 CnAs. COFFIN, Esq. Walnut Ridge
 Ark:
 DEAR SIR-Your letter of the 10th inst, asking my views on what ii known as the Fishback amendment proposed to the constitution of the State of Arkansas is received.
 Some time last summer in letter to you on this and other matters, gave my convictions then that it would be wrong to adopt it. Reflection and study since that time strengthen this conclusion.
 The proposed amendment (Acts of Ark. 1878. p 149.) seeks to proven: any future legislature from providing for the payment of certain bonds therein named, issued under different acts of legislatures heretofore. These bonds are legal and binding or they are not ; if they are legal they evidence con- tracts which under Act l, sec. 10, clause l. of the federal constitution cannot be impaired by any State laws. This prohibition extends to acts of con stitutions as well as to acts of legisla- ton of fstates-organic as we'll as statu- tory laws of states. In other words state constitutions, in whatever way made cannot interfere wirh contracts

IMPRIMIs. Choosc of a healthy family

Let her also be we'll yersed IN pastry.

Too Much LIGHT.-About the
time that Stephenson had demonstrated
in England the merits of railroads, a
cor grcsslonal election occurred in In-
diana. Judge Tesh, one Of tile ablest
men in the State. was a candidate Tor
reelection His vision ranged far be-
yond that OF the people, aud he saw
mu.h more than they. His error was
in telling them all he saw. Ia one OF
his speeches on the stump the judge
introduced railroads, about which the
people knew nothing and cared less.
Il tell YOU. felow-citizens,' he said
at the top Of his voice. that in Eng
land the; run the cars thirty miles an
hour. and they will be iun at higher
speed in America
A loud. scornful laugh from the crowd
greeted tins prophecy. You are crazy
,udge,' bawlcd out an old man, or you
think we are fools. A man couldn't
live a momest at that speed
