REPUTATION or SOUTHERN DEBIs.-senator
Conkling, in his great speech at the New York
Academy Of Music on Friday night Of las, week,
had this to say Of the population Of debts by the
Southern State;
What use Is made Of all this ~ gotten power ?
One Of its chief uses has been the reputation Of
homes, debts. Every Southern State but Texas
has lately repudiated it, obligations. This aggre-
gate reputation of State and municipal debts
amounts TO three hundred million dollars. In IsT2
the debts of Southern States were S2t2 SOC. OOO.-
Now these states recognize and pay interest on
only S5J,yss,9i5. large part even Of this Is un.
paid and funded interest. On twenty millions, in
terest has been scaled down 20 . percent. Whether
the residue Of debts also to be l. now
an open issue.
us there excuse or palliation for this We are
told so. What is IL! II is that 'carpet-bag gov
ernments' contracted these obi cations One din.
Guilty with this excuse. and not the only one, Is
that u Is not true. The anti war debt contracted
before the 'carpet-bagger' ever visited the South
either with knapsack or without Il, was ninety
million dollars. No part Of this debt has been
paid; large part Of i has been repudiated. The
carpet. bag governments paid tho interest on il
regularly. The increase of debts since tho war
was largely for public improvcin but the
most damaging fact for this excuse IL that all the
alleged Illegal issue OF bonds charged upon the car
pet-bag governments put together does not eaual
the sum repudiated by Georgia alone"

Hon. AM. Wilson.

We are in receipt of 8 letter from our old trend, Hon. Alfred M. Will son, of Washington county, in which he states he will be a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination before our next state convention. Col. Wilson is an old citizen-a man of large experience and great ability, and tor more than thirty years has been . prominent lawyer of the northwest. A lifelong democrrt and always active and prominent in pub lie affairs-always true to the state and the people--he has never been candidate for office before the peo- pie of the state. With claims upon the democratic party inferior to none-with active and arduous as we'll as able service in it's cause wholly unrequited, he has been con tent to serve and work in the ranks. With the experience of years, and yet in the prime of life, with talents and energy surpassed by none in the State, if he should be chosen our standard bearer he will lead the par ty to victory and make governor who will give general satisfaction.

Ut is conceded by those best posted in the premises, that Govern or Garcelon and the Executive Coun- cl, have acted in strict conformity with the requirements of law in Name, and no interference on the part of the General government to set aside the result of Gov. Garce- ions action, will be tolerated. The Washington Post says if Mir. Hayes attempts to interfere, he must be impeached.

The Lands Belonging to the Ir- on Mountain and the Ft. Smith Railroad Companies.

on Mountain and the Ft. SmlCn
 Railroad Companies.
 An associated press dispatch was
 published in the Gazette few days since, stating that Senator Morgan, of Alabama. had introduced . bill forfeiting all the Lands granted to railroads that had not complied with the conditions imposed by the acts making the various grauts, and that it would affect, among other com panies, the Iron Mountain and South ern, and the Little Rock and Fort Smith companies.
 Both the Iron Mountain company and the Fort Smith company have not only complied with all the con ditions imposed, but we learn they have the patents for their lands, consequently the statements false, and was probably sent out for the pur- pose of doing these companies and the state an injury; or, perhaps it may have originated Tn the fact that the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad company refused to accept that portion of the grant of lands lying in Missouri, and which conse- quently reverts to the United States government.
 There is no doubt as to the title to the Lands on the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, or to the lands lying in the state Arkansas granted to the Iron Mountain and Southern railroad.-Gazette.

 .How about complications arising from the presence of colored pcoplef "The treaty of 1866 between our nation and the United States provid- cd that all colored people who were slaves at the beginning of the war should be admitted to the rights oi citizenship with the Cherokee na. tion conditionally on their coming to us within six months of their rati. fication of the treaty. The question of their citizenship is getting ts be . very serious one, as a great many did not get to the tribe within the specified perlod. The Indians cb jcct to ceding sIs ether rights than those conveyed by the treaty. There are about 25,00 to 5000 colored, all told, of whom about 300 only are lc gal voters, hold office, participate in annuities, etc."
 "Do your people object u territo rlal government~
 l .None of them favor 8 change in the present form. Patterson's inves tigation proved this statement. Wt have now . republican government with our own executive, legislature and judiciary"
 "What are the reasons of the op position?
 These are based on the grounds that the people prefer to be let alone to work out their own destiny. They don't feel able to compete with the white element that would be intro duced incidentally. The treaty witf the United States grants them the lands in perpetuity with the right tc their own government. This they claim, and are satisfied that they car do . great deal better with institu tions of their own make and admin istration. If the territorial govern ment is introduced the Indian vii be Tn such a minority, politically, al to have no voice ia his own rule"
 "What is the condition of you government"
 "ItS financial condition ls very good. It is founded on money inves ted in Uuited States bonds. So fal as mental and physical progress il concerned, in agriculture and stock raising of all kinds, it is IS good q can be expected"
 "Do you expect to secure youl moneyr
 "The claim is legitimate and hal been acknowledged. Tribes have been settled only recently on tht lands involved, and l suppose as soon as the necessary arrangement. can be made the money will be paid We hope to effect the payment a' Ithis Congress, and feel pretty san guine that we will do SO. Of tho loan we are not so sure. We do not pledge the lands, but only 30 mucf of the proceeds of what is sold t pay it, and are willing to give gooe interest. The security is ample, T, 900, ,OO0acres of land belonging to us We have implicit faith in the United States Government and have no ides after pledging it's word it will bt broken"

THE l.. R. X F. s. RY. LANDS.

The introduction of bill in the present Congress, touching the land grants of certain railroads. has once again raised question as to the va. hdity of the title obtained from the Little Rock and Ft- smith Railroad, to lands sold by it.
 We have no hesitation, whatever, in assuring all persons interested, that the Little Rock and Fort Smith road holds its grant of lands by & tenure as strong, and broad, and se- cure as tbe government itself, and the title given by that Company to all parties purchasing lands from it, is absolutely good and unimpeacha- ble.
 The following communication, which we find in the Little Rock Democrat, shows that the Company's right to the lands is fully recognized by the General Land Office at Wash ington, D. C.:
 UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE, !
 Dardanelle, Ark, Dec. 20,1S79. WM. R. JONES, ESQ, Little Rock, Ark.
 SiR-In answer to yours of recent date relative to the title of lands in the l.. R. & Ft. Smith Ky. l have to inform you that by letter from the Commissioner of the General Land Office to us of recent date, he holds that the said road having com pleted its contract by the building of the same, etc, they are entitled to their lands; and we were instruct ed to allow no more entries upon any of the lands selected by said compa- ny. I regard the title to railroad lands of said company to be good, and would feel as safe Tn purchas- ing their lands as would United States lands. Very Respectfully,
 T. M. GIBSON, Register.

Several small tribes have been settled there, and we have never been paid for the lands, which belong to the Cherokee nation. We are further instructed to procure loan, based on these oc- cupied lands to be met by the first moneys arising from the sale. This loan is for subsistence rendered nee essary by the failure of tho crops
