Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-02-15

TREASURER OF SALINE CoUNTY.-The Old Line Democrat labors hard to make something for itself out of Gov. Conway's s appointment of treasurer for Saline county. It tries to be severe upon Mr. Russell. Where Alex. Russell is best known, the "Old Liners" sneers and insinuations are in vain. Russell is good democrat, he is and always has been friend personally and politically of the Governor and of the editor of this paper.
 Some weeks since we published letter from MT. Russell, and the "Old Liner |" pronounced it to be a .forgery. Mir. Rus sell immediately came forward and told Mr. Peek that it was no forgery, but his own letter. Instead of making the neces- sary amends, Mir. Peek now undertakes to convict him of other sins. The whole business is a small matter, and Mir. Peek is welcome to the capital he can make out of it. The democracy of Saline are well pleased with the appointment. MT. Russell is an upright, correct and intelligent gentle man. and further the Governor cares mo- thing. Mr. Peek is playing into the hands of the know nothings of Saline county. He is making their cause his own. He had better throw off the disguise he wears, and espouse their cause at once. It IS evI- dent he has TO lot or part with the democ- racy of Arkansas.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-02-15
Hon. Vim. K. Patterson.

The last issue of the Old Line Democrat mentions this gentleman very fatteringly, and expresses something like a second choice for him for Congress in the northern district. Col. Patterson deserves all the praise thus bestowed upon him, but in giving 1t, we doubt if the "Old Liner" spoke advisedly. There is a great antag- onism existing between Col. Patterson and the "Old Liners" first choice, T. c. Hind man. There Is no one whom Hindman has denounced more repeatedly, or pursued more implacably, than the Hon. Wm. K Patterson. Regarding Col. Patterson, both on account of his talents and the high position he holds in the northern part of the State, as a probable future rival, Hind man has left no effort untried to destroy him. Under these circumstances, we do not understand how the Old Liner can in derse Col Patterson so positively. Every thing uttered in his favor is a direct thrust at Mir. Hindman.
 The Hon. Wm. K. Patterson is no or dinary man. He possesses distinguished ability, and is an eloquent and able public speaker. In all the accomplishments of the mind he is not inferior to Hindman, while in the noble qualities of the heart, he is every way his superior. We are glad to observe that Jackson county has given him its first choice. Jackson was not long since regarded as Hindman' s stronghold. Verify the throne of the little would-bedictator is trembling
Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-02-15

CoSGREs ssIoNAL.-Both of our Represen- tatives in Congress have made speeches upon the subject of the organization of the House, which have been much applauded by the people. Col. Rust delivered his speech while we were in Washington, and 1t was well received on all hands He made proposition to unite the democratic members with all the opposition to the black republicans in the contest for Spearker. It was regarded as wise and patriotic move, and one which, had it been accepted might have led to black republican defeat by the conservative elements of the country This proposition of Col. Rust was rejected by Mir. Hindman. We believe he was about the only democrat of the House who made any opposition Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, took up Col. Rust's proposition and urged it with great deal of eloqucnce and spirit. But with all, it failed, and the black republican triumph has been com plete. We announced last week the elec- ton of Mir. Pennington of New Jersey, a black republican, as the Speaker, and we now have to announce the election of Mr. Forney as clerk. There is scarcely more corrupt politician in the Union than For ney, or a more interruptions opponent of the institutions of the South.
 Col. Rust has acquired high position on the floor of the House very deservedly He is regarded there as one of the leaders of the democratic party. His experience as a parliamentarian, his abilities as a statesman, and his devoted patriotism con- mend him to the confidence of the democ- racy. His constituents may justly feel proud of him.
 The congressional proceedings show that our senators are at their posts and hard at work-Mr Sebastian, as chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, and Mr. Johnson, as chairman of the committee on public lands. The position of our sena- tors as chairmen of two of the most impor- tant committees in the senate, and commit tees in which our state is so deeply interest," ed, must be gratifying to our people.
 We look forward to an animated end in teresting session of congress, and shall de- vote much of our space to its proceedings.

R. III. JoHNsoN=

h. II. JOHNSON-
 l was highly pleased with an editorial in late number of the True Democrat, head ed "the Climate and Production of Ar kansas" s"-from which obtained some very acceptable information concerning the geni- al character of, perhaps, the !larger DOT tion of this State. From the interest you manifest ill the promotion of every mea- sure which tends to induce emigration to our young State, and her consequent i'm provcment and prosperity, l infer your willingness to devote a small space to the queries of a stranger and friend in quest of more particular information, to-wit: What is the general character of the land within the limits of Sevier and Polk counties?- Is 1t undulating and to what extent? Is there any prairie land in these counties and its nature? Is there much vacant land and its productiveness? Will some one fami- liar with the lands alluded to give the de- sired information?
 Our county convention, which convenes early in March, will undoubtedly recom- mend the name of Thos. Fletcher to the State convention, in connection with the SuUtl idtOI idl CIdlI Ol AlkdllSdS AS a piece of news 1 will state that Dr. Lyons has formally withdrawn his name as a can didate for the nomination to succeed the Hon. Albert Rust in Congress. The Doe tor, after successfully canvassing several counties, was forced, through the pressure of private business, to abopt this alterna- tive-thereby disappointing his most san guine friends
 l desire to call your attention to an un- intentional wrong done the Alabama de- mocracy in your editorial stricture (just and appropriate on one know nothing Hill in Congress-'tis said he was thought to be from Alabama. Now, to tell an Ala bama democrat that he has know nothing representative in Congress is to see him flare mp awfully-for no such characters are permitted to have office there these days No! Alabama, like Arkansas and Missis- slppl, has an unbroken democratic delega- tionin Congress and 'tis hoped will always have.
 This "Hll" is Joshua Hill from the seventh congressional district of Georgia, who by the bye, defeated Hon. Linton Stephens (brotherto ''little Alecll" and now judge of the supreme court of that State ) in two hotly contested elections by very few votes-this is his third term l beleive. Pray, Mir. Editor, don't say he's from la- bama." Yours truly,

Taxation of Swamp Lands.

By the decision of the supreme court of this State, in the case of Edmund McGeehee, appellant vs. Martin R. P Mathis, appellee, published in our paper to-day. it will be perceived that the following principles have been established in reference to swamp lands, viz: 1st. That lands purchased or entered after the 11th day of January, 1855, whether with scrip issued before that time, or issued on levee contracts made before that time, are subject to be taxed for state, county, and all other purposes, just the same as if such lands had been purchased with money.
 ?. That swamp lands, no matter whether purchased before or after the 11th of Jan uary, 1855, are subject to special taxes or assessments; such as levee taxes and the like, though if entered before that time they are exempted from taxation for ten years from the date of entry, for state and ordi- nary county purposes; but not exempt from special assessments as above stated.
 3. That the Chicot county levee law of 1857 IS constitutional; and that it is law ful to assess and collect the levee tax thereon founded, for the purpose of constructing levees as prescribed in the act.
 Other levee laws passed at the last ses- sion of the legislature, and which substan- tially copied the Chicot act, are of course by this decision held to be constitutional and valid; and if the owners of lands against whom taxes are assessed, for levee purposes, do not pay them, the result will be that these lands will be sold, and good title passed to the purchaser.
 Swamp lands which were taxable under the decision for past years, but have been omitted either through inattention, or a misapprehension of the law, ought the present year to be brought into the assess ment and tax books, by sheriffs, assessors, and persons charged with the duty of assess ing, either for general or special purposes, so that all may equally bear the burdens of taxation, and no revenue be lost which rightfully belongs to government, or which is by law destined for a particular purpose This can and should be done by back tax ing
 This decision sustains the opinion of Solicitor General HAMPSTEAD, recently given in reference to the taxation of swamp lands and published in our paper at the time. We invite particular attention to the decision of our highest court as one of vast public importance, and especially commend it to sheriffs, assc, -s, public officers, and the owners of lands, and of swamp lands particularly.
