EDITORS T RUE DEMOCRAT-
 In thinking over the claims and capabilities of the many gentlemen now aspiring to a seat ln tue Confederate Congress, we know of none more entitled or possessing higher qualifications than Mir. J. P. Johnson, of Desha county No one has interested himself more sincerely or more ener- getcally in advancing the cause of the South, while at the same time mindful of and laborng for the best interests of the state than Mir. Johnson. If for nothing else something more is due him than mere thanks for the disnterested zeal mani fested in removing the incubus of state army from the shoulders of our people. We should be glad to see him in the race and feel no doubt of the issue if he will consent to run.

 MR. EDITOR: The present state of our country, as well as that of our State, demands of us unit ed effort now and at the ensuing election, to sup ply our Congress, not with members whose only object is sefinterest but with those of moral char acter and sober habits, of strict economy, whose interests are those of our country and people And as such would suggest the name of 5. M. Scott of this county, as person in every respect suitable to represent this congressional district in the ensu- ing session. Mir. Scott is known in all the coun
 tes at least from reputation, having been for three successive sessions the principal clerk ot the House of Representatives the duties of which were faith fully discharged, and with ability-in this capaci- ty becoming familiar with parliamentary law and usages For six or seven years the editor of the Arkansaw Traveller thereby securing notoriety as politician and large circle of friends and dc- quaintanc es-beng of mature age, about hity.- His chief recommendation is that he has ever been sound and reliable State rights man, and true southener. Although engaged in farming for some time past, he has availed himself of every ad vantage to keep posted in the affairs ofth nation. Should he become candidate we feel assured he will every exertiOn for the good of the country and State especially. CLARK.

TIE BANKS SUSPEND SPECIE PAYMENTs.-- But they suspend full handed and not because they have not specie enough to redeem every dollar of their circulation. They suspend in order to bring the confederate treasury notes up to par and cause them to be as good as bank notes which are equal to coin though tor the time being and in the extraordinary emergency that has arisen, they cannot be exchanged for 1t as heretofore.
 Our readers of course persued the Governors proclamation yesterday, advising the banks to take this course, and they know as well as we do the reasons which influenced alike the ex- ecutive and the banks in favor of the extraor- dinary measure The banks run the risk of forfeiting their charters. The Governor cannot help them, nor can the Legislature. But that which creates and uncreates. The whole ques- ton must and will be referred to the people in whose behalf the suspension has been made. There an exigency, and public opinion, the executive and the banks all seemed to coincide ir favor ofhe necessity of tn step that has been taken by the latter.-Ne,e OrIeans Bulletin.

DEATH OF DR. JoHN A. JoRDAN.-Our pa- per is this morning unfortunate in the announce
 ment it makes of the death of patriotic men. To the death of two of our own eminent citizens, we must add the announcement of that of distinguished citizen of sister State, Arkan- sas. Dr. John A. ordan, prominent citizen of that sate died in Little Rock, on Monday last. He was born in North Carolina aboutthe year 1916. His parents, at an early day, re- moved to Montgomery county, Tenn. His father sent him to Jefferson College, Philadel- phia Pa, where he graduated with the first honors of his profession. He removed to Ar kansas in l840, from which time till his death he was citizen of that state. Having amassed big fortune, in~l852 he married an amiable lady Miss Irene Johnson, who with three love- ly children, mourn his departure. The loss to the state at this time is irreparabe, as he has been busily engaged, since the breaking out of the present troubles, in transactions of great importance to its interests.-Nemphis Appeal.

s9S- We publish to day the card of Gen. C.. D. Royston, who announces himseltas candi- date for Congress. It will be gratifying piece of intelligence to great many in this section of the country He says truly that he is an old citizen and fully identified with the interests of south Arkansas. He is more than that. He is completely and thoroughly installed in the con- fidence of the old citizens, who rely upon him without hesitation. Our readers will of course vote for whom they please. This is a free coun- try, and they must select for themselves amongst the various aspirants who are now, and who may be, before them. But they must allow us to say, that Gen. Royston is a man whose long experience in the practice of a laborious pro- fession; whose acquaintance with public men, and public things, and whose known ability and integrity of purpose, all entitle him to conf dence.- Washington Telegraph.
