RECONSTRUCTION IN ARKANsAs,


EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
During stay of six months in Chicot
county, Arkansas as agent of the freed
mems bureau and provost marshal for the
county, l was fired upon by the chivalry
three times, aud my Office, which was To-
Gated ia Lake village, the county seat,
attacked in the night by party of men,
numbering about twenty. These devils in
human shape knew l was alone in the
house, without protection, and as l was
Yankee tyrant, as they called me, wanted
to get me out of the way. The leader of
this gang was one Philip W. Gatewood,
editor of rebel organ called the Chicot
Press, who by the by, is now safely cared
fer in the military prison at Vicksburg.
There were eleven freedmen murdered,
seven Of whom were soldiers in the Union
army during the late war. One of my pre-
deeessors, Lieutenant Gersider, was driven
out Of the county by threats, his horse cut
to pieces, and he being shot in the arm.
Troops are now kept at the headquarters of
the provost marshal to secure him his life.

Emigration of Women to the Paciae
Coast.
The San Francisco Commercial BMletia
Of late date says:
For month past every steamer from the
East has brought unusually large numbers
ofwOmen. Over One-third of all the cabin
passengers have been of the female gender.
The matrimonial market of the PaciIi
coast, although not in the line of on
legitimate remarks, is becoming quite an
object of attention at the East. The war
consumed over 100000 men, and In some
states the excess of women over the sterner
sex is almost seven or eight to one. The
Pacific states and territories contain nearly
thirty times more men than women, and if
the right sort of the latter seek this market
in quiet way, the probabilities are greatly
in favor of changing their names soon after
their arrival. This would result in build
ing up thousands of homesteads, rendering
our populatian more stable and moral, in
creasing respect and obedience to the laws,
improving and unfolding our resources,
stifieniAg the market generally, and better
ing our condition in all other respects.

PROFIT ON Dlsr1LLED LIQUORS.

EDITOR REPuBLICAN--An article publish
ed in your very interesting paper on the
9th instant headed " needed reforms" and
another on the 9Th instant headed chow
they do it in New Orleans" taken from the
Philadelphia Bulletin of the Sd instant, con-
tanning an affidavit of Mr.. j. W. Elder, a
well-known distiller of New Orleans, sworn
10 before DR.. James Ready, the very eff
cient United States assessor of internal rev.
eRue, first district, New Orleans, Louisiana,
| ON the 14th day of December, 1867, verify
the position, as we believe, that high taxes
on manufactured articles and the produc-
tons Of the country, are demoral-
EiDg to the people, and obnoxious to
| the public veal. And the counteRance
that you have given to this matter
shows that your paper is doing all it
can consistently in favor Of enRcting laws
that shall not oppress the poor, and Of re-
pealing those that tempt to fraud, or to
their evasion, requiring detail of others
to watch those tempted, who in their posi-
| tiOns could not possibly have employment
were they to see that the law was executed
to the letter, as in distilling; for it is we'll
known that in New Orleans it costs one
dollar at least to make a gallon of rnm
from molasses; and yet the small distllers
have to sell to the larger ones, or to the
rectifers for from one dollar twenty cents
TO one dollar sixty cents per gallon. Where
then is the tax to come from for surely
the latter class can not afford to pay it when
they will sell you the same rum, alter they
rectify it, turn it TO what is called
neutral spirits. then to whisky we'll branded
for the reasonable price of one dollar and
ninety cents per gallon, and any price less
down to one dollar and fifty cents?
In order to prove the assertions herein
made, and in the two articles alluded TO, it
will be necessary to give the public a
tableau of the expenses of running small
still, making two hundred gallons every
twenty-four hours, together with the ad-
measurement of the same:

OCTOBER. October, the nut brown
maid in her dress of russell and green,
is here, loaded with gifts, which, as u.s.
ual, she distributes with lavish hand.
She is not proud not she, but visits
all alike ; the rich and the poor, the
queen on her throne and the beggar in
her garnet, all share her smiles and her
frown equally. and to each she has some
whispered word of special import. The
young maiden's cheek Gro WINS with rose
ate bushes the matron's face she
spreads with look OF busy anxiety.
To some she brings hope, to some Joy,
to some sorrow. To the proud and
hauty she brings the downfall of long
cherished dreams to the patient and
trusting the fruition of scarcely cher
ished hopes to all she brings a re-
minder of departing glories, and a
warming to prepare for the dark days
to come.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

Re annual Convention OF the Union
County Sunday School Association was
held yesterday at Runway.
The morning session was opened at
half-past ten o'clockin the First Baptist
Church. George z. vaques called the
convention to order. OF the devotional
services the Rev. d. Henry Miller. ID.
D., of Elizabeth, WAS elected President
and G. Il. jacques, Recording Secretary
The Rev. DIR, LIE Fevre, of Raritan,
delivered the opening address, 1t was
full of points illustrative of the good
common sense methods OF caring for tile
children. The County Secretary then
read his report which was most encour-
aging, and which presented the fact that
the interest i'll the Sunday School enter
prise was on the rise throughout the
county.
The Rev. DR.. Sheddan, at Railway,
then gave un address OF welcome to the
delegates.
The afternoon session was held at the
First Methodist Church. A very large
audience was convened, filling the en-
tire floor Of the spacious edifce The
Rev. J. S.. Chadwick, OF Tottenville
Staten Island, delivered the final adj
dress. 1t was to teachers, on the method
of teaching and the matter to be taught.
The Rev. DR.. Tiffany, of New Bruins
wick, gave the next speech, which wa
gem of its kind, and We greatly mis-
take if great good does not result from
the influence of the Scripture quotation
made by the Rev. Doctor. Following
this came ten or twelve three minute
speeches, which was participated in by
Stout, of New Brunswick, Peace, of this
city, Smith, of Brooklyn, Seigfried, of
Newark, Daily, of Somerset, and sew
eral others.
The next exercise was the opening of
the question box and the answering of
thirty questions. The answers We're by
Messrs. Stout and Seigfried. Then by
special request Mr.. Stout illustrated
the Blackboard exercise for the use of
Sunday school instruction. This was
like all that had preceded 1t complete
success.
The evening exercises were held at the
First Presbyterian Church. The house
was filled with the schools of the city,
and the delegates addresses were de-
livered by Rev. M. Howe and j. Hyatt
Smith, of Brooklyn. The singing of
the day and evening was most appro-
pirate Elizabeth churches, were largely
represented at the convention, and as
the Rev. Mr.. Read of this city remark
ed, it looked little like the Millennium
to see people of all names united in this
work. The convention was a complete
success.
