lhe following calculation, showing the amount ArkaE- would have received under the Land Bill we con dense from the communication of GA Voice from the South"

 The bill provided that each new State should receive ten per cent on the nett proceeds of public lands sold within It's limits from and after the ls day of December, lS32 Nett proceeds in Arkansas from Dec. lst, 1882 to September 3oth 1885, S567 72 91. Ten per cent. on this, 5627 29, would have received besides the grants made admission.

 The share of Arkansas in the nett proceeds of the sales o public lands, up to Sept 30 1885, after deduct ing the ten per cent to the States, calculated s52oo-~which, added the former dividend, would give $l4l,977 29.

 The receipts in the public treasury from land sales in Arkansas, from Sept. Seth, 1885, to this time, low estimate amount to $600,o0o. This would give S6o, 0G0 more.

 The receipts from sales of public lands from all the States since Sept 30 1885, low estimate is near 10 millions ot dollars. Deductng the ten per cent the new States there will at the very least be left eco

 -of which our share would have been S2S, ,4l6 668; that the total amount would have received would have been two hundred and thirty thousand three hum dred and ninety-three dollarsat the very lowest es- mate.

 It was said in Congress that each Congressional Dis trict would receive, annually $s4 074 under the Land Bill.

 Taking then the nett proceeds of land sales in Arkan sas at Sooo 0O0 annually per cenum under the Land bull and under compact of admission would be ninety thousand dollars annuay--whch added to the former sum for the District gives annual income in future of Sli4,oI4 Add that to the already accrued and would have at the expiration of present year the sum o four Hundred and four housond four hundred and sir- ,y-seeea dollars, by that awful Land Bill which Judge :" hite ought to be murdered for voting for.
