Money.

Oar readers will have, long be-
fore this paragraph meets .heir
eye. heard all about the fearful
money panic that is devastating the
financial centers of the country.
Under radical rule these "panics "
have become q part and parcel of
the financial system Of the country,
without which, at least once year,
the favorites Of the court of Ulysses
gould not well get along. The on
ly remedy that we can suggest to
our people is to live on corn bread
and bacon for one year, work hard
and at the end of that time we can
sit and look on at the wreck of the
|leviathans Of commerce and trade
ery much as old Noah may be
opposed to have done from the
ndows of the ark upon drowning
panityat the delugc. The City

The steamer Continental left

some distance beyond Allen was ta-

o'clock the boat reached Chanteau
Island, about fourteen miles above
st. Louis and nearly opposite
MItchcll's station, on the Chicago
and Alton railroad, whore the boat
landed and the ring was set. Allen
entered the ring first and was fol-
lowed at once by McCoole. After

Arthur Chambers and Parsey
shepherd acting for Allen, and
Tom Kelly and Dublin Tricks fer
McCoolc. The umpires were, Mike
Gauley for Allen and James Bran
nell for McCoole. Aliens colors
were white and blue, McCoolo's
green, Allen won the toss for cor
ners and chose the southeast cor
nor. Everything being nearly
ready fer the fight to commence,
the crowd became orderly. Bet
ting slow. Everybody seems to
expect n square fight. Both men
are in splendid condition.
LATER-A brief dispatch from
the battle ground says Allen won
the fight in nine rounds, lasting
twenty minutes; also got first
blood and first knock down.

THE SCHOOL FUND.
To the County Treasurers Of the

LITTLE Rock, September % 1873.
GENTLEMEN: today received
from Hon. J. C. Corbin, supcrintcn-
dent of public instruction, arequisi-
ton upon the Auditor OF State for
the amount due Pulaski County
from the state school fund-say
Sl7 ,O00-which | presented TO the
auditor for the purpose of obtain
ing warrant for that amount.
That officer made an Endorsement
upon the requisition to the effect
that he would not honor it until he
had consulted with the attorney
general. | soon after met Judge
Yonley, law officer of the state, who
expresses himself as unqualitiedIy
opposed to the payment Of the re-
quisition, and said that by his adj
vice the auditor would never issue
a warrant for the money. | then
consulted with able legal gentle
men, in whose opinion | have every
confidence, and their advice is to
resort TO the courts for redress.
| therefore call upon you to join
me in making this a test case, for
as the decision in the matter OF
Pulaski County may be, so will ii
be for the other counties.
Hoping to hear from the treasu.
rers of all the counties at their ear

the forfeited lands in Fulton and
Madison.
The Gazette of the 2lst. contains
the following:
Sheriff John p. Bull, of Hemp
stead County, accompanied by Il
posse of men, arrived in the city
last night on the train from Fulton
with six prisoners, sentenced to
the pcnitentiary by Judge King
ston, at Washington, on Thursday
last. John Barker, for counter
feiting, goes in for three years /;
John Keith, an old man, convicted
Of murder in the second degree,
received thirteen years; Lindsay
Stoddard (col.), received eight
years for grand larceny; Peyton
Monroe (col) goes up tor three
years for similar ohense james
Rivers for grand larceny received
two years. lie was formerly the
well known Jimmy Rivers, who
travelled with Coles circus. Hank
Muldraw receives one year for
grand larceny. Deputy Sheriff
Williams accompanied the posse,
and they had their hands full to
keep the prisoners from escaping,
as they were constantly making
attempts. Rivers and Barker
made an attempt to escape from
the cars, but were foiled. For the
past few days, there have been CON
fined at the jail at Washington,
thirty-siX prisoners.
Baker, the counterlciter, says he
is an old friend of John Mcclure,
the chief justice, and does not want
him to know OF his confinement.
He says he went to school with
John and knew him when he chop
ped wood tor Il living.
A number of these men are hard
cases from Fulton, while others are
eases of long standing.
An attempt was made about 9
o'clock Saturday night, to assassin
ate Mr.. Ed. Green, county clerk OF
Johnson, who was lying in bed at
his office in Clarksville at the time.
Two shots were fired, (about a halt
an hour between them), into his
window, but fortunately neither
took effect. The shots were heard
by u number of persons but no
arrests were made.
TIE Memphis appeal, always in
the right says: "The call for an
election in Arkansas, for the pur-
pose Of filling vacancies in the leg
islature, will afford the Conserva-
tive and Democratic voters of that
state an opportunity of testing their
strength. They have now, under
Baxter, as fair system ofregistra-
ton as they can hope to enjoy I'M
til they can amend their constitu-
ton, and we trust they will avail
themselves of it, register, vote and
send men to the legislature who
will determine upon constitution
al convention to frame q new con
stitution, and so complete the work
of reform. Let there be no divis-
ion, and the people act as ore
man."

Sneakinr of Xanderhilt,s i'm

Speaking of Vanderbilt's i'm
mense wealth, the Graphic
argues that "the financial C8-
sar is a blessing rather than a
curse to society. He puts a
check on the rapacity and pow
er of corporations. Corpora
tons are impersonal and irre>
sponsible. Public censure does
not pierce the scales of their
armOr. When a man enters a
corporation meeting he leaves
his conscience, like his over~
shoes, outside the door, and
ceases to be a man until the
meeting adjourns.
