pations at tho South.' How warlikei
 How bloody in its breathings is this
 expression! How Butler will fight
 when the law compcIs him to yield up
 spoons, watches, &c., to their rightful
 owners. How Grant will array his division in battle array when the law demands that the horse he rides, per haps, be restored to the stable from whence he came. We can not think for moment that any man in the south will say that the usurpations of property by Grant, by Butler, and the minions of the armies that invaded the south was right; and if wrong, justice demands that the wrong shall be right ed; and who more than the President shall have power to do these things 7 This is the extent of Gen. Blair's mean ing, when he says the army shall undo its usurpations at the south. Again, we say we want no war; we do not believe it is possible that another war can come upon the issues that divide our country to-day. But we do say that whoever the next President is, fl he fails to pursue the policy laid down by Gen. Blair, he will be false to his country, false to his oath, and false to his God. 7,e

\ Good Time Coming

From all quarters of the globe the good news of an abundant harvest of everything that is good and useful 10 the human race, comes by telegrah and
 mail. The cotton crop of the South will approximate nearly three million bales which will sell at about 20 cents per pound, and there is a great plenty of fruit and vegetables. Indeed the bountifnl hand of providence has not been withheld from any portion of our country. An kinds of fruit and grain, in garden, ticld and vineyard will bless the efforts of the husbandman once more. The South almost exhausted from devastation and drouth is revived again amidst the plentiful product of her carcfully-tilic lands, while the crops in the West and in the North, everywhere, are unusually good. The prospects of good harvest in Great Britau are unusually fattering. The vineyards of France are laden with choice grapes, which are ripening ear Her than usual. The golden grain and purple fruits Of Germany and Italy are unusually fine and abundant. In fact, from all parts of the globe comes the same happy evidence of the good time coming
 The well filled gamers throughout the land will give impulse to trade, and the most fortunate results may be anticipated. Such blessings following famine in many parts of the country, and discouragements from various causes throughout the whole land, will infuse fresh hope and energy. When the products of the South are thrown upon the market business will receive new impetus; merchants will doff their long faces, and their countenances will again assume the happy and cheer full expression which they wore in the quiet ssand happy times of peace and plenty.
 We cannot hope that in single year of plenty business will revive to it's former health and strength, but it will have a salutary and healthful effect upon the condition of affairs generally, and when the crops of another year come in and when the condition of the finances of our country becomes more settled, of which there is great hope within the next twelve months-as the of Seymour is almosts certain ty--then we may look for the return of and our land will be abun- dantly blessed.-[L Louisville Courier.

1ag- The pink-eyed carpet-bagger who does the scribblng for the Devall's Bluff pop-gun, otherwise known as the White River Journal, has, by following the bent of his Yankee nature, prying into the private business of others, dis cerned that our salary is so limited that it is matter of astohishmeni that we should live upon it; and because we took him to task for lodging ill q truly Yankee manner the defense of a principle laid down by his party, he finds sufficient excuse for dropping the issue and cnligAtening his readers upon the financial status of those who accuse him. Which of the C. B'e it was that penned that tad-pole article we are at loss to determine; for when we look and see what total lack of brains there is in it we almost con- clude twas one, and judging from the Yankee impndence that characterizcs the article we conclude twas the other :; but, be it one or the other we advise them to go slow on the line they have started to pursue. If it is their inten- ton to publish Republican paper in Arkansas, let it be Republican as this terra is understood in our State. If they as they express themselves to be pig oa the Radical platform for national government, and big pig upon the partizan bills passed by the late legislature-legal advertising and all-- in the name of common decency we protest against their being pup on this carrier bill. Their position may be as they say, Straight out Republican of this we have no doubt, for we have al- ways understood that the main plank in the platform of their party was the loaTes and fishes, and if they find loayes and fishes in advocating the extreme measures of the party, why of course it is orthodox Radicalism to do it. But this carrier bill, you see, might prove unpopular, and as there's no money in it, why its straight out Republican doctrine to oppose it. Pig or pup it makes no difference, whichever it pays to be, that's me, says the honest Re- publican editor(?) But to waste as little space as possible upon this beau tiful brace of editors, "so-called,' and as their readers may be enlightened upon the charges made against us we say our salary is small, very small but thanks to our prudence we have never been driven to the necessity of advoca- ting political doctrines or seeking place at the hands of party for the sake of the dollars thereby to be ob- taiped; and as "thick headed" as we confess ourselves to be we have man. aged always in our travels to see the way from the deck of a steamboat to the shore.

Brutal Murder.

On Friday last, negro named James Warner went to the residence of C.. Strange, and told Mrs. Strange that her husband was ill and desired her 10 come to him. Mir. Strange often stays at his brick-kiln, at Fourche bridge, his residence being near the southwest corner of the arsenal grounds, distant about one mile. The negro told Mrs. Strange that the Major-hcr husband- desired her to bring the ''blue box" The box referred to contained, as near as can be ascertained, about one hun dred and fifty dollars. As guileless as d child, Mrs. Strange left her residence with the negro, box in hand, little dreaming of the desperate struggle awaiting her.
 On Saturday morning she was found, dead in by-road leading from her residence to her husbands place of business, her head horribly cut in sey- eral places, and pools of blood about her. It appears that this negro (War- ner) had been in her husbands employ had been discharged the day previous, and had been sent to Mrs. Strange for the balance due him, which she paid out of the box referred to. Some trouble seems to have occurred be- tween Maj Strange and the negro, but it was afterwards settled, and the ne- gro agreed to go to work again. The difficulty and settlement occurred on Thursday evening. At eight o'clock, or a little after, of the same day, he called for Mrs. Strange as stated, and the two left the house together, Mrs. Strange's little girl, about nine years of age being present when they started. The night was pleasant and bright from full moon. The place selected for the murdcrous deed is about a half mile west of the Starbuck place, south of the city limits, and half mile or more distant from any residence. From the appearance of the corpse, the deceased must have been choked until she was nearly senseless, after which her head was cut fearfully in the left temple in two places through the skull, over the left eye through tho eye ball and in the back of the head. Mrs. Strange was large muscular woman and the struggle was doubtless long and desperate. The box containing the money was torn in pieces thus showing the cause of the monstrous decd. We learn that the negro War ncr was arrested on Saturday by officer Vance.
 Major Strange was an officer in the United States service, of the grade in- dicated by his title, and stands high in this community. He was educated at Coblentz, on the Rhine, and is an en- gineer of merit, His late wife was lady of culture, and the desperate deed has created deep sensation in our R. Gazette, 2d inst
