governed by, their own regulations, rather
than those of any of6cious intermeddlcr

From the st. Louis Democrat
The victory in Arkansas, justly the theme
of most hearty congratulation with the
loyal men Of the State, is deserving of espec-
ial notice because Of the extraordinary diff.
culties which they overcame. In many
counties armed bands of rebels took pos
session of the polls, drove Union men away,
and by intimidation or by force greatly
reduced the vote which would otherwise
have been cast for the constitution. Beside
these more violent methods, every influence
that money or the ownership of land could
give was freely used to prevent laborers and
poor people from voting the Republican
ticket. All honor to the steadfast loyal men
of that State that through every discourage
ment and difficult they steadily persevered
The loyal papers also give great, and we
Judge well-deserved credit to General Gil
lem and General Smith for the able and
conscientious discharge of their duties
under the reconstruction law.
1t is a noteworthy fact that several of the
successful candidates were former residents
of Kansas. One of the Senators elect, Mr..
Mcdonald, was long resident of Fort Scott
and is widely known in that State and
highly esteemed. The new Governor of
Arkansas was formerly colonel of the fifth
Kansas cavalry, and the Speaker of House,
the President of the State Convention, and
other prominent men were form erly from
the same State. Well, time has her sweet
revenges. Fourteen years ago active men
from Missouri and Arkansas were throng-
ing into the new territory of Kansas to
force upon its people the system of slavery
with all its curse and shame, and the rule
Of Democracy. Their crusade slightly
failed of success, though they went
armed with rifle, revolver, and bowie.
knife, and moisted the ground with
the blood of many unoffending
men, or blackened it with the ruins Of
burned dwellings and barns. But now a
new crusade is in progress, Kansas pays
the debt with interest. She sends to Arkan-t
sas a host Of her most active and energetic
men. armed not with reV0Vers, but with

crate the State, and lead it back to loyalty,
prosperity, and peace. Nobler revenge no
State could wish. And the true people of
Arkansas, as the vote shows, not only vel
comes this friendly crusade, but receive the
new corners with open hearts, and elevate
them TO places Of honor and trust. Truly,
peace hath its victories even more than
war, and victories more glorious and endur-

On the morning Of DR.. Dostie's death he
requested friend to write several letters
that he desired to dictate. Said he: Write
to General Butler thatin my opinion had he
been in New Orleans on the 30th of July,
that massacre would not have occurred.
Write to General Banks that my dying
request to him was not to forget the cause
of the colored man and liberty In Louisiana.
Write to my mother, brothers, and sisters,

On Sabbath morning he seemed to have
recovered strength. Many of his friends
had hopes of his recovery, and thinking
quiet was what he required, he was left to
the care of one or two friends and the Sis

" am dying. die for the cause of liberty.
