the autobiographies of
SHERMAN AND
LONGSTREET.
Two autobiographies have been re
trying the attention of newspapers
?*nd literati for the past few days
They have one point of similarity in
that the author of each attacks in
tome manner the reputation of illus
trious men now dead.
The autobiography of John Sherman
s receiving the more attention Just now.
inasmuch as the disclosures of intrigue
in republican politics, is interesting
reading when launched at the zenith of
excitement over a political campaign.
It is doubly interesting when we con
sider that its author has been a prom
inent republican in the pub
lic seivice for forty years. The im
pression is left with the reader of the
advance sheets pertaining to the re
publican national convention of 1880,
that Garfield betrayed Sherman in be
half of himself. We do not believe
this to he true, but admitting that it is,
'the people of the United Slates feel,
no doubt, that they have another
cause for which to admire Gen. Gar
lield, We can conceive of uo more dis
astrous occurrence than one which
would conduce to the election of John
• Sherman as president of the United
States. The Ohio senator has no exact
parallel in our history. Unlike Clay,
Webster, and Blaine, who vainly
1 coveted the presidential chair, Sher
man will have few sympathizers who
will regard his failure of election as a
!national loss. History is very lenient1
in dealing with men. but whether or
’not its leuiency will ignore the methods
•employed by Sherman, and hold him
up to future Generations as the peer of
‘Clay, Webster, and Blaine, is largely
problematical, with indications pre
•ponderaling on the negative.
The autobiography of Gen. Long
street has not been ignored by the
■ press, but the interest in it is of such
a character that it uiay be held in abey
ance in order to take up something
more pressing. Gen. Longstreet, in
his book, attacks the ability of Gen.
Lee Hs a military leader, in general,
and as the commanding general at
‘Gettysburg especially. We have not
read this book, our information com
ing from printed extracts, and shall
•say nothing concerning his futile at
tempt to detract from the glory of the
■great Southern leader.
JEFFEltHON 8 Vm YEUS1TY.
In every part of the United States
there are Read u a tea of the University of
V irginia, and for the matter of that, in
e very part of the world. Many of them
are distinguished in professions, in
business and in society. They are to be
found in the high places of the govern
went, in the universities, colleges and
academics. We hear of them in con
giess, in the forum, at the bar, in the
laboratories, in the pulpits and in the
editorial sanctums. The usefulness of
this university, founded by Thomas
Jefferson, has fully realized the hopes
oi the statesman. Out of it have gone
influences most important as tending
the strengthening of the republic
and the spread «.f that education among
» V'* i*°P|e without which the republic
pould uot have survived. It has been
the perpetual propaganda of the Jeff
fisonian ideas. The burning in large
part of this noble educational institu
tion is a national calamity. That it
should be rebuilt grandly all must agree
Its alumni are numerous enough to
fommand the means, and the tire should

guise. An organization of the alumni

Tiir October number of LippincottV
contains a very excellent suggestion In
regard to good roads, a subject in
which the people of the United states
are very much interested at present
The writer of this article believes that
good thoroughfares, like charity, should
begin at home. “On the day when
each commonwealth,” he says, “nftei
careful and satisfactory tests, unbiased
by bribery, pieferment, or political
affinity and reward, compels by act of
law the laving of whatever kind of
paving is the best for country and city
use—on that day the millenium ma\
be described approaching. Then the
American tally-ho coach will exist in
reason.' because of (and not despite the
lack of) fitting roads along which to
roll its picturesque expanse. Parties
planning pedstrian tours will not have
to cross the seas to find a starting
point for their itinery; country homes
will be more sought for and more en
joyed; and native American will begin
to form an acquaintance with the un
dreamed of beauties of his own land,
based upon something else but snap
shot glimpses from a railroad train,
and deepened into an interest and ad
miration made possible only through
the intimacy begotten of good roads.”
—Ark. Gawtte.
Regarding the mis-statement of
the Searcy Citizen concerning indepen
dent candidate, Col, Hasley is done a
great injustice, unintentionally we
hope. Col. Hasley states "had he a
drop of any other blood in his veins
but Democratic he would let it out.
No stress of circumstance or hanker
ing after office, ne wound from any
tricky combination, even though the
wound he as deep as a well and as wide
as a church door, could ever induce
him to run as a candidate on any
platform other than the straight Dem
i ocratic, nor would he run as an inde
pendent on no platform at all.” Col.
Jim also says "remember the old
axiom “he laughs best who langhs
last.” Give James Hasley a white
man’s chance, give him a primary
election instead of a convention and
Jim Hasley will wind up the laughing
match. Jim Hasley is our next
congressman. Stick a pin in this and
don't forget to say a good word for Jas.
Hasley.”
The Commercial Appeal received
yesterday, with the compliments of H.
A. Martin, Fayetteville, Ark., a box of
as fine apples as were ever seen in Mem
phis. There were several varieties and
all fine specimens of their kind. Several
of them measured over thirteen inches
in circumference. No State in the
Union can compete with Arkansas in
tine apples, and Washington county,
of which Fayetteville is the seat, takes
the lead of the State.—Commercial Ap
peal.
Tfis Atlanta Constitution truthfully
says: “In many respects the exhibit
made by the state of Arkansas has
t>een pronounced the best state exhibit
at the. It is placed in the agricultural
building, where it occupies about 4000
feet. More conspicuous than anything
else are the apples and the sweet poino
iogical scent that pervades the place.
There are apples varying from the size
of an acorn Other features are
equally attractive.
A. K. \\ AKi), who absconded from
Memphis, leaving over a half million
dollars shortage behind,has been locat
ed in Honduras and an officer has gone
to bring him back. He is too danger
ous to be turned loose in any law-abid
ing community and the safest thing to
do is to afford him steady employment
in prison.—Arkansas Democrat.
Static elections will be held in
eleven states on November 5. as follows :
Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
N-*w Jersey, New York, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Mississippi
and Massachusetts. In seven of these
a governor and other state officers will
be chosen
Tiik Camden Herald says: “The
locks and dams for the Ouachita Kiver
are almost iu sight.” We don’t see
any locks for the St. Francis River, but
we bear plenty of dams as to the stage
of the water.
Gov CLakk's ultimatum and the de
cision of ttie Supreme Court will, no
doubt, correct the impression that pu
euisoi in Arkansas is popular or possi
ble.
Tub Little R<>ck Democrat is op
posed to calling out the militia, on the
ground that the Governor is adopting a
fighting man’s method to stop the fight.

fight has resolved itself into gas.
