LET US HAVE ECONOMY.

The general assembly of the State meets at the capital next Monday, and although tue good sense of the members elect, and the strengthened financial condi- tion of the state should suggest the strictest economy, and render it almost work of supereroga- tion for us to refer to it, we deem the importance of this subject of sufficient weight to justify a few remarks. If there is any one thing which the people of the State have right to expect and demand of their members of the next Legislature, it is the exer- else ofa prudent economy. When ever q dollar can be saved to the taxpayers it must be done. Whenever tn. expenses of legis- lation, and of administering the State government can be cut down a dollar, without impairing efficiency, It should be done. There are many useless and al together unauthorized expendi lures incurred by Legislatures which should be dispensed with at this time. They may be small and look insignificant, but to an impoverished people, every dime taken from the weight of taxation is relief. The practice, for in stance, of subscribing for the daily newspapers for members, and footing the bill out of the peoples money is apparently an insignificant matter, but it is, nevertheless, an unauthorized ex- penditure, and should be discon tinued. Members If they want the papers, should subscribe and pay for them out of their own pockets.
 Again, all bills should be care fully examined by the proper committee and no allowance made tor unnecessary articles. It should be seen that exorbitant charges are not made against the State.
 We hope the "Blue-jeans" poli- cy will be in augurated by the next general assembly, and tax payers will be let of just as light ly as possible.
 We are largely in debt and we must economize. Let every mem Der keep this Tn mind, and as time is money, let no time De wasted in disputing over legisla ton which can be dispensed with. | We would not have any foolish economy, or more properly, mis' guided exercise of economy-such as to save dollar and thereby lose ten, but a wise and careful ecoLomy, such as will lop of all unnecessary expenses.

best fruit we have, and just as good as any country produces. is grown on what is known as the Crow Mountain-"the nice little mountain that is in our sight when we step out of our office" Never was there a nicer location for vineyards and orchards in the world than some of these beauti- full elevations afford. And when we state taat We have seen wal nut, and wild-chcrry trees three feet through on top of these ridges we think it speaks pretty we'll for the soil.
 Gum Log and Point Remove valleys, referred to by Mir. Smith, are both very rich and fertile, and the farmers in both valleys arc dong well. Pope county has a territory of near half million acres of land and throwing out all of her hills there are yet many tuotlSdlUS Ol aCTeS Ot TtCu ltuO awaiting the axe and the plow, and ready to yield up bountiful fruits to the industrious tiller of the soil, As to health we ask no country any odds. True we have some chills and ague, but we conl tend that we have much less loca- cause for sickness than many other countries, and with proper regard to healthy diet and com fortable attire there IS but little liability to sickness.
 We have never yet seen the country where there was not some persons discontented and wishing to sell out. Such per sons there are here. Many of such persons have left here and gone to Texas and after trying Texas some of them have made their way back to Pope county and arc now the best contented people we have.

NOT A BIT OF TT.

Our excellent conteu- porary, the State Grange, does us injustice, unintentionally, we believe It to be however, when it suspects that anything that we may have said in regard to that paper, has been sprinkled with sarcasm"
 Not a bit of it. Bro. Tobey; we are not one of those who can
 "Smile and murder while they smils." Neither are we one ofthose who think the less of an individual simply because his views on any particular subject may not co-in' eide with our own.
 Difference of opinon leads to discussion, and discussion leads to the truth; therefore we never fall 1out with anybody for taking issue with us. The only differ ence between the respected editor of the Grange and ourself, on the subject which has been the base of the little discussion be- tween us, is difference as to the best policy to pursue to accom- plish the same end, i. e., to elevate the standard of hus oandry, and to alleviate the hardships of the til. Ter of the soil. And certainly any one who has any humanity abou, him at all, can afford to tolerate differences on this score and re joice at any legitimate means by which the purpose may be accom- plished; for when success crowns him who utilizes the productive powers of the soil, and who caus es the earth to yield her fruits m to men, prosperity and peace reigns in the land.
 Success to the Grange in it. work ot a elioratlng the condi tion of the husbandman.

IMMIGRATION.

We have perused carefully, and with no small degree of satisfac- tion, the excellent address of the special committee, appointed by the immigration convention which was held in New Orleans last April. The Committee consists of Governor A. H. Garland, of our) own State, Judge J. H. Ken nard, of Louisiana, and Ex Gov. Anderson, of Kentucky, and their address is in the shape of an earnest, able appeal to the Legis- latures of the States of the Mis- sissipi Valley, including Louis jana. Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indian- na, Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska. The reasoning of the address is certainly sound and sensible; the deductions drawn are clear and convincing; and the suggestions offered are so good, so timely and so we'll calcu- lated to promote great good to this important scope of country, that we trust that there will be no hesitancy on the part of the Legislatures appealed to, in talk ing action to have the recomenda- tions carried into effect. The line of policy suggested by the committee in their address is surely long stride in the right direction. The address is docu ment of value and importance, and we will try and lay It before cur readers in next weeks issue. Let our members of the Legisla ture study the address carefully, and go promptly forward in the work of putting on foot an Immi- grafton Bureau which will be ready to join in with earnest, ac- tive co operation with the Board which we hope will be establish ed at New Orleans. If it costs something, it will be an invest ment which will pay the State 8 golden interest.
 The State must come to the rescue if we are to derive any practical benefit from effort being made to increase the population of our state. If onr approaching session does nothing else let this be attended to, for it is of almost paramount importance.

FROM TEXAS. PALMER, ELLIS Co.,, TEXAS Dec. 20th, 1876.

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 I read in your paper of the Eth inst, a piece headed Lands Tn Pope county" which you say in your first lines, without exag geration or misrepresentation" l wish to ask you a few questions concerning your county: you speak of the fertility of your county in general. l would ask you what the spurs of this great shelter you call the Boston Noun tain will produce? This will cover at least one fourth of your county. Then what will bloom SO nicely. on what is known as the Round Mountain that lies just north of Dover. Then what can you do with the l2 miles of piney woods that extend across your county. Then can you find any good things about those several mountains that is on the head waters of Mill Creek; then that nice little mountain that is in your sight when you step out of your office; then l could ask you more about the remaining DOT ton of your county, that of Gum Log, Point Remove, and many other points of notice as to the health or your county. How many doctors have you in your town; John w. Pruitt can answer this; and as for it being an easy place for the laboring class to procure homes, Mrs. Ann Epps, late of your county say that the reason of that is that every body wants to sell out and move to Texas.
 If you will give this space in your columns 1 will ask more questions the next time. Yours, &c., JESSE L. SMITH.
 Certainly, MT. Smith, we have no objection in the world to pub fishing your letter; and in fact we are glad you have written, for it gives us another opportunity to repeat all that we have said in regard to our lands and our ad- vantages. The objection brought up by Mir. Smith, that we have some mountainous and rough country, does not dlsprove a word that we have said in reference to our soil. We consider the sever al small mountain spurs an ad- vantage to our county. Much of the land on these ridges is good productive farming land. Some of the finest sweet potatoes and wheat that we have seen this year were grown on the 12 miles ot- piney woods referred to by correspondent; and by the way, the specimens of sweet potatoes, weighing from 3 to 4 pounds each, were handed to us by oul good friend, Mr. R. H. Smith, a brother of our correspondent, whc lives in these identical pine woods on the waters of Mill Greek. And he never fails to make them either The same may be said of the other ridges in our county. The

THE PRESIDENCY.

question asked half, nor quarter, so often as the constantly repeat ed enquiry "what of the presiden- cy now?" The whole attention of the country is centered upon this one topic. This is natural; for the people know very we'll that the dearest right of the American people-the right to choose their own president lis at state, and will be settled by the solution of the present crisis. The people understand that this is a test case and will decide whether they-the people who constitute the government, and who support it--or political par tv headed by few bold, bad par tisans are masters.
 It is utterly impossible for us ' at this time to foretell the man. ner in which the contest will end. We don't think there is much certainty about it. We, of course, have our opinion as to what ought to be, but until the 14th day of February arrives, we do not think anybody will know how the matter will end. Tilden stock is evidently above par and has an upward tendency. The chances are certainly in his favor. With lS4 undisputed votes. and with by far the better title to the votes of Louisiana and Florid, it would seem that no fair-mindod man should object to his install ment into office. But the man. ner in which Mir. Hayes claims are being pushed forward con vinces us that no means are to be scrupled at to effect his inaugura tion. He may be inaugurated, but if he is it will be sad, black day for this republic. If he, with only 165 clean, undisputed votes, and with popular majorl- ity of over a quarter of q million votes against him, can be lnau- gurated it is altogether with the party who may happen to have control of the government to say what rights the people shall here after possess. We think it hard. ly possible that such an outrage ous nsurpation can be effected, but still it may be done.
 Speaking of the likelihood of Mir. Hayes getting the office the St. Louis Times has this to say: Returning Board Hayes has a 1, hard road to travel. When can didate for the presidency has only l65 undispnted votes, with even this number liable to be whittled down by strict inspec- tion, and finds It necessary to se- cure every vote in the southern states that are claimed by his op- ponent, his prospect of winning the race necessarily becomes a remarkably poor one. He has only one chance, and that is the chance of force. In order that he may be counted in, it is necessa- " that all frauds he accepted as fixed facts; that the rights of the house of representatives be en- tirely ignored; that the plain re- quirements of the constitution be dsregarded, that the president of the senate, of his own motion and by his own will, in accord ance with a predetermined plot, shall declare Mir. Hayes to have been chosen president, in spite Of all disputes, questions or objec- tions; and finally that the army of the United States, under the leadership of q private citizen shall be used to install the man who has been so declared elected, regardless of protests or legaI processes.
 There is no path to the presi dency for Mir. Hayes but th's Itis the path of fraud and vol lence and revolution, but there IS m other.
