We have been repeatedly asked of
late, what we thought of the militia,
and what the probability was t>1 their
being sent to Prtirie rnnnty. While
we will not attempt to give all ou>
'thoughts concerning tide new creation
a few remarks by w.ay of comment may
not be inappropriate. Wo do not. nor
could we under any circumstances
think this militia law, either just nr ex
pedient. The ends accomplished by it
are neither those of mercy, law. justice
or policy. Whatever may have been
the intention of the originator of this
law, their can be bn! one opinion con
cerning it now ; and that is that ilo
-class of citizens are benefited by it.
and no good i» accotnp ished for any
one. We are not sufficiently extrem
dn our views to hold that the'State of
ficials arc not bound to protect proper
ty and life within fhe border* of the
State. We do not hold that the many
-offences committed against the 8iate.
butl agiinst. humanity, of late, should
go unpunished ; but we do hold that it
is unjust to cunt' a whole community*
to suffer from the presence of a host o'
strangers, because in that community
Juxtice and law have been violated.
We have law, a id men to execute that
•aw. and every citizen i«. or should be
sufficiently interested in the protection
of life, property and order in his sec
tion to stand by the officers in the per
formances of their duty. While we
are as much opposed to the party that
now rules our State, as any min wi h
in her borders, we are sufficiently idea
tifird with Arkansas, to honestly de
•sire her prosperity, atm we are turiHer
willing to obey ourselves, ami to coun
cil in others, obedience to tlie law, no
matter from what political parly that
law may coble, tuoro than this, when
'it shall bu foreseen that the force ot
arfns is necessary to enforce the law
and to protect the citizens of Prairib
county we are willing to bear irm* for
that purpose.and thus relieve ourselves
Trom the presenco of tile militia ami
the many evils consequent thereupon.
Tliis would be our course, and we be
lieve there are hundreds of good elii
ecus in the “spotted" counties that
would in tliis way uphold the gov
ernment. It has heretofore been the
policy of iudiv.duals and parties to at
tempt the perpetuation of power by
•merciful means and a grateful policy to
Ward those in whose hands the power
was held. If (iov. Clayton, if the ie
publlcnn p r y are in ear icst in their
proclaimed gtiod intention toward our
State, we think the better policy would
’be tt» trust the people move and force
less. There is not iu the party one
man who thinks to guage the mass o.
the people by the few violators of law
that are in our midst. The people art
good, they do mean well, they will
support the government, and why
should not they be trusted. Is it not
time to lay aside all prejudice, to for
get ail differences 'that may exist be
tween us, aud tor individual interest
and the good of the State lab «• togeth
er. The Republican party is not
strengthened, the law is not .sustained
nor the prosperity not enhanced by this
militia law. We write thus, not Ihat
we apprehend that these unwelcome
"visitors will be quirtfred in frame
•county; but because we led tor the
people in those counties ill which mar
tial law lias been declaim!.

Mr. Drake said tie understood that

Tlie President said that under the

Mr. Sherman Slid that In* hoped
such an unusual cause, ns to re cr a
Senators credential* to n committee,
would not be taken, unless sumo good
reason for it slum d be shown—some
reason affecting Hie stains ol the State
or the Senator elect—and no such rea
son appeared in the case. The extra
ordinary conduct of the white members
of the 'Georgia Legislature were as
strongly Condemned by the Senator
elect from that Stale as by the Senator
Horn Missouri, and lie hoped when
admitted to do something to correct
that action, hut in the meantime
he claimed his seat a* a Senator elected
by a large majority of tlie Legislature

and as a man who had been loyal all
through tin* war, and who Was now
prepared to take the oath, and lie
should not be held responsible for tin
condll'-t of a majority ot the Legisla

and which lie strongly condemned.
Me. Drake said lie had no obiections

why the ST AH M AC HNK should be prefer

I. Their gre.it simplicity.
It in* impossible tor them to gel out of

)5. They nr** id great capacity, and wiil

without basting %

to hold the work; and they sew equally well
tnoTiphtcat and Heaviest fabrics.
o They w 11 star over the heaviest seams
without oha ging the tension or breaking the
Huest thread.
♦i. T iey use a straight needle—curved ones
1 re Liable to b< • *k.
7. The needle has a perpendicular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
8. They run easily, and are almost noiee
lasa.
THE 8TAU SHUTTLE is emphatically a

what is most of all, it U offered at a lower
