8L^-^THE NEW YEAR.
pi; "\Vc wish our patrons ft happy Xcw
%'; Year! Old *66 lias shut his eyes to
fyf? pleep forever in the past, and we can
R not help wishing that much that trans
opft- jtired within the year slept in tlic same
■S tomb. The old year was an eventful
|p one. The country had just emerged
from civil war, the devastating marks
Bp of which could everywhere bo seen.
||i The great work of building up was,
I : commenced, and with such energy as,
BB to remove much that retarded |irogress
t I and introduced mueli that conduced to
II prosperity. Much has transpired tlirrt
M g will not soon he forgotten, and history
S f Inis been made that will add but little
%i to the hands that made it. As a Gov-!
■ ernment, we have made no progress.;
■ The old year left us where it, found us,!
y notwithstanding Congress, loyal
longues, conventions, committees of!
B investigation, etc. But the old year
■_,) with its failures and disappointments |
, J is gone, and we stand upon the tliresh
_ hold of another—the new born ‘07. Tn
■ the womb of the next twelve months is !
■ f locked «p many things that are, for our
B weal or woe. What blessings or what
fg cursings arc stored up in the future
B eannot he.told until time reveals them.
B We trust that we will lie dealt gently
C with, and that the last days of the pres- 1
cut.year will find us, as a people, much
H advanced in tlic paths of prosperity.:
I- Tn looking around us we note many

| last year. Onr country, in its local
f eoiulition, is certainly improved : and
our town, which one year agvi vo'e .,’j. j
• most lost in the fog, is now rich in
. promise of soon being (ho city of the
(State. Many changes have taken
place, but these filings all belong to
limp. In entering upon the new year,
wc have much to do. much to hope for.
J.et us work and hope and all may voi \
be well. Trusting that the new year
| vcill bring to all the realization ol' their
■' dreams, and to our patrons an abitn-'
,dant success, we wish them again a
; happy .New Year.
It lias now been ten mouths since;
1 Wc began the publication of the Ctn-1
l vkn. The initiatory step to tlic,entcr
' . prisp was taken under rather unfavor
able circumstances. It had been but. «i
short time since the war had ended,
j .. leaving the country in an almost im
poverished condition, and the people
were necessarily overlabored in re
r pairing the losses they laid sustained
’during the conflict. It could not be
exported that min is time would be giv
en to reading newspapers and discuss-I
itig the political situation. But as we
have said before, we thought the times
demanded a newspaper. AVc went to
i .work. From (lie beginning we have
I received constant assurances of sup
port from those who wore friends to
the paper in former days. Wc have
not been disappointed; but, on the
- contrary, have lmd our greatest antici
pations fully realized. To onr friends
r who have interested themselves in our
behalf, we tender our most grateful
thanks, and shall stand ever ready to
reciprocate their kind offices,
y AVe begin the new year full of hope.
j The genol-ous patronage that lias been
/ bestowed upon us has enabled us to
f reduce our subscription to two dol
I | EARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR. This !
I will make the Citizen tlie cheapest!
I family newspaper in the State. Wc j
I fui-nisli a paper to many who are now
/ without because of the subscription
price. Should tins movement meet
with the encouragement that we ex
pect, we shall soon be able to lay be
fore bur readers a paper in no way in
ferior to any in the State. It shall,
contain the very host selection of mis
cellaneous, rending th:J a large ex
change list mav afford. Nothing shall
- m * 1 • * i
appear in its columns that is not
thought to he beneficial to a high moral
training, and all matter will be care
fully excluded that might tend to give
jt licentious (one to the sentiment of
flic succeeding generation. All the
political new s of the day worty of
space will be admitted and commented
upon, but at the same time w e shall
make it a point to avoid the useless
abuse, vituperation and slang-whang
ing that has recently become so com
mon with a great portion of the press.
For the benefit of the farming commu
nity we will give space to all agricul
tural matter that may he suggestive of
any improvement in our system, with
a short exhibit of (lie domestic and
foreign markets. In short, nothing
that can render it desirable as a family
journal will be left undone. With
many great incentives to labor, we
shall enter upon the work w ith a new
' energy, and no pains or expense, how -
ever great, will bo spared that will
make our sheet efficient in promoting
the best interests of our country and
aid in the amelioration of our kind.
l&iy' It is now said that there is little
doubt but that*!be Supreme Court will
decide the test oatli to In* unconstitu

know iug ones that a decision to that
effect has been prepared, w hich is so

abandonment of the oath in future.

Confiscation Illegal—The Courts
against it.
Wo learn that a very important case
has just. boon decided in the Morgan
county (la.) Circuit Court. It was no
less important a suit than ode brought
by Messrs. Oylcr and Bantn, of litis
place, for the possession of a certain
tract of land sold and confiscated bv
the United States, during the war. as
rebel property. The occupant set tip.
by way of answer, the decree of the
United States Court and the deed o.'
the United States Marshal to 1dm, which
brought before the Court the merits ol
the whole case.
The ease was fully argued on two
separate occasions, on the Inst of v hich
.Judge Baker of one of the Southwest
ern Circuits presided along with Judge
Eckles, President Judge of the Cth cir
cuit. After mature deliberation the
Court came to the conclusion that the
sale was null and void, and that as a
consequence the plaintiff was entitled
to immodintc possession of the prem
ises.
If this conclusion of the two learned
Judges who presided at this trial be
the law, as we luivo no doubt it is. those
unfortunate women and children who
happened to live in (lie South ditrjng
the existence of the rebellion, and who i
had their reality lying in the loyal
States confiscated, have nothing to do ,
but bring suit for possession, ai d thev
will be reinstated in all their original
rights.
But who will get the rents and pro
fits during confiscation. This is a nice :
question ; hut wc presume the courts
will give it to the rightful owner of
the land, a suit being brought.—John-1

The Arkansas Bepublionn convention I
was held at Fort Smith on the I kith

NEGROES ABOVE WHITES.
Senator Snulsbury, of Delaware,
lately introduced into the United!
States senate the following petition
from adopted citizens. It is a good
hit upon the legislation of the rump:
AV hew: as, During the month of De
cember, 18ti(!, an net passed both
houses of congress, granting- to the
African race the right of suffrage in the
District of Columbia, at the same time
excluding from that privilege all cmi-1
grants who have not resided five years
in the country and become naturalized
and thus depriving tTieni of the inal
ienable and innate right of manhood
suffrage, so highly prized by our loyal,
congress; and,
Whereas, AVe venture to believe the
Caucasian emigrant, whose intellect,
industry and wealth have contributed
so much to the unparalleled progress
of this country, is just as good, en
lightened and deserving of political
privileges as the Arriean, just emerged
from a state of slavery ; and,
AVhereas, The Caucasian emigrant,
though white, is a man possessed of
manhood, and consequently entitled to
manhood suffrage;
Therefore, we, the undersigned, nat
uralized citizens and emigrants, who
have declared their intention to be
come citizens of the United States, be
ing all white, of the Caucasian race,
timl itc! il on f G iaT hioiioi.f »»l* /"Vv
linnbia. very respectfully,, ami most
devotedly, petition your honorable
bodies to amend the above act in such
a manner as to put all whites, of the
Caucasian race, who are either citizens,
or have declared their intention to be
come citizens of the Cnited St ios, on
an equal footing with the negroi , and
extend to them the same rights ami
privileges enjoyed by ihe latter.—

is that they shall be over twelve year.
of age, and bid fair when educated t<
be honorable and useful women. Tin
South should train its own teachers and
no longer be dependent on the Nortl
for its educators. In these days of ra
pidly varying fortunes, all fathers
should train their daughters so as to
enable them to take care of themselves.
I know of no way of.doing fids better
than to* fit them to become the teachers i
of youth. The education that fits them
for that prepares them to adorn an .
other position, no matter liow high, j
which they may be called to till, and i

Where ministers are not able to pay hai f!

Ts Alabama a State or a Territo
ry?—The question of the status of the
Southern States lately in rebellion is
about to come before the United States
Supreme Court for decision. A man
named Jordan was recently brought;
before the Federal District Court sit
ting in Montgomery, Alabama, on a
charge of felony, and having been
found guilty was sentenced by Judge
Busteed to twenty-one years’ imprison
ment. Iiis counsel have determined to
apply to the Supreme Court for a writ
of habeas corpus on the ground that
Alabama is not a State, but a territory,
and as such .J udge Busteed's District
Court had no legal status. The matter
will thus he brought fairly and square
ly before the learned judges ot' our
highest judicial tribunal, and if they
will meet the question openly and ren
der n plain decision wo may expect a1
solution of what is now a very compli
cated political subject.

“It can never be in this country, with

would he so far forgetful of his duty,
as to order the execution of a man that

according to know law, sent it to the
Supreme Court Of the United .States for

injurious to the .executive, and we dis
miss it front further ‘consideration.
There is, therefore, nothing to hinder
this Court from an investigation of the
merits of this controversy. The con

was ever considered by this court, nor
i one wlucli more nearly concerns the
rights of the whole people, for it is the
birthright of every American sitizen,
when charged with crime, to be punish
ed according to law. The power of
punishment is alone through the means
which the laws have provided for that
purpose, and if they are ineffectual,
there is an indemnity from punishment,
no matter how great an offender the
individual may be, or how much his
crimes have shocked the sense of jus

safety.

her stay on earth was short; but her
faith in God was strong and abiding.
During her sickness she praised God.
