BATESVILLE GUARD Franko.deuton, editor, THURSDAY, SEPT. 18th, 1879- Rev. G. N. Maxwell, of Wood tuff county, has been carrying on a big meeting of the Concord Church, at the Gum Hill school-house, in White River township. A number of conversions were made, and many members added to the church. Much good has been done. *^*e It is reported that petitions are being circulated in this. Izard and Sharp counties, praying His Excel lency Gov. Miller to extend executive clemency to Joseph Kemp. All law abiding citizens should desire to see the laws enforced ; without an enforce ment of all forms of law, no citizen can feel safe and secure in person and property. .Evil-disposed persons must be made to understand that all violators of the laws shall be punished. He who halts in the line of duty is a traitor, and lie who wavers in the work of harmony and success is a dis organizer ; piivate and personal friendships should for the time be for gotten ; all discordant elements ; all conflict of prejudice and dislike should be buried in the sea of defeat ; then, and only then, can that har mony that gives certain success be as ■'red. The brand of condemnation ought to be deep burned open al) who participate in political gatherings, and failing thereat to secure either their first choice or to defeat their dis like, who then prove themselves traitors by bolting the action, had thereby foreboding deteat of thecause they claimed to hold sacred by such dissatisfaction, promising a victory to the common enemy. It has always been held that be who deserts his colors or faith is a traitor, and this bolds good in poli tics, an! is as true as in any other path of duty or calling. COTTON BAISEBS. The State Fair offers 8125 as a premium for the best bale of cotton— bottom or upland—and 850 as the premium for the second best. Why not have Independence to get one or the other of those awards ? E2-BEBEL ASSOCIATION. Years are now beginning to tell on the men who took part in the mighty struggle for Southern Independence, and the effect is seen in the great re vival in the movement of forming confederate survivors’ associations. The movement has never been so general as during the present year, and we may safely predict that it will con tinue with increasing vigor until all the survivors are enrolled. Old sol - diers like to fight their battles o’er again, and that enjoyment can never be so fully realized as in the company of those who shared the same dangers and privations, and can recall the same scenes and the same emotions. The old men of the army are already in great part dead ; the middle-aged have become old ; the young middle aged. A quarter of a century hence —. Let us meet and remember while we may ; it is a pleasure for which we have paid.— Charleston, (S. C ) News 1876. SON. 8. J. TILDEN. 1880- While we may have an individual preference as to who we prefer as the standard bearer of the democrscv. in the presidential contest in 1810 at the same time we believe it to be the solemn duty of every one who desires to see the grand tiinmph of democrat ic principles to yield that preference that bapmony and unity may prevail, and victory thereby be assured. We believe that the failure or neglect to renominate Gov. Tilden in 1880 would be to condone to a great and damaging extent the unparalelled and unpardonable crime of 1876, whereby not only the democracy but the whole American people were defrauded of their choice as expressed at the ballot box. Thus deprived of one of their dearest rights ns citi zens, never before questioned, the ever burning brand of condemna tion should be deeply imprinted upon all who participated in, connived at, or who secretly aided or sustained such heretofore unknown fraud and violation of our dearest birthright. The leader who can under adverse circumstances, ns in 1876, achieve a victory, should not be deposed by one . of untried skill, of unknown strength and ability. That Gov. Tilden is the choice, by great odds, of the true dem, ocraey of New York, there can be no doubt, at least in our mind. That the sncccge of the democratic party in 1880 depends upon the vote of New York, cannot be controverted—with - ' out New York, we are doomed. Now, what assurance or hope have we that any prospective candidate, other than 1 Governor Tilden, can rescue New York from the yoke of Republican 1 bondage in 1880. What he has done 1 he can do again. Hie triumph in the 1 coming election is as safe and certain as it was in 1876. He who hesitates । now, or in 1880, is politically damned, I yea, dead beyond alt resuscitation. ho fallers id his fealty to stenre the advanciment Hd sift-ess of cratic principles is a 'coward .end a traitor. II Gov. Tilden has commit-^ ted a single act to lessen the confidence reposed in him, we have not seen or , heard of it. We would ask what act of omission has ho been guilty of that ' should cause a distrust as to his abili ty, sagacity and- statesmanship, as a leader worthy ot the honor conferred ■ upon him. The very embodiment of 1 honor and integrity, be could not be i corrupted. As Governor of New - York he drove thieves from place and power ; when proffered the Presidency upon the payment of certain sums of 1 money to those Louisiana felons, be as the honored representative of the democracy, spurned the offer of a sale s of the electoial vote of that state, the । purchase of which placed Hayos in the White House, the payment of which has not been completed. ’ Some say that Tilden was elected. - Why did he not demand and take his , s *at as P.e-ident? Hie cause— our cause—in face of his oppo sition,entrusted to that Electoral Com -1 mission, the results of which are i too well known. By whom his s advisers and himself were handicap* j ped, and for the sake of peace and good order he was compelled by the act ol ' Congress, however unwarranted, to ac qniese—to have opposed would have r produced bloodshed. The South de ? sired and needed peace and repose, and in the interest of peace, prosperty and a fiture reckoning heabidedjhis time No Democratic member of Uon ■ gress who voted for the formation of 1 that Elictoral Commission ought to , oppose the re-nomination and election of Tilden in 1880, for that act assisted ’ in defrauding Tilden of the presidency ■ and placed a fraud before, and ovei • the Amcri'an p ople. i —• *-•- , YELLOW FEVES NEWS r Memphis, Sept. 16 —23 new cases - and 9 deaths reported to-day.

There is an old classical expression, which is true—as true under Christ as then. “1 hose whom the God’s love die young. ” They are “called op higher,” before any of the fresh* ness of their lives has been dried up in the antagonistic struggle for existence in this work, a day world. Before disappointment has been suffered, and sowered the sweetness of the beginning and men and worot h were still pure and good to them, because they wee pure and good. Before human nature had disclosed to them its hard and wrinkled visage ; because in them had not yet occur* red any distoition, the natural heritage Horn their first parents, and their inner soul was still bright and perfect, as their outer be ; ng was fair and beautiful. Ihey are called, whilst they are nearer akin to the Adam of Paradise, and less like the man for whose sake the earth was cursed ; and to the ecu* sumation of the ideals of existence, still building and expanding before they had fossilised into idols either of persons or things—Only made to be broken Nearer ’o God than later in life—true, beautiful and grod.

It would almost be a desecration to discriminate and select a few of her manv excellencies for mention: and we will only particular ze her as a devout | ra llesl wo k ing Christian, who neve' turned her back upon U»at which her “ hands found io do.’’ She has entered into the icst, which re* ma noth for : the people ot God. A most as fectionate daughter, both loving intensely and being loved.
