DES ARC, ARK., MAY 4, 1867.
ARKANSAS.
In point of prosperity anil freedom
from politioul excitement, our State is j
cqnal to any pf her sisters of the pro
scribed Confederation. While North,
•South, East and West, the waves of po- '
litical contest lasli and foam, and spend
tlrrir fury upon party and principle,
here all is quiet, When we deemed it j
duty, we were as prompt ns any to aet '
for right, cmflmporn our Southern alters j
willingly offered onr sacrifices. thit
when this time passed, we were equal
ly in earnest in our desire to establish
peace iu a permanent form ami upon a
guaranteed basis. While we know the
national faith has been broken, and
many things havs been, and arc being
done, not in harmony with our feelings,
we hare submitted, and will submit,
believing it onr only course. Our peo
ple lmvc determined that their interest
is not in politics, but in labor; not in
repining and grief over lost principles,
bat in earnest endeavor to retrieve in
dividual prosperity. Arkansas is, to
day, as law-alkidiilg, as willing to be
governed by tire powers that be, us any
ot the Stain's whose noisy representa
tives heap unjust oppression upon us.
One of thwbest indications that the
people of Arkansas are alive to their
own interests, is their disposition to
give up cotton and plant corn. From
every part of the State we are informed
that a great majority of the farmers arc
planting much corn, and little cotton.
This argues well for our rapidly grow
ing State. Let her people once Imgin
to make bread and meat at home, and
political siorms win una i mum out Ju
lie
AN EDITOR 7n LUCK.
Onr brother that drives the quill for
the Helena Clarion, pitches into us in
1bc following style:
“Stick to the Mother Tonoie.—
Our brothor editor of the lbs Are Cit
izen heads an editorial ‘Cui lion a.,’ and
closes it with ‘Persevernmio vinect om
nia.'’ Better stick to plain English,
Cair, or review yoyr classics.'’
Shameon you, for this poor criticism.
You knew the fault was in the type,
Imt you needed an item. Sanders, you
are young, therefore we advise you.—
Do not expect one day to discover a
gold mine, because you found an error
in a newspaper; and always boar in
mind that'dveak critics magnify trifling
errors.”
AFFAIRS DfMEXICO.
They arc in some trouble over in the
Mexican country, but we scarcely know
wliat it is or how it will he settled.
Maximilian don't “tote fair,” iic ought
to have surrendered some time since,
according to advices, hut did'nt, and it
now remains a question whether he
will or not; of one thing, all seem cer
tain, and that is, affairs will he arranged
in Mexico before long, and that Maxi
milian will permanently leave the
country.
EUROPEANWAR.
Affairs seem lo be settling toward
peace in the old world. There is to he
a general conference in London next
mouth, in which all the contending par
ties will be represented. The basis of
the Conference lias already been agreed
upon, and as the iinal decision of the
conference is guaranteed by all the par
ties participating, it is probable that an
amicable settlement, of the much vexed
questions, will be made.
8s2>- Hon. John IV. Leftwish in an
able address to the people of the 8th
Congressional district in Tennessee,
announces himself as a candidate for
re-election to the National Congress.
In laving down his platform he is emi
nently conservative, and expresses his
determination to condemn the radical
principles advocated by some in his
State, and to battle for the principles
of right and justice. He is a strong
man. and assisted by such men as Eth
eridge and Baxter, will not cease his
efforts, until Tennessee is redeemed
from her present thraldom, and her
government brought back into tiic
baud of men worthy to administer it.

Military' on the Move.—From the
Fort Smith Herald of the 25th, we gath
er the following:
One company of the 19tli t\ S. ln
.. 0,1, 1..,, i.„«,,
dcrcd to proceed to Pine Bluff, Ark.,
and tlienee to Montieello, Ark., and
take post at the latter place.
Two companies of the 19th Infantry
now at Fort Gibson, are to proceed to
Huntsville. Ark., and one company of
the 19th Infantry at Fort Gibson, is to
proceed to Madison, Ark., on the St.
Francis river.
Company G., now en-route to this
Post, is to take postal Dover, Ark.
• Jirevet Major Smith has been relieved 1
from command at Fort Arbuckle, and
ordered to assume command of his
company, and post of Dover, Ark.
m
Bag* A late Washington dispatch states
that Attorney General Stan berry is pre-,
paring instructions for the officers com
manding military districts, on the ac
tion of state legislatures, disfranchise-.
ment and other matters.
In this way, uuiformitv may be had :
in the action ol' the various cowman-;
riera; audit is particularly necessary |
that some general instructions be issu
ed, that it may be determined precisely
who arc disfranchised and prevented 1
from holding office. On this point there
is great contrariety of opinion, and an
authoritative exposition will relieve
many from doubt.
Jell'. Davis lias been greatly af
flicted, but the most severe act of mar
tyrdom thus far experienced must have j
been the visit from Senator W ilson, j
the “stay at home" Colonel. It was a
morbid curiosity alone that carried
Wilson within the Fortress, and had
justice not beeu cheated of her victim.
Davis would have been sot free and the j
bolts turned on the New England dls
unlonist.
^ -
Hg* An English Urn* has offered to
pay the national debt of Columbia,,
amounting to $33,000,000, for ninety -
nine years lease ol the Panama railroad.
Blessing vrhich may be a Curse.
It is the common habit of .people in
iiis eoturfry to look upon the right to
rote ns a very great blessing. The nnm
ier of those who entertain this opinion
is very large, compared to the number
jf those who also believe that the right
to vote may be, and not nnfrequently
is, a very great enrse.
Suppose a political party, wielding
the patronage of government, and fill
ing every office with had men—thieves,
rut-throats. hypocrites and scoundrels.
With inch men to make and execute
the ia^s, can a people he blessed with \
good government ? Finding that pow
er is about to pass from them, the j
thieves, rut-throats, hypocrites and
scoundrels proceed to confer tlio elec
tive. franchise upon a class of persons
who have never been made acquainted
with its use ; who understand not even
the first rudiments of political econo
my ; who have lived and propagated in,
the lowest ignorance for ages. Having
done this, the had men in power bring
ever)' possible influence to bear, not to
enlighten the ■new-made voters upon
matters ali'coting their interest as citi
zens. but to make them vote, as a class,
for the retention in office of had men.
To say that the right to vote would be
a blessing, and not arnrse, to the class
which should thus he made to exercise
that right to their own injury, would
be to s|H‘sk very obvious nonsense.
Mow this is what the Jacobin party
has done, and is striving to do, with
reference to the southern freedinen.
The leaders in that party coteal to en
franchise the freedmen hi the expecta
tion that they could he used, as a class,
to continue llioso leaders In power.
They arc new engaged iai a desperate
clhirt ito realize that expectation by
nouncelling the freedmen to organize a
black mans party in the south.and vote
as a class to put certain northern white
men in office. If the freedmen listen
to these pernicious counsels, the right
to vote, instead of a blessing to their
race, will he a curse not only to them
selves. hut to the nation.
The right to vote is a blessing only
xvlien the possessor of it is left perfect
ly free to act upon his own individual
judgment. Whenever that judgment
is subordinated to the purposes or in
terests of another, instead of a bless
ing, the right to vote is a enrse fo its
possessor.—[Chicago Times.
——• •«—
fi-J?- It is nroner for the stood neonle
of Arkansas to know that the desper
ate and unprincipled characters who
gave tone to the late radical conven
tion, are busily at work in their nefa
rious scheme to poison tlie minds of
the colored population against the
moderate and respectable men of the
state. The vile means to which they
will descend, and the unscrupulous ef
forts which they will use. coupled with
the character of much of the material
it)ton which they may operate, makes
these men particularly dangerous at
this time.
The organization which tliev are en
deavoring to propagate throughout (lie
state, whether it tie styled tlie union
league or grand army of the republic,
bodes no good to the community at
large: and every good citizen should
contribute all in his power to discour
age tlie formation of secret political
associations controlled by men who
are neither reputable in character nor
desirous of accomplishing aught but
thc-promotion of themselves to places
of power and plunder. This matter is
referred to. that the people may lie on
their guard against the emissaries who
will circulate throughout the state to
sow the seeds of discord and strife.
Self-preservation should urge all who
ave anxious to preserve the peace and
quiet of the stale, to warn tho negro
population against tiie insiduous at
tempts which will be made to entice
them into these schools of devilty, so
that the scheme of the anarchists may
be nipped iu the bud. A plain and
frank statement of the situation to tlie
more intelligent blacks, will save us
much trouble, and expose the people to
less danger of starvation by the deser
tion of tlie crops at precarious periods,
by the field laborers.
This matter is one of very serious
importance and since occurrences, hap
pening within the pnst few days, have
transpired, relative to tlie organization
of those secret leagues, it behooves nil
to take pains to squelch that which pro
mises ruin to tlie state and profit only
lo violent revolutionists.—Little Hock
Gazette.

Press.
Genti.emen :—1 have labored all my

The results of the war have swept

the same time, every housekeeper will
find it an invaluable companion.
I have engaged tlie ablest writers in
tiie South to aid me aud am determined
to make tiie Fanner a paper that shall
prove a blessing to my native land in
this her hour of distress and need, and
I hope it will be of good to other por
tions of the country.

Worthy of Note.—A Washington
letter says the subject lias been formal
ly discussed in the cabinet, and it was
understood to be the sense of the ad
ministration that the military comman
ders arc not warranted, under the re
construction act in removing civil offi
cers, unless they are in some way ob
structing the execution of the law ; and
that when such removals have been
made, even upon sufficient grounds,
the law does not authorize a military
commander to appoint their successors,
lie can assign military officers to per
form official duties which civil officers
fail to execute; but lie cannot appoint
attorney generals and other state offi
cers. This is merely the informal con
elusion of the administration, hut the
subject lias not been regularly before
the cabinet, nor referred to the attor
uev general.

of Fones k liro., on Main Street.. The ! *
firemen were on the ground promptly, and
the engine at work, before the fire had |

cumstance* connected with the origin of
the fire, there is hardly room to doubt that
it was not the work of an incendiary. At j •
the late hour of going to press last night,
there was but little chance to ascertain the !
amount of damages. Tho principle dam

OBITUARY.
On the 2nd lust., was deposited in its long
resting place, all that was mortal of one of
the purest and brightest gems of which Prai
rieCounty could boast, Mrs. Sallib Cordkll,
wife of II. L. Cordell, died at their residence,
six miles south of this city, on the 30th ult:,
&fter a protracted and painful illness. .She
was a member of the Des Arc Baptist Church,
which, in her death, has lost one of its best
id embers, the community a most useful lady,
lud hcT husband and children their earthly
itar. She bore her affliction with resigna
ion aud fortitude, seldom complaining, and
lever murmuring ; but frequently spoke of
jer approaching dissolution with as much
calmness as of a visit to see a friend. The
>right evidence of the genuineness of the re
igion she professed, cannot fail to tell for
good on all who saw her. While her body
