DES ARC, ARK,, JAN. 26, 1867,

A Loot at Homo.
While Congress is making every ef
fort to keep us out in the cold and de
prive us of nil national rights, it is
wisdom for us to look at ourselves am!
our circumstances, and see if they can
not he bettered by individual exertion.
As a State perhaps Arkansas is as,“well
to do*’ as any in the South, and cer
tainly, than her, there is no State more
willing to do her all to restore harmony
and peace, and quiet the discordant ele
ments. Tleing denied by the power
that be, the right to participate in the
settlement of those great questions that
shake this once mighty nation to it*
very centre—.there is nothing left for
us to do hut take care of ourselves the
best way we can. Wc have a State
Government, and upon that govern
ment depends our prosperity—there
fore, let it be wisely administered, lint
this is wide of the mark. In looking
at home, wc find many improvements
that might be made for the benefit of
the people, first of which is an improve
ment of our means of education, so far
as is in our power ns individuals. True
our Legislature has had action upon
this subject, and rendered some of the
evils of the old system ; but individuals
could do much more in building up
and establishing good schools, that
would become a great nucleus around
which the more intelligent class of peo
ple that have been driven from eastern
homes by radical intolerance would
settle. If the proper steps be taken by
her people at this time, Arkansas would
undoubtedly soon be the most pros
perous State of the South, and no step
is so important as the one we have men
tioned. Next in importance—as many
of the best lauds are thrown into mar
ket, wc should improve the roads, build
bridges, open up communication with
the different markets, and thereby en
hance the value of lands, while we in
vite a healthy moral citizenship. Too
much has been thought and said about
our relations with the Federal Govern
ment, and not enough about our rela
tions to each other. It is evident that
we are not soon to be restored to our
rights in the glorious Union (?) but
who cares; we have rights that all the
Rump Congress of the world cannot
take from us, the right to help each
other: the right to do all wo east to im
prove our individual condition; the
right to do whatever will conduce to
the moral and intellectual advantages
of the section in which wc live. Let
■ us then cease to cry after our rights in
the* Union, and exert ourselves in the
exerci-e of those rights which are in
udinissably ours—chief among which
is the right to do good.
jjgg- It is hut justice that we should
return our thanks to the mauy friends
of the Citizen for their hearty support
and endeavor in our behalf. Our sub
scription list is rapidly increasing, and
if it continue at its present rate, long
before tiie year is out, wo will be able
to say we have the largest circulation
in the State. That we feel compliment
ed by this manifestation of approval, is
needless to say. That wo will labor to
retain the good opinion of the many,
who have signified their appreciation
of our efforts they may be assured. Our
aim has been to make the Citizen the
people’s paper. A paper worthy the
name and the price. In ibis our pa
trons say we have been successful. I) e
shall continue the line marked out in
the beginning of our enterprise, resting
our hope of success on our faith in fhc
appreciation of the people.
The election for Commissioner
to locate the county sent came oh on
Monday last with the following results :
White Rivet* township, Hedgpcth 1L4;
Robinson 114 ; Kirk GO. Pigeon Roost,
Hedgpcth G4; Kirk 28; Robinson 28.
The other townships we have not heard
front, but the indications are that Hedg
peth, Robinson and Kirk arc elected.
THE SCEOOLHOUSE.
Soutebpdy has remarked or written
that a constant drop wears away a
stone; and we are half inclined to sub
scribe to the saying. Our town is dai
ly increasing in population; houses are
going up as if by enchantment, and
everything external would suggest t" a
stranger that Dos Arc is fast improving
in all the requisites and iudispeusables
of an industrious, thrift}', enterprising
and public, spirited people. Our
churches have undergone some im
provement, and are now accommoda
ted to the reception of church-going
people ou soft, sunny days, and occa
sionally at night if the air is not too
cold and searching. But let a stranger
prospecting around visit our beautiiul
location for a city, and see the number
of children ensconced in diflerent
shapes of houses in and about our city,
we mean for him to visit the interior
and suburbs of Des Arc on some
warm and pleasaut day when the chil
dren cau safely venture out of doors,
and count faces or noSes, and then ask
him if the prospect is 1'avorabie for a
poor pedagogue in uud around this
place, and surely he would say yes
But ask him after he Las closely, ami
jpinutely surveyed and examined the
town, if he noticed any domes, cupaloi
or spires proudly mounting upas test!
luonials of scats of learning, or iudicei
pointing to the original source ol'ligh
and knowledge. We have dry good
•torus, clothing stores, produce am
•ominissioii house*, drug stores, drink
■Ktl: Z
i;ji ’—- .. :r.i i me
ling saloons, and every other kind of
J business houses in abundance; and
j plenty of children and more being
borr. every day, and yet Dcs Arc is too
poor to build even one school house ol
the most ordinary kind. If we were
to advocate or even suggest the propri
ety or possibility of building tip a sub
stantial male and female college in
Des Arc, wc Would be afraid that our
! neighbors and townsmen would think
, that wc were visited with monomania
on the subject of education. We are
told that the ‘gocid people of Austin
J have subscribed some eight thousand
i dollars to build tip a good substantial
j high school there, and 'it. speaks vol
umes for the good taste as well as good
! sense of the Austin people. At Hick
ory Plain there is a line flourishing
, school that is an ornament and a credit
to the noble spirit of that people in fa
vor of education. But turn your atten
tion where you may and you find evi
dences of a spirit of enterprise abroad
among the people ; a disposition to ed
i uente and develop the powers of mind
in the rising generation, and why in
: the name of reason and common sense,
j and common pride, do wc not bestir
I ourselves in furtherance of a cause so
vitally important to the immediate in
, terest and welfare of it town so adyan
! tageonsly situated as Dos Arc? (Jo to
' the business-men and citizens of Des
Arc, amt ask them to subscribe to the
j building of school houses, niul listen to
the poor, sickly, sentimental excuses,
j They have ail suffered so much by the
| war, have lost everything, have been
entirely broken up, suffered more than
everybody, but would like to do some
thing to help build up a school house
in Des Arc, if able ; but ain't able to
buy meat and bread. Watch these
Same whining, suffering poor fellows,'
when they go to the clothing store,1
saloon, or billiard table, money is plen-j
ty, nothing said ot war or its unholy!
influences. Such is the consistency of
many in the city of Des Arc—for some
will pesist in'calling it a city—and wo
have money to meet all emergencies
except a school house, and strange to
say, it is deemed throwing money
| away to give it for such purposes, and
| men calling themselves friends of (he
, city of Dos Are thus act. There is not
1 one-half dozen men in Des Arc that do
! not spend more* money for fine dress
| ing and sumptuous living on them
selves and families than they did be
: fore the War. It is perfectly astonish
I ing that everybody was broke up ; men
that never were worth live cents lost
| thousands. O, what a scape goat this
war has been; all the errors and sins
; of a miss-spent life are piled upon the
! war. X.
COMMUNICATED.
Mu. Editor It is understood that
we are to have but one mail each week
| from Memphis above Duvall's 151 uIf, or
iu other words, wc hack woods people
! up White Hiver are to have but one
! mail each week ; that is, at D„es Arc,
Augusta, Jackson port, Ihitesville, etc.
j Why was (his arrangement made?
Who were the high contracting parties
[ to Ibis agreement, and for what purpo
ses was this done? It is understood
(liat certain individuals in certain lo
'calities (between Little Koek and
INPbmphis) found it to the interest of
i the Government, or at least to them
selves, to represent (or rather to mis
! represent) that it would not pay (them)
, to have the mail carried twice' a week
above the IIuiff ; and in orfrer to sat
isfy the Government of this important
i fact, certain disinterested individuals
took upon themselves, or himself, to
; make the pilgrimage to Washington,
! and. then and there present the import
ant fact to the proper authorities, to
| give to the people above Duvall's,
j Bluff a mail once a week : and to the
i pure and immaculate Bluflites a daily
| mail, or as often as Uncle Sam could fa
vor them. They of course merit supe
rior facilities and favors from the
! Government, as they have so many in
' stitutions of learning and published
newspapers, churches and business
houses at the Bluff;-as they have a
railroad running nearly through the
town; and White river bends beauti
fully and gracefully to touch the med
ium Mecca. The Bluff is blos.-ed with a
variety of hacks or casts, and should
have daily mail access to and with the
| literary and commkkctai. world. He
was a provident fellow who saw these
things and the vast interest to accrue
to the Govermrul by stopping the ex
pense of having the mail carried up the
river above the Bluff twice a week;
' the fellow was posted in commercial
statistics, and reported the many thou
sand bales of cotton and other pro
ducts of the country round about the
| centripetal city daily coining in. But
how has the contract recently made to
have the mail carried daily from Mem
phis to the Bluff thence to Little Bock
; been carried out,? Have these Simon
i pure, high contracting parties carried
out in good fiiith the contract, or have
,they iuglofipusty backed down? We
speak of these things because we feel
that an Intedlional wrong lias been
' perpetrated by certain ones, that, for
| the present, we will not name—that an
injustice and wrong has been done us,
through uncalled for misrepresenta
tions, the result, perhaps, of two things,
|jealousy and an undying thirst for
greenbacks. We. happen to kuow
when, how, and by whom the wires
! were pulled, and at the proper time we
may tind it to be our duty to unmask
! the thing, For wc claim it as a mat
ter of right to have two weekly mails
up White river, from Memphis toJaek
> sonport, and it matters not if other
1 people have daily, or even tri-daily
• mails if they will tell the truth and

Jlit. Editok:—Allow mo to suggest,
I among the many things of importance
| to our community, nothing is more de
serving, than the Cemetery : which is
to-day, nnd has been for a year or more
standing wide open ; the gates having
i been torn from their hangings, and (he
1 enclosure in many places lying on the
ground. The dilapidated condition of
the fencing, has permitted the stock
from tho commons to congregate on
the grounds, and destroy, in value,
more grave ornaments, than It would
require to enclose the grounds with a
substantial fence. I am unwilling to
.believe that there is on the part of the
public functionaries or private citizens,
intentional neglect. But it seems that
other objects, probably less descrying,
have had precedence. And as it is
“never too late to do good w.hy not
appropriate a sufficiency of the surplus
in the treasury of the city. I am cred
itably Informed there is quite enough
to do the necessary repairs unappro
priated. M ould it not boa worthy ex
penditure of the money to apply it in
this Way? Will our authorities heed
Die suggestion. It hue been said “Geor
gia has behaved nobly in caring for her
honored dead.” May it not soon 'be
said of Des Arc, “she remembers her
lost and loved ones.” Mevis.
KENTOCKT I!EJECTS THE CoNSTmmON
al Amendment.—The .constitutional
amendment, was, on Tuesday, rejected
by a decisive Vote In the Kentucky
Legislature—24 to 7 in (he Senate and
02 to 20 in the House. The minority
vote may appear large to those not
acquainted with the circumstances tin
tier which uic present legislature was
elected, and the fact that it docs not
now fully represent the political feeling
of the State. Referring to the vote in
favor of the amendment the Louisville
Courier, of Wednesday, says: “This
vote is a fair test of the Radical strength
in the Legislature, but we wish our
friends abroad to bear in mind (he fact
that the present Legislature was elected
when military tyrants stitied tiic popu
lar voice, and “General Orders” super
seded the election law of the State.
Men who owe their election to military
Interference—to bayonets which were
arrayed to drive off ballots—cannot of
course be expected to represent the
sentiments of the honest masses, or to
show bv their votes any respect for tlie
will of the sovereign people. The war
power of a Northern party unscrupu
lously wielded put them in their places.
They feel that they owe nothing to the
people of Kentucky, and if they show
a servile fidelity to the masters they
serve it is the highest virtue we can ex
pect such men to exhibit.”
