Railroad Bonds.

In the Littlo Rock Star, of Saturday,
wo find the following, in regard to the
S10,000,000 bonds issued by the State,
for railroad purpose:
ain tho State Supreme Court, this
morning, most important railroad case
was decided. Judge Walker delivered
an opinion, declaring that the law under
which tho railroad bonds were issued,
was unconstitutional and void Two OF
the chief grounds upon which the opin.
ion rested, are that the law was passed
through the legislature in violation of
that provision Of the constitution reaui-
ring that all bills should be read three
times, on three separate days--uness q
suspension of tho rules was effected
The records Of the general assembly do
not show that the rules were suspended
in either house, although tho bill was
read twice in the Senate in one day
and in the lower house three times on
the same day. The other objection re.
ferred to, is that the vote of the people
authorizing the issue Of the bonds had
been taken before the bill became law
The amount Of bonds voided by this de-
cision, is over four million dollars, and
with accrued interest will amount to
more than six millions altogether"

CLOSING Of THE HIGH SCHOOL.

WITHIN the last week the Publ,
School, under the management Of Mis-
Mcbride, closed its session with appro
pirate examination exercises. We ar,
not able TO give an extended report o.
the day-exereises, the nature Of our du
ties preventing the possibility of our at
tendance. But, from those who pert
privileged to be present, we learn such
facts as warrant us in saying that, in
the history of Van Buren,, there has
nsrer been = chool.examination that in
any and all particulars was more credit
able TO teacher alike with scholar, or
more completely satisfactory to parents
and all interested, than the one which
has just brought to an end the first ses-
sion Of the school under the excellent
supervision Of Miss Mcbride. Not only
were all the pupils theoretically advised
in their varied studies, but they cxem-
plifed, by their splendid explanations OF
such theories, their ability to bring such
information to practical use, when they
turned their barques loose on the great
and restcss tides of human existence.
The exhibition, Wednesday night, Dor.
dered on the marvellous. 1t was a won
drousiy strange sight to see these lit
tie children taking part in exercises, the
real meaning Of which We should hard
~ believe them capable of understand
ing. The excellence of their perform
anee, alike with their matronly demean,
or, was but the natural outgrowth Of
that persistent and untiring effort that
is SO marked a characteristic Of tho lady
who has had them under her scholastic
management The three essays Of the
Normal School were literary treats, and
bore the marks of that pruning and
directing hand that had so successfully
directed and guided the mental powers
of both young and old. Despite an un-
der current Of opposition which has, in
a measure impeded the pathway of sue,
cess of the Superintendent aud tended to
impair the strcnuousness of her efforts,
that lady has directed successfully to its
close, the best school in many respects
that within our twenty years knowl,
edge, has been taught in Van Buren,. 1t
will be tremdcndous undertaking for
any one to do better than she has done.

GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY

Everything appears to be at q stand
still on the Danube. The arrival of the
Car at Roumania it was expected would
produce immediate activity. This antic-
ipation has been far from realized, as
nothing has been done since he reached
the field. 1t is now announced that the
attempt of the Russians to cross the Dan
ube, and begin their SO lthern invasion,
must necessarily be delayed until July.
The excuse; this time, for the delay. is
the alleged impossiblity of placing in
depot the immense amount of stores the
Russians are moving towards the river
before that time. The campaign in
ASA; however, appears to have been en-
llvened by few Turkish victories which
have inspired them to assume the often.
slvc. Several sorties have been made
from kars, and detachment has been
sent toward Arabian, which again prom
ises to become point of interest. A
large force has also lett Delibaba to at.
tack column of the left wing before
Toprak- kslen. The Russians, it is an.
nouneed, are concentrating large forces
in the vicinity Of Kars. Turkish news
pape' are strongly opposed to peace, it
is said, and utterly discreait MI recent
peace rumors. The Presther-Lloyd, an
Influential Hungarian paper however
says it has reason to believe pence may
be nearer than is generally Supposed
A Constantinople dispatch reports that
the Russians have erected latter, on
an Island opposite Rutschuck. 1t was
stated in the English House Of Com,
mons, yesterday that Russia had assured
England that she would neither block
AIDE, interrupt OF menace navigation OF
the Suez canal A movement is on foot,
IN certain Hungarian principalities to
prccipltate intervention to preserve the
integrity Of the Ottoman Empire, A dis.
patch from ErZeron, states that the ty-
plus aud other diseases have carried off
ten thousand Turkish soldiers within the
past SIX months.

The Republican Row in New Orleans

A special New Orleans dispatch, ofthc
llth, to the st. Louis Republican, says
"Pitliins' last kick, as sent last night,
was published in this mornings Demo.
Graf, and has created the greatest CON
stornation here among the Hayes policy
Republicans, and to make matters worse,
it is said now that ii is only the com.
mencement OF a war upon Hayes by
Ben. Butler and Rlaino. $780, ---.
Packard and Pitkin have been closeted
in the lattcr's office, nearly all day, but
nothing is known Us to their actions or
future policy, The Hayes policy sup
portcrs are opposed to the war, but hard
" dare express themselves openly.
In conversation with Returning Board
Wells, to-day, he told your correspond
ent that as his board has made Hayes
what he is, they would have to stand by
and support him, even though it be in
position to the Packard Pitkin faction
Pitkin said, tonight, that he had receiv,
ed a couple of kilograms from Washing
ton, intimating that all was not lost, from
which it is inferred that some Of his
friends Butler, perhaps,) are trying tc
intimdate Hayes. Pltkin intimates now
as q threat, perhaps, that he may visit the
Northern States, those holding election:
this fall, soon, for the purpose Of stump
ing them, and if he does that, he will re
serve, as he calls it, his big thunder
meaning letters from leading Rcpubli
cans, sent him during the campaign, fol
that occasion. He is positive in his as
sertions that four members in the cabinet
arc not in accord with Hayes.
