LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS.

The two following anecdotes from
Mr.. Parton's forthcoming book on Gen
Buffers government in New Orleans
have painlal interest as recent and
authentic records by eye-witncsses Of
the shames which kind God is wip-
ing away from our nation.
THE OLD GENTLEMAN WHO THOUGHT
A MAN COULD DO WHAT lie LIKED
WITH HIS OWN SERVANT.
"A Lieutenant Searched a certain
house in New Orieaainiss;, in which con-
federate arms were reported to be con-
ccaled. Arms and tents were found
slowed in the garret, which vas remov-
ed to that grand repository Of contra
band articles, the Custom House. A
gentleman Of venerable aspect, with
long, white hair, aud form bent with
premature old age, was the occupant
cf the house from which the arms and
tents were taken.
In the twilight Of an evening soon
after the search, the most fearful
screams we're heard proceeding from
the yard Of the house, as if a human
being was suffering there the utmost
that . mortal can endure of agony. A
sentinel, who was pacing his beat near
by, ran into the yard, where he beheld
q hideous spectacle. A young mulatto
girl was stretched upon the ground on
her face, her feet tied to stake, her
hands held by q black man, her back
uncovered from neck to heels. The
venerable old gentleman with the flow
iug white hair was seated in an arm
chair by the side of the girl, at a dis.
tance convenient for his purpose. lie
held in his hand a powerful horse-whip
with which he was 1ashing the delicate
Sensitive flesh of the young girl. Her
back was covered with blood. Every
stroke of tho internal instrument of
torture tore up her flesh in long dark
ridges. The soldier, aghast at the
sight, rushed to the guard-houso, and
reported what he had seen to his SER
geant, aud the sergeant ran to head
Quarters and told tho General. Gen.
Butler sent him flying back to stop the
old miscreant, and ordered him to bring
the torturer and his victim to head
quarters tho next morning.
The sergeant hurried back and res
cued the girl from the LASH
About nine the same evening, the
sergeant came again to headquarters,
breathless, reporting that they were
torturiug the girl again, as tho most
heart-rendiug shrieks were heard COM

CONCLUSION.
Citizons Of Arkansas consider tho
extraordinary era in which you live.
Your State, your slaves, your acts, will
be- canvasscd in history, and judged by
your pos,crity. They will ask were you
wise? were you bold? we're you p;ttri-
otic? Be equal then to the times. Bc
stirring as the times. Rise to the events
around you. 1t is no emperor's nod
which is shaping the destiuics of this
nation. It Is tic awful VOICE of an
aroused and mighty people, insisting
tuaC CncIe SnaiI Oe no backward steps
in American civilization.
And to you, noble and gallant SOL
diers, let INC say, do as you have done.
The grace and rcnown Of this aye will
be reflected in the enlightened and he
roic conduct of our Union armies. Put
on industrious soldiership. Continue
patient and courageous. The blood
shed in '76 was shed for Us and for the
future. You are lighting not tor those
only who live in this generation, but for
those who shall conc after you. As
you perform the drudgcry Of the camp /;
as you stand out on guard in nights of
storm; as your limbs ache in the long
march, let this Thought warm the blood
in your veins, and kindle fresh ardor in
your souls, that you arc not only uphold
ing the glory Of your country, tut arc
saving what others il the past have
and died for ; and that your
services will bless aud receive the praise
Of generations yet unborn.

Arbitrary Arrests in the Oldcn
Time.

In 1907 during the administration of
President Thomas jefferson, in the Burr
conspiracy, bill was introduced into the
House Of Representatives authorizing the
President to suspend the writ of hsbeas
corpus for three months. Here is the way
the bill was received:
The opponents of the bill desired to
show their adherence Of it by refusing to
consider it after it had been read once in
the House. Mr.. Elliot, of Vermont, op-
posed the bill on the grounds far more
cogent now than they were fifty years ago.
"The bill gives" says Mr.. E. 1.-The power
of dispensing with the ordinary operations
OF law, to host Of these little great men,
who are attached TO every government un-
der Heaven. l wish not to reflect upon
any of these subordinate officers who may
be employed by the government of my
country. But no one can doubt that in
times of alarm and danger many will be

of such boundless discretion. l can new
er wish to see such persons iavested with
the means Of aiming at the heads of their
private enemies, or other innocent and un-
offending citizens. the thunderbolts OF pub
lie indignation, OF soorching them with the
lightnings of public suspicion. Says the
poet:
"Could great men thunder. Jove would
ne'er be quiet.

Would use his heaven for thunder"

In time like the present, wheD the life
of the nation is in imminent danger, and
the cause of civil liberty hangs rembling
in the balance, it is misfortune that the
people of the loyal States are not United
upon policy for the restoration of the ma
tional authority, and the re-establshment
of Constitutional Government
During the early period of the war, the
people of the loyal States, forgetting, or
placing in abeyance, for the time being all
partisan considerations, united in one
grand effoit to maintain the power and au-
thority Of the Federal Government. They
were lavish Of their means and of their
lives in support of cause sacred to all
true Americans, and responded to every
call of the proper authorities with a zeal
and alacrity which fully proved the patri-
oic fervor animating the people at large
Had the Administration accepted this
generous support in the spirit in which it
was profered-had the demand Of party
been subordinate to the call of patriotism
and had the management of the war been
placed upon a constitutional basis-the
maintenance Of the Constitution and the
restoration of the Union being the para
mount, and in fact the ouly objects to be
ccomplished-the same unanimity of sem
timeut would continue to animate the peo-
pie, the same patriotic fervor would yet fill
the ranks Of our decmated armies, and
give hope of glorious consummation Of
this unfortunate struggle between those
who should be brothers and friends.
But the dominant party has chosen to
inaugurate partisan policy, TO disregard
the teachings Of patriotism, and to turn the
war aud its management to political ac-
count. Ignoring the lessons which the
grand spectacle offs people, aroused as
one man in behalf Of the cause of civil lib
srty, presented for their instruction, they
have undertaken to make the war one of
personal and partisan advantage, and to
avail themselves of the services OF the
brave men enlisted for noble cause. TO
divert the war from its original and legiti.
mate object. for the purpose Of producing
radical change in the character of our in :
stitutions and our form of government. In
this violation of faith and honor; this trsa
sonable attempt to overthrow the Consti-
tuition and overrule the rights of the States
and the paople-they ask to be sustained
and supported. Themselves the violators
of the most sacred obligations which can
be imposed upon persons in official position
they dare TO charge with disloyally those
who decline to approve their acts, and
have the manliness to denounee their de-
parture from the line of official Guty im-
posed by the Constitution.
The issue before the country is no Ion
ger whether rebellion shall be put down
and civil liberty maintained, under the
forms and guarantees of the Constitution.
but whether, in addition to the rebellion in

o!lsm of the people to conduct 1t in a m.n-
her which shall produce discomfitur. to
the conspirators and save our coun,ry
from the additional horrors of Intestine
war throughout the Northern States.
The Republican leaders presum. larg--
ly upon the patience or the imbecili,y of
the people, in supposing, as they seem to
do, that they viii tamely submit to the
overthrow OF their civil rights without q
struggle. They have evidently sc:ed up
on the belief that by demanding uucondi-
! tional support of the measures of .be Ad-
miristralion, as condition 0. 10, atty. aud

fore all who dare to question either the
legality or tie wisdom OF their policy, the
spirit Of free discussion could be crushed

fundamental law. They condemn aud de-
nounce all departures tom these 10y the
