LANDSIN POPE co. sUBJIsCT
 TO DONATION. M


 Last week VIC. informed our reafl- ers that we wonld endeavor to pro cure and publish list of the lands in Pope county subject to donation and sale. we at once addressed a letter to Land Commissioner Lear, making application for the list. We append below the answer to our ap- plication, which shows that the pub lie has, in Land Commissioner Lear, an attentive, prompt and efficient public servant who manifests com mendable zeal in subserving the public interests under hls charge. We will publish the land list ss soon as we receive it, and it will be a val uable list to our readers:
 OFFICE CoMafR STATE LANDS,
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, May s, 1S79.| Col. J. k. BATTENFfELD.--
 Dear Sir-T will gladly furnish you with a list of the lands Tn Pope county which appear on the records of this office as being subject to sale and donation.ed Such a publication will be of vast benefit to.your coun- ty people. ca ss eaw
 have undertaken to let the peo. pie in every county know what lands appear forfeited for non-pay- ment of taxes, in order that errors may be corrected and more of the lands disposed of.
 I shall be very thankful for your valuable assistance Tn carrying out this object. A great deal of land stands forfeited on the records here the owners of which are entirely ig- norant of the fact, and in many in : stances they hold receipts for taxes paid for the very years the forfeit ures were taken. Of course 1 can not know this, consequently am con tinuously selling and donating lands to parties who will eventually lose them, and at the same time those donation deeds throw clouds over the titles of lands on which the taxes have been enormously return ed delinquent; in each case the own CTS are subjected to trouble and ex- pense in recovering their lands. This kind of thing has been going on too long and must be checked ; you cannot do your citizens better deed than to publish the list, which I will send you as soon as Ican find time to do so. D. W. LEAR,
 Commissioner.

and influence they possess to protect fthe colorhd race against iall dangers, in respect to fair expression of their will at the polls, which they apbrehend may result from fraud, in l tinidation or bull dozing on the tpart oft the whites; and, as thelr can I be no liberty of action without free
 dom of thought, they demand that all elections shalt be fair and free, and that no repress1ve measures shall be employed by the colored people to 1 deprive their own race, in part, oftho fullest freedom in tue exercise of the right of citizenship.
 Resolved, That the unrestricted credit system prevailing in the States here represented, based upon liens or mortgages on stock or crops to be grown in the future, followed by short crops, has provoked distrnst, created unrest, disturbed their entire labor ing population. All laws authoriz. ling leins on crops for advances con Fstituted of articles other than those of prime necessity at moderate prof. l it's. whether such advances are made I by landlords, planters or merchants, should be discontinued or repealed. Resolved, That this convention call upon the colored people here present to contradict the false reports circulated among and impressed up. on the more ignorant and credulous; to instruct them that no lands, mules, nor smoney await them in Kansas or elsewhere without labor or price, and
 report to the civil authorities all per sons engaged in disseminating such reports.
 Resolved, That it is the constltu- tional right of the colored people to emigrate where they please, and to whatever state they may select for their residence, but this convention urges them to proceed in their move ments toward emigration as reason able humans, by providing in ad- vance, by economy and effective labor, means for their transportation and settlement, and to sustain their reputation for honesty and fair deal ing, by preserving intact, until com pletion, their contracts for labor leas- ing which they have made already. When they have done this all ob- stacles to their departure will be re- moved, and all the practicable asss- tance possible will be afforded them, and their place supplied with other contented labor.
 Your committee believe that if the views, expressed in the foregoing resolutions are practically carried out by the people of both races Tn good faith, the disquet of our peo- pie will subside. We appeal to the people of both races in the states here represented, to aid us in carry ing these resolutions into effect; to report to the authorities all viola tions flaw and all interferences with private righs.

then-if there was any want of nerve and pluck" exhibited--the mistake was made and the want oi pluck.and nerve was exhibited not by fMr. Tilden, who was in the hands of his party, but by the party itself, through It's leaders in Congress.
 Mir. Tilden could have secured his seat in the Presidential chair only by open revolution, violence and bloodshed--if at all. It is exceed. idgly doubtful if a resort to such means could have been successful, for all the odds were against us. The army and navy were at the command of our opponents. They had control Of all the departments of the govern msut, and would have used all these to sustain the rule of the republican party. Under the circumstances did It not show patriotism and statesmanship of the very highest order, and of far greater value to the country, than all the bulldog lrluck and nerve that was ever attributed to Grant himself, for MT. Tilden to quietly and selfsacrificingly desist from seizing himself of the title to the office to which he knew he was elected, rather than plunge the coun- try into revolution and disastrous commotion by a forcible attempt, more liable to fail than to succeed to possess himself of the office? Mr Tilden showed no cowardice. He simply yielded to the action taken by his party in Congress, believing no doubt, that if the party could af- ford to bide It's time for the sake oI peace, he could not afford to disturb that peace by raising Q row for his own personal aggrandisement.
 The Democratic party, it is true owes Mir. Tilden nothing. It is not so impoverished in great men that il has to depend upon that eminent man, or any other one man, for its choice at two consecutive elections But the party DOES owe ITSELF some thing. It owes itself a full, complete and unquestionable vindication How can it vIndicate itself so com. pletely as to do the thing over again in 1880 which it did in 1S762
 From the warmth of the Appeals opposition to MT. Tilden's ne-nomi nation we are constrained to believe it's assertion that the "prejudices' against him are bitter and unrelent ing, but we by no means believe it's prophecy that should he be the can didate in 1880, defeat would be Tn eyitable.

 KENTUCKY DEMOCRACY.
Sound Principles Enunciated.

The Democracy of Kentucky in convention assembled have just adopted the following platform of principles:
 The democracy of Kentucky Tn convention assembled, reaffirm their attachment to the constitution of the United States, and the union of the States, as the best guarantee for the liberties of the people their prosper ity and happiness. They rejoice in the fact that it is in their power to recognize that all the states are re- stored to their political autonomy. They hereby record their solemn protest that a popular verdict at the polls has been reversed by the action of al electoral commission, and they declare that while in the interest of peace that result was acquiesced in, yet it shall not be held as a prece- dent for future violations of right and justice. Though thus deprived of the control of the executive power in the administration of the fedaral government. they congratulate the people of the country at large that the popular will expressed at the polls has secured the supremacy of a democratlc majority in both houses of congress. In further Expression of our views,
 Resolved, That we have viewed with intense interest the issne be- tween the. congress of the United States and the president, and con templated with unfeigned anxiety and Condemnation the unprecedent Ted attitude assumed by the execu- tive in his message rejecting the sup plies rendered by the people for the support sof their army,s upon the wholesome condition that no military force should be used at their cleo tions. n ma se aamas Resolved, That we heartily indorse the position taken by our Senators and representatives in congress, in coupling with the appropriation bills, now pending, demand for the re- dress of grievances by the repeal of the existing laws which locate the presence .af soldiers at the polls, the continuance of the test oath as con dition for jury service, and the em- ployment of supervisors and deputy marshals to, control elections.
 Resolved, That in this great issue be tween the people and a partisan exc cutive, we have implicit confidence in our senators and representatives, and indorsing their action up,to the pres ent, hereby assure them of our hear ty support in whatever action they may maintain in the fundamental principle that the military power shall be kept subordinate to the civil, and that elections shall be free from executive interference. "'e.s@
 Resolved, That we approve the action of the general assembly in sub hitting the question of calling q convention for the purpose of form ing state constitution, and we here by call to the favorable considera- ton of the democratic voters of the state.
 Resolved, That we approve the measures heretofore adopted to ere ate general and efficient system of common school education, and pledge tho democratic party to take such steps as, from tune to time, experience may demonstrate to be wise, to so perfect the system as to furnish every chlld in the state the means of fair English education.

NOT so STRANGE, AFTER
 ALL.

las Some of the acts of the last gener. al assembly are loudly condemned by the State papers. It is strange, but nevertheless true, that the acts cons demned by the papers were pending for some time before passage, yet not a single paper raised It's voice against their passage, or pointed out the so
 called evil to follow theIr enactment. Why is it that these editorial wise acres waited until these acts became laws, and the legislature adjourned to set up howl2 That is the ques- tion the people ask. The State pa pers were daily posted as to the do- ings of the legislature and if these laws complained of are so terribly outrageous as they represent, it was their duty to raise a warning voice in time to have been heard As they did not do so, decency and good taste should dictate to them to cease their bowling.
 l The above is from the Fayetteville Democrat, whose editor, our esteem ed friend, Mir. k. B. Moore, was a member of the last legislature. What we now want to ask our esteemed contemporary, is this: How were the State papers daily posted as to the doings oi the legislature2 And how conld we, who are now eondemnlng some of it's acts, raise our voices against them, and point out the "so- called" evils, when we knew nothing of the provisions of the acts pending 1t is true the Little Rock dailies pre- tended to give the proceedings, and gulled the members into taking ten copies daily for each member, AT THE DEAR PEOPLES. EXPENSE, under the false pretense of keeping the people posted as to the doings of their law makers. l .1seaue L.reW
 But what did these daily reports as given in the Little Rock papers amount to? They simply gave the numbers of bills introduced, referred, passed, etc., without enlightening the reader the least particle as to the provisions of the measures thus re- ferred to. Some of the most obiec- tionable acts we never knew the pro
 visions of until after they were pass ed and approved by the Governor. The act doing away with the publi- cation tax lists, Is one act in point, and we don't believe that our Fay etteyille contemporary himself, knew the provisions of that act, although he was member of the house.
 A free and enlightened press will exercise it's right to condemn the wrong, and it is hardly worth while, Brother Moore, to cut up about it.

IMMIGRATION NOTES.

There is no mistake about it. there has set in healthy tide of i'm migration to Western Arkansas; and all that is necessary to convince any one of the fact that the valley from Little Rock to Fort Smith will in a very few years be a scene of the most pleasing and active life, is to take trip up our road (the L. R. & F. S. and see the wonderful change that has taken place. It will pay any one who delights in beholding the prosperity of his State to make a trip over the road.
 AS an indication of what is going on along the line of the road we make the following clippings from the Spirit of Arkansas: fe-r v!ss The French colony at Morrilton, is great success. Father Strub has the matter under,,his immediate jur- isdiction and anyone who goes there is well pleased.
 Italian colonization along the line of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railway, is progressing, and this notwithstanding no particular efforts for this class of immigration has been made by the railway.
 A new German Catholic colony under the aupices of the Order oi of the Very Precious Blood, has selected 2000 acres ofland, near Al tus, In Franklin county, and have already bought and paid cash for a considerable portion of it. Germans can certainly be suited in Arkan, sas now.
 Commercial travellers says that they can sell more goods and get thelr pay more promptly from mer- chants up the line of the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railway than from any other section of the count ry. This is not to be wondered at when one sees the wonderful i'm proyements that are going on up that road.
 The German Lutherans, who were visiting the Cum Land plantation and other portions of the state, VT the view of starting colony, decided, upon viewing the m over, and to settle in SebG Franklin counties.

STORY OF A SKELETON.

The following from the Logan O.. Enterprise may enable the friends o: the unfortunate subject of the sketch to obtain clue to the fate of long lost, and evidently sadly mistreated old man: .
 SUGAR GROVE, Ark, April IS, '79. Dear Enterprise: Perhaps some of your numerous readers would be in terested with short sketch of very remarkable circumstance that occur red in this valley.
 In the summer of 1872 a man by the name of James Baker came to Miles Ladd's in rather a destitute condition. It was quite apparent that his mlnd was somewhat dement, ed. He represented that he was from the State of Kentucky, and that Bowling Green was formerly his tra- ding point; that he was once a man of fine property, but after his slaves were freed and finding himself grow ing old and feeble, he concluded to divide his land and other property among his children and live the re- mainder of his days with them. He said that as soon as they obtained full control of his property he seemed to suddenly grow burthensome to them, and that they mistreated him. He made up his mind to leave them and go where they never more would hear | from him, and so put Tn appearance as above stated. Mir. Ladd was a kind hearted farmer and after hear ing Mir. Bakers story, took him in and treated him as kindly as he would have treated his own father, so that in few months the old mans mind seemed perfectly res tored. f~ H-re8 aheei esatF
 Everything went smoothly until about the lst of October, 1876. He was takeh sick, and got pretty low, but finally become conyalescent and was able to go about little. From all appearances, he contemplated a trip oE somewhere, yet he manag- ed so well that he was gone two days before anyone suspicioned his departure. He slipped out his hes and piece by piece carried to Col. Hunts under the pro- of getting Mrs, Hunt to fix
