LETTER FROM ARKA NSAS.
LITTLE RED RIVER. Ark,
December 10, 1876

| December IL, 1876.
Ts the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
What do you think of Arkansas9 Full
of Bowie knives and roofless cabins, as
described by the Arkansaw traveller, you
hammered men as ever cut a throat or
scuttled ship.
| I've been roaming over the table lands
| of White, Van Buren, and Independence
counties for two months, now, and find
nearly all of the people have at one time
or another come from Tennessee-East
Tennessee principally-and are as much
like East Tennessaans to-day, in hospit-
atty and unsophicated manners, as two
peas. They are genuine pioneers, not
driven out by the moneyed' aristoeracy
or the bloated bondholders, and here
they remain like the fiery Scot on the
Grampian bills, nobody pushing them
off, but roaming fancy free. Three miles
apart is the usual distance for neighbors
to live and have, elbow room for hunt
ing and grazing. They have abundance
of these conveniencies. One may often
ride ten miles on the comparatively lev
ell table lands without seeing habita-
ton, amidst pine forests and the everlast-
ing scrub oak. Ii don't matter what road
you take at a fork, all lead to the same
place you wish TO reach.
1t is strange and hard to account why
this genial cline is not in state OF high
err cultivation. The cotton weed and
staple appears to me as fine as that of
the cotton belt in Alabama. Tobacco
appears to grow as well here as in Ken
lucky or Tennessee. The ground APP
pears to produce wheaS, oats and pota-
toes we'll, and the fine and luscious wild
cranes 10 be found everywhere in the
woods. is proof that the soil Is as well
adapted to the vine culture as the most
favored lands in Europe.
These people have a holy horror OF the
river bottoms as being subject to chills,
and vast areas on the Little Red river
and its tributary branches, are still COW
cred with dense timber and cane breaks,
whore the wild cat, panther and bear
have their lairs with as much safety as
in the iungles of India still Ethe Few
people settled in the bottoms look as
healthy as those WHO i've On btAc iiaeeouA
and frequently more so-due TO more
energy and thrift.

THE COUNTING OF THE VOTE.

THE COUNTING OF THE VOTE.
The counting Of the vote for Pres
ident and Vice-President will be
done by Congress the 18th ofFebru-
, airy, and, according to usage, the
Senate will proceed to the hall of
the House of Representatives, and
the President OF the Senate will take
his seat as the presiding officer of
the joint convention of the Two hous-
es. The Constitution provides ''the
President of the Senate shall, in the
presence of the Senate and House of
Representatives, open all the certifi-
Gates and the vote shall then be
counted" The House appoints two
tellers and the Senate one teller, to
examine the certificates which had
been opened by the President of the
Senate. He will then announce that
the certificate of the election OF the
electors casting these votes is signed
by the Governor Of the State and
countersigned by tue Secretary Of
State. This announcement OF the
character Of the certificates is made
subject to the demand of any Sena-
tor or Representative that the docu-
ment shall be read in full. Thus one
by one the electoral returns from the
States are brought before the atten-
tion Of the House. The line of pre-
cedents in favor Of the right Of Con-
gress to take Jurisdiction over the
electoral returns is unbroken from
the foundation of the government.
The mode OF examining these votes
was prescribed in 1893 by a joint
committee, whose report provided
for the appointment Of the tellers.
The announcement of the vote is
made by the presiding officer Of the
joint convention from the list Of the
vote made up by the tellers under
the direction of the joint convention.
This has been the uniform practice
from 1893 to the present day. In
1917, 1921, 1857, 1865, 1869 and 1873
have objections been raised to count
ing the vote of one or more States,
and never has the presiding officer
counted the vote of q State except
as Congress permitted. In 1873
the electoral. votes from Georgia,
Louisiana and Arkansas were re-
jected. The vote Of the latter States
was objected to by the Senate "be-
cause the official returns were not
certified according to law" in that
the seal of State was not append
ed to the Governors certificate. Az
ter it was all over, the Senate found
that it had made an egregious blum.
der, for the constitution OF Arkan.
sas did not require State seal and
there was none. So next February
when the electoral certificate from
Oregon is opened, it will appear that
the electors whose appointment is
duly certified to by the Governor OF
the State have cast two votes for
Hayes and one for Tilden. SO that
upon the face Of the returns Tilden
will have a majority. Objections
will he raised to the votes OF at least
three Southern States. and when the
Congress shall have passed upon
them Mr.. Tilden's majority. as 1t
will be finally declared, win be
large one. and that he will be inau-
gurated there can be no doubt, not
withstanding the infamous conspir-
acy to defeat the will Of the people,
and through the grossest fraud ever
attempted to continue the corrupt

Internal Revenue Notes.

Although Internal Revenue bureau has been
In existence about Is years the ignorance of
many OF the most important laws and regu-
latlons is surprising For the benefit of
those interested VIC call attention to a few
points,
The collections in this Territory are mainly
special taxes on wholesale and retail dealers
IN liquors, beer, tobacco and cigars; the tax
OF onehalf per cent. per annum on the total
capital and deposits of banks, and the tax of
one dollar per barrel on fermented liquors.
There arc fourteen breweries, and no distil-
leries in operation. The total collections
are about $25 900 per annum.
1t is the duty of every person before conn
mencing any business subject to tax, to no>
tify the Collector, and pay the special tax.
Neglect to do this subjects the offender to
fines and penalties more or less severe. which
the Collector is compelled to enforce alike
upon everyone.
All barrels of liquors, boxes of cigars or
tobacco and bottles of proprietary medicines,
hair oils, perfumes, ETC., must he sufficiently
stamped, and all stamps on packages of
liquor, tobacco and cigars must be de-
stroyed as soon as the packages are cmptied,
under penalty of heavy fine for failure to
do so.
Special tax, beer, cigar and internal reve>
nue. adhesive stamps sent by mail or express
are solely at the risk of the parties ordering
them. The Government nor the Collector is
under any liability should they be lost
Postage stamps for return postage should
always accompany all orders.
Every change of partnership by the addi>
ton or retiring of q number of the firm REM
1ers the payment of the special tax. com>
monty known as license again necessary.
A rigid compliance with the provisions
here stated would save taxpayers great deal
of trouble, and the payment of fines and
penalties, so obnoxious to the average Amer
lean citizen.

MuT1LAr1SG FRUIT TREEs.-Of all the
blunders that the common farmer
makes with trees, none is SO common
or 60 hurtful as the practice of cutting
off lower limbs. All over the country
nothing is more common than to see
big limbs cut off near the body of the
tree. This is sin against nature. The
very limbs necessary to protect the tree
from wind and sun are cut away. But
the greatest injury is the rotting--too
big to heal over, and kept moist by the
growing tree, the limb must rot, and
the rotting goes to the heart and hurts
the whole tree.-Gmtlener' Monthly.
