eY- Mr.. Jonathan Bieber, of Berks coun-
ty, was convicted of misdemeanor in refu-
sing, as Judge of Elections to allow Samuel
Rinert, a deserter from Company G, 74th,
P.V., to vote. He simply did his duty un-
der the law, and in obedience to the procla-
nation of the Sheriff. Governor Geary
upon the facts of the case being laid before
him, pardoned Mr.. Bieber before sentence
was pronounced upon him.

MR. EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN There appeared in the White County RECORD of last week, something i'll the way of an article or editorial, spGring at the Steamer Des Arc, or the Captain and officers of that boat, becmse, as said article has it, the Des Arc did not go to the Searcy landing, when last up the river. The writer states that Colonel Rodgers assigned the reason why the
 boat failed to get there, viz: Ion &C., count of the swiftness of the current {;
 it being a head rise," &c., "to which we
 say BAH" Now we would ask the
 writer where he gets this scary word
 BAH, and what it means We hope it
 means nothing bad to the Pilots and
 officers of the Des Arc, for we are in
 formed that they are clever, efficient
 men, and would not Intentionally Of- fend twenty or more passengers, and
 over two hundred bales of cotton, "by not coming up, besides creating no lit. It stcluS somebody was hurt-and somebodv would hurt somebody, if somebody don't do better-and we fear that some. body will let the sun go down on his wrath, if somebody don't apologize, tc somebody. "Some twenty passengers came to the landing, and all our mer. chants cotton, and all were disappoint
 ed; viz: Twenty passeMg gers and two hundred bales of cotton; what pity to disapp so much cottoR ;ef course Capt. Elliott don't want to take SC rnucf cotton on his boat. If the writer o1 the aforesaid article will make the ac- quaintance of Capt. Elliott, and his corps of gentlemanly officers. and take a trip or two with them. he will think as we do, that they are kind and clever gentlemen. K. :

Beg- Gen. Griffin, one of the super intendents of the freedman's bureau, at Galveston, Texas, forbids any public demonstration over the reinterment oi the remains of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. He is but one remove from a hycna. To forcibly preveut the pub lie expression ofan almost universally entertained respect and admiration is an approach to. that malign and ghoul- like disposition which tears up the grave and reads the mouldering clay.
