DES ARC, ARKANSAS:
Saturday Morning, Not. 9, 1867.
~ ELECTION NEWS.
Reports from the northern elections
held on Tuesday last are meagre, but
from the little information gathered
npon the subject, we conclude that
New York, New Jersey, Maryland and
Wisconsin have gone largely Demo
cratic, while Massachusetts has been
left for the Radicals. The four above
mentioned States adding their voices
to that of Ohio and Pennsylvania al
ready spoken is certainly a terrible re
buke to Radicalism, and a death blow
to negro suffrage in the North. In the
face of the great fact that the power is
departing from Radical hands, can any
man say a great change is not being
wrought in the minds of the northern
people concerning the administration
of the government.
N0RTHAN*DS0UTH.
It is a singular fact that while the
States of the North are throwing off
the Radical yoke, and by their voices
repudiating republican rule, Vir
ginia, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia
arc hugging the reconstruction policy
which in the judgment of the best men
of the country, i9 ruinous to liberty,
and destructive to the interests of the
States. Ohio, Pennsylvania and other
States have made their record against
negro suffrage, where, heretofore, it
was thought the measure had most
friends. But here in the South, in
Alabama, in Louisiana, in Virginia and
in Georgia, the hateful policy of the
party in power, has by its oppression
driven the people into voting upon
themselves what the republican party
of the west would not have. We say
driven, for wo cannot believe that these
States would have sanctioned negro
suffrage, had they been left to exercise
their will without compelling circum
stances forcing them to this course of
action. We this as it may, wo must
condcmu that policy that is so foreign
to the true principles of the southern
people, and fraught with consequences
the evil of which no man can measure.
Under this policy the South must be
come the asylum for the negroes of
north America, for surely the intelli
gent of this race will not remain north
when their privileges are so much
greater in the South. It is true many
good men in the South, myn as brave
as any ; men interested in the welfare
of the country, favor this reconstruc
tion upon the Congressional plan. All
we can say of such is, they are mis
taken in our judgment, in deeming
this the best policy for the southern
States. Nor do we think it wise to
confer upon the negro that privilege
whicli he is so poorly qualified to ex
orcise. While we acknowledge him
greatly in the minority, still if he be
comes a voter, lie is placed at the mer
cy of designing men who oppose every
southern sentiment, and who will so
■control the negro vote, ns to make it
too powerful in opposition to the in
terests of the southern States. Op
pressive indeed, must be the condition
of a people who vote upon themselves
a measure which they have always
heretofore opposed—many, very many
even unto death. What a change in
seven years. Once Ohio and Pennsyl
vania met Alabama, Georgia and Lou
isiana upon bloody fields, for this very
cause, now they of the north reject,
while we of the South accept the very
thing, that caused those bloody pages
with which we are all too familiar, to
be written in American history.
The election on Tuesday and
Wednesday- was closely contested by
•the convention and anti-convention
parties; between the delegates the race
-was equally close. The result was not
what many expected, as will be seen
from the following returns. The ma
jority of votes cast were for conven
nun, uuu lur ivunin iwm iuii auu v? .

>9“Tho Republican Press has grown
quite faint over the late democratic
victories in the North, and say all sorts
of foolish things about corruption, ras
cality, Ac. They attribute the defeat j
of negro suffrage, not to the opposition j
of the masses to the measure, but to I
that clause which disfranchises deser- :
ters. Negro suffrage and the right of
deserters to vote .'—that’s hard on the i
democracy.

(9* The Republican press seems to
be almost unanimous iu their desire to
place Grant on their Presidential ticket.
They thiuk if their principles can't win,
the popularity of the man will give

The Democratic papers of the
North and West are pinching Senator
Sumner rather severely, because of his
separation from his wife, who they say
is little more than a bride.

mented, who has a fortune of only
twenty thousand dollars, is still trying
to keep off starvation by the sale of old
clothes. Surely the Radical party will
not let her suffer ?
-A one-legged editor in Georgia,
named Nevin, recently challenged a
gentleman to fight a duel, and proposed
that his two-legged adversary should

to equalize the chances. His obliging !
offer was declined._

The Declaration of Indepencence
Fallacy.
Thai]. Stevens builds the whole of
his absurd reasoning in favor of uni
versal suffrage, by Congressional ac
tion, upon tho Declaration of Indepen
dence, and not upon the Constitution.
He forgets that the Declaration was
the commencement of hostilities, but
that It was by the Constitution that a
more perfect Union was formed, and
the Government of the United States
finally established. But his assump
tion is equally absurd when applied to
the Declaration. That it was not the
intention of the Signers of the Decla
ration of Independence lo declare that
the negro slaves then in tho country
were entitled to liberty, is seen in the
fact that nearly all of them owned ne
gro slaves at the time, and that neither
then or afterwards did they set them
free. In fact, the Declaration itself, as
originally prepared by Jefferson, con
tained a clause stigmatizing indirectly
the slave trade, which was stricken
out at the instance of Now England
members, because they, or their friends,
were then engaged, and did so con
tinue in tint trade—and did so contin
ue as soon as the cessation of hostili
ties enabled them to resume it. How
absurd, then, to elaitn that it was the
purpose of the signers of the Declara
tion to declare an edict of emancipa
tion for the slaves, and that their pur
pose was postponed by the war and
frustrated bv the Convention that
framed the Constitution. The simple
truth is, that the men of that day, when
they were layiug the foundation of the
RcpuBfte, took no cognizance of flic
black man, except to secure the mas
ter's rights—and when they indulged
in generalities about men, they meant
white men, political men.
Jtjr'N'ew York, November 2.— A spe
cial to the Herald, dated October 30, says
Garabaldi’s camp is at Camp Yuibeliers,
five miles distant from Home, and that he
has under his command three thousand
soldiers, who are well armed and have
plenty of provisions. The General has
no artillery except two brass guns, taken
from the Papal forces during the
fight at J/onterondo. They have no tents,
and there is little discipline maintained,
and the rear is unguarded. Garibaldi’s
headquarters are in full view of Home,
ana mere ure no pupm troops uciwccu ua
and the city. The soldiers of the Pope,
who have been gradually and steadily fall
ing back for some days, have retired with
in the line of fortifications of the city. —
liefore the retirement from the field, they
burned all the bridges over the river.—
The Roman peasants residing in the neigh
borhood of the contending forces take no
interest in the progress of affairs; they are
engaged at the plow aud tending their
flocks on the plains the same as usual —
Garibaldi’s men do not interfere with
them. Eight men of Garibaldi’s army are
to be executed to-morrow, by sentence oi
court martial, having been convicted oi
thieving at Monterondo. The men of the
force are very enthusiastic in their hopes
as to tho result of the movement on Rome;
but tho weather is very cold during nights
and this lessons their patriotism and endu
rance not a little. Recruits come in at
the average of six hundred daily. Arms
and provisions arc had in large quantities
from the province ol Peoni. There has
been no actual engagement since the fights
at Viterbo and Monterondo. The priests
fought bravely at J/onterondo. After the
battle Garibaldi's officers bouged him tc
shoot at once all the prisoners taken in the
action, but he refused promptly, and with
determination.
General Sherman's Opinion of the
Revolutionists.—A special dispatch
to the Boston Post, dated Oct., 22 says:
“ While those who profess to act
• outside of the Constitution'are diges
ting President Johnson’s declaration
that he will resist auy attempt to sus
pend or degrade him before trial anil
conviction. I will add, upon reliable
authority, the declaration of General
Sherman, that such an attempt would
be clearly revolutionary, and should
be resisted by the President with al
the means within his control. Thit
declaration, made to ‘those who had s
right to know his views, may have
suggested the propriety of his retun
here to assume the command of the De
partmentofWashington,which includes
Maryland and Delaware. Such, also
was the substauce of an opinion expres
ed by General Grant, when approached
on the subject, during the last scssior
of Congress, by the Chairman of the
House Military Committee. Mr
Schenek declared to his friends that
before taking any extreme action in the
premises, the opinion of General Gram
should he obtained, and he volunteercel
to obtain it. When the subject was
mentioned, General Grant promptly
responded, in substance, that any at
tempt to suspend the President before
trial and conviction would be in viola
tion of the Constitution. The reply ol

A 711*11. Rider Murdered.—The mail
rider on the Sherman route from this
place, who came in last week, reports
that another mail rider, on the route
from Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation, to
Fort Washita, Choctaw Nation, was
killed ton miles north of Boggy Depot.
He was found with three bullet holes
through his body, stabbed twice, and
tiis throat cut.
This is the second mail rider killed
on this route within the last six weeks.
There appears to he a gang of despe
radoes on the road between For* Gib
son and Boggy Depot, who are murder
ing and robbing every pergon they find
having money or any kind of stock or
property they can appropriate to their
use.
We have no doubt that three of those
desperadoes are the men who murder
ed Mr. Straham on Boston Mountains
a few days ago, as it appears, that they
came up with him and his companion
in the Choctaw Nation.
Something should be done at once
to rid the country of these despdradoes,
murderers and robbers.
It is said, that the mule the first mail
rider was riding when killed, did not
leave the body, but. strayed and fed
around it for ten days, when it was
found by some persons passing by. The
mule hall to go over a mile for water,
and the faithful animal would return
from hi* watering to the body every
day. This fact was discovered by the
beaten track the mule had made going

place.—[Fort Smith Herald.
-Walcott ,1. Humphrey, Senator
from the Sixtieth District, N. Y., was
arrested ot Warsaw, Wyoming county,
N. Y., and brought before Justice Cole,
on the 26th ult.. upon a warrant char
ging him with bribery and corruption
in office. The warrant charges that
Humphrey did accept $500 to influence
his action on a bill pending before the
Railroad Committee of the Senate.—
The accused gave bail in two securities
of $1000 each to await the action of the
Grsnd Jury in November next.
There is a diversity of opinion
Among Congressmen who liavc arrived
at Washington as to the polie.y which
will be pursued by the Radicals on the
reassembling of Congress. The gen
eral Impression among the Deinorrats
and even moderate Republicans is that
if Now York shall go largely Democrat
the dominant party in Congress will
modify their views. Such is not the
opioion of John A. Logan, of Illinois,
who declared that nor previous defeat
will atl'ect the detirmination ofthe Rad
ical wing of the party to carry out to
the fullest extent the measure they deem
necessary. In his judgment the house
will proceed with the impeachment
measure, regardless of the report ol the
JudiciaryCoinmittee. Mr. Logan con
cedes that New York will be carried
by the Democrats. Advices received
to-day from bothltadical andDemocrat
ic sources admit of no doubt that such
will be the result, and that by a great'
majority.

-People are continually finding
sources of wealth in ttie South they
never thought of before; for instance,
the Sun Antonia Express scolds the
fnriners for neglecting the hay crop.
It says; “Western Texas is throwing
a wav the finest hay yop in the United
States, this season. Millions of dollars
worth of hay now ready for the mow
ing maehine and no one to gather it.
The only hay made is to sell to city sta
bles or to tlie Government. We liavc
been recently into one of the finest
grass regions of theworld, where, with
mowing machines and hay presses
hundred of thousands of dollars worth
of hay could be put up, which would
command as high if not higher price,
than the best Eastern article. This
hay could be pressed into five hund
red lb bales, shipped to the coast in
the empty wagons going for freight,
and from their to New Orleans and
New York. The hay crop ofTcxas, if
put into market, would bring more
than our cotton.”
j^-The following is from the Lcav
enworth*rhncs, of Tuesday: “A cor
respondent reports from Omega, Octo
ber 21. that tlie United States Commis
sioners of the Pacific Railroad have just
examined and received twenty-six
: miles of the Union Pacific Railroad,
Eastern Division, up to Fort Hays, end
pronounce it rue oest section 01 ronu
yet examined by them. The train with
the commissioners ran into a herd o '
thirty buffaloes, and one was shotdown
by Colonel R. M. Shoemaker while the
tr.dn was in motion. The train was
stopped and the buffalo taken on board,
and is now cn route for St. Louis, Chi
cago and Cincinnati, in pieces; United
States Commissioner Dr. Wm. White
getting the tail and rump; Unitea
Stales Commissioner J. B. Drake get

claims the meat.”
The Searcy Record of the 2f>th says :
Circuit Court.—Hon. Judge Pow
ell, presiding. Quite a number of ra
ses have been disposed of—some by
parties interested being gone, others
by compromise. There is good pros
pect for a clearance of the docket lids
session, and court will hold till toe Ins!
of next week. One decision given by
the Judge, in ttie case of Rigsby vs.
Yoang, gave rise to a great deal of
comment. R. sold a horse to \ ., for
cavalry service in the C. S, A., the lat
, ter giving his note therefor, without
I any specification as to what kind of
; money, or to what purpose the horse
i was to be applied. 11 was, however ad

j was purchased for that purpose. The
! Judge decided the noteas null and void,

sold for C. S. service.
A Dilemma.— A singular case is
pending in one of the police courts of
New York city. A woman claims that
a man, who is defendant in the ease, is
her hi^band. It is said that her two
children looks very nmeh like him :llei
; sister positively identifies him; ids
I name is confessed to lie the same as hers
and the woman swears positively that
he was married to her eleven years ago,
in Montreal, and is the father of her
children. On the other hand, the de
fendant stolidly protests that lie does
not know the woman or the children
that lie was never married in Montreal,
and brings witnesses to prove that he

been able to decide the question.

10,720 more than the required one-half
for holding the Convention. It is es
