note of battle. 1t is Northern copper

said thousands and tens of thousands of
Northern Democrats would rally to the
support of the South in the last rebellion

FREE AND EQUAL ARKANSAS.

Arkansas is so-called free and equal State
of the Union. She has model Constitution,
inspired by the highest fight of the radical
genius, by the Hottest reach of the radical
soul, by the sincerest gush of the radical
heart. According to this masterpiece of radi-
cal craftsmanship, no person in the State. un-
less he can successfully undergo the ordeal
of the proscriptive test oath required of
voters, is permitted to engage in the practices
of law or medicine /; to teach school; to preach
the Gospel to act as captain, pilot, mate or
engineer on a steamboat to run a ferry
boat; to keep toll bridge; to keep restau-
rant, drinking or billiard saloon: to act
as auchoneer I; to be a merchant to carry
arms; to keep stallion. And whoever may
violate any of these requirements is held to
be guilty of felony, and is punishable by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for not less
than two, and as many as ten years.
The New York Times, which affects to be
Mortified when Democrats threaten to put an
end to the monstrous follies and iniauities
OF accomplished reconstruction, placidly
remarks:
NOW mat Arkansas is reconstructed let us
hope that the legislature will do something for
the relief OF lawyers, preachers, teachers, doc.
tors, ierrymen, auctiOneers, ed itors keepers OF
saloons and stations, all Of whom are now bv
law prevented from exercising their occup atoms
except they have taken the strict oath prescribed
Tor electors In the Constitution. Why preacher.
CT pilot, or physician, for example not to

should be debarred from plying his vocation,
under peLtentary penalty of from two 10 ten
years, without be previously subscribes TO an
oath OF fealty and allegiance. we can hardly COM
prehend We trust it will soon be safe, at all
events, TO let down the bars.
The fact is that all the radical editors and
politicians in the North know that these
things are equally disgraceful and absurd.
Like the Roman augurs, while publicly de-
Tending the results of reconstruction, they
cannot look in each others faces without
laughing at their own impudence and
mendacity

THE CELEBRATION TONIGHT.

Never, since New Orleans has been a city,
has such enthusiasm been exhibited in any
cause as is now exhibited in the cause OF
Seymour and Blair. The entire population
Is ablaze with fervor for the success of those
great champions of the national Democracy
and Of the cause of the oppressed and suffer-
ing people throughout the length and breadth
of this mighty Union. Every good con-
sentative, every true lover Of justice,
has set his heart and soul in the good
work. The ladies, God bless them are
even in advance of the men on the glori-
GUS occasion. They have been busy for the
last three days in making their preparations
for grand illumination, and for gorgeous
decoration of their dwellings,. All along the
route marked out for the procession, the pub
lie edifces and private houses, with few ex-
ceptions, will be brilliantly lighted.
Such gathering of the solid, earnest
steadfast Democracy Gin cubic phalanx firm
advanced, so hopeful and determined, will
fill the breasts of our opponents with despair,
and raise the spirits of our coadjutators in the
North, East and West, to the climax or rejoic-
ing and encouragement
Let every man who has the good of his coun-
try at heart; who wishes to see rapacity
oppression, venalty and tyranny crushed, and
a free government, impartial towards all its
citizens kind and lenient in all its ramifca-
tons restored-let every such man be found
il time ssf 60 Gh6 it to Lafayette ct square
Citizens of New Orleans, both old and
young if you are sincere in your desire to
have an end put to the atroeious aud un-
natural despotism which has strengthened
since Buffers infamous reign until it has at
tanned its present gigantic growth, show
yourselves at your ward clubs this evening.
and remain with them until the great meeting
and the procession shall have been dismissed.
The day of regeneration is near at hand
let us all unite heartily to welcome its fore
runner, the ratification celebration OF this
evening.

mo POLITICIAN"
country.

In the highest sense of the term, Horatio
Seymour is politician. In other words, he
is profoundly versed in the political history
of the past and in the political questions
and exigencies of the present. The radicals
try to depreciate him in popular estimation
by stlgmatlzing him as a mere politician.
The Democrats may accept the stigma as an
honor. Aye, he is every inch politician
an educated, thoughtful, earnest patriot, who
knows the political history and condition of
the country so well that no one in it is better
fitted to act the supreme part of wise, skill
full and saving craftsmanship. The radicals,
on the other hand, pretend to exult in the fact
that Grant is confessedly "no politician" and
utterly ignorant of political history and the
teachingsof the great statesmen of the past.
Yet this is the man who they insist is of all
men the best qualified to restore the countrv
to political health. What would be thought
of calling on a man who confessed that
he knew nothing about medicine to
cure desperate case of sickness
What would be thought by Gen. Grant
himself of placing at the head of an army,
in the face of appalling danger, man
utterly ignorant of military affairs, who had
never read of warlike operations, or seen a
camp? Neither of these proceedings would
be more preposterous than to expect man
who is ''no politician to relieve the coun-
try from its political troubles and perils.
As if the State were not already sufficiently
misrepresented, a gerrymandering bill has
been introduced into the House so as TO
cancel local majorities and prevent the State
or any part oft from having hereafter con-
servative representative in Congress. The
legislature might as well choose congress-
men for the various districts as to pass such
bill. But of course they will pass it.

A CUTTLEFIsH.

We learn from the Louisiana Democrat that
Commissioner Shannon has sent up deputy
marshal, with several assistants, to Alex
andria, with little writ of scum fetcbua,, a"
for MIR. Wilmington, justice of the peace in
that town. 1t is strange that those who have
suffered from the wanton and absolutely out
rageous arrests of this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. who
have been torn at midnight from their homes
In remote parishes, without an hours prepa-
ration, and brought down to New Orleans bv
Shannon's order, to answer frivolous charges,
have not scrutinized his powers to act so des-
politically, and inquired whether he is not re-
sponsible in damages either in his own per-
sonal means, or through his securities, if he
has ever furnished any. The charge against
Justice Wilmington is for false imprison-
ment, made, according to the Democrat, by a
person of little repute, one w. b. Phillips.
This Commissioner Shannon throws into
the shade the terrible marine monster de-
scribed by Victor Hugo in his "Tolers of
the Sea" This polypus of commissioner
stretches his arms into every nook and GRANNY
Of the State, at the bidding of passing
scalawag on vengeful negro, and is as rernorse-
less and Implying as the disgusting animal of
the sea, in tearing his prey away from home
and liberty.
Why are there not United States commits
sioners in the various country parishes, in
stead of having them all agglomerated in New
Orleans, each one empowered to arrest and
tear from home any man or woman against
whom an irresponsible affidavit may be
patched up2 No official in the State, whether
civil or military, seems to have SO extensive
and absolute jurisdiction as Commissioner
shannon.
