tmr A hasty glance at the present
•OTinrtfcion of affairs Is calculated .to
awaken suspicion of greater troubles
‘iaii are really to be apprehended from
our present situation. For two years
the journals of the country have been
holding out the hopes of the future to
tlie people of the South, promising and
predicting that unparallelled prosperi
(> w as iu store for us. In Arkansas we
'have w aited and watched for (lie happy
days .flint we fondly hoped would be
ours, ore 18*58 would have existence.
Rut alas these dreams are unrealized,
those hopes doomed to disappointment.
We are to-day at sea as much as ever,
w ithout a rudder and without u com
pass. The schemes of reconstruction
proposed have proven miserable fail
ures. Our new State Government (alas
Unit wc shOBlctamve s*icli agorcmnintt)
iia* not the confidence of the people.
Our law giver's arc void of wisdom,
patriotism and mercy. With this con
dition of affairs, can it be wondered
that dissatisfaction should exist, aud
feelings too deep for utterance rankle in
(lie bosom of those who have honestly
hoped for better things. With a con
stitution aud a legislature striving hard
to bike away from the true citizens of
our State every hope of place, position
or emolument aud give all into the
handls of interlopers and adventurers,
who have no interest but (lie greed of
gain : will it surprise any one that dis
satisfaction exists, and the prosperity
of our State ami interests is j coper dr/.
•ed. Xoiwithstancjsig so gloomy a pros
pect. we would say to those who will
heed our advice, stand by your home,
stay with your State; she is yours by a
better right than legislatures can con
fer; your home is yours; with it, you
have seen fortune go out; here you
have lost all : here is the place to seek
to find again. Let wisdom and pru
dence guide yon, and regardless of po
litical intolerance or legislative op
pression, wait your time, wait patient
ly, wait industriously, and good will
come. Hon't be so discouraged as to
give place to those who love Arkansas
not half so well as you. If we will
wait, leaving the developments of the
future to Him who's ways arc higher
than our ways, the right will triumph.
jiaaaj nn.ttiiwii
in a malarious country like ours, it
is a matter of the highest moment to
Hud an antidote to the infectious dis
cascs incident or peculiar to the coun
try; many remedies for Chills and
Ague, Chills and Fevers have been
tried, and ever and anon our ears arc
greeted with the ho! ho! 1 have found
il. I have found it! or Eureka! Eure
ka ! but still tiie miasmatic forms of
diseases prevail, and all the remedies
of the best authors in Allopathy, Hy
dropathy and Ilomoepathy have tailed
to present a permanent panacea. It
seems that the true remedy is too often
overlooked or neglected, to wit: modes
of life and habits of dieting, or rather
regular physical exertion and temper
ate rules of dieting. A few simple rules
well observed would conduce more to
the alleviation of the diseased of our
country tnan all the medicines named
in the Materia Metlicn, or Dispensato
ries now in use. if this statement lie
questioned, let us recur to the years ol
18t>2-3-4-->, when the people had not
access to Physicians and Drug stores,
and compare the state of the health ol
the people then with what it is now.
Luxuries had well nigh ceased, medi
cines were not to be lmd, and Physi
cians were not called in every time
one had a headache or a toothache, or
every time a child was a little sick from
eating too much, or lmd a bad cold. At
the close of the w ar the Southern peo
ple were doubtles the healthiest peo
ple in the world ; and that fact is readi
ly understood by all who look at things
in the two-fold light of cause aud ef
fect; “a priori, a certcrlori.'’ Abste
mious habits of dieting and active ex
ertion or practical employment, will in
nuy latitude develop a healthy people;
and the converse of this will produce
what we find in most places in our
country to-day, lazy, listless, sleeping
gormandizers, novel reading, sentimen
tal, fastidious fashionable, one-4iorse,
would-be aristocracy—a kind of pop
gun, penny whistle, non-puving set ot
parasites, leeches or vampvres—drones
of society that are eternally buzzing
and noising around to attract the at
tention of their own kind. And these
are they that would set themselves up
ns models for others to imitate and pn
tionize ; and these are they that patron
ize stay law's, exemption laws and bank
rupt laws, make most noise about pol
ities, liud most faults with things as
we liud them, iu short dud fault with
every body and everything, save and
except their ow n dear precious selves ;
these never do anything wrong; they
were born philosophers, came into the
world like Pallas, from the braiu of
Jupiter, full armed and equipped; to
move such would require the lever
that Archinddes w anted to move the
world; they are self-doomed to remain
eternally “in statu quo.” The best rem
edy for these is now' upon us, hard
times, scarcity of funds, no credit, and
none to help. The coal of lire is upon
the tarrapiu’s back. The ordeul is now
being passed that will purge, purify
and elevutc a people well nigh demor
aliz.cd. The remedy may be a bitter
one, but it will doubtless be an eflectu
sl oue : then let us bear ii like true men.

, that comes over the wires, the radicals
are in a state of great discomfiture, and
are generally, either reaching out to
grasp some new support, or talking
about “what they advised a long time
ago," and how successfully the scheme
’ would have resulted had some favorite
" policy been pursued. Beaten men arc

: cuse tlie disasters of the present.
• ■ Some eighteen mouths ago. the New
•' York Tribune was exceedingly anxious
- to trade universal amnesty for univer
sal suffrage, and cauic near forfeiting
its status with its extreme radical
• friends, for excusing its editor for go
ing on Mr. Davis’ bond. Since that
time it lias been spending its energies
on the one idea of congressional recon
struction. but suddenly it halts, casts
r; about and says with admirable sprit
: and candor:
We hold universal amnesty and im
' ! partial suffrage to be tho proper basis
■ '■ of tlie true and benifleent rccoustruc
- tion imperatively demanded.
What is it that induces tho Tribune
j at this late day to commence talking
about “proper basis,’’ and a “true and
| bcuificcut reconstruction” of another
i sort than that in progress ? The New
! York Times, too, is in a glorious state
■ ! of uncertainty, and ventures a faint re
. ] prouch on the extreme measures of its
■ 1 party, while the Cincinnati Commer
i cial regards, “universal prosperity as
• | paramount to universal suffrage,” and
• I the Springlleld Republican, an iiiflueii
. | tial radical journal, speaks out candidly
, and says, “our leaders have gone be
yond us. We shall cease to follow
I them,” etc. This uncertainty among
radical journals till over the land Is
marked, aud dissensions are springing
|- up of u most damaging character.
. None remain steadfast to tho true faith
| save a few petty sheets that were tliuu
| deling away on abolitionism, and
, higher law, forty years ago. The truth
is the radical train having lost the well
I beaten track of justice and truth, lias
come to a dead halt, and its guides are
groping about in tho fearful darkness
that surrounds them for a way out.
The situation must be decidedly uncom
fortable.—[Little lioek Gazette.
Last Saturday a ghastly specta
cle was witnessed near St. Louis which
sent a thrill of horror through the city
and makes all Christendom stand
aghast; About one hundred coffins
were seen flouting and dancing, gleam
ing, and swamping on the bosom of the
Mississippi river. This solemn voyage
of death and awftil procession of the
dead over the glassy waves of tho
treacherous river of death, was explain
ed by the fact that the graves of the
cholera victims at Arsenal Island have ;
been invaded by the current of the ri- j
ver, and the graves opened, allowing
the coffins and uncofliued dead to float ;
away toward Dixie. None of them
reached Memphis, us it is supposed tlie i
coffins were caught at Cairo to see what I
was in them.

J. R. GRAY, Sheriff,
And Ex-officio Assessor and Collector,
Prairie County, Arkansas.
Will Arkansas be Admitted.
AVc would be o]ad to quiet the anx
ieties of out- readers by answering this
momentous question, which, in private
intercourse, is asked almost hourly and
daily; but we regret to say that the
result is still involved in doubt, and
that, at this distance from the national
capital, we are left to speculation and
the theory of probabilities for an ap
proximate conclusion.
At the late election on the adoption
of the constitution, the radicals claimed
a total majority of 1,670. In securing
tliis majority frauds of Use grossest
character have been practiced, and bo
voml our power to fully bring them to
iiglit. During the progress of the elec
tion, the Democratic State Central
Committee received early advices from
precincts, townships and counties, with
usual accuracy, and the time elapsed
; since those returns came to hand lias
j been ample to "Herd opportunity for
i correction ; and, according to present
, data, the constitution was actually vo
ted down by a clear majority of fi,342.
To establish our claims, the central
I committee have, with much patient la
bor, and at consideable expense, for
warded to the commanding general of
' the district a large mass of evidence,
showing that ballot-boxes bad been
stuffed tiiat persons disqualified from
the privilege of franchise bad hern
I exercised once, twice, or more, by the
! same persons at di tic rent places; that
; electors, fully entitled to vote, had been
unjustly cut off; that ballots against
cons!i! i]lion bad been fraudulent I v dr
stroyed or changed; together with
other information valuable to the
military authorities, should they he
actuated by a desire to do justice in the
premises.
These facts in brief, corroborated by
an expressed purpose on the part of
the commanding general to hear the
testimony impartially, and do justice
in the matter, would naturally lead to
<lie conclusion that the present state
government will not bo changed, and
i that the proposed constitution will not
be accepted. Hut whether it will or
not is a matter of grave uncertainty,
for the reason that the party is forced
to a position of extreme desperation,
and will leave nothing undone that
might contribute to its further success.
The presidency is the first point sought
.to be made, if the accession of Ark
ansas would he likely to aid in tlie ac
complishment of that end ceteris pnri
, bus, the state will probably be accep
i ted, and her distinguished delegation
1 admitted to seats on the floors of con
gress. Hut possibly the great radical
council, reckoning on success without
the aid of the south, and fearing, as
| well, the censure of the north, at the
possibilty of these newly reconstructed
states passing beyond their control ut
j. their first elections, may wisely con
clude to drop them for the present.
Xew York and Pennsylvania are worth
looking after certainly, and the shrewd
radical leaders will not bo likely to
risk their tifty-nine presidential elcc
I tors to gain the five to which wo are
entitled. The Alabama rase is directly
iu point, and very well illustrates the
l'cpuotiraii esuianic oi me value 01 its
reconstruction measures. It would
have required but a little stretch of the
radical conscience, at its present ten
sion, to have taken Alabama in ; but il
was remembered how ominously Ohio
and MiHiigan, with their twenty-nine
electors, had whispered "beware!’
Aud so they passed her by.
I It is urged liy some, with much force,
that the radical party 1ms risked all on
its pet reconstruction measures, and so
I far committed its leading organs aud
public men to them, that il will before
! od to concede a quasi endorsement by
(lie admission of at least one state, and
that our own is probably the most
available. Nothing is more certain than
that the drowning monster will not
cling to this straw, when there Is a
; plank in reach. I f backing reconstruc
tion will defeat the party, reconstruc
tion will not be backed; and if it is
thought that the negro burden cannot
be borne, it will certainly bo cast off;
but whether timely enough to save us,
■ is a matter of doubt. The result will
probably be known within the next ten
days, and we await the expiration of
that time with deep interest.—Little
Rock Gazette.

In my practice I very seldom prescribe a pa

confidence iu them, and knowing that they
possess valuable medical properties, I freely
use them in my daily practice. Especially
have l used the “ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM,
and with the most unbounded success. As an
expectorant it is most certainly far ahead of
any similar preparations 1 have ever yet

of being out ’of beef or bread as without a
