DES ARC, ARKANSAS:
Saturday Moralpy. Sot. t, I8<7.
CONVENTION - AND WHAT OF
IT.
On next Tuesday, tho people of
Prairie county will be called ulhu to
say whether or not by their voice, a
convention shall be called to frame a
constitution for the Government of
Arkansas in futnre, and if called who
shall represent them as delegates.
Men differ as regards the importance
of this step, as they differ in every oth
er political measure; there are those
who say, it is for tho bc6t interest of
Arkausas to call this convention and
by its action bring our State into the
Union and secure such rights ns under
onr present form of Government are
denied us. Yet, those who claim this
do not tell ns the how or from whence
theso benefits flow. No guarantee is
given that the condition of Arkansas
will be in tho least bettered, and al
though tho congressional plan Is for
the reconstruction of the South, still
it is not on record that nothing more
will bo required, when these measures
arc complied with. Under this Bill
the best element of society is disfran
chised while the elective franchise is
conferod upon a class of individuals,
that cauuot appreciate it, and are not
prepared for its exercise. Again we
can see r,o justice in this Congressional
plan of Reconstruction ; it takes from
our best citizens those rights which we
inalienably theirs and which were
honestly scaled to them by the condi
tions of tho surrcntler which brought
peace IU IUU wuiur), uuu tuuiun V
eleges upon an element that cannot
benefit the government and to whom
the government is not in the least in
debted. #
It cannot for a moment be supposed
that tlie people of the South will ac
cept this proposed plan of reconstruc
tion, and upon it organize the govern
ment of the States. The faith of tho
party in power lias been broken, and
there is no security that it will ever be
kept.
If it is the desire of the paTty In
power that the people of the State, rc
con-truct the government of their
State, why docs Congress reserve the
whole power of rejection or accepta
tion of their proposition at pleasure,
there can be no democracy in thus
smothering and rendering of no avail
the voice of the people. There has
been no other than the Congressional
plan proposed for the reconstruction of
our Stato government. To that plan
we abb opposed, for we do not believe
the people of Arkansas want such re
construction, and being opposed to the
Jdan wc must of necessity oppose a
Convention. No possible good can ac
crue to Arkansas from this conven
tion ; for unless the actions of its dele
gates be in conformity to the require
ments of tlic “powers that be,” it will
avail us nothing. With these lights
before us, as it is tho last time we can
speak of this subject, our advice and
position is no convention, but in the
event a convention is called, let us
vote for conservative delegates, not
that they can do good things for ns,
but that the objoets of the Radical par
ty may be defeated and they rendered
powerless to inflict upon us additional
wrongs.
SPEAKING ON THURSDAY.
On Thursday last the caudidutes for
delegates to the Congressional Conven
tion, if one be called, addressed the
people of Des Arc, stating forth their
views iu regard to the course to he pur
sued by Arkansas in the remodeling of
the State Government. A respectable
audience being assembled about S
o'clock Mr. W. 8. McCulloch, the
Union Republican Candidate took a
stand and delivered a speech in which
he declared for negro suffrage—recon
struction upon the Congressional Plan
and we see all the principles set forth
in the platform of the Republican party
of the State. Mr. McCulloch’s speech
showed him to be a Radical Republi
can endorsing that party to the letter
and favoring their plans of reconstruc
tion and noue other.
Mr. mcks, the nominee of the con
servative party, in Mass Meeting nt
Browsville, next addressed the people.
He said ho was personally opposed to
a convention—that he could not en
dorse negro suffrage, that he would not
sanction by his voice or vote disfran
chisemsnt of the best citizens of Aikaii
sas. lie declared for conservative
principles und thought that it was uu
just to ask more in tho Constitution of
Arkansas than was in the Constitution
of Ohio, and some other western States.
These titates had voted down negro
suffrage, it was act in their Constitu
tion, and there was no justice in asking
Arkansas to do more than Ohio and
other States had done.
It. S. Gantt next took the stand and
in a lengthy speech set forth his views
in regard to the importance of the can
vass now at hand. Ho endorsed the
position of Mr. Hicks, and justified tho
action of the late Statu Legislature in
votiug down the constitutional amend
ment. In his judgment it would have
been to ihe dishonor of the State to
have accepted the terms proposed in
the reconstruction bill; that the policy
of tho State should be to send such del
egates to the Convention as would re- j
fleet the seutimeuts of the people; as ■
would reject the congressional plan
and givo to the people and congress a
constitution that would satislj the peo
ple. If this course does not secure our
admission into the Union, that the time
would come when we would be allow
ed to reconstruct in our own way, and
form a government that would shed its
blessings upon all alike. He called up
on the people to he firm, to hold out
faithfully in defence of their own hon
or aud right.. Time and space will not
ullow a full report of this gentleman s
speech; it was eminently conservative j
i ■ ——— .■ 1
aud opposed at every point to the meas
ures proposed by the Radical party.—
At night Mr. Bancroft, the nominee ol
no party, and representing wo don’t
know what, addressed the people. He
started out with the announcement that
in ’fll he was a Douglas Democrat, that
he was not and had never been an abo
litionist. Flo said he was opposed to
j negro equality, had not and would
' never say that one negro was as good
as one white man ; that the require
ments of the reconstruction act were
upon us because we had refused to rat
ify the constitutional amendment.—
These laws he said were made by stay
at-home politicians; the soldiery had
nothing to do with it; if the settle
ment had been left to the field gener
als it would have loiig ago been finally
made; yet, the terms were as mild as
wc could in reason expect; that not
ouo southern 9oldier expected at the
time of surrender that he would ever
be permitted to participate in the ad
ministration of the government. He
further remarked that while he did net
endorse the congressional plan of re
construction, he accepted it it as the
best thing that wo could get. Negro
suffrage was fixed and we could not
avoid Ft. Much more he said which
wc have not space to record.
Col. Gantt, in conclusion, replied in
a short speech in which he reiterated
what he had previously said, and an
swered such arguments as Mr. Bancroft
had used in his speech.
Taking the subject of the speeches
made, we conclude that Mr. McCulloch
Is aetraight out Radical; Mr. Bancroft a
Conservative upon a ,Radiral platform,
which to us is a strange position. Mr.
IIicks and Col. Gantt arc the Conser
vative Candidates advocating conserva
tive principles, and as such are before
the people.
On next Tuesday the people of Prarie
I'minfp ninat phnmifi hpfarnon thpufl
men. The principles they advocate are
known, and we do not hesitate to say
that it is to the interest of Prarie eonnty
to support men who will reflect their
sentiments. Believing this, we an
nounce ourselves unqualifiedly in favor
of AV. F. Hicks and It. S. Gantt.
jQrThe following item we take, from
the Van Buraii Press, and we think it
admirably portrays the "loir’ clement,
in some respects, that are canvassing
this county in favor of reconstruction.
The Press says:
“ A Radical friend of ours said, the
other dav, ‘that no man ever heard him
say that he was in favor of negro suf
frage.' Yet this®sume man, although
ashamed to acknowledge, personally,
that he is in favor of negro sulfage, sup
port and is an active supporter of the
Radical platform and party. Look out
for such men, They do not really want
the negro made equal to them, yet they
want them us stepping stones to office
and power. Verily the poor negro is
in a bad fix—they want him, and they
don’t want hint. Let every voter scan
well, who is now advocating the Radi
cal doctrine? who he is; what he wants
and judge for themselves. If they arc
old citizens, ask what they want—what
offices: if they are new men and ad
venturers, (and no itgw men aRk offices
but adventurers) why the thing is pat
ent itself. Look out, and examine who
and what they are.
MasB Meeting at Brownsville.
Pursuant to a published call, a mass
meeting of the citizens of Prairie coun
ty, was held in the School room, at
Brownsville, on Monday the 28th ult.
John W. Adams, Esq., was called to
the Chair and D. Nichols elected Sec
retary.
The Chairman in a few words stated
the object of the meeting to be the se
lection of suitable candidates for dele
gates to a State Convention to form a
constitution for the State under the re
construction laws of Congress, if such
a convention be held.
On motion, the Chair appointed
Messrs. T. E. Emmcrsou, A. A. Pitt
man, J. R. Alexander and W. F. Black
wood, of Caroline Township ; Hon. AAr.
T. Jones, Q. T. AVcbstcr, F. M. Griffin
and I. C. Hicks, of Prairio Township;
David Sparks, AVm. Hendricks and
AVui. Robinson, of Centre Township,
as a committee to select and recom
mend to the meeting two names of
gentlemen suitable for candidates.
During the absence of the committee
the Hon. B. C. Totten addressed the
meeting and iu an able manner advo
cated the expediency of calling a con
vention ns required by Congress.
TKa PAtnmllfaa rpnnrfptl lln* nnmon
of Wm. F. Hicks mid llou. It. S. Gantt
as candidates. Mr. Gantt asked to be
excused from running, and on his mo
tion a new committee was appointed
to make another selection. After con
sultation the committee again report
ed the uame of JIou. It. S. Gantt, and
both reports were unanimously adopt
ed.
Messrs Hicks aud Gantt in response
to calls for them defined their position
in short speeches, lion. W. T. Jones,
was called out and in a few able re
marks opposed the calling of a con
vention, but urged tbe people to be
united on the gruat questions at issue.
Mr. McCulloch, candidate of the
Union or Jtadical party was called out
aud at some length advocated the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction.
On motion, the Secretary was in
structed to furnish a copy of the
minutes to each of tho Dos Arc papers
for publication. Adjourned.

A Crre rou Chills.—About two
years since, says the Columbus (Ga.)
Enquirer, we stated (hat a citiaeu of
this vicinity had told us that be bad
broken and cured a spell of fever by
the use of pure apple vinegar—drink
ing about a wine-glass full at a time at
intervals before the time lor the re
turn of the chill.
The Home (Ga.) Courier reports
cures by the igime course in its neigh
borhood. It says that a lady faiend
lias known this recipe to be used in |
many cases, aud has never known it to
fail in curing chills aud fever. Take
a wllie-glass lull of tbe best apple yin- j
egar for nine mornings in this wav:
Take it three successive days, then
omit it three days, and so on until the
vinegar has been Liken nine morniugs
iu all. 'The vinegar must ho a first-rate
article of apple vinegar.”

Plan to Harmonise the President
and Congress.—A Washington special
telegram makes the following an
| nouncomeut:
I An important proposition hns just
been started by influential republicans
1 which scorns to meet with considerable
I flavor, and may have a controlling in
fluence upon the action of congress at
! the approaching session, and upon the
next presidential election. It is that a
congressional committee shall he ap
! pointed, by (he consent of all senators
laud reprsentatives who concur in tlic
proposition, to wait upon President
j Johnson and request him to state doii
| nitely what plan he has to submit for
, the speedy reconstruction anti admis
| skm of Jtlie southern states, as he has
I hitherto opposed every policy that lias
been Initiated by congress. They pre
sume that he has a definite practical
plan ofrcconstruction in his own mind
which he believes would be effective
and which would meet his approval.
| They would then ascertain to acortain
I ty whether there is any possibility of
I the legislative aud executive branches
j of the government harmonizing on a
i policy that would restore the ex-rebel
| staltes to representation before the next
i presidential election, or whether the
country must remain in its present
condition, until those two branches
shall be brought into accord bv the de
cisions of the ballot box in lSflS. At
tempts have before been made to patcli
up a compromise between the presi
dent and congress, but they have been
only individual volunteer efforts. The
proposed movement contemplates the
■concurrence of a sufficient number of
republicans to secure a majority ofcach
bouse should any agreement be possi
ble, aud the application te the presi
dent will be formal and authoritative.
It originates with those who fear im
peachment. may bring a destructive fi
Baucial crisis upon tire country, and is
said to meet the approval of’ senator
| Morgan, of New York, aud other rep
I vesentatives of constituencies particil
i larly concerned in the financial pros
; perity of the country of the country,—
It would moreover form the nucleus
of a new constitutional party all over
the Union.
-The Times Richmond special
says-the polls in three of the wards in
! that city w ere continued open yester
day for the benefit of the registered ne
groes who were unable to vote previ
ously. The whites were in the majori
ty Wednesday night, but the scale,
were soon lured in favor of the blacks.
11:30 a. m. yesterday morning, Gon.
Schofield closed one of the polls, and
soon after an another, leaving open the
third, where the blacks massed them
selves to the exclusion of all others.
The whites were crowded out and
riotous disturbances became frequent
along the excited multitude, which re
quired the military frequently to quell.
Uuuuicutt, jr. was found tearing up
conservative tickets in the hands of col
ored men, and promptly arrested by
the military and lodgod in Libby
piison. He was released in the eve
ning by General Schofield. At 11:30
p. m. the polls were still open, the
blacks appeared to be innumerable.and
their voting may continue all night.
! These election* may be contested, and
the conservatics w ill issue an appeal to
I the people of the county protesting
! against the manner in which tho elee
j lion lias been conducted.
-The following important item
! relative to the trial of Jefferson Davis
settles the existing dispute, as to wheth
er Justice Chase will preside:
Washington, (Jet. 22.
j I)kak JunOK Cndekwood : On rc
: flection 1 think it best and advised the
district attorney, Mr. Chandler, that
■ I will join you in holding court in Rich
j inond on the 13th of November, if any
i important business to bo transacted.
Mr. Chandler, 1 think, should notify
! (he counsel of Jefferson Davis of this
| in order that he limy appear and take
hie trial, if he sees fit. As his hail was
taken for his appearance on the 4th
Wednesday in November, he is not, it
is true, bound to appear earlier; but,
as it is not possiblo for me to bo present
except tho first week of the term com
mencing on the 4th Weduesdav,because
of the term of the supreme court com
mencing on the following Monday, it
may be that Mr. Davis and his coun
sel will prefer the trial to take place at
the earlier period, as it is understood
that they wish that the chief justic may
be present.
Yours, very truly.

-In auswer to calls for informa
tion us to the lights of persons to use
timber on homestead entries, the com
missioner of the general land otlice has
replied as follows:
A homestead settler has the privi

settled on by him, for the improve
ment of the premises, but not for sale
or speculation.
There is an erroneous impression

homestead claimant shall have rosided
upon the land claimed, for five years,
anil made final proof according to law,
and obtained ids patent, this fee simple

and tlie timber growing thereon must
be protected the same as other public
timber, subject only to the privilege of
