RAILROAD TAX IN HUMBOLDT CouNTY.-The
Central Pacific Railroad Company pf taxes on
their road through Humboldt county at the rate
OF $4,000 per mile; land the Register speaks in
praise oc the CT that the said company have
paid their taxes at that rate. Should a poor
workingman of Humboldt tender the Treasurer
Of that county one-fourth OF his rgbtful tax,
and demand 4 receipt in full, he would be kicked
ont and his house sold from over his head. 1t
makes all the difference in the world who does
the stealing. The gradin of the road through
Humboldt cost fully $4,000 per mile; and for
what the company propose to pay Sc, 900 per
mile upon. they have already received subsidies
from the Government to four or six times the
amount. besides their grant in lands. More tn an
that, in the freight and passenger tariffs they
have shown themselves as cod-bloodei a set Of
leeches as were ever raised from poverty to af-
fuence ~ the crcduity or charity of gener-
Gus people. And il is for these men that the de-
duction Of two-thrds their rightful tax is taken
of. A State Board Of Equalization is sadly
needed.-Iniand Empire (.Nec.) .Noven,6er 23d.

at Johnsonville, Tenn, last week as fol
lows: Ladies, word before we part
When, then, the day arrives, get up ear

you, and when the good old man starts
for the polls, go with him to the gate, put
your arms about his neck, kiss him, then

We should judge from the returns
that the ladies followed Gov. SENrER's
advice, and event with the good old MAJ

to the ballot box and did his duty, and
came home rejoicing. They ought to
have been kissed on their return, old and

of the labor the Colonel has to perform

PETITION TO TIE COUNTY COURT.

The following is copy of petition
passed by the Board Of Directors at their
session this evening, to the County Court
Of Pulaski county, which will be present
ed at its first session:
To the Honorable County Court OF
Pulaski Comfy, Arkansas:
The President and Directors Of the Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Com
pany have the honor to represent that
such arrangements have been made
with highly responsible parties as will in
sure the speedy completion Of this rail
road 10 Fort Smith That the contract
for the construction of said road requires
that said company shall procure sub
scriptions from the several counties up
ON the line of said railroad to the amount
of at least 100000, in the bonds Of said
counties. That your petitioners deem it
unnecessary to recitc in detail the mani
fold benefits and advantages that will
accrue to this State and more particular
" to the citizens Of Pulaski county from
the construction and completion of the
Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
or TO set forth the reasons why in the
Judgment of your petitioners, the stock
of said Company must within a very short
time after the completion OF said road
prove a profitable and productive invest
mcnt Aside from the purely local bus
mess which will necessarily be developed
by the construction Of said railroad and
the invitation thereby extended to imml-
gra,ion and to the influx and investment
of capital for the development of lands
and resources of the Staff hitherto neg
lcctei for the want of cheap. certain and
rapid means Of transportation at all sea-
sons ofthu year, and the greatly increas-
ed value which will thereby be given to
our lands and their products, in all the
benefits and advantages of which the cit
zens Of Pulaski County will be large par
tcipators; it is believed that the advan-
toces which will be derived from having
this road constitute link in the great
Southern Railway route to tho Pacific
coast will far outweigh in importance any
other railway that can be presented to
the citizens Of the County or State In
order To secure the last named benefit 1t
