and means to the objects of the grant of lands should rather be cause for congratulation.- By their efforts and without expense to the State, the most valuable information has been obtained, digested and laid before the Legsla- ture.
 Is 1t ustice now that these very acts, by which the best interests of the State have been subserved, should be made the apology for heaping obloquy upon the companies Itmay be done by few, but the mass of the people, who are generally just, will award the praise where 1t is merted
 It is a matter of pride to us to observe on the part of the members of the Legislature dis position to discard all sectional feeling and to regard the railroad questions in the light of State matters. With such spirit, unmoved by out side influence or local prejudice, pervading our Legislators, we have every reason to look for ward to>good results from their labors.

 see no cause for difficulty in the disposition of the railroad lands between this and the Mis- slsslppl river. The facts in the case will solve the question. Two roads from here to White river ought not to be built They would both rot Ill five years after their completion, for the want of business. Dividing the business, there would not De sufficient to support either of fthem. Why then not make the Helena and Memphis roads from Little Rock to White river a joint concern? It is right, and what is right should be done.
 After we pass White river the disposition of the lands becomes again an easy matter. The facts are sufficient to determine the policy of the State.
 Between White river and Memphis there are but few or no public lands. Why then make worthless gift? The lands are chiefly if not entirely sa0amp, and as such have been entered by the citizens of Memphis at 50 cents an acre. They then belong to her, and as she will reap the profits of railroad in the enhancement of their value, let her complete the link between point opposite to her and White river
 There are many public lands on the Helena end She then will be assisted by the grant Why ought we not then to give them to the Helena end? Why does Memphis want the grant when 1t is worthless to her-more than worthless, for its acceptation imposes burdens, such as carrying troops, munitions, etc., and gives nothing in return.
 Is her object to crush a rival? If it is, will we help her in the charitable undertaking? l hope and trust not.
 have no interest personal in either of these roads, but 1 am citizen of the State I am anxious for the construction of both the roads. and 1t certainly is the interest of Arkansas to have them both. Give the lands from White river to the Mississippi, to Helena, and both roads will be built Memphis interest in the vast quantities of swamp land on her route will build her road. Herswamp lands are the rich est and finest lands in the world, and the sale ofthem will make her citizens wealthy. She got them from Arkansas at a nominal price, let now her labor bring them into market
 On the other hand, grant these railroad lands from White river to the Mississippi, to Mem phlS, and while the grant is worthless to Mem phls, you by the act crush and destroy Helena. I ou take from her the means to build her road while you do not by the grant, assist Memphis ln the construction of her road one particle
 Read this and reflect upon 1t carefully. Mir. Dick Johnson, is 1t not the language of con- mon sense?
 Respectfully, A CITIZEN.
