sets nave yielded much less than was originally expected, but considerable sums have been re- alized from them, and it is still hoped that the assets of the Real Estate Bank will ultimately yield enough to redeem all the bonds issued for its benefit, leaving only part of the bonds is- sued for the benefit of the State Bank to be otherwise provided for. As all the bonds were issued for the benefit of the banks, the people of Arkansas insist that the assets of the banks shall. in the first place, and so far as they will go, be applied to the payment of the public debt.
 For the benefit of the Real Estate Bank, 1850 bonds for 1000 dollars each, and bearing six per cent. interest, were issued and fairly disposed of. These do not fall due till 1861. But 54l of these bonds have been redeemed, both prin- cipal and interest, leaving unredeemed 989 bonds and the interest thereon. .r
 For the benefit of the State Bank, 169 bonds for 5000 each, bearing five per cent interest. and 1000 bonds for 5000 each, bearing six per cent. interest," were issued and fairly disposed of The five per cent bonds are not due till 1887. but IA of them have been redeemed. both principal and interest, leaving outstanding only 25. The six per cent. bonds do not fall due til the year 1868. But, 419 of these bonds have been redeemed, bothprincipal aud interest, leay- ing outstanding 5Sl bonds of this issue.
 The whole amount of the present debt of the state. including interest to the 1st of January 1858, may be set down in round numbers at three million dollars. IfArkansas had adopted the policy some have wrongfuly imputed to her, the debt would by this time have been swelled to upwards of six millions.
 To some persons at distance, it may seem that Arkansas, though honorably acknowledg- ing her public debt, has not taken as effective means as she ought to have taken, to pay the interest regularly. Such persons, however, know little of the endorsements of newly settled country, when the inhabitants thereof are crushed to the earth by paper money bank. ing. For years in succession the officers of state were obliged to receive their salaries in Arkansas bank notes and Arkansas treasury warrants, worth only from B to 50 cents in the dollar. lit is only within the last three years that Arkansas has been able to bring her solid treasury system into full operation.
 Considering the circumstances in which the

NAVAL COURTS OF INQUIRY

Ilaue oI tniS call Tor records. l think they are entitled, by law, to a confirmation at the hands of the Senate. All we have to do is to inquire, as we do generally, as to the fitness of these parties. With these remarks, l am content that the Senator shall take the course which he pleases in regard to this subject.
 The VICE PRESIDENT. The hour hss arrived for the consideration of the special order
 MT. SLIDELL. think we can dispose of this matter in few minutes. if the Senator from Mississippi MT. BROWN will allow us to % on.
 MT. BROWN. Very well.
 The VICE PRESIDENT. Itreouires man. imous consent to postpone the special order so as to continue the consideration of this subject. The chair hears no objection.
 MT. JOHNSON, of Arkansas. I shall be compelled to oppose this proposition, until we shall have had some investigation as to the pro baole cost of printing these records have no remarks to make on the propriety of this call in itself, but believe the resolution has not been referred to any committee.
 MT. SLIDELL. It is not in contemplation to call for the printing of these documents This IS preliminary step.
 MT. JOHNSON, of Arkansas. I am aware that the Senator from Louisiana does not intend to have them printed, but when these docu- ments snail be presented here for purposes of examination. the printing will be ordered on the request of any two or three gentlemen. The practice of the Senate assures me of this. = Though the Senator from Louisiana will not ask for this printing others may: and the con- sequences will be that the printing of the usual number-fourteen hundred and twenty copies will be ordered, and then you might as well print five thousand, for it costs very little more ! to print five thousand than fourteen hundred and twenty. belive some investigation ought to be had so that we may know the cost of this printing. As to the proprety of calling for these documents. believe it to be exceedingly questionable. It will lead to the publication of many things that ought never to go to the world. It will cause unpeasantness to many parties, and will be productive of nothing but confusion and bitterness. hope that at least the matter will be referred to a committee, and report made before the Senate adopts the resolution. MT. SLIDELL. l am sure that if the chair man of the committee on printing makes any

repeated failures 70 find work. fell into bad company
with whom he often visited low groggenes, and ooca'

the hallway by his assaants, and there, strange and

kpdIed q fire about his feet, which nearly con.

lighted paper between his fingers. The two fires
knded over his person caused such acute pain as to
pstisly arouse Shehan, who was then dragged back
into the bar.room again, where effort was made to
force him 10 drink some more gin. How long these

might possibly have died from the violence he was
