Bsg@ A Southern man may be loyal with out going into ecstacies of delight over Thaddeus Stevens project for disfranchis- ing the white men of the South and con fseating their property To require the South thus to kiss the rod that smites, as an evidence of loyalty, is to require what human nature, in it's most meek and gra- cious state, has never achieved It is very much like the old-fashioned test applied to converts-they could not besaved till they were willing to be damned And yet this is the gist of a great deal of the prevalent de- nunciation of the South. The articles cop jed from Southern papers as evidence of disloyalty are chiefly diatribes against the Northern extremists, who seek the further punishment and humiliation of the South The same papers avow their earnest purpose to obey the Constitution and laws, to accept all the results of the war, and to conduct themselves in every respect as good citizens of the United States. Pollard's low abuse of the Virginia women who dance with Union officers is provoking enough; but 1t is not treason, and the suppression of his paper was mistake that the President did well to correct What the Govern ment eds to do in the South is not to suppress disloyal sheets and writing, but to maintain freedom ot speech and press for all, loyal and disloyal.

An Exciting Scene in the T. s. Senate --The Expulsion of Senator Stock ton of New Jersey.
From the St. Louis Republican,

From the St. Louis Republican.
 Washington, March 27.
 The Senate to-day was the great center of attraction, the galleries commenced to fill up two hours before the meeting of that body; even the diplomatic gallery received its portion of spectators By 12 o'clock ingress and egress were alike impossible hundreds thronged the halls and corridors unable to get even a glimpse of the great scene within The House galleries were deserted and so was the House floor. By o'clock they were without quorum; a call the House was ordered, af- ter which an adjournment followed, and it was found impossible to secure the attendance of the large numbers who were attracted to the Senate.
 At o'clock the struggle to oust Senator Stockton from his seat commenced by gener al running debate, which lasted until D. 1n When the final vote was reached on the main question as to whether Mr. Stockton was titled to his seat, it became evident as the ayes and noes were about to be called, that Senator Steward had disappeared from the chamber, and that if the vote stood as it did on Friday, with the exception ofthe Nevada Senator, Mir. Stockton would be expelled The roll-call proceeded amid breathless silence and the re- suit announced proved the correctness of the anticipations, for the resolution declaring him not entitled to his seat passed Ex-Senator ptoChtou, WILL dtuOhSdhu Sy eS HAeu upOH HiAi, rose from his seat, proceeded to the cloak room, and taking his hat, coat and cane, walked from the chamber as a simple citizen.
 During the proceedings the private Secreta- ry of the Executive appeared in the Senate chamber and announced that the President had returned the Civil Rights bill with his ob- jections. This created quite futter in the chamber, and seemed to hasten the decision of the contest of the New Jersey Senatorship. It may be added that three Senators who would have voted for the retention of Mr Stockton were absent by reason of illness They are Senators Foot, Dixon and Wright.
 The veto message will be considered to- morrow The friends of the Civil Rights bill are quite conf dent tonight that they can procure the requisite two thirds vote to pass it over the veto. Stocktons expulsion, and his successors adhesion to the bill will prob ably cause change from the veto sustaining the former veto of the Freedmens Bureau Bill. If this prove true, the veto will not be sus- tained.
 The hotels and public places are full of ex- citement tonight over the veto, and party feeling runs high.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-WHEREAs By proc lamations on the 10th and 18th ofApril, 1861. the President of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in him by the Constitution and the laws. declared that the laws of the United States were opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Car olina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mssissip- to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the power vested in the Marshals by law; and, whereas, by an other proclamation made the 18th day of Au- gust, in the same year, in pursuance of an act of Congress- approved July the 18th, 1861. the inhabitants of Georgia, South Carolina, Vir- ginia, North Carolina Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida, ex- cepting the inhabitants of that portion of Vir- ginia lying west of the Allegheny mountains, and of each other part of that State and the other States before named as might maintain a loyal adhesion to the Union and the Consti- tuition, or might from time to time be occupied and controlled by the forces of the United States engaged in the dispersion of insurgents who were declared to be in state of insurrec- i sioa against the United States
 Whereas by another proclamation of the first day of July, 1862, issued in pursuance of another actof Congress, approved June 7th of the same year, tie insurrsction was declared still to be existing in the States aforesaid, with the exception ofcertain specified counties in the State of Virginia; and, whereas, by an other proclamation made on the second day or 1 April, 1868, in pursuance of the act of Con- gress of July 18th, 1861, the exceptions named in the proclamation of August 10th, 1881, were revoked, and the inhabitants of the States of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alahams, Louisians, Texas, Ark

LET IT CoME,-lt is again reported that the President is about to issue proclamation of Peace and Amnesty. It has been delayed by the dilatory reconstruction movements in Texas, and the Instructions of Congress- The President knows better than any one else possibly can the proper time for the issuance of such a proclamation, and we are willing to trust to his judgment as to the best time. We are glad to be assured that will certainly come.
 The Treasury Department during the last three days of last week. printed upwards of S229, coo in fractional currency ofthe latest issues ofthe four denominations, and prepared for issue S50000 in ones and twos, which are now ready for delivery.

RSpWe give in another column,

aas~We give in another column, the Proclamation of ANDREW JOHNSON, de claring the war at an end, the States no longer in rebellion. The spirit of this Proclamation is in keeping with the Presi- dents course, breathing peace and harmony in every line It comes to the people of the South, as the breezes of the morning, richly laden with comfort, encouragement and hope. There is no stern rebuke for offences committed No mocking exulta- tion over fallen foe. It is manly ack- nowledgment of. the good faith of the southern people. It is a great relief to turn from the rampant denunciations of the radical disunionsts, to calm review of so able document, as this proclamation Let the President continue this course and in spite of all opposition, he will make for himself name, dear to all honest Americans. A name fit to be associated with all that is good, true and noble.

CONGRESS AND BUsINEss.-Th dry goods trade is at standstill. 4 crash Is impending. Imported goods, ordered long ago in anticipation of an immense spring trade, are pouring in upon our merchantsj but no goods are sold W hat is the req son of this stoppage in business? Itis the Radicalism of Congress Our merchants counted upon large influx of buyers from the South as soon as the war was over and the Union restored The war IS oyer, but Congress persists in keeping the South out of the Union Consequently there is no Southern trade 1 he Western merchants arrive here look about, see no business doing, no rivalry, no competition, and conclude that they will wait awhile before purchasing, until thingt get set tied" There is now no sale for the goods produced by our own manufactories. Presently the manufactories will have to stop work Then we shall see thousands of people thrown out of employment, star vation staring them in the face, their chil- dren crying for food. Riots will follow, and perhaps revolution. Why is all this? Not because of the high prices of gold, for gold is lower than atany time du- ring the war. Not because of the tariff, for that has not been changed since the war No; it is because few dozen Rad icals in Congress have made uptheir minds to ruin the country or carry the next Pres idential election by negro votes or by the exclusion of all votes from the South It is because another rebellion, more wicked than the last, IS tugging at the yitals of the nation It is because a few men at Wash ington prefer their party to their country.

rtss~We were never 50 much in need


 pa~W We were never so much in need of active energy, as noac. Truly it may be said of us as people, that now is the ac- cepted time,' now the day of salvation. Our country has been torn, devastated and 6lcd by war. We have been deprived of property, and made poor in all things, save honor, industry and energy; yet this is no reason that we should always remain so. Situated as we are-surrounded by fer tile lands, and untold mineral wealth---it should be shame upon us asa people, did we not exert ourselves to improve our country, build up our town, and make our state one of the poaoers of the land. Now that our-labor system is changed, a more extended system of improvement becomes necessary. Art and science must be brought to bear upon that, which at one time, physical labor accomplished. In all that pertains to the improvement of our country. God has indeed blessed us. A rich and productive soil is waiting to be titled. Mines of untold wealth are ready now to yield to the honest workmen, the reward of their labor What we need is the spirit, the energy 10 take hold upon such enterprises as will make us honored and wealthy as people, and prove to the world, that Arkansas has within herself the clements of greatness, the genius of prosperity. The most feasible plan by which the great store houses of our State may be unlocked, and the rich freights of her mines and soil brought to market, and their distributed to the world, is, make them accessible by Railroads. Already have we been blessed in charters, surveyed routes smooth even territory, and it only remains for us as people, to determine not only to lend our influence, but pockets, and the work Is done We know there are men, who say you can't build this or that road, 1t Is too early, we are too weak. "When shall we be stronger z Does the child ever walk without repeated efforts! Can an undertaking be ever ended, until it is first begun? Shall we remain in this state of convalescence, this moral, intellect ual and civil stupidity? No, weak strong we must begin to work.
 We have in Des Are, one of the mos promising towns of the State, accessible by water at all times of the year, and thus connected with the whole Eastern world If we are actuated by the proper motives if we are alive to our own interests, we vii set to work, connect ourselves by rail witt the west, and make our town the city of tht State.
 The question of constructing the roa( from this point to Fort Smith, by way Q Dardanelle. has already, been discussed t considerable extent This is move il the right direction Let the people o Des Arc not only determine to engage il this woSk. butinfuence others to do so; thu uniting the broad plains of the West, witl the rich valleys of the East, they vii make for themselves name, that shal only be excelled by their prosperity an' wealth.
