rect. We gaze 1t only 50 far as we could then remember, without hay ing any of the papers before us, and subject to correction.
 We believe we stand corrected, so far, at least, as the Saline Digest is concerned, The other papers claim cd by the Gazette as having placed themselves with the Scalers, we are not so sure about. They have, we believe, all of them, expressed them selves as opposed to repudiation, but we do not remember to have seen anything from them committing them to the support of the Adams Redtield plan. We have not claim ed them, and if they are with you they can say so, and we will give them to you, every one of them, and still the repudiation papers, as you call them, will be Tn the majority, for we named twenty-seven which are bitterly opposed to the plan. Is there any other counties to hear from?

-THE ELECTIONS result of the election in Ohio is glorious victory for the democrats. Bishop, the democratic candidate for govern or, is elected by majority of about 3o,000. This is a net gain of more than l6,000 over last year. The democratic majority in the house will be 2S, and in the senate l5, ma. king clear majority of 4l on joint ballot and insuring the election Of a democratic Senator. The result in Iowa is republican majority of 25.- 900, and probable majority in the Legislature of 35.

cd: some practical work. and not mere empty Reclamation. Nor do we sec why the citizens of the State should be willing to devolye the en- tire business and responsibility on the Board of Finance. It is just as easy for any citizen to confer with the bondholders as it is for Messrs. Adams and Redfield to do so. As for mere invective, crimination and recSimination. we believe that it may be confidently asserted that if any public advantage was to be derived from these, our beloved State would long ago have attained the very zenith of prosperity.

 "The Russellville DEMOCRAT says there are only six papers in the State that support the Adams-R -Redfield proposition. It gives it's list, but fails to mention the following papers that have endorsed, substantially, the plan; Saline Digest, Brinklcy Times, Newport News, Lawrence County Journal, Clarendon Sun, Randolph Scalpel, Ark. City Post, Jonesboro Times, Western Immi- grant. Bat then this statement of the Russellville DEMOCRAT IS about as accurate as we could expect from the average repudiation paper All we ask is that the repndiation papers will not copy this article from the DEMOCRAT without a careful exani- nutioh as to the. facts in the case The repudiation papers are not in a majority in Arkansas, though there are more of thcm than we like to see.

Texarkana Democrat:

"We do not endorse the dignity ol the auti-compromise portion of the Democratic press, that characterizes their opposition. It is petty in spitefulness, unfair and not gencr- ous in spirit. But we tell them from the highest to the lowest, that the People bet higher on Gov. Miller's opinions than on all the slang they can throw at him in lifetime. Gov. Miller is true to Arkansas, her peo- pie, her interests; and we arc entire ly content to abide by his conclu- sions on this noted question.
 Now, how Is that for toadyism' No one, so far as we have observed, has thrown slang at Gov. Miller, and we have seen no one dispute the fact that he is true to Arkansrs. We have seen no attack on Gov. Miller at all. We believe that he is true to Arkansas, but that does not make him infallable by any means, and we pity the man who is such devo- tee to toadyism as to allow any man, no matter who he may be, to do his thinking for him. On questions af fectlng the public interests every man should do his own inyestiga- ting, his own thinking, and arrive at his own conclusions. This, we do, no matter whom we may differ with and we say it as very forced con structlon which would make this out as disrespectful act toward Gov, Miller. Whenever it comes to such a pass that we dare not discuss pub lie measures without being put down as reasonable to the State Admins. tration, we desire to know it.

THE STATE DEBT.

The State Board of Finance have published in the Gazette a long let ter to the People of Arkansas, on the subject of our State debt. The Ga zette has been ominously silent on the letter, and unless it speaks out soon, we fear the few county echoes of that paper throughout the State will be at . loss to know what to say about it. It is very lengthy document, but the subject being one of vast importance to the people of the State, we have surrendered enough of our space this week to re- produce the letter.
 The letter of the Finance Board is an explanation of "what they un- derstand by the Adams Redfleld proposition, and what they believe it is understood to mean by the ma ksrs thereof" We have not yet had time to give the letter that careful study which we intend to give 1t, but from one hurried perusal of it, it ap- pears to us that the Finance Board now sec that they were very hasty in accepting proposition as vague, uncertain and inaccurate in it's fig ures as is tho Adams Redfeld prop osltion. If fthe proposition was just what the Finance Board say they understand it to mean, and what they believe the makers understand it to mean, then 1t would be some better for the State than what it is. But does the understanding that the Finance Board may have of the mat ter alter the written proposition? ? And will the makers of the proposi- ton allow the Finance Board to put their own construction upon it's meaning2 It seems to us it would have been better for the Finance Board to have insisted upon the wording of the contract itself to ex- press what they say they understand it to mean, rather than to rely upon having their understanding of it's meaning to govern hereafter. But we do not intend to be stickler for small details in this matter, and if the explanation of the Finance Board serves to so far correct erro- neous figures Tn the Adams Redfield proposition, and to so far enlighten the people on this question, as to bring them together upon that plan or any other plan for the equitable settle mcnt of our Stata debt, we shall be glad of it. Had we more space we should refer to some of the argu- ments and some of the figures Tn this letter which strike us as being some what peculiar to emenate from the State Finance Board. But being short of space this week, we will re- serve further comments until an other issue, contenting ourselves at the present with calling attention to the fact that the estimate now made by the Finauce Board reduces the amount of our undisputed bonded indebtedness from $3,727,S27 as giv- en in the AR proposition, to $3,022,- 623, difference in favor of the State of nearly three-quGtcrs of a million of dollars.

The sun Iumps a nav.

Chatham Island, lying off the
coast of New Zealand, in the South
Pacific Ocean, is peculiarly situated,
as it is one of the habitahle points of
the globe where the day of the week
changes. 1t is Just in the line of
demarkation between dates. There
high II or noon ceases, and instant
ly Monday meridian begins. Sun
day comes into a mans house on the
east side, and becomes Monday by
the time it passes out the western
door. Aman sits down to his noon
day dinner on Sunday, and it is
Monday noon before he finishes it.
There Saturday is Sunday, and Sun
day is Monday, and Monday be-
comes suddenly transferred into
Tuesday. Itisa a good place for peo-
pie who have lost much time, for by
taking an early start they can al
ways get a day ahead on Chatham
Island. 1t took philosophers and
geographers a long time to settle
the puzzle of where Sunday noon
ceased and Monday noon began,
with a man travelling West Is de.
grees an hour, or with the sun. 1t
is to be hoped that the next English
Arctic expedition will settle the
other mooted question: "Where
will one stop who travels northwest

Professor Smith was lecturing in
Ossipee on Natural Philosophy, and
in the course of his experiments, he
introduced one of Carrington's most
powerful magnets with which he at
tracted a block of iron a distance of
two feet.
"Can any one of you conceive of
a greater attractive pOwer?" the
lecturer then demanded.
"I ken," answered a voice from
the audience.
''Not natural, terrestrial object,
I opine."
''Yaasr'
The professor challenged the man
who had spoken to name the thing.
Then up rose old Seth Wimlet.
He was a genious in his way and
original at that.
Said he:
81 ken give ye the facts, Squire,
an y'u ken judge for yourself.
When ] were young man, thar
were little piece of natural mag
net done up in kaliker and dimity,
as was called Betsy Jane. She
could draw me fourteen miles every
Sunday. Sakes alive! it wor just as
natural as slidin' down hill. There
warn't no resistin' her. That ere
magnet o. yourn is pooty good but
'taint circumstance to the one that
drawed me. No SIR"
The audience sympathized with
Seth as was manifested in their up
roarious applause.

There was another pause, when the

quizzical as he replied that he "be-
lieved" they did.

silver Coin.

Adviees from Washington City
say that the total amount of subsid-
iaTv silver coin issued thus far ex-
ceeds twenty-five millions of dollars,
the limit fixed by law being fifty
millions. This latter was thought
at the time it was fixed to be exces-
sive. But it is now positively known
to scientists and financiers that at
no time has the Republic ever had
any where near an adequate supply
of small currency of any kind, either
in paper or coin. In the British
isles the total amount OF silver in
circulation is about one hundred and
sixty millions of dollars. Those who
give a lower figure do SO by omit
ting Ireland. In Germany the same
amount has alwavs been required,
and the Bank of France now has
that amount of silver in preparation
for resumption. These are highly
civilized, densely populated cOun-
tries, but of smaller extent compared
with ours, and therefore able to
economic in circulation. In cur
own case we never had nominally
more than fortv-six millions of dol
lars of small notes in use, and it is
now known that of that amount
fully sixteen millions was destroyed
and not available. Yet the curren
cy was supposed to be inflated.
Now it is more than probable that
the whole fifty millions of silver
will be coined and issued without in
any way proving an excessive supply.
The President and Director of the
Mint both recommend a large in
crease of the amount, and it is even
likely that the limit fixed will be
one hundred millions. The silver
measures of the Government have
been so decidedly popular and sue
cessful, that the lower house of Con-
gress has passed, by the overwhelm-
ing majority of one hundred and
sixty-seven, a bill to repeal the de-
monetization act. This restores the
old silver dollar which was by law a
legal tender to the amount of ten
dollars, and should the bill become
a law, as is now probable, the coin
age of the Silver dollars will be re-
sumed. The main trouble is that
silver, instead of being superabund-
ant, is really scarce, the Director of
the Mint saying that there is not in
the country, except in coins, plate,
and in the arts, more than the value
of three millions of dollars.
