The Russellville Democrat., 1877-05-17
QUEER GRATITUDE.

The New York Sun continues to pour hot shot into Mir. Hayes for his acceptance of the Fraudulent verdict of the Returning Board. It has moi checked in it's warfare even long enough to give him credit for cheat ing Packard and Chamberlain out of their seats by recognizing Nichols and Hampton with the same vote that Tilden received. It does, indeed, seem anomalous that the same minor ity that Hayes holds his commission by, should also elect Hampton and Nichols. While we at the South see these things through the same glasses yet the issue is too vital to us to be ungrateful, even though we know fraud tainted the matter. That Joe Bradley will be consigned to a hereafter of eternal infamy, we do not doubt. and that Hayes is ex- ercising rights that belong to Tilden we too know, and while our grati- tude for the share that fell to Us, makes us silent, we do not censure the Sun for reiterating the fraud.-- Texarkana Democrat.
 This is . queer kind of gratitude which we hear some papers talking about It is just like feeling grate- ful to the highway robber, who, after robbing you of your greatest valua bles, pretends to champion your cause by telling you you can keep some article of smaller value. As for ourselves we owe MT. Hayes no gratitude on account of Gov. Nich- oils succeeding in Louisiana. We rejoice that the people of Louisiana are out from under the radical yoke, but it is nonsense to say that Hayes deserves gratitude for it.
 Without proving himself villain of the deepest dye Mir. Hayes could not have done otherwise than to have recognized Governor Nichols government. So because he did not prove this deep-dyed villain we must feel grateful to him, must we? It. looks more like tom-foolery or toady ism.

to Russellyille as will induce them to make this their shipping point, not only will the road be greatly benefited thereby, but the city of Little Rock will be able to sell some thing like quarter of million of dollars worth of goods to the mer- chants of those counties. It is so manifcstly to the interests of Arkan- sas to keep this important trade at home and to have the transporta- tion done by Arkansas roads that we hope the Ft. Smitn road will make some overtures to those people, so IS to induce them to turn their trade and shipping this way.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-05-17

cumbent upon the people os. the United States IS to so deal with the first Fraudulent President known in our history that there shall never be another of the kind.
 In the performance of this duty ordinary social considerations may sometimes have to give way; but no such consideration is of any impor tance compared with the preserva tion of republican institutions and democratic self government.
 An honest king is better than q Fraudulent President. The Ameri- can people fought seven years to get rid of their honest king. Get ting rid of their Fraudulent Presi- dent will neither be so long nor so difficult a process.

A HINT TO THE FIT. SMITH
 ROAD,

The following item caught our eye in the last number of the Harri son Times:
 Last week our merchants sent a petition to D. Wishart, general freight and ticket agent of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway O., desiring that he furnish them a schedule of the lowest special rates on freight to Springfield. They re- celvcd an answer Thursday night, stating that he was unable to offer any special rates to the merchants fl Arkansas other than those already in operation to Verona, Pierce City and Neosho-points west of Spring field. Of course the merchants and traders of this county cannot be ben efirted by any special rates that may be in existence with those shipping points.
 Why not have general mass meeting of the merchants and lead ing business men of the county, and consult as to the propriety of chang ing our place of shipping from Springfield to Clarksville or Russell vile?
 Now here is a hint to which we call the attention of the Ft. Smith road. The entire frcighting busi- ness for tho counties of Boone, New ton and Searcy counties may be secured by the Fort Smith road if the proper overtures are made to that section of country, The new business which might be secured for the Ft, Smith road from this source IS not by any means an insignificant matter. If the Ft. Smith road can give these people such special rates

STATE SCRIP.

The above pertinent remarks are from our able confrere, Capt. J. H. Battcn6eld Tit should be J. E--Ep. DEM. of the Russellyille DEMOCRAT. We will state that our new Govern or Miller, when auditor, informed us about . year and hale ago that the State Board of Finance in making up their estimate, more than two years ago, for means to run the ma chinery of the government overlook ed the important item of Assessors blanks and subsequently, held con sultation in which they agreed that state scrip should be issned for as- sessment blanks. This was all right and no one complained, although we have. never seen any public notice of such a conclusion. Since that time the legislature has convened and re- duced the price of these blanks from one dollar to fifty cents per quire and we see nothing in the acts where pay for these blanks shall be issued in state scrip. If the Board of Fi- nance have arrived at such conclu- sion why don't it publish the infor- nation, and give it to the public if such is the case, their authority for taking such step. When we pub lish proclamation from the govern or we receive pay in currency. Why not get. currency for assessment blanks at fifty cents per quire? That is the question.
 The above IS what friend Newman, of the Pine Bluff Press, says after copying our article of week before last headed "Is the State Scrip Mill Again in Operation"
 Now few more questions just here If the Legislature made no appropriations to pay the expense of printing Assessors blanks when it reduced the price to fifty cents per quire, what authority has the State Board of Finance to say that this item shall be paid in state scrip? If the State Board of Finance can hold a consultation and agree to issue state scrip for one purpose where no appropriation has been made, may it not do it in other cases? And thus may not state scrip be ground out ad libitum ct ad infinitum.

R. k. LANDS ARE TAXABLE.

The Attorney General of the State has given the following opinion on the subject of taxation of Railroad lands:
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-05-17
ONE ANSWER.

The Little Rock Star answers our question in regard to the State Scrip mill, thusly:
 Battenfeld, of the Russellville DEMOCRAT, printed some assessors blanks, made out his account for so doing, and sent it down for payment Much to his surprise, he received his pay in state scrip. Thereupon, he says that he was of the impression, as every one else is, that the ''state scrip mill had ceased gfinding--that the Board of Finance was empowered to borrow money at high rate of interest to pay the contingent eX- penses ot the state" Mir. Batten- field, in conclusion of his article, says if he and the community are in error Tn their belief that the current ex- penses of the state are being paid in cash, he wants to knew it, and also whether other expenses are being paid in state scrip. lt is not at all probable the court organ -the Ga zette-will answer the inquiry, there fore, we feel bound to furnish the information. The state officers and their employees, and members of the legislature, are paid in cash, from money borrowed by the Board of Fl- nancc, and derived from the sale of Loughborough bonds. All other per sons are paid ia state scrip. A man who prints assessors blanks is not d part of the State government, and IS therefore paid 1t state scrip. There are great many things about the present state government which, if probed to the bottom, would surprise
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-05-17
ABOUT ADVERTISERS.

There never was a man who adver
 tised his bushes lIberally who could
 justly be accused of being stingy.
 The liberal advertiser is always a
 large .souled, generous man and n
 liberal person to deal with. The
 man who advertises has claims upon
 the patronage of the public which no
 non advertiser has, or can have. He
 says in practice, that in exchange
 tor the patronage of those among
 whom he does business, he is willing
 to contribute share of his means toward sustaining the various enter prises and institutions winch tend
 to enlighten the masses and build
 up the country. The press he rec
 ognizes as public benefactor, as, all educator of the masses and as, a 1 friend to progress; he therefore pat
 ronizes it.
 But how about the non advertiser the man with soul so small and pinched up that lie cares only for his neighbors so far as their dollars go? He says just the opposite of what the liberal advertiser says.
 He says to the public that he wants their money; that he wants to grow fat and rich from their patronage; that he wants to fill his safe and his his coffers with the peoples money, but he wants to do nothing for them in return. He says plainly that the civilization of the country, the edu cation and intelligence of his GUS toners children, and the press of the country can go to the devil so far as he is concerned. All he wants is the money of his customers, and when he has filled his coffers well up with it, he cares nothing more for those whose patronage has made him rich and fed him with the fat of the land. He says the children of the land can grow up without ever seeing newspaper or print ing press, and that he don't want the people to read the papers, for fear they should find out that there are better firms and more enterpris- 1 ing business men than he Is. He | don't care cent for any body but i himself---he IS selfish, stingy and | ignorant of the proper way to do business in this advanced age of printing presses and civilization. The man who seeks the patronage of the public owes duty to the pubic. He owes it as duty to aic Tn sus taining the newspaper press through out the land, for the newspaper is indispensable to the welfare of the country. These remarks apply with equal force to the merchant, the pro fessional man, the mechanic and all others who seek public patronage. They apply not only to the adver tiser here at home but to those firms and business men in other cities who seek the trade of our merchants and people.
 Watch our columns and see who advertise, and patronize them only. Let the non advertiser severely alone.

FOkTY rLARs EAt'oi.E THE PUBLIC. DR. C. MCLANE'S
 cELEBRATED
 LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE cuRE OF Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the l edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shouldcr-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There isgenerally aconsiderable loss ofmemory accompanied witha pain fill sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough IS some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above synp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.
 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PrLLs, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are un- equaled.

LITTLE ROCK, May 9, 1877.


 Hon. John Crawford, Auditor State: DEAR SIR: Replying to yours of the 7th inst, 1 will say that l have carefully looked into the question presented in your letter in reference to the taxabilty of the Little Rock ard Fort Smith Railroad lands and find numerous decisions of the Su- preme Court of the United States hold that the right to a patent once vested is equivalent to patent grant ed. So that, if all the conditions named in the act of Congress upon which the title of the railroad com pany depend have been compiled with on the part of the. road, they are subject to taxation whether the patent is granted or not. If the, title be beneficially in the company, and no further act required on their part, that is sufficient to warrant the State to exercise her power of taxa tion. This position is sustained by Carroll ys. Stafford, Sd Howard; and Witherspoon vs. Duncan, Wal; and Railroad vs. Prescott, I6 Wal. Yours respectfully,
 W. F. HENDERSON,
 Attorney General.
