BOLD CnEATING.--The people of Maine
are likely to lose the whole 100000 alb
stracted from the treasury by the black re-
publican Treasurer, Elder Peck, and this
is done by aspecies of sharp practice rare
ly exceeded. 1t is in this wise: Efforts
are now being made, before the legisla-
tive committee, who are taking volumin-
Gus testimony in the case, to prove that
large part of this delalcation took place
in 1858, the object being to release Peck's
bondsmen for the year 1859. If this
project should succeed the State would
probably lose the whole sum peculated
in 1858, as the bondsmen for that year
arc not holden, settlement of the ac-
counts having been made, thus discharg-
ing them from liability. These efforts
will be successful, and in the end not q
cent will be recovered.
This sharp practice is only equaled by
that of the State Administration of Mich
igan and the parties who have conspred
with them to defraud the people out Of
fifty thousand dollars. The debt is Sc
cured by mortgage on land which de.
scribes nothing and means nothing, and i.
not worth the paper it is written upon!
Was there ever mendacity and rascali
ty equal TO that by which the black re
publican officials of Maine and Michigan
defraud the people, Was there ever {
cheat more apparent and bold!

A SHORT HORSE SOON CURRIED.-
That portion of the black republican pa
pers who work in the interest Of SEWARD
are severe upon the professions of BATES
to the Presidency, and it must be ack
nowledged that they find plenty of ma
teral for their structures. BATES has new
or had any experience whatever in public
life, has never filed any official position
worthy of mention, and, what is of more
Importance to them, does not even pre-
tend to be black republican even of the
mildest hue. Here is the summary man
ncr in which one of them disposes of him,
as truthful as it is brief:
"Mr. Bates public life is soon dispos-
ed of. He was member of Congress in
lS2s-'29, passed through two unmarked
and uneventfal sessions, and retired to
private life. In ls47 he presided at the
River and Harbor Convention at Chica-
90, and carried away the whole audience
in the two emotions of astonishment and
delight by his retiring speech; has since
got off q capitol mot on the old-linc wings

the Indebtedness from the State TO our
county is made up of those items.
When Mr.. Fletcher made his returns
as County Treasurer, in 1858, he did
not receive any money at the Auditor
Generals Office, and during that year no
money was received from the State. Last
fall Mr.. Parks, the present Treasurer, had
also to pay over the full amount Of his
sales, excepting what he had paid out be-
fore going TO make his returns. All that
the State could ask to return, or to be
paid over 10 them, would have been the
amount of State tax, which amounted To
$2,6s2, for 1857 and 1858, being the
two years above mentioned. The sales
of land for taxes for those two years
amounted in all to some $4,000, of this
sum about 81 200 must have been Elk
penses of Sale," leaving balance of cash
for the county, for sales alone, over and
above the State tax, and including Elk
pcnses of Sale" of about $500. To this
balance we must then add all the money
received in the Auditors office for the two
years for taxes, which must amount tC
$4,000 or $4,000 Mt least.
Why should the County Treasurer b
required to pay the State any money
provided they have received enough tC
pay the State tax! Will " Another Cit
izen" answer? CITIZEN.

The CHARLESTON CoNvEYTIoY.-The
visitor at Charleston regards with no little
interest the hall of tho South Carolina
Institute, in which the democratic nation
al convention is TO be held on the Odd of
April next. The audience room is spa
ciOus, admirably lighted by long windows
on three sides, and is capable of seating
$500 persons. A stage occupies the end,
and there are galleries upon three sides.
There are also convenient private rooms
on both floors, and easy access is had to
all the different apartments. The ceiling
is beautifully painted in fresco by no less
an artist than the brother of Garibaldi,
the hero Of Italy. Tho entire hall has
been recently fitted up with special refer
encc to the meeting of the convention
Where the multitudcs who will be pres
cnt at the coming convention will be
lodged and fed, is question of consider
able interest. The greater part of the
available space Of the principal hotels and
boarding houses has already been en-
gagged, and those who apply late will fare
badly. Nevertheless, extensive prepara-
lions have been made for the accommo-
dation of visitors, and MI that can be done

Let all remember the Attn of July coming
is to be the greatest day in the year to West
ern Arkansas another declaration Of inde-
pendence should be made declaration of
independence of sloth, poverty. obscurity.
We must go ahead now and open our coun-
try by important internal improvements.
Chief among these is the construction of
our Railroad from Folt Smith to Little
Rock. Our circle Of business is entirely
too small we must extend our hands into
the pockets of monied men in other States,
bring money into the country, bring about
a balance of trade in our favor; have some
channel by which we can send our supplies,
produce, stock, etc., to foreign markets. 1t
is high time for Arkansas farmers, mechan-
les, &c. to be getting Independent. They
have tOiled hard for long years past, and but
few of them have bettered their condition.
Why is this ? Not because lands are too
poor-not because seasons are unfavorablc
not because farmers cannot raise produce
stock, &c. but because they cannot readily,
turn the products Of labor into cash. If
they fall upon scarce year, as the present,
they have not a surplus, because they feared
to venture last year; If they fall upon a
bountiful year, they cannot dispose of their
produce without sacrificing half its value,
and thus they have vascilated between plen-
ty and want, always missing the mark, aud
have, consequently, kept behindhand as a
general thing. Now, suppose we had a
railroad, how different. Farmers might
make their farms produce every grain of
corn, wheat &C., that they possibly could,
every year, because, if they could not real
ize cash value at home, few hours would
put their produce in some other market as
certain as fire and water will produce steam.
We need never have ' scarce years then,
for our lands could produce bountifully
erery year, and if there was market at home,
produce would stay at home, if not it woui,.
so abroad. and bring money home If
crops failed at home We could be in easy,
certain and speedy communication with
other States, and we could draw supplies
from them. We would never have anoth-
er grain of 25ct per pound coffee, or 81 80
per sack salt. They would never come to
Arkansas again. but all prices would be
firm and equitable. No pinching of the
poor. Parsimoniousness would no longer
walk superciliously into the hard earnings
of the laboring man, and demand tithe
for pittance. Why stand back? Come
forward. all, and enjoy yourselves, and con-
side: this matter together, on the glorious
" 4th ;" listen to the talk of the talkative,
and then each man think for himself from
the premises laid down by the speakers
Everybody will be there. there will be
plenty to eat. plenty of talk, plenty of la
dies, fine clothes, ETC., etc.
