lhe following calculation, showing the amount ArkaE- would have received under the Land Bill we con dense from the communication of GA Voice from the South"
 The bill provided that each new State should receive ten per cent on the nett proceeds of public lands sold within It's limits from and after the ls day of December, lS32 Nett proceeds in Arkansas from Dec. lst, 1882 to September 3oth 1885, S567 72 91. Ten per cent. on this, 5627 29, would have received besides the grants made admission.
 The share of Arkansas in the nett proceeds of the sales o public lands, up to Sept 30 1885, after deduct ing the ten per cent to the States, calculated s52oo-~which, added the former dividend, would give $l4l,977 29.
 The receipts in the public treasury from land sales in Arkansas, from Sept. Seth, 1885, to this time, low estimate amount to $600,o0o. This would give S6o, 0G0 more.
 The receipts from sales of public lands from all the States since Sept 30 1885, low estimate is near 10 millions ot dollars. Deductng the ten per cent the new States there will at the very least be left eco
 -of which our share would have been S2S, ,4l6 668; that the total amount would have received would have been two hundred and thirty thousand three hum dred and ninety-three dollarsat the very lowest es- mate.
 It was said in Congress that each Congressional Dis trict would receive, annually $s4 074 under the Land Bill.
 Taking then the nett proceeds of land sales in Arkan sas at Sooo 0O0 annually per cenum under the Land bull and under compact of admission would be ninety thousand dollars annuay--whch added to the former sum for the District gives annual income in future of Sli4,oI4 Add that to the already accrued and would have at the expiration of present year the sum o four Hundred and four housond four hundred and sir- ,y-seeea dollars, by that awful Land Bill which Judge :" hite ought to be murdered for voting for.

Base Thrcdt.-We commend the following to the
especial attention of that eloquent apologs of the
French Mr. John G. Calhoun. Between the incen-
diary acts of the Wing aboiioniss at the north, and
the threats of these French aboonists on the Caro-
lima coast, the poor gentleman must find himself in
rather perplexing predicament While he is so
generously aiding both, in joint opposition to the
peace of the nation and the acts Of the Admnstra-
ton, they, on the contrary, seem to estimate but
very lightly his brotherly feelings towards them.
Louis Philippe, after receiving the late speech ofthe
Carolina Senator, will, we doubt not, silence the
Bons Sens the French paper from which this extract
is taken. He certainly could not do less, it
would only be a triling return for the favor Mr..
Calhoun has done him, in exating the good faith
ofthe French Government at the expense ofjour own
By-the-way, we used to hear once of Puncd Fides
as proverbia expression for national dishonesty,
faseood perjury. We think far forcible
term may be adopted in its place is, Galica
FTdes, a principle in morals lately established by
the French, and defended in our own Senate by
that arch nulli fier, John c. Calhoun.
{" Need we remind the United States, says the
Bons Sens, of the terrible arm, which the laws of
war, and perhaps the welfare of humanity would
place in our hands. Ifthe United States dare touch
the persons or property of Frenchmen residing in
their territory if they had the presumption expect
to defeat US on the sea, we have, TO unnhate their
Union, only to land, the Carolina coast, a reg-

from South Carolina, in speech lately delivered

on slavery "gross, scandalous and false; unworthy
of scholar, unworthy of christian, and unworthy
of gentleman" He denied that he "played a
second part to OConnell,' in the abolition ques-
ton, has been said for he did not rise so high -
he played a second, and the meanest part to Gar
