AIRY, 1875, publishers OF newspapers will
be required to pay postage in advance at
the mailing office, under the new postal
law, on all newspapers sent to subscrib-
ers out Of the county wnere published
This arrangement makes it necessary
that all subscriptions should be paid in
advance. Consequently all subscribers
in arrears must pay up, As 1T is not just
or reasonable that we should be asked
to pay the postage in delinquent cases,
Two dollars and City cents in advance

BOURBONISM.

Mrs. Sallie A Reid was elected, nnan-
imously, engrossing clerk of the house,
Friday. This is but just appreciation
of the lady's abilities for the position,
aud we are glad her qualifications were
so unanimously acknowledged by q dem
ocratic legislature.--V. b. Press.
The action of the Arkansas House of
Representatives,, shows that that body is
composed of anything else but Bourbon
material Indeed, they are far III advance
of any similar body in the country
either democratic or republican. The
speaker, Mr. Pennington, is a regular old
line whig the chief clerk, Col Gaulding
an old line emocrat-bourbon, if you
please; the assistant clerk, Colonel &. e.
Reid is republican; the enrolling clerk
is republican, and colored man at that
"a real live black man, educated at How.
ard University, and resident Of Arkan-
sas about a year; the engrossing clerk
is a most estimabe lady, the wife Of the
assistant clerk.| If there is anything
which sounds like bourbonism in this or
ganization, or anything that shows a re-
kndlng Of the rebel GreS--anything
which points to retrogression, we would
like for that vcracious journal, the Chica-
go Inter Ocean, to point it out, If this
organization does not show, in terms
louder than words, that the representa-
tives of Arkansas are fully up with the
progressive age in which we live, and
even beyond the yankee idea at that, then
We are mistaken, What other body in
the United States can show less Of preju-
dice in its organization, toward all colors,
