saL The "unreconstructed" rebels Of
Arkansas have been making sad havoc
with the new Constitution in that State.
In defiance of the great benefits destined
for them BY the "God and morality par.
ty," they bad the b.azen impudence to
throw away the priceless ~treasurs by q
majority Of over fifteen thousand. The
people Of that beuighted region are truly
walking in the path of darkness and
tribulatiou despite the brilliant lumina-
ries Of carpet-bsggery and radicalism
which were hung up for the express pur-
pose Of shedding light upon those refrsc-
tory subjects. The Arkansas folk should
be paternally remons. rated with, 40 they
should !

~ We visited the Baton Rouge mar
ket on Thursday morning, and wer.
greatly pleased with the fine display Of
poor meats, Indifferent vegetables and
less fish. The coffee stands presented
their usual attractions, around which
we're gathered throngs of worshippers
who bad either treated somebody or were
waiting for somebody to treat tbem.--
Taking the visit altogether, it was one Of
rare interest combined with q vast
amount OF uuslloyed pleasure at seeing
actually nothing. Why it is that q city
like Baton Rouge cannot afford the best
meats in the State, is something we do
not understand. when pasturage is 90
cheap and stock raising 90 profitable.

Mr.. MuLLALLY's LEcrURE.-A large All
dience attended the lecture of this gen.
tleman at Pixies Hall on Wednesday
night. The subject wasF the political
condition of the country He went into
its discussion with a yerfect knowledge
Of all its points and bearings. 1t showed
the corruptions of the Radical party in
all their ramifications, from turret to
foundation stone. His hits at the various
machines employed by the Radicals to
%perpetuate their power were excellent,
and nothing suffered more at his hands
than the Freedmen's Bureau Mr.. NJ.
predicts the complete success Of the
Democratic party 10 the approaching
Presidential election, and ~solicits the co.
operation of the Southern people so far
as it can be extended. He bases his
opinions upon facts and figures, which
are said never lie, and to an ordinary
observer. they appear reasonable, what.
ever white niggers" may think to the
contrary. He stated that the masses of
the Northern people we're fully aroused
to the Importance of their position, hav-
ing had the scales removed from their
eyes by the r ekless and despotic acts Of
the dominant party. Reason had been a
long time coming, but it came at last,
and with it, the result of the late North
ern Democratic victories. The Demo
cratic party was determined to have the
South fully canvsssed andsthe true con-
dition Of things reported to their North
ern friends. They were determined to
expose the rascality and trickery by
which Radicalism p%erpetuates its power
in all parts of country, so that the people
shall be fully enlightened thereon at the
approaching general election. There was
much humor displayed throughout his
remarks which was highly relished by
the audience. Space refuses other re-
marks upon this able address, suffice it to
say, it is the first white mans speech we
have heard since the war closed.

few men equalled him for strict probity
and integrity of character. When the
wal broke out be was engaged in farming,
al occupation in which he greatly de.
lighted, but the call to arms summoned
him from home and family to share the
tolls and dangers incidental to q soldiers
life. He performed his part we'll and
nobly in that great struggle as his com
rades in arms amply testify. During the
memorable siege Of Port Hudson, he
behaved ~gsllantly, enduring manfully all
the hardships that befel that heroic little
band that so long defed the efforts Of the
foe, and it was with q sigh, and not q
murmur, that he surrendered his sword at
the fall of that post, and took his place
on the steamer that was to convey him
to Johnson's Island, where be remained q
prisoner until the close Of the war. The
Firemeu and Odd Fellows of that city
bore bis remains to their last home-in
which sad rites they were assisted by
many friends to whom early and later
associations had endeared the warmest
sympathy and brotberly love Of the de-
ceased. To his bereaved family, the sin.

dered with the hope that their affection
may be tempered with the consultations
