The Grant minions have selected Pope
county, Arkansas, as the first scene of
their military operations for carrying the
Presidential election. Martial law has
been declared there, and the county is
occupied by the Mongrel trainbands
known as militia.
The provocation for this extraordinary
proceeding was trifing. A deputy sheriff
named Williams shot at blacksmith
named POINTER in his own shop. Poynter
returned the fire and missing Williams
shot one of his attendants named Hikok.
Poynter surrendered himself to the civil
authorities. There was considerable COM
motion and Indignation, but no outbreak.
Yet the pretext wanted by the Grant
minions was afforded them, and ragga-
muffin militia, like Kinks lambs in
North Carolina, are quartered on the
people of the county, and tax has been
levied upon them to defray the expenses
of the campaign.
Let our people take warning from this
affair. They will have occasion to bear
and still to forbear. The other day an
armed procession of Radicals marched
through the streets of Canton in defiant
and hostile manner

As the Bankrupt Act to-day may not be
understood by the country at large, 1t is
well to put some OF the important features
of the act as 1t now stands before the peo-
pie, that all who need to take advantage of
this law may do So, before another Congress
meets. 1t is not necessary, as has been sup
posed, that the estate OF the person apply
ing shall pay fifty per cent of all his hebus;
but if tn estate, which comes to the hands
O: the assignee, is sufficient to pay fifty per
cent. OF his individual debts, contracted
since LIST January, 1862 exclusive. OF the
debts contracted before that time, he Is en-
titled to a full discharge from all his debts.
Ii it is not sufficient, still he Is discharged
from all Individual debts contracted before
that time, and from all his security debts
whether contracted before or after that time,
leaving nothing to be paid but his individ-
ual debts contracted alter LIST January, 1869.
Also, the cost of the discharge, official fees
&c, has been considerably reduced, making
the process OF release, &c, much below the
figures of year ago.-N. York Day Book.

County superintendent fPubHHe
schools and The Question of
their COmDeuAaffOm

We understand that the question of
compensation of County Superintendent
of Public Schools, is before the Board of
Supervisors ofLeake county. The Board
are IN doubt as to whether they are au-
thorized to allow such compensation. The
question does not admit Of a doubt
They are clearly not authorized to make
such allowance, and will violate their
oaths of office, and render themselves liza
bic to indictment if they should. The
law of 1870 prescribed that the County
superintendent should receive 50 per
day for actual labor performed, upon
the order of the Board of Supervisors"
This law was repealed by the Code law
Ct 1871. The act to provide for the
adoption of the Code Cart. 1, Sec. s.
provides that after the 1st of October,
1871, the Revised Code ''shall supercede
''and repeal all pre-existing statutes of
general nature, the subjects Of autich are
''hereia revised and consolidated" The
School Law Is a statute ''of a general
nature" and its q subjects are revised
and consolidated. (See Chapter
80, p. 1919, Revised Code, 1919
This law therefore "repeals" the law of
1870, and while it treats of the Office of
County Superintendent, it contains no
provision for his payment, nor authority
to the Board of Supervisors to issue an
order for that purpose.
Not only does the law not authorize
the Boards of Supervisors to make such
allowance, but the members thereof, in
making it without authority of law, will
render themselves liable to Indictment
and severe punishment. Art. 6, sec.
1873, Revised Code, prescribes that the
Boards of Supervisors "shall direct the
appropriation of the money that may
come into the Treasures of their couIf-
ties, bat shall not appropriate the same to
any object not authorized by lar. Sec
1879, declares that ''ifany member of the
Board of Supervisors shall knowingly
vote for the payment of any unauthorized
claim, or any appropriation not author
lied bylaw, he shall be subject to indictment
and on conviction, fined not exceeding
double the amount of such unlawful
charge, or may be imprisoned in the
county jail not more than three months,
or by both such fine and imprisonment"
The same section prescribes like pun
ishment ''to any sheriff, clerk, assessor or
other person who claim or receive from
the Board of Supervisors of any county
any fee or compensation not authorized by
LaaV."
These premises and conclusions are
unavoidable from the law as it now stands.
No compensation whatever is allowed to
County Superintendent by law, and
Boards of Supervisors are prohibited,
under a heavy penalty, from making
such allowance, and Superintendents are
prohibited from preferring and securing
such claim under like penalty, in the alb
sence of law authorizing it. If the law
is defective it is not for the Boards of
Supervisors to apply a remedy. They
and all other persons concerned, must
take the law as they find It, and submit
to the consequences if they presume to
violate it.

How Beet sugar is Made.

The Sacramento Union describes the
factory and processes of the Beet-Sugar
Company who are now operating in the
vicinity of that city:
The factory is frame building, two
stories high, and about 100 feet long by
40 wide, erected at cost of about $780,
600 At one end of the building a tow
er Of sixty feet high is built, at the top
of which large tank is placed, and into
this the water necessary to be used in the
various operations performed is pumped.
The process pursued in the extraction of
the sugar from the beets is claimed to be
far different and much better than that
pursued by other manufactures. The
roots are first cleaned by being placed in
side of huge cylinder which revolves in
tank of water. The cylinder is com
posed of Stats placed a short distance
apart so as to admit of the free ingress
and egress Of the water. The beets then
pass into an elevator, are raised to the
next story above, and pass through ma
chine which cuts them into small pieces.
They next go into what are called "dif-
fusion batteries" -fourteen large, wrought
iron, bark-like tanks, each capable of
con- aiming a ton and quarter of the cut
roots. These fourteen "diffused batter
les" being filled with beets, water brought
by pipe from tank at the top of the
tower, is let In at the top of the first bat
terry. The water thus let on exerts
pressure of some sixty pounds TO the
square inch, and forces the juice of the
beets to the bottom of the tank, where it
escapes into pipe and passes into anoth-
er tank or battery at the top; through
that into the third battery, and so ON,
until all the saccharine juice contained
in the roots in all the 70 rteea tanks is
extracted and drawn out from the last
battery. The juice thus extracted is con-
Quoted into large tank, in which it is
boiled with lime and carbonic acid, to
solidify the impure matter which is con-
tanned in the liquid. 1t is then pressed
through many thicknesses of linen cloth,
to separate the juice from the solid par
ticles The liquid is next filtered through
bone charcoal. and then boiled and filter
ed again, when it is ready for the final
boiling. 1t is placed in a huge metal
vessel and boiled until it is reduced to a
thick strip. This strip is allowed to
stand until the grains of sugar form,
when it is passed through the "centrifu-
gal cylinder" a metal tub about three
feet wide by one and One-half feet deep,
with tub of fine wire cloth and smaller
than the metal cylinder inside Of it. Into
this wire tub the sirup is poured, and the
whole made to revolve at a velocity of
about 1 500 times per minute. The cen
trifugal force thus created is so great as
to force every particle of syrup through
the wire cloth and leave the grains of SUI
gar in the inner tub, dry, and ready for
market The factory has been.establish-
ed about three years, and can work up
about seventy-6ve tons of beets per day.
day. Each ton will make about 200
pounds of sugar.

A Romantic story.

The Caotroville Argus narrates story
of mining discovery
made in the mountains back of Monterey,
which reads like romance, though vouch-
ed for as veritable history. Fifty years
ago a Mexican was recommended by the
Indians to repair to a certain hot spring,
located as above, whose waters were eff
cacious in the cure of rheumatism with
which his wife, Maria Romero was attiict-
ed Having had experience as miner,
he found a silver ledge, specimens of the
rock from which assayed as high as
50 600 He then started for Lower Cal
iiornia, to induce some of his country
mon to engage with him in working the
vein. While on the journey he was
taken sick and died. His widow gath
cred her children about her, and worked
the mine crudely for some time IN secret,
realizing handsome gains, when she went
also to Lower California and died. Years
rolled away, and the circumstances were
all forgotten A Mexican lad, who was
engaged as a game-packer to a party OF
hunters, stumbled across the ledge and
worked it for some time, using his skill
as a practised jeweller in manufacturing
from the silver belt-buckles, rosettes, etc.
He finally consented to lead party OF
Americans to the spot, but before he
could accomplish his purpose, he also
died. DR.. Alderman set to work to dis
cover the surviving Romero children
who were scattered, and in the meantime
lad grown to be men. de was success
full, and gaining clew TO the lost mine,
started out, accompanied by his brother
and a few others, and found it. he re
turned to Monterey few days ago, viii
specimens of the ore, which was estl
mated to assay as high as 81, 800 to tn
ton. The vein is considered exceedingl.
rich, and the ore found to be easily re
ducible. The doctor considers his for
time made, as the mine Is only between
thirty and forty miles from Monterey, Il
an accessible locality.

The Vicksburg Herald, in speaking of
the selection of Gen. J. r. Chalmers,
says:
The selection is a most excellent one, but
will the Gazette please inform us when the
meeting was held to fill the vacancy, and
what members of the Board of Control were
present?
For the information of the Herald we
will state that the Board of Control met
about two weeks since ; there were pres
ent the Chairman, the Secretary, and
Col S. s. Calhoon, by proxy, three be-
ing quorum, also, Gen. j H. Sharp,
member of, the National Committee, who
desired TO confer with the Board. The
Board of the Liberal Republican Com
mittee was in session at the time. There
was no public notice given as it is not at
all necessary, every member of the Board
was notified of the time of meeting by
the Chairman. However, no meeting
was necessary in the case referred to, as
the Chairman could have made the an
nouneement upon the recommendation of
the District members of the Committee,
upon resolution adopted by the Commit
tee at its first meeting The Board OF
Control could not have appointed without
this Recommendation.

The result in Maine came fully up to
the expectations of the Greeley party
who have fought good fight against
overwhelming odds and without the hope
of success. On the 9th of September,
three days before the election, Mr., Kim
ball, the Democratic-Liberal candidate
for Governor wrote to the chairman of
the Democratic National Committee as
follows: 1--WE shall reduce the Radical
majority of 1868 about 10000 votes"
The Radical majority in 1868 was %, 03S.
According to the returns, the present
Radical majority is from 10, 900 to II 900
which shows that it has been reduced
from II 900 to $4,000

The Mongrels in all their recent ven
tions, where they have wrangled like
hounds over the spoils, have undertaken
to tell what they know about each other.
For example, in the Holly Springs meet
ing, according to the Independent South,
Parson Nabers "said Gill (carpet-bag
head-centre) ''was an ignominious man,
"a coward, lying scoundrel, a d d
'dog; that he and Jim Hill (darkey),
"who were seated in the Legislature, re-
"ceived fraudulent votes from DeSoto
"county, and were no more entitled to
''be legislators than he was to the Chan
"cery Clerk" AT this, says the South,
" l.. G. Abbott, who holds four offices
now, and has just been appointed Chief
Supervisor of elections for the Northern
District, interrupted Nabers, when n.
turned upon him, and branded him as
the most infamous scoundrel unhung;
said that he, Nabers, held over his,
Abbotts head, something that would
sink him to hell that if he detied him,
he would tell on him that he dared Abbott
to defy him. Abbott sat dawn, hung his
head, and did not say word during the
balance of the meeting.
These are mere specimens of what
the Mongrel leaders report upon each
other. In whatever else they are false,
their veracity in this testimony will not
be called in question. They certainly
know each other.

A WORD 10 planters.

Our farming friends viii remember
that weeks ago without encouragement
from any quarter, we employed our col
umns diligently in contradicting the false
reports which were circulated in reference
to the extent of the growing cotton crop,
in order to force down prices. With the
same motive to protect their interests,
We will now venture to suggest that it
would be unWise for them to rush their
crops into market further than to meet
their pressing obligations with merchants
and factors who have furnished them
with accommodations.
The cotton plant has been parched by
the hot sun and drouth, and stript of its
foliage by the caterpillar. Consequent
iy the boil is opening prematurely and
the crop viii be gathered long in advance
of ordinary seasons. Its early maturity
will be seized hold of by spectators to
prove that the reports of destruction are
untrue after all; and reaction in prices
adverse to the planters interests, will be
the result.
To guard against a movement of this
sort, it would be advisable for planters,
if they are lucky enough to have any of
their crop on hand after meeting their
urgent obligations and satisfying the re-
morseless demands of the tax-gatherers,
to withhold from market until January,
February or March next, or even later,
according to circumstances. Planters in
easy circumstances will consult their own
interest by adopting this course; and
will at the same time play into the hands
of that large class whose necessities do
not allow them the exercise of any dis
cretion whatever

The Greeley and Brown electors should
remember that while their selection was
an expression of confidence in their
ability and devotion to the cause, it was
not intended as personal compliment.
The party of equal rights is in no condi-
ton to crafty ambition, nor to bestow
honors. They were assigned to posts of
honor in order that they might render
service. Failing in this duty, they will
wrong themselves and wrong the party
which has confded its interests to their
keeping.
