AN INDIGNANT ARKANSAS PAPER

are not entirely opposed to lawlessness

THIS cowardly bully. He should be kick

die, his death unhonored and unsungi
but the scream of the night-owl, the
wall of the panther, and the dismal
howlings of the mountain wolves, should
chant and sing his lullaby, and his bou>

The Congressional committee sent to
investigate affairs in Louisiana, in the
majority report just made, holds the
following language: That in November,
1874, the people of the State of Louisiana
did fairly have a free peaceable, and full
registration and election, in which a
clear majority of Conservatives was
elected to the lower house of the Legisn
lature, of which majority the Conser-
vatives we're deprived by the unjust, il
legal and arbitrary action Of the return
ing board.
Be it remembered that majority of
this committee are Radicals, and they
do not believe that Kellogg is the lawful
governor oil the State What will Rad,
zeal Congress do now upon the evidence
of their own committee is the question
The legislature that was organized with
Wilt as speaker, and which was disper-
sed by Federal bayonets, knew that they
were the legally elected represe natives
of the people, and, there fore, held on till
driven out by the military It is net
known what action congress will take in
this matter between this and the Attn of
March, but it is thought that compro~
mise will be effected by which Kellogg
will remain governor and the Conserva~
tiyes will get the lower house in aceors
dance with the election returns as they
really were before they were manipula,
ted by the corrupt returning board 1t
! seems that the Conservatives are willing
to submit to this compromise for the
sake of restoring peace to their State, and
humiliating as it is, it does appear to be
about the best they can get
Major Y. :. Patton who was Quarter
Master of Hardee's corps at the close Of
the war had one leg crushed by a mov~
ing train at Nashville last week, and died
in three hours.
His family were already aboard the
train and in an attempt to get aboard
after the train started, he fell under the
wheels. He had long been connected
with the railroad and was familiar
with the movement of trains.

Will 1t pay Healthy House Wife
to Hire a Cook


Any one taxing birds eye view of
this subject would readily say hat it is
question of but little Importance and
would require but little consideration.
but after properly applying the figures
and closely scrutiHizng the subject We
are bound to admit that it is of some IN
pOrtance. We will notice the question
in a financial point of view, and try to
show what cook costs per annum and
cooks generally hire from $50 to 500.
Suppose we take cheap cook, she like
all other articles Of a cheap character,
is cheap because she has Objectionable
qualities and Is not worth much Then,
! we Will suppose she IL young and awk-
ward, or Is lazy and needs watching. In
either case so much of the housewife
time is taken up atten ling to her cook
that there Is but very little time left T
making the $50 to pay her. Suppose her
board cost $40. This would add more
to the fifty dolla cost which would be
Cne-hundred and twenty dollars She
my be roguish and will steal twenty-five
or thirty dollars worth and this added to
the above expenses would make SI45
she will waste : 35 or $40 worth of pro
vision say thirty FIVE dollars worth, u I'D
that added TO the Sl45 wouId make $3.50
the cook would cost in one year, besides
the interest on same These are plain
figures and the housewife will do we'll
to make one-third or even one~ffth Of
the expenses. 80 there is clear loss
Of Sl2O if she makes Cne-third the
expenses.
Now we will take a cook ut one~hun~
dred and twenty dollars per year Sup
pose she is honest which Is a rare quali>
ty She NAV be wasteful. Then the
housewife mus5 have very p-oftab
mpiUy ment if she meets expenses. Now
besides expenses there is another TT uble
to be considered. She may be dirty, tat,
Ting or saucY. Besides the faults here
tofore mentioned, the housewife vexed
cut of all patience. her temper is spoiled,
she boxes her children and scOlds her
husband Then there is disc lrd in the
family. Oh who wonld not rather coak
as long as she can walk, than to have
such a scene as this Taking al into
consideration, we do not think II will
pay a healthy woman TO hire cook

Up to Monday last, of the large num-
Der Of bills introduced 10 both houses Of
the Legislature, only four had become
laws. One of these is an Act to regulate
trials by jury in civil cases, and under
which, in many instances, juries may be
dispensed with, except upon the demand
of one of the parties The Clerk is re-
CURED to keep Jury docket" and a
'nonjury docket ;" The Judge has the
option to try the 4jurY causes" either
before or after the "non>jurY causes"
and during the trial of the latter no ju~
ry is required to be in attendance upon
the court.

week when the extreme Radicals were
trying to seat Pinchback. the negro
