 Non resident land holders will see by the notice ofthe Auditor of the Stale that they can pay taxes upon their lands and town lots directly into the State Treasury at Little Rock This convenience of paying taxes al one point on lands and town lots in all parts of the State will doubtless cause nonresi dent land holders to be more promp and lewerlands will be advertised and sold for taxes.
 NAME OF POST OFFICE CHANGED.
 The name of the Post office in LaFrvette county, has been changed from Lalayete c. II. to Lewisville; and A. Thompson ap- pointed P. NJ. in the place of F. E. Winfield resigned.
 " We take pleasure in laying before our citizens this week, the first list of appointments. furnished us by Col R w. JOHNSON, the nominee of the Democratic sth of January Convention. We are hfotHaea pY Cel. J, that Tn due time, his further appointments from Fayetteville, through the North. West, Northern, and Eastern counties, will be pub. lished
 It probable that Col. J. will meet with no on- position in the ensuing canvass. II seems as vet that the whig party declines any contest for Rep resentaye; though believe they will contest for majority in the next Legislature This course viii, ws doubt not, b. their policy in the ensuing campaign Is it not reasonable for us to infer that it will? What woul the whig party achieve by securing majority in the legislature, There are noae So dall or stupid not to see and know the resnlt. They would secure he election of whg to she U E. Senate, as well turn out every demo- erat hoida5 office ia the State--the election to winch office comes before the legislature Is not the election then, of members to the lez ezisIature matter of the utmost importance to the democratic party! It certainly is. Hence they should be on alert; and do now as they have always doneunder the State government elect good and true democrats to the Senate and House of Representatives. .s, All are aware, that the election of a t. $.

Lord Aberdeen said very promptly and frankly that 1t would be improper to disguise that with inc sincerest desire to avoid ii, thev were obliged 10 lool, to the possibility Of a rupture with the U. s; and that in such a cri- sis the warllke preparations now making woHld be useful and important; but he stated at the same time, very positively and distinct ly, that they had no direct reference to such a rupture and would have been made in the same way, and to the same extent, without regard to tie relations of Great Britain and the United States.
 He also advertcd to the fact that such pre- parations as were actually making had been commenced before the relalions between the United States and Great Britain had become as serious as they now appeared to be, and therefore could not at that lime have had any connexion with difficulties which had since grown out of the Oregon question. He thought too, thatthe representations as to the extent of tie preparations must have been ex- aggeTated. He denied that they related par tcularly, as had been informed, to distant service; or that they were making any addi- ton 10 the old form or marine. He staled that the most extensive and formidable parts ol their preparations were the fortfcations of the principal and exposed ports and stations. which he thought could hardly be supposed 10 guard against invasion from the U. S.; and to the increase of the number of steam-yessels m lieu oi the old craft, which it appeared other nations were abopt to adopt, and which he confessed he thoughts matter of doubtful po- Hey. In short. he assumed the preparations m progress to be only part of a wise and prudent system of national defence and pro- lection, aud of preparing in time of peace for the exlgencies or war, if 1t should unfortu- nate!y come from any quarter whatever; and he distinctly repeated his disclaimer that they had particular or direct reference to rupture with the United States on the Ore gon question, or any other ground.
 In regard to my own opinion upon this subject, which the President has been pleas ed 10 desire,
 it is altogether probable that the possibility oi other difficulties from other quarters in Europe .3 II oEs tas*
 may have it's influence in dictating the poll- cy ot the extensive preparations in progress Tn all parts of the kingdom; and with una bated confidence in the irankness and straight. forwardness of Lord Aberdeen, and without meaning to distrust in the slightest degree

London, Jan. 3, 1916.
 SIR: received on the 29lh of Dec your despatch, dated the 18th of that month; and on the day following, sought an interview with Lord Aberdeen, in order that, in confor- mity with your instructions, might bring to hls notice the warlike preparations making by Great Britain, and, if possible, ascertain their real character and object
 It will not escape you that upon such subject it is not always easy to obtain very categorical answers, or entirely definite olli- cial information; and did mol doubt that a frank personal conference was the best. if not the only mode, of obtaining any satisfactory Information whatever.
 in introducing the subject, adverted at the same time 10 the information the Presi- dent had received tsom variety of sources, of the extensive warlike preparations making by Great Bliiain, and the natural inference upon his part that in the present pacific state of the relations of Great Britain with all the powers of Europe, they could only lock 10 q rupture with the United States on the Oregon question.
