The Legislature of the state of
Louisiana, met iu extra session
on the 14th, and was the most or
derly Ural Inis assembled there
for years. The terms of the
Wheeler compromise Reem to be
fully concurred in, and the award
is being faithfully; carried out.
‘Col. Fred Grant was at the
Grand Pacific, in Chicago, a short
time since, and the Chicago Times
sent “its man” down to interview
the gentleman. The result was,
the reporter got a sound cursing
from Fred,—a cursing, which for
profanity and ungentlemanly fa
miliarity would have done credit
to a fourth rate hackman.
i lie reporter saici tnnt ne nas

rience, occasion to meet the James
hoys, Qiiantrell and other leading
cut-throats and bummers of the
West, but lie was never received
before with so much familiarity
and frankness.
Paul Boynton, the inventor of
a new life-saving apparatus, has
recently tested the merits of his
invention, by swimming across
the British channel, to within
five miles of the coast of France,
a distance of fifty miles, in about
fifteen hours, lie made the test
during a stormy and boisterous
sea, and was taken from the wa
ter, with clothing perfectly dry
and without any considerable ex
haustion. He carried with him,
an axe and bowie-knife, one days
rations, cigars, matches, rockets
and the American flag. Although
he did not accomplish the feat of
making a landing on the shores
of France, owing to the rough sen,
the darkness of the night and the
refusal of his pilot boat to allow
him to remain longer in the wa
ter, his test of the swimming
dress, proves it a success and a
great acquisition as a means of
diminishing the perils of ocean
sailing.
The royal yacht of Queen Vic
toria will be supplied with these
new life preservers.
The County Grange, of Drew
county, is earnestly considering
the immigration question. A
draught of a circular of informa
tion regarding the climate, soil, re
sources, Ac., of South-eastern Ar
kansas, lias been prepared and ar
rangements arc being made to in
sert a short notice in tire leading
newspapers of the eastern states
to tlie effect that such circular can
be obtained on application. Sev
eral other counties have organized
immigration Societies and are
preparing to put in their claim,
and make known the induce
inents they otter to immigrants,
in order that they may secure a
portion of the new comers who
will come flocking to our state
this fall.
Would it not be well for Pope
county to wake up on this ques
tion? We have urged our lead
ing men to consider this matter,
but have heard of no movement
yet. We warn our people again,
null if they wish to he behind all
other parts of the state, their in
activity will no doubt secure their
desire.
IMPOICTANT DECISION.
The Court’of Claims, at Wash
ington, 1>. has decided that
tiie amnesty proclamation of Dec.
li 5, 18(18, does not cutitle a peti
tioner to a restitutii.ii of eonfis
rated property. Judge Loriugde
livered the opinion and held that
the article of the Constitution
investing the President with pow
er to pardon crimes, does not an
lhorize him to restore toneitures
or to dispose of that part of tin
national property.
The Arkansas and l’oteau river

FUNDING COUNTY DEBTS. [
Elsewhere we publish an net
providing for the funding of the
indebtedness of the sevevul coun
ties in this state. Thi'.* act should
be road and carefuViy considered
by the voters of y,ur county, for we
are informed, 'lhfvt the county
court of 0,111- county is going to
take tl’.c sense of the voters of the
eoir.ty on the question of funding;
.id we would advise the tax pay
ors to post themselves thoroughly,
in order that they 11103- be aide to
vote intelligently on the matter.
There are some features in the
act which we do not like. Among
! which wc name the fust section,
i or that part thereof which author
izes a mere majority of the county
court to order the funding of the
1 debt at any rate less than fifty
j cents on the dollar. This we don’t
: like. If the debt is to be funded
at all, let no part of it be repudi
, ated. We think if the sense of
the people is to be taken on the
proposition to fund, it should be
j on a par basis—that is, one dollar
in bonds for each dollar of just in
debtedness.
The bonds will be issued in not
less than twenty-five dollar pieces,
and become due and pa3'alile in
not less than ten nor more than
twenty j-ears, and will draw seven
percent, interest. No indebted
| ness contracted after the 30th day
of October 1874 can be bonded.
[Warrants for bonding must be
COv 11 IvU lil' UUV; tUUlHJ lUUJl
within twelve months from date
of the order for funding. The
bonds, if issued, are to be made
payable, principal and interest,
either at the treasury of the coun
ty issuing the same, or at such
place in New York City as the
county court shall determine upon.
In regard to this part we think
the court should not have such
| power, but the bonds and interest
should be made payable at the
! county treasury. The selling at
auction, of the sinking fund, and
taking in payment the bonds, is a
feature that we are not prepared
! to endorse, but there may not be
any serious objection to the same.
We commend the act to a careful
perusal of our readers.
The frequent occurrence of
riotous and disgraceful proceed
ings iri our state legislatures has
of late years become so common,
that the subject demands serious
consideration. The manner in
which our legislative business is
now conducted has become so no
toriously shameful and disorder
ly that it is a disgrace and a re
proach to our civilization. We
find little of the decorum and dig
nity in our legislative bodies now
a days which should characterize
the actions of the representatives
of a refined and enlightened con
stituency.
Truth compels us to make these
assertions and we are sorry to say
that a rigid adherence to truth
would compel us to say that the
evil is not confined to our state
legislatures, but even extends to
'an equal degree into our gravest
and most important deliberative
bodies—the two houses of Con
gress of the United States.
Only a few days ago the ilis
souri legislature broke up in a
most disgraceful riot, where there
was imminent danger of
bloodshed and taking of life. If
•things continue to move along in
the present direction it will not be
I long until the presence of a plat
oon of efficient police for the pro
tection of life will he a necessary
and indespcnsable part of the ma
chinery of our legislative bodies.
Kvon now we dread the approach
of the final days of these dignified
and honorable assemblages, and
cringe with horror at the antic
ipation of bloodshed and violence,
into which the dissatisfaction and
pent up rage of turbulent mem
tiers, is calculated to culminate
about the time of adjournment;
for it is at this period that our
| legislative halls have of late years
j borne more resemblance to a dis
J graceful club room row, than a
! dignified body of respectable rep
; reseiitativeB of an enlightened
! people.
This shameful condition of
j things cries aloud for correction,
j and we should demand a reform in
this respect. We should not al
low our representatives to dis
grace us by an abusive und heath
enish use of the privilege of the
legislative floor.
"WHO IS ItHSPON&IBLE?
One day lust week a young fel
■ low by the name of Hob Barnwell,
was arrested on a warrant sworn
out by K. Burney, before B. W.
•
' ng grand larceny, under the act
making the stealing of two dol
lars and upwards a felony. lie
was held under guard until Sun
da}’ night, awaiting the arrival of
a witness. Sunday night he gave
the guard the slip and absconded
with a horse, bridle and sad
dle stolen from Mr. A. Shaver’s
stable, and with the watch of his
guard. The guard must evident
ly have been asleep.
Now we would like to ask what
kind of a way this is to execute
the law? Still it is just about
the way nine cases out of every
ten go. Wc venture the asser
tion that it is all chargeable to
neglect of duty in our officials.
If they are not responsible who is?
And so long as crijne is allowed
to go unpunished in this manner,
we would like to know what there
is to deter evil disposed persons
from committing depredations?
What terror has the law for such
characters, when they know there
are nine chances for them to es
cape where there is one for them
to get the just punishment which
their crime merits aud the law
provides?
We say let the laws be enforc
ed, and let neglect of duty in offi
cials be looked after and punished.
This thing of treating criminals
with great courtesy, furnishing
them a guard to parade the city
with them at their pleasure, and
gratifying every wish for fear of
hurting their feelings, is getting
a little too thin. We must hold
/kilt* aM!( >1 n lo n ofdinlm i r\ a . . 4
ability for the performance of
their duty; and if their tender
heartedness is so great as to be
hurt by enforcing the law against
criminals, we had better get some
who are not so fastidious in feel
ings. There has beeu guard ser
vice enough paid in Pope count}’,
in the last year or two to build a
good jail, and almost every pris
oner arrested has escaped. Fur
ther comment is unnecessary.
ONE FLAG-ONE (Ol'NTHY
-ONE PEOPLE.
The smoke from the great bat
tle of 18G1--18G3 is beginning to
clear away, The skies are clear
ing ofT and we are beginning to
see where we stand. Common
sense and reason are beginning to
assert their sway over the minds
and feelings of men. Old ani
mosities and prejudices are llick
eringi.j the socket, and we watch
with eager desire to sec them for- j
ever die out. The bloody chasm
is growing narrower and narrow
er, and soon we may hope to see
again rejoicing over One Flag,
One Country and One People.
The signs of the times are good.
The whole country is aroused and
eager to participate in the Centen
nial celebration. North, South,
East and West are zealous to
make this aniversary of our coun
try’s birth-day a grand ' and a
glorious success. This is a good
sign. In Chicago recently, at a
meeting of prominent gentlemen
in charge pf the arrangements for
the forthcoming soldiers reunion,
the proposition was made by
flnn CG.lnn t-r. J U „ 4 !
to all surviving soldiers of the
late war throughout tShe country—
east, west, north, anft'sortth. The
proposition was favored by other
gentlemen present, and was!
adopted by a unanimous vote.
Another good sign.
Again, a short time since, Gov.
Porter, an ex-confederate officer,
by invitation of General Penni
backer, federal commander at the i
post of Nashville, reviewed the j
troops at the barracks in the i
presence of an assembly of five
thousand persons, and amidst
good feeling and a great deal of
enthusiasm.
Events like these forbodc good
and glory to the country. Thank
God for the signs of the times.
Let the centennial see the good
work of reconciliation and re-iin
ion fully and firmly consumated,
and the whole country united in
the bonds of patriotism and fra
ternal good feeling.
MllKKl* ion ARKANSAS.
From the .Midland Farmer for
April, we clip the following let
ter :
Mileb Station, Macoi imn Co., 111., |
March 18, 1815. j
Mesin. Geo. \V. Matthews A Co.:
Sir:—In the Midland Farmer
for January 1 noticed u communi
cation headed, “Improved Merino
Sheep for Southern Missouri.”
Sir, I wish to go to a milder cli
mate and a good sheep range.
You will confer a great favor if
you will put me in communication
or send address of some parties
having such cheap grazing lands
for sale in the southern part of
your state or Arkansas. He
j speaks of thousands of acres of
w ^natures. I should
suppose prairie, from what he
says, at $2 per acre, or less
A Subscriber.
[Will some one of our sub
scribers in Southern Missouri or
Arkansas answer the above?—Ed.
Farmer.]
We have no hesitancy in assert
ing that we have the climate;
and although we cannot say that
we know exactly what would be
termed good siieep range, wc
think that sheep raising could bo
made easy and profitable in this
part of the state. So far as our
observation extends, we have
never seen a country where sheep
did any better than they do here,
considering the attention paid to
them. We have no doubt but that
a thorough test would prove that
our climate and country is well
adapted to the sheep business.
Right here in Pope county would
be a splendid field to engage in
the business. We have the cli
mate, the water and the range.
Our hill-sides, vale's, and prai
ries, would afford a splendid di
versity of range, and there is no
better watered country anywhere.
Perhaps some of the readers of
the Democrat will take interest
enough, in this, to give us their
opinion of Pope county as a field
for sheep raising.
FROM ALL QUARTERS.
We clip the following item's
from our exchanges:
"White County:

they’ll not prove Jamestown

At least that was all that ever
appeared after the sowing of the
grass seed.—[Searcy Record.
Fruit hasn’t suffered a particle
from the recent cold snaps. From
present indications we will have
one of the best fruit years we ever
had. The peach trees are heavily

not far behind.—[lb.
Franklin County:

them badly.—[Ozark Banner.
There is a great deal of ditch

going on through our countj'. It
all pays in the long run and such

Prairie County:
Chop Prospects.—Last week
was more favorable for the farm

the pretty weather to put their
seed corn in the ground as rapidly
as “all hands” could do it. Sev
eral got through planting their
corn, and will be putting in their
cottonseed this week if the weatii
es will admit. Everybody is at
work in good spirits. We notice
one thing that will be a consider
able drawback with some farmers:
their plow stock is not in good
condition. This is owing to the
great scarcity of corn during the
winter. Many are now feeding
on corn that was raised on the
prairies of Illinois.—[Des Arc

The Little Rock Gazette very
justly gives the Russellville Dem

Hempstead County:
Hope still continues to improve
notwithstanding the scarcity of
money. Should the coming crop
be encouraging our little town
will grow faster next fall than it
ever has done. Our corporation
will then be in working order,
and the future development of
Hope will smack of city stylo.
The improvement of roads in

Sevier Countv:
On Wednesday night week a
terrible crime, attended with fear
ful loss of life, happened in Se
vier county, near Nebo church.
A farmer, who had sold out witli
the intention of moving to Texas,
was visiting a neighbor, and in
the night feeling a presentiment
of evil, in company with a Texan
returned to his house, where he
observed a light burning. Peer
ing in the window the two men saw
four robbers counting the money
which they had stolen. Both men
being armed with double-bnrreied
shot guns, they fired upon and
killed all the robbers, anil then
entering the house, the farmer
was crazed by the sight of his
murdered wife and two children,
who had been slaughtered by the
robbers.—[Gazette.
Clark County:
A “fellow” was in our city last
