tended TO benefit the Democratic party.
Thinly disguised as the proc edings Of
the conspirators have been, it required
but little knowledge of the vicious intent
of the Southern Democracy to discover in
them design TO steal into a Republican
Congress under a cloak of deception,
which would be thrown of as soon as cir
Cumstances would permit, to show States
rights theories and utter reputation Of
the reconstruction acts in the ascendancy.
The Little Rock Gazette, commenting on
this point, is foolish enough to expose the
project in the following blunt manner:
'AnOther thing. It will be impossible for
Congress, if it were so disposed, to pass bill
for a new reconstruction of the State before
the 4th of March. With the checks which
the Democrats and Conservative Republicans
in both houses can throw in the way, all legis-
lation of the character mentioned can be
thwarted. A Democratic Congress goes into
power on the 4th of March. So the faint
hearted and timid, who jump every time they
hear a stick crack by the roadside, can keep
themselves with patience, join the militia and
be prepared to sustain Arkansas government
against all pretenders, should any emergency
of that kind arise"
We ask: What does this mean? The
"faint-hearted" men of Arkansas. who are
worthy citizens who desire that good gov
eminent shall be maintained, are urged
now, as they were before the war of seces-
sion was precipitated, TO join the militia
" against all pretenders should any emer-
" gency of that kind arise" And what is
the character of the possible emergency?
Simply that Republican Congress may do
its duty to retain, under the reconstruction
acts, Republican State within the Repub-
lican fold; that it shall compel a faithful
compliance with the pledges made when
the State s.'readmitted; and that Com
monwealth which it is acknowledged has a
Republican majority shall not be wrested
by reasonable violence from the privileges
which are guaranteed to it by Republican
control If a Republican Congress does
this the Arkansas militia is expected to
meet the emergency.
What palmer admonition of duty can be
required by the dominant party in Con-
gTess than is TO be found in those signii-
cant sentences? The Democratic House
which the Gazette mistakes for a Demo-
cratic Congress, will convene after the 4th
Of March next. and will certainly retain
Garland and his Democratic gang in power
They have thrown down the gauntlet to
us to make it party question. Shall we
take it up? If we do we shall have right
and justice with US, and the victory will be
ours. Remember that it is not necessary
that Congress should ''pass bill for new
reconstruction of the State" All that is
required is TO assert the supremacy of the
constitution of 1868, and TO direct the au-
thorities to sustain in their respective offices
the officers who in 1872 were elected I'M
der that constitution.

THE BUSINESS OF RICHHOED.

lChlcagO Tribune correspondence
The war prostrated, for the period orlts contin.
usnce, the principle business-interests OF Rich
mond. Though trade is now better here than it
has been since the beginning Of the war, nearly If
teen years ago it has not yet reached that activity
which prevailed for few years previously to and
embracing the year 1880. Nor should 1t be forgot
ten that the greatest branch Of business which
formerly prevailed here has been utterly de-
stroyed. can best illustrate this by an incident
Of my own visit. l was standing, the other morn
ing, in front Of the Exchange Hotel, which, with
Ballard'E-whith witch II is connected by an aroh-
way across the streets very much the largest
hosiery in the city, when an acquaintance from
Washington, formerly a citizen OfRichmOnd, came
up inquired presently "HoW il happened that
this, the largest hotel in Richmond, was ohucked
away down here, in an out f-the-Way and unln-
terestng part Of the city" " "That question"
said he ''cOnclusiTely shows that you never were
In Richmond before the war. Down yonder -
pointing three four or more blocks sway-"used
to be the slavemarts. Iforget Just how many there
were, but there were several. And before the
war, the great trade Of Richmond was the slave
trade. This hotel was the most co1Ven ent to the
slaTeauetionsi and that is why it Is here"

CONSOLIDATION OF THE DIS.
TRICT DEBT.

Senator Conkling's bill consolidating the
debt of the District and reducing the rate
of interest provides that the difference in
interest paid between what the United
States Government now indirectly guaran-
tees and what it would pay by the direct
issue of a four per cent. bond, q sum
amounting to nearly $500, 900 per annum,
shall be used as a sinking fund for the pay
ment of the debt of the District, which
would eXtinguish the same in about forty
years. This is the difference between do
ing directly and indirectly the same thing
To make the matter still more simple and
economical the share of interest TO be paid
by the Government should be permanently
fixed. This, at one half of four per cent.
on the gross debt, estimating the same to
reach eighteen millions, would be $500, 900
per annum, and would tighten the burden
Of taxation OF private property by just that
amount.

"A Voyage Down an Unknown River"

"A Voyage Down an Unknown River"
In SCRIBNER for JANUARY we begin the
| thrilling narrative by MAJ. POWELL, of his yoy-
age Of discovery down the Canon Of the Colorado,
almost literally voyage through the centre of
the earth.
The cliffs lowered sometimes more than a mile
above the heads of the travellers, involving them
in gloom, and hiding from their sight the dan.
gers toward which they were hurried by the i'm
petuous torrent.
The narrative is enlivened by charming bits OF
description of the gentler and more beautiful
phases Of nature, which were strangely mingled
with those weird and awful scenes.
A part Of the expedition, refusing to go forward
upon what seemed an insane Journey, turned
aside and met death in the wilderness
The Illustrations will be marTels of engraving,
the finest we have ever produced.
We shall shortly begin a series entitled:
"A Farmers Vacation in Europe"
By Colonel GEORGE E. WARING, Of Oguen Farm,
near Newport, r. l., which will deal in a prac-
teal and picturesque way with the industries and
peculiarities Of the quaint peoples OF Holland,
Normandy and the Channel Islands. These
papers will also be fully illustrated.
"THE STORY OF SEVENOAKs..
The principal serial story OF the year, which be.
gins III lne january issue, Is written by Dr. HOL-
LAND, the conductor Of The Monthly. For twenty
years the American public have been appreei-
atively familiar with his work, and the fact rem.
ders unnecessary any word Of commentator from

the new story will be quite unique among his pro-
auctions, in its material and handling.
In the extensive list OF illustrated material now
in course Of preparation, which It is expected will
be published during the coming year, are occa-
siOnal brilliant papers on French Life and Ltera-

Europe, Asia and America, by competent hands;
descriptive papers on Chicago, Richmond, BaltI-
more, San Francisco, and other cities; sketches of
curious phases OF vegetation, etc., etc.

The Hartford CouTant prints an extract from
letter written by gentleman of that city,
who was in the South at the time some of the
correspondents Of the Northern press were Wis
iting that section investigating the outrages
and the state Of public sentiment. The ''facts"
were ascertained according to him after the
following fashion: "He (the correspondent
comes here to the capital of the State and is
taken in hand by the leaders Of the Democracy
and the editors Of their papers is invited out
TO dine with them and drink their liquors and
over a good dinner and a supply of wine
told that the stories OF murders and whippings
in the back counties, two hundred miles from
here, are all lies. He comes back to the hotel,
escorted by one or more of these men to see
that he does not by chance fall into hands that
would tell and prove to him a different state of
things, sits down and writes a letter to his
paper, saying that all is quiet, and the only
cause of complaint is against Republicans.
He knows no more of what he writes than if
he were writing from a room in the Astor
house. The treatment he receives from the
hands of those who for a purpose make his
stay pleasant for him, being so much better
than he is accustomed to, turns his head and
he writes not Of what he has seen, but of what
he is told by interested parties"

JOHN q. WHITTIER says:
ait is little to say of this magazine that It is the
best child's periodical in the world, and think
the editor has great reason to congratulate her
self upon it,
BAYARD TAYLOR writes:
1.-The Typography, illustrations and general ar
rangement are wholly admirable and delightful"
Rev. q. S. ROBINSON, D. D., in the Sunday
School Times, gives clergyman view:
liam ready to say that a cleaner purer, more
trustworthy periodical for children cannot be
named. The best writer's are engaged upon #.
1t is printed beautifully, and illustrated in the
highest style Of art. 1 know the proprietors,
and If ever high, noble purpose was cherished
by any public people, 1t is found here. The mag
aZine does lot claim to be religious, but 1t is on
the side Of all that is true and good, from begin
ming to end"
DR.. r. SHELTON MACKENZIE, the Literary
Editor Of the Philadelphia Press, says
"ST. NICHOLAS, 1 tell y0u in private, as have
told my readers In public. is the very best maya
zine for young people that have ever seen. 1t
is far more difficult think to edit periodical of
this class than one intended for adults, and Mrs.
Dodge deserves unlimited praise for the judlcious
manner in which she has executed her task. 1

and certainly surpasses any ChiIdrens ear Book,
English or American, that have ever seem"
CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER saysl
Never before, think, has so much literary and
artistic talent co.operated in the service of chill
dren, and will not resist the hearty impulse to
say to you that you have made the best magazine
for children of all ages that have ever seen. 1
do not see how It can be made any better, and if

to change the kind Of children in this country"
