Editor Enquirer-Sun:—Thinking an
account of tbi. plao. and Ua annonadinga
would be of aom. lateral to your many
readers, 1 bare taken tb. liberty of wrl.
: ting yon a abort sketob.
Passengers for tb. Hot Bpringe Inn
itbe train at MalT*rn, a ttation on tbo
airo * Fulton Bailroad, and proc.ed in
Dtagea to the and of their journey. Twen-
r.fonr miles of ataging over aa ordinary
'fcoad is bad enough ; but through such a
'Country as lies between Melvera and Hot
Springs is barrowing to one's feelings.
They nay rheumatism is cured by the
ride, ofteuer than by tbo waters; this t
will not deny, as one is jolted in the stage
from one side to the other, top to bot
tom, and if the pains are not shaken out,
it is no fault of the road. Spring and
summer the roads are oonxidsred in good
condition; double teams sra often neces
sary, and at times it is impossible to make
the trip in less than ton or twelvs hours.
Draysge on artioles, daring the good sea-
eon, is ohsrged at the rata of 85 cents for
100 pounds, and 94 00 for 100 pounds in
' winter or bad season. The country is
. thinly eottled, and the aettlais as am to be
of the “poor white trash" order. Aa the
ride was half in the night, the patseagers
became alarmed lets some “Dick Turpin”
or other “Knight of the Road” would halt
ns with, “your money or you life.”
The lonely road, sa lt led in some deep
defile of the mountains, or through the
, thick, gloomy forest, had such aa unolvil-
iaed look, as would justify our wildest
Imaginations. Feus and doubt, ware
, quieted by the driver assuring that the
-bobbers would not bother tea. This quiet
sarcasm at our poverty-stricken appear
ance entirely sabdued the perty. We
ifpre shown (when within five miles of
Wot Springs) the place where five men
Chopped'the stages, made the passengers
out and stand in line to be gone
ugh." Two of the gang did the
k, while three aat on their horaes with
guns, threatening to ahoot any who
ired resistance. Nine unfortunates de-
up $3,600, besides their watches,
Ac. Although sometime haspaased-
a it eats have been made, it being an
matter to ride to the Territories. An
iterpriaing druggist has marked the spot
a sign, giving an aooount of the iooi-
it, with the date, and that he has the
•st and cheapest drugs in the market.
We pass a few straggling honaaa, all
with the sign, “Boarding,” on the gates,
when we eoias to the graveyard, whloh ia
the beginning of the town, although the
end of the inhabitants. Oroaaiog tba
small creek, whioh roue through the val
ley, we oorne to the main and only street.
The town is over a mile in length, situat
ed In a valley which runs north and south,
between two spun of the Oaark mourn
tains. The houses are entirely of wood;
in style, range from a log eabin to a three-
story barn, and are built principally on
tha east side of the valley. Of the hotels,
the Hot Springs heads the list, ia the best
famished, and otters • the beat accommo
dations, although not a first-class by any
means.
Every room in this town is intended to
hold from two to fou persons, it being
impossible to get a single-bed room wtth-
m out paying double prioe.
'■jy Major Smyths, oaehier of the Hot
Springs Hotel, has placed me under many
obligations, and the guests will find him
willing to do all in his power for their
comfort. Visitors with exchange on the
larger cities oan have the same cashed by
the Major. The Grand Central and Bee-
; tor House follow next in order, and so on
down to Fifteenth Amendment hotels.
Prices vary from $80 to $60 per month,
and for the amount charged the accom
modations should be better. lee ia t lux
ury which one has to furnish if they de
sire cold water. Thia ia just the plaoe
for sn ioe machine. The following ia the
tariff: Single pound, 10 to 15 cents;
three pounds for 25 cents, and to regular
customers and bar-rooms at 5 cents per
pound. Lust week the supply ran short,
and ioe could not be had for love or
money. Oar darkey swore nntil he was
blaok that we were all down with tha
fever,; but tha same answer was re-
tared*’‘Tia siok, too; to can’t let yon
baveeny."
The United States Hotel is reported to
bewupag the best, at whioh an extra in-
danaasht is offered the inooming gneets;
hat of this I cannot speak knowingly, and
wfUkaive to refer yon to several railroad
djRHsIs sojourning ken at
^ ■
Board and lodging can be had with al
most every family in the valley. Their
rates are less than the hotels, and fare
about the same.
The population ia estimated at one
thousand—being composed of shop-keep
ers, hotel and boarding-house people, aud
bathmen. The town has more than ita
full quota of gamblers. A tew days after
arriving I reoeived the following;

There being no law to atop gambling,
it ia oarried on openly. Faro, rondo,
rouge et noir, English hazards, mustang,
roulette and all aorta of banking games
are constantly played, sometimes on the
ground floor, with open doors and no at
tempt at ooncealment. Poker is the gurno
played principally at the hotels.
The visitors number, on an average
about one thousand, and hail from every
part of the globe—the States and Terri
tories of this Union being nobly repre
sented. Disease, in all its hideous forms,
is here displayed. Bbeumatio patients
oan be seen here hobbling to their baths
in any numbers; some go in okaira, and
one poor eripple was wheeled to and fro
lying in a barrow, it being impossible
for bim to sit ereot.
When an invalid arrives, the first thing
in order is to consult a physioian to ascer
tain the traatment necessary for the oasc.
Stimulants of all kinds are positively for
bidden while under treatment. The mer
its and demerits of each physioian are
freely discussed, aud one can hear the
game doctor praised and blamed almost in
the same breath.
Folly sixty per cent, of the visitors who
resort to these waters are afflicted with
syphilis in some of its various forms.
The balance como for rhenmatism, paral
ysis, skin diseases, and general debility.
Many ladies find their complexion im
proved by bathing in and drinking the
hot water; the waters of the Arsenio
Spring being used by them more than all
the others. Tha hot water relieves the
thirst much sooner then oold, and strange
to any, never nauseates, and oan be drank
in large quantities
The dootora reap a rich harvest -, some
are laying np colossal fortunes, while oth
ers are barely making a living. The Med-
ioal Society has plaoed the fees at $25 for
the first, and $20 for etch succeeding
month. Drs. Brooks, Lawrence, Oarnett,
Hobson and Creichton, from what I can
learn, have the largest number of patients
and are the leading men. Dr. A. Brooks
is a fine physoian, and stands now the first
on the liet. It is bard to tell who comes
second. Dr. Oarnett, the author of a
“Treatise on the Hot Springs of Arkan
sas,” is making for himself a reputation
■eooud to none,’snd bids fair to become
the leader. Dr. Oarnett was a surgeon in
the old United States Navy, but at the
breaking out of the war, he resigned his
position to serve nnder the Confederate
flag. He was on board of the “Merrimao’
part of hia time.
The bath-houses are greeted iu a neat
and substantial manner on the west side
of Hot Springs Mountain, from whioh all
of the hot water flows. In the rear of
these houses are large tanks to hold the
hot fluid oonveyed from near the Bumtnit
of the mountain by means of wooden
troughs, that look like eo many single-
traok railways running in different direc
tions. A substance resembling sandstone
is deposited in these troughs by the
water, and if not taken out will fill the
troughs in from two to three years. The
baths are supplied from the tanka, and
the temperature reduced by the use of
oold water to suit the condition of the
bather—93 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit be
ing the heat they are generally taken at,
although some take them as high as 120
degrees. The Rector bath-house is con
sidered the best; but, in my estimations
there is very little, if any, difference.
Negroes are always on hand to attend
your wants and keep the towels, blankets,
Ao., in order. For this, one is expected
to pay $1 per week. Bath tiokets vary
in prioe—$10, $7 and $5 a coarse of
twenty-one baths—according to tha bath
house. No one should bathe or go iu the
vapor without their heart and lungs are
in a good healthy condition. Three per
sons have died in the last few weeks
from injudicious use of the waters. The
springs number between fifty and sixty,
and are of different degrees of tempera
ture-ranging, respectively, from 90 to
166 degrees Fahrenheit. Most come un
der the bend of iron springs, but magne
sia, alum and arsenio are all represented.
The discharge ia estimated at 300 gallons
per minute. If all the waters were con
oeatrated, it would supply 15,000 persons
daily with baths.
The pools on the side of the mountain,
known aa “Bat Holes, Corn and Mud
Baths,” are supplied by tmall springs,
which rise near, and art made available
for bathing by being tempered down with
water from a oold spring on the same
mountain. These pools are used by a
class of persons who live on the hill-sides
iu tents and huts, and cannot afford to
pay. Many, Senator Morton among the
number, bathe there through ehoioe, be
lieving them to be more effloaoious.
All these various springs form the creek
that runs through the valley. Into thia
sluggish creek the filth and alopa of all
the houses, boarding places, hotels, sa
loons, Ao., along its entire line are east.
The odor that arises, at times, it abso
lutely nauseating. To keep down this
smell and cleanse it, a good rain is need
ed et least once n week. Why the inhab
itants do not build a sewer in the bed of
the stream I cannot aooount for; it would
not only relieve the town of a nuisance,
bnt improve the general health of tha
plaoe. Many and loud are the oomplalnts
at times, but as “everybody's business ia
nobody’s business," this ueoeesary piece
of work is left undone.
Three miles to the north is a fine, bold
“Chalybeate spring, ” whioh is unimproved,
yet visitors walk and rida to it to drink
the water. Eight miles in the opposite
direction is the “Sulphur spring." It is,
however, muoh more strongly impregnat
ed with potash. To these the Hot Spring
patients are sent to recuperate from the
effects of the hot^baths and sweats.
Twelre miles irStheast an the “Soda
Springs,” known as the “Mountain Val
ley.” For dropsy and gravel or Bright’s
disease, they are said to be infallible.
Among the notables visiting at present
the Hot Springs, are Senators Clayton
and Dorsey, of Arkansas, McCreary, of
Kentuoky, and Morton, of Indiana, be
sides a host of smaller fry. Lieutenant-
Governor Hubbard, of Texas, left a few
days sines. Dan. Voorheea, the “Tall
Sicamore,” is expected in a few days.
Quite a number of ladies oome here to
improve their looks and the town seema
to be alive with them at present. The
“Brass Band” is an institution and tune
up every Friday evening. Two Italian
bands make this plaoe their headquarters,
playing in front of the hotels every eve
ning and at the “hops” when we have
them.
Who own them is still a mooted ques
tion. Wm. H. Gains, John O. Hale aud
H. M. Doctor claim the valley of the
government. Theseolaimnntahavemadea
temporary division of the lands (200
arpents) among themselves, to abide the
settlement of the titles; Gaines taking
the southern, Hale the oentre and Sector
the northern part. The northern aud
southern portions are the beat improved,
as lisle demands $5 per foot over the
othem; Osins and Sector leas
ing the land for two or three
years at $10 per front foot per annum.
Houses are going up, bat they are of n
cheap class. I have heard some talk of
it, aud believe every arrangement has
been made to build a $50,000 hotel, to in
clude the fieotor House and the gronnd
immediately in front of it. The people
are all anxious for the Government to take
charge of the property, so that permanent
and substantial improvements may be
made. No one hee an idea that the claim
ants wish the thing settled, and I have
heard some talk of bribery going on, in
official circles. The trial oomes off this
year before the Court of Claims ; the de
feated party will oarry the oase to the Su
preme Court of the United States for a
final settlement.
leu thousand or more peraons visited
here the lest season ; fully twenty thou
sand are expeoted the next. A railroad
survey from Malvern to Hot Springs has
just been oomplotod. It ia asserted that
before another twelve-month rolls round
the whistle of the locomotive will be
heard in this valley. President Allen, of
the Cairo A Fulton Bailroad, ia the one,
so I bear, who expeots to push the thing
to completion.
There is no town organization of any
kind. The only offloial of the pleee is a
Deputy Sheriff.
By the way of veriety there is occasion
ally a little pistol praotiea on the street,
bnt considering the class of men here and
the mixed population, the town is very or
derly, as we have had no shooting for n
week, or robberies for n month or more,
the piece is getting unbearable.
The “geminen ob color” ore quite nu
merous, are employed ns barbers, hotel
waiters, attendants at the bath-honses,
Ac. They hail mostly from Mississippi
and Tennessee, but several are from Geor
gia and Alabama, The weather for two
weeks past, with tha exception of to-dey,
has been exceedingly warm, tha thermom
eter showing as high as 104, and in some
places 106 degrees Fahrenheit in the
shade. To-day we had a fine rain, ac
companied with hail, and at night we
have to sleep under blankets.
Crystal mountain ia about twenty-five
miles distant; fine epeoimens of crystal
are brought to this market, and extrava
gant prices are asked and often obtained.
The Arkansas hone and whetstone, and
Oaacinta oilstone are found within a mile
and a half of the springs, Lsrge quanti
ties have been shipped annually, aud the
demand is increasing. Messrs. Bernes A
Ley have a mill, where they dress and
prepare the stone for use. European
manufactures prefer this to any other
they can get, for fineness of grit and tree-
uess from flews. This stone is sold at
the quary, in the rough, at $1 50 to $3 50
per 100 pounds. Oold, silver, iron, oop-
per, lead, and various other minerals are
found within short distances.
The Georgia delegation are all in fine
spirits, especially the railroad offleials.
Your paper ia eagerly looked for and rad.
With beBt regards and wishes, I am

CONTINUATION OF NBBf-HlDlNO.
AH Abut Dutton and His Change
of ParpMC.
New Yoax, August 19.—Tbo following
ia published hero this morning ae the
facta of the alleged attempted compro
mise of the Tiiton-Beeoher com, of whioh
mention was made lest week:
On his return to Brooklyn, Mr. Moul
ton, under the provocation of being re
ferred to aa a blaokmailer, did prepare a
long statement whioh wee designed to
crush Mr. Beecher. It was composed
mainly of hia own reoollection of the
various events of the scandal; his own
assertions that Mr. Beecher and Hn. Til
ton haA made oonfeaaioaa of adultery to
him, bnt unsupported by any doenmante
other than those which he subsequently
submitted to tha Committee, and one
other, whioh hia been described by Mr.
Beeoher'e lawyers as manufactured. He
simply corroborates Tilton's by hia un
supported word, when he prepared this
statement.
Mr. Moulton denounced Mr. Beecher
to the correspondent of the Uhioago
Tribune, who next day telegraphed his
statements to his paper, where they were
published on Monday, August 10th, the
very day on which Mr. Moulton submitted
hia short statement containing none of
the gravest allusions. Mr. Kingsley had
wrought this sudden change in Moulton's
purpose during the Sunday whioh inter
vened between his talk with the Chicago
Tribune correspondent, and his informal
talk with the committee. Mr. Kingsley
met at Moulton's house, on Sunday, Au
gust 9th, Mr. Moulton himself, his father,
Franklin Woodruff aud two or three oth
er persons,
Mr. Kingsly communicated to the as
sembled friends of Moulton, that the let
ter's own safety was at stake. It was
finally decided that Monlton should not
attaok Beeoher or oonfirm Tilton further
then by submission of the papers called
for.
Oeneral Butler read the long statement
the aame night, and adviaed ita suppres
sion for future use.
As a consequence of Kingsley's infor
mation and Oeneral Butler's advice, Mr.
Monlton changed his statement, bnt for
got to alter the Chioago correspondent’s
letter.
Mr. Kingsley’s only suggestion of pay-1
ing money to Mr. Tilton was a remark
made publicly by him in a restaurant—to
the effeot that Tilton need not want for
money; he could have $5,000 if be
needed.
WHAT TBS COMMITTEE WILL DO.
New Yobk, August 19.—The Sub-Com-
mittoe of the Investigating Committee,
consisting of Messrs. Bags, Winslow and
Cleaveland, held a meeting for purposes
of consultation aa to how the report
should be drawn np. It was decided that
the Committee prepare a draft of a re
port to Mr. Winslow to be submitted to
the other two members of the Committee
for review. They, in turn, will submit it
to the original Committee of Six, who
will make any alteration whioh should be
ncoessary, and then hand it over to the
Examining Committee of Plymouth
Church, who will report on the succeed
ing Friday night at a business meeting of
the Church.
THBODOSX DENIES BLACKMAIL AMD BRAINS
ROOKS A. FBTOB.
Tilton told an Eagle reporter to-day that
he never blackmailed anybody, never rs-
oeived, direotly or indireotly, n single cent
from Beecher. He added that on the
morning before Moulton presented his
statement to the Beeoher committee, C.
Kingsley offered him $10,000 wlthont im
posing any condition. Mr. Beam, private
eeoretary of Mr. Kingsley, informed the
reportor of the same paper that Kingsley
had told Tilton that he would willingly
contribute $5,000 to help the Utter, and
bring this disgraceful business to an end.
The Argue reporU that Boger A. Fryor
has been retained as oounael for Theodore
Tilton in bis coming suit.

BEPOBTED SPAIN CEDES PORTO HICO TO

TO XMrOBCX MUNBOS DOOTBIHB.
Washington, August 19.—The article
from the Freeman u Journal, to the
effect that the Spanish Government, in
return for scouring the recognition of
the Bepublio by tho European powers,
has agreed to cede the ',Ialand of Porto
Bioo to Oenuany occasions comment in
all quarters, but there is no source here
at present from which to obtain offloial
information concerning the subject,
either confirmatory or oontradiotory of
the startling announcement.
It is known, however, that a report ex
isted a year or more ago that Germany
was seeking to obtain possession of a
Spanish West India island, and thoagh
the report, whioh was oonfined only to a
email official circle, wea regarded ae in-
volving serious consequences, it was soon
apparently forgotten.
All that can now be said with oertainty
is, that the Exeoative Department of onr
Oovemment is not inattentive to this
matter, and that both Caleb Cashing, at
Madrid, and J. Banoroft, Davis, at Berlin,
have this subject on their memoranda of
instructions, and will notfail at the proper
time to report to those governments tl-e
position of the Administration, as hereto
