~I)E S ARCT ARKANSAS:
latartay Morning, Sot. W, ISW.
We wore handed a few days ago
a number of the Baltimore Episcopal
Methodist and asked to notice it In our
paper—we do so cheerililly, since read
ing Its able editorials and examining its
interesting general matter. The Epis
copal Methodist ia published in Balti
more, Md., is an eight page weekly,
well gotten op, and thoroughly devo
ted to the interest of Southern Metho
dism. Rev. Dr. Bond principal Ed -
tor, wields a powerful pen, and treats
ably and scriptarally ench subjects as
are of interest to the general reader.—
The best and ablest Divines of the coun
try are contributors to this journal, and
every means are employed to make
this paper a religious family newspa
per. All communications addressed to
the Editor or Publisher, No. 226 Balti
more St., will meet with prompt atten
tion. __
W On the 21st of next month our
people will be again called upon to cast
their vote in a matter of vital impor
tance to this portion of Prairie coun
ty. We mean the establishment of a
Distriot Court at Des Arc. It is need
less for us in this article to set forth
the advantages that would accrue to
onr city, and wo might say the whole
county from this step. In a former
article upon this subject we said the
interests of the whole county would
bo advanced by the location of this
Court at Des Arc. We again say the
same thing. There is not in Prairie
county one township that would ex
perience the least inconvenience by
acting With us In this matter, what
niana >nai- he in the western
portion of the county they will not be
interferred with. In the location at
Des Are of this Court the main object
is to benefit the whole county, for
whatever is of advantage to one part is
of advantage to the whole. As it is
Des Arc is too Tar removed from the
present county seat for the transaction
of ,ne large amount of lQgul business
that is consequent upon the trade of
the most important commercial point
in the county. Let us have ft court at
this place and very much of the incon
venience now attending matters of a
legal kind will be remedied, the con
venience of a very targe portion of the
county will be directly administered
to, while no part of the county will lie
at all injured either actually or in pros-,
peel. From these and many other con
siderations which suggest themselves
to every thinking mind, we call upou
the people to think upon this subject,
to prepare themselves to voto in this
matter, having in view the greatest
good to the greatest number, and when
the 21st of December shall come let us
all at the polls voto District Court at
Des Are, thereby buiWing- up our •own
interest and adding greatly to the im
portance and character of our county.
DES ARC MALE*AND FEMALE
SEMINARY.
Project after project has been set on
foot in Des Arc, to build up a respect
able school, by the erection of a suita-1
hie house, but alt have failed. We
have written upon the subject until we
had well nigh despaired. Put after a \
lapse of time we again approach the
subject with hope renewed. Our peo
ple have set on foot a plan or rather a
determination to try and build a first
class Academy in Des Arc, to he placed
under the care of the Methodist church.
Wo unhesitatingly pronounce the plan ;
n good one and to it wo will lend out j
support. We need a school in Dos j
Arc, permanently established and com
petently managed. This we cannot
have until we have built a suitable
house. Our position and advantages
«f situation avail us nothing lit build
ing up a town, nay a city, unless wc by
our enterprise hold out some induce
ment to the better classes of society to
settle in our midst. True our churches
speak volumes in onr favor bnt when
the came man who is by mem aiiiacicu
asks us what advantages his children
svlUJhave with ns ? where arc our school
houses? Our answer must l>c there
arc none. It is high time we were
w aking up from this1 foolish sleep. We
have built bridges, other improvements
have bad our attention, and now it is
time we were looking to this impor
tant matter. We need a school-house,
our position as a city demauds it, our
individual interests are enhanced by it,
our dntv to each other and* ourselves
demand it and the scores of children in
I>cs An- arc so many argument# in Its
favor. The cause of education has by I
us all been too much overlooked and 1
in matters of this kind our negligence |
lias grown too fast upon us. It is true
we are poor, but our very poverty cries
out and demands of us that as all else
is gone and we cannot leave to our
children any other inheritance we give
to them an education, riches that ran-:
not he affected by the fortunes of war ;
or the changes of circumstances. We i
repeat, it is time the people of Des Arc
wore becoming alive to this great mat- J
ter of education. Other town# of less '
importance and far inferior in point ot j
situation and local snrronndings are at j
work for this cause, and why not this <
people. We do not know what the j
precise plan now proposed is, but this j
we know, the object is to build up a
good school, and for this reason we
favor it. It is true we may not be able I
to accomplish all at once, but let us :
put our shoulder to the wheel and work
for its accomplishment, work with a
w ill and with a might that will in time ,
prevail. It is within the bound of
possibility to build a good school house
or academy or college in Dos Arc, and !
every citizen of the county ought to
feel it Ids bonudeu duty to work until
it is done. If we on«e to determine, it!
will not be long till our want in this
particular is satisfied and the walla of.
a permanent seat of learning will staud
as an advertisement to the world that
in Des Arc can be found all thj* advan
tages desired by wealth, intelligence
and morality.
CONFERENCE.
This body, which convened at Des |
Arc on the 13th inst., for the transac
tion of business pertaining to the M. 1
F.. Church in southern Arkansas, after
a very pleasant session of five or six
days adjourned, on Tuesday last to |
meet in Warren neat year. To most
of our citirens, this session of confer
ence. was indeed a feast, and to our
town we do not hesitate to say, it was
a great blessing. We were ourselves
greatly pleased and thoroughly con
vinced that no one on earth is more in
earuest in his desire to do good and
share in the great work of “spreading
scriptural Holiness over the land ’ than
the traveling Methodist Preacher, nor
is there in our judgment, an element in
ail tha land that, so effectually reaches
the hedges and byways—the waste
places of the world—with the great
truths of the Gospel, as does this Meth
odist’Itinerancy. We repeat that it
was a pleasant time and profitable too
to many we dare say. Time and space
will not allow a detailed account of all
the business done, let it suffice iu this
article to say that much was accom
plished for the furtherance of the in
terests of the Church, and all the
preachers seemed to be in the enjoy
ment of the very highest spirituality
arising from their entire consecration
to the work of the miuistry. To look
upon that grand army of noiy men,
assembled in conference, to see their
harmonious action, all filled with the
richuess of brotherly love, was enough
to call to almost any heart a desire to
be worthy a place in their midst. There
was Bishop Marvin, the soul of Digni
ty, his face filled with the marks of in
tellectuality and piety breathiug iu his
every utterance. Then Hunter, the
great good preacher, Winfield, the
earnest worker, Itatcliffe, the pious
and houcst man, loved by every body,
JLirowniDg, uoou» maniy, aim » uu»i u*
others, all told the observer by their
presence aud speech that Christianity
had indeed faithful teachers in this
Little Rock Conference. Of course,
we had much good earnest preaching
during the time, hut of all the sermons
we cannot make mention. On Wed
nesday night Pr. Browning, from Cam
den, preached a tolling sermon upon
the providence of God. As he in the
grandest eloquence portrayed the ex
cellencies Jof God’s providences and
told of the fullness of the Christians
trust. But few dry eyes coul^l be
found in the house. On sabbath morn
ing, Bishop Marvin preached a feeling
sermon upon the duty and responsibil
ity of the Christian ministry. An at
tempt to describe this sermon would
be vain in us. We know it was a great
leniion, every heart was touched by ,
the good man's utterances, and the j
moist eyes and fervent aniens told un- j
mistakably that new vows were mode .
that day to be more blameless in life
and more earnest in the ministry of
the word by every preacher present.
Truly this assemblage of the preaeh
orsin I)es Arc was an event that will
not soon be forgotten nor will their
influence and example be without fruit
in the future.
Indian Summer
Is, perhaps, all things considered,!
the loveliest part of the year. So calm, j
so serene, so mild; a medium between i
the extremes of heat and cold, the con
necting link between the burning heat;
of July and the icy chills of January.
True, every season or period of the
year lias its delights and charms, its vi
cissitudes of pleasures aud ills, its snu
sliine and storm, its hopes and fears, j
its rainbows aud silvery icicles, its;
flowers or frost, its singing of birds aud j
blooming of flowers, or its roaring bo-,
rens and tempests of snow. But in ;
this latitude there seems to be a gentler, j
a lovlicr and holier atmosphere during
the period through which wo are now
passing (Indian summer) than any oth
er period of the year. Eolus holds
rude Boreas caged in prison while
Zcphvrus is abroad with his light
winged attendants, like faries floating
on every gale; the sun half vciliug his
burning face careering through the
deep azure of space like a brazen shield
i. ~ w* ..-..nni,,,! in ill a emntv dp.Rl)
through which lie moves; the stars,
times sentinels, peep coyishly out on
an orb floating in blissful quietude and
fleecy clouds poise, or gently glide
over a world wrapt in dreumy slum
bers. No marshalling of the elements,
no hoarse toned thunders, or gleaming
lightnings, or tread of earthquakes.
These are indeed the halcyon days of
other years of which we read—fit.days
and nights for holy communion with
ourselves and with nature. Tradition |
has it that the Indians in gone by years
were a xustomed to hum the leaves on
ti.c ground in Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and j
along the front skirting the Alleghany j
mountains and the Blue Ridge, on or j
about the ilrst of November in order'
the hotter to find the chestnuts that
were in those days so abundant in the
section above referred to; and the
woods having barn burned for several
consecutive days produced an immense
amount of smoke, and the winds at that
period being lnllcd the smoke settled
in the valleys and upon the intervening
plains, gave to the country the peculiar
appearance popularly known as “In
dian summer.” And we suppose noj
one would be so cruel or unmindful of
the noble race of the “Red Man” as to
wish to change or in nny way attempt;
to obliterate this sacred memento ofj
classic Indian history so familiarly1
known to us all. The very name off
Indian summer awakens In the mind of 1
llim who has read and studied the his
tory of the Indian race a thousand
remlnlacneces, pleasant and yet rnelan
-holy to call up and contemplate. Let
as of it then say “e-to ] e petna.” X. ij

What Will They JtoV
'rom the Louisville Courier ]
A late article in the New York Herald
laa the following:
Our Washington correspondent informs
is that Senators and Representatives are
1 rapping in rapidly at the Federal Cspi
ol to prepare their winter qunrtciawnd to
ipen the political campaign of the coming
toason. The Radicals seem to be first
imong the arrivals. Among them the
alood and thunder Senator from .Michigan,
Mr. Chandler, has made his appearance.
It is said he is full of Radical fire and
ready for impeachment- We expect to
>ee a good deal of this, both previous to
the meeting of Congress and during the
first days of the session, but it will be all
fuss and fury, and will end iu smoke —
These Radicals are making all this noise,
like the Chinese who harameraway at their
tom-toms and other no:sy instruments, to
keep their courage up. The elections that
have taken place will damp the Radical
fire and make it comparatively harmless.
A wide difference exists even among
Radicals as to the probable action of the
Jacobin leaders at the approaching session
of Congress. As tbr the matter of im
peachment, that, wc think, with the Her
aid, has been decisively settled by the re
cent elections. Such niad-dog fanatics as
Thud- Stevens, and blood-and-tbunder
blatherskites like Chandler, of Michigan,
and Ashley, of Ohio, msy fret, and fume,
and rage about it before the meeting of
Congress, and will probably go to the ex
tent ol oarrying their lunatic ravings into
Congress; but the large majority of the
Radical members will have sense and
judgment enough to understand, after such
evidences of the state of popular sentiment
as we have just had, that the attempted
impeachment and the unlawful deposition
of the President from his office could only
result disastrously to themselves and their
party. Whatever other deviltry they in
sist upon carrying out, they will studiously
avoid anything calculated to bring them
into an actual hostile collision in which
the masses of the American people will be
fit Am
Nor do we fear that Congress will at
tempt to carry out, at its approaching ses
sion, the schemes proposed by Wilson and
Stevens for further serious interference
with the reserved rights of those States
recognized by the Radicals as still in the
Union. In the face of such overwhelm
ing majorities against negro suffrage as
have been given by Ohio and JTansas, a
condemnation indirectly but none the less
unequivocally .concurred in by all the
States except one where elections have been
held, it is scarcely possible that any but
fools and madmen should think of insisting
upon the enactment by Congress of a “uni
versal manhood suffrage" bill If the
people of the North indignantly repudiate
the proposition to placo negro suffrage
in their State constitutions, it is hardly to
be supposed that, they will submit to an
unconstitutional act. of Congress imposing
negro equality upon them. And, if agen
era I snactmcnt of the kind we refer to is
not under existing circumstances at all
probablo, neither will Congress, after what
has occurred, venture upon iiuposiug so
odious a thing as negro suffrage upon par
ticular States. Had the fall elections gone
Radical, or if none had taken place, it is
certain that A'entucky and ^Marylsnd
would have negro suffrage forced upon
them at the approachingsession; but thank
God there is now no danger of such an
outrage!
It is a significant indication of the effect
produced uu the Radical leaders by the
lato electious that we uo louger hear any
talk, of “reconstructing” Kentucky Even
Jacobin politicians can comprehend the
folly of attempting to “reconstruct’’ this
commonwealth because she elects only
Democrats to office, when the great Nor
thern States are doing precisely the same
thing- As the exclusion of the Kentucky
Representatives was but the commence
ment of proscriptive Congressional inter
ference, it is reasunablo to conclude that
our members) will, wheu Congress meets,
be admitted to the seats to which the peo
ple eleoted them.
Hut if little is to be apprehended from
the action of Congress in the matters re
ferred to, it is, we fear, otherwise as regards
the so-called “reconstruction" of the South
ern States. While the recent expression
of popular sentiment at the North certainly
amounts to a condemnation of the recon
struction policy, the Radical leaders com
prehend that, if that policy is surrendered,
all chance of success at the approaching
Presidential election will vanish. The
Democratic candidate is ceitain to obtain
a majority of the electoral votes in the
Northern and Western States, and the on
ly hope for the Radicals is that they may
secure for their candidate such a number
of them as, added to the electoral votes of
the Southern States, will amount to a ma
ioritv of the whole. It is probable, there
fore, that the Radical leaders will, if possi
ble, complete, at the next session, the
work of reconstructing the ten States on
a negro biisis. True, in doing so they
will still further lose favor with the Nor
thern people; but then, by failing to doit,
they will lose all ohance of electing their
ticket. It is with them u desperate game,
and one which we are encouraged to be
lieve thoy trill in no event wiu
Re very much regret that relief will be
so long coming to the oppressed and per
secuted people of the Southern States; but
come it will in the ond. The whole re'eon
itruetion business is palpably unconstitu
tional, and will be so treated when the
Dcnn cratic party comes into power. The
old State governments of the Southern
States are the only legitimate ones, and
the pretended introduction of those iS'tates
under bogus negro constitutions into a
Union of wh eh they are already members,
will very properly be looked upon as a
nullity by the incomiug administration
and by the Forty-first Congress.
