First Fruits of Liberty.

The first use which the people of Arkan
sss make of their restored liberty, says the
Evening Post, is TO prohibit slavery. Seven
teen thousand votes were cast in the recent
election. This is just third of the entire
vote of the State at the last Presidential cleo
ton; q vote so large and so unanimous on a
question brought up by the people of their
own motion, and without the interference or
prompting of the military or civil authorities,
that it will command the respect of the whole
country. This election is the first civil act
performed by the people of Arkansas since
the State has been redeemed from the oppres-
sion of the rebels. By this their first act, I'M
dertaken entirely at their own desire, they
have forever abolished slavery from their con-
stitution and SOIL At the same time they
have chosen for their Governor the man who
alone Of all the members of the State Con-
yention in 1861, had strength of purpose and
courage enough to vote " no. when, amid up
roar and threats and in intense excitement,
the secession ordinance was suddenly brought
to vote by the aonspirators. Governor Muir
ply deserves the reward the people have
given him,

The n. Y. Evening Post, which long ago
advocated an elective Judiciary, notwithstand-
ing the scandalous results of the system in
that city in the cases of McCunn and Bar
nard, still insists that nothing has yet been
developed adverse to the system per Sc, only
against the imperfect manner in which it is
carried out. For instance: the Supreme
Judges, though having Jurisdiction in all
parts of the State, are elected by Districts, so
that the lowest district in that city, like that
in which the "Fiye Points" are located may
determine the character of Judge. The
Post insists that the Office, belonging to the
State, should be filled by vote of the Who'll
State, and not by mere district.

ALMOST A SMASH UP.-Last Monday az
ternoon young lady, driving an open wagon
across the bridge, was passed by a soldier in
four wheeled chaise. The lady, stranger,
resented this treatment, and endeavored to
retaliate by passing the chaise; but as she was
urging her horse to his utmost, the forward
wheel of her wagon struck a post at the end
Of the bridge, the whifietree broke, the horse
left the wagon, and the lady followed the
horse, clear of the dasher, and fat on to the
ground. But strange to say, she was quickly
on her feet, having apparently received no in
jury. The soldier xery calamity took charge
of the broken wagon, and carried it to the
carriage shop Machias Repub lican.

SLIGHTLY MrsrAKEN.-The Courier, in
the exercise of spirit which is perfectly
enigmatical, charges US with being a "copper"
head and says the "Press man learned his
political principles in the copperhead school,
and ii is no wonder he cannot disguise him
self in his new character Of editing a Repub-
lican paper" We thought the Courier was
committed to the idea that the Republican
party is disbanded. That was its language
months ago; and il gloried in recommending
and in aiding to consummate such disband-
ment. Not very consistent, then, to talk of
our editing a Republican paper; not very
courteous to twit about our antecedents see
ing that, as member of the Union party,
we are quite as old as he is.
But he is mistaken in relation to our ante
cedents. We never had any afiipity for
copperheadism. We were schooled political
ly as a Democrat Our Democracy was an
honest thing. 1t was opposed to all chican-
cry and corruption in the Government. 1t
was opposed to all peculations upon the Treas
ury. 1t was opposed to all bribery to secure
Office. 1t was opposed to all malfeasance aud
breaches of trust in officials. 1t had no SYM
pathy for those who played fast-snd-loose NTH
the interests of the State. 1t regarded the
officer who would steal knife or even pack
age Of stationery, in the same light with him
who steals a trust bond, or in any other way
swindles the government. 1t believed that
officials should always be willing to have the
affairs of their offices laid open to full and fair
Investigations; that no false touches, no false
charges, no incorporation Of money, no
uioldtion Of trusts, could in the long run sue
coed. Does the editor of the Courier object
to such ahtecedents as these? If so, will he
tell us wherein?

The fast ho,,ts o, Rev, q. STAR kins.

The following interesting account Of tbs
last hours of I. Starr King is condensed from
an article ia the San. Francisco Evening
Bulletin Of March 4th.
For two weeks before his death he complain
ed offeeling unwell with some trouble about
the throat, but persisted in attending to his
regular duties until the Saturday previous 10
his death when he took his bed. On that
evening a, bridal party came to be married
and insisted so strongly thathe left his bed,
came down into the parlor and went through
with the ceremony, but was so much exhaust
ed that he had to be assisted TO his room. On
Thursday of the next week, although on
Wednesday the desease was controlled, he
was told by his physician that he could not
live more than a half hour
"Friends then asked him il he had any
thing to say. He replied-"Yes, great deal
TO say; want first 10 make my will" Up
to this time, for two or three days he had not
been able to speak above whisper; but re-
spending to the power of his will, his voice
now resumed its old power and tone, and he
spoke nearly as loud as ever.
A friend sat,by his bedside, and he dictated
the Wilt was read to him afterwards, and
he assented to its correctness by saying "all
right" at the end Of each paragraph, exclaim-
ing at the close: at is just as l want it."
He then hesitated a moment, and dictated an
important correction. A pen was given him
and he signed it in handwriting as firm and
bold as he ever wrote in his life, even punctu-
ating the abbreviation ofhis name, and putting
an accustomed flourish beneath the signature.
Then came the sad task OF bidding his friends
