§*“Coming events cast their shad
^ oefore them,’- is a proverb as trne
at it is old. The downfall of party liae :
always, in accordance with political
history, been proceeded bv corruption, |
, fraud and desire for individual emoln- j
I ment. The prosperity of a government
I always, and in every particular, de
pends upon the purity characterising
Its administration ; and party success,
i f durable, must bo based upon honesty
of purpose and purity of motive. In
our own country we have a strong il
lustration of this proposition. The
Federal, Whig, American and Demo
crat!: parties have all failed, because
of the corruption that had crept into
their ranks—which corruption cost a
nation almost, her life. From this po
litical fraud and high-handed struggle
for power, has ariseu the woes of the i
present. A continuance iu this course
by that party known only by its cruel
ty, has heaped upon ns the unjust laws
under which we now groan and sweat.
That we are in the hands of a vindic
tive majority, whose disposition is to
do us ill, is a truth that comes home to
every man belonging to tliat proscribed
race, the South: but that this power
will continue forall time to control and
govern our country, is a proposition
admitting much doubt; not that we
hang our hopes of deliverance upon the
Democracy of the North, whoae clarion
notes of victory have recently rang out
upon the Atlantic shores. But that we
do look for a time, an era in the histo
ry of this government, when principle,
not men, shall be the agent in the up
building. We have much faith in the
Democracy of the North, not aa a par
ty, but as an agent, whose power shall
bring about a new order of things—a
power that shall, with the strong arm

binds tbi*. our country, to the heresies
of radicalism. Thus wc accept the late
victories of the Democratic party as
the shadow of that which must one day.
sooner or later, come—the triumph of
principle and downfall of radicalism.
When this spell shall be broken, we be
lieve that there shall arise a new party,
whose ideas of government ahall be
based upon a knowledge of the failures
of the past, and in this party is the hope
of the country. Whether it will be pu
rified in its present form, and as a re
public move forward to greatness, or
its identity be lost in the arms of time,
it yet to be revealed.
M^*Tlie prospects for an exciting
time in Tennessee, are good. Eth
eridge, the Conservative candidate for
Governor, has commenced the canvaes.
Bo bold and fearless ns be has Wen, so
strong in opposition, and so powerful
In argument. The radicals fear him,
and arc threatening violence, in order
to intimidate, and force him to aban
don the canvass. On the other hand,
notwithstanding the threats of Brown
low and liis militia. the Conservatives
are determined that their candidate
■hall be heard.
Crops.—Our exchanges from every
point, report the weather rather cold
for the growing crops. In Tennessee.
Alabama. Georgia and Louisiana, the
prospect for a good corn crop is fairf
though it will be a little backward.—
Cotton is considerably damaged, and a
fear is expressed that but a poor crop
will be made. Wheat is looking well,
and a foil yield anticipated.
MV* A correspondent of the Mem
phis Bulletin, says: “Two hours’run
Drought us to Des Arc, two hundred
and ten miles above the month. This
is a flourishing, neat looking town,
considerably above overflow*, and situ
ated on a level plateau. The country
back is improving rapidly. New set
tlers are coming in every day. The
climate is healthy and inviting. We
did not remain long enough to gather
information. Major It. C. Lanford, of
the house of Walt & Co., came on board
a few minutes and reported trade very
dull just now. The farmers are all
very busy with their crops. The Ma
jor looks ns young and gay as when lie
followed the banner of Hardee, dress
ed in liis brass buttoned gray, a few
years ago. The Rev. J. L. Dentou, au
able and eloquent gcntlemgn. runs the
Des Arc Citizen, once a week, here,
and turns out a sprightly sheet.”
The paper spoken off is the Crescent,
and not the Citizen.—[Des Arc Cres
cent.
Neighbor, you ought not to have
treated us in that way. Why were you
not satisfied with the “able and elo
quent gentleman.” and willing to let
ns have the “sprightly sheet.” We are j
not vain enough to believe that this |
VmSh nn-ivlml oniTocnniwlpnt nionnf in I
call ns “able and eloquent;” but then
he might have meant our paper. Any
how, we are willing to divide the com
pliment—give you the ability and elo
quence, while we take the sprightly
sheet; or, you take the paper, and give
ns the other thing. But we don’t think
you tote fair, wanting it all. But then
you were just in letter, while yon did
not intend to be in spirit. We accept
your statement, that your paper is
spoken off—off to far that it ia not
mentioned.
-The Nashville Gazette saya: Col.
Sam. Tate, of Memphis, is said to be in
Washiugton trying to persuade the
President to-send United States troops
to this State as an offset to Browulow's
militia. This will never do. We'must
not declare, even by implication, that
we need troops here. Such a confes
•ion would be,as false as it is weak.
Two wrongs eau never make a matter
right. Besides, the people of Tennes
see are quite able to manage ten thou
sand “meluh,* if they become obstrep
erous.
—The N. Y. Times announces that j
the Republican party is hopelessly di- j
~ - Tided, and at the Presidential election1
of neat year there will be a Radical
candidate nominated by the Radicals,

Will You Register? •
We are pleased to notice (say* tlie
Little Rock Conservative,) that many
of the papers throughout t he State are
urging upon all who arc opposed to the
destructive doctrines of Radicalism,
the importance of effecting an imme
diate and thorough organization.—
Noarly every journal in the State lias
taken decided ground in favor of reg
istering and taking part in the coming
elections—the “masterly inactivity"
policy appears to have but few admirers
in Arkansas. An efficient organization
is indispensable to success. Our oppo
nents are already prepared for tlie
struggle ; but net withstanding the “aid
and comfort” they expect to derive by
managing the registration business se
ss to advance party interests, it is with
in the power of the conservative men
of Arkansas to control the affairs ol
their .State.
If it is fair to infer that tlie registra
tion of voters will be conducted in out
State, as it lias been in Louisiana, w*
may expect that the effort will be mad*
to exclude all who have had anything
to do with tlie Confederate service.—
Tin’s can only be done by an arbitrary
and unjust construction of tiiclaw : but
such lias been the case in Louisiana,
and it may lie so here. We can only
make the tight with such weapons as w*
nre allowed. Let every man then wbe
can register, resolve to do so.
As there is some misapprehension in
the minds of many of our citizens, as to
who are allowed to register, we repro
duce the oath to be taken by each voter
when be offers for registration. It will
be seen that no man, no matter what
service lie may have rendered tlie Con
federacy, is disfranchised, unless he was
a member of Congress, or an officer ot
tlie United States, or a member of a
State Legislature, or an executive or a
judicial officer in any State. These,
and having committed a felony, are the
sole disqualifications ;and when a voter
swears that h« is uot disfranchised for
participating in the rebellion, ho sim
ply oays that he held none of these of
fices prior to the war or if he did tliaf he
did uot subsequently engage in any act
of hostility to tiie United States.—
The oath required is as follows :
I,-, do solemnly swear (or af
firm,) in tlie presence of Almighty God,
that I am a citizen of the State of-;
that I have resided in said State for
- months next preceding this day,
and now reside in the county of—
or the parish of-. in said State, (a.i
the case may he;) that I am 21 years
old ; that I have not been disfranchised
for participating in any rebellion or
civil war against the United Slates, nor
lV\*s t'al Ait v /ii>mm]t toil a ivalsist 41. a I a>»a
oftnr State or of the United States;
that t have never been a member of
any State Legislature, nor held any ex
ecutive or judicial office in any State,
and afterward* engaged in insurrection
or rebellion against the United States,
and given aid or comfort to the ene
mies thereof; that I have never taken
an oath, as a member of Congress of the
United States, or as a member of any
State Legislature, to support the Con
stitution of the United States and af
terwards engaged in insurrection or
rebellion sgsinst the United States, or
given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof; that I will faithfully support
the Constitution and obey the laws of
the United State*, and will, to the best
of my ability, encourage others so to
do. So help me Cod.
If every conservative man in the
State who can take the alioVe oath, will
do so, there will be no danger to be ap
prehended from the little band of ad
venturers who prate so much about
their excessive “loyalty.” We have
yet to learn that a ijian who was forced
by the draft to fight for the Starry
Flag, or one who professed devotion to
both sides, is any more loyal or a truer
friend of the Union, than he who siiared
the fortunes of the Confederacy, and
when the war ended, laid dowu his
arms ard returned to his allegiance in
good faith.
The orders for registration will prob
ably be issued soon, and when they are
let no man fail in the duty he owes to
himself and to his country.
The fallowing protest is being
circulated for the signature* of mem
bers of tlie General Assembly aa it can
not reach every Legislator, it will re
main at Little Jtoek to b« signed by
proxies of all wishing to anex their
names to it. It is as follows:
Whereas, E. O. C. Ord, Brevet Ma
jor General, commanding, etc., did on
the Kith day of April, 1807, direct Isaac
Murphy, as Governor of the State of
Arkansas, to notify and inform the
members of the “ provisional legisla
ture ” of said State, that their reconve
ning is incompatible with the recent
act of Congress called the “ reconstruc
tion act, ” and that they will not re-as
semble ; and whereas Isaac Murphy, as
such Governor, did, on the 2(ith day of
April, 1807, publish v> order whereby
it was ordered, among other things,
that such legislature was dissolved.
Now, while we the undersigned, mem
bers of such legislature, will obey the
orders of Gen. Ord, and will not at
tempt to meet again as a legislature,
ret we respectfully, but earnestly pro
cst against any legal right or power
n Gen. Ord to prevent the meeting of
such legislature, and that his order to
hat effect we claim te be unconstitu
tional and illegal; as also do we claim
he order of Isaac Murphr, based on
die requestor direction of Gen. Ord as
iforesaid. We claim and insist such
legislature was and is, in no sense
‘provisional," but the legislature of
the Stats of Arkansas, created and elec
ted according to the forms of law and
the constitution, and as such had a
l ight to meet when it did, and has the.
right still to meet at the time to which

The Impeachment Question.
The New York Times says: “This
whole impeachment movement is an
outrage and scandal. It has been set
on foot in utter contempt of every
principle of justice, and is prosecuted
without the slightest regard to person
al rights or common decency. Usually
an impeachment or indictment of any
sort proceeds upon definite allegations
of crime; but. here it is set on foot to
see if possibly some charge of crime
may not be made. Usually notestimo
my is admitted but that which is per
tinent to the case, and from actual wit
nesses of the acts alleged to have been
committed; but here the wildest and
most nbsurd hearsay is taken as evi
dence, and no regard whatever is paid
to the legal maxims which hold all
inen innocent until they are proved
guilty. The whole a flair is an unscru
pulous, malevolent crusade against the
President, having its origin in political
»nd personal disappointment, and for
its object the accomplishment of party
purposes, attainable in no other way.
-Robert j!"Walker is authority
for t’ c statement that Russian America
was offered to the United States under
Polk's administration for nothing and

York says that the failure of the fur

Washiwutox, May 15.—A short ar- i

yesterday, on the pending bill on the

the Arkansas Treasurer, is urged as ad
ditional ground for interference of the
Court, and that officer had threatened
to carry it out in Mississippi. The at

Richmond, May 13.—The United

morning, a military guard was placed

present and about fifty negroes. About
11 o'clock Mr. Davis was brought in
and took bis seat near the prisoner's
box with General Burton and the Uni
ted Stales Marshall. A servant accom
panied him. Mr. Davis being seated
near an open window, remarked : “ It's
a little cold, isn't it?” He was then
removed to a seat near liis counsel in
front of the Judge.
General Burton then returned the
writ of habeas corpus, which was read
ami the Judge complimented General
Burton on obeying the law, and reliev
ed him of the custody of Mr. Davis,
and the Marshal immediately served
on him a bench warrant *o answer the
Norfolk indictment. Mr. OTIosior then
spoke, of Mr. Davis’ long imprison
ment and feeble health, and asked that
he he bailed, t’lieir being no opposi
tion on the part of the prosecution, hia
bail was fixed at $10,000.
The Judge announced hia readiness
to accept bail, and stating at the same
time that the responsibility of the de
lay in bringing the ease into court rest
ed on the Government and uot on the
District Attorney. He also said that
half the amount of the bail should be
given l.v persons residing in the State
of Virginia. The securities then rame
forward, Horace Greeley being among
the first, followed by Mr. Schell, of
New York, and Mr. Jackson, of Dbila
adclphia, and ethers.
A number of gentlemen residing In
Virginia oflered their names. Mr. Da
vis was then congratulated by several
friends, but there was no demonstra
tion or noise of auv kind, and after
giving bail to appear at thr'Novewher
term of the Court, Mr. Davis was ta
ken in a coach to the Spotlswood
House.

General Orders No. 8.
To preserve health end prevent as
far as possible the prevalence of epi
demics in the .States of Arkansas and
Mississippi during the coming summer,
the following regulations arc pub
lished :
I. Non-resident persons will not lie
allowed to congregate in towns or vil
lages, but will be encouraged to remain
at their homes or places of labor.
II. For all garrisoued towns or in
places where there may be an agettt of
the bureau of refugees, freedmen and
abandoned lands, weekly inspections
will Iw made by a medical officer of the
army, or an officer of the bureau, of all
rooms and buildings occupied bv ref
ugees, or freedmen, or their ts mi lies.
These inspections will have special ref
erence to cleanliness and overcrowd
ing, and wherever filth may be found
to have accumulated, or overcrowding
to exist, proper steps will promptly tie
taken to remedy the evil; firstly, by
causing the premises to be proerlv po
liced hv the occupants; seeoudly, by
establishing camps under the supervis
ion of a military otlicer, to which tiie
surplus inhabitants may tie removed
whenever their number is sufficient to
warrant such a measure.
HI. In each principal town, where
not already in operation, a hospital will
be established, as soon as the necessity
arises, for tlie treatment of the desti
tute and homeless. For this purpose,
where they can be obtaiimcd. suitable
buildings will be selected and hired;
elsewhere, one or more hospital tents
will be used.
Private physicians will be employed
by contract to attend these hospitals,
and will procure the necessary bed
ding and medicine by requisition made
on the surgeon in chief of the bureau
of refugees, freedmen and abandoned
lands in their respective stutes.
IV'. Hoards of health, wherever
they exist in the above named states,
and county officers, arc requested to
co-operate with the inspecting or com
manding officers above named, by fur
nishing them information and making
such suggestions as may conduce to the
preservation of the general health.
V. Military commanders, where
there are garrisoned towns, and the as
sistant commissioner^ of the freed
meu's bureau elsewhere, are charged

The War Question.
By a dispatch from London of the
Sih instant, we are informed that after
the organization of the l’eace Congress
in that city, it was found not only to he
n formal meeting of the great power
representatives, but one at which the
Luxemburg question was discussed
with a desire to bring the difficulty be
tween France and Prussia to a speedy
termination. Tbe proceedings are all
kept secret until the close, but it is
known, however, that Francois willing
to accept the neutralization of Luxem
burg and tbe dismantling of that fort- !
ress. Prussia is not disposed to con- j
sent to this, unless a.l the great powers ,
now represented in the Congress give j
a guarantee of the settlement. Eng
land hesitates to give this guarantee, |
and favors the annexation of Llixem- ]
burg to Belgium. The session lias ad
journed to Wednesday, to enablo the
representatives to communicate with
their respective Governments. Mean
time, war preparations on a formidable
scale are going on, on both sides.—
Count Bismark, in conversation on the
aspect of affuirs, at the Congress on
Tuesday, declared that the situation is
now more serious than ever.—[St. Louis

I (MARY CASEY) hereby certify that I have
been afflicted with Anchilosis, or Stiff Joint,
for over five years, and had employed the best
of phy.sicians that could be procured in this
city: Over one hundred physicians have, dur
ing the last five rears attended my leg, none
of whom ever Uni me any good. Having learn
.ed of Dr. J. A. Rouselaux, at No. 314 Jeffer
son street, between Eight and Ninth, I applied
to him at his office, and am now receiving his
treatment, and am fast recovering the use of
my leg. 1 would recommend all persons la

at times to have a boy accompany me; I tried
several Doctors without benefit; having heard
of Dr. J, A, Rouselnux. and of his previous
success, I applied to him and can see very
well now; not only did he improve the condi

1 would recommend all persons to give the
Doctor a fair trial, for 1 believe he will do
wb{it he says, aud believe him to be a perfect
