About Fees.

It will not be a great while un- til the general assembly will con vene again, according to adjourn ment, and there is very impor- tant matter that we hope the news papers of the state generally will call the attention of members to, and that is the fee bill. We will not say anything about printers fees in this, as that matter has been partially provided for in the appointment of a committee by the press association to look after their interests, but, in the matter of officers fees, we wish to call es- pecial attention. For the life of us we cannot discover anything but kind of false economy in the reduction that has been made in the fees of sheriffs, clerks, justices and constables. Litigants pay the most of their fees. The result must be increased litigation and less capable officers. Wherein is the economy to the state? The state must lose by having incom- potent officers, and we cannot have competent and faithful officers iong without respectable compen- sation. It may be that some will answer, "Oh, but we never fail of a big crop of candidates about election time" That may be true, but will capable men want a poor office when they can do bet ter at something else? We judge not, for the most patriotic man you can find wants either pay or honor for his public services. The great amount of business be- fore the last legislature, the nee essary hurry, and the feeling that the most rigid economy was nec- essary to get out of the condition in which radical rule placed us, excuses somewhat the imperfec- tions of the law, and we doubt not that the legislature at it's next session will correct the mistakes that time has discovered.-Des Arc Citizen.

bank of Riddle fattened off of the peculiar privileges granted to it by the government, and our pres ent national banks are contrivan- ccs by which the government an- thorizes favored class to pluck the government goose, except the pin feathers, which are left for the people. But who has right to say that we are not a hard money party to-day? What IS there Tn our recent record to con trovert that idea? There is not a democrat in the land who will op
 pose the resumption of specie payment when it can be brought about without paralizing indus tries and impoverishing and dis dressing the people. But we do not make such an idol of metallic coin as to be willing to breed com munistic revolts and fill our lands with paupers to force resumption. We fully reallze that with ten thousand millions of indebtedness public and private, and the vast volume of business represented by it, that speedy resumption is ab- solutely impossible, without bringing immense distress and disaster to every class of our pop ulation except the bond holder and the money changer. The many congressional pledges of resumption in 1879 hang like q pail over the business of the coun- try. Prudent men have been following the example of retract- ion set by the government. They have been drawing their means out of active business, and secu- ring it in real property; they are closing up their manufacturies; they refuse to go into new enter
 prises, and the result IS that the panic of 1874, which should only have had temporary duration, has settled down into 8 season of bus mess prostration, which will con tinue until the policy of the gov
 ernment has changed, the contin- ued tampering with the currency checked, and the active men of the country can have faith to re- sume operations without fear of being oyertaken by ruin through government interference. If re- sumption is reached in 1879, a steady contraction and deprecia
 tion in values must continue; and what sane man will invest his means in business under such cir cumstances? Let us reach specie payment as speedily as possible, but let the laws of business and circumstance under which we are placed govern the matter, and not the special interest of the banker and bondholdcr.

GOV. ALLEN ON INFLA-
 TION.
Not so Much Imitation after All

The following is an extract from the speech of Gov. Allen, recently made in Ohio. There IS no doubt but that he will be elected this fall; and we can see no dan ger to the successs of the Democ- racy in the presidential contest next year that his election would bring; although some papers which pretend to be farseeing, contend that hls election, on the Ohio platform, would mean defeat to the national democracy next year.
 Here is the extract from the speech:
 We hear it said by all the news papers in that interest and the most of them in this state are con ducted by postmasters; we hear it said that the democratic party at Columbus, at it's State conven- tion hoisted the flag of "rag mon- ey." Did they? What is rag money? Who made it? What ever the currency is in quality and volume, it is republican work not ours. Not one dollar of paper money in the United States was manufactured by Democrats. Democrats are opposed to repudiation. Credit has q politi- cal virgin quality. It will not do to cali it's purity in question. When it is once blighted it is gone, forever. x To call the greenback a worthless and irredeemable currency is to i'm pugn the honor and credit of the United States. Upon the face of each note is printed, "The United States will pay the bearer-- dollars" It does not say when it will pay it, as it does in it's inter est bearing bonds, but it never the less solemnly promises to pay the amount. The matter of the payment of either of the series of the interest bearing bonds rests entirely upon the honor of the government. There is no power under heaven to compel the pay ment of any of our bonds if the government declines to do SO. Therefore what right have the republicans to say that the govern ment will pay one class of it's honestly c ,ntracted indebtedness and refuse to pay another? The obligations of this government will all be paid. The people will not allow repudiation in any shape. Their moral sense revolts at the idea. We have always been an anti irrational bank party. In Jackson's time we op- posed a single national bank be- cause it was detrimental to the interests of the American people. Now that we have two thousand national banks draining the life blood of the people, why should we not raise our voices against them? The old national

ABANDON THE CREDIT
 SYSTEM.

We know of no piece of advice with which to fill this space which will, if needed and followed, bene fit our readers and our country more than the above. If we are not badly mistaken there has been fewer debts contracted this year than is commonly done. We have been blessed with q good crop year for wheat, oats, grass, corn and fruit; the prospect is good for cotton, and most everybody can pay out this fall. Do so, and make a resolve to go in debt no more, unless some unforeseen ca lamity should befall you. Now is your chance to do this; you can do It just as well as not, and if you will in five years you will be worth more than you will in if teen if you keep on going in debt. We know of some men, who at the surrender had nothing; now they own nice little farms worth from $500 to $2OO0-all made by their own cxer.ion. We know of others who started in the same way and who are yet in the same coRdition-got nothing, live hard, and are in debt. The first belong to class who did not go in debt; they WOULD NOT go in debt. They worked hard and lived any way to keep free from debt; now they have got plenty and can buy and pay for anything they want. The others belong to class who, although they worked, they al ways got in somebody's debt and spent the proceeds of their labor before they got it. THEY will al ways keep poor as long as they live thus.
 Begln the next year by paying up what you owe, and making a resalyc to live within your means.

Goodbye Logan!

If the Illinois Lieutenant-Go ernor knows what he is talking about, JoHN A. LOGAN is serving his last term in the Senate.-- Springfield Republican.
 This is by no meaDs improba ble. The counterfeit coin which does the office of circulation, at length meets detection and is nail ed to the counter. We do not know any worse compound of bo- gus than the versatile Senator of Illinois, nor one whose career has more strikingly illustrated the ease with which a man can pass through all shades of opinion. Early and earnest in advocacy of the lowest grade of the Locofoco- ism of Egyptian Illinois, he was known and published as Dirty work Logan, and no epithet was ever more justly earned; and when he left the party and helped to demoralize Rcpuhlicanism, the Democracy had in his withdrawal something of dignity from the purgation.-N.

TILL INDIAN QUESTION.
"A DishOnOr to our Govern
 ment and Our Civilization

The Indian question, on account of the immense fraud charged against the Indian ring, and tue miserable management used in our Indian system is attracting q large share of public attention. Strong denunciations go up against the administration of President Grant on account of his support of the present Indian Ring.
 The New York Herald has sent special correspondent into the Northwest and employed inter- preters at its own expense, in or der to get at the true facts in this matter. The Herald says that the results of the investigation prove that "the whole Indian system of the Northwest is as corrupt as was Tammany Hall un- der the old ring. It is even more disgraceful in it's corruption. The Tammany ring grew rich by rob- ping the city treasury. The In dian ring grows rich not merely by robbing the national treasury but by plundering poor helpless Indians"
 The Herald proceeds to review the system and show up the vi ciousness of the system as con ducted with Orville l.. Grant, the Presidents brother, acting a prominent part and amassing large gains; and with full in sight into the workings of the system the Herald says that the whole Indian system has become "a dishonor to our government and our civilization"
 The Herald goes on to say "the only reform that we can have is the removal of MT. Delano and Mir. Smith and the withdrawal of Mr. Grant from a position which, however advantageous to himself, is a scandal to good government and . dishonor to his illustrious brother" And "The country will say and not without cause, that any failure on the part of the President to summarily stamp out these frauds will show that he cares more for the pecuniary ad- vantage of his brother than the honor of the nation."
 And the administration which is sustaining this rotten system, whose fraud and corruption sur passes all Tammany, is that which the country is asked to accept for a third term. But the country is little likely to do it.

National Democratic COnven-
 tiOn.

St. Louis is putting in her claims for the next National Dem ocratio Convention to be held in that city. At meeting of the Democratic State Executive Con- mittee held in St. Louis on the 18th inst, the following resolu- tions were adopted:
 Resolved, That in our opinion the choice of St. Louis as the place for holding the next Nation al Democratic Convention, would be an act of justice to the Demo crats of the West.
 Resolved, That in the magnifi- cent new Merchants Exchange, which can comfortably seat 5000 persons, we have a hall amply suf- ficient for the convenience of the members and that of the specta- tors.
 Resolved, That we urge upon the member of the National Com mittee from this State that he use his best endeavors to secure the selection of St. Louis, and we au- thorize him, in behalf of the Dem ocrats of our State, to give the assurance that we will pay the ex- penses of the convention, and in behalf of our citizens, that the members will be accommodated with as much comfort and as little expense as anywhere else, while our citizens would vie with each other in the tender of a generous hospitality.
 Signed by all the members of the executive committee.

 Washington Telegraph: Corn crops on our black land farms do not need rain. On the uplands we suffer. The gardens are all burning up. "Give us a rest"
 State: Tuesday there fell one of the hardest rains that we have had this season. It means more corn and better cotton in this vicinity. God be thanked for all His blessings.
 Camden Beacon: The crop prospects throughout this section, are still tlattering, though we hear complaints, from some quarters, to the effect that the corn will be cut short without more rain in a few days. Cotton, so far, is doing as well as could be asked.
