RADICAL SLANDER.
Our informant states that the conduct of
the rebels at Austin was violent aud dis
gracef ul. The scoundrels took possession
of the polls, and compelled the colored vot
ers, some thirty odd iu number, to vote the
rebel ticket; that these voters acknowledg
ed that they wished to vote the Republican
ticket,but did not dare do so for fear of
their lives. The ex-rebels, the meanest,
pel haps, in the state, drove the messenger
from the p ills, aud, following him several
miles homeward, fired on him with pistols.
The above extract is from the Republi
can, the filthy, scurrilous orgau of the Rad
icals at Little Rock. IVe would not notice
this gross misrepresentation of facts if it
were not that Austin is one of the most
sjuiet places in the state, aud her citizens
amongst the most peacable. Because of
the fact that every vote polled at that pre
cinct was against the Republican's pet
constitution, the necessity exists for this
gruss falsehood There is no manliness, no
honesty, nojtruth iu the above staterueut
The election at that precinct was orderly,
no throats being used, as can be established
by twenty witnesses; the only disturbance
beingau altercation between two negroes.
What docs the Republican expect to gain
for h:s party by such gross misrepresenta
tion as the above? perhaps a new election.
Yes, it must be a new election. If a pre
cinct voted against the constitution, that
was enough to warrant the cry of foul
play; and as the state has gone against the
infamous abortion of Radicalism, the cry
of foul play must be raised, a new election
must be held, and the supremacy of the
Radical party maintained In suggesting
the remedy fur such disturbances, the
same paper says:
Now, then, let these whelps be arrested
forthwith, and taught a lesson they will
remember. That place has the reputation
of being the most thoroughly rebellious
community in this part of the state, and
that the military will not ouly order a now
election at that point, but that it will be
held in such a vigorous and thoroughgo
ing manner that the ex-rebel horde will
be put upon their good behavior hereafter.
What does this mean? why, just this,
that the Republican wants a new election,
upon a basis that will secure a majority for
their pet, that’s all. Again we deitujucc
the statement made by the Republican,
concerning the election at Austin, as false
altogether; a poor whimsy scheme to have
the vote of Caroline township set aside.—
Such tricks will he tried wherever the
least possible clue is given; and we call
upon white men wherever these charges
of fraud in election are made, to come for
ward and denounce them as false, giving
the true statement, and thus thwarting
the evil iuteutious of the Radicals in our
state.
Satirical.
The Radicals of North America are
striving to degrade the white race and
convert this great republic, so-called,
into a South American pandemonium.
Insinuating advocates ol mu tiooiy
loil” persuasion are prying about
everywhere, and at nil public enter
tainments holding forth upon the di
vine glories of the new Congo, late the
United States. Occasionally, these
brazen beasts are brought low and
reduced to the pitiable condition of a
“short-tail bull in fly time.” One ot
these sanctimonious apostles of higher
law and African superiority penetrated
the wilds of New Grenada, and, at a
recent gathering of the people, turned
up as Orator Puff of the occasion. lie
soured with the bird of freedom, and
fanned his imagination with his best
spread pinions. He made the welkin
ring with panegyrics of this “laud ol
the free and home of the brave.” Final
ly, alas, lie expanded beyond the limits
of decorum and expressed the hope
that “ the adoptiou of American institu
tions would place Colombia on a level
with the United States.” When he
had subsided, a thorough reconstruc
ted Colombian rose to reply. His
speech is a perfect geiu in its way, not
only for the dexterity manifested in
leveling a rabid New England Bom
bastes, but as an example of the dis
gusting spectacle the aforesaid great
ltepublic presents even to the livbrid
republics of South America. Quoth
the savcastic Columbian:
“Mr. Presideut: In proposing that
we should adopt North American
institutions, in order that we may rank
among the most civilized nations of
the world, our friend is merely repeat
ing a vulgarism against which 1 do
most solemnly protest. We are repro
bcutcc. as au uncivilized people; but,
sir, if to do what the Aincrcaus have
done is to be civilized, then we are
civilized; if to have done it before
tlicm is to be ahead of them, then we
are at the head of civilization. For
what do the Americans boast of? They
have hut recently abolished slavery ;
we have abolished slavery very long
ago. They have just proclaimed the
equality of rates, and are trying to
hold up the negro ; we have proclaim
ed that equality, and held up the negro
long ago. They have only finished
their first civil war, rendered money
scarce, and made a paper dollar not
worth a dollar. Wo have had dozens
of civil wars; have rendered money
scarce, and mmke paper dollars not
worth a dollar long ago. They are
beginning to tear up their Constita
li ou, impeach their President, set up
dictators; we hare done all that long
ago. They are ut last going to the
devil as fast as they can : we have gone
to the devil long ago.”
This may well be characterized as
the profouudest speech of the age. it
is a scorching und withering rebuke of
the infamies which vile and corrupt'
wretches would elevate iirto-enlighten
ed moralities. It is a brief review,
but graphic, of the broad road that
leads to perdition—that internal turn
pike upon which the great ltepublic is
marching to destruction via Colombia
and other mongrel anarchies. Augusta

In the House, yesterday, a number of

duced and referred.
On motion of Mr. Schenk, the Secre
tary of the Treasury was vailed on for
his reasons for the removal of James B.
Steedman as Collector of Internal Rev
enue for the First District of Louisiana.
The other proceedings were uuiiuport

In the Senate, at one o'clock the Pres

the Chief Justice called the Senate to
order, and the Sergeaut-at-Arnis made
the usual proclamation commanding
-Hence; whereupon the managers ap
peared at the door, and the Sergeant
at-Arms announced "the managers of
the impeachment upon the part of the
House of Representatives;" and the
Chief Justice said: "The managers
will take the seats assigned to them by
the Senate.” Messrs. Bingham and
Boutwell led tlie way up the aisle, aud
took their seats, aud in the meantime
Messrs. Stan berry, Curtis, Wilson, Kv
arts aud tiroesbeck, as counsel lor the
President, entered and seated them
selves at their tables iu the order nam
ed, Mr. Stanberry occupying the ex
treme right. The Sergeant-at-arms
then announced “the House of Repre
sentatives,” and the members appeared,
headed by Washburn, leaning on the
arm of Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of
the House, aud took scuts outside of the
bar.
The Secretary of the Senate then read
the minutes of the proceedings ou the

Mr. Stunbcry said that he and his fel

Answer to Article 1. For an answer
; to tlie lirst article, he says that Edwin
' M. Stanton was appointed Secretary of
! War on tlie 15th of January, lSt>2, by
Abraham Lincoln, the President of the
United States, during tlie first term of
bis Presidency, and was commissioned
; according to the Constitution and laws
j of the United States, “to hold such
j office during the pleasure of tlie Pres
ident :” and that the office of Secretary
| for tlie Department of War was created
: by an act of Congress on its lirst ses
: sion, and passed on the 7th of August.
117S1), and by that act it was provided
i and enacted that said Secretary for the.
i Department of War, “shall perform
1 and execute such duties as shall from
I time to time be enjoined by and iu
j trusted to him by tlie President of the
United Slates, agreeably to the Consti
’ tutiou, relative to the subjects within
the scope of said office; and further
| more, that said Secretary shall conduct
the business ofsaid Department iu such
manner as the President of tlie United
j States shall from time to time order
j and instruct,” and this respondent, fur
ther answering, says, that by force of
i the act aforesaid and by reason of Itis
I appointment as aforesaid, the said Stnn
1 ton became the principal officer in one
! of the Executive Departments of the
i Government, and it being tlie true in
dent of Section 2 of Article II of the
i Constitution of tlie United States, and
according to the true intent and mean
I ing of that provision of tlie Constitu
tion of the United States, and in ac
cordance with the settled and uniform
practice of every President of tlie
U lilted Estates, tlie said Stanton became ;
| and so long us lie should continue to
bold the office of Secretary for the De
partment of War, must continue to be
one of the cabinet of the President of
the United States, as well as the per
son entrusted to act for and represent
the President in matters conferred upon
him or entrusted to him by the Presi
dent touching the department afore
said, and for whoso conduct in such
! capacity, as a subordinate to the Presi
dent, tne President is, according to the
| Constitution and laws of the United
Slates, made responsible. And this re
spondent further answering, says lie
succeeded to the office of President of
the United States, aud liy reason of the
death of Abraham Diiicolii, then Pres
ident of the United States, on the 15th
. day of April, 1865, and said Edwin M.
; Stanton was then holding said officii of
' Secretary for the Department of War,
; and by reason of the appointment and
. commission aforesaid, and not having
been removed from said office by this
‘ respondent, the said Edwin M. Stanton
! continued to hold the same under the
; appointment ami commission as aforo
said, at the pleasure of the President,
until the time herein particularly men
: tinned : and at no time received by ap
pointment or commission, as above
' stated : aud this respondent further au
: sweriug that on anil prior to tlie 7th of
August. 1867. the respondent, the Pres
ident of the Uuited States, being re
sponsible for the conduct of the Secre
tary for the Department of war, aud
having tire constitutional right to resort
aud rely upon persons holding that
office for advice concerning the peat
public duties enjoined on the President
by the Constitution and laws of the
j United States, became satislied that lie
! could not allow said Stanton to hold
i the office of Secretary for the Depart
| luent of War, without hazard of the
j public iutervst, and that the relations
| between the President and said Stanton
i no longer permitted the President to
resort to him for advice, or iu tliejudg
| incut of the President be safely respon
| sible for the conduct of the Depart
ment of War, as required by law iu
l accordance with the orders aud instruc
tions of the President; and therefore,
by force of the Constitution and laws
of tlie United States, which devolved
on the President the power and duty
lo control the conduct mid business of
that executive department of theliov
eriiment: and by reason of the colisli
| tullonal duty of the President to take
care that tlie hues he faithfully execut
| ed, this respondent did necessarily eon
shier and determine said Stuutou ought
no longer lo hold said office of seere
I t.,rv o; the Department of War: and
this respondent, by virtue of Hie power
and aid lim it v vested Iu liiut as Presi
dent iff Ike t"lilted states, by theCou
' stiiutrort and laws of the United states,
, to gate eli’ect lo such, his decision anil
determination, did, on the 5th day of
August, A. D- 1867. address to the said
Stanton a note, of which the following
is a true copy :
"Sir : l’nhlic considerations of a high
character constrain me to say that yotir
resignation as secretary of War will be
accepted,”
To which note said Stanton made the
following reply :
••War Pecartaiens, Wasiiisotox, P. C. 1
August 0, 18k8. )
“Sir : Yonr note of this day has been
received, stating that public considera
tions of a high character constrain you
to say that my resignation as Secretary
of War will be accepted. In reply, I
liave (lie honor to sav that public con
| sideintiou of a high character, which
! alone have induced me to continue at
! the head of tlie Department, constrain
; tuc not to resign tiie office of secretary
! of War before the next meeting of Con
| gross. "Respectfully, yours,
[Signed] -Edwin M. Stanton.”
I The respondent, as President of the
I United States, was of the opinion that
] having regard to the necessary official
relations of the Secretary for tlie De
partment of War to the President of
the United States, and according to
tiie Constitution and laws of the United
States, and having regard to tiie respon
sibility of the President for tiie conduct
of said Secretary, and having regard
to the permanent executive authority
of the office which the respondent held
under tiie Constitution and laws of the
United States, it was impossible, con
sistently with the public interest, to
allow said Stanton to continue to hold
said office of Secretary of War; and it
then became the official duty of the re
spondent, as President of tiie United
States, to consider and decide what act
of the acts should and ought lawfully
be done as President of the United
States, to cause said Stanton to surren
der the said office. This respondent
was informed and verily believed that
it was practically settled by tiie first
Congress of the United States, and had
been so considered and uniformly and
in a great number of iustaucesautcd on
by Congress and the Presidents of the
United Status, from Washington to and
including Lincoln, and from the tirsi
I i’n.«... 4/a *1... * k {»•#»<•_ f 5 •• j4 Pnn.s..AUa •
that the Constitution of the United
States conferred on the President, us
part of the executive power, and as one
of the necessary means and instruments
of performing the executive duties im
posed ou him by the Constitution or
taking care that the laws be faithfully
executed, the power of at any and ull
times removing from office all cxecu
! live officers for causes to he judged of
by the President alone. This respon
dent has the assurance that the Con
stitution required tho opinion of each
co-principal officer of tho Executive
Department upon the question of
executive power and duty, lmd been
advised by each of them in relieving
s lid Stanton, Secretary of the Depart
ment of War; that under the Constitu
tion of the United States this power
was lodged by the Constitution in the
President of the United States, and
consequently cannot lawfully he exer
cised by any except him, and Cougress
could not deprive him of the power
thereof, because in that capacity he
was both enabled and bound to use his
best judgment upon this question, lie
didin good faith, and with honest de
sires to arrive at the truth, come to the
conclusion and did make tho same
known to tiie honorable Senate of the
United States, by message, dated on
the 2d day of March, 1867, a true copy
whereof is hereunto attached and mark
ed. That tiie power last mentioned
was conferred and tiie duty of exercis
ing it in such eases was imposed on
the President by tiie Constitution of
the United States, and that the Presi
dent could not he deprived of this
power or relieved of this duty, nor
could tiie same he vested by law in the
President and tho Semite jointly,
either in part or whole, and this lias
ever since remained ; and it was the
opinion of this respondent at the time
when lie was forced, as aforesaid, to
consider and decide whether that act
could or might ho lawfully done by
this respondent, as President of tiie
' United States, to cause the said Stau
. ton to surrender said office; this res
pondent was also then aware that the
lirst section of an act regulating the
tenure of civil office, passed March 2.
1807, by constitutional majority of
i both Houses of Congress, it was euac
| ted ns follows: “ Every person holding
any civil office, to which he lias been
appointed ny ana wnu me advice and
consent ol'tlip Senate, and every per
son who shall hereafter he appointed
to such office, shall become duly quali
fied to act therein, or shall he entitled
to hold such office until his successor
shall have been in like manner appoiu
ted and duly qualified, except as here
in otherwise provided: that (lie Secre
tary of State; Secretary of the Treas
ury ; Secretary of the Navy ; Serctarv
of the Interior; the Postmaster Gen
eral, and the Attorney General shall
hold office for and during the term of
tlie President by whom they may have
been appointed, and for one month
thereafter; subject to removal by the
i advice ami consent of the Senate.’’
i This respondent understood and believ
| cd to be ttu expression of the opinion
of Congress, by which that act was pas
sed, that the power to remove the exec
utive officers for causes, might, bv law,
be taken from the President, ami ves
ted in him and the Senate jointly; and
although this respondent had arrived
to and still retained the opinion abovo
i expressed, lie verily believed, as he
still believes, that the first section in
the hist mentioned act was and is in
operative and void by reason of its eou
filet with the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, yet, as the same had been
enacted by the constitutional majority
in eaeli of the two Houses of that Con
gress, this respondent considered that
it would he proper to examine and de
cide whether any particular case of the
said Stanton, on which it was this
respondent's duty to act, was within or
without terms of that first section of
tlie act, and, if withiu it, whether the
President bad not tlie power, accor
ding to those terms, to remove suid
Stanton from the office of Secretary of
War, and, having in his capacity as
President oftheUuitcd States, exam
ined and considered, did form the
opinion that the case of said Stanton
and his tenure-of-office were not affec
ted by the first section of the last nam
ed act; and this, the respondent in
further suswering says, although a
case as this existing, which in his judg
ment as President of tlie United Slates
called for tlie exercise of the executive
power to remove said Stanton from
the office of Secretary for the Depart
1 ment of War, and although this respon
dent was of the opinion, as above
shown, that under the Constitution of
the United States, power to remove
said Stanton from said office was ves
ted in the President of the United
States; and although thisrespoiidenl
was also of opinion, as above shown,
that the ease of said Stanton was not
affected hv the first section of the last
named act; and although each of said
opinions had been formed by this
respondent upon actual use, requiring
him in Ids capacity of President of the
United States to eoure to some judg
ment or determination thereon ; but
this respondent, tlie President of the
United States, desired aud determined
to receive, if possible, on questions of
construction and effect of said first sec
tion ot the tast named act, and also the
i bro’ador question of the executive
power conferred on the President of
the United States by tlie Constitution
of the United States to remove any of I
the principal oflicefs of oue of the I
Executive Departments for rtnv cause
seeming to hint sufficient; and this
respoudeut also determined that if.
from any cause over which he could
exert no control, it should become
absolutely necessary to raise and have
in some way either, or both, of tlic last
named questions, it was iu accordance
witli tbo Constitution of tlie United
States, and required the President
thereby, that questions of so Hindi i
importance, on which the legislative
and executive departments of the
Government have disagreed, and which
j involved powers considered by ail
brandies of the Government, during
I its entire history down to the year
1807, to hnvebccn confided by the Con
stitution of the United States to the
President, and to be necessary for tlie
complete and proper execution of his
duties, and siiould be ill the same pro
per, was submitted to that department
of ilie Government intrusted by the
Constitution witli the power, and sub
jected by it to tlie duty of not only
1 determining the final construction and
I effect of all acts of Congaess, hullo
compare thorn with the Constitution of
{ tlic. United Stntesand pronounce them
inoperative when found in conflict with
that fundamental law, whicli the peo
ple have enacted for tlic government
of all their servants ;and to these ends ;
First, that through the action of the
Senate of tlic United States it is the
absolute duty of the President to sub
stitute a person in place of Stanion, as
one of his advisers auda principal sub- j
ordinate officers, whose official conduct !
he was responsible for and had lawful i
right to control; and might be accom
plished without the necessity of raising '
any one of the questions aforesaid, j
Second, that if this duty could not be
so performed, then the questions, or
such of them as might possibly arise,
siiould he judicially determined in the
maiuier aforesaid; and that to no other i
end or purpose this respondent, as
j President of the United states, on the !

after the reception of the letter of said i
stanton, herein before stated, did issue 1
to said stanton the order following,
viz: [Here comes the President’s order
removing stanton and appointing Grant i
secretary of War ad interim, and Stan
ton's reply.] And this respondent, an
swering, says it is provided in and by
the section ot an act to regulate the
tenure of certain civil offices tiiat the
President may suspend an officer from
the performance of duties of the office
held by him for certain causes desig
nated until the next meeting of the
senate, and until the, cause shall be ac
ted on by the sen .to; and this respou
i dent, as President of the United states.
was advised, he verily believed, and
| still believes that the executive power
I of removal from office, confided to him
| by the Constitution aforesaid, includes
i the power of suspension from office, at
1 the pleasure of the President. This
I respondent, by order aforesaid, did
j suspend said stanton from office, not
until the next meeting of the senate, or
until the senate should have acted upon
the case, but by force of the power and
' authority vested in him by the Con
stitution and laws of die United s'a'es
indefinitely, and at the pleasure of the
J President. The order aforesaid was
i made known to the senate of the United
| States on the 12di day of December,
; I Stir, as will be most fully hereinafter
| stated.
The President concludes his response
i to the first article by denying that any
and all substau'iative matters in saitl
first article, contained in the mauiicr
and form as therein stated and set forth,
i do bv law constitute a high misde
meanor in office, within the true meuti
1 ing of the Uoustitutiou of the United
j states.
The reading of the President's an
1 swer occupied an hour anil a half.
Konlwvll, on behalf of the m lingers,
requested a copy of the answer, and
said it was their expectation to present
their reply to-morrow at one o’clock.
Mr. Evarts then addressed the Court
in relation to the period of time to be
allowed the respondent after the appli
cation is filed and before the trial is to
proceed. He said the President's coun
sel had been loo fully occupied with
the preparation of his answer to make
any pieparution whatever for the trial,
and they therefore request that the
Court allow the President and his
counsel thirty days from the date of
the application to prepare for the trial,
I and a motion in writing to that elici t
I was presented and read by the Secre
! tary.
\'lr. Howard moved that it lie on the
, liimr mill i <tii 1.1 iui .MM-ii mo..,
but withdrew it oil Mr. Bingham's nn
nouucemeiit that tiie managers were
ready to express their opiuion on the
application.
M r Logan, in behalf of tho managers,
said they would oppose it, because there
was no reason offered lor the delay, except
thut the President's counsel needed time.
Ho said they had hud as much time as the
managers, and some other reasons should
be given, as there had been nn application
for delay made in former trials of impeach
ment, when it was always stated on oath
that time was needed to produce distuut
wituesses, etc. No such cause was alleg
ed or shown in this case, ami the rule
adopted by the Senate required tho trial
to proceed, unless cause for delay was
shown, and the managers insisted that no
more time should bo allowed to tho Pres
ident tliau to the meanest man. At the
expiration of the thirty days an applica
tion might he made for further delay, to
send for witnesses, perhaps to Sitka, and
material reasons for delay should be assign
ed now.
Mr. Evarts called the attention of Court
to the fact that the President’s counsel
hud only been allowed eight working days
in which to prepare their unswer, aud said
it was not an answer to their present appli
cation; that equal haste would he neces
sary on the part of the managers as on the
part of themselves. Tbeir positions wore
uot similar. The managers hud enjoyed
peculiar facilities for examining and sum
moning wituesses. The President had
public duties which employed much of his
time, and the counsel asked no more in
this ease for the President than they would
for the poorest criiuiual. If unforeseen
circumstances should arise requiring de
lav for tho President, or for wituesses for
either side, it should he the duty ol the
court to grantsit
Mr Wilson aunouoeed the determina
tion of the managers to resist all uuueoes
sary delay, aud liie first step taken by the
counsel oa the loth was in violation of the
precedents of former impeachment trials.
In the case of Judge Chase the respoudeut
i kid asked for eleven months delay, sup
l (sirting his application by several state
j incuts, and ouly thirty days wore granted,
aud yet the preparations were so perfect as
! to secure his acquittal. On the elaborate
I answer to duy presented Mr. Wileou found
! the strougest argument agaiust delay, for
! the respondent therein claimed his right
It was the very thing on which the trial
is based The respondent's case was not
that of any ordinary criiuiual lie asked |
lime in which he may properly coHtinue ]
in tho interests of the country, as he had j
done, by the course hy winch he uow jus- j

I It was not such us would Warrant the Sen- j
ate, under the t uhw, to grant a delay The1
I—1
counsel should uot be allowed time to ed
ucale themselves in the cue.
Mr. CsiiUiberry replied that some reli
mice should be placed on the personal hon
or of the counsel when they said that they
have been so pressed fur preparing then
answer that they have not had time given
ilium with the President, us to what wit
nesses should be summoned. H'hile they
were so engaged tile managers bad beer
arranging for the conduct of their case—
Mr. iStanberry reiterated that ho Mild hit
Icllow-counsel had not even a docutncni
prepared or a witness summoned, and i:
they were forced to proceed with the cast
to morrow they would appear defencclcst
and unarmed. He appealed to the Courl
for tune; if not the full period asked for
at least a portion. He argued against tilt
construction placed by the managers ot
the rule cited.
Mr. Binghuui was about to reply wlier
the Chief Justice remarked that the man
agers could not close the debate.
Mr. Howard moved that tlieupplicatior
be laid on the table
Mr. Johnson called for the reading ol
the 20th rule, limiting the debate ou in

Such is tiie effect of radical rule 01

incut of tl»e Northern Democrats
That our readers may be kept posted
we occasionally give such argument
as arc addressed particularly to tin
Northern people, and now give tin
following from the New York Du;
book :
It is an undisputed fact that the de
cay of one great branch of commerce
unless arrested, is carried dually inti
all other departments of trade. If an;
man doubts this, look over the countr;
mid see its condition. We have Imc

is certainly hungry ami willing to bt
fed, but the supply docs not come
Why is it ? Because the great machinery
of trade is out of order. The law o
demand ami supply is not allowed It
operate. Our great staple, cotton, ii
strangled almost out of existence
Boston anti New Yolk exported it
18(50, lUt,87t> packages of cotton goods
Iu 1861, 72,882 packages, lit 1867 thost
two ports shipped only 22,906 packages
In 1860 New York seut to Mexico
4813 packages of eottou goods. It
1867 only 1090. In 1860, this same city
sent to the East India and_ Chint
47,730 packages ; iu 1867 only 4558. T<
the South American ports New York
shipped iu 1860, 13,294 packages; it
1867, 1,024. To Brazil, we sent in i860
8,103 packages ; in 1867, 2,343.
How long, oh, ye sleepy coutiuercia
classes, do you 'intend to doze ovei
these startling facts V Do you not know
that you are us surely being underlain
ed aud irretrievably ruined as yoi
exist? You will awake and find your
selves completely pauperized, and be
yond the aid of help, unless you opei
your eyes to your danger at ouee. Tin
trade of any country is like a piece o
mechanism; it is intricate, complies
ted, but under a proper construction
aud ruguiation, beautifully perfect it
its results. One of the great wheels
as cotton-growing was, cannot bt
stricken out without endangering al
the balance of the machinery, und any
prctical man can see the deraugemeni
to-day. New England howls iu des
pair; she cannot sell the South hei
domestic manufactures; she cannot gei
from (he South cotton at a price tliai

the additional expeuses of uiauiifuctur

The great commercial cities of tilt
North out of New England, New
York, l'liiiadelphia, Baltimore, etc
which once sold the South large billt
of foreign goods, uow do little or noth
ing in that line. The great westert
trade, the millions which in the sltapt
of property floated down the Missis
sippi and the Ohio, is blotted out also
and the rumifleatiou of the evil, tht
destruction of that one Item, cotton
in our trade machinery, has been widt
aud deep. Not a single Eastern North
eru or Western trade interest hai
escaped the effects of the cottou depres
sion. Our warehouses, our iusuraiict
offices, our commission brokers, out
shipping houses—nay, the very dray
meu who convey the cotton bale«
from store to vessel, have suffered ami

For the < ii »*♦*»» ]
Mr. Editor: I have Just read in tho
Memphis Bulletin an interesting report
of tho journeying* and speeches of Mr.
Everitt, of London, a wealthy Broker,
of the firm of Everitt, Luca* Ss Co., on
Lombard street, in London. Mr. Ever
ett is travcllingin the South for the pur
pose of satisfying himself relative to
the resources, moral and intellectual
status of her people, the properties and
qualities of her soil, the geographical
features of tjie South, her mineral re
sources, navigable streams, Railroad
facilities, &c. Having passed over
much of the territory of the South, lie
tins prepared himself to talk intelligent*
, ly and interestingly as well as encour
agingly of the people and the country.
A brief synopsis of his speeches or lec
tures at Ratesvillc and Sardis, Missis
sippi, and at Memphis,Teiinessc, is fur
nished in the Bulletin. The people of
Memphis and Mississippi seem to un
derstand and appreciate (lie mission of
Mr. Everitt, which is to prospect and
examine into the condition ana statis
tical resources of the Southern States,
with a view to sending over immigrants
and intelligonts fanners, mechanics and
laborers, to settle up uud cultivate and
improve certain portions of the South,
but more especially, at first, to purchase,
settle, and improve the lands contigu
ous or adjacent to the Railroads and
navigable streams, provided the owners
of those extensive trams of wild and
I untenanted lands will sell them at rea
sonable prices to the company of which
Mr. Everitt is the accredited represen
tative from England. It is gratifying
to learn that Mr. Everitt has met with
1 such cordial welcome and flattering as
surances from the best men, ns well as
IUU91 lllicm^riib nuu niuuoitvuti
spirited patriots along the line of his
travels in the South. He feels assured
of the eo-operation of the ablest and
wisest men at every point where he has
revealed the objects and purposes of
his philanthropic mission. Mr. Everitt
comes not begging, of a people over
run, down trodden and financially
bankrupt; but lie comes to them witli
words of cheer as the representative of
one of the wealthiest associations or
companies of Europe, and eloquently
, deals in facts and candid assurances of
what he means and intends, and only
asks the people of the South to co-op
erate with the Immigrant Association
by selling to the Company the lands
that they have not the means or the
: capital to improve and cultivate; that
by so doing, the great resources of the
South may be developed, and the pros
perity and happiness of her people
thereby incalculably enhanced- Mr.
. Everitt disclaims emphatically against
meddling in the motlv politics of this
i country ; says he regards politicians as
! either fools or rascals, and kindly ad
; vises the people to pursue the only
i path that will ultimately bring them to
’ pence, quiet and prosperity, viz.: Labor,
industry and frugality. Would it not
. be well for us if we bad among us many
I such men as Mr. Everitt to council us
to go to work and make meat and bread
i and become a thrifty and independent
i people, instead of running after the
little one horse, popgun, penny whistle
^ politicians that arc eternally bleating
; at I lie top of their voices, and crying
wolf, wolf, and excitlngund distracting
1 those that listen to or follow after them.
,; The present condition of the Southern
. people is a woeful evidence of the great
folly of listening to and following after
office seeking demagogues. The citi
1 zens of Mississippi, among whom Mr.
. Everitt has been, have called a meeting
1 at Jackson, il ississippi, on the 31st inst,
| (March.) for the purpose of organizing
themselves into a co-operative com
pany and devising ways and mean" to
- encourage, aid and assist in carrying
out the plan and scheme ot Mr. Everitt.
; The citizens of Memphis have held a
i meeting and adopted resolutions fav
oring the meeting and appointed fifteen
of the ablest and most intluencial men
. in mid m ound Memphis as delegates to
the meeting at Jackson on the 31st inst.
: This is certainly u move in the right
direction. But the question comes up,
arc we of Arkansas to staud as idle
spectators? have we no uuteuanted
; lands, rich and fertile, into the bosom
of which the spade has never been
i llirust; have we no dark, extended for
ests in which the sound of the axe is
| never heard ; have we no broad, level
aud rich prairies, in the surface of
which the ploughshare has never mov
ed. If we stand still and fail to act our
part lu this our day, there will be those
that will come after us, that will act.

At a call meeting of White Hiver
■ Lodge, No 37, F. A. M.. held in their
• Lodge Room, March 23d 1868, the fol
lowing preamble und resolutions were
1 adopted, to wit:
The Masonic light, carried by our
worthy brother, John B. Slateb, has
been extinguished forever. He depart
ed ttiis life after a protracted illness on
the 21st inst.; but there is hope of a
tree if it be hewn down, that it will
sproutagain, and that the under branch
es thereof will never, never die. That
in the death of brother Slateb, Ma
sonary has lost a devoted aud useful
member; the church to which he be
longed an exemplary member; that we
cannot forbear to tuourn the loss of our
brother, but we rejoice that his faith
was firm aud buoyant. when passing
the jordou of death and even lighted
up the territory of the grave.
Therefore be it Resolved, That in to
ken of our respect for his memory, the
. Lodge he clothed iu mourning for the
space of sixty days; and that the mem
bers of this Lodge be requested to wear
the usual badge of mourning for thirty
day.'.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the Lodge ;
that Uie Secretary furnish a ropy of the
same to the familv of the deceased, and
also that a copy be furnished each of
the Des Arc papers, with request that
they publish the same.
