THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Jnst as tho smoke began to clear
away from the hard fought fields in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, loud
shouts of victory rose from the ranks
of tbe enemy, while our banners seem
ed to b* trailing in the dust. As the
results became known some panic
stricken and doubting Thomases began
to clamor for a change of commanders,
but the sturdy Democracy of New
York, notin the least dismayed, were
for continuing the war under the glo

." —.
We any glorious, because victory was
on the side of Democracy until this
late contest, which, like the victory of
Pyrrhus, if repeated, will destroy the
Radical party rank and file. The Nor
thern Democracy were too sanguine
Of success, and, as a consequence, de
feat was so unexpected that it caused n
momentary panic. But this very re
verse, instead of dispiriting the party,
will prove an incitement to renewed
exertions, and the time left to work in
will be well employed. The enthusi
asm that blazed from one end of the
Union to the other immediately after
the nominations had partially died out,
and but little interest was taken in the
State elections. Now everything will
be brought to bear in the final engage
ment. Grant and Colfax will have to
carry the negro, the bonds, and the re
construction acts of Congress. Grants'
military acts is to be passed upon, Col
fax’s Know Nothing record is to be
tried. Upon this will be heaped the
the tyranny and injustice of the Radi
cal Congress toward the South, with
the immense frauds and peculations of
Its members and its abortive financial
legislation. With such a load as this
to carry we may confidently expect to
beat them.
Besides, it is estimatud that ten thou
sand Jews in Pennsylvania who voted
the Radical ticket in the State election
will cast their votes against Grant on
stccount of Order No. 11, which of itself
will nearly give us the State. In Ohio
there Is not qnitefive thousand major
ity to overcome, while in Indiana there
is hut one thousand. Then there is
West Virginia, of which we had but
little hope, gone Democratic. Looking
at the situation fairlr we cannot but
conclude that the Democracy la in the
nacendant at the North, and that it ia
«ur dnty to work with oil the vigor
and power we possess to aid in the
•lection of our candidates, and to
repudiate the reconstruction policy of
Congress which has been fastened up
on as against oar consent by fraud and
Intimidation. Besides, if we knew
that onr ticket could not be elected, It
it plainly onr duty to put Arkansas on
record and let our friends North know
that we are willing to help ourselves.
Let a* show them that we are Demo
cratic, and that they can count us so
all the time. We can carry Arkansas,
and it wonld be a shame to let the
•lection go against ns for the want of!
a little work. Come out, then, every j
man, and do your dnty toward your ■
country, and if we are not successful (
this time it will bear its legitimate
fruit in the future._
Notwithstanding the great wrongs
heaped noon the people of the south
by the radical party in their recon
struction policy, and other acts of un
wise legislation, have rendered their
name odious amongst all honest men,
etill there are wrongs greater than
these for which they are responsible.
There are evils being inflicted daily
npon the people, the consequences of
which must fall upon their heads. It |
1* a self evident fact that the ruling |
party look only to their continuance
in power, and do not heeitate to em
ploy any mean* or make any sacrifice,
to accomplish this their darling object.
For this purpose the negro hag been
taken from hi* proper ephere, where ]
he wae happy and useful, and trans
formed into a trickster and politician.
The white race have been insulted and
abused; many of them brought from
affluence to poverty; a country that!
once bloomed as a rose, now withers |
. under the blighting winds of adversity, j
Congress b> a systematic course of op- 1
yression, has well succeeded in break-1
ing down, to a great extent, our com- j
Sieves; laying waste at least one-third |
of our territory ; rendering our lands i
worthless; aud hsdging our once,
tbroi gf.i highways wuit briars and
u 1111 ■jMs«*«gsg. m...
diistles. For all these things are, and
because they are we borrow this better
description than we can give of our
condition, and those that arc responsi
ble for it:
It is no ordinary erinae to rnin a
country large enough for an empire,
and fertile enough to enrich the world.
We pause in the midst of the hurricane
that sweeps over it, and ask : Is this
statesmanship? Is this the boasted
civilization of the nineteenth century?
The traveler, resting on the site of
some deserted village, or on the banks
of some silent watercourse, with the
history of the once great South fresh
In his' mind, will inquire: Why this
desolation, why this return to primeval
gloom? He will wish to know to
what natural cause the circumstance
may be traced. He ViII ask, where
are the men who felled the forests, who
made the fields yield that which quick
ened the pulse of commerce and thrilled
all the nerves of enterprise? He will
wish to know what dire calamity has
sealed their lips, unnerved their arms
and emasculated their manhood. He
will wish to know if famine or pesti
lence, or soihc convulsion of nature has
overtaken and devoured them. He
will wish to know why a country so
rich in minerals and in soil, so genial
in climate and ao productive of all the
fruits of the enrth, is abandoned to the
bramble and the brier, while new Eng
land, cold, sterile and forbidding,
blooms as a gardet^aud sways the des
tiny of the greatest country'known to
mail. He will wish to know why the
children of the South no longer flock
to the school-houses, why the clinrches
are rotting, and why the song of the
laborer is no longer heard. He will
marvel wheu he perceives that, while
all the balance of the world moves
steadily forward on the highway of
progress, the South retrogrades. But
he will marvel still mbre when his re
searches shall teach him that the South
does not lack the disposition to pro
gress, but is not allowed to do so.
Why not allowed? Then will come the
answer; then will break the truth, and
then will pour down the floods of light.
The South has been over-run anti con
quered. Its great men are in prison,
or in exile, or disfranchised, and the
States they once governed with so
much benefit to the whole country,
have been turned over to negroes and
white adventurers from the North.
Why has this been done? The history
of the radical party will afford the
astouuding answer.
This will lie the last number of
our paper that will reach the majority
of our feeders befoie the Presidential
election, and we wish to once more
urge upon them the necessity of some
sort of organization that can be effect
ively used on the day of election. Ev
ery township club should call a meet
ing between this and election day, and
adopt measures by which concert of;
action may be had. Organization and j
discipline will Insure concert of action, j
and concert of action nearly always I
secures the success of the enterprize !
undertaken. tV'c owe it ns n duty to
our country and to ourselves to make
a strong effort to carry Arkansas for |
Seymour and Blair. If wo carry the;
State we will have to make a hard j
light, for the infamous registration law j
has been villainously executed, and
nothiug lias been left undone by the t
party now in power in the State that [
they dared to do that would add to the j
furtherance of their wicked designs.
But this need not altogether discour
age us, for we have the majority if the
voters will come to the polls, and ex
ert their influence properly on the day
of election. The Radicals are counting
on a full colored vote, and all Radical,
while the real truth is there is not one
half of their number that will vote that
ticket. A much larger number than
many anticipate can be influenced to
vote the Democratic ticket on the day
of election, while a considerable num
ber more will uot go to th^ polls at all.
The election will be closely sontpst
ed in the North, and the five electoral
votes of Arkansas may possibly give
us a Democratic President. The Nor
thern Democracy have made a gallant
fight so far, and we cannot make too
many sacrifices in showing our appre
ciation of their noble conduct in de
fense of our rights. They have been
generous allies and fast friends, taking
upon themselves a great weight in this
canvass in order to relieve our people
from the wicked and oppressive gov
ernments that are now cursing the ten
States in the South. No people could
certainly have greater incentives to
action than we now have.
Our press is shackled.
Our best citizens are disfranchised.
The taxes arc onerous nnd unneces
sary.
The government is uot civil but mil
itary ; and
Aliens to the State are in her high
places.
A people whose condition is so truly
deplorable will most nssuredlv sicze
inch an opportunity as is now present
ed them of bettering their case, and
labor with the utmost diligence until
they accomplish that which they so
devoutly wish. As we said in the be
ginning some kind of an organization
is necessary to insure success. Let
clubs appoint ns many as three or four
canvassers to work immediately around
the polls, appoint as many more to find
out who have uot. attended and send
for them, appoiut challengers to pre
vent illegal voting: nnd finally let every
man feel that he has not performed his
duty until he has done all within
his power for the success of the ticket.
Don't leave the polls as long at you
can be serviceable if you want to get
rid of carpet-baggers and scalawags.
Be active and vigilant for one day and
you may strip the pettifogger of the
ermine and the carpet-bagger of the1
mantle. Perform one day’s good work
lud yon may yet l>c proud of Arkau
ias. Devote one day to the effort of
Tying to perpetuate American liberty, j
ind if you fail you can lay the blame
it the door of the fanatical North.

FOH SEWATOR IS THE XIITH
DISTRICT.
At a convention of the Democracy,
held at Devall’s Bluff on the 23d in»t.,
to nominate a candidate to fill the va
cancy in the Twelfth Senatorial Dis
trict, composed of the counties of Prai
rie and Arkansas, Mr. R. B. Carl Lee,
ofPrairie county, was nominated ns the
Democratic candidate, the election to
come off on the 3d day of November
next. ,
Mr. Carl Lee is a staunch Democrat,
tried and true, was a citizen of Arkan
sas before the war, and having an in
terest in the country himself, will, if
elected, guard the interests of Ids con
stituents with a jealous eye. He is a
young man of honest purposes and tone
that did not seek the nomination, but
had it thrust upon him. He does not
enter the canvass for the gain of honors
or pay, but that be may serve his coun
try, and perform the duties incumbent
upon him as a citizen. He is well
known in Prairie and Arkansas coun
ties, and is probably the strongest man
we could pnt in the field at this time.
The election of a Democrat to this po
sition is of vital importance to the peo
ple, as no less than nine vacancies in
the General Assembly are to be filled
at this election, and it is very probable
that more will occur before much more
legislation is had. It then becomes our
duty, and nearly interests us, to elect a
good Democrat, who, with others that
will be sent from other districts, may
be able to somewhat check the hurtful
and unwise legislation that marked our
State Legislature during the last ses
sion. It is high time the State Gov
ernment was wrenched from the hands
of carpet-baggers and interlopers and
given to men that have some interest
in the country. Now is the time to
commence the work, and when com
menced keep it up until we redeem the
State from the thraldom of these vile
pests that only come among us that
they may prey upon the honest indus
try of the country.
I6p-“Let ns have peace,” cries the
Radical candidate for Senator in thin
District. Let us have no pink-eyes say
wc.

|©-Be certain that the name of R. j
B. Carl Lee is on your ticket for Sena
tor for the Twelfth District. He is the
only Democratic candidate in the field
for tliis office.

TUe Cotton Crop—Cotton Supply
-llusiness Prospect*.
With all (lie drawbacks to the culti
vation of cotton, compared witli the
means and facilities just before tile
war, tile crop of thf> present year is
large ami very valuable, it is now
generally estimated at two million five
hundred thousand bales; and it must
he remembered that this is not the es
timate of cotton speculators, who are
ofteu interested in misrepresenting the
facts, but of the planters themselves
and of those wlio prepare careful sta
tistics of our productions. The'cotton
generally is of as tine a quality, too,
as in the most fivorable seasons. This
year’s crop, therefore, will be worth, if
the present price be kept up, about
two hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars. There is reason to believe tlie
price w ill bo sustained, or that it will
decline but little. The stock of our
American long staple on baud in Eu
rope is very limited and there is a
large demand at home. The crop will
I'Otlli/O lil*i Kl « mni'A flints nun
vious one lias realized; for when it
reached four or five million* of bales,
as in the years just before the war, the
market value per pound was not half
wliat it is now.
England has been making extraor
dinary exertions for many years past
to stimulate the growth of cotton iu
India, Egypt and other parts of the
world. In order to make herself inde
pendent, to some extent at least, of the
United States for this article. The
money expended by the British gov
ernment, by the government of India,
and by English capitalists and manu
facturers for this purpose amounts to
an enormous sum. The war in this
country which cut oil' the supply to
England and which at one time threat
ened to break up and revolutionize the
vast manufacturing business of that
country alarmed the British people and
government. At this crisis they Re
doubled their former efforts to get a
supply elsewhere.and they did increase
the production vastly in India, and to
sonic extent, in Egypt. Still, as soon
ns the war was over here and Ameri
can cotton could be obtained again, the
demand for it was greater than the
supply, and it continues to be so even
at the high price of twenty-two to
twenty-eight cents a pound. Why is
tills? Tile answer is plain. The cot
ton of India is a poor short staple arti
cle, an I badly prepared for market; the
cotton from Egypt, though better than
that of India, and said to be equal in
quality to som of ttie best American,
is raised only to a limited extent, and
the crops are very unreliable. It. has
been said that Egypt would produce
two or three millions of bales a year
with sufficient labor and skillful culti
vation ; but there is neither the labor
nor skill to obtain such a vast produc
tion. We doubt, however, if anything
like that amount could be raised under
any circumstances. The truth is, our ’
Southern States are the only reliable
cotton-producing region yet discover
ed iu the world-for the best qualities,
and there is no fear of other countries
rivalling this in that production. Our
soil, climate and labor, and, above all, j ,
that beneficent Golf Stream which
sweeps round our coast, giving the ; ’
needful showers alternately with a i
semi-tropical sunshine, give us for all |
time a monopoly of cotton cultnre aud .
the cotton markets.
When we look at the terrible destruc
tion of property in the South during ]
the war, at the universal poverty of the ,
planters and of all classes of people, at
the breaking up of the whole previous ■
labor system, at the political aud social ■
disorganization, at the wornout condi-1
tion ot* *1) the implements an‘I S pp 11 -
,nee* of industry, and at the want of
apitftl, the large cottou production
iow is as surprising as it is gratifying,
tut that is not all. The South has
aised this year a vast ftnd an unusual
.mount of corn, wheat and other cere
ilt, with almost everything else neoes
iary to sustain the population, inde
jendent of ontside supplies. Indeed. I
ve should not be surprised if the South
ihould lmvc a surplus of provisions for
ixportation. Besides, there is a fair;
obacco crop, and sugar planting has ,
■evived in Louisiana. India was nev
>r as valuable to England as the South j
,o tliis country. Only think of cotton ;
,lone—that single production—which. |
is an article of exportation, to pay for
:he balance of trade against us and our
labilities abroad, is worth tiiree times I
aver the gold produced in all the States '
ind Territories of the Itepublic, to say
nothing of its immense value to our
own manufacturers.
However much the Southern people
mav be condemned for the suicidal act
of attempted secession and the terrible
war in which they involved the coun
try, or for thc.ir folly since, wc mast snv
they have shown remarkable" energy
and power of recuperation. From the
lowest state of depression and under
i lie greatest difficulties they are rapidly
rising again to wealth. This is char
acteristic of the American people. The
courage, industry nnd perseverance of
the Southerners under the most trying
circumstances should induce among
Northerners forgiveness of tbe past
and make them proud of such fellow
citizens ; for they are of the same race
and the same flesh and blood. When
we speak of the Southern people We
do not exclude the blacks, for they ev
idently- have done much by their labor
to restore the productive interests of
the South ; but it is not to be forgotten
that these ignorant people have hern
controlled by the intelligence, capital
end industry of the white population.
Nothing is wanted to develop the
teeming natural wealtli and varied
productions of the South beyond what
has ever been seen before but peace,
restoration, harmony and fraternal
feeling between the two section of our
common country.
We notice at. the same time with this
reviving material prosperity of the I
South a general revival of business
throughout tiic country, nail both an
abundant supply and activity in tlie
money market. The Fall trade is
opening favorably, notwithstanding
the usual depressing effects of a Presi
dential campaign and political excite-,
ment. The flow of currency to the
IV CSI- ims uiuiuet r*n»ni, ti»u
there having; obtained nearly all the !
money needed to remove the crops, I
and the return tide will soon set in. i
Very soon, too, we shall have the pro- j
Auctions of the South in our market. !
and our merchants and tradesmen may j
expert a considerable demand for |
goods and expenditure of money from !
that section. Altogether the country i
is in the host condition and has the
finest prospect before it as regards its i
material interests. If the Government j
will practice economy, and the politi
cians let the country govern itself, we
shall soon recover from the effects of
the war, the debt will waste away and
hardly be felt as a burden, and a glori- j
oils future will bo opened to the lie- j
public.—Herald.

A Giving Cloud.
AVe have many rumors of the appear
ance of grasshoppers in tho counties |
west of us, within the pa«t month, but,
up to the time of writing this none I
have been seen nearer here than Mans- j
field, in the southern part of Tarrant |
county.
AA e have heard of them at several ;
places on tho frontier—at the Sulphur j
Springs, on the Brazos; in lloodi
county, a gentleman informs us they
appeared in clouds on Monday, the 21st
ult., and ate up every kind of vegeta
tion. AA'heu they first appeared, it was
thought by the campers around the
spring* to be a cloud, and preparations
were made for rain : they made a noise
hi their flight very similar to a storm
of wind and rain; when they came
nearer, however, they began to descend
and covered the earth in every direc- j
lion, consuming all garden stuffs- and
other green vegetation they could find.
The following extract of a private
letter from our former townsman, John
FI. Cochran, Esq., dated at Belknap, on
Hie lfith of last month, describes the
first appearance ot the pests:
‘‘On yesterday, the lath, I saw a sight
which I hope no mortal man will ever
sec again. About 3'olock p. M., I went
to the door, and observing that the
Min, shone but dimity, I looked for the
cause. I saw in the distant west what
I took to lie smoke of an immense fire,
hut on looking closer, I perceived that
it was not smoke, What is it? was the
inquiry of every one, both old and
young. It continued to approach, and
in about two hours came near enough
of moving objects. Nearer and nearer,
dimmer and dimmer the sun shines—
we see what it is—My Lord ! the Egyp
tian plague! From the ground upward,
is far as (lie eye-could see, on account
of their denseness, was an almost solid
mass of living, moving insects—grass
hoppers.
“All who saw the sight agree, for
every square inch of surface over
which they were flying, there must
liavo been no less than one bushel of
grasshoppers. This body of insects
were moving ahead of a northwest
wind. They were some three miles
wide and as long each way as the liori
eoii was to us; this could be such be
fore they appracticd near enough to
distinguish what they were—after they
readied us the view was very limited
on account of the desenees of the mass.
They passed over in a noitheirst direc
tion; still we have millions left of the
first cpniing. This is no exaggeration.
You mnv allow it to Mr. Swindells.
What will become of us?'1
I*. S.— Since the nbove was written
we learn that the grasshoppers have
been seen returning west.
