GFrom The South.]

the long continuance OF tne uni
versal hard times than this;
and the Springfield Republican,
which may be supposed to be
opposed to the State in politics,
well says that "there has seldom
been a greater change in the
condition Of a State, within a
couple of years, than has oc-
cured in Arkansas since Fed
eral interference was withdrawn.
Grants reported remark to some
Louisiana politicians who were
worrying him to orecognize Pack
ard, and so prop up his totter-
Ing government, expressed it
forcibly; They seem to be doing
well enough in Arkansas. Ihear
of no trouble there, and two
years ago it was hell The rea-
son is not far to seek"
But let us not pursue the
reason. 1t is the same which
was, until recently, working
disaster and decay in South
Carolina and Louisiana; and let
us be devoutly thankful that at
last the same remedies and the
same miricles of recuperation
are at work there as here. From
the message Of Governor Miller
at the commencement Of the
present year, as from his inau-
gural address, we learn that the
restoration Of legitimate govern.
ment III Arkansas, in 1874, found
an empty treasury, a beggared
people, q financial reputation
apparently ruined. The scrip
Of the State, nominally quoted
at twenty-five cents on the dol
lar, was a drug upon the mar
ket, even at that price. AS the
sole practical means Of meeting
the contingent expenses OF the
government, it had become the
custom to issue such scrip at
the rate of three or four dollars
for one; and every day was
plunging the State into more
hopeless bankruptcy. Money,
there was none Credit, there
was none. The people were dis
heartened, and, on this account,
comparatively idle, Such was
the poverty Of the State, that
during many months succeeding
the change Of administration,
its officers were habitually com
PEELED to advance their private
funds, and even to borrow on
their private credit, to obtain
the stationary and pay the petty
expenses Of their Offices. .. '..
We may sum up the contrast
by saying that now hardly a
State in the Union has better
credit, or better prospect Of
maintaining it. The present
Goverpor,ali like his worthy pre-
decessor, Garland, and all the
intelligent people and the press
of the State, have seen the i'm
portance and necessity OF en-
,9couraging immigration, and have
acted upon it; and Immigrants
of the best class are coming into
the State from all quarters. This
is the daily testimony. Every
body is hopeful, busy and hap
py-t the negroes with the rest.
81 The educational system of the
State, like its climate and ma
stlral advantages, is Of the best.
In thriving Little Rock, the larg-
est city of the State, with a
population of 10000, new build
ings are going up in every
direction, and this story is
echoed from various parts Of the
State, which, all things consia4
cred those we have mentioned
as well as the many important
ones we have omitted-possesses
more attractions than any other
State on this side of the Cont
nent. ....

TIE SUBMARINE TUNNEL-The Paris CORES.
pendent of the EcOnomast states that the asso-
citation for constructing the submarine tunnel
between England and France recently held a
meeting in Paris, to hear a report on the geo.
logical explorations and soundings executed
last year. The account given stated that the
surveys were made throughout the zone in
which it is proposed to pierce tine tunnel, and
which consists of a bed Of clay perfectly
continuous and homogeneous, and that the
excavation may be made between the two
shores through the same chalk system. The
engineers are now as certain as possible that
the execution of the tunnel is quite practicable.
They have already fixed on the exact spot
for The shafts for bringing up the chalk ezcava-
ted, and the direction Of the gallery for
carrying of the water inIltrated. The con-
s%truction Of this gallery for a short distance will
permit them to obtain an absolute certainty e
the conclusions drawn from the geological study
of the surface of the halk,-E~rQpean Nal.

PRESERVING ELEPHANTS In IcE.-Some
Russians lately found in Siberia another eje-
plant perfectly preserved in ice; they we're
able to eat its flesh. M. Bayle, in announcing
the fact to the Geological Society Of France,
said it did not prove that elephants had lived
in the country, but that, in a time of great
cataolysm, their bodies may have been trars-
ported by a very strong current from the
Himalsyas on to Siberia, where they were
stopped by the ice the time necessary for
such transport is much less than would be
generally supposed. The elephants, very nu.
merous at that epoch, had not all been carried
to Siberia, many had been stopped en- route,
and nothing had been left of them but their
bones and tusks it was the latter that had
been long since used by the Chinese for their
works of cut ivory. With regard to the cata-
clySm carrying elephants to northern regions,
Count Hugo has pointed out that every year
English and American fishermen have brought
up elephant tusks in their nets. The number
Of these got annually may be estimated at
about a thOusand.-lbad.

and grew more impatient as no sign of the
procession conld be seen, save a cluster of
mounted men, all bedizened with green, who
kept curveting and prancing their chargers
to show their horsemanship. Finally at
twenty minutes past twelve, a division of
the Ancient order of Hibernians moved up
to the sound of . fife and drum and wheeled
into their place. Organization after organ
ization then came slowly up, and as they
wheeled around the corner received their
orders where to 60. There was considerable
delay and some confusion but a number of
German bands endeavored to harmonic
things by playing Irish patriotic airs, and
gradually the various organizations, the
mounted marshals and their aids, the
prominent men in carriages and all the other
elements of the procession were assigned
their places, and start was made at a
quarter to 2 o'clock.

VICTIMS OF THE ROPE.
FOur Negroes Hung In, Aiken south
Carolina

AIKEN, s. c., March 17.--The four negro
murderers, Nelson Brown, Fucius Thomas
Adam johnson, and John Henry Denis,
were hung at noon yesterday.
The meu were members Of gang that
were banded together for the commission
OF crise, and in short time they became
terror to the region they infested.
On November I'd, 1876, two quiet Ger
mans, named Hauseman and Partman, liv
ing four miles from this place, were mur.
dered, their Leuses robbed, set on fire, and
burned to ashes. Suspicion attached to five
negroes named Nelson Brown, Adam
johnson, John Henry Denis, and Stephen
Anderson, who were arrested and convict
ed.
Proofs accumulated that they were the
right parties, and they finally made con-
fession, and also confessed to burning the
Baptist Church at Aiken, murdered
man named Leain, and other crimes. On
January 5th they were tried by a jury
composed Of twelve negroes, convicted and
sentenced to be hung on the 10Th of March.
Wednesday Governor Hampton respited
Anderson for thirty days.
About II O'Clock the Sheriff entered the
cell of the doomed men and announced to
to the doomed men that the hour
for carrying out the dread .cntence of
death had arrived. The men made no
response, but kept on with their prayers.
At signal from the Sheriff, the deputies
began to place ropes about their arms
binding them effectually. The black caps
were then crushed down over their heads,
and the march to the gallows was taken up
the file being guarded by a hle Of military.
They walked in firm steady step until
the stairs to the gallows were reached
when Johnson and Denis stepped back, but
q few words in their ears from one of
the ministers whoaccoKpanied them seemed
to assure them, ard they walked up the
steps with a resolute air and took their
position on the trap.
At precisely 10 NJ, the sigual was given,
and the men fell through the trap with
heavy thud. The fall instantly broke the
necks of Brown, Denis ana johnson. The
nsose around Thomas neck slipped from
1ndes his ear and he was choked to death.
After hanging half an hour the men were
ut down and placed in plain collins.
While the men were hanging the colored
,eople made the scene grotesque by their
hrieks means and lam entations.
After the execution the gallows was
aided upon, ane the ropes cut down and
distributed i'll small pieces to the crowd.
