A few renegades held what they
styled republican convention at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, on the 18th ult.-
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that Congress has the exclusive right
to prescribe terms of restoration to
the late seeded States, including the
power TO amend the constitution Of the
United States, as to carry out the de-
signs of the declaration of indepen-
dence; alleging the adoption OF the
pending constitutional amendment as
absolutely necessary for the safety,
honor and dignity of the nation; ask
ing Congress to take the earliest posi-
BILE steps as will enable the loyal peo-
pie of Arkansas, without. regard to
race or color, to reorganize the State
government on the basis of sincere
and active loyalty to the United States
government, and upon clearly defined
republican principles. They also ask
congress to declare the present state
government of Arkansas abolished,
and extend the right Of suffrageto all
loyal men, without distinction of color,
except Indians untaxed.

BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-Lifei is beau
tifully compared to fountain fed by
thousand streams, that pcrishcs If
one is dried. 1t is silver cord twisted
with a thousand strings, that parts
asunder if one be broken. Frail and
thoughtlese mortals are surrounded by
innumerable dangers, which make it
much more strange that they escape
so long, than that they all perish sud-
denly at last We are encompasSed
with accidents every day, to crush the
moulding tenements that we inhabit.
The seeds of disease are planted in
our constitutions by nature, The
earth and the atmosphere, whence we
draw the breath of life, is pregnant
with death. Health is made to operate
it's own destruction! The food that
nourishes contains the elements of
decay; the soul that animates it by
viyifying fire tends to wear it out by its
own action; death turks in ambush
along our paths. Notwithstanding
this is the truth so palpably confirmed
by the daily examples before our eyes,
how little do we lay it to heart! We
see our friends and neighbors perish
ing among us, but how seldom does it
occur to our thoughts that our knell
shall, perhaps, give the next fruitless
warning to the world!

he was of course my brother, and in
the meantime my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother, because she
was my mothers mother. / was my

NrAron MONROE BEFoRE THE MOT ~ !.
yEsT1a ALTON UUsssfTrEE.-1f1 oDedl-
ence to subpoena issued by the Con-
gressional Investigation Committee
now in session at the st. Louis Hotel,
in our city, Mayor Menroe yesterday
aanneared before them. In answer TO
interrogatories propounded ny the
Chairman, Mr.. Eliot, he gave his name
in full, and stated that he was nc.
present Mayor of the city of New VI
leans. Mr.. Eliot then desired 70 know
whether Mr.. Monroe had anything 70
advance in his defence. Mr.. Monroe
replied by stating that he was not
aware that he was upon trial, but that
he was ready to answer any and all
questions that the gentlemen OF the
committee might desire to ask. MI.
Eliot then desired him to make full
statement concerning the riot OF the
3Oth of July last. The Mayor mere
produced two printed reports OF state
ments relative to the riot made by
him previously, one before the mil
itary commission, and the other
before the Grand Jury, and stated
that as these had been sworn to by
himself they would probably answer
the purpose. The committee objected
to receiving these as testimony,
whereupon Mr.. Monroe proposed to
read them.
This, Mr.. Boyer thought would be
sufficient, but he was overruled in his
opinion by Messrs. Shellaberger and
Eliot. The Mayor then proceeded to
state in substance his testimony as
given on the occasions above alluded
| to. Mr. Monroe took occasion to re-
mark that he was not an original Sc
cessionist, but a .operationist
though he believed then, as he did now
that the States have rights separate
and apart from those of the Genera
/ Government.
| That at the outbreak Of the war, in
his opinion, there was but one Union
man in the city of New Orleans, and
that was DR.. Dostie, for he was the
only man who left the city under the
proclamation of jefferson Davis, leav-
! ing all he was worth behind.
In conclusion, Mr.. Monroe stated
that the first secession speeches he
heard made were delivered by Messrs.
Michael Hahn and R. King Cutler, and
that the most prominent States Rights
man, at that time, was Mr.. w. r. Fish,
whose name was second on the South
ern Rights Association of New Or
leans. Duriy>g most of the time Mr..
MenssSSas giving his testimony, but
I only one member remained lin the
room, Mr.. Boyer, of Pennsylvania.

refuse allegiance to the ''despotic leaders, "
keep out Of Congressional caucuses, EN-
deavor at once to rescind all measures which
operate as mere insult and annoyance to in
telligent men Of the South, give over the eff
fort to establish negro government by the
disfranchisement of the whites repeal the

CURIOUS CHANGE OF MIND.-Here is q

previous to the election in that State:
"You must storm the Sabastopol of the
Almighty and shell Him from His throne,
before the principles Of the Democratic party
can predominant.
There is reason to believe that this pro-
fame Senator-who has been selected by his
party to be the provisional President al
ter the President has been deposed-now
entertains different opinion concerning the
possibility Of Democratic success. For this
it is stated, is now his language;
