Business Prospects orLouisyille

Notwithstanding the great distress that has prevailed in all commercial and industrial affairs during the past few months. we have good reason to be hopeful of the future. Much of the suffering has been occasioned by the ignorance, stupidity and wrong head edness of those having charge of our Government finances but there is good reason to believe that even this Congress will correct some of the evils.
 Our city is beginning to take high rank in manufactures, for which it has great natural advantages. Our people are beginning to see that it requires something more than buying and sell ing to make city--that industry, the source of all wealth, is needful, and must be encouraged. Our commercial men sec that, unless the industrial in- terests are duly fostcred and encour- aged, theirs mus. -uffcr.
 pat u,ith all we have donc, witn tiiU millions we have invested in manufac- lures, we have made only a respectable commencement. We have, for instance, several large manufactorics of wooden goods, but we need many more- We have not carpet factory nor cotton factory of any description. There is room for new factories of various kinds, in which millions may be prof. tably invested. We have water power more than four times that at Lowell going to waste, waiting for a little energy and enterprise to develop, which must eventually make Louisville the great city of the West.
 With the great change we confidently look for in the management of the Gov ernment finances, there will be means to rebuild the waste places ofthe South, when large increase of trade from that quarter must naturally be expec- ted here.
 Property in the city has been too high, and, consequently, rents have been in many instances "out of all req son Y but, as we are no ''pent-up Utica, confined between hills like Cincinnati, we arc extending over a large area. The city railroads enable us, when property is too high in one locality, to easily seek another, where we can buy at living prices. For manufacturing purposes, this gives us great advan- tages.-Louisville Gazette.

The Jackson Whig, ofthe 18th, says 1: | A band of horse thieves has been opera thing in the counties lying along the west bank of the Tennessee river for some weeks past. Some of the rascals vcntured into two of the thickest set tied neighborhoods of this county, a short time back, and succeeded in mak ing big haul. We have heard of sev- cral citizens who lost each horse or mule, while one gentleman, R. NJ. Mason, Esq, residing near Spring Creek, had stolen from his stable, in one night, three very valuable young mules, all he had. This is too bad. Yet we may expect an increase in the number of these maurauders, since their lives and liberties are under the especial care and pardoming grace of our mercitul Governor.

The CITIZEN is presented to the people of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem- ocratic weekly in the State. Although independent in all things, and neutral in nothing, it is emphatically
 FAMILY NEwsFAFzE, And now ranks as one of the first in the State. The greatest care will be taken to make it's selections choice and instructive. X new feature will soon be added by pub fishing story each week, or if too long, running it through two or three numbers. The political complexion of the Citizen is white-opposed to negro suffrage and a score of other Radical tenets, and while opposing them shall advocate the principle that white men should rule white men.
 In times of great political danger every man should take paper, and it is more than probable that the present year will witness more political excitement and ex- traordinary political events than any pre- vous one of our nationality. Let the people assist the CITIZEN by joining in and making up clubs, and they will there by render it powerful auxiliary in their warfare against hateful negro suffrage and the many other evils the Radical party design thrusting upon the State.

D@ On last Saturday night, gentle man and his wife were returning from church, in this city, to their home in the eastern suburbs. In passing near an old house in which family of ne- groes reside, they discovered negro woman standing in the door, intently peering out into the darkness, and in the direction in which the gentleman and his wife were passing along. When the latter had reached point where the light from the house fell full upon them, the excited watcher in the door suddenly threw up both hands and calculated in tones of evident fright "My God, Ku Klux!" Jumping back, she slammed the door, fully persuaded that she had seen one of the graveyard brigade.
 The air was chilly, and the gentle mans wife had tied white handker- chief over her ears-giving her spec tral appearance hence the poor darkie' s fright.-lJackson Whig.

important Rumor About Grant.

? A Washington telegram Of August II to the
New York World spys: Most extraordinary ru-
m ors are afloat in this city touching the uuex-
pected return of General Grant from his Western
tour and its relation to the political canvass.
From all I can gntheramong those bestacquainted
with the views Of the members -cf the. Republican
National Committee, it appears thatprivate letters
have been received from members of Grants
sp3arty, showing an anxiety ons the part of the
General 10 throw up the, candidacy for the Presi-
dency. To this he has been moved by overwhelm-
ing evidences from every quarter OF the utter
want of spirit in the Republican canvass, and the
tremendous popular tide running in favor OF the
Democratic ticket ..AH the letters received here,
both by the Congressional and National Republi-
can Committees are sorely discouraging to the
Radical leaders, nor are the letters from the South
less alarming. The blacks cannotbe controlled, and
all efforts on the partof csrpetbaggersto prevent
excuses have so far failed, and the Radicals see
that continuance of these riotous and incendiary
acts on the part of the colored population will add
hundreds of thousands to the Democratic vote in
the North. Hence the sudden stoppage.of Grants
Western trip, hence the rumors that he is about
to throw up the car a3-dacy, and the intimationa
thrown out in political circles that the Republican
National Convention will be called together again,
and rumors have it that the nomination will be
rendered to General Sherman. .,.iz $50
