TAX RAILROAD LANDs.-Mr. Kendall
made use of happy and forcible eI-
preston when he remarked that either
these lands were the property of the rail-
roads or they were not. II they were,
the railroads ought to pay taxes on them,
and if they were not, they ought to be
thrown open to settlement. This is an
unanswerable proposition that the rail-
roads will find it very difficult to wiggle
ont Of; that is, if Congress does its duty,
a contingency not at all likely to happen
with the present array Of railroad attor'
neys and lobby agents that now disgrace
the national forum. But these fellows
will not always be there. The people
are waking up to the necessity Of taking
the reins of government from the hands
OF the lobby and jobbers, and the
next Congress is likely to be very
differently constituted. 1t is high
time it was, for at the present the law
making power is controlled by the great
railroad corporations. The result is that
there is one law for them and another
for the private citizen in bearing the
burden of State and national govern.
ment-a condition of things that is TN.
Just and much to be deprecated.

IAkIS, June 10. - Auo nePuchS"n
journals commend highly the votes Of
the Right and Left Centers yesterday
against the restoration of a Monarchy.
They say it shows that Monarchy is
impossible. The Orleanist journals con-
slider the action of the Assembly leaves
the situation unchanged, but thinks the
consequence will be a consolidation OF
McMahon powers.
In the Assembly to-day, on reading
the journal of yesterdays proceedings,
loud complaints were made by the mem
bers, of the inaccuracy Of the list of the
yeas and nays. General Cissey and
three others said they voted in favor OF
the motion. A deputy who voted against
the motion, declared that seven members
of the Left whose names were recorded
in its favor, we're absent when the vote
was taken. BE demanded the rectifica-
ton of the vote which, according to his
statement, ought to stand $3.50 Alternatives
to $40 negative. De Franchieu, OF the
extreme Fright, formally moved that
the vote in question be declared viod.
Buffet, President of the Assembly, main.
tanned the validity of the record. The
Right Center presented constitutional
resolution defining the powers OF Presi-
dent Mcmahon. Referred.
The Left have abandoned for the pres
ent the agitation for the dissolution OF
the Assembly, because they hope for the
organization of Republic.

No wonder. The poor fellow had become

The Supreme Court and State Scrip.

The following review of the decision
of the majority of the Supreme Court on
the State Scrip question, is from the Lit
tie Rock Republican of the 2lst
On yesterday we referred briefly to the
importance of the opinion delivered by
Sudge Gregg, in The case Of English VS.
Oliver, and we take occasion again to ex.
plain more fully to the general reader tho
effects of the decision AS it is the opin
ion Of the court upon question of great
public interest, and careful and elabor.
ate review and determination of the ques-
ton respecting the rccevability of State
Scrip for taxes, it will attract very gener
al attention throughout the State. After
passing upon the validity Of the revenue
act of 1878, which was assaled on the
ground that the journals did not show it
was read the number of times required
by the constitution, and finally and deci
sively disposing of this objection, the
opinion proceeds to affirm the power Of
the Legislature over counties, cities and
towns, holding that these sub divisions
and corporations are the mere creatures
Of the legislature, and entirely within its
control so far as their public rights and
privileges are concerned. The case spe
cilcally holds that State Scrip is receiva
bic in payment OF all state, county, school
and district school, and municipal taxes,
and all debts whatever due to the state
This includes all state taxes for "gcner-
al purposes" and all taxes for school
purposes. Certificates Of the treasurer
issued before March 25th, 1871, are also
receivable in payment of interest on the
public dett; and warrants or certificates
issued prior to April %, 1873, are receiv-
able in payment of all licencies required
of wholesale or retail liquor dealers
The treasurer's warrants are held to be
receivable in payment for all taxes levied
for general county purposes, for the poor
tax, the bridge, road, district school tax,
the county public building tax, and for
any other ones which have accrued since
the passage Of the act under which the
certigcatcs were issued. And it is also
receivable in payment Of all city taxes,
including city taxes for schools, streets,
and license purposes 1t is also made
receivable for ALL DEBTS due to the State
including fines, forfeitures, escheats, dues
for estrays, for internal Improvement
lands, seminary lands, school lands, and
bank lands; and, indeed, for almost all
obligations or contracts, excepting where
contracts had been made previous to the
issue of the scrip or certificates.

Where the Money Goes.

Beaumont Colonel, so called in his
vaporings in Western Arkansas last fall,
told his hearers that the l.. r and +. 5.
r p Co. was running at loss of $4,000
a month. We aU beiieped his paiarer.
Where some Of the money went, can be
seen below
The following items in W. S. Oliver's
account as Sheriff of Pulaski County in
charge Of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad and allowed by the Ring Board
Of Directors, should be known to the
people living along the line of the road
The entire account is no doubt made up
and is in every respect similar to these,
to wit:
A charge of Four Hundred Dollars for
constructing Platform at Pots in Pope
County. Mr.. Potts furnished the lumber
and built tho platform for his own and
neighbors convenience and at cost of
Only Thirty Dollars.
Oliver charged Ono Thousand Dellar,
for constructing Platform, etc at Atkins.
This was built by three merchants and
cost only Seventy .frs DoNars.
divers account allowed by the ring
board, foots up FVty-Mrec Thousand
and odd dollars. A very nice little sum,
,udee,! ii these stringent days,
1t ia the opinion Of sundry good citi.
zens Of Little Rock, that Oliver has re-
ceived this money as sheriff, and now
trumps up this account, so to retain it
His account is unsupported by single
voucher Truly his impudence is sub.
lime He is a type of the genius carpet
bagger, and unblushingly steals from the
people Of Pulaski County. It's devout-
ly to be hoped, he will be made do the
State some service by breaking stone IN
the Pcnitentiary. -.
