OUR LEGISLATURE--ITS BUSI
NESS.
Onrnbxt legislature will have before
■ it more work, probably, than was ever
ibefore that body at any one time since
i Arkansas has been a State.. The disor
ganized'condition of our country ne
|eessitates careful and wise legislation.
To restore onr prosperity and consider
our State interest is. manifestly, the
> business of our new legislature ; and it
sis gratifying to know that at this crisis
we have as representatives some of the
(Soundest, best men of the State. We
Ehave already hinted that something
(.should be done for the negro; some
Haw enacted that would make him a
responsible party; that would throw
kho arm of the law around him to con
trol him, nnd to make him of use to the
whiteman and to himself. Some of
[bur exchanges ore canvassing the pro
priety of a moderate stay law. Such a
flaw has been passed by Alabama and
Pother States, and in our judgment, il
hvould he wisdom for Arkansas lo do
lithe same tiling. Our school system
needs revising, railroad interests dc
Mpgaud the attention of the legislature.
I Altogether, a thorough system of inter
, nal improvements should be organized,
Nttch as will conduce to our popularity,
^convenience and prosperity as a people,
t Such are a few of the many things that
twill doubtless be brought before the
flegislature at its next sitting. In these
Ktthings we do not pretend to advise, but
leave them to the members whom the
■ people have chosen—satisiiod that they
Swill do all in their power for the good
1 of the State.

In July I felt confident 1 would make

a fourth of that amount is as much as I

my debts I owed before the war, and I
thought I would get out of debt this

“Hang Robert E. Lee! It is highly

ti true that but four Slates have cx

fa sufficient indication that the next
Congress will be largely Republican.
W may now know that the rule of
tyranny is to he unbroken, that the
^unprincipled disregard of law, order,
,aml constitutional liberty, which char
acterized the late Congres, is to be per
petuated. To wiiat this course tends
no man can tell. Xo principle, no pol
icy, is the platform upon which the
; Republicans stand, and it is the policy
| by which the government must be con

election strong hopes of representation
and complete restoration are blasted,
'arid the conviction settles itself upon
[ our minds that we must still “suffer
and he strong.” The*' is a feeble hope

sufficient, with the President's veto, to

measures as will from time to time be
presented to Congress. But of this we

Tliat which most affects usis, that there
will he no more effectual way opened

Our Dead Prophets.
Webster and Clay are dead, hut their
prophecies survive them. They fore
saw that the success of the Abolition
party would destroy the Government.
In I860 Webster said :
“If the infernal Abolitionists ever
get the power in their hands, they will
override the Constitution; set the Su
preme Court at defiance : change and
make laws to suit themselves! lay vio
lent hands on those who differ with
them in their opinions, or dare question
their infallibility, and finally bankrupt
the country and deluge it with blood."
In the Senate, in IN’!), Mr. Clay said
of the Abolition party;
“With them the rights of property
are nothing; the deficiency of the pow
ers of the General Government is noth
ing; the acknowledged and incontesti
lile powers of the State are nothing;
the disolution of the Cnion and the
overthrow of the Government, in which
is concentrated the hope of the civilized
world, are nothing. A single idea lias
taken possession of their minds, and
onward they pursue it. overlooking all
barriers, and regardless of nil conse
quences/'—[Memphis Ledger.

SnERMan.—The Chicago Times at

eral Sherman, in reference to some of
the Radical bounds who are running
over the North and West howling for
blood :
"It is amusing to observe how brave
and firm men become when all danger
is past. I noticed on fields of battle
brave men never insult the captured or
mutilate the dead ;but the cowards and
braggarts always do. Now when the
rebellion in the land is dead, many Fal
stafl's appear to brandish the evidence
of their valor, and seek to win applause
and appropriate honors for deeds that
never were done.”
