We learn that Parson Hunter. “Pre
siding Elder of the Methodist Church
Booth,” Ac., was one of the Democratic
challengers at the polls In Princeton
Dallas county, during the late election
We bear that this venerable saint whi
not only a very active partizsn, bul
made himself especially obnoxious tc
the Union men of that county. He it
doubtless a profoundly pious and deep
ly devout individual, whose prospect
for reaching Ileaven is about as Inter
esting and auspicious as that of his Bn
tanic majesty himself.
Old Hunter is undoubtedly a sweet
saintly old humbug. Like nearly ali
the malevolent and rebellious minister!
of She South, he makes up in inalignau
cy and disloyalty what he lacks in meek
ness or Christianity. If his quality ol
religion ever take’s people to Heaven
that abode chonld bo very broad in
-deed.
Ws copy the above extracts from the
T lel. ..«> ... ,,...,.1
for comment, at to show to what greul
end* a man's political prejudices will
lead him. We feel very much like wc
were doing wrong in noticing this low
fling at one of the beet men in out
State ; yet wc cr.uuot help rebuking the
impious, malicious political prejudice
that would cause a thing like the Re
publican man to make so vulgar allu
sion to one of Dr. Hunter’s standing
throughout the whole State. It Is grat
ifying to know that our Presiding El
der’s reputation and character is suck
that these low thrnsts trouble him
about as much as the gnat upon thi
ox1* bora. Whatever'the Republican
may say, wc know Dr. Hunter well
enough to say that all he did, eveu il
-obnoxious to the Union men of hit
county, was perfectly consistent wltl
Christian dignity and gentlemanly pro
priety. We would say for the comforl
of the immaculate editor, of this “sweci
ecentod” journal, if moral excellence
could be gradually attained, a thousand
years might be speut by him in fruit
less endeavor to attaiu the position now
occupied by Dr. Iluuter.
ELECTION.
Notwithstanding the fact that the ltadt
at Little Rock eta in a handsome majority
for the Constitution; we are wnrranled fron
information gathered from all sources, it
the conclusion that the Constitution is de
feated by six or seven thousand. No doubi
every means will be employed by the Ue
publicans for the accomplishment of theii
purposes in the State; already it is on re
cord that the majorities in Jefferson and
Pulaski counties for the Constitution art
greater than the whole number of regis
iered voters ia these counties; yet with
these and similar practices throughout the
t?tate, they are not able by cotinting tlx
Totes polled to make up a majority . Theii
only hope it in counting the votes police
ia the civil box for (''onstitutinn Thii
we do not believe Gen. Gillem w»ll allow
and if not, the poor Rada are in a fix, ant
Price haa given up hii Carpet Rag tot
toon. Of course the Little Rook Repub
iican don’t believe this, but who believe
the Republican.
The Republican ia jubilant ovc
what it cells the majority for the Con
etitntion, and particularly bitter in it:
saliva upon the ex-rebels, as it style:
those who voted against this C'onstitu
tion. Just hold your breeches Mr
Republican, there are others to do tin
counting besides yourself, and they run;
make considerable change in your fig
urea.

The President has accept*! the res.
Illations of Lieutcnant.Colonel Towii
sdtid, of the Eighth United States in
fantry and Brevet Brigadier General
United States Army, Captain James P.
Brownlow, Eigh'li United States cav
alry, and several oilier officers of the
regular army.
General Hancock issued Order No. I
to-day, assutuiug command of the Mil
itary District of the Atlantic, compos
ed of the Departments of the Lakes, t lie
East and Washington.
In the Supreme C’onrt to-day. Asso
ciate Justice Wilson said that amotion
had been made to advance the case of
Magitl and Martin, and the Court had
concluded not to entertain the notiou,
and it was therefore so decided.
This was a case which had several
times been before the court. It was
an nppeal from au order from the Dis
trict Court of Florida, sitting as a Cir
cuit Court, in a criminal case of mur
der, in which it was alleged that the
Court had mi jurisdiction. It was pre
pared to suggest that the remedy, if the
relators are entitled to any, is by a writ
of habeas corpus from this court, thro’
the District Court, sitting as a Crimi
nal Court, and a certiorari under the
judiciary act of 1789. This was the
conclusion of the court, and it remain
ed for the counsel to proceed accord
ingly, If they 6aw proper.
The above is a habeas corpus case
from Florida, the parties having been
convicted of murder, mid involves
points similar to those in the McCur
me case.
Judge Wilson said a motion was
made yesterday by Mr. Black for leave
to argue the McCardle ruse, under nil
aspect to present, in view of the recent
act of Congress. One of the counsel,
Mr. Black, was not in court, but the
conclusion of the court was that if
there was no objection the Court
would bear the argument on Wednes
day. It should have been stated that
Mr. Black, on making the motion yes
terday, said lie did not think the re
cent act of Congress, withdrawing
front tiiis Court jurisdiction iu this
; class of cases, was of any effect. Mr.
Carpenter objected to hearing the ar
'! gument to-morrow, as it was a case of
much importance, and he should like
more time. Judge Wilson asked what
time he wanted. He replied that if the
| subject went over to-morrow, it would
necessarily have to go ovor for this
term. Judge Wilson said he would
let the question stand uutil the counsel
came in. Mr. Sharkey said he saw no
necessity for arguing the McCardle
case any further, and so far as he was
concerned, he should merely like the
privilege of tiling a few authorities for
himself, iu the absence of Judge Black.
| After further discussion between the
{ counsel, Judge Wilson said that us the
counsel do not seem to be prepared,
{ and as the end of the session was ap
proaching, it must necessarily go over
until the next term.

ARer a few petitions Were present
ed. the clmlr was taken by the Chief
Justice, and the impeachment mana
gers and members of the House took
thidr places. The President's counsel
also entered and took their seats. The
galleries were only half full.
Sir. Wilson oll'cred some document
ary evidence, including the Senate res
olution of January 13, and an extract
from the Senate's journal, showing its
action thereon ; also a copy of Stan
ton s commission from Mr. Lincoln,
wudor which, only, Wilson said, .Stan
ton claimed to hold.
Mr. W. J. McDonald was called, and
attested to the notification of the Pres
ident, of the action of Congress, and
also attested to the service of the reso
lutions of an non-concurrence in the
removal of Stanton by the President.
J. XV. Jones, Deputy Marsha! of the
I Supreme Court, sworn, testified that
' he had known General Lorenzo Thom
: as for six years, and had served upon
i him the summons of the District Su
preme Court on t he 21st of February,
i about 11 o'clock at night, and had
| made a return, (which was read.) The
: resolution of the Senate that the Pres
| ident hud no power to remove Stanton
! was then read. E. E. Curry, an ap
\ poiatmeut Clerk iu the Treasury De
I parliuent, was sworn, and testified to
l the form of appointment used in the
1 Department prior to March, 1S(>7.
| Some of the Senators here complained
j of not hearing, and Puller ottered to
en'ni'nil to caihviI u lint )ia (Tiippi^ Itntl
said, but Mr. Evarts said that lie pre
ferred to hear the witnesses himself.
Mr. Stanberry enquired uhat was the
object of the testimony.
Mr. Butler replied Unit it was to
show that after the passage of the Teu
I ure of Office act the President hud
! signed a different form of commission,
1 maue in accordance with said act.
' thereby recognizing its binding force
! and legality.
The witness testified to the charges
| indicated, which were read bySecrcta
; ry Poruey. The words stricken out
| were: “During the pleasure of the
President for the time being.”. The
form of commission for Treasury ap
pointments was also produced, and the
witness testified to striking out the
same words above quoted, and the sub
stitution in their place of the words
“unless the commission be sooner re
voked by the President of the United
States for the time being.”
He testified that General Thomas,
! after exchanging salutations, said to
! Mr. Stanton, “1 am Secretary of War
' ad interim, appointed and authorized
by the President to lake possession of
I this office and Mr. Stanton ordered
him to repair to his room and perform
j his duties as Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral, which he reluscd to do, saving
that he intended to exercise the func
tions of Secretary of War, aud would
receive the mails of the Department.
Mr. Stanton told him that he would do
>o at his peri! ; aud General Thomas
left the room, and witness last saw
him in the room of General Schwcrcr.
[ On a cross examination, by Mr. Stau
[•berry, the witness said that he went
; there to pay a visit to Stanton, and not
; on public business. He was aecompa
i nied by Messrs. Morehcad mid Clark,
j He did not know what their business
, was ; did not state ivliat they went for.
lie was not in the habit of taking mcm
: oranda of conversations, but was pre
pared by having a largo envelope in
j his pocket. No one requested him to
1 tin so. It ntmnlD nil it
i Thomas left the room that Stanton
followed him. Before he reached the
; room he heard a conversation going
ou between Stanton and Thomas; did
not understand what was said ; did not
know where the envelope was ou w hich
lie took the memorandum; it was
probably destroyed, lie said lie went
with Stanton to Schwerer’s room, and
was requested by Stanton to take no
; tiec.
The Commission issued to Mr. Coop
er, Assistant Secretary of the Trearu
ry, Noveilibcr SStli, 1867, was pro
duced.
Mr. Butler, continuing to examine,
asked if the Senate was then in session.
The witness said lie thought not, aud
in answer to answer to another qties
I lion, said: "Mr. Cooper did not quali
j fy under that commission,” and anoth
] er commission was then read.
Mr. Butler then called for the rcad
; ing of the letter of authority given to
Mr. Cooper by the President, on De
cember 2d, 1867.
The witness testified that Mr. Chan
i dlcr resigned, as he thought, die day
, before this letter was issued. On be
: ing cross examined by Mr. Curtis, he
i stated that the date when the change
in the form of Commissioners was
made was the 6th of March, 1867.
i Mr. Van Horne, a member of the
House, stated that he was present at
: the War Department ou Saturday, the
22d day of February, 1868, at two
i minutes past eleven o'clock a. ill., when
, General Lorenzo Thomas demanded of
Mr. Stanton possession of the office of
; Secretary of War. Of the question he
was about to ask Thomas, which was
whether he intended to obey his order
as Secretary of War, Thomas replied
that he did not, and also said (hat he
intended to receive the mails, aud after
wards acknowledge to witness that lie
had said so. Had been at the War
! Department liall'aii hour before Thomas
. came. He was not attended, nor was
! lie urmed so far as witness could see.
Thought there hud been some talking
between Thomas and Stanton iu
Schwerers room before lie entered.
Thought it was of a good uutnred char
acter, and ilia! there bad been some
joking between them.
Walter A. Burleigh, a Delegate from
Dakota!), was then examined.
Mr. St.anhery wanted lo know the
object ot this examination ; whether it
was as to a conversation between the
witness and Stanton.
Mr. Butler replied that It was to
show lhat the intent and purpose of
Thomas was to take |H>ssession of the
War Department by force.
Mr Hlauhery objected to the testi
mony, and tlie objection was sustained
by the Chief Justice.
Mr. Drake said the question should
lie stibiuiilvd to the Senate, and appeal
ed from the decision of the chair.
The Chief Justice said it was his
dutv, by the rules
Mr Drake savl there wai nothing in
the rules to give the Chief Justice that
right. a
Mr. Johnson calre*l Mr. Drake to or
der, on the ground that he rouid not
debate the quest ion.
Tlie Chief Justice arose and said that
as lie, as Chief Justice of the United
States, ua- delegated by the Constitu
tion to preside over a Court of Im
peachment. when the President of tiie
United States was being tried and that
white presiding here he became Presi
dent of the Senate, sitting as a High
Court of impeachment, and when a
point of evidence ot form or law came
before the court, in the first instance
the Chief Justice was the proper per
son to decide it, and then the fieuatc,
I ou its being submitted to them.
At the suggestion of a member, Mr
Butler proceeded to quote from vari
ous cases of impeachment, to show that
the presiding officer of the department
lias no right to decide questions of law
or evidence. Mr. Butier said that the
managers of the House would be
bound band and foot by this decision,
and would be unable io gel in except
by the courtesy of a member of the
Senate.
The Chief Justice Ihen stated that the
point raised was tor the decision of the
Senate.
Alter much discussion the yeas and
nays were taken on a motion to retire
for consultation, resulting in a tie vote,
when the Chief Justice voted in the
affirmative, and the Senate retired at
fifty minutes past twelve p. in.,
Old Ren Wade's l'ollcy.
The last, number of the Lexington
(Ky) Statesman contains a letter from
a Washington correspondent, in which
the writer, after confidently announc
ing that the President “will have to

Radical outrage and oppression, of
Radical wrong and usurpation within
the last few years, that «e cannot be

enormity or villainy they can venture
upon with impunity,
Ben. Wade is the embodiment of
Radical venom and vindictiveness, and
we have Mover doubted that the inta

j only refrained from planting upon
Kentucky the iron heel because they
| were afraid to do it. They hate Kcu
I i ueky because she is Democratic. They
■ thirst to be revenged upon her for the
reason that she condemns the treason
of Radicalism, and remains faithful to
the Constitution,and the old system.
They would subjugate her because she
; clings to the white man’s government.
I They would doubly punish her because
she made no attempt to withdraw from

them with a pretext for reconstructing
her as they are reconstructing the ten

THE hi',* ARC MILLS.
Mr. Editor: Tcrmit me thrmigh tb*
medium of your paper to any that I have
to-day treated myself to a visit to the mills
iu D*s Arc. (Weed by Ten Eyck, Soule &
Co. I ssy treated myself, for it certainly
is a treat for any man to visit tbeso mills ;
ee|<ecially, is it a treat to him who feels a
lively interest in the prosperity aud wel
faro of this portion of Arkansas These
mills are unrivalled in the Stato, and I
dare say in the South or West. The ma
chinery is the best the world uffords, can’t
be beat any where, and it lies been erected
and adjusted by men thoroughly acquaint
ed with their business; everything moves
and acts harmoniously, systematically end
strictly scientifically; end none but an
adept iu thoi science of maebiuery, can do
the subject justice; still 1 feel like saying
something about an enterprise fraught with
so much interest; I even ftel likt the
Queen of Sheba fell whou site visited Sol
omon iu all his glory, and having seen him
and his city; she said she had heard much,
but the half had not been told her. Think
of an investment of $5t',000 at Des Arc,
on the bank of White River, by econotii
crL intelligent, scientific^ gentlemen in a
steam saw mill, plaining mill, shingle ma
chine, iron plainer and lathe machine; and
one of the finest outfits in the way of a
flouring mill any where to be found. Every
thing connected with these mills is of the
heat and most approved style, iiut the
flouring mill and corn mill challenged my
highest admiration, and I fee! at a loss for
language to fitly express my thoughts and
feelings on this particular department.
This building is three and half stories;
: base 30 by 40 feet, with two ruunor*;
burrs 4 foot in diameter, best French im
proved pattern; two separate elevators for
corn and wheat. .4 fine smut mill or ma
chine to relieve the wheat of all smut oi
dust or other foreign matter. The holting
cloth is the finest in use anywhere, being
the double extra heavy, du forth bolting
I cloth. The apparatus for cleaning the
| corn is superb, the corn being elev ated to
l the third story, andouu.-od to pass through
a screen that takes from it all dsst, sand,
! silks and husks before grinding it. The
i machinery for cleaning the wheat is sitn
1 ply complete in every respect—no pains
. or expense has been sparod to make the
I wheat mill in every respect a complete
| success; aud we doubt not that the flour
from the tuiila of Too Eyclt, Soule & Co
; will equal that from any mill in the North,
; East or I lest. Then let the people of this
; portion of Arkansas sow wheat and have
their fine flour made at home—why not?
| Tire saw mill is in full operation and turns
lout Iroin twelve to fifteen thousand feet
per day of the smoothest and best lumber
anywhere to Le found. Those wiahinc
. »
lumber of any hi;; J or quality, can find it
I at this mill at reduced prices—aud if thoy
wish it dressed, tengued mid groved, here
| is the pkco to come cod get it, for the
i plaining mill lurnt out 10,000 feet every
12 hours, or surface! dressing at the rate
^ of 18 to 20 thousand per day If they
I wish shingles of the best kind, here ia the
'place to find them. The proprieters oi
1 these mills me plain, polite, genteel, ac
: commodatirig centlemen, fitly qualified for
I their business and merit the encourage
uient and patronage of the community.
These mills constitute one of the most ini
i nortanl auxiliaries to the growth, dcrel
■ opruent an! prosperity of the town of I)ci
.Iro; and for this reason we extend to the
| enterprising proprietor* our best wi*he»
fur their success. Then let every body feel
: and realize this important adjunct to out
town, aud patronize an enterprise fraught
were Laying our lumber at Memphis, and
: other distant points, st a cost of fifty an J
sixty dollars per thousand; now we get
| belter lumber here at this place at lest
; than half what it then cost us But re
! cently the merchants of lies Arc bought
| corn weal at St. Louie and Memphis, and
i sold it at exorbitant prices to the citizen.
of Dos Arc; now the thing is changed
and in a short time these mills will send
meal ad they have been sending lumber k
Memphis other points. Let the farm
ers in this portion of the country plant
pleuty of corn, and sow more wheat, and
raise more hogs and cattle, and in a short

troops can crush out any rising of re
bels, mid lie says If the law is violated
he will make a severe example of the
ring leaders. These reports are for
the purpose of inflaming the public
mind, aud have no other foundation.
On the SfStb ult., Johu C. Pullen, ol
Nashville, accidentally allot himself.
Expecting the arrival of a member of
his family by the early morning train,
uuil hearing the dog barking violently
in the yard, he took aguu from bebiud
the door and went out to see what was
the matter. During his absence he
cocked the piece. When he again eu
i tered the house he forgot to let dowu
the hammer, and tile jar caused by
dropping the butt of the gun on the
floor, as he was iu the act of replacing
it in the corner, caused the piece to be
discharged, with fatal result.
At Nashville on Friday, Jas, Royal
(colored) entered a grocery at 4 o’clock
p. m., unlocked the till with a key he
' had in his possession, and abstracted
thirty-fivo dollars therefrom, In his
hurry to get out he left in the drawer
his keys, which were afterwards iden
tified by his wit*.
Thu Chattanooga Union says:
: “Among the ‘loyal organs' designated
by Brownlow aud confirmed Dy the
: Senate, to publish all legal advertise
ments, were the West Tennesseean,
j the Sumner County Republican and the
- Wilson County Recorder. We have
j endeavored to learu if there were any
j such papers, but have been unable to

have had their names inserted, probab

RECOHSTRl'CTION.
In the interest and ezfitament conse
quent upon the impeachment trie! of I’res
ident JoliMOn, the subject of Oeonstiuc
tion, Wbiett until lately occupied to so
groat an extenfthe attention of the dmer
lean people. h« in a measure been lost
sight of. Hut let it not be ■nuptwed.
therefore, that the work i* not steadily
progressing. I.ct no one in the North or
West imagine, because lie has thought
little of, or even for a time forgotten re
oon»trwot«m, that the people uf the South
ern States have been permitied to forge!
it, or that it doea not go steadily forward,
if the newspapers are no longer blind with
editorials upon the subject, and if politi
ciaiis have ceu-rd to descant upon it aa the
leading topic of the day, a glance at the
telegraphic columns and correspondence
Of a paper which, like the Courier, con
siders it a duty to furnish a faithful record
of all that transpires in 4he country, alike
what happens to be the engrossing topic
of the hour, and of that which is for the
time almost ignored by tlie public, will
convince the reader tint in their teal lor
the deposition of the President the Radi
cal leaders do not at all neglect tha scheme
devised by them for negroiaing and Radi
calizing the South, which scheme they
hope is to give the party substantia!
strength in the future.
True, things are not going at all point!
just as the Radical leaders would have
them- In Alabama, for instance, the ne
gro constitution has failed of the majority
required for its ratificat on under the re
quisitious of the reconstruction acts; and
in Arkansas the constitution duly promul
gated by the black-aud-tan convention got
together on the congressional plan, hat
been rejected by the actual vote of a ma
jority of the registered voters; while the
indications are also unmistakable that it
Virginia and other Southern States the re
construction constitutions are likely to
meet with a similar fate. For all this
however, the lladical leader* will care lit
tie. nrovidod thev are successful iu then
impeachment scheme. Notwithstanding
tho introduction and pendency of tho Ala
Rama bill in Congress, we greatly doubi
whether any action will he taken in refer
ence to that or any of the other Stales re
jeoting their reconstruction constitution!
until after impeachment is decided
There is an intimate association nnc
connection between the leading measure!
of the Radical party which it is interesting
to truce Thus, the uugro constitution be
ing once formed, if the deposition of th«
President is successfully accomplished, anc
I without resistance or serious remoustrunc*
Ion the part of the people. Congrt“s wil
j not hesitate to euro any defects, a-, tin
1 lawyers would phrase it, in the process o
I reconstruction in the different States, hi
I enacting a sweeping bill declaring each o:
them admitted to the Union without ref
erence to popular ratification or rejection
It will be to the Radicals a matter of m
consequence whether the negro-sup: emac;
constitutions have been adopted or reject
ed under tho provisions of the reconstruo
i tion laws heretofore enacted, if they ler
j themselves safe in declaring the N'late
| admitted under them.
| The great object of the Radical parti
: is to acquire complete control over ^he al
I fairs of the nation, and noth'll-,' is niori
certain tl.an thaf Congress will adopt an;
measures considered necessary to that end
: it is deemed a necessity for the perpetuiti
(of Radical ascendency that negro suprt
I macy shall exist in the Southern States
and, mark onv prophecy, if it is found bj
the success of impeachment that it can bt
done with impunity every one of the tot
1 iS’outhern States will be brought in undet
: the negro governments prepared for then
j in time to support the Radical Presidents
I candidate at the November election.
In view of the very strong probabilit;
I of the President's conviction, wo conies;
i this is no very chcoriug view to take o
tho situation Rut we by no means des
pair. W’e regard it as exceeding v proba
hie that the full electoral vole of the Soutl
| will be cast in this illegitimate and uncon
' stitutioual manner against ns; but, whili
! such is the case, wc still think there is ;
j strong probability of a Democratic tri
j utuph in November.
i The success of their experiment in ini
; peschraent will not mean what the Radi
j cals take it to mean There are causes no
now ncconary io vnumvraiv mot renuc
the American people comparatively indil
ferent to the fate of Andrew Johnson; bui
they intend that there shall he a fair elec
tion next November. And then, if as i
not improbable the Democratic candidal
. succneds in spite of the fraudulent negri
j vote, it will be well; if not, and he is onl;
| elected by the couuting of the constitu
tional electoral vote, that count must am
will be the one held valid.
(^Letter* from Ireland nil derlnri
that emigration from that country is 01
the increase, upward of one tlinusnnt
persons having left Queenstown foi
America during the last week of Feb
ruary. All right, perhaps, if they wil
only’ go to the country and ciil'tivntt
tho soil; but if they staiv in cities, they
will suffer themselves, and cause suffer
ing to others.
