Arkansas, Oct $, iSi6.

 We, the Grand Jurors for the county of Scott, and State of Arkansas, having gotten through with the business of the county be- fore us, deem it not improper to express our opinions with regard to men and measures, whose tendency may affect the veal or wo of the country Therefore.

 Resoired, That inc able and faithful man ner in which the Hon. Richard C, s Brown has presided, as the Judge of the Eth Judi cial Circuit of this State, entitle him to our confidence and sincere thanks, and we here by recommend him to the next General As- sembly ol the State for reelection to the same office, and, should he agree to serve again, we hereby request our Representatives to vote for him.

 Resofced, That the ability and fidelity with which Jonas NJ. Tebbetts, Esq, has dis charged lhe duties of Prosecuting Attorney of the 7lh Judicial Circuit, enti.le him to the thanks of the peopleGWe most earnestly so- licit him 10 permit his name to go before the next General Assembly for reelection, and recommend him to the favor of the Legisla- lure, and hereby request our Representatives 10 vote for him. .4 These resolutions were unanimously adop- ted, except MT. Harris, who declined to vote, but was for the men.

 POLITICAL.

 Resofrcd, That i" Measures, not men," should be the great land mark by which the democratic pdrty should act, and when any man, of the democratic party, shall SO act as 10 convince Us, that for his own self-aggran- disement, he is willing to endanger the har monv of the party and the success of our measures, he las already departed from the faith, and is no longer entitled to our conf- derce.

 Resolrcd, That the net of Congress, of 1918, with regard to milage to members of Congress, if subject to the construction given to i, by portion of the late U. s. Senators. who took two sets of milages for but one travel. that the same is violation of the Con- sutution of the United States, which provides that "Senators shall from time 10 tlme receive compensation for their services which shall be ascertained by law" that the practice o, taking constructive miage is fraud upon the people, and ought to be abolished, and our Representatives in the Legislature are re auesied 10 vote for resolutions nsiructing onr Senators and requesting our Representative in Congress. to go for the repeal of such a law. aud establish one upon just and equi- table principles, and noi subject to this con struclion in future.

 l Resoired, That too much blame cannot attach to Senator Ashley, Chairman of the Committee of the Judiciary, for not report | ing back to the Senate the bill from the House, to prevent constructive mlage in fu- ture, which was referred to his committee at I the,iast session of Congress.

 1 RcsoIced, That we have an abiding eon6- dence in Archibald Yell, and the patriotic i zeal with which he has Jeff the ease of lu- crative seat in Congress, and taken up arms i in defence of his country, is but another proof amongst many, of his devotion to the i cause of our common country. Resofred, That we sincerely hope that i victory and a speedy and sn honorable peace may result from fife efforts of our gallant army, now in Mexico, and that our patriotic and brave volunteers, under Col. Y ell, may ! all safely return with their comrades to re- -ceive the undivided applause and approba- lion of their eoantrymen. o A3f

 Rcsolred, That we prefer the Hon. A. i Yell, to any other, for the U S Senate, and i thinl, he ought to be elected by the next General Assembly. But. if il shall be deter mined by the democratic party in the Legis- lature, 10 select another man in preference .o either him or Col. Ashley. we hereby advise our R. sentative to vote for the democrat so selected, and act in concert with the de- |! fnocratse party generally. 3aA} ' T.. c.. Wm A.
