 From whiskey, tobacco anu beer the government has collected in the past year revenue of one hundred million dollars, which seems to indicate that the people have not stinted themselves as to their apleasant vices' on account of hard times or because of anxie. tv over the difficult constitutional problems. The sixty-two million five hundred thousand gallons oi spirit distilled from grain ana molasses and the nine million barrels of beer on which the greater part of this sax was col lected is a very extensive tipple even for forsy billions of pco- pie. This little Niagara of ex- hilerating fluids would supply about eight gallons for each voter. From people who have smoked, chewed and stuffed thirty-nine million dollars into the national Treasury what miracles of patrl- otic devotion may we not expects IN. Y. Herald.

The Compromise.

Little Rock Gazette: There has never been question, ill the his tory of the American people, so carefully scrutinized in all its bearings and relations, as the plan brought forward by the con ference committees on counting the electoral vote. In the first place the announcement that plan had been agreed upon by the committees, fell with startling ef- feet upon the public mind; for so wide was the gulf which separated the parties, so irrecohcllable seemed the differences, that there was but feeble hope of harmoni- ous action.
 But now that a simple method of eliminating all difficulties in the entertainment of disputed
 vote has been found, the enemies of the plan are bending all their energies to demonstrate 1t defects, while its friends are zealously en- gagged in defending it's censtitu, tionally as we'll as it's justice and equity. The enemies of the measure aver that it creates a tribunal unknown to the theory of our government-that 1t is ex- tra constitutional. But when we consider the import of that clause in the constitution giving congress the right to carry into eff
 feet, by any needful legislation, all the objects and purposes for which that instrument was fram ed. we shall see that this object ion IS not we'll founded. But the question rising far above all ques- tions is: Will such a settlement give peace to the country? Will this tribunal command the res pect and confidence of the Amer ican people? We believe that 1t will! We believe that whatever conclusion may he reached thro' the agency of this commission, will be accepted as authoratiye and final. It may not, indeed, it cannot satisfy those extremists who have insisted that the ascer- tainment of the vote is entirely within the power of the vice pres
 ident, but it will meet the wishes of the men of all parties who de
 sire a full, free and fair investiga- tion of the votes Tn dispute. This is what the democracy have al ways demanded. The men who now put themselves on the record against this measure should re
 member, as Senator Conkling ob- serves, that they are open to the suspicion of reposing more in the power which they wield than in the justice of their cause. Let us have the compromise-and peace.

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
 STATE OF ARKANSAS, LITTLE ROCK, Jan. 22, 1877.


 W. F. Pace, Esq, County Clerk,
 Harrison, Boone county, Ark.
 DEAR SIR-Your letter of - inst. received. Replying thereto beg leave to call the attention of of county and township officers to section four thousand eight hundred and forty (4S40) of Gannt's Digest, which is as fol- lows: "The prosecuting attor- ney shall, without fee or reward, give his opinion to any sheriff. constable, justice of the peace,' or board of supervisors, if requir- ed, on any question of law in any criminal case or other matter in which the state or county is con cerned pending before such court, board or officer. Section 2Sl9 provides that the attorney -gener- al shall without fee or reward, upon request, give his oplnion in writing to the chief magistrate of tue slate aud to the heads of the several executive departments thereof upon any constitutional or other legal question that may concern the official action of sad officers or either of them; and he shall also, upon request, transmit his written opinion to the prose- cutting attorney of any circuit, who may ask it upon any legal question that concerns the finan- cial interest of the state. A large number of letters from county and township officers are received daily at this office, when the same should have been addressed to the prosecuting attorneys. It is discourteous to the prosecuting attorneys to address this office without first presenting the in quiries to them, and in the event they desire the opinion of the attorney general it will be cheer fully given. Hereafter letters addressed to me which should first have been addressed to the prosecuting attorneys, will be re. ferred to them for such action as

COTTON AGAIN!
 THE CHEATHAM fRIUM p H ANT! THE FAMOUS CHEAIHAM CHAM PION PROLIFIC COTT0N!!

This cotton has been planted the past season in all portions of the state, and the truth verified that it is The Best Cotton ever Planted
 in Texas.
 That it is the most prolific, best sta pie, most rapid in growth, and in every way far superior to any cotton known. It has proved in Texas, as it has already done in all other cot ton States, that it will do all ever claimed fer it, and that the past season in Texas it did make at the rate of from
 Two to four bales per Acre on up lands: and l will furnish numbers of good certificates testify ing to the above, to all who will send me their name and address, also circulars with full information. And now again offer these seed for sale, and refer to the cotton itself as to it's merit, and guarantee the seed to be fresh and genuine. And as I propose this season to have no trav- cling agents, but to deal directly with the farmer, allowing them to make the commission heretofore given to agents, we are enabled to put the seed down to the following prices: I 5000 seed, sl.00; one peck $3.OO; one half bushel, $6.00; one bushel, $10.00; five bushel 5000; ten bush el, $75.00.
 And l warn people against buying seed from any agent, for l will have no agents, except to canvass t1r orders. No one will be allowed to handle the seed but myself, and the only place you can get the Cheat hal Cotton Seed, warranted pure ana genuine, and direct from the proprietor, will be from my office in Hou. ton and if you buy from agents pedcling them, you have to risk then. being Cheatham seed. We do this 10 protect both ourselves and the farmer from being imposed npon | by numerous agents who will doubtless flood the country propos- ing to sell the Cheatham Cotton Seeu, and claiming to be author zed agenls of ours. F I ALO IN h TsS A IN U ItSlG !. Any one getting up club to 'ake five bushel of seed. and sending me $40.j0 cash, l will send hin 1]a busDel extra: or for club to iake ten bushel with $75 cash, l will send the getter up one bushel extra. Our terms as before will be cash and in order to save c. Q. D. express charges, require the cash to accom- pany all orders.
 Money can be sent by post office money order, registered letter or b, express, and the seed will be ship ped by freight or express as direct ed, except the one dollar packages which will send by mail.
 | To Grange Masters or Secretaries who desire to get up clubs in thei Oranges, l will make special ar engagements if they will apply t me. Also to parties desiring t canvas for orders.
 Parties ordering for club mus send the name and address of eacl party, and the amount of seed the take, so l can ship direct to eac one; or If they prefer it, l will shi all the seed together to some reliabl merchant, which will make tn freight lighter.
 Be sure to send me your addres for pamphlets, circulars, &c., an order early, as the supply will | limited.

 DELAYS may be dangerous, but they give time for the people to make their will.
 TIE tide is setting strongly against Chandler. Pass the bill for counting the electoral vote, and he is swamped.

 TURKEY should now call con ference of the Asiatic powers and advise the Czar to institute re- forms in his domains.
 TIME and the advance of hon esty have made an end of Bout we'll Now it remains for Hi nois to let Logan come down by the run.
 IF Packard had had whiskey ring at his disposal, he might have had stronger claim upon the support that proceeds from Wash ington.
 LOOK at as you may, the joint committees suspension bridge is much safer and more commodious mechanical construction than Mir. Chandler s tomferry.
 LoGAN's greatest act was his last. His compulsory withdrawal from the Senate committee on the electoral count will leave a sweet savor in the nostrils of his countrymen.
 THAT inaugural address which MT. Wheeler says that MT. Hayes has written should be given to the public in the form of an open letter to the Louisiana returning board.
 FRED. DOUGLASS says that after Tilden's inauguration the Devil twill come in great wrath" It is quite probable that the old man will be very angry, and so will all the rest of the Radicals.
 IT is hard, but Mrs. Logan will be forced to withdraw her candi- date. Her electioneering days are over for the present. We hope hereafter to wish her better success in a better cause.
 IT is true that the Democrats have a large popular majority and a fair electoral majority; but the Republicans have the Aministra- tion and the present possession of power, and thus there is a great deal to be said on both sides.
 TIE Washington correspondent of the New York Herald is ''ena. bled to say positively that the president will sign the bill for the electoral count as soon as it is passed, and that he does not mean to delay the measure a moment.
 --EX Gov. CHAMBERLAIN O. South Carolina is sad to have had bank account in New York during his late administration running up into the hundreds O thousands. He is bigger mar on a smaller salary than old Seco Robeson.

The Russellville Democrat., 1877-02-01
Public Printing.

We called attention in the Ga zette of Saturday to the bill in troduced by Mir. Gotham, Of Drew providing that all delinquent tax lists shall be published in the newspapers. It may be said that this law will inure to the benefit of the newspapers; but it will re suit in not less good to the pub lie at large. There is no good sense in posting written legal notices on trees, barns, black smith shops and stores, where they are seldom read. People in this age look for such things in the newspapers. Nor will any well-informed man say that mon- ey spent in the publication of legal notices is spent in vain. Be sides it's immediate advantages to the public, it assists in main taining these papers which have struggled with hardships and poverty while nobly vindicating the rights of the people. It mat ters little, pecuniarily, to the Ga zette whether this bill becomes a law or not, but it will do much to assist in the support of the country press besides giving a full equivalent to the people for the expense incurred. Whatever tends to make the press of the state more efficient, in leeiti- mate way, tends to the advance ment of the people. There are many other legal notices besides those contemplated in MT. Co tham's bill which should be pub 1 lished, such as trustees and sher- | ifs sales, warning orders, estray notices and others, and we hope that the legislature may so di- rect. If the state is too poor to give such information, guarding the rights of her citizens, through the press, sine is too poor to sup. port her public institutions and free schools and might just as
 well shut up the shop. There is no retrenchment aLd reform ir
 with holding information iron
 the people.--Gazette.
