LOCAL IMPROVEMENT.
Local improvement lias been so often j
advocated in onr columns, that it is I
with some degree of doubt of propric- j
ty that we again approach it. Hut j
v. hen opportunity offers we cannot re- j
frain from speaking, if by speaking!
anything can l>c accomplished for the
benefit of our town and community.
The citizens of Pes Arc are not lack
ing in public spirit, nor are they be
hind tlie people of any other commu
nity in lending encouragement to such
measures as tend to the advancement
of our local interests. Hut the great
difficulty seems to he a want of har
monious action, whenever action is re
quired: from this cause arise tlie fail
ure* that cliaracterime the many efforts
that are made to improve nud'build up
onr town. A rchool house, or rather
the best means to build a suitable
house for tlie education of the children
of lies Arc, lias been canvassed until
every citizen lias become almost tired ,
of the theme; and yet nothing, abso
lutely nothing, lias been done toward
the furtherance of this laudable enter
prize. Private subscription as a means
lias been tried, and signal failure lias
been the result, Our corporate an- j
tlioritics have devised a plan to sell
off a portion of the Public Square for
the purpose of building a school bouse.
Hut this measure is bring violently op
posed by those who say they arc in the ,
right; and so in our present condition j
it seems almost impossible tvr us to
devise any means for the education ol (
the many children which arc growing
up in our midst. Not only does this j
division exist in this one particular,
but it is found upon every occasion
that presents itself. Let tlie enterprise
be of whatever character it may, divi
sions will arise and two parties will be
formed—this state of affairs cannot long '
exist and our town prosper. There are
improvements which must be made in
order to facilitate the grow Hi of our
town. We must not only have a good
comfortable school house, but we must
turn our attention to the opening of!
roads and building of bridges upon the
• aiiutn mvi vUpiimn.^ uiai iuiu iv mm
from our town. A very large portion
of the richest country from which Dos
Arc draws life is almost entirely cut
off from us by Hie impassable condi
tion of the roads in certain seasons of
the year. A. large portion of the coun
try northwest of ns cut off for want of
■a bridge across Bayou Dos Arc. Ef
forts to build this bridge have been
made, but with no seeming success, be
cause of the division existing amongst
our people; so also has the project of
opening the road from Des Are lo Cot
ton Plant met with some opposition :
lmt at Ihis time there is a likelihood of
something being done toward bringing
iis in communication with this rich
territory. We have spoken these
tilings that the folly of a perseverance
in this suicidal course may be seen.
Allhough Des Arc has every natural
advantage that she pos-ibly could pos
sess, these of themselves will not make
her a town. We need, in order lo car
ry out the great work of building up,
-a united, energetic community of citi
zens, who will work for any and every
measure that ha- for its cad the. ad
vancement of lies Arc and her inter
ests. Let us (ben cease to divide our
selves, properly consider our condi
tion, learn lo let politics and govern
mental policy alone, devote our atten
tion to local improvement, and we will
not only soon have it school house, but
our roads will be repaired, communi
cation opened up with the -tirruuml
ing country, and our town will grow
and prosper as il should.

NOTES ON THE SITUATION—XV 1.
si nos. n. n. hill, or oinui.v.
II tving show ii what every I'uir mini)
admits, and what every legal mind
must eonelude, that those military
moHsurcs are subversive of the Consti
tution and fatal In the very life of all
American principle- of government,
let n- now proceed to examine the
reason urged to justify or induce
their acceptance bv our pi opie. Alter
careful consideration I nud that all tiie
reasons w liieli I have heard or read are
included in the lollowing live proposi
tions ami allegation •:
J. We arc helpless, i( Js alleged, ami
can neither resist nor prevent the
■adoption of these measures.
2. That if we refuse to in cept this
plan of reconstruction, a worse one
will be provided. An H|>pcal to our
fears, ;uid therefore a strong or rather
dangerous position.
3. That if we reject tin's plan Con
gress will become more offended, ami
will eonliscale our property, and take
(lie substance we have lefl. This is an
appeal to our avarice—a very domi
nant passion of human nature.
t. That we of the fciouth are a con
quered people, and are hound to ac
cept the terms of tlie conqueror, anil
that these bills are (he terms of the
conqueror.
5. That the negro, bein-.r now free
mid made a citizen, is entitled both for
his protection, and in accordance w ilh
the principles of popular governun at.
to political as well as civil equality
with the white* race, mid that civil,
equality vv ill he idle without political
t quality.
This last position i- urged chiefly by !
Northern si rp| sorter- of these bills, and
lias a semblance of consistence and
principle, and I have, therefore, includ
ed it in Iho list of argument- or posi
tions to ho answered.
I have no difficulty whatever In liuil
itig the most satisfactory replies to all
these alleged reasons. Indeed, I affirm,
w ith absolute confidence, that all the
good which it is claimed will come of
the to ccptaiu c of these litea-tile-, w ill
collie and only come of tilt! rejection ;
and that ail the evils wlih hit is alleged
will re .uTt from their rejection will
U' • it. . >nd natural! re nit from
their acceptance. Hut I flml it very!
difficult while writing and impossible I
while speaking, to exhibit what i del
not feel: nml. \i Idle making the analy
sis, It w ill he a task to exhibit any res
pect either tor these positions or for
those who use them. For the educated
politician—the min who has experts
cnee in public .itfuii s and w ho aspires
and l.uUu s to tie » teacher and counsel
or of the people -and who urges these
teachings and counsels, am exceed
ingly filled with contempt;” because I
can out believe that stu b a man con
sciously desecrates the truth, and reck
lessly, but with most conciliating ad
dress, hazards every interest of Un
people only that lie may take the bene
fit of being “on the -troug side.” Alas,
what pen shall ever be able to recount
the countless honors which have re
sulted from—been wrought In—that
demoniac spirit of our political leaders
to be on the strong side, and to make
issues and pander to passions “to keep
the strong side!” This spirit made
“bleeding Kansas,” rent the i'nioti in
twain, drenched the country in blood
and elad the people in mourning: de
moralized, deceived mid betrayed the
most gallant people under the cycles
of the sun to the most humiliating sub
jugation, ami now counsels, urges,
threatens to compel dishonor to a peo
ple w ho have nothing but honor left.
l>ut I know that there are liiruy peo
ple who are honest, and even intelli
gent on most subjects, who commit
grave political errors and mistakes. It
would be strange if they did not when
there are so many influences to de
ceive. lu popular governments, there
fore. and more especially now, since so
much power is proposed to be given to
so much ignorance, it is necessary to
answer (ho knave in his argument lest
ho make u fool of bis hearer.
First, then, it is said we arc helpless
and cannot prevent the success of these
military biits. Well, if this is true,
WHY Act; ot K CONSENT? If success
does not depend ou consent, why beg.
and coax, and threaten to secure con
sent ? If we must bb disfranchised ami
have an “enemy's government" forced
upon us, spare ns the gratuitous dis
honor of consenting I if a liend, with
the power, should come to burn your
house, or rape your wife, or kill your
family, ami should cooly ask your con
sent, saying you had better consent,
for if you did not he would burn, or
rape, or kill anyhow, and perhaps, be
ing incensed by your refusal, do all:
would you consent ? I like Ihe spirit
oflbe olil Homan centurion. A de
cemvir—a ruler oftlio strong side—be
came enamored of the centurion's
daughter. lie first persuaded, but
persuasion failing to secure consent,
be resorted In bis power, the power of
l»ia nfflt'n. Wl'i'ii tlir» linnr wtirmrwnrl
helplessness was reached the father
snatched a knife and plunged it into
the breast of his daughter, exclaiming,
“This is all, my dearest daughter, I can
give thee to preserve thy chastity
from the lust and violence of a tyrant.”
And wluit was the result in heathen
Itome!1 The soldiers and people hon
ored the father, and rose with indigna
tion and abolished the decemviral
power of Home forever, and the guilty
decemvirs slew themselves. And to
this day this thing is told as a memori
al of the noble father, and of the glo
rious army and people who avenged
him. And the daughter's name was
Virginia. The virtue of all our daugh
ters, and the pride of all our sons are
secure only in our seu.-e of honor as a
people.
I’ut are we helpless ? If we conlcm
plnto resistance by arms, 1 concede
that, now we are helpless, lint our
strength is not in arms. Our strength
is in the Constitution. If the Consti
tution is strong we are strong, ami if
we tire helpless the Constitution is
helpless. 1 have shown il (hc-o mili
tary bills he forced upon us the Con
stitution is destroyed. On iU parapets
alone let us mount our guns and tire
on. The most startling evidence of
our progress toward anarchy, is the
idea with nine, 1 fear many of our
proplV. Unit the eoustilutiou can do us
no good. The very thought should
alarm even man on I lie continent who
j has property, or liberty or peace, or
: who desires to get or keep either. The
; only possible hope 1 have in the future
for anything good or sale to the people
of any seel ion or any color, is found in
the belief dial the constitution is not
dead—is not helpless. It has been sad
ly disregarded, abandoned and tram
pled on, I admit. Hut it- enemies are
too cruel. They insid upon dealing
their blows too often, loo quickly, and
recklessly. Their motives ure becom
ing nutuifeat. The murderer's intent
is at last being seen.
The people will come to the rescue ;
they will come in wrath, and these
.long rioting enemies will call wi the
very mountains to hide them. If I am
| mistaken ; if Ihe Constitution is dead;
if the people have lost the will to save
{ it ; this., patriots and Chritians, and
l all order-loving men. have but one du
ty to perform. That duty is to pray—
1 pray ramestl} - pray unceasingly, that
1 the t'a'sar of American liislor} would
come and come quickly.
Our noble Coventor sought to test
I he constitutionality of these mca-urcs
I before the Supreme Court l>v a bill in
the name of the State. I am glad lie
did so. It was a manly effort for which
I our children will praise hint. Besides
lie gave the eonrt an opportunity of de
ciding an important question which
may he one stay involved, lie failed
to get lliT test, because the eonrt was
not able to decide that it had juris
diction in the form in which tlm ques
tion was made; not because (ieorgiu
was not a State, but beoaue (ieorgiu
being a Slate the question, a.s made,
was political only. But the humblest
of the ti it million s of people of the It n
States, whose rights of person or prop
erty tire interfered with by one ol'these
military ortieors, can make tire
question, and make judicially; and
then the court must decide it. and w ill
decide it, and can decide it only in fa
vor of the citizen. 1 do hope that every
citizen, who.-.e property seized, or
whose person arrested, under pretense
of these military lii 1 Is will promptly
appeal to tlm law. 1 am aware that
our people are attempted to be fright
ened from this uppral. to the
courts because they are told it
will he years before this decision rail
he forced! This is not true. A decis
ion on a writ lichen* corpus must come
;7T unco from the District Court, and
in a short time from the Supreme Court.
But, if thi* delay is to defeat the appli
cation, w ould not people for the same
reason assert no right by the law, and
thus submit to all outrages or take Un
law in thuir own hands.' And must
the right on which all rights depend
be abandoned because the law is slow s
But, it is said, that while the courts
are waiting, the Congress will complete
its work. But, if the courts finally
hold that the work is completed with
out ugy authority under tiie Constitu
tion, will not all the work go for noth
ing ami our existing government he
restored.
But suppose it will lake one year, or
live years or ten years to "force the
court to a decision /" Would it not be
better to brook the court s delay for
even ten years than to accept anarchy
and slavery fora century ?
So, there is neither logic, nor sincer
ity, nor patriotism in this argument or
excuse, that we are bolides*. If we
consent to and accept these military
measures, then we are helplcs , because
they, by that fou tut. BCCOMl. \\lw—

these acts have no vitality. There is
