RADICAL FINANCIERING.

The Radicals are giving grea
prominence to the financial ESSAYS o
one Atkinson, and are endeavorlns
through his sayings to prove that
our large and increasing national
debt is u national blessing They
also are trying to demonstrate that
the debt is fast disappearing, W en-,
in fact, the official reports show that
it is increasing every month. The
arrangement of figures by this At.
kinson is really a curiosity he
should at once be secured by Barnum
and placed on exhibition as a novel,
ty greater than the "lightning calcu-
lator."
The most curious part of his last
creed is he manner in which he pro.
poses to pay off the national debt.
He says $500, 900, 900 of the national
debt can be paid each year. This he
raises from three sources
First. The tariff yields about
Sl70,000,00O.
Second. The income tax yields
$3O,0O0,O0O.
Third. 1t is, he says, confident,
ly believed that the present tax on
whiskey aHl tobacco, with the
license, stamp and bank tax, will
yield s100,OO0,0O
Here he has, it is true, $300,0O0,-
goo, which he proposes to use
in paying the national debt but he
makes no provision for the expenses
Of the Government, which, under
Radical rule, amounts to more than
that each year. Nor does he make
any provision for the interest on the
national debt, which amounts in
round numbers to about $3.50, 900, |
300 per year. BY his own tiguriE g
he proves that the national debt. if
eft to Radical management, will in
lease every year. This is a worse
,howing for the Radicals than any
hing that has been written by Dem
,CratS.

Terrible Outrage In Arknnsns.

From the Memphis Avalanche Oct l3.l
a correspondent from Carroll
county writes thus:
GA the 9TH instant, at a church
! house on Crooked Greek, four or five
Radicals raised a row on the Sab
bath. Knowing that the CouServa-
tives were all unarmed, they fred
into the crowd, killing one man dead
upon the spot, and wounding three
others, of winch two have since died
one it is supposed will recover. This
was done by men that claim to be-
long to the Carroll militia, and they
are going TO enforce civil law. We.
suppose they have commenced the
enforcement. This is the first kadi-
cal outrage upon the citizens OF this
county. We have enough of it.
We have lived in peace for three
years, but we are not willing to have
cur good men slaughtered by men
that have set out to enforce the civil |
law that viii not submit to the law
themselves. We understand that !
the sheriff, together with the good |
citizens OF this county, demanded |
that the lawless scamps be brought
to justice and let the law have its
course in the premises. We have
not head a word from them since
they committed the act, only what
we heard on the next day. The
Radicals all gathered to the number
OF ulty strong at Capt. Fick's store,
we suppose to protect the outlaws
against the civil authorities. The
good citizens of this county are law
abiding, and will help to enforce it,
provided it is in their power to DO so.
We had not been apprised that
here was another war up until the
Radicals commenced charging places
IT public worship, seeking whom
hey might dev0ur. They killed
heir own brother in-laW in the fight. !
y have been ted that there were 5
wO Conservatives armed, and that t
hey were the first two shot down, Z
nj did not use their arms. The
Conservative people OF this county
ave not been in the habit of carry.
ag arms for the last three years. !
