RE-DISTRICTING THE STATE FOR CONGRESSIONAL
 PURPOSES.

We see our representative, Mr. McCracken, has introduced a bill In the house to re.district the State for Congressional purposes. We have not seen his bill, nor do we know what changes it proposes, but we suppose it looks to the detachment of Pope and Conway counties from the fourth congressional district, and their addition to the third district.
 We feel warm attachment to the fourth district, but we believe itwould be a better arrangement--better for Pope and Conway counties, and also for the third district-for these two counties to be attached to the third district. It would do the fourth dis trict no harm to detach us from that district as it is largely democratic without us, and as we are more com pactly located with counties In the third district we are disposed to think the change would be good one. At least this is the way the matter appears to us at first blush.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-02-13
A BAD VOTE.

When MT. Frazier, of Van Buren County, endeavored last Thursday tc add an amendment to the House Bill to reduce the expenses of the State Goyepment, which amendment was to save the office of State Superin. tendent from being abolished, such amendment was voted down by a vote of 4S to 37. We regret exceed ingly to see that our representative, Mr. McCracken, voted with the ma jority. It is vote which should bring a blush of shame to every members cheek who voted on that side of the question, and we give a full list of the members who voted against the amendment--also those who voted for it. The vote to abol- ish that office is vote agaInst the most sacred interest ofthe masses especially of the common people. It is vote to keep the rising genera tion for year after year in ignorance and illitteracy, and place them in the lower order of society among the ignorant and coarse rabble. It is q vote to keep up two classes of soci- ety-an aristocracy of nch people who can send their children away to pay schools and educate them, and class of illterate dupes who can be led captive at the will of their better informed lordlings of creation.
 It is q vote to bring upon our State the ridicule and contempt of the peo- pie of enlightened views everywhere. 1t is a vote to retard the moral, intel. leetual and material welfare and ad- yancement of the people of Arkansas. It is a vote, at once shameful, hurt ful and discreditable. All honor to the gentlemen who defended the sys. tenn of our common schools by con tending for the preservation of the office of state superintendent of pub. lie instruction. Among the number were, Messrs, Frazier, Fishback, Bar. ry, Murphy, Riddick, Furbush, Dic- kinson, Brown, Dawson.
 Let the names of the members who voted to abolish the office pass ihto history as enemies to the intel.

and loan for one year or two years does not enable us to catch up.
 We trust the present legislature will be able to solve this question III some way which will be for the good of the state, and prevent the contin- ued recurrence of the same problem. We believe some sn,h plan as we have indicated above would furnish the solution.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-02-13

MAcMAHoN has given it up. The Republican tide was too much for him, and he yielded while he had the opportunity. Whether his resignae tion will resultin good to French peo. pie who it is to be hoped, have gained something of conservatism and lots something of communism since the Franco Prussian war, or whether the Ihotheaded and mercurial race is still incapable of self.government for any leugh of time, are questions which the futere must solve. No nation has ever shown more pluck and ener gy in recovering from the desola. tions of war. no people have extricat. edthemselyes from such mountains of debt in So shot 9 time; and if fRepuhs lcan France will but let moderation and wisdom guide her counsels, scarcely limit can Joe set to her power and greatness in the near flu ture.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-02-13


 If man pays no taxes to help sustain the government we do not think lie is entitled to any vote to help shape the government and to make. laws to govern and effect the property of those who do pay taxes. Therefore we are disposed to favor the bill before our legislature to allow no man to vote wko has not paid his poll tax for the year pre- vious. We are opposed, however, to any property qualification to give a man the right to exercise the cleo. tive franchise.
 The supreme court having decid- ed the Levee Bonds and the Rail road Aid Bonds to be null and void, we can see no reason why the legis- lature should hesitate to ratify or ap- prove the facts. As to the Holford Bonds, the State should never pay more than it received with accrued interest after credit for amounts already paid. To refuse to pay, or disown an honest just debt is base repudiation, but to disown a base fraudEis not repudiation. We prefer that Arkansas should remain poor rather than be dishonored, but we do not regard it nceessasy to protect her honor by grinding the people to powder to pay dishonorable and fraudulent claims brough up against the people, for which they have never received dollars beneft.-Indepen- ent Arkansian.
 To the above we have but one word to say, and that is to add there to our hearty Amen.
 If we look to the history of those States which from ideas of false economy gave up State supervision we shall be convinced that Arkansas can never be justified in adding to the folly. Wherever the experiment has been tried it has been a miser. able failuIe.
 There are a hundred ways in which money can be saved to the State by wise legislation, but the proposition to destroy the office of the chief educational officer of the wealth has nothing about it of true retrenchment and reform. It is a most Iuinous and suicidal policy, contrary as we believe to the will of the people and in direct opposition to the best interests of all classes, races, colors and conditions.-L. R. Democrat.
 No department of the government of the state of Arkansas has more to do to-day, with the material interests of the state, than that of public in struction No department has such an influence upon immigration as it has.-Gazette.
 All true as the good gospel itself, and yet we see determination on the part of goodly number of the members of the General Assembly to abolish the office. Is there not a sufficient number of members having intelligence in keeping with the en- lightenment of the 18th century suf- ficient to thwart this move and save the state from the odium which it will bring upon her? If the legisla ture DOES strike thls deadly blow at our common schools we want to hear no more such phrases as "intelligent looking body of men," "collection of men of more than ordinary ability" above the ordinary legislature" &c., &c., applied to them. Rather let them be called-something else.

ligence and enlightenment of the masses; and hereafter when man
 offers himself as a candidate for the legislature look over the list and see if he was among the number, who last Thursday, voted with the ma jority 10 include the office of state superintendent of public instruction, among the positions to be abolished.

 MT. PIndall--I have report, the committee report they cannot agree. To say that committee can be forced to agree, or members forced to subscribe to opinions, is without rule and impossible. The committee reports three different views, and desires them laid before the house as report.

The people are beginning to think that we send too many great men to the legislature, too many orators, who love to talk, and who talk more than they work. It looks as if every member has a bill to introduce which embraces the subject of bills already introduced by every other member, At least the people say it looks thiS way, and we only write what the peo- pie say, because under no considera- tion would we censure those great and good men now assembled at sthe capitol, and who are having such a good time at the rate of six dollars q day.-Prescott Dispatch.
