.o DEVELOP and BUILD UP on1 state than any other instrumental ty. Capital is attracted hlther by eur appeals and representations. and by the opportunities that are con splcuous for safe investment. Bnt If our state by it's laws denies capi tai the privilege ot regulating itd own enterprises, it will become shy and seek other fields where it can enjoy nntrammeled privileges. II il were interfering with personal libsr' ty or the righ.s ef our people, we would not lift our voice; but when we remember the old stage lines and mud roads, and extra prices incurred by the old expensive wagon trans fers, and think of the convenience VIC now enjoy, our judgement cries ou, in behalf of railroads with their blessings. Leave the field open to competition and the law of supply and demand will regulate this ques. tion of rates.

Denton, super intendent of public instruction, in which he stated that it had been i'm possible for him to get up . full report, on account of the dellnqusn- cies of county examiners. That hs had nssd every endeavor to com plets his report; that the report was now in the hands of the printer and would soon be upon the desks of the members.

 ing Free Passes.

1 A bill to be entitled an act to prohibit the is- 1 suance of free passes by any railroad or trans- l portat,on company to any officer of this state, l acceptance of the same.
 | Be It enacted by the General Assembly of the l State of Arkansas:
 Section l.

And any such of fender shall be forever ineligible to hold any office of honor, trust and profit in this state.

Immigrants continue to arrive by the car load. Tho Little Rock Demo- crat noticing the rush up the Fort Smith road has this to say:
 Three car loads of immigrants went up the Fort Smith road yesterday to find homes along it's line. The dsvsl- epemsnt of the Arkansas river valley for the last five years has been marvel- ous-all brought about by tho Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad. It is safe to say that the officers Of this road have brought moro immigrants to the state within tha period named than any and all other agencies combined.

THE WEAVER BILL.

We understand that 8 bill has or will be introduced by Hon. R. B, Weaver, representative in the Ar kansas legislature, proposing to grant or donate to any company who will undertake to build line sf rail road from some poiat on the Missou- ri line through perhaps Carroll, liar. rison in Boone county, Searcy, Pope, Yell, Hot Springs in Garland, and other counties, to the Louisiana line, all the lands which have been for feited to the state for non payment of taxes lying within the boundaries of the several counties through which it may pass as 60 much of an inducement to compa
 nies and capitalists to engage in the building thereof. Sc far as the county of Pope is interested, through which it is proposed It shall run, we have no hesitancy in saying that we think it would prove vastly benef cial to her; that we believe it would add to her material prosperity and wealth in developing the country and in inducing emigration within her borders. It would build up the ,n...t!h- .th--2 part of the county and give an outlet for the vast xrnfSsS.,ss.. of cot. ton and other produce raised in the interior of the county upon the rich and fertile lands ot Piney, Illinois, Point Remove and other streams which take their rise in the Boston mountains. While our sister coun- ties north of tho Boston slopes would realize incalculable advantages by it's comsumation. It would give us direct communication with the gull and sea board, where our cotton ought to go for . better and more congsnial and Iemunerative market, not only 60 for cotton, but the mill ions of bushels of wheat, corn, and other products of our northwestern tier of counties would have transpor- tation direct to points south, where the demand for them is much greater and their sales more readily effected without competition. Kansas her. self, the great wheat growing state, would turn her wheat across upon this route to the south where it is % much needed, and where the climate is not adapted to it's cultivation, This contemplated road would place us in communication with Spring field. St. Louis, Chicago and other points north, thereby breaking the monopoly of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad and serve as . competing line by giving the people some show tor fair, just and equitable charges in fare and freight upon the roads. We favor the building of railways-the more the better, and the more rapidly will be the improvement to the country.
 We are inclined to believe that if this road is built ar contemplated by the passage of the bill spoken of by the proposed grant of the forfeited lands to company that we would realize a much larger amount of sub stantial good and greater prosperity to the people of the counties through which it would run than her citizens would probably ever realize from the lands by any other disposition of them whatever. We believe that the people of this county would be more than willing the hill shonld pass

We have heard it rumorsd tha, an effort will be made in the lsgisla- turs to take away . portion of the territory of Pope county and add il to an adjoining county for political purposes. We shall oppose the movement for various reasons, chisl among them being that the territory proposed to be Topped off was ac
 squired after great struggle and al the request of the people of that sec tion. To loose it would dstract from our commercial interests, reduce our population, increase our taxes, and culminste in an outrage which we believe the fair minded members of the legislature will refuse to commit.
