Who was Responsible."—Much has been
said about the sufferings Federal prisoners
have endured from the inability of the Con
federate authorities to properly provide for
them, and the refusal ofthe United States au
thorities to exchange them. In K-t ruary,
1805, the week ofthe evacuation of Wilming
ton, North Carolina, several thousand Fede
ral prisoners were collected at Wilmington, to
be exchanged. But when the flag of truce
was sent to Schofield to know if he would re
eeivetbem, lrc replied to Hoke thus if -. o- no
time for an exchange of pr 1-tiers, and liny
had to be sent back a aiu to the interior -f

TO TH E VOTJEHIS
OF THE
State of Arkansas.
I present myself before you as a candidate
for the office of State Treasurer, and respect
fully solicit your support. To many of you I
am known porsonally, and to many, not
unfavorably I trust, by reputation. Before
the war, I was Register of the Land Office at
Fayetteville, and during the war, was elected
to the office which 1 now seek. With what
ability and faithfulness 1 filled these respec
tive offices, it is not for me to say, but may I
not believe that my conduct in the premises
was such as to have merited the good opinion
of those conversant therewith ?
My l'aflier moved to Washington county
when I was but a child ; the State has been
my home ever since; all the interests 1 have
are identified with her’s and yours. No one
deplores her present, condition more thanl do;
nor will l yield to any one, whether in office
or out of it, in the sincerity of my efforts to
bring about that harmony of action and kind
ness of feeling among our citizens which are
necessary to restore her to her former peace,
prosperity and happiness. One thipgis cer
tain, that to put her back where she was be
fore the war, we must bury the past, and ac
cept the issues of the war as the basis of'fu
ture action. To this end should all our efforts
be directed.
In fine, fellow-citizens, if elected, I promise
you to devote to the office whatever of ability
1 may possess. What more cau 1 promise ?
Of course in that event, you shall have my
thanks, but that you well know.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
