IMMIGRATION.
In almost every State in the South the 1
attention of the fanner is being turned to |
the improvement of our labor system, j
Three years trial has well proven that nc- .
gro labor is at best unprofitable, aud un- I
der the influence of politics for which the j
negro has a strange liking, he i* worthless ,
as a laborer. Because of this fact, the {
intelligent farmers of the South, and more j
properly the older and more advanced J
Southern States, haic resolved upon a trial1
of foreign labor, not to be confined to J
6eld operations, but to extend itself j
through every branch of trade. That this
system may be more successfully put in
operation, Aid (Societies are being or
ganised, and inducements held out to for
eign labor and foreign capital. All this
argues well and promises no small degree

tem is carried out. But we would inquire i
ie Arkansas always to be behind, while
other States, through their societies and j
agents are holding out inducements to,
wreigners of every class and trade—to;
settle in their midst. What is Arkansas
doing? As we ask, we may answer noth
ing. Looking facts as they are in the face,
we readily conclude, that it would be tbe)
partof wisdom to cease grumbling at'‘hard
times” and “bad luck,” and set ourselves
to work to remedy this stato of things. As
our political system is changed, it is natur- |
al to conclude that our agricultural system
will change or must change. Our heavy
tracts of land, largo farms and extensive
plantations arc, as they are. almost worth
less—the man who cultivates five huudred
acres makes less money than the man who
cultivates forty: this teaches that our la
bor system or mode of farming must be
changed before wc can expect prosperity.!
Let immigration be eucouragcd, and it can
be encouraged at amall expense, simply by
letting the world know that we want them
with us—that our large laud holders want!
to sell, and that too in small tracts. Let
this he well known, and immigration will
Sow in; for the advantage of soil in Ar 1
kansas is as well known as her mineral
wealth. It is all nonsense to say that be- I
fy.vip.. utiuu did nut iviia
Southward before the war, it will not do
so now. Then natural causes held them
back, now they are removed. Then it
was well known that the slave owning
farmer did not wish to encourage tbe di
viding system, now it is different Then
the farmer was opposed to introducing
white labor into bis fields because of ne
gro prejudice and peculiarity. Then for
eigners, in large numbers, were opposed to
alavery, now slavery does not exist. These
e&USCS arc Ml removvu, aiiu nuw iuc urvau
fields of Arkansas arc inviting liauds to
till them. We repeat, we must look at
things as they are; negro labor will involve
us more and more every year; our pceuni
ary interests can only be promoted by a
healthy white population; let this be look-'
ed to and political interests will regulate
themselves. Foreign immigration will
bring capital, capital will improve lands—
our population, by it increased; uncultivat
ed lauds will bo brought iuto use, neces
sitating the building of towus, the employ
ment of mechanics and the prosperity of j
the State. j

l®-ln the midst of the dangers dial
environ ns as a people, we can yet find
something on which to lean and look
tor better times. It is true the South
to-day is but a miserable impoverished
appendage, yielding less support to the
government, perhaps, than the single
State of Ohio. Her impoverished con
dition however, is the result of Radi
cal government. Her inability to aid
in sustaining the government is the re
sult Of Radical influence. The North
feels keenly and painfully the loss ol
Southern aid. to build up her mercan
tile interests, and keep alive her mam
moth manufactories, and us much us
the Northern people profess to nlilioi
the South, they love Southern cotton,
and southern patronage, and southern
mouev.
It is impossible that such a vast
territory, rich in its productions, and
capable of supporting a nation, should
be cut off and reduced to powerless
penury, without affecting the entire in
terests of the government. A prosper
ous South will secure national prosper
ity, while an impoverished Soutli will
bring financial bankruptcy upon the na
tion. This fact is pressing itself home
to the Northern people.— It was North
ern loss and not Southern suffering
that has changed the votes of over hull
a million persons in the last tw o years.
Interest is a strong motive power with
them, and we look to its promptings
to save us from utter ruin.—[Jackson

The Military nail (he Pretended
Legislature:
It is obvious from the general spirit
of the reconstruction arts that the dis
trict commanders who have been as
signed to commands in the excluded
states, arc charged with the duty ofup
holding the civil governments therein
existing, as at least provisional and ;
stable, until suelt time as new govern
ments should supersede them, coming j
into existence under and in (he precise |
manner laid down in the reconstruc-j
tion acts of March 2d and 23d. 1S<>7.
The language of the acts in question is
so plain and unequivocal that the in
tent cannot be mistaken. According,
then, to the order laid down in these
acts, the military commander cannot,
it seems to us, recognize as legitimate
the new government which a body of
unauthorized persons, now in posses
sion of the capitol. presume to set tip.
First of all, the const it ut ion under
which they claim to exist hss not in
reality, nor so far as any proper offl
cial proclamation is concerned, been
ratified by the people of the state, the
first prescribed step towards its becom
ing the organic law of the state. In
the second place, if it even had been
proclaimed that the constitution was
ratified according to the returns made
by the registrars, it would not he the
fundamental law of the state, but one
merely of several enumerated contin
gencies which would have occurred in
a manner favorable to its becoming
such. Until congress approves (lie
constitution so ratified by the regis
tered vote, the instrument is not the
constitution of the state.
In view of these facts, the congrega
tion of a body in the capitol. obtaining
entrance, too, in a burglarious manner,
it seonts to us cannot be held other than
an unauthorized, illegal assemblage:
and if we may venture a prediction,
wo would say that the commanding
general will not recognize it ns a part

ional” government is set aside in (lie
manner prescribed, and after the order
laid down in section five of the origi
nal reconstruction aet, and the corres
ponding section of the first supplemen
tary act. Wc expected an order to
this effect previous to this time, for the
reason that we have believed that the
disirict commander would follow the
plain injunctions of the acts, and we
have been somewhat disappointed.
We confess that he lias been very for
bearing towards a combination which
lias not even awaited liis proclamation
of the result of the election, hut lias
assumed to decide it for themselves, i
take possession of the capitoi, and fur
I tlier. ord"r the arrest of a state officer {
' under a government supported by the |
. military, as directed by law, for not |
recognizing their authority. But put- 1
ling out of the question tiie presump
tuous manner in which the body have
ignored tlie district commander, we
are inclined to believe that their session
will come to nothing, and that their
i greediness will not clutch that £122,00(1

Notwithstanding the great distress j
that lias prevailed in all commercial

few months, we have good reason to
be hopeful of the future. Much of the

good reason to believe that even this

Our city is beginning to take high
rank in manufactures, for which it has
great natural advantages. Our people
are beginning to see that it requires
something more than buying and sell

must he encouraged. Our commercial
men see that, unless the industrial in

millions we have invested in manufac

son but, as we are no “pent-up Utica,”
confined between hills like Cincinnati,
wo are extending over a large area.
The city railroads enable us, when
property is too high in one locality, to
easily seek another, where we can buy
at living prices. For manufacturing
purposes, this gives us great advan-;
tages.—Louisville Gazette.
The Jackson Whig, of the 28th, says:
A band of horse thieves tins been opera- j
thing in the counties lying along the
west bank of the Tennessee river for
some weeks past. Some of the rascals
ventured into two of Hie thickest set
tled neighborhoods of this county, a
short time back, and succeeded in mak
ing n big haul. We have heard of sev
eral citizens who lost each a horse or
mule, while one gentleman, 11. M.
Mason, Esq., residing near Spring
Creek, had stolen from his stable, in
one night, three very valuable young
mules, all he had. This is too had.
Vet we may expect an increase in the
number of these niaurauders, since j
their lives and liberties are under the
especial care and pardoniing grace of
our merciful Governor.
jQr-Gcorge Alfred Townsend writes
from Wasliiugtou: •‘ItoutweU is the
blackhuircd energy of this impeach
ment; Uingham holds the helm ; Butler
is the maintop, with a carbine to pick
the enemy off by glib shots ; Stevens is
the Admiral dying on deck; Wilson
and Williams are lliu handy seamen;
Logan is the boatswain who can yell
the loudest; but Bout well is the steady j
wind, blowing strong aft to carry the
vessel into action.

John Hardy is still in a critical con

When the owl is booting beneath the

the heels, cut his throat with an iron
hoop, and drip his blood in the hoof of

Best Family Paper in Arkansas.
The Citizen is presented to tlie people
of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem
ocratic weekly in the State. Althongh
independent in all things, and neutral in
nothing, it is emphatically a
FAMILY ITBYTOFAFSH,
And now ranks as one of the first in the
State. The greatest care will be taken to
make its selections choice and instructive.
A new feature will soon be added by pub
lishing a story each week, or if too long,
running it through two or three numbers.
The political complexion of the Citizen
is white—opposed to nogro suffrage and a
score of other Radical tenets, aud while
opposing them shall advocate the principle
that white meu should rule white men.
In times of great political danger every
man should take a paper, and it is more
than probable that the present year will
witness more political excitement and ex
traordinary political events than any pre
vious one of our nationality. Let the
people assist the Citizen by joining in
and making up clubs, and they will there
by render it a powerful auxiliary in their
warfare against hateful uegro suffrage and
the many other evils the Radical party
design thrusting upon the State.
Read the following club rates, which
are lower than those of any other weekly
west of the Mississippi river:
TERMS—CASH IX ADVANCE.

Messrs. J. N. Harris A Co.: lwillsay (hat
I have been dealing in medicines for the last
fourteen years, and have never before found
preparations (hat would equal your “PERRY
DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER’ and “ALLENS
LUNG BALSAM.” They not only sell very
rapidly, but give ttie most perieci sausiacuun
in every case that has come to my knowledge.
In my practice 1 very seldom prescribe a pa
tent medicine, but with your “PAIN KIL
LER” and “LUNG BALSAM,” having entire
confidence in them, and knowing that they
possess valuable medical properties, I freely
use them in uiy daily practice. Especially
have I used the*“ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM,”
and with the most unbounded success. As an
expectorant it is most eertaiuly far ahead of
any similar preparations I have ever yet
known. The “PAIN KILLER” is the most
standard medicine I have for sale, and many
families in this v cinity would as soon think
of being out of beef or bread as without a
bottle of “PAIN KILLER” in the house.
