nay- One week from to.dav. we ar,

pas- One week from to-day, we are to have m election to dertcrmine whether or not we shall have Dis trict Court at Des Arc. We greatly fear the people of this and adjoining townships are not interesting them selves in this matter as they should !; ithat they are not engaging the support ofthcir neighbors, and striving to con 'iuce all of the importance of this mat tvr. We cannot but think that this matter is of the greatest importance to large portion of Prairie county. Their interests demand that this court should be established at Des Arc. Here it accommodates itself to the conven- fence and necessity of a large portion of the citizens .of'fhe county and will be 'a great step toward the easy and prompt transaction of county business. This measure win no duliht meet with some opposition, but why it should we cannot see; it is not proposed to hurt any one. Those who are convenient to the .eonnty site can still transact their business dt that place, and those who have parfiality for our county of ificcrs, will here have the same officers in power. There is ITO reason, we re- peat why this measure siionld not be heartily supported by all, in every portion of the county it is for the coun- tty's benefit and for the convenience of large portion of her citizens that it Is proposed. But there are some, per haps. who say the county is already sufiicicatly taxed and that itliis scheme will heap additional burtacrn upon the county. We endorse this sentiment :: we are too heavily taxed and because we ure will not propose to tax the peo- pie more. The establishment of this Court at Des Arc will not cost the county a dollar; it is proposed to build a courtroom by private subscription. and they who support us in this thin z may rest assured they will never be called upon to pay for it. Vote us the court and we will build the house or bear the expense. From these con- alterations we call upon the people oi Prairie county to come mp to our help on the 2lst. Let every one interest
 himself in this matter, determine to come out himself, aud de all he can to bring his ncigifbor to the polls ahd vote for a District Court at Des Are.

The Pacific Railroad.
inc St Louis Times1

From the St. Louis Times.
 A correspondent of the San Francis co Alta-Californian has recently ex- plored the route of the Pacific Railroad from Sacramento to the summit of the Sierra Nevada. The route is at first through level, rich plains. Soon this is broken into und1lating, then rugged country, growing wilder and more diff ficult as the road approaches Cisco, which is 5,9o0 feet above the ocean lev el. Here is the snow line. So far. about l. 300 tunnels have beeu construc- ted and numbered. Number six is the most noticeable. It is 2.G59 feet hong, and took years labor to make. Within two and half miles there are dozen tunpels of greater or less extent. The front of No. is a broad wall Of flawless granite, over one hundred feet high. The bridges are all ef the Howe Truss pattern, and are eleven in num- Der, making in all a distance of over half mile of bridging One of the cu- riosites is the snow tunnels, which are rooted coverings over the track in such places where the road is likely to be blocked with the SHOWS. There are to be thirty miles of this kind of pro-
 
 ovora half mile in length. The track is laid to within aine miles of the sum- init point, and ahoat twenty miles on the east side of it. The uncompleted road was expected to be siuished be- fore the snows came. When the sum- nit connection is made the only erea, obstacles between it and Salt Lake may be considered overcome. There will be then a section of GOO miles to build, of which one-half can be con structed at the rate of one mile per day, and the rest will require about year to finish it. 1t will take, from the beginning, three and half years to construct the road to Salt Lake.
 The Central Pacific expects to be able to finish their share of the trans continental road at Fort Bridser, l20 miles beyond Salt Lake City, and if the Union Pacific Company arc fortu- nate enough, notwithstanding Indian fights, expensive transportation, etc, to finish their end in time to meet the California branch at Fort Bridger, we shall be able to whirl across the con tinent from the Sacramento 10 the Mis- souri in three days and half, in two years aud a half from this time.

Some time 300 Mayor Honkins q.

Some time ago Mayor Hopkins ad- dressed note to General Smith, comman- ding this sub district, informing him that the law required him to make procama- ton of an election to fill the municipal officers for the comng year, aud inquirins if there would be any military interference to prevent such election The conmunica. ton has been returned, with the state ment that the vacancies will be filled by appointment by General Ord.
 llo understand that Gov. Murphy has been ordered to make out commissions for the municipal officers aud sead them to district headquarters. Whether the governor is allowed to recommend persons. or whether the blanks are to be filled up by the general or whether any attention will be paid to recommendation from citizens, we are unable to say. Soon after the news was rumored on the streets on Thursday last, quite number of individ- uals, were to be seen on the main thorough fares way laying and button holing pedes- trans to force them with importunities to sign recommendations for the salaricd places. As there are many persons who don't allow few indiscreet acts to prevent them from rasping their threats with the irouclad, and us straw bonds are the order of the day, we presume General Ord will not lack for candidates to select from.

ARE WE RuINED2

The whole country seems 10 be in agitation-onc universal hue and cry is borne upon every breeze, i've are luined!' Men go sbcet with tong faces and lugubrioas tones, as if they had just returned from the burial of thoir best friends and the cry is, no money, times are harder than thev ever were. Can't pay debts. 'taint worth while to try any longer, we have all gone up and are ruined. Some are taking the Bankrupt law, or availing themselves of its provisions, others are smuggling up what little they have and concealing it under subterfuges, as if guarding against dreadful storm or the sudden incursions of Goths and Vandals. Confidence between man and aan has taken its flight, promises are looked upon as ~'pie crust,' made only 10 be broken, We have in prac- tice become Ishmaelites, "with our hands against every man and feel that every mans hands are against us." The genial currents of the soul are frozen. The milk of human kindness has evaporatcd; sympathy and fellow feeling arc as d sounding brass and q tinkling cymbal." And why all this i? Simply because men have been impul- sive aud eager to outstrip each other :; have gone into debt; have in many in stances, been too extravagant in living and dressing, and have forgotten the eternal decree, Gin the sweat of thy Saoe shalt thou eat bread all the days of thy fife"
 We have the same soil and clisne, the same faculties, physical and mental, the same dews and rains, the same natural advantages, as in gone-by years our skies are as bright. and our inducements as inviting and high as of yorc. But the people have lived too fast for their means or ipcome, and find themselves in debt. Cotton has gone down and instead of getting 20 or 9 cents per pound for their cotton, they arc getting only s and 10 cents. But what of all this: "where there is a win there is way" and the principle is the same in social policy as in the great scheme of salvation, which tells us to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" So in the sweat of our faces let us work out our pecu- niary salvation. Thus did our noble ancestors think and act when the war for Independence terminated in lTS3. They found themselves poor, bank rupt, destitute, but they did not des- pair, but went to work like noble men and women, and the result of their ef- forts and unyiclding energy are well known. We can all float along on the tide of prosperity, but 1t requires nerve and energy to stem the current of ad- versity. Adversity makes great men :; prosperity ruins them and their chil- dren after them.

When reconstruction Is accomr- i,Led in the southern states, according to the southern radical papers, we are to have a political millenirm. Ue have n very beautiful exhibition of it in Tennes- see. under parsnu. Brownlow and h's radi- cal aiders and abcttors. In Arkansas we are to rave schools at the forks of every road-railroads all over the state, and i'm migrants pouring in on all sides, and as the Indians used to say-when east of the Mississippi. and the beauties and benefits of the west were held up to their view by Gen. Jschscn's emigrating ascnts--in Arkansas, fritters grow on the bushes, and honey on the stumps and we have only to pull of the fritters and eat them with the honey on the stumps.

Tt is believed that all the Sditltefh States which are likely to be 'recon- structed during the Tpiesert session of Congress, will be represented in the Convention, and with very few excep- tions. the delegates from them will vote for Mr. Chasc as the nominee.

The Next Presidential Campaign.

The most important Presidential cam paicn that has ever come off in this coun. try will ere long open. Already lrelim - nary arrangements are being maae in some of the States, and already the claims oi different gentlemen ure freely canvassed for the respective party nominations. Al such time it is not out of place to consi- der the principles npon which it will be proper for che Democracy to enter into the contest Important among the issues that should be made in the platform laid down by the Democratic party are these;
 l. Nen-recognition in any form of the negro State governments created by Con gressipnal usurpation, and the maintenance as ;llne legitimate, of the old State gUverr. ments in the ten excluded States until such time as'they shall be changed by the people under their existing constitutions
 2. Protection to the negro in his civil rights tty the States everywhere; but q firm opposition to the attempt of Congress to control the elective franchise in any State.
 3. Retiring the national bank currency and ubstituting greenbaeks, so as to take up the bondsas speedily as can be done without deranging business or infating too muehthe volumo of currency.
 4. The payment of the national debt in say thirty years, in accordance with the terms of the contract, by small sinking fund so as to reduce and equa,ze the tariff and the enormous burden of taxation
 5. The cultivation ot spirit of harmony and fraternity among the people of all the States on the basis of the perpetuity'ot the Union and Constitution, and the detelmina. tion to "lct the past bury the past"
 6. The nomination of candidate, soes to unite all the elements of opposition to Radicalism for the overthrow of negro rule and military despotism, on the principle of mutual tolerance and forbearance as to former differences of opinion.
 This is substantially the platform adop- ted by the Ohio Democracy, and it is one upon which Democrats everywhere can stand It s'especiully important that the issue should be squarely and boldly made with reference to the status of the South opn States No proposition was ever Hiainer than that those States are already members ofthe Union under constitutions formed by their people, and that ell the legislation of Congress looking to recon struction,' us it is called, is most gross and fragrant usurpatidn.
