OZARK, July II, lo'i. IN 4 Al,

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Having left our own handsome Russellville, on the 9th inst, and now stopping at this place With my sister, Mrs. Aston, as many ot my friends are appraised, for the first time out of my immediate communl- tv since 1862, at which time l was at this place, under rather unfavora6le and by no means pleasant circum- stances-seeing after the effects of Brother, who died in the service oi his country; I left this place for home the day the Prairie Grove bat tie began. All was gloom and . dark cloud lowering over our be- loved country. The aspect now IS quite different, indeed. In passing up to this place noticed many places that called to my mind the days of my youth, that l passed about and over transacting the bus mess of Sheriff in the days of our Territorial pupilage. Now passing over and through the same country on the iron horse !-surely the change to myself and others is very striking, indeed. On my way my old friend, Judge Rose of Terri toral times, came aboard at Clarks- vile, who I had not. met for many years-the meeting was most pleas ant indeed. Judge Rose is one among the most worthy men of his day. On my arrival at this place, meeting my sister and great mum Der of old friends I had not seen fol many years, among the number oul worthy Judge Mansfield, Dr. Carter Rev. MT. Roach, Dr. Payne, A. E
 Howell, and others. Surely suct meetings have something about | rather of q heavenly tinge. Ozarb has grown to be town of some mag

IMMIGRATION
 SOCIETY.

Daily reports are coming to us from presidents of the various coun- ty immigration societies, who, with one exception, realize the necessity of having q perfect unity in our un- dertaking to bring the emigrant, so much needed, to our progressive state, by acknowledging the Arkan- sas State Immigration society, with headquarters in this city, as the leader.
 The president of the state society hereby returns thanks for the promptness with which his request has been complied, also for reports of anticipated work and the interest universally manifested.
 In aaother column we give the names of counties organized and the officers. We hope the officers of these counties not yet heard from will soon make their report, as the state board desire to get their gener- al report completed and published at an early day.
 We call the attention o1 the Iresi- dent. Vice President and Secretary of the Pope County Immigration So- ciety, to the above card from Col. Mills, the President of the State I'm migration Society. We would ask the officers of our County Society what good they expect to flow from the organization in this county il they never do anything? Our socie- ty was organized some several months ago, and up to the present time we have no information that anything has yet been done toward accomplishing the purposes for which the Society was organized. Our officers should bestir themselves and see if they cannot get up re- port to be incorporated into the Stote Soclety's report which will dc our county justice. We have one oi the very best counties in the State. and it should not be left out.

NO INJUSTICE INTEN DIED.

In last weeks paper we had few words to say about the arrest of one Rush, at this place, upon a requisi- tion from Gov. Stone, of Mississippi. Our attention has been called to one sentence in last weeks article, which, it is suggested, may be construed in- to q calumny upon the Gully family. After stating that Rush was charged with assault with intent to kill upon the person of Judge Gulley, we ad- ded this sentence:
 "The notorious and brutal Chs holm butchery at DeKalb, about which so much has been said, was part of the subsequent history of this same Gully family"
 We disclaim, most positively, any intention to cast calumny upon any body, in the above remark. The on ly intention we had was merely to state that the Chisholm trouble grew out of difficulty with this same Gully family. We did not intend our remark to go any further than this, and we are surprised that it should be so construed as to be deemed expressive of our judgement against the Gully family. We did not undertake to say who was at fault in originating the difficulty be- tween the Gulleys and the Chis- holms, for we do not know. We dis claim all intention to do any body injustice in our remark, which we again say was only intended to state a fact as to the identity of the two parties to a notorious deed, without touching atall upon the merits or de merits of the cause of either par ty.
 Our remarks may have been awk- lv worded and constructed, but cer- tainly it was far from our intention to make them personal or offensive to any one.

 OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAD,l.
 LITTLE ROCK, June IA, 1877. Hon. G. w. Hill, Superintendent Public Instructions:
 DEAR SIR: In reply to yours ot the 11th inst. l will say:
 Section 69 of the General school Law of December ', 1875, provides for the manner and length of tune notice should be given for holding annual school meetings.
 Section 56 of the same act declares who shall be Judges, and how clerks are appointed; and makes further provision for conducting the election, counting the ballots and making returns. I am satisfied that the law does not contemplate that the form alities prescribed in the General Election Law should be observed In holding annual school meetings.
 Hence the poll books and public proclamation by the Sheriff need not be had, in order to hold said meet ings, within the meaning Of the statute,
 County Clerks should notify the Directors of their election. Very respectfully, W. F, HENDERSON,
 Attorney General.

quainted with the law governing them in these matters.
 The persons who may be elected directors should study the law for it is very strict and severe penalties are imposed for neglect of duty in directors.
 We would urge the people of every district in the county to turn out en masse at these meetings, and in every case vote the full amount of tax allowed-one half of one per cent. There is no other duty so i'm peratively incumbent upon the peo- pie of this state now as to provide better school facilities for the school pupils; and there is no other way of investing the same amount of money where it will do so much good. Therefore, we repeat, remember the 3d Saturday in August, go to the school meeting, choose good di- rector, and vote one half of one per cent. tax for school purposes.

The County court of St. Francis county, Mo-, has recently been in dicted by the grand jury for not publishing a detailed statement of the financial condition of said coun- ty. This is proper and right, as the people should know how their money is expended, and know it through their county newspaper. In our county, matters of this kind are pub- lished, and the people see what our officials are doing; and it is pleasure for us to say that our County Judge and other officials are making splen- did showing.-Ex.
 It is the law in our State. too, that financial statement of the county shall be submitted to the people oi each county once each year, but ln Pope county the law seems to be so far imperative that the matter has been neglected for the past year. The law should be complied with. We have not the slightest doubt but that our county finances are being ably managed, but the statement should be submitted to the people.
