Oyertasking the Energies.

It is not advisable for any of us tt overtask our energies, corporeal or mental, but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this salutary rule. It must be a matter of great importance to all who do so to know how they can regain the vigor so recklessly expend- ed. The remedy is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is procurabIe in every city, town and settlement in America, and it compensates for drain ot bodily or mental energy more effectually than any invigOrant ever prescribed or ad- vertised. Laboring men, athletes, stu dents, journalists, lawyers, clergyman, physicians, all bear testimony to its wOndronsly renOvating powers. It in- creases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the injurious effects upon the system of exposure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or weary ing avocations, or an insalubrious cli- mate, and is prime alternative, diuretlc and blood depurent.

 The only way to repair the old Court Hease at Dover so as to make it safe and secure against further damage by storm, is to tear dowa the old crazy, tottering walls to the ground and build them up plumb and straight from the very fouDda- tion. To do this will cost more than it would to take new, clean brick and build a new house at once, for no mechanic will take old brick and clean the mortar from them and lay them as cheap as he will work clean new brick. Are the people willing to incur this expense and pay tax for this purpose, when they can get 
 a nice, substantial court house given to the county as free gift by voting the removal to Russellville2 That is the question which will be determ- ined by the vote of the people on the 2d day of next month. Let all un- derstand what they are doing. If you vote against change, you vote to repair the old house and tax the people to do it, If you vote for change to Russellvills you vote to ac- cept the house offered FIFE by that town and to have no tax for Court l house.

 NOT HEARD FROM.

No one has yet shown where the law is requiring property at Dover to be paid for when the County Seat is removed from there to some other place.
 The Attorney Generals opinion which we published last week, de claring that there is no law now in force requiring such payment, is not so strong as it might have been. All such laws were repealed long before the act of March ?, 1875, to which he refers. The law requiring pay. ment in such cases was repealed be. fore the act of 1873, by which the County Seat was removed from Dover to Russellville, and of course before the act of 1874 repeating the act of 1873. If our readers will get the act of 1874 and read it they will see that there is nothing in it referr- ing in any manner whatever to the question of payment for property at the old County Seat.
 We ask then the meaning or sense of this opinion circulated among the people9 To say the least that can be said, is there any justice or fair ness in it? How and where that SO. called opinion was born is now we'll known, although the author or au' thors of it do not dare to father it openly and attempt to show the grounds upon which it is based, as we have repeatedly challenged them to do.

ANOTHER OBJECTION
 KNOCKED COLD.

Two weeks ago we published the law of March 2d, 1875 under which the election on the County seat ques- tion has been ordered. In the same issue we called attention to the fact that Sec. II of that law had been re- pealed by subsequent action of the Legislature. We understand that there are yet parties who say that the election was not legally ordered because it was not ordered as provi- ded in Sec. II of the Act of March 2d, 1875, which provided that the County Coart for ordering the cleo tion sLeald be constituted the same as ;s is for the levying of taxes. For tne information of those parties we subjoin the net of a subsequent ses- sion of the legislature repeating the said Sec. II:
 ACT NO. TX.
 An Act to Repeal section Eleven Of an Act en-
 titled "An Act to provide for the locating and
 Changing of County seats," approved March Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the
 State of Arkansas:
 Skc. II. That Section (1l) Eleven of an act entitled "An Act to provide for the locating and changing of County Seats,' approved March ?, 1875, De and the same is hereby repealed, and that this act shall take effect from and after its passage.
 Approved Feb. 20. 1877.
 The effect of this act was to leave it altogether within the power and jurisdiction of the County Judge alone at any regular term of the County Court to receive the petition and take action upon it.
 We assure the people of Pope Co.,, that every step which has been taken in procuring the ordering of the cleo tion, has been strictly according to law, and if the majority of tho people of the county want the county seat moved, all they have to do is to go the polls on the 2d day of Sept, and vote "For Change" and "For Russell vile" If a majority vote thus the change will be made Tn accordance with law.

A WOLF IN SHEETS CLOTH
 ING.

Quite a sensational breeze was caused by the appearance last Thurs day morning, of handbills posted up in all conspicuous places and liberal ly distributed about town, announc- ing 8 "Mass Convention of the Inde- pendent Laboring Men of Pope County" The pretended object is "The organization O: an Indepen- dent Laboring Mans party, to be composed of citizens irrespective of past political opinions or affiliations who will now work to free our coun- try from ring-rule, from any and all parties, and assist in defeating any and all political parties which seek to keep alive the passions and preju- dices engendered by the late civil war, and assist ,n elcvating to their true position in Government affairs the Laboring Men of the Country" The Convention, it is announced, will meet next Saturday and will adopt a platform of principles, and nominate a full set of County and Township officers, and Senator for this Senatorial District.
 This all sounds very fine, but we say Watch! Watch the men who go into this thing. It is Q Wolf in Sheep's clothing, and portends no good to the Country or the Laboring Man. It is Republican connection gotten up to create q split in the Democratic ranks and we caution all Democrats against the deception.
 The Democratic Party is the La boring Mans true friend. It's high est aim and mission::now is to redress the wrongs and amend the evils which the last seventeen years of Republican rule has brought down like a crushing avalanche upon the laboring men and the industries of the country.
 Everywhere, all over the country, the Democratic Party is barring it's arm for this struggle, and if Labor ing men wish to cast the weight of their influence where it will do most good to the toiling masses, they should rally to the Democratic stan dard. The Democratic party is or ganized; it is mighty, and has al- ready the control of one branch of our National Legislature. At the next meeting of Congress it will also have control of the Senate. Why, therefore. turn from this party and seek relief from a bantling, amalga- nation faction of thrown-overboard discontents, without influence or standfng Tn any Ipareyf II the Re publicans of Pope County wish to put out ticket, it is certainly their undisputed right Co do so, and we should have none the less respect for them for doing so;-indeed, we would like to see them once again rally their forces just to give us a chance to show them how badly we can beat them; but we say spot the men, who, pretending. to be demo crats, go into this movement. If they desire to renounce their ale gience to the Democratic party, they have right to go into this new

 KEEP OFF ALL UNNECESSA.
 RY TAXES.
 The truth, although often unpal- atable, must be faced. We often turn our gaze away from troubles which, although we know we have them to meet, we would evade as long as possible. This is not good policy generally speaking, for we often have the battle half won when we make up our minds to meet troubles and fight them squarely.
 These thoughts are suggested in view of the near approach of the time for levying our county taxes for the year 1878. In October the County Court meets to make the annual appropriations and levy the taxes. We are in favor of just as light taxes as possible for this year. Our reason is this: the wheat crop of our county was almost an entire failure this year. Many failed to make seed. Instead of having wheat to ship this year we will have to ship flour from St. Louis. We will make an abundant crop of corn, true; but the failure of the wheat crop leaves the people at least $50, 900 less money this year than they had last. This makes a vast differ ence, and it will be felt more sensi- ply at tax paying time than at any other time. But you ask what can we common voters do to keep taxes of of us. We will tell you how you can keep at least a portion of the tax Off. It is this way: Pope county is now without a Court house. The County Court which meets in Octo- Der to levy taxes, will have this ques- tiou before them. The Court is composed of the County Judge and two Justices from each township in the county. A majority Of these rule. It js certain that a majority of them will be in favor of repairing the old Court house, for a majority of them can be controlled for that place. If they make an order to repair it they will have to make an appropriation and put special tax levy on the tax-books for that pur- pose. This will add something like $2OO0 to the taxes to be collected in January next. The tax payers of the county can thwart this move ment and escape the tax in but one way. One way they have, and if they do not use it, it..is their own fault. The people of Russcllvllle and vicinity have offered $250O in good and lawful money of the United States to build Court house at Rus sellville if the people will vote the County Seat here. They have a bond filed in the County Clerks office for the payment of this sum by the first of January next. The cleo tion on the County Seat question comes of on the '2d day of Septem- Der. By voting for the change to RusselIville at that election the mat ter will be entirely removed beyond the power of the County Court to make an order in October for the repairing of the old house. Thus the tax will be escaped and the county receive as free gift hand some Court house. We ask tax payers to take these facts and con- slider them. They are facts which we defy any man to controvert. The man who works and votes against change" works for higher tax. The man who works and votes for change and for Russeilville, works to keep the tax of. Take your choice.
