Act Passed by the twenty
Fourth General Assembly

An act to be entitled "an act to ex-
tend the time for payment of taxes
in the oyernowed districts Of the
state.
Whereas, A large part Of the ter
ritory of the counties of Craighead,
Cross, Poinsett, Mississippi, Critten
den, St. Francis, Monroe, Lee, Phil
lips, Desha and Chicot is now over
flowed from the waters Of the Mis-
sissippi river, in consequence of
which loss has occurred to the inhab-
itants thereof, and by reason Of such
losses and diminished credit, very
many of them are not now able to
pay their taxes for the year eighteen
hundred and eighty-two 1SS2); and,
Whereas, l. is deemed right and
proper that the state should extend
to these people such aid in this mat
ter as lies within her power; there
fore,
BE it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Arkansas.
Section /. That the taxpayers
living within the overflowed portions
of the counties above named be and

time provided by law for the pay

due on real and personal estate, own

and no penalty shall attach for the
non-payment thereof until the taxes
Of eighteen hundred and eighty three

Sec. 2. In order TO ascertain who
are entitled to the benefits of his act,
the collectors of the several counties
above named shall cause each person
desiring to avail himself hereof to
make oaths that his land was in
whole or in part overilowed during
the months Of January, February or
March, eighteen hundred and eighty
three (lSS3), or his personal proper
ty was situated upon land so over
flowed in whole or in part, such affi-
dayit shall be made in triplicate, one
copy to be kept by the collector, one
to be filed in the clerks office of the
county, and one to be forwarded to
the auditor of state, providing no
person living within such territory
shall be entitled to the benefits of
this act who may have paid his said
taxes before the approval hereof, and
no collector shall be required to re-
fund any such taxes SO paid.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its
passage.
Approved April 8, 1888.

ELSEWHERE will be found a copy
Of the law extending the time ofpay-
ment of Taxes in the overnowed dis
tricts of the State. The law is good
for the people who are unable to pay
their taxes; but the reliefis only tenn
porary; next year they will have IA
double tax to pay, and judging from
the past, it is doubtful whether the
people will be better able topay
it then, than now. The intention of
the law was good, but the incompe-
tent solon who drafted it stuck sew
eral weak points in it, No time was
fixed, when persons desiring to avail
themselves OF the benefits Of the law
expires, so that no penalty can attach
until the the taxes of 1883 are col
lected. According to the language
of the law, a tax payer can put OIL
paving or making affidavit until the
taxes of 1888 are due, so that 1t Is
left optional with the Collectors
whether they should settle with
the Auditor or not before the taxes
of 1883 are collected, as they will
not know whom to return delinquent,
or whom not. This being so, the
extra work of taking triple ailida-
Wits, as required by the law would
seem as a useless piece of folly, as
the tax books of 1888 could be made
to show who are delinquent for 1852.

The Legislators who voted for the
bill letting out the public printing to
parties beyond the State have been
severely denounced, and there has
been no paper bold enough to defend
their cause. Men for the sake of
false economy often do wrong, and
infiict injustice upon a worthy class
of people. AS rule editors work
hard and receive meagre compensa-
ton for their services, and printers
have never grown fat in Arkansas.

There is now on exhibition in the
Office of Jacob Frolich, secretary of
state, an excellent oil painting Of the
honored gentleman whose name
heads this article. The picture is
the work of j. NJ. Fortenbury, and
is one of which he may well be
proud; it is good picture and a
good likeness. The portrait is de-
signed to ornament the wall of the
parlor of the state insane asylum as
remembrance of the originals un-
tiring efforts in behalf of that insti-
tuition.
Mr.. McVeigh has represented his
county several times in the general
assembly, has been prominent in
many good moves and won for him
self any amount of praise, but none
of his efforts were better directed
than that, the result of which is to-
day exemplifed in our beautiful
asylum, which will ever be to him a
lasting monument. His insane asy-
lum bill was introduced in the legis-
lature of 1873, passed, and an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for building
and $4,000 for support was made.
After the adjournment of the legis-
laturc, the land now occupied by the
building was bought, but the great
depreciation in state scrip and the
insuliciency of the appropriation,
coupled with the evils attendant up
on the Brooks Baxter war which
broke out at that time, prevented
anything being done, and the appro-
priation was covered back into the
treasury. During the last legisla-
ture the matter was revived, sulli-
cient appropriation made and the
structure erected. To Mr.. McVeigh
is the honor due, and his portrait in
the parlor of the asylum will be some
slight token of appreciation of his
efforts for unfortunate mankind
Little Rock Gazette

session of 1884," instead of " During
the last legislature, the bill was re-
vived," &c, the TINES would proud
" endorse the above entire. That

thing that would reflect credit either
on the state or individuals.

The prospect of peace in Peru is now
bright. Iglesias not only commands the
confidence OF the Gillian Generals, but
has acquired complete ascendancy in the
interior. There are rival governments
and the army OF occupation is still called
upon to suppress frontier revolts, but
Iglesias Is rallying the best elements of
the population about him and is accumu-
lating sufficient influence to enable him to
carry into effect the treaty he has signed.
A new era of peace and progress has not
vet dawned in benighted Peru, but there
is sense Of departing darkness. There
has been partial restoration OF confidence
and naturally the strongest and most san
guine leader of public opinion is receiv
ing popular support.

DAKOTA OUTLAWS.
The Leader Of the Band Captured After
Hot Chase.

BISMARCK, Dakota, June %.
A special from Little Missouri says: For
some time the life of Marquis Demores has
been threatened by Frank O'Donnell, buff
falo hunter who objected to the Merquis' ex-
tensive cattle ranges. O'Donnell is the
leader of a gang of outlaws, and Monday at
three o'clock lot of men commenced to fire
their revolvers into all the buildings around
here. They fired several balls into the hotel.
Tho sheriff Of Morton county was telegraphed
for and arrived today, with posse of citizens
and friends of the marquis. A hot chase
after the outlaws ensued and a fight finally
took place mile from the railroad. Riley
was killed and two other desperadoes, Frank
O'Donnell and a man named Wannagan cap
tured. Threats of lynching and the widest
excitement prevails.
