Jtaf-We are in the midst of a fearful
revolution in all that pertains to the na
ture of government. The practicability of
Republican institutions and government
has long ben a debatable question. The
disposition of the Radical party now seems
to bo. to test to its utmost extent the
strength of a government whose protect
ing influence has ever been thrown around
them, and whose fostering care lias roared
them and made them what they arc, great
in all save principle. Not satisfied with
the defeat that has met on every hand the
measures with which they attempted to de
grade a free and enlightened people, they
continue to bring to light other darling
schemes by which all that is noble and
good may be destroyed Vice, corruption
nml iomnriinnn rriven fill! swnv. therchv
elevating themselves to power, that they
may control, rule and ruin a truly great
Government. It is indeed gratifying to
all who love justice and right, to know
that there are in the councils of the na
tion some at least who do not wink at this
destructive policy. In the President with
his vetoes, and in the manly supporters
of his policy, that stand nobly by him we
have evidence that there is yet much to
hope for. That the star of our republican
greatness which now seems dim, may yet
shoot forth from behind the cloud to daz
zle the world with its brilliancy.
To what the Civil Rights bill—which
in all probability has passed in the Senate
over the President’s veto—tends, remains
to be seen. If carried to the Supreme
Court; it is expected by all thinking men
that it will be defeated. Let us hope
that this will be so, and that fanaticism
thus defeated, ^}1 in the bitterness of its
disappointment grieve itself to death.
IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SU
PREME COURT.
Yesterday, says the Baltimore Trans
cript, of the 4th, the Supreme Court of
the United States, in the case of certain
petitioners, who had been convicted of
conspiracy and sentenced to death by a
Military Commission sitting in the State
of Indiana, which sentence was commuted
to imprisonment, decided that they should
be discharged from custody, the tribunal
before which they were tried having no
legal jurisdiction. It is believed that the
decision affects the cases of Jefferson Da
vis and Clement C. Clay, in relieving
them from trial before a Military Commis
sion. This being the case, they can only
be brought before the United States
Court of the Districts in which the alleged
offenses were committed.
The Radicals, who are anxious for “ a
little more blood-letting,” may thus be dis
appointed of their prey, for it would bo
hard to find a jury in Virginia that would
convict Mr. Davis, where the people be
lieve that they are quite as culpable as the
President of the late Southern Confeder
acy.
The special Washington correspondent of
fhe New York Express, says another im
portant decision has been made by the
Court, namely—that the test oath is un
constitutional. This, it is stated, was de
termined by a vote of to four, but is
Withheld for the present in deference to
the expressed wish of the minority. The
Uourt has adjourned over till the next
term, when the decision will be made
p Hollo.
EXECUTIVE AXIM>THER VETOES.
Under this heading the Cincinnati Nd
tional Union, Radical Republican gener
ally in its politics, has an editorial on the
recent important events in Congress which
evinces a sense of justice and a breadth ol
true patriotism seldom to be found in that
quarter. It is so oppropriate that we
transfer the material portions to our col
umns, and bespeak for it an attentive pe
rusal':
“ An effort is being made to cause the
public to believe that the differences which
now exist between the Presideut and the
Radicals in Congress were brought about,
in faet, courted by the former, while facts
will clearly prove that the Radicals arc
alone responsible. Great stress has been
laid upon the use by the President of the
term “ my policy,” and he is charged with
egotism in its#recurrence in his speeches
Ilis was the only policy that was enuncia
ted. Congress had no policy, therefor<
he could not allude to it other than as hi:
policy, with which he invited and entreat
ed Congress to co-operate, believing as In
did that it was the only policy that wonh
restore the country to peace and tranquil
ity, and the Union to its pristine vigor
and glory.
“ Had Congress proclaimed a liberal
policy for the restoration of the Union and
i the reconstruction of the South, the Pres
ident would have joined hands with it;
but this it refused to do, and denounced
the President and his policy in terms of
the most bitter hatred—offended that he
did not adopt its do-nothing policy, so
well calculated to keep the North and
South antipodes forever. Like the dog in
the manger, it was unwilling that the
President should have anything to do with
the South, nor would it—the object being
to keep the country divided until its own
ends were accomplished, and its own par
ticular views carried out—no matter how
detrimental the result might be to the
welfare of the entire nation; and it was
ready, as it now is, to read every one out
of the Republican party who did not sub
scribe to its doctrines—the chief of which
being the right of every negro to exercise
the elective franchise
“ It was not content with abolishing sla
very, but the late slaves, notwithstanding
their ignorance and degradation—their
utter inability to understand or compre
hend the principles of our Government,
must be allowed the freedom of the ballot,
which has heretofore been considered of
too sacred a character to be bestowed in
discriminately—intelligent citizens of oth
er countries being required to undergo a
probationary season, that they might ac
quaint themselves with our institutions,
before being permitted to exercise the elec
tive franchise.
“ The Radicals in Congress, with a spirit
of combativeness too apparent, passed bills
which they must have been conscious, it
conscious of anything, that the President
would veto, and then, after the vetoes had
been promulgated, were terrible in their
denunciations of the executive whom they
accused of everything save being an hon
est man and a lover of his country—the
veto p*bwer, in their opinion, being danger
ous to the welfare of the nation, and en
tirely to enormous to be entrusted to a
single man, particularly if that man was
President Johnson.
“But the Executive has not been alone
in the exercise of the veto power. The
Senate has vetoed a greater number of bills
that have passed the House than has the
President, while the House has also tried
its hand in the same line and with consid
erable freedom. Even.the great leader of
the Radicals, Thad. Stephens was opposed
to the passage of the Freedmcn’s Bureau
bill just previous to the final vote, while
Bingham voted against the Civil Rights
bill, and Sumner b'.owed his liorn in oppo
sition to the constitutional amendments.
“ The exercise of the veto power is
sometimes necessary—particularly so when
demagogues and fanatics pass bills which
arc in direct opposition to the spirit of the
Constitution—an instrument for which
they have very little respect or reverence,
and which they have no hesitation in set
ting aside, when their schemes conflict
with its hitherto sacred provisions. The
Radicals are responsible for the quarrel
which is now being waged between the
President and Congress, and in their ef
forts to keep the north and south apart can
but be looked upon, by all patriots,-as lit
tle better than the Rebels and Copper
heads of the late fratricidal war.
RAILROAD* MEETING.
Hickory Plain, April 7th, 1866.
According to a resolution of a meeting
of the friends of the proposed Des Arc,
Dardenelle & Fort Smith Rail Road, held
at Des Arc on the 24th ult., which ad
journed to meet at this place on the 7th of
April, 1866.
The meeting was organized by calling
W. L. Moouk to the chair, and appoint
ing A. J. Thomas, Secretary. The
chairman explained the object or the meet
ing to be the organizing of the company,
and for obtaining capital stock to the said
road. By motion, J. E Gatewood, Esq.,
| was requested to read the proceedings of
! the Des Arc meeting, after the reading of
whieb, he made some very appropropriate
and forcible remarks. Col BorneV was
then called upon, who responded by de
livering a very handsome address in favor
of building the road Mr. N. B. Gaik
being present, was next called, who re
sponded in some pertinent remarks urging
| the citizens to do their duty in pushing
forward this great and noble enterprise.
On motion a letter from J. L. Denton
was read and ordered to be made a part of
the proceedings of this meeting.
1)ks Auk, March 30th, 1866.
Db. W. L. Moons. Dear Sib:—Called away
on urgent business, I will not be able to attend
the Railroad meeting at Hickory Plain. This
I sincerely regret, for I esteem it both a duty
and a privilege to participate iu any move
ment, that has for its object the amelioration
of our condition. Debarred from giving the
I laudable project that will bo discussed, the
approval of my presence, I cannot forbear
1 j troubling you with s frail testimonial o|the so
! Hoitnrte which I fool for it* «uccc-*
Not to foci vitally concerned in the progress
and development of Arknnsas, would be to dis
regard that Stale pride and fondness for lo
cality, which arc so deeply rooted in human
i nature. Born in Johnson county, and raised and
educatcdin Washington,and hnvingbecn iden
! lifted with the State from childhood, it Isnatu- j
! ral that I should feel great anxiety for her
! growth and prosperity. By consulting the
map of the State, and examining the collection
of facts deduced by geological investigation,
it will bo seen that wo possess all the natural
resources of a powerful people. All that is
requisite now, is, that artificial assistance
which will improve these advantages, and con
vert them into forms of pract ical utility. Na- :
turc has been lavish in her gifts, and has not
left us without signal tokens of providential j
regard. The Mississippi river laves our cn- j
tire eastern border. Red river separates us
from Texas on the West, and four navigable
rivers of respectable size traverse tho State
from north to south, and scatter fertility as
they flow. Now if we can obtain a competent
number of railroads judiciously located,so as to
supply tho inadequacies of wafer transporta
tion, wc will have surmounted the principal
obstacles that hinder our march to eminence.
In my humble opinion, the Des Arc, Dardc
nello & Fort Smith Railroad, would be more
productive of desirable results than any other
enterprise of similar cost and magnitude, to
which attention could be directed. I am in
favor of inaugurating the work at an' early
day. The plan by which subscriptions arc to
be secured has been embodied in resolutions,
and will no doubt be subject to such altera
tions as the wants of tho people require. The
delay which some urge would bring us no
nearer a readiness to act Procrastination is
not only a suicidal waste of time, but it is a
cowardly shrinking from duty; and by de
stroying the power of motives, it weakens our
inclinations to pursue any substantial good.
The argument that we are premature in our ef
forts, is no more than was insisted upon be
love I no war. i aumu mat me people are
paralyzed as it regards available means, but
they have real estate, upon which a loan can
safely be predicated. Lands thus hypotheca
ted can be redeemed if desired, for such is the
vigor infused into all branches of industry,
that surplus wealth must soon be created. In
addition to individual subscription, we are
confidentCongrcss will extend valuable aid, for
such is the commanding importance of this
road, that its claims cannot be overlooked.
I know that the idea of building a railroad
from Des Arc to Fort Smith, overawes some
persons at first, and the possibility of such a
thing is questioned. But by comparing this
undertaking with others more expensive and
difficult, confidence is gradually inspired, and
the conception is brought down to easy
comprehension. In the route proposed, we
have no Alleghany mountains to climb, no
long tunnels to cut, no Victoria bridge to con
truct. It does not pass through a cheerless
waste destitute of materials, but a country
abounding in everything necessary to a rapid
prosecution of the work. If railroads have
been carried successfully through the most
sterile and unproductive regions, it does seeui
that we should not be incredulous anddisheart
ed when we have a soil that yields so exuber
berantly.
It seems to me highly appropriate that we
select this juncture for commencing the work.
There is but little division of feeling at pres
ent, but rivalries and dissensions will soon
spring up, that will materially cmharass our
operations. The empire of thought, as well
as the Government, has experienced a revolu
tion, and while there is a disposition among
the people to be actively engaged, we should
commence this needful railway. If I thought
my native State would remain a laggard and
never feel the full round pulse of a noble pub
lic spirit throbbing in her veins, I would hide
my face in sl^ame.
The citizens pf Helena are taking a step in
the right direction, and their example is
worthy of emulation. They have sent a dele
gation to St. Louis to confer with the Cham
ber of Commerce, concerning the extension of
the Iron Mountain railroad to Helena. This
subject has been in agitation but a short time,
andalready New York capitalists have started
over the proposed route for the purpose of
making large investments in land. If we la
bor energetically for our railroad—get it be
yond the point of vague conjecture, and give
to it the semblance of reality—capital and pop
ulation will be attracted; and an upward im
pulse will be imported to our State,
If this road could be consummated, the ben
tion. It would be a new era in our history.
It would place us in easy communication with
the North-western portion of the State; would
i facilitate travel, and force into our markets
the products ofa vast agricultural region. It
would give an impetus to all the useful avoca
tions, would develop our mineral wealth, eon
1 duceto general intelligence, and bind our pco
! pie together by ties of mutual interest. I
! hope the day is not remote, when I can step on
i the train at Des Arc, and in a few hours reach
the home of my early days.
Respectfully,
J. L. Denton.
The following resolutions were present
ed by by J. E Gatewood, Esq., and
adopted.

request of the party addressed from one poxt
otficc to another, without additional postage
charged, ant! returned do-id 1 ’tiers sh til be to
the writers thereof, free of p"-t»gc, nnd( tbst
the old law, which requires postage to be
chargod at the prepaid rate to be collected on
the return delivery of letters indorsed with a
request for their return to the w riter, he and
the same is hereby repealed, and all letters
bearing such indorsement shall hereafter tie
returned to the writers thereof without addi
tional postage charge. It further provides
that railroad companies carrying the mails of
the United States shall carry without extra
charge by any train which they may run over
their roads nil such printed matter ns the
Postmaster General shall from time to lime
direct to be transported then in charge of per
sons designated by the Postoffice Department
for that purpose. The same penalties arc
provided fur all persons who pour water into
street letter-boxes and otherwise deface mail
matter in them. It nlso repeals the law
which authorizes postmasters to contract with
the publishers of newspapers, periodicals and
circulars for delivery to carriers wilhin'thc
postal district of any publication not coming
through the mail, at rates and upon terms to
,be agreed upon with such publishers. A
proposition to amend the present law, allow
ing the Postmaster General to select any
newspaper, without regard to circulation, in
which to advertise undelivered letters, was
voted down. The law still requires it to be
given, therefore, to papers having the largest
circulation.—[iUempnis Appeal,
‘‘Mil. Lee.”—A Chicago sheet in a super
cilious article touching the testimony of Gen.
Lee before the Committee on Reconstruction,
so frequently speaks of the illustrious Confed
erate Commander-in-Chief, as Mr. Lf.k, that
it.is apparent that the writer fancies by this
subtraction of Gen. Lee’s military title, be is
belittled in the minds of Chicago readers.
This is characteristic of a not inconsiderable
class of people in the North, we apprehend—
natural born flunkies who covet titles while
professing radical leveling democracy—and
among whom, alone, could be found fellows
who are capable of supposing they may abate
one jot of the moral stature of Robert E. Lee
by the petty impertinence of designating him
as Mr. Lee; a designation which, be it ob
served, in these times of cheap, broadcast
titles, is one of some distinction.—[Memphis
