WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

There has been much complaint among people who have sold cotton in Russellville this season about weights. From the best of our in formation all this complaint is with out cause or foundation. It would certainly be very much to the dis advantage of our merchants to give false weights, and we do not believe any of them would intentionally de- fraud cotton seller in weight. This brings us to the State law in regard to weights and measures, and we believe if the provisions of the law were carried out there would be none of the complaint which we now hear so often. The law provides that the County Clerks office shall be supplied with set of weights and measures corresponding with those in. the Secretary of States office (which are the same as the U. $. Standard) and that upon ap- plication the Clerk shall test all weights and measures by the set in his office and seal the same. It is made the duty of township Consta- bles from time to time to inspect all weights used in the county and see that they are kept to correspond with the set in the County Clerks office. Why Is not this flaw carried out? It would certainly be a safe guard and protection to the public and would save merchants and deal CTS ot frequent false accusation of keeping false weights.
 The law is good one and should be put into practical use.

'IMMIGRATION---TOO MUCH
 OF A GOOD THING.

The Rev. Mir. Mcintyre has hand ed us copy of the Galveston News and called our attention to the fol lowing article which we commend to the careful thought and considera- tion of our readers:
 "The papers in the older Southern States continue to note the departure of emigrants in hordes for Texas, and to deprecate the ignis fatuus that leads them to seek their fortunes in the west. It may seem surprising but It is fact, that the same depre- catory feeling is to certain extent shared by the people of Texas. The novelty and sensational effects, for merly experienced with a patriotic pride at witnessing the grandest stream of immigration that ever poured into any American State, have greatly diminished, and . more practical view of the subject now ob- talns. It Is true that our polititians, embryonic as we'll as full fledged, as piring to future public honors, may prefer to see the tide come on in promiscuous and unabat.ng volume, having an eye to the increase of Congressional representation after the census of 1880; but the majority of thoughtful Texans do not care any longer to see the coming of the penniless and the shiftless element, which forms no small fraction of the annual influx of population. This is more for the sake of poor immigrants than for any other consideration. There is room for all honest and in- dustrious people who may come, and all such are welcome; but experience has proved that only those who bring means sufficient to support them until they can begin to realize the fruits of their industry, manage to thrive without an ordeal of hard ship that makes them deplore the day they left their old homes, and often drives them back to the East.

action and we urge 1t upon the at- tention of the people of Pope county. If we act now we can have most creditable affair Of it next fall. We took the lead of all our sister coun ties this year and we should follow up the step we have taken. If we stop at this one Fair we had just as well not held it at all. Will not some of our representative citizens in different parts of the County stir the subject and communicate to- gether on the subject. Early in January would be splendid time to have preliminary meeting. We trust our appeals in the matter will not go unheeded.

TIME PASSES,

And very soon our farmers will have their years laber done, A short breathing spell will then intervene before the active labor of Spring work commences, and we again beg leave to say to our county people that during the interval will be the best time that they will have for the organization and establishment of 6 County Fair Association. If this matter is put of until Spring it will
 not be likely to be attended to at all
 and then we will be no better pre- pared for Fair next fall than we
 were last. This is matter worth

OUR SCHOOL INTERESTS.

Has Russellville and her people
 gone to sleep on the subject of the school interests of the town? Have the citizens of our town concluded that they are just as we'll of without q good free school as they are with it? If so, they never labored under a more fatal delusion. The greatest want of the place today is GOOD FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL, and if our citi- zens will only revive the lively feel ing of zeal and' interest winch they formerly manifested in school mat.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-12-20

ters it will be well for them. There is no where in this section of the State nicer location for real good school than Russellville, and besides the great need of the town itself for a good school, one located here would supply want felt in the whole scope of country surrounding us. Russell vile District has 200 or 250 school children who should be in school nine months each year. The num- Der of pupils which a high-clas school located here would receive from the surrounding country, and from the counties adjoining us would very likely aggregate hun dred more. The school population of our county is increasing very rapidly, and the demand for good school here will grow every year. Our school district is now, happily, at last free from debt, the scool tax collected for 1876 having just about been sufficient to pay of all out standing indebtedness. The taxes for 1877 will now be collected in the course of two or three months, and will be available for school purposes. The public fund may, if the proper steps are taken, and the proper in terest is aroused, be augmented some Four or Five Hundred Dollars by aid from the Peabody Fund. This, with the amount of tuition which would be received from pupils attending the school from outside of the District ought to give us a fund sufficient to keep good school open nine months each year. And good school open free to the pupils of the District, and open also at a low rate of tuition to pupils from outside the district, kept open nine months each year would do more to add to the prosperity and growth of our town than anything else, would be powerful agency to elevate and refine the moral tone and complex ion of the community, and rebound to our credit ill a thousand ways. Will our people not think of this matter? And will they not think actively and vigorously, and deter mine to act wisely in this matter? Let the matter be agitated and the wishes of the people ascertained. We should be glad to have some of our leading citizens speak out on the subject.

sas as ever trod the soil of the State. A paper of the Gazette's pretenslons ought to scorn to condesccnd to such disreputable tactics as this. But it only proves the weakness of It's cause. It cannot answer the arguments and solid objections which have been adduced against Adams and Redfield's plan, and it therefore seeks to befoul and stain the personal character and inten- tions of those who differ with it by the vilest abuse, islander and mis- representation. But drowning mer will catch at straws.

CATCHING AT STRAINS.

l ne T [. SnlLn lndepenucnL urlVeS the center in the following remarks:
 The 'sscalers" think they will re- move the finance question from our politics by the consummation of the Adams and Redfeld plan at call session, but we predict that they will only make it PERMANENT ISSUE, before which will fall many head now held high. The people will be made to know all about it in the next campaign, whether settled" or not by call session, and we much mistake the good sense of Arkansas if they will ever trust again men who are afraid to trust THEM.-Inde pendent.
 The "scalers" have as yet seen only the skirmish-line of the great battle in store for them, if they thus insult the intelligence and invade the rights and ignore the interests of their constituents. Fayetteville Democrat.
 Unwittingly, perhaps, these pa DClb uuNC NODiCoSCO OHC WuOiC u u6u. Without thinking they have admit ted the true cause of the heated con- test over the payment of the State debt. It is not for the settlement of the debt--not to give peace to the politics of the State by removing a disturbing issue, but to make "a PERMANENT IssE," one that is to last something upon which new party can be built up, new combination of odds and ends banded together for the spells of office. This is the design of the repudiators; and we thank them that Tn an ~unguarded moment they spoke out their pur- pose. They care nothing about pay ing the debt. It is better to wran- gle over it--better to put the ques- ton Tn the next campaign, in order that many now in office may be cut down, and that the apostles of the gospel of repudiation may be pro- noted to place and power. Oh, we thank you, Jews, for these words. We have known your purposes long and well-the deep dark treachery that, for selfaggrandizement, would destroy the integrity of the Demo cratic party in Arkansas, but we did not think you would so soon expose your purpose.-Gazette.
 It has been the steady policy of the Gazette, whenever it has dealt with this question to misrepresent all who dared differ with it in regard to the Adams Redfield scaling plan. Deception and misrepresentation has characterized every utterance it has given on the subject, and it has not hesitated to try to drag down all men and papers who have oppos- ed tito attack and drag down the men and papers, AND NOT THEIR AR GUMENTs. The assertion in the above article that the repudiation- ists care nothing about paying the State debt, that they prefer to wran- ale over it in order that they may be promoted to place and power, and that they would destroy the integri- ty of the democratic party in Arkan- sas is 8 vile misrepresentation and base islander upon men who are as true democrats, as pure in their intentions and as devoted to Arkan-

WANT OF GRIT.

Chamberlain died for the want OF spunk.
While lovers Of justice and equal rights
everywhere will be sorry for the patriotic
and long suffering Republicans oil South
Carolina, because of the condition in which
their state is now placed, there will be bu,
little sympathy for Chamberlain personally,
because he made no effort on his own part
TO defend his rights, and those OF his party.
He continued to exercise the functions of
his Office only so long as he WAS supported
by L. s. troops, but when these were with
drawn, though he had a majority of the
voters Of the state at his back, he immedi-
ately stepped down and out in the face of
Wade Hampton's bluster, and surrendered
the state government into the hands of the
minority. The old heather addage says,
"the gods help those who help themselves"
and people are very much like gods, in
this respectively hayn't much help or
much sym pathy for the man who doesn't
try to fight his own battles. 1t may be
that the odds were SO strongly against Mr..
Chamberlain that it was useless for him to
try to held out longer, but he would have
received great deal more sympathy if he
made good earnest fight for his rights.

THE BLACK HILLS

Travellers to the Black Hills are no SOON
er relieved OF approximations regarding de-
predstions by the hostile Sioux than they
are in danger of being relieved of their por-
table cash by "road agents." The Indians
are quite enough inst now, but their absence
from the line of the crowded stage-coaches
has only made room for bands OF white des-
peSadoes bent upon robbery and disagreed
bly, Indifferent whether they include muir
der or not. A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, at Deadwood, writes Of a recent
midnight attack upon the Cheyenne stage
within two miles of its destination, the kill
ing of the driver, and the narrow escape of
the passengers from a similar fate Evil

is not yet such as to offer many attractions

underground deposits Of the vicinity OF
Deadwood is one which comes home TO

WAR IN THE EAST,

The situation in Europe looks decidedly
like war. But one thing, it seems to US
can avert it-and that il a combined and
threatening pressure of the Great Powers
upon the Porte to force the acceptance Of
the protocol. 1t looks as If there were no,
enough unanimity of opinion among them
Tor this. A few days more will doubtless
determine. The countries involved have
so insensibly drifted toward war that the
imminence of the conflict il now hardly
realized. While people have been specu-
lating as to the probable course of Russia,
Turkey has been steadily getting into such
war-like condition that there appears to
be no safe line of retreat. 1t is significantly
rumored that Turkey, unable TO endure the
strain of a sudden disarm lament, has sent 8
secret agent to implore that Great Britain
shall not unduly press this point So, al
though Turkish agent may be sent to ne
gotiate terms Of disarmament with Russia,
there is little prospect that these negotia-
tions will lead to peace.
