Weingite tine attention of our rcadsis to the me moria! Of Mir Woodruff, to De found on the ith page It is subject in our opinion of much impoftance} , involving, as il does the character of our State Go
 qdrnmcnt for justice, and the interest of meiito- rous citizen and faithiGlpublc servant. Few men, in inc State, we apprahsnd deserve more highly, than llr WoodruA the respectful coaeideration and kind regards of Arkansas. Coming into this Territory twenty-five years ago, ano,g its early settlers he has, perhaps, done more labor fer the public, and contributed more to the development of ita resources and the promotion Of is settlement and cultivation, than any other individual. He es- iablshed the first Printing Press, and for long while tlie only one, in Arkansas and sustained it under circumstances of trial and priyation, which nothing short oi indomitable coura5e and unfalter-
 ing devotion to the generous enterprise ia which he was engaged, could have enabl,d himto encounter and overcome. For long while, Arkansas was known to tha rest of the world, mainly if not who'll ly, through his useful abofs. By him, the tide of emigration was invited here, and ndoced to stay it. sali within our borders He may indeed, be truly styled the father of Arkansas settlement, and Ararl- aas prosperity. Not only has he made himself use ful in the way we have mentioned bat ne has served the State faithfully in several public capacities. If such services nay entla man to the respect and esteem Of lis leeH-eidzens, then#e are warranted in claiming for the subject of this notice. place among the very first, in the honorable estimation of lbe people er Arkansas. These considerations, we know, relate only b the personal merits of the citi- zen, without affecting, in any degree, either fayora be or adversely, any claim he may have upon jus ice Of e statc Yet we have deemed proper to al ludc to thcn in order that the true personal eharac Ter of the individual may have its due weight in obtaining lor him candid and patient hearing, and a onsaring confidence in his statement of faets.- Of hememorial, we have only to say that speaks for itsclf It wHb9 observed thatitasks nothing as favor or gratiiy but only on the ground of just and equitable claim for work and labor done, and money expended in the service Of the State. We have taken somc pains to examine this mattcr in al is features and bearings, and have been led ir resist bly, 10 the conclusion, that the memorial ass for netting more than the strcteat rules of justice award to tha petitioner; aaawe sincerely trust, that for the honor of the State, and the rights of Mir.

 In addition to tae memorial, We give below, tho memorials of Judges Ringo and Lucy, of MessIs. Watkins. Glendenin aud Johnson, and sondfy cid- zeaq. All of which we commend 10 candid perusal and consideration.

PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN-FfNAL REsuLT.- We have been asked thousand times,--Who is elected President? and have answered as oiten--We do nol know. Ne can easily tell who We hope is elected, and who think is probabty elected, but We have not yet information enough to answer the question certainly and definitely.
 Our Whig friends get the news much more rarid- ly than it is our good fortune to getit. Ne met with one. short time since, who had received re- turns from every county in Virginia sand that gallant old State, which has always proven herself one of the strong posts of Democracy had, according his Information. deserted us, and gone for Mir. Clay.-- We get our news in the od-iashioned way, by the mails, such gentlemen get theirs by the ssiads.
 Upon the whole, although the matter is yet in much doubt with us, we think the returns as far as heard from are more favorable 10 the election of Polk and Dallas than Clay and Freliaghuysen.
 Ne hope, however, by the mail Of tonight, 10 get sufficient returns toput the question beyond dispute At any rate, We shall in time for our next paper and then will lay them before our readers,

The repeal of that law was by implication only. Such per cent. was therefore considered, at that time, by every one, as perquisite of said office

THEVALUE OF THE MANUFACTURING
TO THE AGRICULTURAL STATES.
FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD,


In an article in our last paper we stated
that Virginia shipped to the Northern
States during the first year after the "bIack
tariffs upwards Of 1000 barrels Of flour
being 4S.0D0 more than she shipped to all
the world beside in the same year. We
did not perceive till it was too late TO make
the alteration that these shipments were
from James river alone Of the number Of
Virginia hours hippedt to the northern ports
OF the United States or TO foreign countries
from the Rappahannock and Potomac we
have no account. The quantity shipped
from these rivers would, however. increase
the proportion in favor of the shipments
to the North very considerably. We elso
stated that there was annually shipped
from the port of Norfolk alone nearly a
million of bushels of corn. For this
statement we have good authority; there
are some six or eight of our merchants
who ship corn TO the North, and we know
of one house which has shipped during
the last twelve months to the New Eng.
land ports upwards of three hundrcd MoM-
sand bushels. Verify this does not look
much like ''grinting oppression of the
South" 1t is more like "grinding" OF
southern wheat and an suppression" Of
the northern market with southern corn!
But, to be serious, what are the "burdens'
OF the protective tariff on the South in
comparison with the ability to bear them
which the SoulI. receives from that mea-
sure ? Less than nothing. Strike down
the manufactures OF the Nor,h--destroy
the homo market-and where will the
Virginia farmer find purchasers for his sur,
plus produce? Not in England; for al
though we would be compelled to buy her
manufactures, she would not, so long as
she could supply her wants, PERM, il tc
be brought into competition nj her lnsrke
with the productions Of her own farmers
Not in other countries, for they all cult
vate the soil while they protect their far.

was the doctrine of the Federalisls, from
Alexander Hamilton down to James X
Polk, and has been resisted by the Repub
lican party, and by Henry Clay from TIT
time he entered into public life up to thu
present moment.

HENRY CLAY AT HOME.

The neiehbors of Henry Clay know
him, and appreciate his distinguished SER
vices to his country. A, the recent cleo
iicn, Fayette, Mr.. CIay's home gave

of Fayette was for letcher Nv hig) 1871;
French, Uoco) 762-Whig majority, 600
The vote this y Ear, therefore, exhibits a
handsome gain, even over 1910; but large
as was the Wing majority of Fayelle in
August, it will be 2 or 300 larger in N o.
vember. How impotent are the assaults
of malice, or the inventions Of calumny

Mr.. Polk. in speech at Madison, Tenn
thus played false prophet
"Jrdgng from the amount Of revenue
received at the Treasury, under the oper-
ations of the present Tariff act, for the
last quarter Of 1913, es already shown, it
will not produce annuaIly ha!f the amount
of revenue which would have been Pro-
duced by the lower rates of the compro-
mise act, he'd that act been left undislurb,
ed"
We are called upon to elect as President
of the United States man so ignorant of
the finances of the country, and OF the
operations Of Trade and Commerce as to
hazard such prediction as the above.
The compromise act, it is known, tr4-
ated such deficit in the Federal eipts
as inflicted upon the country national
debt of about S25,000,00O. The Tariff
Of 1912 is daily providing the materials
for pay ing off that debt, as well as for a
healthy support of the industry Of the
country.
So far, then, is the Tariff of 1912 from
not producing half enough of revenue,
that we have weekly to make some such
records as the following:
The receipt for duties at the Custom
House during the past week were -four
hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars
The revenue at this port from Jan. ls
1914, up 10 this time, is over fifteen and &
half millions of do lars.
The present week will, in all probabli,
ty, equal that Of any this year. If so, the
amount will fall but little short of the un-
precedented amount of three millions o
dollars for the mouth.
The first week in August it was S975,00C
Second week, $4,000
Third week. 443,00

AMERICAN RAIL ROAD IRON.

The Mount Savage Iron Works, Near
Cumberland in this State, have recently
commenced nnd are now successfully pro
scouting the manufacture of Rail road iron.
A letter from ID. X. Minor ESQ. editor 81
the Rail Road Journal, who recently Wis
tied the works, says
One immense rolling mill, with two sets
of rollers and S or 8 pudding furnaces, is
now rolling, beside other iron. from % TO
80 tons per day Of railroad bars of the
bridge form, weighing as pounds 10 the
yard-desi gned for the Company's own
use in laying a road from their works to
connect with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road at Cumberland, about 10 miles.
witnessed the operation of rolling these
bars weighing 300 lbs. each, which was
done apparently with great ease; and from
what there saw, am free to say that
with the present Protection upon Iron, we
shall be able in less than five years, to
furnish ell the railroad iron required in
this country, at prices less than we i'm,
ported It when duty free.
The Company now employs, in Is
various departments, over Gue hundred
men, and supports population Of neal
f,co thousand persons.
