Object of the Empress Carl0tta'S Visit
 to Eur0DC.

The Paris correspondent of the London Post profes5es to have precise information as to the object of Mrs. Maximilian's visit to Paris. He says:
 It is to obtain release for the present from the obligation of paying what is due to France out of the Mexican Custom House. The invasions of the insurgent ranks have greatly reduced their proceeds, which are now confined to the port of Vera Cruz. The Imperial government requires, even with the strictest economy, five hun dred thousand piasters monthly for its in- dispensable expenses, and for some time past it has not been in receipt of more than one-eighth ofthat sum from customs The financial condition of the Mexican govern ment is thus reduced to its lowest ebb.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

At a call meeting of West Point Lodge, No. A, Free and Accepted Masons, held August 10th, 1866, the following preamble andresolu- tions were unanimously adopted:
 WHEREAS, It has pleased the Grand Archi- tect of the universe to remove from our midst our beloved brother, Joshua B. Crow, and whereas, he has been a pious and true mem Der of our order. endearing himself to all by his true and noble masonic character, there fore be it
 Resolped, That we, as body, will repair to the grave, and bury our deceased brother with the usual ceremonies of the masonic fraternity.
 Resolped, That whilst we deeply deplore the loss that we, as fraternity, have sustained in the death of our beloved brother, yet we bow submissiyely to the dispensation of an Ml-wise providence.
 Resolced, That we extend to the friends and relatives of our deceased brother, our sincere condolence and sympathy, in the irreparable loss they have sustained in the death of a christian, mason, friend and father. Rcsolred, That we, as a Lodge, wear the esteem and grief for our deceased brother foI thirty days.
 Resoleed, That these resolutions be entered into the records of our Lodge, that a copy be 1 furnished the relatives of the deceased, and another to the Des Arc Citizcn for publication 1 J. ", ARNOLD, l ! ]. B. NESBlTT, Committee J. K. GQSS,

the importance of the movement now be- ing made in favor of the Des Arc, Dardan- elle and Fort Smith Railroad; and the same may be said of the kind and public spirited citizens of Hickory Plain and vicinity all they lack is the means to put the Road through. The war has robbed them of most of the means they once enjoyed, but time and favorable seasons will, ere long. put them in condition, truly enviable, for they have the energy, intelligence and public spirit to push them upward and on- ward. We aim to attend the Railroad meetings at the Plains and Austin, if we go no further along the line of appoint ments; we anticipate pleasant time and a good turn out at those places.

DIED

Al her residence. in West point, Ark Aug 27th, 1866, MKs. CAROLINE M. OLlPHlNT, aged 42 years
 Death makes no distinctions, but claims alike the young and old. To her of whom we speak he was no dreaded monster to be feared, but the silent messenger of God calling her from care and sorrow to that land of eternal spring, where age comes not, and peace and joy are everlasting. She has gone up to meet that bright circle of sainted friends, that have waited long for her upon the other side of life's river She leaves five children to mourn her loss, which is, indeed, the loss of mother and friend But to them we would say, weep not, "your mother is not dead, but sleepeth. Her spirit has already heard the ''come forth of the eblessed Jcsus," and now she swells that number that invites you ''to so number your days that you may apply your hearts to wisdom" Your mother is gone, she cannot come to you, but you may go to her.

Proclamation of the President.

The golden words of the Proclamation of Andrew Johnson are in this sentences:
 II DO FURTHER PROCLAIM THAT THE SAID RESURRECTION IS AT AN END, AND THAT PEACE, ORnER AND TRANQUILITY AND AUTHORITY NOW EXIST IN AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERI- CA"
 These long looked for words come close upon the restoration of Civil Government in Texas, and the meeting of the National Convention in Philadelphia, each most significant event in the history of the coun- try. They are most welcome, and most timely, aud ought to bexeceived with pub- lie demonstrations of joy all over the land. "Peace, Order, Tranquiiy and Authority" arc the foundations of all true liberty and and of all free governments Let every good citizen now act his part in giving them practical force and endorsement, for herein, as Edmund Burke has said, is one of those cases where sit is not enough that men mean we'll. It becomes them to do well, "--[ Memphis Bulletin

ARKANSAS o. K.--From all points we hear the glad notes of victory sounding from the Conservative bugles. Radicalism has been fairly met at the peoples tribunal, the ballot Box, and been completely rout- ed, and put to ignominious fight. The State is saved, for time at least, from the grasp of the corrupt and fanatical negro lovers-haters, rather-and I've may hope for better times Only one or two Coun- ties have, by fraud and other illegitimate means, gone negro-equality majorities. Poor Sebastian and Scott! You have the irksome task of bearing the Union League and Radical yoke. Scott. we are reinformed, was carried by the fraudulent requirement of the test oath It is hinted that some of the Townships in Sebastian had small dose of test oath also. Of course the elec- tion in Scott is illegal, and will amount to absolutely nothing. The reign of force, fraud and corruption is about ended Honest men will we hope, control affairs well, and law, justice and falr-play will again reign supreme throughout the land Arkansas will not again groan under the iniquities of sel6shness and debasiug ignor- ance. A bright future is before us-Let all rejoice and let corruption tremble.

AUSTIN.

In the published lists of appointments for Railroad speaking, We notice that on the 18th of Sept, tho advocates of the Road speak at Austin, than which there is probably no place along the line of ap- pointments where the friends of the Rail road cause will meet with a more generous, cordial reception. The writer has had the pleasure of meeting the good people of Aus tin and surrounding country on former occasion of the kind at Austin, and no where in Arkansas has he found more generous, hospitablc people than at Aus tin-intelligent, kind and public spirited; they seem to understand and appreciate

EepG Gen. John c. Yauphn. late of tn

eas- Gen. John c. Vaughn, late of the Confederate States army, now residing at Thomasyille, Ga, has written letter to the Nashville Jnioa and American, in which he says:
 l regret to see so much bad feeling ex- isting among the citizens of the United States. It looks now like we would soon be engaged in civil war. God forbid. Enough blood has already been split, and enough strife and hard feelings engendered between old friends. After the surrender of the Confederate armies l hoped the Union would be restored, under the wise policy of our distinguished statesman and President. When we surrendered | ac, cepted the conditions of the surrender, and determined to do what was right. Not withstanding all our trouble and disasters snd my misfortunes during the war, am still an American citizen-have no flag tc rally under, only that one of the United States which I marched under during the war in Mexico. Some friends wished me to leave this government and seek home on foreign soil, but l preferred to remain and live citizen of this government, and share the fate of my friends, to going to any other country on the globe. If such men as we fought, generally from the north could have controlled this government, to day we would have been all admitted back into the Union, and our affairs moving much more smoothly. But party is in power in congress who never faced an enemy's cannon or musket and they wish to impose all the contumely aud disgrace on us that they can. Such men as Grant Sheridan, Blair, and others---who fought the south do not ask ust to surrender our rights, honor, and become equal with the negro race. And when this question is fairly put before the whole people, the pol icy, of President Johnson will be sustained
 During the siege of Vicksgurg I comman- ded in front of Gen. Frank Blair's lines and l am glad that the man surrendered to is now the friend of the south
