MINORITY REPORT OF TIE RECON
 STRUCTE0N COMMITTEE.

Reyerdy Johnson has lately put forth 6 paper in the shape of a Minority Report of the Reconstruction Committee, which for ability and clear comprehensive logic, is superior to anything we have seen on the subject, which he in it discusses, He de- fines the relative rights of State and Fede- ral government in an able manner, and manfully defends the Presidents policy as being most conducive to the interest oi the whole country. Claims that the south ern representation should be admitted into congress, that the Southern States are fully in the Union, and should have all the con- sequent privileges, rights and franchises Were it not so lengthy, we should publish 1t entire.

DESPERATE EFFRAY---SEVEE FER
 SINS KILLED AND WQUNDED.

A bloody fight occurred at a barbecue on bayou metre, in this county, on Friday the 22nd, which resulted in the death of Dr. Farr and 3 NIT. Baily and the wound ing of several others, amongst which were Nathan Byrd and Capt Can't. We have been unable to gather full particulars con- cerning this lamentable affair, but learn that it had its origin in an old difficulty between Farr and Byrd Capt. Can't who was slightly wounded, was in no way con cerned in the disturbance, but wounded accidentally.

The Wedge of Gold,

We take the following from the New York ObserUer::
 The question is often asked, "What shall we do to restore the feelingot friend ship between the North and South z, Just so long as each section or portions of each section hate the other, give vent to their passions, boast over each other revive the past, threaten in the future; Just so long we will be divided people. A little incident has just transpired in Indiana which is touching, and which will do more to melt into love the bitterness engender- ed by the war than can be easily imagined When our army occupied Baton Rouge, a force was placed around the deserted man sion of Col Bird, who was abroad in the Confederate service At last 1t was deemed advisable, as military necessity, to destroy it: and house furniture and library, were at once reduced to ruin. 4 young Ameri- can officer saved two splendid out-glass vases of gigantic size of French manutae- ture and two books from the library, which he forwarded to his uncle in Indiana. Said that uncle to me, "I never wanted them my wife never wanted them; felt like thief every time looked at them :" But now to find the owner, how to return them, was the question After trying several plans without success, he finally asked the Grand Master Mason of one of the Western States to write to the Grand Master of the State of Louisiana, and if possible through him to find out where Col Bird could be found, if living, and ii dead, who his heirs were. He was grow ing more and more nervous over them. Although the plundeT of war, they were not his It was peace now, and they must not remain ia his house.
 A few days since he received a touching letter from Col Bird, who had survived the great conflict. He was raking among the ashes of his home, not knowing that . thing had escaped the fire Yes, he want. ed the vases, the books It vas all that was left--the only link that he had to bind the past and the present. Send them care fully; spare no expense. Such was the tenor of his letter And then his thanks and expressions of regard for the kindness and tenderness that prompted such an act.
 Last week the vases and books were packed, and gre now on their way to Baton Rouge
 How many houses in this fair land ol ours have this wedge of gold in them How many are furnished outright from the plunder of the war Some, 1 know. Il there is any one who can sleep easy undel such load. he deserves pity.

DIES ARG, ARKANSAS, JUNE 30, 1866.
OF PR AERTE COUNTY.


 THE time is fast coming when every man in the country will be called upon tc say, at the ballot box, who shall rule over them in the councils of the nation and 1t is of first importance that we, as people should select such men as will legIslate wisely for us and reflect the greatest honor upon the country and people they repre- sent. We may not at the present time need much legislation, but we certainly need wise legislators. The matter and measures that will be brought before our legislative bodies, and submitted to the people, will be of the greatest importance, not only to few, but, to every man calling himself citizen of the country in which they are designed to have effect.
 As every man is to be benefited or in jured by every law that will from this time forth be passed in our land, it is every mans duty to say whether or not ha tavors such law. We hear many say, Il do noi care to vote, it is immaterial whether this man, or that man is elected; their election Is, or will be of TO benefit to me" Now this is mistaken view; it is very material to every one of us who is elected, for we are all interested in the future welfare oi our country, and that welfare depends mainly upon the wisdom displayed in the arrangement of our governmental policy by such men as we select as our officers.
 We were on yesterday shown letter from citizen of this State, high in author ity, in which he says, the test oath IS not required as republication to vote, nor is Il required that man be resident of the State six months after taking the amnesty oath" Both of these reports have been circulated, and are believed by many, and we are glad to disabus, their minds of such ideas We repeat 1t, jt is of vital importance that every qualified voter of the State should exercise the privilege granted him, by voting for those men best qualified to fill the various offices in the gift of the people, of which people he is . part. We shall not pretend to say which of the yari- ous candidates before the peopls is most entitled to their support, CT what measures will most conducs to the building up of our country, and the establishment of our proper relations with the general Govern ment At some future time we may do this, but in this article We merely desire to impress upon the minds of our citizens the importance of voting, and to inform them that they are not required to take the test oath, or to reside in the State six months after subscribing to the amnesty.

We really imagine that if some men should be so fortunate as to gain admittance into the Elysian realms of Heaven, they would be opposed to the or der oftnings there, disposed to cayil and find fault, and dragon-like rebel against the laws of Heaven.

Our exchanges of late dates speak quite hopefully of the coming crop, and the pros pect in our own vicinity is much better than it was few weeks since. The late rains have had good effect, and cur farm CTS as well as those of the older states, are less willing to cry no cotton, and more hopeful of what they call good yield, considering our late gloomy prospects.

The Importance Of Factories.
From the Columbus sentinel.l

From the Columbus Sentinel,
 From accounts in our exchanges, we are gratifed to learn, that manufactories oi various kinds are being erected in nearly every town of any considerable size in the country. While the spirit of enterprise. thus substantially manifested by our neighbors, is gratifying to all friends oi progress. we would be glad to see some thing more of an interest taken by the people of Columbus, and LoWndes county, Fin the establishment of new manufactories nearer home Columbus should not be allowed to remain the 'handsome and quiet little city" that it is, but shonld be wakod up from its Rip Van Wrinkle snooze by the music of elanking looms, swift gil ding sbuttles, steam whistles and rumbling omnibuses. Columbus has grown and done well, but she can be made to grow more and do better She must keep step with the towns, villages and cities of the country that are straining every nerve in the march of improvement, or she will be left in the rear, with the mark of master ly inactivity clnging to her skirts, while villages around grow into towns, and towns into cities, there is scarcely anything so deplorable to contemplate as finished tovn CT cty-one that has got it's growth, ' and one that does no5 strive to enlarge its influence in the social and commercial world. Such q town or city Is about as useless to the moving, active world we eliyc in, as last years bird d's-nest is anywhere outside of China. Cur people should, in eur humble opinion invest their capital in manufactoTies here Gt honae: aud, if capi- tal is required, hey hope t 5a he shape of broad and rtch acres of surplus jond, which can be made an indacemcnt for the introduction of every element into the country essential to secure its advance ment and permanent prosperity. The wa ter-power, too, in our city's near vicinity can be made to set in motion and keep whirling spindles to an unlimited number and the facilities this region afford ia the way of building materials, are not sur passed anywhere We hope and believe our people are growing tired of paying tribute to New England, and that they will with whatever of means the war and New England has not robbed them-procure the erection of manufactures; and then Ii they will have the yankees to perform their labor for them, compel them to come here to do i5. If facts and figures are necessa r to convince our people that manufactur- ing here at home will pay, they are to be found in the communication of Permanent Resident" in another column of this pa per, to a careful perusal Of which we invite the attention Of our readers.

COLLECTION OF DEBTS IN ARKANsAs.-W learn from the Helena Clarion, of June 18th. that at the term Of the Circuit Court then in session at Helena, the members of the bar voluntarily agreed to stay executions on ali judgements rendered at that term for six months. Itfurther states that but for this in terposition there would have been great dis tress in the county. There is no stay law in Arkansas, but there is an act of the Legisla- ture allowing the defendant in execution to give delivery bond with securities, the effect of which is to postpone the collection of the judgment for twelve months.
