Oar kilograms reveal an awful condi-
ton IN Arkansas. Baxter. one Of the
prttsudsrs to the Goyernorship OF thai
unhappy State. telegraphs to President
Gran, that bIoodshed is likely to take
place. Is it not humiliating, disgrace
fol condition Of affairs that two wretched
miserable aspirants for position that 1t
is most probable they are utterly I'M
worthy Of. should embroil whole COM
munity and endanger human life. 1t is
probable that neither OF these brazsn
faced preteBders, OF both together are
worth drop OF the blood that Baxter SO
smugly telegraphs to the Presiden, is
likely to shed. II they were both sent
out TO sled each others blood, that
would be their proper destination. But
these kind Of fellows always get some one
else to fight their battles. They do not
take any chances themselves. Is it moi
remarkable that they find men silly
enough to sacrifice their lives for-whati

mol imperil finger to save the lives Of Q
thousand of their deluied followers. The

Is the Eureka Sentinel OF the 10Th, We
fud very able and exhaustive review Of
the mines in thlt region. From this it
appears that the great trouble in that
region is the question Of fuel, which very
shortly threatens to become SO scarce and
dear that it will not be possible to carry
on mining operations probably. We
give the following extracts from the Sen
tinel remarks on the matter:
The charcoal question is now being
very extensively discussed, and should
be, because it is one OF no little interest
to our citizens. The available fuel sup
ply is every day becoming scantier and
scantier under the increased demands
which our furnaces have each successive
year made upon it. 1t is well known
that charcoal is one Of the chief agents
employed to promote the prosperity Of
our camp, and anything that tends to
both cheaper aud increase its supply
must be matter OF some concern to all
interested. There is but very little wood
Of any sort available for coal to be met
with on the hills within radius OF 70
miles of Eureka, and the area of the cir
Gle is every day rapidly extending itself.
Coal or coke We must have If We would
continue smelling operations. Should
the former give out, or the price per
bushel advance to such figure as would
render it too dear for profitable use, it
follows that the only substitute we can
fall back upon to supply its place with
any degree OF profit to consumers, is the
latter article.

THE CURRENCY.

A deep and earnest feeling Of public
sentiment is being aroused in the East in
favor of measures looking to the speedy
resuption of specie payments. 1t is
very cheering sign that the people are
not to be humbugged with the artful
tales of the currency thinkers, who are
mostly like the men arguing metaphys-
les, of whom hard headed Scotchman
once said: The man who was talking
knew nothing about his subject and the
man that was listening did not understand
the others explanation. SO it was a very
foggy affair all round. That is about the
condition Of the financial question in
Congress. But the people are going TO
take hand in the matter. They think,
and very justly, that it is very dishonor.
able to the name of the American peo-
pie to have four hundred millions of
protested paper floating around. They
think that they can do better than that,
and they can if they only try. There
fore it is encouraging to see that they
are trying. A large meeting has been
held at Boston, attended by some Of the
most influential men of that city. At
this gathering resolutions were passed
condemning all additions to the bulk OF
irredeemable promises to pay. and re-
quiring the early redemption of specie
payments. 1t was also proposed to at
tempt to establish an organization
throughout the country, the object of
which is to place the circulation on o
sound and satisfactory basis. This is as
it should be, and every well wisher of
the country cannot but rejoice at the
evidence OF so sound and healthful O
public sentiment on so important mat
