To find the value of u grcenback,wlth
gold at the premium, divide loo by the
gold quotation, thus: 100000 divided
10y liz equals S5.47. By the above, 1t
will be seen that when gold is quoted at

s5.47 cents on the dollar. By rcmem-
boring this simple process, the value OF

TUESDAY. JULY 8, 1875.
That Stationery.

The Van Buren Press and some other state
papers are commenting on the letter pubiished
ia the Sunday Republican two weeks ago,
which charged that one OF the clerks OF the
last house of representatives Was selling sta
tionrry supposed to he gobbled" " from the
state. The papers want the proof they say.
and the name of the clerk. Very well as the
letter is dated in Benton county, that gives
the name To all 10 know where the clerk comes
from. As to proof we have the original letter
on file in the office and II is ut the service OF
any one authorized to demand proof, with the
name of the writer signed to It. Now let
these papers shut up or get the right man to
call for the proofs.--L. Il, Republican.
The Little Rock Republican short time
since published letter, purporting to be
written from Benton c"uuty. charging one Of
the Clerks o! the last Democratic Legislature
with stealing stationery. Chief Clerk Gauld-
ing denies emphatically the soft mpeach-
ment on his part. and the Pres, with other
papers in the State, demanded OF the editor of
the Republican the name of the person who
done the stealing. He crawlshes out, as
above. leaving us to infer because the letter
Is dated at Benton county. that the culprit Is
from that locality. II the Republican has the
proof as it claims. what harm Is there In
making it known and the party implicated.
Price should have the manlincss to either
speak out and give the name with the proof
or acknowledge he has been sold by a over
jealous confederate and slandcred an honest
man.

Van Buren, Amateurs at Fort Smith.

On in, n,itation Of the Library Association Of
Fort Smith. the Amateur Club of Van Burer
repeated at Fort Smith the play, Ten Nights
in Bar Room" that they had two month,
before played to our citizens. Wears pleased
to know that our young friends were so well
received and gave 50 universal satisfaction
our only fer WAS, that through indifference
they would not perfect themselves in the
parts.
The editor of the Inpedendent gives his iui-
preston ofthe performance as follows:
THE DRAMA.
The dramatic performance NJ Adelaide
Hall on Saturday night by the amateur club
of Van Buren,, far exceeded the antcipations
OF even the most sanguine friends OF the
troupe. To say it succeeded were but mild
way of stating it. IL was the best perform
ance We have ever seen rendered by an anna
teur club. and some of tie actors eXcelled
nine -tenths Of the professionals we have ever
seen.
We are aware of the scnsitivencss of mere
amateurs about having their names men
toned even in praise, but while We forbear
to mention the names of the young ladies
who did their parts SO well, We will not re-
train from suggesting to Mes.rs Lockhart
and ijillyer. that we have heard 1t repeatedly
remarked since Saturday that they mi ssed
their calling in not being actors" Hon.
Gran. Wilcox, too, walks the stage as if he
knows how it Is himself p"
The moral of the play is excellent, and i'm
pressed with so much force and pathos as it
WAS by these young amateurs, it cannot but
be productive Of much and lasting good. For
this reason If for no other, we were gratified,
as we are sure the troupe was, with the i'm
mense audience which greeted the perform
ancr with so respectful attention. We do not
recollcct ever to have seen Adelaide Hall so
completely packed, Every foot of available
space was occupied by the audience, many of
whom were compelled to stand, but who
stood throughout the long play with undi-
mini,hed interest and with An attention as re-
spectful as 1t was earnest
Alter the performance was ended and
while the carriages were getting ready TO
convey the troupe back to Van Buren, the
performers were courtcously invited by the
President Of the Library Association down to
Guler's saloon, where refreshments were dis
penscd which neither heats nor intoxicates,
but is refreshngly cooling these warm days
This Interchange of coErlcsirs between our
neighboring towns is as it should be. We
hope it will continue.

Rev. John Harrell.

The Rev. James c, Daily, of the Methodist

for our old friend Rev. Mr.. Ilarrell:

The following which we find in the Mari
anna Index, is worth considering;
The question has been propound,d, how Is
the county to get supple, 10 run the clerk
office. now that quietns has been put upon
the issuance Of three for one" A reference
TO Gantts Digest, section 1858, we think will
settle the matter. 1t reads as follows: " IN
addition tn the revenue arising from ferry
tavern and grocery licenses. which is hereby
appropriated for county purposes there shall
be levied and collected county tax on the
following objects tax of three dollars on
each criminal conviction; a tax Of fifty cents
on each original writ and execution Issued
out Of any of the courts OF the state and the
sum Of fifty cents on the certificate of writing
recorded In the recorders Office The tax on
the latter will amount to not less than four
hundred dollars a year. 1t Is collected In
greenbacks. Other counties use this revenue
for furnishing the necessary stationery and
books needed in the clerks office. We see no
reason why Lee county can't do the same.
We believe none Of this revenue has ever
been turned into the county treasury. 1t 10
ample for the purpose mentioned and the
county court should see it collected and pro-
perly applied.
