Tn 1S68-9-70 the old indebtedness was funded, and bonds issued, in- cluding principal and interest. That on some of these bonds the in terest amounted to largely more than the principal. It is now asked that this indebtedness again be funded, including accrued interest on this principal and interest, up to January 1st, 1878: thus second time com pounding interest. Such proceed ing, either in private or public, must result, inevitably, in bankruptcy. But, to our astonishment, the propo- sition is submitted through our Finance Board, not only to thus compound second time, but to issue in excess of even this amount, made up of principal and twice com pounded interest, new six per cent. bonds to the amount of $220,649! !! They however, in excuse for the issue of this excess claim that the State receives back a greater amount in the first three years by reason of the fact that the new bonds are to bear but two per cent. the second year and four per cent. the third year! We have not sufficient flnan cial ability to be able to satisfy our selves ot the wisdom of this plan, because the $22O,649 is to bear six per cent. interest for twenty-seven years, after having borne two, three and four per cent. for the first three years! The remitted interest can, in no sense be loan, as no benefit is derived. We are simply paying ?, and per cent. for three years, and six per cent. for twentyseven years on $22O,649 that the people do not owe, nor is it pretended that they owe it. Is this wlse, equitable or just? Who is to receive this excess of $22O,649? The creditors do not, for we do not owe it, as is admitted by the Board.

astonishingly low, viz: Two dol lars a year, the postage prepaid by the publisher. The prices to clubs are cheaper still (postage also pre-. paid), viz: Three copies for $4.S0, with superb Mczzotint (21 inches by 26) "The Angels of Christmas" the finest and costliest ever offered, to the person getting up the club; or six copies for $9.60 (postage pre- paid and both an extra copy and the premium engraving to the per- son getting up the club. For large clubs the prices are even lower. Specimens of the Magazine are sent, gratis, if written for, to those wish ing to get up clubs. Now is the time to subscribe for 1878. Address CHARLES J.

The Finance Board.

From the Van Buren Argus.l
 The extended statement made by the State Board of Finance, and originally published in the Little Rock Gazette on the 8tl, inst, is now fully before the people of the State. We would have been glad if the facts and figures contained in this statement had been laid before the people simultaneously with the conditional acceptance of the Adams and Redtield proposition. Had this been done, there would have been no controversy as to the actual amount of our indebtedness. While we are thankful for the information contain ed in the tables given us by the Board, we would have been much better satisfied if the statement had been confined to facts of this charac- ter, and had not been made--as it is -an earnest argument in favor oi proposition that is seriously oppos- ed by a majority of the taxpayers of the State. 1.-the argumentative DOT ton of the statement had been used by an advocate of the scaling plan, in an address to either house of the General Assembly, urging the adop- ton of the plan, it would have been exceedingly appropriate. The Fi- nance Board, however, being agents of the taxpayers of Arkansas, it occurs to us that it would have been better for them to have laid the plan before their principals in simple, short and concise manner, leaving them perfectly free to accept or re feet, upon statement of facts, alone, unaccompanied by argument and words of earnest solicitation. There is but one point in the statement to which we direct attention at this time. It will be borne in mind that

Agree, for the law is costly. Truth is simple, requiring neither study nor art.
 Curiosity about triflcs is a mark of a little mind.
 The great end of good education is to form reasonable man.
 No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
 The follies of youth become the vices of manhood and disgrace of old age.
 No wonder that egotists find the world so ugly. They only see thsm- selves in it.
 The world may make a man unfor- tunate, but not miserly; that is from himself.

 NEW ORLEANS, LA,
 October 22d, 1877. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 DEAR SIR:-We take pleasure in handing you the last, on the subject of side pieces, from our Cotton Ex- change, which we send with our compliments, knowing that it is matter in which your subscribers are considerably interested. The mat ter now stands as it did before the National Cotton Exchange took any action iE the matter. Yours truly,
 McGEHEE, SNowpEN VIoLETT. NEW ORLEANS CoTToN EXCHANGE,
 New Orleans, October 20, 77.( ALLOWANCE FOR SIDE-PIEcEs REsCIN-
 DED.
 At meeting of the Board of Di- rectors held this day, the following preamble and resolutions were unan- imously adopted, viz:
 Inasmuch as the late action of this Board concerning an allowance, to buyers of lbs. per Bale where side pieces form part of the covering for Cotton, was partly influenced by the assertion that there existed law oi Congress permitting their non-nse, as was set forth in positive terms at the late session of the National Cot ton Exchange of America, and
 Inasmuch as the law requiring the thorough covering of all Cotton shipped on Passenger Steamers, has not been changed, but the require ment of the use of side pieces on all such cotton remains in full force, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That until Congress shall have withdrawn the present le- gal requirements of side pieces, this Board does not feel called upon, in opposition to the wishes of the great body of those who ship Cotton by river, to force npon members of this exchange the observance of it's rule of September 9th, relating to side pieces and that the said rule relating to side pieces be, and the same is hereby revoked, and is no longer binding upon members of this Ex- change.
 Resolved, That this Board deny that their former action in relation to side pieces, was in any manner, unjust to sellers or producers sf Cot ton, or solely in the interests of buy CTS. That in their opinion it was just and equitable to all parties.
 By order of the Board of Directors.

From tho New Orleans Times, July lg1
The suburb Of JEFFERSON was excited Tuesday
night Society was shaken to It's foundation, whilo
all the urchins fariy yelled with enthusiasts delight
The cause, 1t appears was tho announcement that
a. nine p. NJ. a green Magazine street, Shaky
Bill and Rafting Tom--two youths of that section
would meet in battle array to settle. according tho
ruos OF the prize ring quarrel which had existed for
many days, and which had grown bitter that was
determined by common consent that nothing short OF
y lgnt could bring the matter 10 u 1nal issue
THE RENDEZVOUS
Accordingly at the appointed hour the prncipals,
cach nccompunei by delegation OF friends and Rd
mircrs, repaired 10 the battle ground ana amid
conragng shouts, such as slug him, Tom" Bus!
"Break his jaw, Bin, ana similar kindly suggestions
the combatsnis leaped INTO he arena TO speak, and
began 10 strip to the bui as per true prize ring re-
quircmcnts At this time tho spectators gathered at
tho ring sido numbered two or three hundred, ana
included not only boys aud girls, but men and
had come us pleasant invitstion 10 break
tho mono'ony OF a summers dullness, and
thcrc they were, eagerly and excitedy waiting
for the sport to begin; tor mind you, tho promised
treat was too delicious to permit the ius,ncs hu
crowd scnncls had bcen stationed TO give due warn
ing Of The approach of pocers, and In Short every
preparation necessary to nrst class fight had boen
made.
DOPING A SHIRT.
Meanwhile pale Luna illumned the scene ana tho
fighters wee engaged In removing their shirts Bill
was but fifteen ana somehow he couldn't manage his
shirt with tho sdroitncss manifested by Tom Cwho,
numbering eighteen years, was naturally a better
shirt slingerl Tom, having accordingly shuckcd his
shirt first, asked Bin ''where he'd have IT,
and Bill. just IN the act of slipping his
tormenling shirt over his head said, ''Auywhcrc,"
not thinking tho noble Thomas would strike before
time was called But the noble Thomas had notion
oi waiting lar ti,ns and so he let William "haye II"
right there ana then, and to such purpose that William
stragbtway stopped cursiug hts shirt for the pure
minded purpose OF bowling at hts loe and cry ing oud
to the gods that he wonld have sweet revenge n
trico the miserable shirt was of, and then like tho
goaded tiger or the bearded lion, William sprang upon
his rival Win a well directed clip the left
he sopt Tho Aforesaid rival 30 grass and then no pro.
cecdcd TO sit down upon him, 10 step all him and
to pound him all over.
VICTORY ON THE RIGHT SIDE
All this time the crowd VI observers fniry danced
with JOY They hadn't seen such pretty hgh. since
webioo.ed Sal whipped tho bcar-cyed milkman, and
SO It ID lair suppose that the fun they had
alter thcy had obtained tho fullest kind measure
Alter Billy had hammered Tom about fvo minutes
that worthy cried enough and yelled for the police
Then Bill let him up; tho baltic was over, and the
vanquishcd sinking away IN disgrace, LETT the VICTOR
