We think our good brother Of the
Telegraph does great injustice to
more (and we are glad to say it,)
than one>half Of the press of
the State, when it asserts that their
columns can be bought with price.
The columns Of two of the leading
papers in the the State, have been
bought repeatedly, and one or two .
tine Or no. Ths recent advertise.
ment Of the News, we are inclined to
believe, was sharp trick, by which
some sprightly papers were made to
appear as partizans of that sheet.
Some Of the more candid among them
feel themselves strong enough to re,
call, what they simply meant to be
understood as the ordinary business
notice Of q new advertisement. The
Mexia Ledger, and the Navasota
Tablet, are cases In point. We can
not believe that there is more than
two or three papers in Texas
who can be hired for the purpose Of
editorial advertising. The bare a..
sumption ia an argument in favor
of the existence of . depth of vsnal-
ity and meney- getting that we be.
lieve is foreign altogether to Texan
character, and especially the charac-
ter Of the Texan press. Were there
more of that class among them, the
members of the . rofession would not
be as poor a. church mice, as the
majority undoubt edly are. Your po'
sition requires little explanation.

Arkansas Trouble ..

LlITLE Rock, May 13.-The par
ties had q sharp skirmish yesterday,
with varied results, when the Fed.
eral troops interferred, and the mobs
returned to their respective quarters.
Baxter lost q horse and had one man
wounded. 1t is reported that the
Brooks party had eight men killed
and wounded.
As soon as the skirmlsh on the out
skirts yesterday was known in the
city, Colonel Rose gave orders to
have it stopped. One company
formed behind q barricade, facing
Bsxter's line, with loaded guns, and
got ready to prevent their advance.
Another company, under command
OF Lieut.. Noble, marching toward
the battlefield, halted halfway, and
an officer went ahead.
Col. Rose vas sosn seen riding
toward Baxter's lines, which had then
moved back toward the city.
Lieut.. MORRISON and Col. Rose both
galloEed to different points to stop
the firing. Their efforts were ineffec.
tual, however, and the firing now be-
came sharper, and nearer toward the
city. Now the regulars marched be.
tween, but sooR returned to their
original position, and the firing be-
tween the pickets was now inter-
mittent.
Baxter sent out infantry to support
White. When two blocks from the
State House, and passing it, they

This is the light in which the pa.
pers of the State look at the "pufiing
dodge" of the News, in connection
with the public prioting matter. We
must say that the Mercury, in the
paragraph below, has "knocked the
black out" to q dot. A few more such
cards as General Barnes and Ryan's
will open the eyes Of the readers OF
that paper to fact which is patent
to others, and that is, there is nothing
too mean tor the News to do, pro-
viding always, that there is consld.
Grafton behind it:
"lt seems to us that the 'puffing"
business that the News has been en-.
gagged in for the last few years is
rather on the principle Of chm bing up
one step and slipping back t,co. It
gets into . "hose" and has to adver.
tise in every paper in the State to get
itself "pufied" ous again. But no
sooner 10 it pretty well out than 1t
tumbles into another, deeper than
ever, and has to 60 through the same
process again. Il would be interests
ing to note the comments of the press
Of the State on she subject Of the
Galveston News o month ago, and
those made in the last few days on
the subject Of the public prictiDg."

following pregnant truths in the De-
cember number of the Sanitarian:
1--WE must prove to the laborer, the
artisan, the tradesman, the farmer, to
the fathers and mothers, and to the
children, that unhealthy homes are of
their own creation, and that smallpox,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, me ISLES,
whooping-cough, and the whole brood
of domestic diseases, arelargelyof their
own cultivation. And these truths
must be reiterated until the community

of the causation and prevention of do

common education"
Epidemic diptheria is attracting
much attention. M. Gendron, an emil
nent French physician, says: "Epi-
demic is the effect and not the cause of
ccntagion." OF course if there was
no self-propagating germs called con-
tagion or infection, there would be no
epidemics. But how shall the living
germs of scarlet fever, whooping-cough,
diptheria, measles, and the rest, be ex-
terminated? Human progress demands
that these ailments and a thousand
and one others, be left behind. When

WHATAHS rs?

Farmer c., IN his communication,
asks the UNION AND AMERICAN few
questions about matters on which we
think we ought to be fully understood
by this time. We hold that all fnan-
cial legislation should keep steadily in
view a return to the United States Con-
stitution. which authorizes Congress to
coin money, but not to print it. The
country at large is not suffering so
much from a redundancy of currency
as from a contraction Of all industrial
operations in consequence Of a
contraction of confidence. There
Is unquestionably a redundancy
In the money centres, as there was
when Jay Cooke found eighty millions
lying around loose to sink in his rail
road to the North Pole. But there is
a scarcity of currency in the ''proyin-
cial" districts. We suspect that this
miserable inequality of distribution
inheres in any centralized system such
as the present one. We doubt that any
national system could be devised to
reconcile the differing and discordant
financial interests Of Massachusetts,
and Missouri, or New York and Ten
nessee. Greenbacks gravitate to
the money centers with the same faci...
ity as national bank notes. Thee ues-
ton is, whether any system can be
permanent and secure us permanent
prosperity, such as we enjoyed before
the war, unless it be accommodated TO
local needs, Just like our local manage
ment of the political, social and indus
trial interests of society general Y.
This question is likely to seceive gen
eral discussion IN all the States, within
a short while, so soon as the boiling of
the pot throws off all the financial froth
now appearing on the surface, and we

SUNDRT Of our Northern exchanges
seem 70 have an impression that the
Democratic candidate for Congress
man, from the Fourth District of this
State, has already been nominated, and
that the venerable Bale Peyt5n Is the
man. The Near York Tribune, for IN
stance, remarks:
1t is to be hoped that the honest and
order loving voters Of the Fourth Con
gressional District Of Tennessee may be
numerous enough 70 elect their candi-
date, the Hon. Bale PeytJn, 10 the
vacancy occasioned by the death of the
Congressman elect. Mr.. PeyUon is
one Of those sound and honorable
public men who resisted the folly Of
secession as long as 1t was possible,
and mas since lived entirely withdrawn
from political life That he Is willing
to come before the people again, and
that they are willing to vote for him, is
a fact as honorable to the citizens of
the district as it is TO Nr. PeytJn. He
would greatly strengthen the Tonnes
see delegation in Congress, which has
never been too strong since the war.
