 WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Architect and Grand Master of the Universe to break our mystic circle, by removing from our midst, the busy scenes of war and from an exceeding useful and exemplary life, our beloved and faithful broth CT, Lieut. WM. D. LINTON, in the service of his country at Corinth, on the 18th day of May last, that he may henceforth occupy a seat in the grand celestial Lodge above, and enjoy in all the pleas ing realities which future world can develop therefore be is
 Resoiced, That although we bow submissively to the fate of the most worthy Grand Master of all yet we depore the loss of so useful and faith ful brother.
 ResoLped, That by his death, society has been deprived of one of it's most worthy and useful cit- zens, our army of one of it's best officers and pa triots, and our Lodge of one its brightest orna- ments and chief supports, and that the members of this Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and that the Dover Lodge be requested to do the same.
 Resolued, That the secretary of this Lodge fur nish his family with copy of these proceedings and spread the same on the minutes, and furnish copy to the editor of the True Democrat for puh' Goayion. w. D. POE,

A Great Evil and a Proposed Remedy

Nine-tenths of the mischief resulting from
 hasty or mprudent legislation in Arkansas, has
 been caused by the desertion of members of the
 legislature of their posts before the close Of the
 several sessions of the General Assembly. A
 majority of all the laws passed at any session
 and approved, or vetoed, are passed within the
 last few days, and often without a constitutional
 quorum in either house. The demagouges
 tricksters and political engineers, who are snug
 gled into every deliberatiye body, remain until
 the last hour and accomplish their ends, when
 there are not honest men enough left to expose
 and vote down their corrupt propositions. The
 resources of the State, vast as they were have been squandered; millions upon millions have
 been thrown away or given to favorites; laws,
 lily prepared and full of errors have been sprung upon the members and passed in hurry and confusion, that ought to have been carefully examined and the State has been disgraced and plundered because large portion of the mem' bers left their seats before the day of final adr iournment. Measures, that were voted down at the first part of the session are revived in some shape and passed at the last day. Propositions that would be treated with scorn at one time are received with favor at another. A member who has some scheme to engineer through, or some plan by which to enrich himself or friend, waits untl the close of the session. If the day of adournment is fixed for Monday, the mem> bers begin to drop off during the week before. Usually, by Saturday, there is not quorum loA Those members who have some little pet measure. some toEn or school to incorporate or relief bill, are now told that if they will vote for inc scheme of the shrewd man, hhe will vote for their bills. If not, he will call for the yeas and nays, expose the fact that no quorum IS present, and put stop to all further proceed ings. By this system of log-rolng, the most ;n;ou;tous measures have been passed and ruin~ ous policy adopted. Grants of land and Of money; appropriations Of vast amounts on pres tended claims: laws of an absurd or dangerous oharacter. all are made or passed during the last hours More legislation is done during the last week than during the two or three months that preceded 1t. The member who leaves his ,ost hafore the session closes is like soldier who remains in camp awhile and deserts on the eve of battle. We have seen this deserton so frequently and the terrible evils resulting from ;t that we deem it to be our duty to call atten- t;on to ssud propose a remedy.

MENEEsE, who fell at the battle of Shiloh, while nobly defending the rights of his country. Brother Meneese was 9 private in company A, 10th Arkansas regiment, commanded by Col Merrck.
 Resolped, That we submit with deep humility to this afilictng and trying dspensation of Prov- dence and sincerely depore the loss of our depar- ted brother, so suddenly removed from the strife below we hope to that spiritual rest above, to the Lodge not made with hands eternal in the Heavens. Resotred, That in the death of brother Meneese this Lodge has lost a worthy and "seful member, his family an atectionate and brother, and his country brave and gallant defender of liberty. We pray that all may find solace and comfort in their bereavement from that power which alone can alleviate and give resignation when those we love are taken away from us.
 ResoIped, That as token of respect we wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days Res0lUed, That these resolutions be published in the Little Rock True Democrat, and copv + areof be sent to the family of deceaaci brother. and the same De spread on the minutes of this Lodge Reso.D-", ~ nat this Lodge attend his funeral on the I'd Sabbath in June, 1869, with usual ceremo- nies of the order.

The ConsCripts.

The reluctance of some of the conscripts tC
 do military duty; the disregard they show for
 the obligations imposed on them and their in
 difference to the high claims of the country, is
 a source of regret, but need notbe one of alarm There are some nervous people who imagine
 that men brought into service, some Of them
 against their wills, will not make soldiers, and
 cannot be depended upon. The history of con>
 scriptions in other countries may enable us to l form better judgment in this matter. Com
 scrptions, or forced levies are common in
 Europe, and, except the superior drill and dis ciplne of the regular soldiers, the conscripts
 are found to make fully as brave and efficient
 troops. Napoleon won many of his great vic~
 tories with conscrpts, whose aversion to military service was as great as any evinced by any of our citizens. Cases of self-mutilatiop, such as the chopping off a hand, the destruction of an eve. or other organ, in order to avoid draft, were common in France. Every manner of device: all kinds of subterfuges, were adopted to avoid the military service, and the conscripts were literally driven into the ranks at the point
 ,f the bayonet. ! et after short time, these men made some of the best troops that ever won battle. The proportion of cowSrds in ,hose who seek to avoid military service IS quite small-the reasons for such avoidance may be found in other things, Laziness, self>distrust, ;mpatience of control, love Of home, strong family attachments, the claims of wife and child ren: all these operate. These men, when they find that there is no escape, that the duty must be performed and orders obeyed, enter into the spirit of the thing and learn to fight tosconquer peace.
 If this should fall under the eye of a dissatis fled conscript, we beg him to remember that the conscripts of the old world fought to extend conquests, to build up military adventurer, or to maintain throne. Our conscripts are cal led upon to fight for themselves, for their homes. for freedom. Since war began, no people ever .a r,ore or holier interests at siake-~no people ever had more to defend or contend for. If We falter now, the war is kept upon our own soil and prolonged for years. Ii we come up to the work as one man, we will carry the war into the enemy's country and speedily conquer peace The country has a right to the services of every man. The Confederacy has as~ serted that right as means of self-preseryation. Let ths duty thus demanded and justly due be |

Independent Companies.

An erroneous impression is said to prevail in some parts of the State, with regard to the lnde- pendent companies to be formed under the provi- sions of General Order No. IF, ssued:by General Hindman. on the 1-th day of June. These com panies are intended for home defence, and it is error to suppose that they will be ordered to remote points, or out of the State They are, literally, home guard, to be composed of men not subject to conscription, and to operate against the enemy when he invades the State and threatens their homes The organization of such companies should be made in every county, as 1t will not inter- fere with the employment or farm duties ot the men, unless at time when the presence of war would prevent them for labor on their farms. Apart from the valuable services they can render to the country, and the protection they can afford to their families, by acting in concert, it will be seen, by General Order No. 45, to be found in another col umn that only the members of these companies will be allowed to retain guns.
 Being organized under orders from the command ing general, and regularly in the service, if cap tured they are entitled to be treated as prisoners of war: whereas, if fighting on their own hook, the federals would be apt to show them no mercy.
 With these advantages, and the assurance that these companies will not be ordered off, or carried to remote points, we hope that they will soon be formed, and their organization reported to head quarters.
