President Hayes Inaugural
 Address.

FELLOW CITIZENS: We have as sembled to repeat the public cere
 monies begun by Washington and
 observed by all my predecessors, and now a time honored custom, which marks the commencement of new term of the presidential office. Called to the duties of this great trust, l proceed, in compliance with usages, to an nounce some of the leading prin- ciples on the subject which now
 chiefly engages public attention, by which it IS my desire to be guided in the discharge of these duties. l shall not undertake to lay down irrevocably, principles of administration, but rather to speak of tine motives which should animate us to suggest certain i'm portant ends to be attained in ac- cordance with our institutions
 and essential to the welfare of oul country. At the outset of the discussions which preceded the presidential election, 1t seemed te me fitting that l should fully make known my sentiments m re gard to several of the important questions which tLen appeared tc l demand the Consideration of tht

HAYES INAUGURAL.

The Inaugural Address of the new President may be found in to-day's paper. It is a plainly worded document of no great length, and will be read with much interest by the people of the south. If Mr. Hayes follows up the policy which he has foreshad owed in his inaugural, the great est fear winch we have had of his administraiion,-the fear that he would be lead and controlled by the same men who have been such bitter enemies to a peaceabie South during Grants Administra- tion,-may be laid aside; for his promises and pledges in regard to the Southern policy are certainly as fair and candid as we expected from him.
 Let Mir. Hayes be held square ly and closely to the line of policy laid down in his address. The country will watch him closely and will demand of him a faithfu compliance with the fair promises with which he sets ont. If hS

A CHANGE FOR ALL.

Every days mail brings letters of inquiry to us in regard to our county. They come from Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and almost all of the other States. They want to know, some of them, if there is any opening for industrious far mers. Others want to know the chance there is for miners, me chanics, millers, machinists, labor CTS, &c,, &c.
 We can only say, as we have said repeatedly before, that we believe there IS chance here for all. Our country is new,-iust opening up and beginning to de yelope. We have thousands of acres of land, both opened ready for cultivation, and wild; so that Nany man who wants to till the . soil can get chance, and with the certain assurance of Tar remuneration for his labor.

 LAY ASIDE sELFISHNESS.

We know it is human nature to be selfish, and we know that this element of human nature is so strong in some mems minds, or natures, that it is no use to appeal to them to discard it. But we cannot refrain, now that we see a chance for our country to make a great stride forward if our people will be public spirited and hospit able to those who are coming among us, from entreating our people to beware of the evil effects of a mean selfishness and spirit of greed and avariciousness. We appeal to our people to be noble, generous, hospitablc and friendly to all the strangers who are com ing among us. We can afford to be at some pains, and expense, i too, to induce new capital and additional population to seek our county, for without more people and more money in our country i than we now have we are power less to utilize the vast resources which are heaped up around us in such rich profuslon. It will pay our people to lay aside all selfishness and jealousy Tn this matter. If you see a chance to induce capitalists to come to oui county and establish manufacto
 ries don't be jealous if they don't build their shops in your town or on your land, but offer taem all the encouragement and aid you can, let them locate where they may. Our interests are all mu tual and co. extensive with oul county and State, and because one section tion is improving and building up faster than another is no cause for any jealousy or envy to othel sections. Let us all work togeth
 CT honestly, energetically and il good faith, and there is no dan
 ger but what we will all be bene
 fitted and built up and made tC
 prosper.

Improvement.
DOVER, ARK, Mch 10, lS7'

 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 While I sat carelessly retros- pecting the past, meditating upon the many vicissitudes that we American people have passed through during the last decade, my mind was irresistably brought to a contemplation of the future.
 I am led to ask the question 'sHow are we to retrieve our los
 esp That we have lost, in many respects, is quite apparent, and that it behooves us to set our
 selves to work in earnest to re trieve those losses is also appar ent. In the first place, we as [ national political party, might sa, that we have lost our political all which we must, beyond all doubt endeavor to our utmost ability ts redeem, but how we can or mus do this is a question that must bt solved by those who are mucl
 wiser than myself; but, l, in m, ignorance, will presume to say

ments upon our past political con duct.
 Idid not set out to write on politics, but ln reference to the improvement of Our country.
 There are many ways ill which we as a people can improve our modus operandi.
 The first that I will mention is tue improvement of stock; 1 am glad to say that some of our more prominent citizens are taking con siderable interest in this direction but our people generally are not yet fully awakened to the import ance of this subject. We should not be So willing to stop our eff forts il this direction, simply be- cause i've have a few Berkshire and Pdland China hogs scattered around over the country. We need Some improved breeds of sheep Snd cattle, horses and mules and indeed everything else that can beimproved. We need more improved machinery, both for cultivfting and harvesting, and more tspeclally do we need these and various other Kinds of lmpli- ments made here in our own country.
 I can think ofnothing else that would add as much to our county as good manufacturing estab- lishment centrally located, and started upon a good healthy basis, where we could have our superflu- ous timber converted into wagons, and other vehicles, planters, blows, cultivators, and haryesters and in fact, everything else that we need,
 1 willpresume to say that the time is not very far distant when we will have such an establish ment in our midst, and will all of our couDtrymen who have means to start such a business, keep de ferring the matter until some en- terprising men from the North come and start it aud reap the profits of converting our raw ma terial into the recessaries of lifef
 If none of our citizens will take I hold, then we say come on who may, we as a people are ready to assist with our patronage.

 SATURDAY, MARCH PATH.

We entreat the citizens of our county, especially the more prom inent ones, and all those who pre- fess to have any public spirit about them to remember that on Saturday, March 24th, there is to be an important meeting at Rus sellville, and we urge a full at tendance on that day. Come, and let us infuse life and aruour in this matter which will show that we are in earnest and mean to have our country developed and improved. Pluck and ener- gy tells in all things, and there is no danger but that it will tell in this matter. We are confident in the highest degree that if our people will wake up and do their duty during the next four years there will be a wonderful out 'come Tn our country.
 Come to the meeting, gentle men, on the 24th inst, and let's commence the work.

The above are head lines under which the New York Herald of Sunday March 4th. gave a column and a half of reading matter, de- tailing the way and feeling with which Mir. Hayes inauguration was received in the various large cities of the United States. Onr purpose in alluding to them is simply to show that there is a feeling of distrust, uneasiness and apprehension throughout the country, atthe manner in which Mir. Hayes got the office. l he existence of such a feeling will be a drawback to the vigorous prosperity of the country, and will also detract much from the success of M.. Hayes administra-
 
 tion, unless it is allayed at the very outstart. Mir. Hayes is the only maa who can allay this un- easy feeling and restore that healthful confidence and feeling oi security which is necesfaiy to give the country season of prosperi- ty and vigorous growth during his administration. If MT. Hayes will adopt and carry out the pledg- es he made to give the whole country a good government, te make us all feel that we are common people having equal rights, and to assure us of the South that we are to be allowed to manage our own affairs without the tyrannical federal interference which Grant kept up during his term, all of this feeling ofdistrust will be allayed. The first stel necessary is for Mir. Hayes to set tie the matter emphatically that the South shall be let severely alone. As first step let him al once recognize Hampton anc Nichols.
The Russellville Democrat., 1877-03-15
MIR. HAYES FIRST DUTY.

The first duty which confronts Mir. Hayes, and one which he has no right to ignore or attempt to postpone, is to give his prompt and emphatic recognition to the Hampton government m south Carolina, and the Nichols govern ment.in Louisiana. MT. Hayes has said a good deal about his intended fairness toward the South, about the inessimable blessings of a peaceable, local, self government, and about his desire to see once more a united country, all enjoying equal and full rights. If Mir. Hayes is sin eere in his declarations he must now prove it by placing South Carolina and Louisiana upon equal footing with other States. He must call off the usurping pre- tenders who are endeavoring to gain control of those States over the men whom the people have chosen. It is Mr. Hayes sworn duty to act in this matter at once, and for him to stand off in feaI of disturbing the statu quo which his predecessor left, IS q great dereliction of duty on his part His acton in this matter will be taken as a test of the manner ot administration which may be ex pected of him. If he yields tC the wishes of his partisan advis CTS to sustain the carpet bag gov ernments in Louisiana and Soutf Carolina, he will Joe regarded a: a weak tool for the worst men ii his party. We shall see how much stability he has about hin very soon.

 REDUCTION OF TAXES.


 REDUCTION OF TAXES.

This reduction app plies to the taxes of 1876, so that all who have paid the } mills tax are entitled to rebate of four mills. Taxpayers will see from a perusal of the law, what steps will be necessary for them to take to get the portion remitted refunded to them.
