DE3 ABO, ARK., FEB. 9, 1867,
• Should the present Legislature be erei
'J* eo much disposed to aid works of internal im
-Jsrovetnent by loaning the credit of the State
to effect their completion, it could only-do so
in the present financial condition of the State
w.vti immense cost. Wo havo a large debt
hanging over us, and no means have as yet
been devised to pay it. Statesbonds, if issued
to-day, would not sell for more then one
fourth of their faeo vukie, in market ; and
consequently, to have work dono to bo paid
^or in State bonds, would cost the State four
limes as much as it is worth*
This condition of things calls for an imme
diate remedy. No ono who is aware nt the
resources of Arkansas, will doubt her ability
to liquidate her presentdndebtedniss ; blit as
long as her finances are allowed to remain in
a confused condition, aVid no system is devised I
to meet the interest dll her bonds and finally
to redeem them, capitalists will only buy her
paper at a ruinous discount. The subject is
one which demands tlife attention of commit
tees on ways and meats of both houses of the
general assembly; and,' whatever financial abil
ity they possess shou/.d be earnestly devoted
to the i*,iugurntijjfa of a scheme to restore the
credit flfthejff£te
’ The ‘y.^Kitors of Arkansas are anxious that
arrangements be made, whereby they may be i
able to collect the interest on the evidences of 1
indebtedness which they hold. They do not j
desire the immediate payment of the princi- \
pal, inasmuch ns they bought her bonds as an
investment for their capital upon which they
could draw the interest. But ns the market j
value of these bonds depends upon the regu
larity with which the State pays the interest ;
upon them and the certainty of their redemp
tion at some fixed period, n plan must be set
on foot whereby these results will be assured.
The longer this matter is deferred the more j
intricate it becomes ; and if sonve action is |
not soon taken, the credit of the State will be
worth nothing ; a debtor who neglects or re
* fuses to compromise with creditors, or re
fuses to make arrangements for the ultimate j
payment of what l^>#wcs, can scarcely expect :
to have any cry

force others to recognize the fact. Nor was
Ibis sufficient. He was not scrupulous about j
the means resorted to, to compel co-operation

of the very essence of his nature. In

a loader of the "great party of freedom."!
His kiroposTtion to prevent citizens engaged in
the /late rebellion, from practicing in (be

similar measures. It is bad enough to have !
a man of such a spirit, as a citizen, amidst a

The Six Debtees of Drunkenness.
There are six Linds of drunkards, and
if you will go into a city drinking place
: where there are a dozen men under the in
fluence of liquor, you will be sure to find
these six different characters, representing
different animals.
The first is ape drunk. lie leaps, and
sings, and yells, and dances, making all
sal ts of grimaces, and cutting up all sorts
I of “monkey shines," to excite the laughter
[ of his fe lows. Terribly silly is the drunk
■cn clown.
The second is tiger drunk. lie breaks
the bottles, breaks tlie chairs, breaks the
heads of fellow carouscrs, and is full of
blood and thunder His eyes are fired
with vengeance, and his soul raves with
murderous fury. Of this sort are those
who abuse their families.
The third is hog drunk. lie rolls on 1
the floor, slobbers and grunts, and going
into the streets makes bis bed in the first!
ditch or filthy corner lie may be open to
get into. lie is heavy, lumpish andt'locpv.
and cries in a drunken way for a little
more drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. lie will
weep for kindness, and whine his love, and
hug you in his arms, and kiss you with his
slobbery lips, and proclaim bow much lie
loves you You are the best man he ever
saw. and he will lay' down Jjis money or
his life for you.
The fifth is owl drunk He is wise in
his own conceit. No man must differ with
him, for his word k Lw. lie is true in
politics—in all matters must be taken as
authority. His arm is the strongest, his
voice the sweetest, his horse the fleetest,
his turnips the largest, his town the finest
of all in the land.
The sixth and last animal in the menag
erie is the fox drunk man. Ho is crafty,
ready to trade horses and cheat if he can.
K0011 to strike a bargain, leering around
with low ■oulining, peeping through cracks,
listening under the eaves, watching for
some suspicious thing, sly ns a fox, sneak
ing as a wolf, lie is the meanest drunk
ard of all.
Big!,, Whatever may ho said of the Jacc*
bins, lack of boldness is not among their
sins. They have resolved to control this
Government for another Presidential term
and they have but little hesitation as to the I
means by which this object is to be accom
plished. They find the President in their
way and they propose to impeach him — !
The Supreme Court thwarts some of their !
villainy, and immediately they take steps I
to renderthat great tribunal incapable of
further harm They find that if they sue '
cccu m turning me i resident out oi omce,
they will be compelled, unless the law is
changed, to have another election forth
with, and they are not sure hut the popu
lar indignation which would be aroused by
the expulsion of the I'tesidcnt front his of
fice, would work a sufficient Change in the
public mind to defeat their candidate,
which would of course upset all their plans. |
To obviate this difficulty they have already ;
prepared a l ill in Congress to suit the pos
sible emergency It provides that in ease
of their being no President or Vice Presi
dent. an election shall be held when order
ed by Congress. In tiie meantime, the
Speaker of the Senate, if there is one, and
lllkJ OPCtlKCI t'k IT>V II _ ■ |« .1
shall hold the office. Thus tho/et-r*
keep the power in the hands of their par
ty. in utter contempt of the popular will.
IVhen will the American people return to
their senses and tinottlc- this fell spirit of
Jacobinism which is leveling all of the
it ? __ j
’I he New York Tribune, by dispatch
of the 21st from Savannah, Ga., says: A ]
collision is likely to occur between the.
freedmen and United States forces, grow- ’
ing out of an attempt to eject them from a
plantation, the Chevis os’ate, situated in
South Carolina, opposite Savannah. They
refused either to lease the plantation, or
contract for the ensueing year. Pursuant1
to orders from Gen. Tiiisun, one commis
sioned officer and fifty men proceeded to
the plantation and wore met by about 200
negroes, all armed. A conflict was only
prevented by a temporary compromise —
Captain Brandt telegraphed Gen. Scott.
Freedman’s Bureau Commissioner, that it
was impossible to eject them, and asked
permission to dc ail a company of the 0th
Infantry, cn rouft from Lamatonville to
Charleston, to assist the troops sent o\er
by Gen. Tillson, who arc still on the Plan
tation.
In the reports ot the proceedings
of the Boston Board of Trade, we find the
following:
1Debts due hjf the South to the Xorth.
—In the opinion of the l.'oard statutes of
limitations to suits on contracts arc recon
cilable with justice only on the supposition
that the creditors have had an opportunity
to recover of the debtors, through the
usual course of law ; and that inasmuch as
during the late civil war, it was impossible
to take any measures to collect tho debts
in question, justice requires the passage of
a law exempting suitors from the operation
of tho statutes of limitation of tho States
of the South, for a period sufficient to en
able loyal creditors to enforce tho payment
of their demands.’
The SeuAit Plantations of Louisi
ana.—Sugar plantations are in the market
now at unusually cheap rates. One, situ
ated about fifty-eight miles above Now Or
leans, containing thirteen bundled and
! fifty-nine arpents, with a tine, commodious
dwelling house, built of brick, and im
provements, and extensive brick sugar
; bouse, with machinery complete, and cab
ins for eighty laborers, was lately sold for
$32,800. Terms, one-fourth cash; bal
\ anee in one, two and three years. This
i estate made in 1850, an average season,
i two hundred and fifty hogsheads of sugar,
i Before tho war, this plantation, with the
; negroes attached, was valued at $150,000.
i It is not an extreme ease. A New Or
i leans paper says it will require about twen
ty-live millions of dollars in the way of
j loans, to replace the losses sustained by
1 ;b« sugar planting interest of Louisiana,
and to place the several hundred planta
I tions in good working condition. Even
then the scarcity of labor will present a
seriot^ discouragement.
Not Quite Dead.—Those who arc so
fund of asserting that the Democratic Par
ty is dead. will not find consolation in these
; facts : At the elections last full the Dem
ocrats polled 1,800,000 votes out of 4,000,
000. A change of fifty votes in a thou
sand—of fifty thousand in a million—less
than six per cent.—would have given us a
majority of the popular vote. In Penney!
! vania. New Yoik and Indiana,castingeev
onty-two votes in the electoral college and
1,000,000 votes by the people, we were de
! feated less than -14.000 A change of less
than one and u half per cent.—of less than
fifteen in a thousand—would have given us
; a majority. In eleven States of the Union
excluding entirely the Southern States, a
I change of 30,000 votes on the result of last
full will, in 1808, elect a President aud ma
jj 'rityof oongicv.
a_
Essa Onto Swine.
Hogs generally are qundripcd.
The extreme length of their antiquity
has never been discovered; they (fxisted a
long time before the flood, and hcv existed
a long time since. .
There is a grate deal of eternal revenew
in a hog; there is no more waist iu them
then thare is in oysters.
Even their 'tales can be worked up into
whtssels.
Hogs is good, quiet borders; they eat
what is set before them, and don’t ask any
foolish questions.
Tha never hav enny disscaz but the
mcazlcs, and never hav them but once;
once seems to satisfy them.
Thare is a grate menny breeds among
them.
Some arc a close corporation breed, and
some are bilt more apart, like a hemlock
slab.
They used to hev a breed in New Eng
land a few years ago which they called the
stripped bog breed; this was in high re
pute among the landlords; most every tav
ern keeper bail one. which be used to show
to travellers and brag on him.
Some are full in the face, like a town
clock, and some are as long ami lean as a i
cew-cathcr, with a stcal-pinted noze on
them.
Tha can all rate well; one that can't lias
been made in vain.
1-ha are short lived animals, and gener
ally d ic as soon as they are fat.
The hog can be learnt a great menny |
cunning things, such as bistiug the front;
gate of! from tire binges, tipping over the j
swill barrels, and finding a hole in the;
fence to git into a corn field ; but tliar I
ain’t any length to their memory; it is aw-j
ful hard work for them tu find the same I
hoal tu get out at, especially if you are at
all anxious tha should.
Ilogs are very contrary and seldom drive ]
well the same way yu are going ; tha drive '
most tllC Other 'v.v, tt.lo n.tu le-ril j
tuny explained, but speaks volumes for
tire hog.
Old Ricketts was a man of labor,
and had little or no time to devote to sinoc
ulations on the future. He was, withal,
rather uncouth in the use of language —
One day, while engaged in stopping hog
holes about bis place, ho was approached
by a colporteur, who presented him with a
tract.
"What’s all this about V demanded Mr.
Ricketts. |
‘ That sir, is a book describing the coles-1
tial state.”
"uoiestiai Mate, saiu itieKetrs, "in
what section is that!1”
‘•My worthy friend, I fear you have
not—”
‘Well, never mind.’ interrupted Ilick
etts, •! don’t want to hear about any better
State than Pennsylvania, i intend to live
ami die right bene if I can keep them
darned hogs out.’
Now it’s Dome.—We know our straight
haired lady friends must envy those of
their sex who rejoice in beads frizzled a la
poodle dug, according to one of the latest !
styles of head dress By diligently pursu-!
mg the following directions; they can out

frizzled:

morning, after heating the cooking stove
up to the baking point, put your head in
the oven and let it remain there at least
ter the effect. A little lard applied after
the baking process gives it the ‘deafrujue
frecdnianium.’
Ex-President Navis.—A Washing
ton letter to a Baltimore paper says :—
f’lias. O’Connor and J. (1. Shea, counsel
for Mr. Navis, are in the city. Horace
Greeley is also here. It is further known
that Mr. Greeley had an interview with the
President yesterday, and interviews with
Mr. Navis' counsel this morning. Prom
these facts the quid uuus have conjectured
that the state prisoner at Fortress Monroe
is about to be released on parole or bail, or
that his case is on the eve of being disposed
of in some way; and it must he confessed
that the facts warrant a fair inference that
this long de'aycd act of sheer justice is at
last to be performed.
tta>“ A clergyman in his travels met with
an emigrant journeying with his family to
the fertile regions of the Mississippi. All
his worldly goods were packed on wagons,
and on one of the wagons there hungajug
with the bottom out. He asked him whv
ho carried that with him. “Why,” said
lie, “that is luy Taylor jug!” “And what
is a tailor jug ?” asked my friend. “Why,
1 had a son with Geu. Taylor, in .Mexico,
and the old General always told him to
carry his jug with a hole in the bottom of
it; since that time I have carried my jug
as you sec it. and 1 find it the best inven
tion 1 evei met with.”
Bs? At the first battle of Manassas, Cap
tain Jones of North Carolina, (afterwards
Col. Jones of Gen. Bragg’s staff) saw a man
running to the rear and stopped him with,
where are you going, you cowardly rascal t*’
•I am no coward,’replied the runaway.—
•Why don't you stay in your company and
fight then asked the Captain. The man
answered, ‘I am not a hit scared but I nev
er could stand araekett, and they’re making
the biggest row up there L ever heard.’
Oh? The officers of the freedman’s bu
reau in Texas report that the freedmen arc
making contracts for the nojft year’s labor
with great rapidity. Almost every steamer
brings importations from Georgia and other
States cast.
That is had religion which makes
us hate the religion of other people. That
is a had sect of Christians which encoura
ges its members to think contemptuously
of all other sects of Christians.
A punctual man is rarely a poor
man, and never a man of doubtful credit.
Ilis small accounts are frequently settled,
| and he never meets with difficulty in rais
i ing money to meet larger demands. Small
debts neglected ruin credit, and when a
. man has lost that he will find himself at
j the bottom of a hill he cannot ascend.
J8t? An old hotel keeper in Washing
i ton, once posted on his dining room door
the following notice: “Members ofCon
i gross will go to the table first, and then
the gentlemen. Rowdies and black-guards
must not mix with the Congressmen, as it
| is hard to tell one from the other.”
Wouldn’t that notice just suit the pres
ent body ?—-Ed.
Bn? A poor woman and her child set
tled in Arkiusas lately, and were reduced
to great straits for their daily food Ree
ling two chickens in the yard one day, the
! child proposed ca_- turing them and having
a pot-pie / no,” said the mother.
| “that woul&f-- wicked and God would
