DIES ARG.

The readers of the Citizen must eX- cuse our frequent allusions to the city oc Des Are. We say CITY because we are incorporated, and have a Mayor and Councilmen of unquestioned claims to good taste, good order and good regulations. None will disagree from our assertions that Des Arc has all the natural advantages necessary 10 make ii one of the most important places in iu the State or Territory of Arkansas <: and perhaps no place ill the West has improved more rapidly within the last eighteen months than Dcs Are. There is evidently laudablc zeal, felt and evidenced among the citizens and bus mess men here to push forward every effort and enterprise calculated to build up and improve this place. The chief obstacle in the way of immediate Improvement ill many particulars is the want of means. Times are hard, money is scarce, and the Mayor and Councilman are doing all they can with the means at their disposal Re- cently the streets running cast and west. and most of those running north and south, have been cleaned of the shrubs and undergrowth the sutters and drains have been opened, and soon, we learn, that all the lots upon which bushes and shrubs arc growing will be cleared of and rid ofall undergrowth, thereby rendering Des Are one Of the loveliest, dIycst and most beautiful places in Arkansas. We take pleasure in alluding to these facts, and hope this public spirit may increase. We also hope that no invidious distinctions may find their way to the Councilmen of our city. No partialities or prefer ences should be shown to any man or set of men; none should be asked or granted: no class Legislation should be entertained or tolerated in letting con tracts for work. or in any privilege within the power Of the cornoration to grant We arc decidedly in favor

MT. Beeoher in Defence of tho Re
 lease of Jefferson Davis.

Some of the good people of Plymouth Church brought up the Jea. Davis matter in the prayer meeting last even ing. Of course it led to many remarks and in many veins-some dcnunciatory of those who bailed and those who per- mitted the bailing; others palliating, and yet others justifying the whole transaction. Forgiveness Of enemies was the text from which the subject originated. MT. Beecher declared very emphatieally that, under our laws and institutions, the keeping Davis q pris- oner without trial and without bail for more than six months was unjuStiiiable and wrong, and that. had his offer been necessary, he would not, at any mo- ment the last year, have hesitated to present himself as bail for his appear ancc. In saving that, he drew the line of distinction between the actual com mission of crime by direct acts and the position, as he thought Davis occupied as the representative man of the south
 He also touched upon the difference between vengeance and justice, and thought that having crushed the rebel lion We could afford to overlook the rcbellious acts of it's leaders just as easily as those of the followers. But doing this does not shield either leader or follower from punishment for mur- ders, assassinations, or inhumanities disconnected from mere rebellion. The interest excited throughout the dis course was intense, but all passed pleasantly with the closing hymn N. !. Sun, 21th inst.

Who Gan Register2

The law says: "All persons who are citizens of the United States. of twen- ty-one years of age, who have resided twelve months in the State, and who have not held any office under the Federal Government, or any executive, legislative, or judicial office ill any State, and afterwards en@agedin insur- rection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof" This is the oath required of all men, asking to be reg istered. It is plain from this, that on- ly those who have held any one of the offices enumerated above are to be ex- cluded from the right of suffrage for having participated in the war, or giv- en aid and comfort 10 those engaged therein And to bring those officers named closely within the purview of the law, they must have been actively engaged in the Southern caUsc or gfv- ing aid to those so engaged. A mere expression of sympathy, whether writ ten or spoken, or extending relief to individuals who may have been enga- ged in the revolution, cannot be the aid and comfort contemplated by the law Exchange.

Gen. Robert E. Lee for President,


 The Evansville (Indiana) Daily Senti- mel, on the Border, one of whose editors was an officer in the Federal army during the war, writes double lepded leader in favor of Gen. Robert E. Lee for President in 1868.
 We today nominate Gen Robert E. Lee, of Virginia, as our fayorite for Presi- dent in 1868.
 Gen. Lee stands before the world an American nobleman; a Christian, without ostentation; and soldier without peer, living or dead.
 We ask not whether this purest and mo- blest of living Americans, led forth the le- gions of Virginia in defence of his native State in an aggressive war upon it's sove- reignty by the Federalist of the North or whether partisan legislation has stricken down his rights as citizen in the Fede- ralistic system of standardization. We see only the man, with his spotless purity of fcharacter, nobility of person, true chris tian greatness and peerless honor.
 Acknowledged at home and abroad as the greatest and the purest amongst us, we deeriehim most amply qualified to ad- minister with dignity and truth the princi- pies for which his illustrous kinsman, George Washington, fought, and which the bitter passions of degenerate sons have so long imperiled.
 Gen Robert F. Lee is the first choice of a grand army of Democrats in the North, who are not afraid to urge his claim be- fore the country for that position for which God especially endowed him. The timid men of the party may tremble when his namc is spoken, but the brave applaud.
 We believe that Gen. Lees nomination by the Democrats of tle North would be hailed with delight by every lover of true manhood and nobility of character through out the world.

reA-T The Radicals are making extraordi- nary efforts to convert the Southern people to the policy of enfranchising the negro, and placing the leading white men in subjection. What use is there, or rather what IS the need of wasting time and money in doing this when the same end can be reached by simple act of Congress, enforced by the bayonet. Since the Southern people are not allowed the exercise of free will, there can be no use for discussion among them on political sub jects. Sheridan and Sickles, Griffin and Mower, are the proper instruments to use in the Sonth, not to enlighten, but to subject them, as the Radicals mean to do, -T St. Louis Times.
Des Arc weekly citizen., 1867-06-08

Esy~ An Radicaldom stands aghast at the little disturbance which occur red at mobile the other day. We are told that it is the outcropping of the old pro-slavery intolerance, and re- quires prompt and vigorous measures. We are informed that it is the resur- rection of the secession doctrine, and must be dealt with summarily and de- cisively. We are assured that it is the rekindling of the smouldering fires of an unsubdued rebellion. and howl is set up that if need be. these fires must be quenched in blood. Such are the false and malevolent comments made by Jacobin editors and politicians on the Mobile affair. In what marked contrast with this manner of viewing comparatively unimportant local dis turbance. was the reception by the same parties of the information, few days since, that disturbance of equal or even greater extent had occurred at Brownsville, Tennessee. In the latter case brickbats were freely used. Over hundred pistol shots were fired. The number of people wounded was not less than twelve or fifteen. Why is it that the Radical press, teeming as it is with comments upon the Mobile dis turbauce, is silent upon the Browns vile disturbance? The whole expla- nation of the apparent inconsistency, lies in the fact thatat Brownsville the lriotous proceedings were confined to members of the Radical party-occur- red, ill short, in mixed Radical con versation of whites and negroes. Eur ther comment is unnecessary.-[L Louis vile Courier.
