TIE LETTER.
HERMITAGE. March 27.

HERMITAGE, March 27, 1915.
 DEAR SiR-Y our letter of the 18th inst, together with the copy of the proceedings of the National Institute, furnished me by their corresponding secretary, oil the presentation, by you, of the sarcophagus for their aeeep- tanee, on condition it shall be preserved, and Tn honor of my memory, have been received, and are now before me.
 Although laboring under great debility and atilicton, from severe attack from which | may not recover, raise my pen and endeayor to reply. The steadiness of my nelves may perhaps lead you to conclude my prostration oi strength is notso great as here expressed Strange as 1t may appear, my nerves are as steady as they were forty years gone by; whilst, from debility and afllietion, I am gasping for breath.
 l have read the whole proceedings of the presentation, by you, ol the Sarcophagus. and the resolutions passed by the board of direc- tors so honorable to my fame, with sensa-

COL. MEADOWS REMARKS.

Il has been deemed proper that the last bright emanation from mighty intellect, the last lesson of wisdom from the pen of pat riot, should form a part of the ceremonies by which we would do honor to his memory.
 And while we mingle our sorrow, in con dolence with the whole nation for the bereave- ment which has fallen upon Us in the death of Andrew Jackson, while assembled to pay our tribute of respect to his exalted worth and the glory of his name, let us also listen to the ennobling sentiments contained in his last public communication, and initiate if we can, their purity and excellence.
 Though bowed ddown by the weightof years, ndalmos paraIyzed by suffering and disease, the strength of his attachment to the princi- pies and spirit of political institutions for which he bled in youth and sought so ardendy to foster and advance throughout his life, was wholly unmpaired Nay, the flame seemed 10 burn if not with increased vigor, yet with fierce brlliancy, as he approached the grave. And in declining the Sarcophagus of an Elm peror as the narrow house of his expected rest he testified devotion to the simplicity of republican institutions, that even the grave could not extinguish.
 His tomb needs not, indeed, the meretri- cioQs aid of ancient art and long forgotten greatness, to keep alive the vcneration and affection of his counrymen. The splendor O. his achievements, his public services, his private worth, shall hallow the lowly spot chosen for his long rest, while the republic endures CT memory can recall his patriotic deeds
 He chose to sleep beside one whom in fife lie loved with deep and unmiXed dovo- ton, and from whom he would not be parted even ih death And there was he laid, as he requested, without pomp and without pa rade"
 The annals of our country, to whose pages he has added so much glory, will never more truly confirm all that has been said of his virtues and goodness than the letter which I shall now have the honor of reading to you

yNFDlCroRY OF TIE JUNIOR EDl-
 TOR OF THE BANNER,

With this number my connection with the R.xxrR. as one of its Editors, ceases.
 The paper remains under the control ol GgxER,L BoRLAND, who, from the time ot his appointment to the responsible sta'lon' has proven himself, highly competent to the task of editing il, and fully able, ''alone and sinqle handed'' to combat with the opposers of democracy in this quarter A gentleman of vigorous and finely cultivated miellect' Il staunch unwaverng democrat, and oi mdo- mi,able boldness and zeal in the defence oi his principles, the BANNER could not be pia- eed in better hands, Il is only to be regret ted that such is the depressed condition ol our people that the services of one so desef- ving are badly compensated
 retire from the BANNER with the view of devoting my tune entirely to proieSslonat engagements, to which am more accustom- ed. and which are more pleasing, with an ar dent essire 10 see the Banner prosper, and lono remain the faithful herald, and guardian of the interest of democracy in Arkansas.
 go from the paper with zeal anaha'ed for the prosperity of democracy, now, and hope permanently triumphant, and will ever be found ready, when il may be necessary to wield pen or voice its advocacy

 It is to be deeply lamenied, however, by every man of proper feelings, that whoever becomes an Editor in .4rkcasds, sets himself up as q target 10 be shot at by the meanest scribblers and most uuprnciple islanders It is to be hoped that such prostitution oI the press will not long continue in our young and advancing State F.

TIE SUPREME CorRr.-This tribunal

TIE SUPREME CoURT.-Thls tribunal commenced its regular semi annual session, on Monday the 17th inst, and, on Friday evening next, will adjourn until October, when q special term will be held. This ad- iournment is made necessary by the i'll health of one of the Judges, and the extreme heat of the weather. Ii is proper to state, how ever, that the delay of business thus occasion ed, is only aecmiRg and will not prove de- trimenial to any interest involved in the ac- ton of the court Before the adjournment, on Friday, all hc eases, on the docket, which may be ready for trial, wall have been either tried or submitted; and it will amount 10 the same thing, SO far as the parties litigant and their attorneys, are concerned, whether the Judges. after consultation, remain in Little Rock, or return 10 their respective residences in the country, while writing out th;ir deei- sions, to be delivered next October. And who else has right to complain We un- derstand, moreover, that every Lawyer, who has case in the court, with perhaps soli- lary and pccniiW cXception) desires the ad- journment. If in this we err, we hope the dissenting Lawyer will correct us.
 We have deemed these remarks due, alike to the court and to the public; because the last Gazette, in very small way, seeks to traduce the official character Of the former, and abuse the minds of the latter. The truth and force ofthe facts, as we have stated them, must be obvious to every one who knows, or is capable of knowing, any thing of the suhlect-eyen to the editor of the Gazette, proyerbially guiltess, as he is, of knowing much of any thing that is useful. A mo- ment's consideration, then, of these facts, eY- onerates the court from the censure, and dis abuses the public mind of the misrepresent4- ton, which the carlling maiic of the Gazette sought to manufacture in its editorial of last Monday. And yet a stranger might have supposed, from the fiery and furious indigna- ton manifested in the Gazette, that the well fare Of the State, at large, was about to be sacrificed or that the sborrd monstern of judicial rlalfeasanee had been invoked to swallow up the editor of the Gazette him self, his whole estate, and his hundred clients,

tons and feelings more easily to be conJec- tured than by me expressed. The whole proceedings call for my most grateful thanks which are hereby rendered to you, and through you to the president and directors of the National Institute. But with the warmest sensations that can inspire a grateful heart, l must decline accepting the honor intended to be bestowed. l cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for all emperor or a king. My republican feelings and principles forbid it.; the simplicity of our system of government forbids it. Every monument erected 10 per patuate the memory of our heroes and states men ought to bear evidence of the economy and simplicity of our republican institutions, and the plainness of our republican citizens, who are the soyereigns of our glorious Union, and whose virtue it is to perpetuate it. True virtue cannot exist where pomp and parade are the governing passions; it can only dwell with the people-the great laboring and pro- ducing classes that form the bone and sinew of our confederacy.
 For these reasons, cannot accept the honor you and the president and directors Ol tue N dllOHhl llSulult luLGuUGtt iO uGSlON. cannot permit my remains to be the first in these United States to be deposited in a sar- eophagus made for an emperor or king. l again repeat, please accept for yourself, and convey to the president and directors of the National Institute, my tprofound respects for the honor you and they intended 10 be- stew. have prepared an humble repository for my mortal body beside that wherein lies my beloved wife, where, without pomp or parade, have requested, when my God calls me to sleep with my fathers, to be laid; for both of Us there to remain until the last trum, pet sounds to call the dead 10 judgment, when We, hope, shall rise together, clothed with that heavenly body promised to all who believe in our glorious Redeemer, who died for us that we might live, and by who's. atonement l hopefor a blessed immortali ty

\ PLAYED WoLF.-The nameless Bates vile core spondent of the Gazette, whose snealling aboiitoniSm we denounced the other day, must have lost his skin, as well as his ''sheep's clothing" ill the recent COL dict with his neighbols. Our remarks, mild as conscience would allow Us 10 make them, seem to have fallen, like burning coals, upon the very '.raW-hide of his soul, ;" if such crea- tures have souls. From the unmistakabe ''marks of the beast,'' he Is the same, and still nameiess, who formerly dragged his vile carcass through the polluted columns of the IN orih Arkansas" until the corruption of of that sheet ''grew to plursy, and died of it's own too-much.n Still ashamed to attach h s name to the filth he ptters, he now seeks a congenial ..wallow,n in the columns of the Gazette. It has become our duty, frequent ly in life, 10 set our heel upon such creatures; and we have been equally fortunate in avoid ing the langs of their malice, and the filth of their good will. Our pen is required upon other and more useful subjects.

PEcoAvI!-The last Gazette puts uP a very piteous cry of mercy for Davy Walker, in consequence of the terms in which we no ticed his arrival in the City. During the last canvass, 1t became our duty to direct public indignation against Walker, by pointing out inc detestable vices of his efraracter-he Is too small to do any act which may aspire to the dignity of crime. By way amusement, during this hot weather, we levelled shaft of ridicule at him, last week. The unmali- cious weapon seems 10 have done more exc cution than we intended or expected of il; piercing, in its course, even .'between the bones and narrow of our sensitive neigh bor, who, in the excess of his chivalry, plays knight-errant to every "poor devil who happens to fall under the just lash of wrath or rdicule If our neighbor and his proiege, Dayy. not content with the need of ridicule, desire the additional covering of contempt, they have our free consent to ask for sym pathy, and cry mercy, against us, until their tears run down to their toes.

F. H. ENGLISH, EsQ-T'he valedctory address of Mr. English, as Junior Editor, up on retiring from the {. Banner,n will be found in this column. He resumes the eXclu, sive practice of the Law, for which he has great fondness, and high order of qualiiica- lions. We sincerely hope, as we confident ly believe, that in its more eengenial Puf- suits he will find, not only more pleasing employment, and better compensation for la hor, but surer, shorter, and smoother path to desirable distinction among his fellow men, than any one may hope for, through the columns of a newspaper. Indeed, fl q legal mind, strong and comprehensive in its grasp, clear in its views, orderly in its ar rangements, systematic and labonous Tn its application, richly stored with learning, and sustained by the powers of true eloquence, may hope fer success, then may our late associate look with confidence to proud triumphs, and honorable rewards in his iavorie prosession For the kind feeling he is pleased to express for us, we tender him a cordial reciprocity. Our only regret al parting, is that the " Banner" loses the bcne- fit of his vigilance and ability-and, conse- quently, so much of its own efficiency, in the noble cause.-the cause of popular rights and constitutional government-to which 1t is devoted.
 Mir. E. has justly indicated the immediate cause of his retirement from the < Banner,n 10 be the insufficient remuneration of Edito- rial labor in Arkansas-insutlicien not only for two, but for one, 10 the same paper, though doing the double duty of editor and publisher. IL remains with the patrons of the 's Banner'' to say how long this reproach shall rest upon Them. Tine burden of ardu ous labor, without compensation, has rested long enough upon us.
 In future, the whole duty, of Editing and Publishing the :. Banner,n will dcvolve upon us and though '' single handed and alone , we shall endeavor to perform 1t becomingY. and faithfully !" Dutg Is ours--tbe coaSe- gucnces belong Ia God"

HE IREAcHERf DEFELoPISG.-m an- other column, will be found the documents which throw the origin of the disgraceful propositions, from the Texan authorities, through Dr.. Smah, to Mexico. The hlury of the diplomatic Doctor, to leave this side of the Atlantic, and find refuge in England, is now explained. He dared not await this exposition of his anti-Amercan attempt to trade away the interests of his country. How much, or in what, he was to be paid, or will yet receive from England, as the price of his diplomacy, is not yet ascerlaiued. But the reward that awaits him, at the hands of his outraged countrymen, should he ever return (which we think he will not, requires nei- ther sage nor prophet to predict. It is futile to attempt 10 excuse President Jones, upon the ground that it was all done by his Seere- tary of State, without his knowledge No one can doubt his prvity to the whole trans action-indeed, that he directed and partici- paled in il, from beginning to end, with earn est wishes for its success, is certain

We bitterly regret to say that they are more disgracelu and dishonorable to Texas than we had anticipated Although they are dated at Washington ou the Brazos, we still hope, for the credit of our governm- cnt. that they were concluded at Galveston. and that the Executive and his Cabinet knew nothing of them until a copy was sent by nr.
