THE RING ABOUF To TURH UP IN
ARKANSAS.
The following, from the Little Rock
Gazette Of Sunday last, will challenge
the attention Of the readers OF the APP
PEAL. It viii be seen that the "ring,"
defeated in their efforts TO get possession
of our railroad stocks, to purchase the
Nashville Z Northwestern Railroad,
secure the possession Of the inestimsble
franchise of the Mississippi River Rail-
road, and get possession Of the New Or
leans, JaGkson and Great Northern
Railroad, have given come signs Of ex-
istence in Little Rock, where it is not
unlikely they will ego for" the rail-
road stock Of that city snd Of Pulaski
county. The Gazette, however, true to
the interests OF its people, has sounded .
note Of warning, and We may reasonably
expect viii be able to defeat this "riug,"
to the members Of which we propose
they shall secure a charter as the "per-
sistently impudent corporation" Read
Whist the Gazette says:
The Memphis press has been denounc.
ing 8 scheme on loot in that city by q
few persons whom it deuOminates "riag
men, for the purpose OF buying up the
city stock in the Memphis and Littls
Rock Railroad, smouDting 10 $3.50 coo
fer = mere song. IL is not Improbable
that g similar nov may be made here,
aud our people should be on the look. out.
Every one knows the theory Of cArro-
rate bodies. For example, ten men SUE
scribe $4,000 for q given purpose, and
pay in ten cents GU the dollar, which,
perhaps, accom- plishes the end without
further assessments, aud finally the stock
reaches %. 40, 50 cents on the d0lIsr, or
possibly rises above par. Now these
very plausible Individuals cuGe about,
and by reason Of d depressed market or
in fact none st al, Occasi0ned by the uu-
finished condition OF the enterprise, and
the large margin remaining unpaid, seek
10 buy up the entire stock under the
plausible %DTetence OF assuming the re-
~sponsibiiity Of the payment OF further
calls and relieving the city from further
care in the premises. Beware! The
Sl00,G0O subscribed by the city OF Little
