Saturday Morning, Sfpt, 11, Ifidf.
Nothing material has turned up
m and around the city of Dee Arc,
nter thing teems to remain ill “rtBtn
quo.’1 In political circlet we have tut
little to note. The President's procla
mation, bearing upon purdou of rebel#,
ole., wulay before onr readers to-day.
haring received it at so late an hour
we forbear any comments for the pres
ent, enffleo it to say, we think It to be
a step in the right direction and cal
rulated to inspire hope of bettor things
incoming day*. ITc bide onr time
and live in hope of a brighter future,
vet to dawn upon the unfortunate peo
ple of our section. Mosc9 once said to
tho Hebrews: “stand still and see the
salvation oi tho Lord.” And in imita
tion of that illustrious leader and Jew
ish lawgiver, we sav to the people
of the South, “stand still” until the
troubled waters (politically) shall be
come calm, until prejudices have time
to Bubsldo and passion lulls to quiet.
I here is hope of atreeif it be cut down
—and surely we have been cut down—
yet onr d3y to sprout -will come, we
arc awaiting the second sober thought
of tho people North nnd Ponth. Let
the southern people show to the world
that they can patiently submit to hard
ships, quietly bear the burdens conse
quent upon s failure to establish a
separate political organization and in
good faith practically carry out the
stipulation* of tho surrender entered
iuto by such men as Robert L. Lee,
Josrpli E. Johnson nnd other distin
guished chieftains of the recent rebel
lion. If others violate the constitution
and prove recreant to their plighted
faith, let the sin lie at their own door
and the future historian will chronicle
the facts a3 they transpire iu this our
day of tribulation. Adversity is the
school in which great men as w ell us
great nations have been trained, while
prosperity is the harbinger of evil and
misfortune to men as well as to na
tions. Enlightened minds and virtu
ous manners can never be long cu
slared.
Let the good people of Des Are and
the surrounding country, turn their at
tention to local improvements, and to
the social order of things with which
we have to do every day. Let us as
soon as our financial abilities win war
rant, go to work in good earnest and
help to put a eubstancial bridge over
Bayou Des Arc and Bayou Wattensaw,
and help to improve all the roads that
center at Dos Are; overseers have
been appointed and commissioned to
work and improve the various roads
iu the. county. The Bridges on the
road to Cotton I’laut have been let, and
the work begun by a reliable mau:
this is indeed an encouraging symp
tom. and we fervently hope it is but
the begitming of a great and glorious
end.
Black Congressman.
The colored people of Georgia ..;e
. . — W CM* JUU \Ji l\
share in tin* offices, and in many in
stants are receiving encouragement
from (lie better portion of the white
population. The following extract
from an address of James Ratriek Tick
ling, a colored mau, announcing him
self as a candidate for Congress in the
first district of that State, is a “heavy
document" and shows that there ia at
least one •‘culled individual" who un
derstands the Radicals:
•’ I am not ambitious for the notorie
ty of a candidacy for Congress, nor
would I consider myself elevated to n
post of honor were 1 elected to a seat
in the present Congress ; but consider
ations of tlie gravest moment to ray
own race, and to the country at largo,
impel me to the conviction that the
surest remedy for Radical evils is for
the South to return colered represen
tatives in preference to strengthening
the Radical vote, by sending any o!
their white representatives at present
among us. I am sufficiently posted in
the political affairs of this country to
know, that it is utterly impossible for
any white man from the excluded
States, who lias any claims to respect
ability. intelligence or statesmanship,
to obtain n scat iu either House of Con
.ronao 'I'l.iu nmepnntli.p tift*«\w)w
most conclusive evidence of 11 deter
mined purpose on the part of the dom
inant part) to suppress the truth, and
to employ such instrument* only us arc
capable, of being used for the propaga
tion of error and the perpetuation of
party ascendency.
‘There is nothing more certain than
that there can be no reconstruction un
der the present existing legislation, ex
cept ou the Radical basis, and by the
entire Uadicalization of the Southern
States, which, in my humble judgment,
means anarchy, war. and the early des
truction of the colored race on this
continent. Of course, ruin will result
to the white race, and the whole coun
try must sutler untold evils in the se
quel of our destruction. It is, there
fore, the duty of every honest man at
the (south, black and white, to look
this question squarely in the face, and,
if possible, avert the impending ruin.
ft is not improbable that colored
delegates to Congress will be rejected ;
but it is folly to ignore or blink the
•'act that we now form it part and par
cel of the political machinery of the
Government, and the correlative right
of holding office is an inherent part of'
the American system, and must follow,
as the night to-day, the right to vote
These are the paramount attributes of
cilwenahfo in a republican government,
a,hi Lespecially so in America. The |
franchise has been conferred upon my
race, eitho'. a a matter of right, or for
the purpose ot using tie us instruments 1

party, bad oppressing too white people

Washington, September 8.
The following Pardon Proclamation,
although postponed yesterday, wag not
issued until this •fteittoon hyfhePres
ident of tfie United States of America :
A EROCLAMATION.
Whereas, In the month of July, A.
! D. 1881. the two Houses of Congress,
I with extraordinary unanimity, solemn
ly declared that the war then existing

subjugation, nor purpose of overthrow

! maty of tlio Coustitution, and to pre
serve the Union with all the dignity,
equality, and rights of the several
States unimpaired, and that as soon as
these ejects should be accomplished
i the war ought to cease, and
I Whereas, The President of the Uni
ted States on the 8th day of December.
A. D. 1883, and on the 28th of March,
A. D. 1884, did, with the objects of sup
pressing the then existing rebellion, of
! inducing all persons to return to their
1 loyalty, and of restoring the authority
I of the United States, issue proclama
tion* offering amnesty and pardon to
| #11 persons who had, directly or indi
| rectly, participated ill the existing re
bellion, except as specified and reserv
! ed in those proclamations ; and
Whereas. The President of the Uni
ted States did, on the 29th day of May.
, A. D. 1886, i#sue a further proclama
1 tion with the same objects above luen
I tloncd, and to the end that the authori
i ty of tlte Government of the United
i States might be restored, and that
1 peace, order and freedom might be re
| established, nud the President did by
' the said last mentioned proclamation
1 proclaim anil declare that he thereby
granted to ail persons who had direct
ly or indirectly participated in the then
existing rebellion, except the parties
therein excepted, amnesty and pardon, i
with restoration of all rights of proper-1
ty. except as to slaves, and certain ex
isting eases where legal proceedings
had been instituted, but upon condi- j
tion that such person# should take and I
subscribe an oath therein prescribed, i
which oaths should be registered for!
permanent preservation ; and
Whereas, In ami by said before men
tioned proclamation of the 29th day of!
May, 1885, four extensive classes of
persons therein especially described, \
were altogether excepted and excluded
from the benefits thereof, and
Whereas, 'flic President of the Uni
ted States did, on the 2d day of April, J
A. D., 1SC8. is-.uo a praclamution de
claring that the insurrection was at an !
eud. nud was thenceforth to be so re
garded ; and
.. mi..,.. ;
ganizcd armed resistance of misguided |
citizens, or others, to the authority of!
die United Slates in the States of;
Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas. Mississippi,;
Florida and Texas, and the laws can be
sustained ami enforced therein by the '
proper civil authority, State or Feder
al, and the people of said States are
well and loyally disposed, and have
conformed, and if permitted to do so
will conform in their legislation to the
condition of affairs growing out of the
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States prohibiting slavery with
in the limits and jurisdiction of the
United States; and
Whereas, There is no longer existing
any reasonable ground to apprehend
within the Slates which were involved
in ttie late rebellion, any renewal
thereof, or any unlawful resistance by
the people of said States to tlie Consti
tution and laws of the United States;
"ud
Whereas, As large sitludiug artniee,
military occupation, martial law, mili
tary tribunals and the suspension of
Vfg&'or"•jury,
are in time of peace dangerous to pub
lic liberty, incompatible with the indi
vidual rights of the citizen, contrary to
the genius and spirit of our free institu
tions, and exhaustive of the national
resources, and ought not therefore to
be sanctioned or allowed, except in
eases of actual necessity, for repelling
invasion or suppressing insurrection or
rebellion ; and
Whereas, A retaliatory, vindictive
policy, attended by unnecessary dis
qualifications, pains, penalties, confisca
tion aud disfranchisement, now, u»
always, could only lead to binder
reconciliation among the people and
national restoration, while it must
seriously embarrass, obstruct and re
press popular energies and national
industry and enterprise; and.
Whereas, For that reason, it is now
deemed essential to the public welfare,
and to tiie more, perfect restoration oi
Constitutional law and order, that the
said last mentioned proclamation, ns
before issued, on the tiOth day of May,
A. 1>. 1865, should be modified, aud
that the full and beneficent pardon eon
ceded thereby should be ottered and
further extended to a large number of
persons who by its aforesaid acts have
been hitherto excluded from Executive
clemency—
Mow, then fore, be it known that I,
— Andrew Johnson. President of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and
(lecture that the lull pardon described
in this proclamation) of the 29th day of
May. A. IV 18(15, shall henceforth be
