THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
A careful observer cannot fail to sec
that the pfople of the South aud of Ar
kansas particularly, have made a sad j
mistake in their reasoning, concerning
the products of their soil, and their j
ability to meet their liabilities this fall. I
We took occasion in ^onr last issue to j
say something of the folly of raising j
cotton so exclusively; which to some1
degree we repeat this week as facts, (
and time, but more fully demonstrated,
that the cost of raising cotton has ex
ceeded the price which the stable now !
brings in this market. These things 1
properly considered, cannot fail to im- :
press the thinkiug mind, and prove the ,
conclusion that next season will be un-!
dually hard upon the planter. During j
the whole of the season past our plan-;
ters, or the most of them, have bought;
corn aud provisions upon which to,
make the present crop, and a failure to
realize expected prices, leave* them as
far behind as they were last falWl'here
is one feature, however, in the devel
opments of the preseut season, which
is indeed significant. Most planters,
wliHc they pntrouized\coUoiv largely,
have not let the lessons of the past go ,
unheeded, but have made corn sufficient*)
for bread and feed for stock. Thus4
■while the signs of the times are that
znonev will be unusually scarce next
season, there will be a sufficient quan
tity of corn in the couutry to make
bread, and from this consideration, our
planters will not be compelled to mort
gage so heavily to make their next years
crop.__
How tho .Money goes.
The immense expense of the Gov
ernment of the United States has been
the occasiou of no little dispute be
tween parties, while it lias given the
tax-payer much thought in regard to
this matter, coupled as it is with une
qual taxation. Ex-Gov. Seymour, of
New York, in a speech at Albany, on
the 3rd inst., says:
When our Government entered upon
tie plan of governing the South by
military power, when it Resolved to
rapture the whole political structure
in one-third of the Union, by disfran
chising the intelligent white man and
giving to flic ignorant negro political
control, il increased the permanent cost
of this Governmcntabout two hundred
millions every year. The man does not
live who will see the day when this
military power and its fciyliil cost can
be cut down under the policy which
now directs our public affairs. Our
public expenses, apart from intercslon
the debt, hate gone up from $58 000,000
in i860 to about $185 000,000 in 1866 ;ll'
we add the interest on the debt, it foots
up $322 000,000. Our rulers are mak
ing beyond the cost of the last Demo
■* era tic administration, anil beyond the
interest on any debt, extra charges
upon the treasury of $127 000,000, or
w hat would be tile interest of five per
cent, on $2,500000,000, taxing the peo
ple as heavily as the debt. lint this is
not all. As these new charges are
counted among the expenses of Gov
ernment, they are prior liens,and must
be first paid.* If the pledges of the par
ty in power had been kept, to-day there
would have been but a narrow margin
between the claims of the bondholder
and the sum paid by revenues into the
national treasury. lint the world now
secs an army with banners, a host of
official*, and vast and corrupting ex
penditure wedging in between the pub
lic treasury and the public creditor.
The latter is constantly pushed back in
the order of payment, lie finds ids de
mand rapidly sinking towards the bot
tom of a lengthening list of claims.
Yet tliQ bondholders art* called upon by
the Kepublican leaders to act as a rear
guard to the hosts who are emptying
the treasury, and putting into theirown
pockets the money which should go to
the public creditor.
Tills is another peril to the holders
of our securities; the odium of taxa
tion is thrown upon them. The peo
ple are taught tlmt the money wrung
from them by the tux'gatherer all goeB
to the bolder of bonds, yet in truth
while $137,000,000 was paid for inter
est in 1866, $185,000,000 was given to
uphold armies and military power to
officials, to Freediueus Uureau to Iced
and clothe the negro, and other expen
ses growing out of the policy' of crush
ing out the Southern States. Men of
the North, vnu will soon find that the
fetters forged for the bauds of the South
are light, indeed, compared with the
yokes which are placed upon your
necks. The annual increase of the cost
• of our Government beyond its expen
ses in 1860 is fuual to the interest at six
per cent, upon a debt of $2,100,000,000.
ft im due to the Secretary of !hc Trea
sury to say that any warning In’ has
fiven against waste and corruption ha*
ceu unheeded by Congress. Are we
then lesseningour national obligations?

J0T We have received thu following
letter from Robt. T. Dodson, in which
he authorizes us to withdraw his name
as a candidate for the Convention:
Gentlemen — In withdrawing my
name from before the people, 1 cannot
but. thank the many mends who soli
cited me to become a candidate. It has
ever been my desiri to promote the in
terests of my fellow citizens, and to do
for my country all 1 could. I appreci
ate the confidence reposed in me by the
Convention at Dcvalls Bluff. Feeling
profoundly grateful for the friendship
extended toward me by the citizens of j
Prairie county, and for their assurances 1
of support in the coming electiou. I;
respectfully withdraw my name as a I
candidate for the Convention.
Respectfullv,
ROBT.' T. DODSON.

tST' Wc are authorized to say that
W. S. McCulloch, the Republican Can-1
didate for Convention, will address the ;
people of Des Arc aud vicinity ou next
Thursday evening at 2 o’clock. Every
oue is respectfully solicited to attend ;
as Mr. McCulloch is snxieus that the
people understand his views and posi
tion.
BSr The election for delegates to the
State Convention, and also, whether or
mot we shall have a Convention, comes
■off on the 5th of next month.
-A wed founded report has reached
the Helena Clarion to the effect that a
large number of navy pistols has been
whipped clan k-tincly to the neighborhood
of Mariana. If there is truth in the re
port, the people of that vicinity ought to
preseut the matter in proper shape before
the military authorities.
f®“Kx-President Pierce was serena
ded at Concord, New Hampshire, on
the night after the election news from
Pennsylvania and Ohio had been re-:
celved, and from hi* speech on that |
occasion we make the following ex-1
tract:
••Wavs, Munich, nil thy bsnners wave,
And charge with all4hy chltalry,”
for we are striking hands with yon in !
this great battle for nnion and iude-!
penacnce. Then came California boom-!
ing over rape and ocean to assure ns
Unit the Pacific lias recovered its feet,
and is ready for the great conflict; and
now I learn that we may hope for vie- i
tory in Ohio, which seemed like hop- <
ing against all hope. And, finally, old
sturdy Pennsylvania, which holds In
dependence Hall, speak words of ter-1
ror to the wrift.g, and encouragement j
to the right. I warn you, my friends,1
to note thes fact that fhesc triumphs,:
whatever they may be, are no party!
triumphs. They have risen In their ma
jesty, with* a consciousness of their
power, and disregarding party lines
and party aspirations, have been silent
Iv considering what belongs to them. 1
their children, and their country. 1 j
tijink the groat battle lias been fought
and wou. If the results are significant
in nothing else they are in this—that
the white race—our race—the Genqau,
Italian, Ercnch, Irish, Sk-oteh, and An
glo-Saxon people—arc still to he the
controlling power of this continent.
It is, for you, now, to remember yonr
duties—your fidelity to principles;
what you owe to your neighbors—
whether they agree with you or not—
and to take care that the public weal
sutler no detriment at your hands. 1
tlnyik von for your very kind growing;
aucknJt having strength in iny preseut
state o'f health to say uiore,l bid you
all good njght.”
Register.—An opportunity is still
offered to those who have failed to reg
ister, to secure the right to vote. The
board of .Registration is now in ses
sion at Hicks Station, and will continue
to register all entitled to this privilage
until tiie 4th of next month. Every
one who has not heretofore registered,
should tit once avail themselves of the
opportunity uow offered. Too much
importance cannot be attached to the
right of sufl'rage'iu our present pondi
tion. While it may not be vitally im
portant to exercise this right at the
present still occasious may come up
when all who have not registered, will
regret it sorely’. Therefore, we say
register and do it quickly.
-fi> If »■ -—
-From late telegraph reports, wo
learn that the judgments in the court
nT rlnSinu in ♦1m gmithfrn #nHnn nisixi.
awarded by flic court in June last to
loyal southern claimants, amounted to
$100,(XX), not to two or three millions
as he a; to fore reported. They have
becu adjudicated, and payments will
he made after a reduction of two and
a half per cent, by tbc secretary of the
treasury. These arc the first judg
ments rendered by the court of claims
in favor of loyal southern claimants for
colton captured by the U. 8. forces, the
proceeds of which were turned over to
the treasury.
Also, that letters have been received
from Thaddcus Stevens, in which lie
declares las intention to urge upon
congress, as soon as it meets in Novem
ber, two great measures osBential to the
safety of the country. The first is a
general impeachment law, defining of
fenses upon which an officer may be
impeached, and expressly declaring
that the officer shall ootftinue to exer
cise the power of his office during his
trial. The second law which Mr. Ste
vens intends to urge, » ill provide, un
der the authority of the constitution
and upon the principle of the declara
tion of independence, that no state
shall have the power to prohibit citi
zens of the United States, whatever
their race, color or religion from vot
ing for pfosident or congressmen.—
This law will establish impartial suf
frage throughout the union. Leading
republicans affirm that Mr. Stevens will
bo sustained by congress.

Jisjf-Weclip the following items from
the Little Hock Gazette of the 16th inst.
Tiik Coming Tournament.—The
tournament at the Driving Park, near this
city, has been postponed 'from the 23d
inst, to Friday, November 1st, in order to
suit the convenience of knights from a
distance who propose taking part in the
joust.
All tho necessary arrangements are
about completed. The grounds have been
put in fine condition; and, among -other
new features, we notice the erection of a
stand for the accommodation of spectator,
whicli will comfortably hold a thousand
persons- It is in close proximity to the
judges stand, ana trom it an unobstructed
view of the tilting
The silver tea set which is offered as the
first prizo is very handsome and worth
striving tor. Knights from all parts of
?he state arc iuvited to take part in the
contest.
—Wo trust that the conservatives
in every county will see to it at once
that good am! true men are run for I
delegates to the convention—such men
ss will, in ca.-e a convention is called,
oppose negro suffrage, disfranchise
ment aiul test oaths. Let thb white
men of the state put tu a protest
against negro supremacy that will be
eft'ectuail—at least, until congress meets
again.
-The New York Times has a letter
from Drew county, Arkansas, which says:
“This is probably the most intensely rebel
oouuty in Arkansas. Not a loyal paper is
read or circulated to any extent here.
Many of the whites are nearly as ignor
ant as the negroes. If flic people could
be informed wo could carry the county for
GYmvention. General Albert Kust is a
citizen of this couuty, and is hard at work
acaiust reconstruction. He made a speech
the other night, which was a feehlo effort,
so far as aigumeut was concerned; but his
appeal to Southern prejudice was im
mensely effective with the audience. He
said: 'Generals Lee, Johnston, lieaure-;
gard and myself are placed beneath the
brutal negro.’ ”
-A telegram totho llichmond (Va.i
Dispatch says that on Thursday the Uni
ted States authorities, who are returning
to the owners their farms in Norfolk coun- 1
ty, which had been squatted on blacks ,
during the war, went to Tailor's farms on
Willoughby Point, but finding the blacks
armed and refusing to vacate the land, tbe
officers retired, .Many farms in that dis
trict are similarly situated, and the ne
groes express a determination not to be
driven off. In the case mentioned it was
offered to transfer the negroes; to give
them w iso’s farm, but they refused.

For Ike Vet Are Uiliteo, ]
Mb. Editor:—t» your issue of the
18th, I notice a call on me, signed,
“Many Voters” to become a “No Con
vention Candidate,” to represent the
County, should the State call a conven
tion. Gentlemen, accept my thank* for
the hopor thus conferred, end kindly
permit me to decline a willing com
pliance with your requfest, in favor of
the action of the Convention to be held
in Brownsville on the 28th inst., for the
purpose ot nominating candidates, to
rnn in opposition to a State Conven
tion, but, to serve, if elected, and Con
vention called ; beside* f am no peli
tirian, or aspirant for political prefer
ment; yet, as yonr call has suggested
it, 1 will, if you will grant me your in
dulgence, submit some views, briefly
bearing sn the leones now before us,
trusting tlxy may meet your view* al
ready matured, as I entertain no hope
of my ability to alter the preconceived
opinions of any one.
In my opposition to a call for a Con
vention, 1 am in my own estimation,
fully justified and sustained in the be
lief that, no necessity exist*, nor can
any conceivable good arise to the peo
ple, from its action, nor is any good
contemplated to ns by those ia power,
who have originated the issue of Con
vention or No Convention. For my
self, and with an hoqpet purpose, keep
ing constantly in view, the welfare of
our unhappy people, and looking with
my short sight‘into the dark recess of
the future, I can, f think, deflue the
purpose of the party in power to he
tlrst, thiough the medium of this Con
vention to forefe the State of Arkansas
together with all other States of the
South into a recognition of the United
States Constitutional Amendment, as
passed by the Buiup Congress, thereby
precipitating our already unhappy and
distressed people into the most dis
honorable concessions yet made, more
to gratify the most loathsome and
malignant spirit of hutibd and revenge,
than in any way, to promote ouFpros
perity; you may consequently then
ask-, bow cau this be ? I will answer
that, through the necessity that will be
imposed upon us, or elevating* the
POLITICAL STATUS or THE N^OBO TO AN
EQUALITY WITH THE robs WHITE MAN.
To this 1 am diametrically and posi
tively opposed, and never will I con
cede to so great au error as virtually to
affirm that black is white, or that right
is wrong, or iu any way to fltteni pC to
alter or amend the “ways of God to
man.” But, vou may say this will aot
be incumbent ou the Convention;
should the State call a Convention and
fail to recogrfize this clause, theu will
its action be void and of no effect, be
cause of'its failure to conform to the
most prominent feature and incentive
that actuates those who exact it of us,
leaving the only result of au additional
burden of taxatiou ou the poor man to
support such foily.
Many reasou that, it is iufuinbcnt on
us to couform to this rule of action ;
such reasoning is but absurdity, and
those who thus reason, should their
views be sustained, will so^n regret in
bitterness of soul, the consequences of
such iucffalde folly, a folly that will
eventuate in dishonor, because it re
cognizes as a self-evident fact that,
Providence has decreed in error, and
as such it behooves us to use every
incaus in our power to defeat, and I
trust for ever put at rest so unreason-,
able an effort.
Again, gcutlemeu, with a view to a
refutation of the argument so often ad
duced by those who advocate the call
of a Convention &c., that is, that un
less we couform to this order that del
egates will be appointed by our Milita
ry Governor front each county to fVame
a Constitution fur us, and in conformi
ty to the wishes of the Radical party,
(still more absurd) thereby imposing
upon us exactions and penalties even
greater titan heretofore; meaning, I
presume, confiscation, etc. Be this as
it may, their purposes are already ma
tured and ilxed, and no action of ours,
however humiliating it may be, will in
auy way effect their purpose or miti
gate their intended severity. All that
we can do is to lend our assistance to
no end or aim that will eventuate in
our disltonor, but stubbornly refuse to
drink when the poisoned chalice is
placed to our lips. But the most po
tent lever iti their bauds is, that it will
in the event of our refusal, entail upon
ns a iiOMUD Military Government.
This argument may alarm the timid,
producing apprehensions and distrust:
be not deceived, uor allow vJc imagiu
ary horrors incident thereto to inter
rupt the even tenor of your lives. The
oulv inconvenience incident thereto are
now with Us; Gen. Ord is now exer
cising the functions of a Military Gov
ernor, and you as myself, have oeca
siou to rejoice and congratulate our
selves that we are thus favored in the
rule of oue who lias proven himself
thus far, both juit and humane. These
then are briefly my reasons for oppos
ing the calling a Convention.
The public iclud is inflated with the
belief of au existiug necessity, on our
part to do something to secure a rep
resentation &c; the inquiry would
nuturatly arise as to what t^at should
be, 1 Answer nothing ; continue with
out it as we are now doing, manfully
submitting to injustice, if any, holding
our integrity, the onfy remnant of our
birthright steadily iu view, patiently
••bearing the ills wc have, rather than
flee to those we know not of.”
Permit me then to stato what I de
sire first, I would have a continuation
of this military government, because I
honestly believe it will eventuate in
blessings to us, by banishing from our
midst all political agitatiou, which in
past, was a burning curse, aud will sb
prove in future if agaiu iudulgtd in
especially at this time. It was politics
that brought about aud effected our
present unhappy, distressed and im
poverished condition, consequently let
as have uo more at present, but rather
welcome and encourage a Military
[government for a time, that we may
turn our attention ; use oar undivided
efforts to promote the welfare, and re
lieve the distress of our families, de-1
rcloping as we are able fhe resources
of our country, keeping constantly in
view, a strict observance of and con
formity to all lhws and edicts, and my
word for it, by the time of Its with
drawal, we can rejoice in prosperity
equal to day* that have passed, profit
ing by experience sad and prolonged
that, too much politics ia a dangerous
thing. Then fear no tyrany or oppres
sion from a Military Government, con
form to all laws and ypn will meet
with no interruption in the honest pur
suits of life.
This state of affairs, gentlemen, would
I hare continue,, till other times, not
far 'remote, shall have inaugurated
other men, «r the envenomed feelings
»f those In power, shall hare subsided,
reason nssgimc its authority and de
monstrate the hallowed truth that,
“there is lore ip God and .sympathy In
the heart of man,” the* ( win be, ae

the will remain m now a refuge to the
distressed •of'Tennessee, distressed by
and through virtue of her having palled
a Convention, the action of which is
the direct and intermediate cause of
her citizens crowding our highways,
socking homes in our more favored
laud; let us then continue it as an as
syluui to her unfortunate people, by a
refusal to follow her example.
A few more wofds by way of a dis
posal of that, unfortunate people,*thc
negroes, and I will close. 1 truly sym
pathize with them, especially under
constantly augmenting difficulties (hat
surround them, aad With an honest
purpose of promoting their future
gotpi, would rejoice to sec them eleva
ted in the scale of morality and reli
gion, at the same time adhering to the
adage of "A place for everything, and
everything in its place.” It was for
merly the policy of the Government
and of those States that emancipated
their slaves, to colonise and send them
to prematurq graves, along the Man
grove skirted hank* of India. I trust
however, shpitld time and circum

will prompt Ihe exercise of justice to

-The London Times of the 9th ult.,
speaking of American politics, says:
The complication in the domestic affairs
of the United A'tates was never more re
markable than at the present moment.
The work of reconstruction has not actual
ly made progress, for all sections, of par
ties admit that the frame-work of society
in the Southern division of the Union is
as much disarranged now as it ever has
been. Government by the twyonet, and
forcible suppres ion of thought, which ev{
ery reflecting man in the country heartily
deplores, ana even the most extreme re
gard with secret aversion and misgiving,
seem likely to be extended through the
present generation. Tho Americau peo
ple are at length accustomed to a state of
affairs from which they would formerly
have turned with indignation—to the ex
istence on their continent of a purely mil
itary government over ten millions of their
fellow-cittixens, whose representative men
are under a ban; who are not only exoln
ded from the Federal legislature and Fed
eral offices, but are deprived of all voice
in the government of their several States.

Negro SuFfRAGE—The vote in Ohio
upon the Constitutional Amendment gran
ting to negroes the right of suffrage, shows
that it is tho rook on which the Radicals
have split. A very large portion of them,
while willing to follow the Radical party
in all of its revolutionary measures, eveq to
the point of burning over the South bound
hand and foot to the exclusive oontrol of
the negro, arc yet averse to giving to him
any power within the State of Ohio. We
frankly avow that for such persons wc en
tertain not the slightest respect' They are'
not consistent with their own principles,
and thus prove their hypocrisy. Nor are
they magnanimous or just. If the negro
as a class in the community be so unfit for
the elective franchise, or so dangerous that
in Ohk> ho cannot be permitted even to
enter the electoral Hate, what is to be said
of those who, in the «$uuth, would confer
upon him absolute power to rule States
where he has been held In subjection, and

-Contrary to the expectations ot

is nothing in tho Military Dills that 'e‘
quires Delegates .to the oouveution to taaC
what is called the ‘iron cUd oath.’ The
following is the order, dated at Vioksburg,
Sept, loth:
“It is the opinion of the General com
manding, that the oath required by exist
ing laws to be exsoted from members elect
ed to the convention, is the same as re
quired by Registers. It is a general prin
ciple of law that any one possessed of the
franchise is capable of election to any
offioe for which no may vote for anothor’s

thereof not being held under any State or

CfcusHiNo Taxes.—The taxpayer of
the country who has been co operating
with the party that has already brought
the couutry to the verge of financial ruin
has, in the following paragraph, food for
serious reflection. It presents one of the
beauties of Radical ascendancy:
The circulating medium of the country
it tho present time is about $750,000,000;
1400,000,000 in national bank note*. The
imount of taxes collected last year for all
purposes was about $900,000,000. Thus
it will be seen that had the taxes all been
payable at the same time, there would not
have been money euougb in the country.
!>y $150,000,000. to pay them. Isn't that!
i pretty commentary upon onr financial j
condition? Not money enough in the
jountry to pay its taxes for a single levy.
