pecially with the delinquent portion of it. Where the business of the principal officer is onerous it necessI- tates the employment of large number of subordinates, inconsistent with the successful discharge of the duties pertaining to the office sS'tetSstcil ed. It is the experience which has caused the separation of the two of fees in the older States, and it has proved to be measure of economy. The bill of Mir. Rogers does not go to that extent, but Tn principle 1t is the same, as far as the delinquents are concerned. Those who vounta- rily pay their taxes, pay them to the collector. Il all pay, there is no need of a commissioner. Those who do not pay their personal taxes will have special commissioner appoint ed to collect them, either in the usu- al way with costs added, or by dis traint. This commissioner is charg ed with but single duty, and is armed with all the necessary power to discharge it. The remedy pro posed is sure preventive of all such schemes as were devised and prac. ticed by the Sheriff of Pulaski coun- ty to secure re election to the great detriment of property holders and political morals. The office of com missioner being appeintive, he acts oh ism or fraud of the collector. The mere fact that a remedy of a drastic character exists outside of that con ferred upon the collector will both stimulate him to do his whole duty and the tax payers to do theirs. Dis traint IS a harsh remedy, and has heretofore been rarely exercised by those who hold an elective office, in comparison with which the collec- tion of the revenues Is secondary and mere appendage under the law, although the more responsible and important of the two. The bur den of supporting the commissioner falls upon the delinquents them selves in the increased costs which follow default, and this fact will have tendency to cause tax payers "to strain point rather than be re- ported delinquent.
 No better law can be devised. It is more economic than to separate the two offices. It is only when there are delinquents that the Coun- ty Judge appoints commissioners. We call the earnest attention of the coming legislature to this bill, and ask that consideration which the lm- portance of the subject demands. The experience of Mr. Rogers in revenue matters. gives great weight to the proposed remedy, which can not be evaded.

The Saloons Must Go. Van Buren Arrus. 18th.

In the County Court, the whole of last week was taken up, in the con sideration of the petition, under the "Three Mile" law, praying that no license for the sale of liquor within three miles of the Presbyterian church, in this city, be granted. Able counsel appeared on both sides, Hon. Jesse Turner, Judge B. j.. Brown and Gen. H. F. Thomson for the Temperance folks and Huckle- berry & Stanwood and Berkeley Neal, Esq, for the other side. The case was stubbornly contested inch by inch and no stone was left un- turned by either side. The ladies who had the petition in charge were constant attendants and watched the proceedings with intense inter est. On Saturday afternoon the case closed and Judge Matlock rem dered a decision, in favor of the pc titioners, that hereafter no license for the sale of liquor within the pre- scribed limits should be granted. This closes the saloons of our city af- ter the 1st of January next and Van Buren will be added to the list of prohibition towns. As to the effect this state of things will have upon the future of our growing city, there IS great difference of opinion Some argue that it will kill the town others think it unfortunate at this particular time-at the crisis, they say, of our fate as prosperous city while on the other hand, there seems to be preponderance of opinion and argument that great benefits will ac crue from prohibition. It is an ex pertinent, at best, and time alone car tell the result.
 The ladies who have had this mat ter in charge were earnest and untir ing in their labors and to their ef forts, alone, is due the success whicl the cause of temperance has met and let the result be what it may no man, be he for or against prohl bition, can censure them for thei zeal in this matter. Women, th' purest and best of Gods creatures are ever found on the side of human ity and morality, and if there is { class af people on the face of thu earth who should be more zealou' than another in the temperance, 1t i' certainly the women-for upon then falls the heaviest burden of evll growing out of intemperance.

The Matter of Salaries.
Ft. Smith Independent.


 Quite n number of state papers are discussing the proprlety of in creasing the Salaries of both county and state officers in Arkansas. The question is at once an important is- sue with the people-the taxpayers, and will doubtless receive the atten ton of our next legislature. We agree with many of our contempora- ries that Tn some instances the sala- ries of our officers are wholly made uuate to certain kind of official as we'll as private extravaganza. We are willing, however, to concede the laborer worthy of his hire; but we remember, too, that retrenchment and reform have given the democrat ic party the ascendency in Arkansas, and one of the greatest reforms was the reduction of extravagant salaries paid officers out of adepleted and inn poverished state treasury. There are instances of record in the past his- tory of the state where the exorbi- tant salary of an official was suffi- cient to enable him to afford clerk hire to perform all the labor required of him in the discharge of his official duty, while there was enough of the salary to support the head of the de. partment in aristocratic idleness and sumptuous living. The increase of salaries does not always secure the most competent officials for the req son above assigned. It IS not inn possible for an incompetent person to secnre official position and then re- ly upon competent clerks or private secretaries which the amount of his salary will amply justify to perform the work of the office.
 We feel proud to assert the fact that our state and county officers un- der democratic rule are not required to contribute to campaign funds out of the salaries they receive. They hold their offices by virtue of indi- vidual worth of merit, and their ten ure of office is not measured by the extent of their liberality in contrib uting funds to carry elections in this or any other state.
 But to return to the subject mat ter: The salary question will nc doubt be urged as an important meas ure to be considered by our next gen eral assembly; and so far as oul opinion is concerned, we are more than willing to see the salaries O both county and state officers in creased, if our state finances will jus tify the advance. But if the revenue derived by direct taxation is no deemed sufficient to warrant this de sired increase, it is the patriotic du ty of the legislature to let the salar ies remain as they are. We reall, think a reform is needed in matter affecting the taxpayers as we'll a those affecting the office-holder; ant we can't see how taxes are to be re duced If salaries are to be increased

Hagen correspondent of the Des Arc Appeal: Ducks are numerous on the Prairie. Mir. Ed Wood shot into drove day before yesterday and killed 20 at one double shoot.- MessrsJ. w Gales and - Boatman killed about two hundred in four days. They sell at $3 per dozen.
 Fort Smith Elevator, 17th: Mas ters Jimmie Brizzolara. Jerry Cra- vens, son of W. NJ. Cravens, and Nal. Hendry, son of J. R. A. Hen dry, got on their ponies Monday and concluded to go to Texas and be COW boys. They struck out through the Choctaw Nation, but the first night in camp without any cover cooled their ardor for the COW busi- hess and they returned home on Tuesday, not, however, until their parents had been worried considera- bly, in searching for the missing ju- veniles. Their camp fire went out and being afraid to skirmish for wood with which to replenish it, they spent very unpleasant night
 The Gazette, of the 18th, glves the following particulars of the killing of the notorious Tanner brothers of Lost Prairie, below Fulton on Red river: Mot very long ago these brothers and Mir. Hervey had a lawsuit in regard to the possession of piece of land, which was claimed by Charles Hervey, brother of John Hervey, of Hope, one of Arkansas best citizens. At the trial the Tan ners lost, and the property was awarded to Hervey. The Tanners, however, were bent on bloody re- venge, and so, when a day or two since, they saw Hervey at Lost Prai- rie, they determined to take his life. He was unarmed and fled to store, going afterwards to the cabin of negro short distance of. Here he found double -barrelled shotgun, and as his enemies came charging up to the door he warned them away. They persisted and broke down the door. Hervey shot the first one in the face killing him instantly. The elder brother then rushed at him with knife, but he sent load of buckshut into his abdomen, which proved fatal one hour or two later. Hervey at once gave himself up, but has ere this no doubt been acquiL- ted"

Rogers Remedy tor Collecting the Delinquent Personal
 PrOperty Tax.

Col NJ. L. Bell. one of the best lawyers in the State, expresses him self as follows in reference to the proposed remedy for collecting de- linquent personal property tax, in a recent issue of the Pine Bluff Press Eagle:
 The bill prepared by R. H. Rog. CTS, Esq, of this city, and published in several papers of the State, pro viding for the collection of delinquent taxes on personal property, will, if it becomes q law, afford complete remedy agalnst that class Of tax dodgers. The present law confers sufficient power upon the sheriff and ex oificio collector of taxes, but ex perlence has proved that the ordina " duties of the chef executive off cer of county are incompatible witt the collection of the revenue, and es

dauohters, her credits taking rank and prominence in the markets, and her manufacturing and material in terests attracting the attention of capitalists and investors thlrtst.gioit the entire saIIiun-the south hnds herself in position to consider the important question of immigration; and to offer Inducements to lmml- grants that can be presented by no other territories.
 The most intelligent of our people have long anticipated this period in our history, and all of the southern states have signified willingness to advance and foster the cause Of i'm migration within her own borders. Wise governors and statesmen, well knowing that when their fertile southern acres shall have settled up- on them an intelligent and energetic farming class, and the present sys- tcm of labor shall have met it's re- formation from this source, the era of prosperity, delayed but not des- paired of, will dawn upon the land, and the south take the place she is so eminently fitted to occupy, among the foremost in the agricultural, nm era and manufacturing world.
 It is great mistake to regard this section as wild, uninhabited terri tory The southern people are re- fined and educated, and in many in- stances possessed of great wealth. No country is more generally peo- pied with brave, sympathetic and hospitable inhabitants. The immi- grant will not lack for congcnial so- ciety, for schools, for churches and market facilities; nor will he have to dispute his possessions with the wild animal or the wilder Indian. Nature and intelligence have com bined to make the south the finest spot in our country for the immi- grant. And tour of inspection among her ore beds, her grand for ests. and her great water powers, will convince the capitalist that she offers to him an equally inviting tield.-Ex.

The Natural Wealth of Arkan-
Memphis Appeal.

Investigation proves that our neighbor, Arkansas, is state richly endowed by nature. Her soil is un rivaled, no finer cotton is produced than grown in her fields, the wild grass on her prairies is sufficiently valuable to be mown, baled and packed for sale far away. This fact gives intimation that Arkansas will one day be as famous for it's cattle and horses as for cereals and cotton. No more delicious beet is to be had to day than that of cattle which have had no other nutriment than the veg etation of the Arkansas prairie or of the unfailing ca2e of the woods. In medical springs, also, Arkansas IS taking high rank. Her Hot Springs are famous even in Europe. Among the Ozark hills and other localities are fountains whose virtues, as they come to be known, will be no less celebrated. A writer in the Chicago Mining Journal, who has given some attention to the mineral productions | of the state in its western portion says that he has examined coal, man ganese and iron in three or foul counties lying on the Arkansas river and he is satisfied that pig-iron cad be produced there at a cost of Sl0 tC SIP a ton. In Johnson county, ht says, there are three strata of semi anthracite coal, and brown hematits ores in deposits running two tt twenty feet in thickness, which woulc cost probably fifty cents ton tC quarry. Plenty of oak and harC pine grow there to produce fine char coal, and when taat fails pure car bon can be uncovered on the hill sides. Near Fort Smith bituminou coal has been discovered that is fv' feet nine inches in thickness. II other localities there are veins O coal seven to nine feet thick that with only seven to nine feet of strip pins, will produce excellent coke The coal gives eighty y-two per cen of carbon. Two tons of the iron or will make ton of pig iron. Wha is especially worth attention is tha mineral lands, within accessible dis tance of rail or water carriage, ca

THE editor of the Morrillton Head light pays the following tribute to the memory of Thos. Nj. Boswell, who died at Morrillton last Saturday
 He was cut down in the bouy. ancy ot youth with the promise of long life before him. His death was a shock to every one. Although he had been sick for some time no one thought death would so soon over take him. He was young man oi good impulses, noble bearing and of good department; hence was esteem ed by all who knew him. He was a printer by trade, and the editor of this paper having started him in the trade and had him in his employ for some time at Batesville, knows his worth.
 About an hour before his death he made profession of religion and died with hopes of a blissful immor- tality beyond the grave, source of great consolation to his parents.
 The DEMOCRAT unites with Bro. Boswell's legion of friends in tender ing him sympathy in the sad afflic- tion that has befallen him. The de- ceased was the son of Rev. J. w. Boswell, senior editor of the Arkan- sas Methodist.

TIE National Grange, Patrons Of Husbandry, held its sixteenth annual session at Indianapolis last week. Thirty-two states were represented and the report of the Grand Master shows the Order to be in prosper ous condition. Twenty states show an increase, five little variation, and three q decrease. In the year ending October 1, seventy seven new granges were organized in the United States, and fourteen more since then. The Grand Master recommends the or ganization of cooperative stores, nearly one hundred of which are in successful operation in Texas alone.

 With her home matters now regu' lated or provided for, her public schools erected and prospering, hel colleges filled with her sons anC
