Governor Clnvton issued a procla
mation on tlie 11)1 li inst. restoring civil ;
law in this county. It lias now been
nearly two months since mart tail law
was declared and wc have not beard ol ,
n single person being arrested lor tlie |
purpose of being tried for treason
against the State of Arkansas. It
there lias been any offense for which
martial law might properly have been
desired, this militia certainly lias
proved very ineffectual in finding the ;
offenders. Waiving all question as to j
the right of the Governor to proclaim
martial law, have we not n right to ,
charge him with maladministration ot
tho«governiJieiit, and a show n desire to
tyrannize over and oppress a people
who bad no voice in placing him over |
them as a ruler? Unquestionably we
have, lie lias permitted every specie
of corruption ; lie lias used his high
office exclusively for the advancement
©f party interests and entirely ignored
the welfare of the Slate; lie has ap
pointed revengeful and incompetent
men to the command of districts where
they hud personal spite and malice
against its people; he has made auxil
iary troops of men who were nothing
more than banditti in another State,
and they have robbed our people for
their services as soldiers ; and lie keeps
officers in command who are constant
ly permitting the grossest outrages to
«C* pcrjMM raivu u\ uium- mmu nn.il
command on old age and inoflenshc
woman. The eil'ccl of his declaration
of martial law in this county alone has
been to drive scores of good and use
ful citizens from our State and deter
as many more from linking their
homes here. It lias destroyed confl
uence in the government and kept
back all kinds of enterprise. It has
ruined the planting and mercantile
interests entirely. Will not the Leg
islature take some acl ion in regard to
(he militia bill ? Have they no inter
ests at stake whatever that will render
them uneasy about the future? How
much more of murder, riot and out
rage is there to be permitted be lure
(he error will be found? Me hope
there will soon be an end of it.

‘General JiiUlor. the niun lejccted by
tlie extreme Radicals ot tlie tilth eon
grcssiotial district of .Massachusetts, but
re elected for all that by an oveitrbcUumg
majority, achieve ! yesterday, hacked by
the potential Mushburue, a very impor
tant victory in tlie House i f Representa
tives in behalf of a new detail tore ot the
Republican party under Geneial Grant
His bill lor the repeal of the 1 enure--of
office law, under the whip and spur of the
previous question, was brought to tlie
decisive vote and passed—yeas 1-1, nays,
47.
The affirmative vote as it will be seen
included all the Rcmoerals; the negative
vote is all Republican, and embraces sueli
Radical extremists as Scbcnck, Mhellabur
ger anil Garfield, ot Ohio, Jcni-kcs ot the
civil service bill ; Maynard and Stokes, ot
Tennessee, and others to the number ot
forty-seven. M’usliburn. the right hand
man of General Grunt, id course, ti- *k an
active bund fur the repeal, and his mfiu
enoc, no doubt greatly strengthened Rut
ler, inasmuch as ti is general uii leisli ol
(hat in reference to the President elect

authority. The passage of the icpeul by
the heavy vote given indicates the begin
liing of a decline in the power id’ radical
ism, and the ascendancy of mote moderate
and conciliatory counsels in I 'ongra •* than
those which have ruled the two houses in
their long and desperate con'lict with
President Johnson
It is possible that the Radicals in the
Senate, where they have no picviou
question, will endeavor to prevent the
passage of this loll by parliamentary
evasions and delays ; but the friends of the
repteal. we understand, intend to push it
through. The action of t'.o House, at ll
events, marks the commencement of u new
dispensation. It foreshadows not only
the repeal of the teuure-uf-office law, but
the iailure of Mr. Jeuekes' civil t-erviee
bill and o the little loll of Mr. Edmund'
in the Senate, excluding from c.\ ■ l office
officers of the aitny and navy, 'ill •
Edmund's hill, it is conjectured, is aime I ;
especially egotist General Schofield and
Admiral Porter us p rospective members,
i.f Grant's Cabinet, tlte de ign being to
he i I off Grant in refeiencc to these apple
hended uppjutntuien'.s; but from the 1
developments of yesterday wo suspect the ,
scheme trill fail
Had the vote f the House yesleiduy j
been taken with u1, a call to the iccrd it j
is ptrobable that Rutter's hill would have]
failed; but the record, iu bringing the
members face to lace with General Grant. ]
cut down the Tenure of Office law party
to forty-seven. These forty-seven, with
their adheents in the Senate, headed by
Hummer, may yet create some trouble iu
the party camp before the final victory is
won ; but from the unexpected success ol
tbo first wove of Butler on his new tack
we may look for a removal before the Jth ;
of March of all the ;hackles which have
been pmt np>on the hands of the President ;
so that with the inauguration of I * reside ti t ;
Grant the office will ho restored to il
Btatus under bine da.

will be invested with his constitutional

two thirds Radical majority in the {louse,
be will be in a pnisUioti at cnee to proclaim

Although Colton can never again be
King, in tlie sense in which it once
w as, its culture will very speedily re
cuperate up to the old standard lielore
the war. it is now definitely ascer
tained that the. crop of 1807-8 crowd*
closely upon two and a half million
bales, or half a mil lion bales more
than the crop of 1800-7. The exports
from the port of New ^ ork lor the
year ending September 1st, 1808 were
375.850 bales, leaving an estimated
stink on hand in the city ol 28.500
hales. The total exports from all
ports for the same period is reported at
1.057.015 Imles, leaving Inn 584.21 7 hales
mi hand and manu.acturcd In this
country.
It is fair to assume that at the rale
of recuperation winch lias been gu'ng
on at the South under extremely ad
verse circumstance*, ami w ith the res
toration ol a normal condition of
ihings In that section, and the per
manent adjustment oi its political af
fairs, it would not require live years
to bring the cotton product up again
to llie standard of 1800. which was be
tween three and lour millions. It is a
matter of great importance not only to
the South, but to the whole country,
that this should be done as speedily
as possible, it is through that iiecolo
plishmciil, chiefly, that we ace to look
lor the final settlement ol the South
ern labor problem, involving alike the
future social and political status of the
Freedmen, anil the policy of Southern
emigration ami development which is
to prevail. Moreover, it is through
that accomplishment, also, thill the
w hole world is lo be materially assist
ed in balancing its foreign commercial
exchanges and ultimately mining the
gold-tide back again Irom (be Fast to
the West, as it was when the war
broke out.
We believe that just as soon ns the
cotton product shall reach the figures
of I860, ilie balance ol coin movement
will be in favor ol New York, never
again lo be diverted; and with the re
sumption of specie payments, the
check upon imports, and the stimulus
lo business and production which will
necessarily follow, that desirable ac
complishment will be reached within
five years—possibly in three. Aside,
how ever, from this question of foreign
exchanges, there is another n ature ol
the cotton culture of the lullin' which
is even of greater importance. We re
fer to the sublect oi cotton manufac
ture at the South. With the existing

that '111 looking nl the subject in a

work in oilier mills i mining on the
s ime class of goods, he lound that
these Southern goods were equal lo
any ol I licit* kind set n ,iu llie Nuilheru

This is a very remarkable admission
to come from swell a source, especially
in view ol the generally accepted idea
Ilijn die Southern climate is unlavora
ble lo mailtliaeluring labor. Il is eon
tended that a proper dialribulion ol
the economies ot tile world preclude
siteeesslul maun nuluring in agricultu

as rollon we do not believe llie fine
will apply lo llie South, especially so
