~,We last week called the attention of
the candidates for the legislature in this
county, to few plain questions that in ctr
opinion, would most unquestionably be
brought before the next legislature, and to
which we desired plain answers. To these
questions, not asked in a spirit of wanton-
ness, bat with an earnest desire to know,
and to let the people know, the views Of
those who aspired to represent them. on the
important subjects to which they referred,
we have, as yet, received no answers. The
people feel deep interest in these matters
they have right to know the views of their
would d-be-representatives with regard to
them and to expect plain and uncquivocal
expression of their views
A prohibitory liquor law is one of the
questions that, to considerable extent en-
crosses the public attention. and in many
counties the people have required their can
didates to pledge themselves to bring the
subject before the legislature, with view
of passing law prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquors in the State, or of so
amending the present license system, as to
leave it with the people of the different
townships to say, whether or not, they will
have in their townships licensed dram-shops
We publish today, in another column,
two communications on this subject, to which
we invite the attention of the candidates.
remarking that wherever we have heard an
expression Of opinion, it has accorded with
the views therein contained.
AS the day of election is rapidly ap-
preaching, we trust our candidates will take
this, as well as the other subjects to which
we have heretofore referred, under serious
consideration, and that they will furnish us
with their replies in time for publication in
our next issue.

Mine Creek. July 18th, 1854.

Mr.. Eher II see in your last paper a
call on your candidates to give their views
in relation to a liquor law. am pleased
with this, and wish it had been made test
in every county in the State. If Arkansas
does not need law Of this kind, it is not
necessary any where.
I prefer the Mississippi to the Maine
law That is. wish to see law passed by
ihe next Legislature. prohibiting the sale Of
intoxicating drinks. in any quantity, great
or small, without a license from the county
court, and that no county court sEall grant
license to any one, unless majority of the
legal voters Of township shall petition it
to grant one to sell liquor in such township.
This will be law based on republican prin-
ciples. If majority want the curse let
them have il, if not, a minority have no
right to inflct q nuisance upon them A
law of this kind will do much good in the
townships bordering on the Indian line, as
the Indians annoy the inhabitants of these
townships a great deal, and they cannot
help themselves; but with a law of this
kind they can and will do it, Arkansas
should do all in her power to prevent the
sale of liquor to the Indians, as they are
doing all they can to prevent the use of it
among themselves and would succeed but for
the dead-falls along the line.

Rio Grande to the point whence the paral-

By the treaty of 1S4S. the boundary

The new tariff bill, as agreed on By the
committee in the House Of Representatives,
is published at full length in the New York
Herald. 1t contains some notifications up
on the plan suggested by the Secretary Of
the Treasury The proposition is that i g
into effect Jan. lst, 1855 L is estimated
that the bill viii produce revenue Of si?,-
100000 a year. This certainly looks
like pretty high figure when we consider
that the revenue must be reduced to the
economical wants Of the Government. We
don't believe that the administration is vii
ling to have the revenue reduced at all; ana
therefore our opinion i that the new bill
will not pass if the administration can pre-
vent it.

a NEW 1NvEHTIoS-GAs FOR Country
UsE--By new invention, people living n
towns where no coal gas is or can be profta-
bly, formed, may sill obtain the luxury Of
brilliant homemade gas light, at a cost
cheaper than that Of the ordinary oil or
fluid. The light produced is superior to
that of coal gas, being clearer and more
powerful, as the fame is of fuller volume
and burns with greater steadiness, while tbe
expense is about the same as coal Gas s.. 80
per thousand feet. 1t is the combustion Of
benzole. resinous liquid. sold at Sl,50
per gallon, mixed with atmospheric air
the gas being generated by an ingenious and
not inelegant apparatus, which may stand
in the house entry-way, or even be placed
on closet shelf. and from which common
gas fixtures may extend in all directions,
and give the light in any or every room at
pleasure. The apparatus generates no more
Gas than is Immediately consumed, and re-
quires for the purpose only the heat Of one
Of the burners used as light-so that the
whole cost Of the gas is that of the apparatus

which prevented their being in readiness on

ton OF the mail between this place and

was unavoidable on their part, and contin-

commenced their regular tri-weekly trips,
The contractors promise to make the line
worthy of the patronage of the raveling
public and the confidence of the people
and from our knowledge of Mr. PEAY, we
have every confidence in his being able to
do SO. They have already made changes
calculated to add to the comfort of passen-
gers, and have placed additional stock on
the road, in order to expedite the nails
We trust an effort will be made to increase
the grade of service OH this route. Already
the contractors have found it neces; lry to

should have, four.hourse coach service on

''the new contractors for the route from Lit

failed to comply with the acquisitions Of the
law, we have been without mail ever
since The failure alluded to above was
not caused by neglect of our duty, but by

are these we contracted for the purchase
of the entire stock of the late contractor on
this route, which was to be delivered and

time, the late contractor directed his agent
to stop the mail at the terminus Of every
stand, on their return with the mail to this

until too late to correct it. and thereby fol-
lowed the failure. We assure the citizens
interested in this route, that no pains or ex-
pense shall be spared in complying with
our contract in the transportation Of the
mail, and We hope, by strict attention to
this matter, to merit their confidence and
respect.
We are well aware that reports injurious
TO US have been circulated from the begin

it proper to say that not one of them have
the slightest foundation in. truth. When
ever we deserve to be censured for any neg
