In Memoriam.

Again we are called upon to per form the sad duty of announcing the death of one who, if not alto- gether lovely, was chief among a fraction of a thousand spirits who
 are not yet made perfect. We re.

 Considering his mixed parentage)
 we should say half-soled, copper colored gentleman, who recently died peacefully, and in pieces, in his little lava bed. Jack did not
 wrap what little drapery he had about him and lie down to pleas ant dreams, and his demise was hastened by a seventeen-inch shell that entered and exploded in his diaphram, running diges- tive apparatus that had never been disturbed by banquets of roast dog, salt horse, washed down by copious draughts of fiery un- tanned benzine, and needle-gun whisky. AS we recall the virtues of the deceased, our pen uncOn- sciously drifts into the Philadel- phia Ledger form of mourning, and we are led to exclaim- Oh, Shack Nasty thou hast left US,
 No more horses wilt thou steal; But twas Gillem that bereft us.
 He can all our sorrows heal.

He had served his tribe as tax collector, president of base ball club, and was about organizing a "Young Red Mems Horse Plagiarizing Association" when he felt sensation of goneness at the pit of his stomach, and was gone. Pos sessing many of the virtues that the Credit MOblier opera tors, Shack Nasty was also as generous as the increased salary of voters, who only drew their back salary to pay off the public debt, and the news of his sudden death will cause a thrill of ofanguish in many bosOms-anguish that he was not permitted to die slow er,and by inches.-OaktGnd Torclt- Light.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June 3d, '73.

The organization which was formed some three years ago in Washington, for the purpose Of securing Grants renomination for a second term, has already had one or two informal meetings for the purpose of determining upon comprehensive plan for gradu- ally familiarizing the masses of the republican party with the fol- lowing ideas: First, that there IS nothing dreadful per SC, in a pres ident Serving three terms next, that if the country has a good president, it would be foolish to set him aside for no better reason than that somebody else wanted the position and lastly, as the time for the nominating conven- tion approaches, that domestic tranquility at the South and the integrity of the Union can be as- sured only by continuing Grant in the presidential chair for 8 third term.
 THE PRESS IS TO BE USED
 exclusively for the dissemination of these ideas; and it has been determined that after a while, only avowed third term men shall be appointed to vacancies in the civil service, and that the tenure of office of every man, from the cabinet-officer to the night watch man of a custom-hOuse, shall de- pend upon his openly expressed views favOring third term. Pre- parations are being made for a desperate struggle for political and financial power as any that history has recorded. Not only the administration Office-hOlders, but the carpet-bag governments of the Southern States, the Ma tional Bank men and bOndhOld- CTS, the railroad land-grabbers, the salary-grabbers, the credit mob- Tier swindlers, the wealthy man. ufacturers, the men with fraudu- lent claims who divide with the officials that put theirjobs through all these men have too good a thing to give up without fearful and expensive contest.
 PRoPOsEDI INCREASE OF THE CIVIL
 SERVICE ARMY.
 The seed sown by the Bureau of Internal Revenue in the sew eral States produced such rich crops of administration votes last autumn, that the third term men have determined to create, if possible, few more bureaus and to reconstruct others, 80 as to necessitate vast addition to the already large army of federal office-holders. With that end in view, every preparation IS be- irg made that human ingenuity can devise to place before the 43d Congress and the people, in a favorable light, a bill to authorize the

GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE THE
TELEGRAPH LINES

l pr0nlDlt the 1uJur0 cOHStrucVlOL of private lines, even by State | authority-in short, to place tele. graphic communication on the : same footing, in every respect, as the present postal service. The agents, superintendents, operators and other employees in govern ment telegraph offices, all over the Union, would be quite ser viceable during a presidential campaign.
 Another measure of the third term men will be the creation of
 A BUREAU OF PUBLIC HEALTH, which shall see that the post-of- fees, custom-houses, court-rooms and other buildings belonging to the government are constructed on hygienic principles, and that the employees are all vaccinated and keep their bowels open. In a similar bill that was introduced to the Senate, last winter, as a feeler, several other duties were assigned to this bureau; but I have not the bill at hand, and forget what they were. I do remember, though, that the way was left open for the future creation of several brigades of Ofce-holders in each State.
 It is also in the programme to endeavor to pass Hoar's "Bill for the Establishment of a National System of Education" so amend ed that it will give
 MORE POWER AND PATRONAGE TO
 THE BUREAU OF EDUCATION in most of the Southern States. HOar, who is an honest, straight forward man, and by far the ablest member of the Massachusetts dele- gation, tried hard to get his bill favorably considered by the 41st and 42d Congresses, and will be indignant at any attempt by pro- fessed political friends to mangle it for personal or party purposes ; but if the third term men, most of whom have hitherto opposed or dodged it, find that they can trade it through, amended to suit them, they will care little for his wishes in regart to it.
 A NATIONAL QUARANTINE sYs.
 ITEM,
 is another contemplated measure of the third term men for swell ing the number of federal officials. At present, each State enacts its own quarantine laws. It will be readily perceived that the number of health officers and other employees necessary to en- force these laws in. the several seabnard cities of the Union is col lectively, very large, and would add much to the numerical strength of the administration that appointed them.
 I nave endeavOred to outline the programme of the third term nen, and to help to defeat it by making it known thus early. The obstacles they will have to en- counter, and their chances of suc- cess, I shall reserve fer another

fact that McVeigh accepted the

Sir: In your article against tho
Reverend Leroy Jackson, publish
cd in the Osceola Times Of IL recent
date, thcro arc certain passages
where you refer to the sentiment
in which Mr.. Jackson is held by
the church which demand our at
tention.
Your assertion that he IL not
held in high estimation is wholly
and entirely false, for We esteem
him m . man and honor him as Il
minister, even as tho Scriptures
say, "honor him that hath charge
ofyou."
AS to the report from Upton
county, VIC will state that from our
own observation Elder Jackson is
most highly esteemed there. lie
was in Upton the fourth Sunday in
May, and those who wero with him
bear witness as to how highly he
was thought and spoken of, and he
was repeatedly urged TO return
there again.
We would thank you or any one
else who may wish to assail Elder
Jackson, to leave the Church out OF
your charges against him. You
may trump up accusations against
him politically as much as you
please, but you can never influence
the church against him, OF destroy
his influence and popularity with
good men and women.

State Convention.
STEAL "

That the present State Constitu-
tiOn, forced in defiance OF defeat
upon the people is most rascally
and wrctchcd affair, cannot be
doubted. When Brooks, Bowen &
Co. were putting up such job up
on us, they ought in common de-
cency, to have given us constitu-
ton that would not have been dis.
grace to the honor and intelligence
of the state. 1t is also true that We
ought to get rid of such constitu-
ton as soon as possible, and at the
proper time move in that direction
will moot our hearty support. How
ever, We want the Llttlo Rock Re
publican, Fort Smith Herald etc, to
distinctly understand, that the pco-
pie of Mississippi county do not
want a state convention called until
another Legislature has boon duly
elected and assembled. We have
the highest opinion Of the ability
of Gov. Baxter, and hence would be
slow to believe that he could be 30
weak as to rc-asscmblo tho present
legislature. True, there are many
vacancies to be filled, but with Bax-
ter as our Governor, we can afford
to wait, and we are certainly in no
condition to take any chances. We
feel confident that we will have q
state convention, and that too at no
distant day but while we have the
noble and heroic Baxter for Cover
nor, we can well endure the evils
of the present constitution until
both time and opportunity ooncurs
for our delivcrancc. Wo feel that
VIC but echo the sentiment of our On.
tire people when We declare that the
present Legislature ought not to be
assembled again on any pretense
whatever.
five could be Aattcrcd with the
hope that these lines would meet
the eyes of Gov. Baxter, VIC would
urge him, in the honest confidence
of political and personal friendship,
not TO be seduccd or cajolcd into
imperlling the prospects of our peo-
pies emancipation by convening
the Legislature. We would tell
him that the people of Arkansas
look up to him with feelings of love
and reverence, and are perfectly
willing to trust him until The next
regular election, under tho present
constitution. lie has il in his pow
er not only to deliver our people,
but to make himself immortal as
ono Of their trucst wisest and most
patriotic statesman. Lot ii be
his first care TO sec that at the next
election, the people have an oppor-
tunity to choose legislature that
truly and faithfully represents their
wishes and feelings, and such leg.
islaturc will give them a constitu.
tonal convention. In the mean
time we will checrfully endure the
evils of the present constitution
without complaint.
