join our volce to yours in an ap- peal to the brethren of the press of Arkansas to commence at once in the earnest greatly needed work which lies stretched out be- fore us. For long months the peaceful interests of our State have been abandoned and nothing but politics has been mootcd. The newspapers of Arkansas now have nobler field opened up be- fore them. The occupancy of this field and the scrupulous discharge of duty by each and every Editor will bring luster to the name of our State, and secure the quietude of a long impoverished and op- pressed people. The material in- terests of our State should now occupy much of the attention of the newspapers of the State. They should take the lead and point out the new channel into which the thoughts, efforts and energies of our people should be turned.
 We are ready for the work, and we hope every other paper in Ar kansas will join in the grand work.

FEAR NOT---ALL Is WELL.

Notwithstanding the glorious victory which has been acheived by the democracy in the election of Tilden and Hendricks there seems to be vague fear and un- easiness in the minds of the r ore timidly inclined that we will be defrauded, or perhaps torcibly robbed of the victory we have won.
 We have no apprehension, and certainly not the slightest fear of anything of thls kind. The Amer ican people in their might and majesty have spoken in thunder tones. They have called Grant ism to judgement and they have pronounced it spurious. They haze r corded their allegiance to to a new regime and they will not have their arbitrament question. ed or set aside. The force of pub lie opinion will settle this matter, anl by the time Congress shall meet there will not be a fair mind- ed man of any note or character, who will question MT. Tllden's right to quiet, peaceable inau- ration. The fraud, force and vil- lainy which the Administration party has used so unstintedlv to reta.n power in some of the re- constructed States will not win in this case. The Grant party now has no oppressed southern States to pin to the earth with bayonets.
 The mInions who have played the tyrant in Southern States will not dare to face the millions who have said that radicalism must yield up the scepter. A sovereign people who have been able to elect Mir. Tilden will see that he is inauguratcd; and his inaugu. ration will be quiet and orderly. All fears to the contrary may be dismissed, for All is Well, the sky is clear and the Old Ship of
 State will ride triumphantly into Democratic hands.
The Russellville Democrat., 1876-11-16
AN OUTRAGE.

We mean to characterize 1t by its right name, and therefore we say it IS ap outrage upon the tax payers of Pope county that the H. legal Sixty five per cent. tax col. lected by Fowler in 1872 on real estate, is not refunded. This matter should have been settled long ago, and those who pald the ovcrplus illegally demanded should have had their money. They are poor and they need it. It will soon be taxpaying time again and the surplus paid by many, will pay their next years tax il they can get 1t back. We have referred to this matter and urged it upon the notice of the proper authorities once or twice
 before, and as the time for anoth
 CT Circuit Court has rolled around and is at hand we again bring the matter up, and in the name oI several hundred wronged taxpay
 CTS we demand that the matter re
 
 ceive attention. If there is any cf tn, funds illegally collected, of

democratic victory in the Third District, The Democracy is glad and shouts for joy over a solid Democratic delegation to Con gross. But what ails the Gazette ? She is as sullen as an OK. No word of con gratulatlon or joy does she utter. Has her affections been estranged from the people who have loved her in days that are passed? Has she joined herself unto false idols, and forgotten her first love? Has she been enticed from the paths of rectitude and virtue into the forbidden ways of crookedness and evil:
 The people look back in their rejoicing and wait for their old friend to join them. Will she prove false or true?

for the close of our Centennial year. Glorious day for the Amer ican Republic. Noble tribute to the sense of Justice implanted in the American people! Splendid attestation of the Sovereignty of the People.
 Such a victory is unprecedented in the history of our country. Such a revolution in public senti- ment is not afforded in all the Hundred years of our existence.
 Such lesson.
 Four years ago we carried but three States. Now we sweep twenty, and have pupular major ity of near half a million.
 A solid South, The people may thank God for it. New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connec- ticut. All Honor to these Sis ters of the North. What say you Chandler to this array? Do you see the hand writing on the wall?

hand, why is it not refunded to those to whom it belongs? Why is not Mir. Fowler's bondsmen re quired to account for the illegal demands of their principal? We are not sufficiently versed in the intricacies of law to know exactly the steps which should be taken ill order to have those who were victimized, reimbursed, but we feel certain that if there is not a screw loose somewhere, this out rage will not be allowed to remain unredressed any longer. It would be a great relief to many burden ed taxpayers if this matter could be brought to a final determina- tion at the present serm of Circuit Court.

Samuel J. Tilden will De Our
 Next President.
The Infamous Tactics Attemp- ted by the Radicals
 will Fail.

At the date of our last issue our dispatches indicated that the Tilden & Hendricks ticket had 1S4 electoral votes beyond all doubt or dispute. The states which gave this vote are:
 Alabama (l0); Arkansas (6); Connecticut (6); Delaware (9); Georgia (lD; Indiana (l5); Ken tucky (15); Maryland (S); Mis- sisslppi (s); Missouri (15); New Jersey (9); New York (35); Nor.h Carolina (l0) Tennessee (12); Texas tS); Virginia (ll); West Virginia (5). Total ls4. Within twelve hours after the election this is the way all parties acknowledged the vote to stand for Tilden and Hendricks. Moth ing has been made known since to change this result. The States which were then known to have gone for Hayes were as follows: olilornia (6); Colorado (3); Hi nois (2l) Iowa (ll); Kansas (5); Maine CD; Massachusetts (l3); Michigan CID; Vermont (5); Minnesota (5); Ohio (22); Ore gon (3); Pennsylvania (29); Rhode Island (3) ;Wisconsin { l0). Total l66. This tally still stands firm at the present writing, and the vote of 8 out of the 3S states is included and accounted for in the above totals. Three states, at the date of our last paper were considered doubtful. South Car olina with her ' votes, Flori da with 1, and Louisiana with B. Our latest advices up to this date are that all of these states have gone for Tilden by decided ma iorities. This adds l9 more votes to the IS4 previously conceded to the Democracy, making a grand total of 203-lS more that neces sary to elect, and majority ot 37 over Hayes. This is precisely the way it stands now and there can be no sort of doubt that Saml j. Tilden will be the next Presi oftbese United States of America

- THE THIRD DISTRICT.

With the most exquisite joy we congratulate the Democracy of the Third District upon the most wonderful and glorious victory which has been acheived in the election of Hen. Jordan k. Cray ems; and through the democracy of that district. we congratulate the democracy of the whole State upon our solid Democratic delega tion which we will send up to the Forty fifth Congress. We con graduate that portion of the Press of Arkansas which has so manfully and nobly stood fol the right, and braved the sneers and taunts and threats of tricksters and ring tools. All honor and praise to them. We congratulate the friends of honesty, purity and right in politics, everywhere. This victory is the most signal rebuke to ring domination that we have ever seen. It IS most convincing attestation of the truth of the old maxim, "Hoacsty is the best policy" It is verification of an immortal principle that right is mighty and vii. prevail" It should be a lesson never. NEVER. NEVER to be forgotten by those who have endeavored to mislead the people into the paths of crook : edness. It must be a bitter, hu- initiating lesson. May it's true significance appear to them in all its force and grandeur, aud may they be deterred hereafter by the remembrance of this lesson from ever following after false gods. May they be constrained to for sake their "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain," and cleave unto that which is right and pure and just.
 The election ofCol. !Cravens is the most wonderful and glorious victory which has ever been achieved in the politics of Arkan- sas. Not only the full strength of q well organized and interruptions opposition party, but, also the complete force of a powerful ring faction composed fwily and here to fore honcred memers of our own party has been met. The former has been vanquished; the latter has been rebuked and hum bled. "REGNANr PoraLL" Let all designing tricksters remember forever that "Regnant Populi' is truth and reality in the Third District.
 Again we congratulate the peo- pie of Arkansas. upon the signal triumph of Right.
