organ may try to grease over the affair 10
make it pslatable, but it can never be
made to q down. 10 a word, we will be
frank enough to admit that we are most
heartily glad to think Of "those arms
as quietly reposiug in the unfathomab e
depths OF the Father of Waters. No one
was hurt in the transaction, and no one
will receive harm from their further use.
II is not that we fear the use TO which
these weapons might have been put;
every Radical in Arkansas, irrespective
of color, is armed to the teeth already.
II is the secret method Of conducting the
transaction, and the evident intent of the
parties concerned that will hand them
down to certain and lasting infsmy and
shame. The six year Senator, the cow
ardly Governor, the oily penileniisry
contractor, and the scampering captain
of the war ship Hesper, will henceforth
be remembered only to be exec ated. We
welcome like evidences of warlike inten-
tions to the capacious and hospitable
Mississippi, and while the people of Ar
kansas are peaceful and wel-disposed, we
shat. never pause to inquire for those
who may have been instrumental in per-
forming so laudable an act. Little Rock

ders; If he whips his unoffending wife
three specially hideous oHfenses); then
he is O wickeder man than the man who
don't steal, who don't murder, and who
treats his wife as she deserves.
1t has never been claimed, / believe,
that John Allen was guilty Of any Of
these offeRses; but there are hosts OF
men in New York who are and they are
wickeder men than he was, according to
the evidence.
John Aliens great wickedness, it
seems, lay in the fact that he had been
to Sunday School in his childhood and
had some traces of goodness left in him
as results of that training

The mans face is strong contrast to
that of the ordinary brutal, low-life rough.

into his rat pit. Mr.. Burns was more
excruciatingly polite to me than John
Allen was, but his face was most re-
pulsive one, and / couldn't make up my
mind to stay where he was after l had
looked at it.
Aliens face is more like Beecher' 8
than it is like Burns. He could take
his seat in Mr.. Beecher's congregation
without looking at all out of place.
Kit Burns could not.
Neither could the ordinary inhabitant
of the John Allen country.
John Allen is more weak than wicked.
He is not converted, evidently.
His great trouble row is that he likes
to drink fiery beverages.
SO do good many other men who are
not so bad as some men l know who
never drink.

liant success for dozen years or more.

give up the practice.
But to say that he is unfeeliing, is to
say false

1t don't look right, this abuse of good

still likes his gin and uater.

the labors in this feld2
1t used to be fashionable to talk about
Borriobools Cha, and to say " Charity
begins at home."
Well, here are the missionaries now,
working at home.
The least we can do is to leave them
alone. They won't do as much harm in
Allea's old dance house, or Burns dog
pit, as the old style of inhabitants did.

very little good grant that it is glow

Infamous.

The arms purchased at the Govern
ment arsenal at Detroit, or otherwise OBJ
tanned, by Hodges, Mcdonald, Bennett,
Rice & Co, were shipped from Memphis
on Thursday, say our dispatches, on the
steamer Hesper, Capt. Sam. Houston,
but. met with an accident quite unex-
pected. A tug boat put out very soon
after the departure of the Hesper, and,
overhauling her about twenty-five miles
below at a woodward, the one hundred
and sixty peace boxes of approved mus
kets we're opened and consigned to the
Mississippi river. All good citizens
deprecate acts Of violence. But the
violence in this case is so fully over
shadowed by the more violent act oi
bringing the arms 10 question into Ar
kansas just at this particular time, that
the manner of their loss fails to awaken
regrets. Indeed, the public are so highly
cratified at the result that no questions
are ssked; all inquirers being fully sat
isfied with the assurance that the mus
kets we're actually put into the river as
represented, and that they we're heavy
enough to sink to the bottom. The Oh
iect Of these warlike preparations is so
pstent that a candid consideration Of the
.matter is unnecessary. The character
of the men who are controlling the Rsdi-
cal faction in Arkansas is so atrocious,
aud the means made use Of By them to
secure success so monstrous, that law
less act in thwarting their designs on a
peaceful people finds tscit excuse in
every mind. or course men have their
rights. They msy individually own what
they can pay for. and keep whatever they

Not Panic-stricken.

Three rich men of Gotham announce
that they are not "panic' stricken. in
their Telegram to their Democratic
friends in Washington City. We have
not the least suspicion that they are.
They know a great deal more about their
own feelings and motives than anybody
else. But we never gave them credit Tor
excess of zeal in behalf of the national
Democratic ticket from the day 1t was
put forth. They are wholly selfish, and
have their inside view of things. and
stocks and gold, ETC., which they do not
permit their exterior manifestations to
betray.
If reports be true, the Democratic
leaders in New York have for several
weeks despaired of the election of their
national ticket, and would have been
wi ling to a compromise which would
have saved their State ticket. This, it is
believed, is all they have hoped 10 do for
long time. With respect to the national
ticket, we may infer that they meant to
make no further effort than might be ne
cessary to secure the election OF their
State nominees. But it may well be
doubted whether, under the disasters OF
the Tuesdays elections, with the add.
tional and far more serious disaster OF
the proposition to abandon the national
ticket, they can save even New York. If
that State is lost the result will be due,
no doubt, in q great degree to the want
of faith among the New York leaders.
The world knows little of the ways Of
New York millionaire partisans Indi-
vidual wealth has grown to such mon
strous proportions there that questions of
public interest and even honor are su-
bordinated to it. At the present time we
may rest assured that there has been
considerable "speculation" for an easy
fall or a large profit out Of the Presiden-
tial game" "Panic" indeed There
is more panic among New York million
aires over a rise or fall of one half per
cent. in gold than could be over sny
turn in Presidential election.-Rich-

The AsHBURN PRISoNERs-G f RAJ.
MEADE.-It is another proof of the unfit
ness of merely military men to fill offices
that General MEADE has had the effrontery
10 say that all military trials pending when
a State is admitted into the Union should
be finished by the military. He evidently
has no true ideas as to the nature of free
institutions.
This remark of General MEADE's was
made with reference to the persons charged
with the murder OF Mr.. AsHBURS, Of
Georgia. According to the National Intel,
hqencer, General MEADE's own report ad-
mits the cruel and inhuman treatment OF
the prisoners by his soldiers, and that the
witnesses for the prosecution were subject
ed to tortures of all kinds to make up q
case against the accused. And this inhu-
man and barbarous mode of trying persons
General MEADE desires to continue even
after the State has nominally been received
into the Union and passed out Of the hands
of the military.

Fire at the Petersburg Iron Works-ETort
to haze the Police Untormed-Tribate to
DR.. Duncan by the Ladies of his Congre-
QatiOn.
PETERSBURG. September 10. 1855

PETERSBURG, September 10, 1868.
A rather destructive fire broke out last
night, or more properly this morning, about
half-past l o'clock, at the Petersburg Iron
Works. This is large joint stock estab-
lishment, situated on Old street, and be-
tween that and the river. The fire had
made considerable progress before it was
discovered, and the consequence was that
the foundry department was entirely con-
sumed. Fortunately most of the patterns
had been removed to another building short
time since, or else the loss would have been
much more serious. As it is, it is estimated
at between two and three thousand dollars,
very slightly if at all covered by insurance.
Whether the fire was accidental or the work
of an incendiary has not yet been definitely
ascertained. The superintendent, Mr.. Dunn,
informs me that he has made arrangements
for resuming operations in few days. So
that the general work will not be seriously
interrupted.
During the progress Of the fire as many
as seven shells one after another exploded,
causing much alarm among the fremen and
spectators, but no one was injured. These
shells were brought in after the war as old
iron, and thrown aside for use when need

The Howard Amendment.

"we hope our contemporary Of the Rich
snond Dispatch does not intend to recognize
the Howard amendment as constitutional
authority when it quotes it in support Of
the action Of the Georgia Legislature in ex-
pelling the negro members. "-Lynchbalrg
Republican.
AS against the Radicals, the HowARr
amendment is constitutional authority
They are estopped from denying its va,
lidity. They declare that it is a part Of
the Constitution, and we show that if Sc
the Constitution comedies to each State the
right to deprive negroes of the right of suf'
frage, and We argue thence that each State
must have the right to exclude them from
Office. We cannot, by our protests, nor by
our refusal to acknowledge that the How
ARD amendment is " constitutional autho-
rity," alter stubborn facts any more than
by taking thought we can add cubit to
our stature" That amendment is as truly
part of the Constitution az Alabama Is
State in the Union. II is recognized as
such by the executive, the legislative, and
the judicial departments of the Govern
ment-by Mr.. JOHNSON, by Chief Justice
CHASE, aud by Congress. Why should we
refuse to avail ourselves Of any benefit that
we can derive from it
We do not copcede that Congress had the
right to make the negroes OF Virginia
voters; yet they vote. And our friend the
senior editor of the Republican, although a
candidate for seat IN the very Congress
which committed this great wrong upon our
people, has recognized the act which made
them voters 10 be the law of the land by
addressing to these unconstitutional voters
number of letters containing much good
advice. We see no improperly and no in
consistency with his well-known opinions
in this conduct; yet We are sure that We
could with as much reason in his case as
ne in ours inquire whether he intends to
recognize the constitutional authority" OF
the reconstruction measures.
We do not propose to shut our eyes to
Gacts. Whatever is, is; and we can accom-
p!iSh nc good purpose by denying its exist
eDce. At present negroes are voters in
Virginia. At present the HOWARD amend
mcnt is part of the Federal Constitution
We shall so far acknowledge the "consti-
tutional authority" of the reconstruction
measures as to induce all the darkies We
can influence in any way to vote for our
friend GLASS for Congress. And We shall
so far acknowledge the constitutional
authority" of the HOWARD amendment at
10 avail ourselves of all the benefits tina,
We can derive from it. Perhaps the day
may come-though wecan perceive no sign
Of its dawn-when we shall have an oppor-
tuuity to aid in righting these wrongs and
we trust that we need not assure the editors
of the Republican that we shall be as happy
to see that day rs either themselves or
any other man."

GREELEY's HTPOcRIsY .-GREELEY groans
whenever any southern man proposes to
employ only such negroes as vote the Demo-
cratic or Conservative ticket; but not a
word says he when Radical employers play
at the same game. In Maine, says cor
respondent Of the Herald, hundreds in
Lewiston, Auburn, Little Falls, and other
"towns, would gladly vote the Conservative
"ticket were they permitted to do so; but
" as it has been customary in the past to
" dispense with the services of those who
$50 vote, they are afraid to 60 to the polls
"except to vote the ticket of their superin-
"tendents, lest they should be thrown out
"of employment, and their families
"suffer."
Has GREELEY no "red-hot " adjectiyes
for these Radical hoSteS humani generiS who
thus degrade men, and make them unwill'
ing instruments in the oppression of the
people of the South (:
