Salsnla) Morning, June 8, 1867.
The Citizen has excited the indigna
tion of its cultivated neighbor, mid
railed forth from him nn editorial in
which an attempt is made to whistle
up courage, and behind blustering as
sertions. hide the tottering basis upon
which he stands. The two dollars
CER annum is the burden of his cry,
and in the great philanthropy of his
soul he tells the people lie will make
pecuniary sacrifices for their benefit,
it is very evident that with him "the
times have communicated a new value
to cents," and with this increase of
value comes the demand for that w hich
his last move was designed to accom
plish. However much wisdom our
"neighboring concern" may possess, its
present necessities have driven it to
the commission of a most egregious
blunder. We certainly have no ob
jection to their conducting business
upon their own plan, so long ns con
sistency marks their course; but, in
tlifs instance, "puerility" surely belongs
to them. That their inconsistency may
be readily seen, wc quote from their
ow n pages:
« * * * • "Wc shall re sort to no inge
nious coup d'etat for the purpose of extending
our circulation, at an immense pecuniary
sacrifice. If we were to reduce our subscrip
tion below S4.00 per annum, there would be
ioo.m for suspicion that our paper would be
short-lived. If others place u low estimate
on the products of their toil, we shall inter
pose no objection, and it is quite natural that
reflecting minds should accept the valuation
as correct.”
Thus it will be seen flint their ow n
words condemn them ; that graduated
in the scale* by them established, they
will be found in the throes of liewspa
jierial death. However much boyish
ness may characterize our editorials,
we have never been guilty of such
gross inconsistency. It is unfortunate
for our toe pinched neighbor that he
took those fanciful flights to first class
. . 7.. rtvl.nnuind cn
much English lust winter, lie estab
lished his own premises, built his own
platform, and if it is not broad enough,
the consequence of its desertion must
rest upon his own shoulders. There
are but two motives that could possi
bly influence a newspaper to reduce its
price at this time : one is the establish
ment of a basis upon present means for
luture income, the other created by
present necessities. The first the Cres
cent disavows, and upon the face of
this disavowal is the admission of the
latter. Again we tell the people we
have no promises to make; the Citizen
by' its consistent eottrse and devotion
to individual interest has established
its permanency, and will he tlie peo
ple's paper when the “prophetic con
cern" rests in the grave forgotten.
, a IbopT
'(Ayr news from Alabama, (ieorgin,
Hissi.-sippi, Louisiana, and the other
States cast of the -Mississippi, is very
encouraging. They have had line sea
sons ami the crops arc doing well, in
southern Arkansas the prospect for
corn is good: wheat looks well, but
we can learn very little about cotton,
in this section the rain lias interfered
materially with the working of crops,
and in many places had stands arc
* 'implanted of. The prospects, how
i vor, arc much better than they were a
fen weeks back, and planters yet hope
for an average yield.
REGISTER.
'Clio press throughout the State arc
earnest in their appeals to the people
to act the part of wise men and regis
ter promptly when the time comes.
As far as we are able to judge, the
people of Arkansas will act unitedly
in this matter. AA'e have said it is (lie
duty of every citizen to take this step.
I pon the action of her citizens depend
the weal of Arkansas. Xone need be
misled in regard to their rights in this
particular; they are clearly defined,
and each individual should determine
for himself whether he will, can. or
•%\llI not register.
DES ARC.
The readers of the Citizen must i \
r use our frequent allusions to the city
nf l)i - Arc. We say cm liccau.se we j
arc incorporated, and have a Mayor
and Counoilmcn of unquestioned Haims
to good ta.-tc, gooil order and good
iagulations. None will disagree from
our assertions that i'es Arc has all the
natural advantages necessary to make
it one of the most important places in
in the Stale or Territory of Arkaiu -.
and perhaps no place ill the West has
improved more rapidly within the last
eighteen months than I'es Ar. There
is evidently a laudable zeal, felt and
evidenced among the citizens and 1ms
ine-s men here to push forward every
ctlort and eiiterpriz.e eidculatd to
build up and improve this place. The
chief obstacle in the way of immediate
improvement in many particulars is
the want of means. Times are lend,
money is scarce, and the Mayor and
Councilman arc doing all they can
with tlie means at their disposal. Itc
ccntly the streets running east and
west, an .I most of those running north
and south, have been cleaned of the
shrubs and undergrowth; the gutters
and drains have been opened, and soon,
we learn, that all the lots upon w hich ,
bushes and shrubs are growing will lie |
cleared oft'and rid of all undergrowth,
thereby rendering lies Are one of the
loveliest, di vert and most beautiful i
places in Arkansas. A\ e take pleasure
in alluding to these facts, audhopethis
public spirit may increase. Wo also
b0pe that no invidious distinctions
may liiul their way to the Couuciliuen
of our city. No partialities or prefer
ences should he shown to any man or
set of men; none should be asked or;
• ranted : no class leg! iation should be
entertained or tolerated in letting < ( u
Iracts for work, or in any privilege !
w.ithiu tin p"'.i1 a' •!»'* Corporation;
to grant. We arc yin ide.ll v in favor
.%■
of tree trade and sailors rights. Let
every respectable man feel that he oc
cupies the common level and common
privileges vouchsafed to every gentle
man. There has been some complaint
of apparent preferences in the orders
and regulations of the Board of Mayor
and Couneilmen : but we are inclined
lo think that this grew out of some
mistaken rumors or hasty conclusions.
We believe the objects and designs of
the Board have been good, and aimed
at the general welfare of the city of
Des Arc. X.
Secretary McCulloch's Views of the
Situation.
“You must not expect that our
monthly statements for the present
year, and the early part of the next fis
cal year will be as satisfactory an for
many months past. The donations or
bounties to soldiers, preparations for
the threatening Indian war. even if
1 the war itself should he avoided, and
the very liberal appropriations of a
miscellaneous character, will cause un
usual drafts on the Treasury: while,
cm the other hand, the general failure
, of the wheat crop, and the partial fuil
1 me of the corn crop last year, the slow
; progress in the restoration of the
Southern States to their proper rela
tion with the Federal (iovernmefit:
the dullness of trade throughout the
country, partly the result of a decrease
■ of production, and partly of the natu
ral reaction which always follows pe
riods of excitement and speculation;
together with reduced taxes, will very
considerably affect the revenue.
This combination of adverse circum
stances may retard a return to specie
payments, and with large issues of
bonds to be made to the I’aeitie rail
road and its branches or divisions, w ill
prevent, for a brief season, a reduction
of the public debt; and may even ren
der a temporary increase of it una
voidable. but will not weaken my faith
in our ability to move oil in the right
direction, at an early day.
On the contrary, 1 believe this clue':
to onr progress will lead to improve
ments in our revenue laws, and to an
increase of efficiency in their execu
tion ; hasten representation in t'on
gross of'the Southern States, ami se
cure greater economy in all brandies
of the public service."
Mr. McCulloch explains the reason
he has not, for some months, reduced
the circulation of United States notes,
viz: “Opposition of a majority in
Congress to immediate contraction;
existence of forbodings of financial
U VIIUU , <11111 1 V/1 « « I II '
mercial cities,injuriously affecting the
legitimate business of the country, ne
cessity of paying or converting large
amounts of interest bearing notes
within the present anil next liseal year,
and failure of certain crops Iasi year,'
as above stated, lie concluded:
You will not infer from what I have
written that 1 ant not hopeful in regard
to our liuani ial future, it has been
my constant aim to manage the nation
al finances so as to aiil in bringing the
country to a healthy financial condi
tion, without, being subjected to severe
disasters, which many judicious tier
sons have supposed the large debt and
derangement of business anil diminu
tion of industry. occasioned by the w al
and redundant currency, would render
inevitable, my faith that this can lie
accomplished, is unshaken.
“The causes which are now opera
ting against us arc exceptional and
temporary. The prospect of a good
crop of winter wheat was never better,
more spring wheat has been sown, and
more corn has been or will he planted
this season than ever before. The peo
ple arc beginning to comprehend
again this important truth, which
seems to have been disregarded ful
some years past, that prosperity is the
result of labor; that industry and
economy arc indispensable to national
as weii as individual wealth. 1 ahull
he grievously disappointed it another
year does not witness a large increase
of industry, of enterprise and of rove-1
line, decided progress toward resurnp- !
tiod of specie payments, and steady
reduction of the public debt.

Mr. Beecher in Defence of the Re
lease of Jefferson Davis.
Some of the good people of Tlymouth
Church brought up the deft. Davis
matter in the prayer meeting la.-t even
ing. Of course it led to many re mark s
and in many veins—some denunciatory
of those who hailed and those who per
mitted the bailing; others palliating,
and yet others justifying the whole
transaction, forgiveness of enemies
was the text from which the subject
originated. .Mr. Hoecher declared very
emphatically thill, under our laws anil
institutions, the keeping Davis a pris
oner without trial and without bail for
more than -ix month; was unjustifiable
and wrong, and that, had his offer been
necessary, lie would not. at any mo
mem iin nisi year, n.ve nesiratcu to
present himself as bail for liis appear
ance. In saving that, lie drew the line
of distinction between (lie actual com
mission of crime by direct acts and the
position, as lie thought Davis occupied
as the representative man of the South.
He also touched upon the dillercnce ■
between vengeance and justice, and
thought that having crushed the rebel-i
lion wo could afford to overlook the
rebellious acts of its leaders just a
easily as tho«e of the follo’wers. but
doing this does not shield either leader
or follower from | tuiisliment for mur
ders. assassinations, or inhumanities
disconnected from mere rebellion. The
interest excited throughout the dis
course was inteu <0, but all passed
pleasantly with the closing In mil.— 1

Gen. Robert E. Lee for President.
The Evansville (Indiana) Dally Senti
nel, on the Hordcr, one of whose editors
was an officer in the Federal army during
the war, writes a double leaded leader in
favor of Gen. Robert F,. l.eo for President
in 1*03.
Wc to day nominate Gen. Robert K
Lee, of Virginia, as our favorite for Presi
dent in 1808.
Gen. Fee stands before (lie world an
American nobleman; a Christian, without
ostentation ; and a soldier without a peer,
living or dead.
We ask not whether this purest and no
blest of living Americans, led forth the le
gions of Virginia in defence ot his native
State in an aggressive war upon its sove
reignty by the Federalist of the North ; or
whether partisan legislation has stricken
down his rights as a citizen in the Fede
ralists system of ooncentralization. We
see only the man, with his spotless purity
of character, nobility of person, true Chris
tian greatness and peerless honor.
Acknowledged at home and abroad as
the greatest and the purest amongst us.
wc deeitf him most amply qualified to ad
minister with dignity and truth the princi
ples for which his illustrious kinsman.
George Washington, fought, and which
the bitter passions of degenerate sons have
so long imperiled.
Gen Robert K. l.ee is the first choice
of a grand army of Democrats in the North,
who are not afraid to urge his claim be
fore the country for that position for
which God especially endowed him. The
timid men of the party may tremble when
his name is sgoken. hut the brave applaud.
Wc believe that Gen. Fee's nomination
by the Democrats of ti e North would lie
hailed with delight by every lover of true
manhood and nobility of character through
out the world.
Who Can Register?
The law says: "All persons who arc

twelve months in the Slate, and who
have not held any olliee under the
Federal Government, or any executive,
legislative, or judicial oilier in any
State, and afterwards engaged in insur
rection or rebellion against the United
States, or given aid and comfort to tire
enemies tHereof.” This is the oatli
required of all men, asking to be reg
istered. It is plain from this, that on
ly those who have held any one of the
offices enumerated above are to be ex
cluded from the right of suffrage for
hnvino' lvi rt iri ltaf ed in the war. or civ
i n aid and comfort to those engaged
therein. And to bring those officers
named closely within the purview of

engaged in the Southern rat: e or giv

individuals who may have been enga

One of Underwood’s Decisions Re
YKKSKD —In the ease of the United States
vs. Joseph Bruin, whoso property was
confiscated and sold under a decree of the
United States District Court sitting in
Alexandria, Judge Underwood presiding,
during the war, on the application of li
S. Miner, hist] , one of the counsel for Mr
Bruin, Chief Justice Chase, on the 22J
ult., granted a writ of error on the follow
ing giounds:
J'irsi.—That the District Court con
demned and so’.d the absolute estate of the
petitioner in and to tiio property, which
judgment it was beyond the power of the
court to pronounce.
SSicoml.—That the condemnation of the
properly was for treason, of which the
party could not be adjudged guilty except
by the finding of a jury.
Third.—That the proceedings were in
admiralty when they should have been
pnon tbe common law side of the court, by
information and not by libel.
Kxhaustion of coat.—ilur known
coal area is estimated at 2 td.O.'ti) square
mill ■, of which only about 170 square
miles is anthracite, yet of 22.0OD.000
tuns mini'll in D i. id.ODO.O'iO were an
thracite. W hen it is considered that
the amount mined represented only the
current demand, or rather that which
was produced for the market, and not
comprise that wasted, lost in pillars,
etc., it may excite some inquiry in re
gard to the ultimate exhaustion of our
anthracite beds. The population of the
entire iast, a portion of the south and
northwest, over 12.000.000. draw their
supplies from the l*enn«ylvaniaanthra
cite fields, and large qiiautitb s are ox
poried to Canada and shipped to other
countries. The natural increase of the
anthracite coal trade is over two and a
half per cent, per annum, so in i8701he
demand will not be less than 16.000,
OJO tuns, probably much more. Ksti
mating an average ol’sixty vertical feet
in thickness, our anthracite fields eon
present rale of increase in demand,
would entirely exhaust them in UtXl
years. Hut about one-half of this is
iost and wasted by our present system
of mining, and should ihe anthracite
trade ever approach the dimensions of
the Knglish coal trade, our supply
would melt away iu about lM> years.— ]

SsJ-An effort lists been made to can
vas- the individual views of the Judi
ciary Committee on the impeachment
quest ion. and, so fur us can be ascer
tained, there is little doubt but what
the Committee will fail to report its
favor of continuing Ihe | rojeet by
asking for a July session to prepare
article* of impeachment. One of the
most prominent members of the Com
mittee has slated within a day or C,vo
that the evidence thus far ad‘vdced, did
not warrant a report lq favor of im
peachment, and that the conclusions
of the Committee will not be presented
to Congress until December. The
evidence will be closed next week,
when the eommitee will adjourn,
doubtless, until December.

passed l>\ two of his opulent friends

Hay* All Radicnldom stands aghast
at the little disturbance w hich occur
red at mobile the other day. We are
told that it is the outrropping of the
old pro-slavery intolerance, and re
quires prompt and vigorous measures.
We are informed, that it is the resur
rection of the secession doctrine, and
must be dealt with summarily and de
risively. We are assured that it is the
rekindling of the smouldering fires of
an unsubdued rebellion, and a howl is
set up that if need bo. these fires must
lie quenched in blood. Such are the
false and malevolent comments made
1 by Jacobin editors and politicians on
the Mobile atl'nir. In what marked
contrast with this manner of viewing
a comparatively unimportant local dis
turbance. was the reception by the
same parties of the information, a few
days since, that a disturbance of equal
or even greater extent had occurred at
Brownsville, Tennessee. 111 the latter
ease brickbats w ere freely used. Over
a hundred pistol shots were fired. The
number of people wounded was not
less than twelve or fifteen. Why is it
that the Radical press, teeming as it is
witli comments upon the Mobile dis
turbance, is silent upon tbe Browns
ville di-lurbanoc '{ Tbe whole expla
nation of the apparent inconsistency,
lies in the fact that at Brownsville the
riotous proceedings were confined to
! members of the Radical party—occur
red. in short, in a mixed Radical con
versation of whites and negroes. Fur
ther comment is unnecessary.—[Louis
ville Courier.
Kf!i_Tlie Radicals are making extraordi
nary efforts to convert the Southern
people to the policy of enfranchising the
negro, and placing the leading white men
in subjection. What use is there, or
rather what is the need of wasting time
and money in doing this when the same
end can be reached by a simple act of
Congress, enforced by the bayonet. Since
the Southern people arc not allowed the
exercise of free will, there can he no use
for discussion among them on political sub
jects. Sheridan and Sickles, Griffin and
Mower, are the proper instruments to use
in the South, not to enlighten, but ‘to
subject them, as the Radicals moan to do.
