The Mine Sprung at Last.

The "scalers" have at last matur- ed their plans and published their scheme for adjusting, compromising and sealing the outstanding claims against the State, including the illegal and fraudulent with the just and acknowledged. The details Of the plan were published in the St. Louis Republican of the 18th inst, which we republish in this evenings Telegraph, and to which we invite the especial attention of our readers.
 It will be observed that Gov. Wm. R. Miller, Maj Jno. D. Adams and one Redfeld are managing and en- gineering the matter. Who else compose the ring or syndicate or whatever it may be called is not made known. Adams and Redfield have proposed to the creditors of the State-bogus as well as bona fide, to compromise their claims by paying them new bonds as follows; ''To the holders of the just, legal and undisputed bonds of the State, at the rates of 67 cents on the dollar; to the holders of the Holford bonds, 3S cents on the dollar, and to the illegal and worthless Railroad aid and Levee bonds, 19 cents on the dollar; and further agree, if the proposition is accepted, to have the new bonds ready for delivery by the 10th of July 1878. And Governor Miller agrees, on his part, if Adams and Redfield's proposition is accept ed by a majority of the bondholders, that he will convene the Legislature, and procure the passage of law authorizing the issuance of the new bonds!
 Just so! It strikes us that the people of Arkansas and the Legis- lature of the State will have some thing to say about this matter. It will be for them to say whether or not they will consent to make the holders of just and legal and undis- puted bonds of the State abate 33 per cent of their just claims, in order that the holders of bonds which the Supreme Court have de cided to be illegal may get l9 per cent of their fraudulent and worth less claims. If the people of Arkan- sas ever consent to such dlsreputa ble scheme to rob Peter to pay Paul, when Peters claim is just and Panps debt a fraud, then they are not made of the stuff we think they are.
 But there are other objections to this scheme which we have not yet mentioned which in due time we will make known. We are possess ed of data to show that this project is a job, full of selfish, corrupt and mercenary schemes which when known, will bring down upon It and it's authors the condemnation and execration of the people.

OUR GOVERNMENT DEBT.

Auditor Crawford has written and published in the Gazette, the follow ing letter in regard to the payment of the States indebtedness to the United States.

Without a Newspaper.

Nothing presents a sadder com mentary upon the present condition of society than the large number et families both in town and country, but more especially in the latter, that subscribe to no paper of any kind Hundreds of thousands of families are thus growing up igno rant of the mighty events of the day. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is being inflicted on the rising generation-those who are to take our place in the busy world at no distant day-growing up without any knowledge of the present or study of the past; thIs ignorance, too, being imbued into them by the sanction of those who should, and doubtless do, know better, did they only think of the injurious effects of their insane course. Let the head of every family think of this, and put in the hands of those for whom he is responsiole the means of ac quirlng some knowledge of the nov ing panorama in which We act our different parts.
