REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKETS.
MONDAY EVENING, Jan. III.


There was a somewhat better feeling In the
corn market today than at the close of the week
although sales were made without quotable ad-
vance upon the prices then ruling. Holders are
Arm and confident of realizing better prices be-
fore the close of the present week. There was
no wheat disposed OF and but little doing in
oats. Bran is in good demand and at improving
prices The provision market was quiet. The
receipts of hogs continue large and there is an
unsettled feeling in the market for product. In
tba GROCERY market coffees are reported by pri-
xafe dispatches this morning as easier In New
Work and offerings were made at 10. less than
last week. An improved demand would proba-
nv h. followed by q recovery. Refined sugars

ing grand larceny, under the act , making the stealing of two dol lars and upwards felony. He was held under guard until Sun day night, awaiting the arrival of q witness. Sunday night he gave the guard the slip and absconded with a horse, bridle and sad dle stolen from Mir. A. Shaver's stable, and with the watch of his guard. The guard must evident ly have been asleep.
 Now we would like to ask what kind of a way this is to execute the law? Still it is just about the way nine cases out of every ten go. We venture the asser- tion that it is all chargeable to neglect of duty in our officials. If they are not responsible who is? And so long as crime is allowed to go unpunished in this manner, we would like to know what there is to deter evil disposed persons from committing depredations? What terror has the law for such characters, when they know there are nine chances for them to es- cape where there is one for them to get the just punishment which their crime merits and the law provides?
 We say let the laws be enforc- ed, and let neglect of duty in off cials be looked after and punished. This thing of treating criminals with great courtesy, furnishing them guard to parade the city with them at their pleasure, and gratifying every wish for fear of hurting their feelings, is getting a little too thin. We must hold our officials to stricter account ability for the performance of their duty; and if their tender baarfa1pocc iS co nrroo% oa +o ho hurt by enforcing the law against criminals, we had better get some who are not so fastidious in feel ings. There has been guard ser vice enough paid in Pope county, in the last year or two to build a good jail, and almost every pris- oner arrested has escaped. Fur ther comment is unnecessary.

 ONE FLAG--ONE COUNTRY LONE PEOPLE.

The smoke from the great bat tie of 1S61--1S65 is beginning to clear away, The skies are clear ing off and we are beginning to see where we stand. Common sense and reason are D beginning to assert their sway over the minds and feelings of men. Old ami mosities and prejudices are flick ering il the socket, and we watch with eager desire to see them for ever die out. The bloody chasm is growing narrower and narrow CT, and soon we may hope to see again rejoicing over One Flag, One Country and One People. The signs of the times are good. The whole country is aroused and eager to participate in the Centen- nial celebration. North, South, East and West are jealous to make this anniversary of our eoun- try's birthday grand and a glorious success. Thissis good sign. In Chicago recently, at Q meeting of prominent gentlemen in charge of the arrangements for the forthcoming soldiers reunion, the proposition was made by Gen. Styles to extend Invitations to all surviving soldiers of. the late war throughout the Country east, west, north, and south The proposition was favored by other gentlemen present, and was adopted by unanimous vote. Another good sign.
 Again, a short time since, Gov. Porter, an ex-confederate officer, by invitation of General Penni- packer, federal commander at the post of Nashville, reviewed the troops at the barracks in the presence of an assembly of five thousand persons, and amidst good feeling and great deal of enthusiasm.
 Events like these forbode good and glory to the country. Thank God for the signs of the times. Let the centennial see the good work of reconciliation and re-un- ion fully and firmly consumated, and the whole country united in the bonds of patriotism and fra ternal good feeling.

THE RUssELvIILE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, APRIL p, 1875

full loss of life, happened in Se- vier county, near Nebo church. A farmer, who had sold out with the intention of moving to Texas, was visiting a neighbor, and in the night feeling presentiment of evil, in company with a Texan returned to his house, where he observed light burning. Peer ing in the window the two men saw four robbers counting the money which they had stolen. Both men being armed with double barreied shot guns, they fired upon and killed all the robbers, and then entering the house, the farmer was crazed by the sight of his murdered wife and two children, who had been slaughtered by the robbers.- Gazette.

TIE County Grange, of Drew county, is earnestly considering the immigration question. A draught of a circular of informa- tion regarding the climate, soil, re- sources, &c., of South. eastern Ar kansas, has been prepared and ar engagements are being made to in sert a short notice in the leading newspapers of the eastern states to the effect that such circular can be obtained on application. Sev' eral other counties have organized Immigration Societies and arc preparing to put in their claim and make known the induce ments they offer to immigrants in order that they may secure 2 portion of the new corners who will come docking to our state this fall.
 Would it not be well for Pop( county to wake up on this ques tion? We have urged our lead ing men to consider this matter but have heard of no movement yet. We warn our people again and if they wish to be behind al other parts of tue state, their in activity will no doubt secure thei desire.

 A SUBSCRIBER.
 Twill some one of our sub scribers in Southern Missouri or Arkansas answer the above?-Ed. Farmer.
 We have no hesitancy in assert ing that we have the climate and although we cannot say that we know exactly what would be termed GOOD SHEEP RANGE, we think that sheep raising could be made easy and profitable in this part of the state. So far as our observation extends, we have never seen a country where sheep did any better than they do here, considering the attention paid to them. We have no doubt but that a thorough test would prove that our climate and country is well adapted to the sheep business. Right here in Pope county would be a splendid field to engage in the business. We have the eli mate, the water and the range. Our hill-sides, valleys, and prai- ries, would afford a splendid di- versity of range, and there is no better watered country anywhere.
 Perhaps some of the readers of the DEMOCRAT will take interest enough, in this, to give us their opinion of Pope county as a field for sheen raising.

Col. Fred Grant was at the Grand Pacific, in Chicago, q short time since, and the Chicago Times sent ''its man" down to interview the gentleman. The result was, the reporter got a sound cursing from Fred,-a cursing, which for profanity and ungentlemanly ia miliarity would have done credit to q fourth rate hackman.
 The reporter said that he has had during his journalistic expe- rience, occasion to meet the James boys, Quantrell and other leading cut -throats and bummers of the West, but he was never received before with so much familiarity and franknoss.

PAUL BoYNToN, the inventor of new lifesaving apparatus, has recently tested the merits of his invention, by swimming across the British channel, to within five miles of the coast of France, a distance of fifty miles, in about fifteen hours. He made the test during stormy and boisterous sea, and was taken from the wa ter, with clothing perfectly dry and without any considerable ex- haustion. He carried with him, an axe and bowie-knife, one days rations, cigars, matches, rockets and the American flag. Although he did not accomplish the feat of making landing on the shores of France, owing to the rough sea, the darkness of the night and the refusal of his pilot boat to allow him to remain longer in the Wa ter, his test of the swimming dress, proves it a success and a great acquisition as means of diminishing the perils of ocean sailing.
 The royal yacht of Queen Vie toria will be supplied with these new life preservers.

FUNDING COUNTY DEBTS.

Elsewhere we publish an act providing for the funding Of tie indebtedness of the seye..al coun- ties in this state. Thj:, act should be read and carefully considered by the voters ofour county, for we are informed chat the county court of Cur county is going to take th.e sense of the voters of the cou2ity on the question of funding; a2nd we would advise the tax pay 1 CTS to post themselves thoroughly, in order that they may be able to vote intelligently on the matter There are some features in the act which we do not like. Among which we name the first section, or that part thereof which author izes a mere majority of the county court to order the funding of the debt at any rate less than fifty cents on the dollar. This we don't like. If the debt is to be funded at all, let no part of it be repudi- ated. We think if the sense of the people is to be taken on the proposition to fund, it should be on a par basis-that is, one dollar in bonds for each dollar of just In- debtedness.
 The bonds will be issued in not less than twenty y-fiye dollar pieces, and become due and payable in not less than ten nor more than twenty years, and will draw seven per cent. interest. No indebted ness contracted after the 30th day of October 1874 can be bonded. Warrants for bonding must be presented to the county court within twelve months from date of the order for funding. The bonds, if issued, are to be made payable, principal and interest, either at the treasury of the coun- 
 ty issuing the same, or at such place in New York City as tne county court shall determine upon. In regard to this part we think the court should not have such power, but the bonds and interest should be made payable at the county treasury. The selling at auction, of the sinking fund, and taking in payment the bonds, is a feature that we are not prepared to endorse, but there may not be any serious objection to the same. We commend the act to a careful perusal of our readers.

 THE frequent occurrence of riotous and disgraceful proceed ings in our state legislatures has of late years become so common, that the subject demands serious consideration. The .manner in which our legislative business is now conducted has become so mo- toriously shameful and disorder ly that it is a disgrace and q re- proach to our civilization. We find little of the decorum and dig nifty in our legislative bodies now days which should characterize the actions of the representatives of refined and enlightened con stituency.
 Truth compels us to make these assertions and we are sorry to say that a rigid adherence to truth would compel us to say that the evil is not confined to our state legislatures, but even extends to an equal degree into our gravest and most important deliberative bodies-the two houses of Con gross of the United States.
 Only a few days ago the Mis- souri legislature broke up in a most disgraceful riot, where there was imminent danger of bloodshed and taking of life. If things continue to move along in the present direction it will not be long until the presence of a plat oon of efficient police for the pro lection of life will be a necessary and indispensable part of the ma chinery of our legislative bodies. Even now we dread the approach of the final days of these dignified and honorable assemblages, and cringe with horror at the antic- | ipation of bloodshed and violence into which the dissatisfaction and pent up rage of turbulent mem bers, is calculated to culminatt about the time of adjournment for it is at this period that oul legislative halls have of late year; borne more resemblance to a dis graceful club room row, than 1, dignified body of respectable rep resentatives of an enlightened people.
 This shameful condition o things cries aloud for correction and we should demand reform il this respect. We should not al low our representatives to dis grace us by an abusive and heath enish use of the privilege of th' legislative floor.
