private a citizen. Wbile prosecutions
have been instituted for libel because
of political controversy and conviction
bad aud no severe sentence imposed
upon tbe parties, because of political
license, yet we bave not been able to
learn of a case where severe sentence
was not imposed when the libel was
thai of a private citizen. It is consid
ered gentraliy an aggravated offense.
In your case we bave not the least
doubt you were smarting tinder what
you considered the grossest indignity.
We bave no doubt of the provocation,
but whether the parties accused were
guilty or innocent of the offense, the
law atill protecti a private citizen from
disgrace and the innocent members of
his family frjoi shame, and visits with
punishment the party who libels him.
As in tbe case of the Commonwealth vs.
Meeser of Philadelphia, and of Reese,
iu our county, five or six years ago,
where for the simple writing of a letter,
Judge Taylor sent the defendant to jail
six months, so in all casej of this kind.
We do not hesitate to say, from our
own knowledge cf the condition of af- j
fairs in this county being in the habit
of reading the public prints generally i
i . .- ' 1
every w?ea mat me panics nere are
engaged in grossly libelling eachotber,
and private citizens, and have been for
months ; and (be other parties are jnst
as liable to prosecution as yon are, and,
so far as this Court is concerned will
meet with precisely tbo same punish
ment. We have no hesitation in say
ing that, without distiuction of partius
or persons, we will punish those wbo
commit these gross libels on private
character, wheu convicted of tha of
fense. There are many things in your case
which incline ns to a lenient sentence,
among them is tbe fact that yon stop
ped the publication of that article, aud
suppressed it after a knowledge of the
denial of those parties ; aud were it not
for the denial of those parties ; . and
were it not for th: cases of Luther Rex
and Rindlaub, and the copy sent to
Prof. Wickersham after tbe agreement
there would have been nothing which
would have indicated to the Court a
disposition on your part to send tbe
libel out j bnt here were three positive,
distinct and actual publications after
th3 prosecutor bad informed yon that
he was not the author ; and in view of
the nature of the libel and the charges
made, and the position of the party
libelled that of a private citizen, a
man, so far as known to this Court, of
rtspectablc character, and with a fam
ily, we cannot do otherwise than im
pose tbe sentence we do, which is that
you pay a Cue of $150, to thj county,
for the use of the Commonwealth, aad
the costs of prosecution, aud undergo
an imprisonment in tao County Jail for
tbe term uf forty days.
