" DES Alt U, A~itK AN 8 A 8:
SatunU) Morning, Sot. SO, 1887.
89* Keep it before the people, that
on the 21st of December, the election
for District Court at Des Arc will be
held. Let every body vote, and see
that his neighbor vote, for in this mat
ter we arc all interested.
89* Every State in the North that
has voted upon the subject, has made
record ngainst negro suffrage. .Alas!
the poor negro deserted by his friends
from whom he has expected so much,
left in the possession of freedom with
out the privilege of enjoying it; tgliat
shall he do ; truly, his last eud is worse
than hiB first.
WHAT SHALLTHE POOR
FARMER DO.
Scarcely a day passes in which we
arc not asked this question. The fann
er has staked a great deal on cotton,
and lost; not one in the whole country
that lias made a dollar this year on the
staple. Day by day the product of
their toil is brought to market; aud
when their expenses are proven more
than their profits they ask in all seri
ousness what shall we do—wo answer;
let cotton alone. It is now settled
there is no money in it, and why waste
time and labor for no profit; let every
farmer prepare to raise corn, wheat and
other products which are equally adap
table to our Boil; and when this order
of things is established, it will be pro
ven that the farmer shall do well.
89* As illustrative of an editor’s
trials we give the following letter just
as it came to us:
Stokt Point 1867
Ark Nov the 16th
mr
Editor
Sir I think that your paper
would be much more acceptable and
far more highly appreciated if you won
Id fill its columns with news instead of
those worthless advertisement with
which your paper is filled, if the mer
chants of Des are must have an adver
using sheet pumisnoa no it at their
expense notthat of your readers, either
enlarge your paper or publish two, it
is a shame that people pay sucli a price
for a thing and then not get it „ unless
there is one of the, two above mentioned
things done you will get no more
money from me and I think I can
represent hundreds for I hear much
complaint this year
I remain
yours
truly
Complaincr
Well, Mr. Complaincr, we are truly
obliged to you for your suggestion,
and do not doubt that our paper would
be “far more highly appreciated if its
columns were tilled with news” &c„
hut we must object to your calling the
advertisement with which our columns
are adorned, worthless, they are the
bread and meat of the concern, and of
course could not he cut off without
serious damage to the stomach of edi
tor and proprietor. But seriously,
there is one portion of this letter that
blit too truly represents the spirit
which characterizes ilse patronage of a
newspaper throughout this whole
country, we mean “it is a shame peo
ple pay such a price for a thing,” &e.
Yes, it is a shame that an editor should
toil while others sleep; work while
others rest; read column after column
day aftor day, throughout the whole
year and clip and write and put to
gether in the form of a newspaper, and
then charge for all this to each sub
scriber. two dollars and a half a year;
ves, it is a’shame that brains and time
should command “such a price.” It is
a shame that when the actual expense
of publishing a paper, aside from the
material used, is near two thousand
dollars a year, we should resort to any
means to make its gross receipts more
than one thousand. Yes, it is a burn
ing shame to pay the enormous sum of
two dollars and fifty rents a year for a
newspaper, and then receive in its
stead a sheet tilled with the advertise
ments of merchants who are vain
enough to think themselves aud their
litKiiinaa nt’ internet ♦ n t ho n-pniirtil
reader. Ye newspapermen of Arkan
sas, take warning from our sad experi
ence ; we have cast and lost. We
sought and found advertising custom,
t»ut alas for our folly ; wc are about to
lose two dollars and fifty cents 1 pity
tis, oh ! ye brothers of the quil; weep
with us, oil! ye setters of type; niouru
with os, oh! ye that advertise. Two
dollars and upwards gone, and “hun
dreds of represented subscribers" with
angry brows Urronteniugly demandingu
suppression of advertisements—to what
shall we resort to escape this dread
calamity. We who have been so de
luded; who have tilled our columns
i. ill worthless advertisements, and
i duly imagine we were publishing n
newspaper, are threatened witli the
w ithdrawal of the patronage of this
new light who breaks upon llie news
paper world with astonishing revela
tions. Was it ever known before that
anewspaper published advertisements;
for this cause we are condemned, and
for this folly punished. How many
rotnplainers are thcro in the world,
each thinking that to them is given
superior knowledge concerning Un
manner in which a paper should he
conducted, but who in truth by con
centrated thousands could not produce
a third rate newspaper article. But to
answer Complaiuer directly wc will
say, our paper does uot pretend to be
strictly a literary paper. It is our le
gitimate business to advertise, and as
long as our paper is deemed worthy of
patronage we expect to do it ; and
lastly, we have set'behind an editor's
pen too long,to try to please every
body. ThoseW|at like our efforts and
appreciate our labors patronize us and
those that know more than we do of
our own business, are beyond our
reach and of eouive we can't benefit
them aud it would be folly to try.
Fairly estimating tlie advantages and
disadvantages of our correspondent’s
proposition, we, with a sigh, take the
advertisements and let the two dollars
aud a half go iij-.i i. if it i t collected.
The Fortieth Congress.
A few (lavs since, says the Little
I!ock Gazette, we saiil the southern
states had nothing to fear from “con
gressional confiscation : hut that iniqni
itv wonld be worked by the coming
convention ana the legislature it will
provide for, by the enactment and ad
ministration of unjust tax laws. Which
will amount to practical confiscation.
The following from the Anti-Slavery
Standard has not had the effect to make
us change our opinion :
The limited and conditional grant of
! political rights already extended to the
: negroes of the, south, lias awakened
| among them a consciousness of power
, which they did nut led a year ago.
They expected then that the federal
, government would guarantee to them
: not only political equality, hut also
homesteads. Every effort has been,
] made to disabuse their minds its to the
I prospect of land from the federal gov
. eminent, but they have, meanwhile,
been learning more fully the signifi
cance of the ballot ill the hands of n
landless majority, with unrepentant
rebels for opponents. We speak ad
visedly when we say, that though the
negroes are not now. as formerly,
looking for land from tiie general gov
ernment, they have not giveu up the ex
pectation of haring it in another way.
Unless Johnson following the lead of
his initial movement disarming the
j negroes of the District of Columbia, is
' allowed to override the present recon- '
: struclion, and crush out the radical po
i liticnl strength now rapidly developing
in the South, the blacks, wherever
they, with their friends, are in the vo
j ting majority, will so shnpe the new
state legislation as to make the landed
; property of the south (their's by their
own past unrequited toil) subservo
their immediate wants in the way of
education and local improvement. In
subjecting the southern lands to heavy
taxation for educational and other le
gitimate ends, we think they would act
wisely and well. The fortieth con
gress will still have the opportunity, if
it lias tiie wisdom and the courage to
provide fora uniform national system
of suffrage and education, also to re
store to the possession of the federal
government the immense landed estates
of rebels, pcrfidously surrendered by
tiie traitor executive. Thus it may,as
sume, ns a sequence of tiie war, juris
diction of problems which otherwise
will inevitably continue for a long
time to divide the people of the south
and to distract the nation. We are
near the presidential campaign, but
with Johnson impeached or suspended,
I and prompt, thorough, radical legisla
non, such as we have indicated, the
“Bull Kun’’ of the October and No
vember elections can be more than
made up. There may arise a contin
gency in which it will he the duty of
the congress already chosen, not only
to depose, a president, but to designate
one for the next succeeding term.

Pollard, author of Lee and Ilis
Generals, is out in a severe letter
against Ex-Gov. Wise, becauso of a
| caustic criticism of his book by the old
I General. He says :
! The fact is, every lino of his letter
writhes with wounded vanity. The ex-]
. planation is that the author of Lee and
] His Lieutenants did not assign to the
Ex-Governor the place lie had expcct
I ed in tlie portrait gallery of the war
i and hinc ilia1 laclirymup, and the loosen
I ing of the rhetorical tumors beside. !
] Yet every candid man is challenged to
1 say if the author did not really treat ,
with the. greatest kindness, the most '
] charitable tenderness, tho public life I
: and military career of Ex-Gov. Wise, j
, notwithstanding the had distinction he ]
had in the Confederate armies of being 1
1 the only general officer who never re-'
] reived a single promotion in four year, ]
; and ended with the precise rank with
] which lie began. But the justice of his-j
■ tory compelled the author not to omit ;
the Ex-Governor in liis well-known i
] mid conspicuous character of the Bom-1
' bastes Furloso of the war. It was a
: necessity of the narrative. An inter
t eating and indispensable part of the
; history of the war is the volume of eon
j ceit and brag and truculent nonsense
i hv which many of the so-called Soulli
] ern leaders impelled the war, and, pluy
, ing the part of rhetorical bullies, drove
the people into madness and ruin. No :
man illustrated this class better than
Ex-Governor Wise, or better expound
| ed their ideas of finishing the war with
a flourish of bowie-knives, or pooh- j
: poolied inoro persistently tho notion
that the Yankees wijnld tight.
I The Goose Bone.—From time imme
raoria), as is generally known, many worthy
persons have regarded the Goose bone as
, possessing some peculiar and mysterious
power of divining the character of the
weather that would prevail for months
] ahead. Whether this ancient belief liasany
foundation in fact or not, the boliever in
! its prophetic capacity never waver in their
firm faith: and year after vear the bone is !
i carefully examined to determine what
I kind of weather will be experienced during
! the coming winter. Several members of
i the Farmer’s club have expressed a desire
to test the prediction made by this storage
oracle' Doctor Spurr brought one to tly
ciub room, which predicted that we are
: to have an exceedingly dry and cold DeJ
I ceniber, January ami Febuary, but a very

BQTSonth Carolina's crop of Sen
Island cotton this year, according toan
estimate published in the Charleston \
Mercury, will bo 2500 bags of 300
pounds each. Tho crop of nine years
ago was 16,509 bales. A variety of!
misfortunes has befallen South Caroli-1
mi, as well as other Southern States, all
tending to diminish production.— j
Among the principal causes for the i
failure of the Carolinians to revive the
culture of the Sea Inland more exten
sively, is the fact Unit the federal gov
ernment gave up to a horde of negroes
most of the plantations on which this
choice variety grows. They have
failed to make these iHnds productive,
and the rightful owners thereof have
had no opportunity to do so.
ItS^At a session of tho Maryland
Baptist Union Association, the quss
tion of negro equality was discussed. 1
and some of the white members said ;
they would never admit the negro to
sociul equality ; that they would never
sit down to tho same table with them,
but would willingly extend to them the
hand of religious fellowship. This
declaration was meekly received by the
colored brethren present, one of whom
►aid the colored people did not desire j
social equality with the while, and that i
equality, like water, would tind its own
level.

*oy The Cincinnati Times, a superb.*
tively radical sheet, is publishing a “II s
torieal .S'kotch of Reconstruction,” by
states. The number beaded Arkansas, is
so truthful, that we publish it entire. It
shows, as was the fact, that the “rebel
clement” (so-called) of ber population,
had no hand whatever in the adoption of
the existing (wo hope this is not treason.)
constitution. The supreme court, elected
by tbe first Legislature, in an able opin
ion, delivered by Chief Justice Yont.ky.
decided the act of disfranchisement, passed
before the close of the war, to be uncon
stitutional.
ARKANSAS.
iSnon after the capture of Little Rock
by General Parvidson, in .September, 1*63,
measures were taken towards the restora
tion of Arkansas *o the Union. Public
meetings were held, and a very general
unanimity prevailed. Comparatively few
people in the northern counties indorsed
secession, and now the retreat of rebel
forces enabled them to declare their Union
sentiments. Many deserted the rebel flag
and joined the Union cause. Enlistments
in the Lrnion army were so numerous that
by December eight regiments were organ
ized, besides thousands who had gone into
companies in old regiments.
On the 20th of January, 1861, Pres
ident Lincoln issued a proclamation for.the
reorganization of state governments. It
directed Gen. Steele, in command at Little
Rock, to call an election to be hold on the
28th of March, for state officers under the
old constitution, so modified as to prohibit
slavery. But when he learned that a con
stitutional convention had assembled on
the 8th, he ordered Gen. Steele to treat
affairs according to his discretion. This
convention framed a free constitution, re
pudiated the rebel debt, appointed provi
sional state officers, wdth Isaac Murphy for
Governor, submitted the new constitution
to a vote of the people, to betaken on the
14-th of March, when state officers were to
bo elected. These proceedings had the
sanction of the commanding general. Very
few rebels were at home to vote at this
election, and the constitution was ratified
by 12,177 yeas to 226 nays. Mr. Mur
phy was elected Governor, with other
state officers, and three members of con
gress were chosen. The legislature as
sembled on the 25th of 4pril, and elected
i__ tt cj __ r» a_ ...i
four counties were represented in their
proceedings. Congress rejected the mem
bers from Arkan-ns, though the president
recognized her government as loyal.
The legislature met again in .March,
1865, ratified unanimously the United
states constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery, and disfranchised all who had
aided the rebellion since April 18th, 1864.
[The supreme court of the state, elected
by the same legislature, pronounced this
law unconstitutional.]
This government, was acquiesced in
throughout the territory, business revived,
and taxes were as quietly collected as be
fore the war. Three members of congress
who could take the oath were elected, but
were not admitted to scats. The rebellion
had meantime been crushed, and it was
necessary to mature a plan of general re
construction before a Imittingany members
from late rebel states. Mr. Johnson had,
in October, recognized the Arkansas gov
ernment, which is the same that now ex
ists.
