"HADN'T TIME TO Fool WITH SoL- DIERs. ."-In 1864, private by the name of Moore, of Indianapolis, Indiana, chen serving in the army of the Potomac, ob- tained leave of absence and transportation home to attend the funeaal of his child. In Washington he was robbed of his transportation papers, and not having time to return to his regiment to secure others, he called upon Schuyler Colfax, then member of Congress from tha. State, requesting him to lend him money enough to pay his way out, offering him as secur- ity, gold watch worth three times the amount of money he needed. The would- be Vice. President looked at him awhile as if wondering what right poor private had to call upon him, then turning to the paper he was reading, simply remarked: "I have no time to fool with soldiers"
 And this was all-all that the loyal Congressman, now mongrel candidate for Vice President, had to say in response to the request of the private soldier, who was trying to get home to see for the last time dear dead child. "No time to fool with soldiers" Not even civil word, not sympathetic look, not even common res pect for the bereaved father Perhaps now, when he wants the votes of the brave men who stood the Brunt of the battle, he will have little "time to fool with sol diers"

What we Have Learned and
 What we Have Forgotten.

What we Have Forgotten. The Radical press seem to be especially delighted in the assertion that the Democ- racy have neither learned or forgotten anything. If thereby they mean to say and they cannot mean anything else-that we have not forgotten a single point of their own infamous policy, Hnd that we have learned nothing of their still more infamous practices, they are perfectly right. What they want us to forget, we, on the contrary, expect to remember until we have driven them from all their posi- tions; and what they want us to learn should be forever stricken out of the memory of the American people, if we could obliterate it. The American peo- pie will never forget their despotic rule We will repeat it to the day of their judgment, that the Republican party tried to destroy all the liberties of the people; that it instituted military courts in times of peace; invented the most degrading test oaths; inaugurated arbitrary trials and the meanest system of espoinage; that they made the millions labor exclusively to support class of the corruptest politi- cal gamblers that ever degraded any na- tion, and that they crowned their infamy by superceding civilization, and placing barbarous race over those States that gave the greatest patriots and statesmen to our common country.
 We certainly do not think of forgetting particle of the whole registers of their crimes. Neither will we learn how to gag the press; how to imprison innocent men merely for the difference of opinion, or how to disregard the least of all their rights appertaining lawfully to every citi- sen of the United States.--Missouri Re publican.

Grant Anxious to be a Dictator.

A prominent officer of the Union army, while driving with friend few days since, took occasion to cslegize sonc of the characteristics of Grant, declaring that the American people did not understand him. "I saw" said this officer "a great deal of him during the war, and know all his strong and weak points," "But," asked one of the party, "do you think he is the right man to elect President of the United States2" To this the Union off, cer replied: "That depends upon circum- stances. If the people desire military rule, Grant should be elected; tor, from my knowledge of the man, will stake my reputation on the prediction that if he is elected he will proclaim himself Dicta- tor twelve months after he is sworn into ofice." This is the opinion of Union soldier who held close personal relations with Grant during the greater portion of the late war.-N. Y. World.

 FOR 1e6 Q, DIES ARC CITIZEN l
 ESTABLISHED IN 1854.
 THE PRESIDENTIAL YEARl NOW IS THE TINE TO SUBSCRIBE l
 Great Inducements to MAKE UP CLUBS. Best Family Paper in Arkansas. 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 NHweFAFHR. 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. A 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 Q 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- vious 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.
 Read the following club rates, which are lower than those of any other weekly west of the Mississippi river:
 TERMs-cAsH IN ADVANCE. Single copy one yesr. 2 20 20 Ten comics ....... 20 O0 Twenty copies ........... 3O O (And one to getter up of club)

business in Q lava during the past week has
been much of AN improvement over previous
weel,s--in fact quite active. The farmers have
been getting their coveted one dollar per bushel
for their cora and are all inclined to sell at this
figure and have been marketing all of it they
could. We are informed by the banks that they
have paid ont something over one hundred thou
sand dollars for Germ during the past seven days;
and we can't help but think that this amount OF
money in the hands of our farmers will put them
in condition to pay their debts, and that the
money will gradually get back to Ottawa ana
make business more lively still hero and money
