The crisis il over and affairs are pro-
crossing quietly in Arkansas. The ac-
ton of the President in recognizing Bax-
ter, procIaiming him as the lawful Gov
ernor. and the dispersion of Brooks and
his band az insurgents aud listurbers of
the peace, on the application Of the law
full Governor and The Legislature-has
been hailed with delight by the peaeeable,
well disposed people of the State.
Baxter (home Republican, was the
choice of the carpet-bag element and the
extreme Radical wing of the Republican
party, and after his election, Clayton,
Dorsey and the other leaders of that class
intrigued to run him for the advancement
of their corrupt schemes; and on his re-
fusal to become their tool, they plotted
for his overthrow through the agency OF
| judiciary composed Of the same materi-
al as themselves. Baxter says they
offered him large brides in money and
federal favor which they professed TO have
at their disposal. His integrity and up,
right conduct had won over to his support
the large class of conservative, law-abld'
ing citizens, who. valuing an honest adj
ministratiOn of their State government,
more than mere partizan advantage,
rallied around him. The President, not
withstsnding the opportunities of the
Clayton elan, recognized his authority,
cut the Gordian knot by issuing the afore
said proclamation, which Brooks and his
partizans have needed without standing
on the order Of doing SO. Alone Of the
Arkansas delegation, w. w. Wiltshire
a Northern man, threw his influence il
the scale of Baxter.
The Legislature is proceeding quietly
with its work, and has passed bill call
ing constitutional convention in July il
order to relieve the State by summary
method of the perplexities of the situation
If It's action isdiscreet, moderate and JUS
to all classes, The State will rapidly re
cover from the bad effects of misrule
! They now have ''Dame Fortune by the
forelock," and if she escape their grasI
the fault is theirs.

Items about Ihe Overflow.

/ From the Friar's Point - .lta.
Main street OF Friar's Point has beer
more lively this week than we have ever
seen it. The only communication is by
"A boat of some sort, and every variety OF
water crafts are visible at any time Of day.
The finest and costliest skiff and the most
rudely constructed bateau are seen along
side of logs, gunnels, dug-outs, troughs,
plank, and every variety Of primitive in
vention in water-craft.
STocK LOsT.-A good deal Of stock
has been lost by the overflow in this coun-
ty. Horses, mules, cows and hogs have
been caught out in the cane, and many
are supposed to be lost. Some Of our
citizens have been out searching for their
cows all week. A good many head were
brought in, and a number are reported
drowned. Cows were seen swimming
from one point 10 another, and could not
find any place to touch bottom, Their
situation was most distressing, and no as
sistance could be given them.
Who LOST HIS HoUsE?-Several
houses have fioated down the river past
this place during the week. One went
by on Monday, and on Wednesday morn
ing another hoated down in the same
channel. The occupants no doubt had
vacated the premises before their domicies
hove anchor and started on their voyage.

The Importance of this measure con-
sidered, we have deferred an expression
on the subject longer than has been our
habit in matters of public concern. Our
first opinion of its absolute injustice, i'm
practicability and inexpediency has riPen
ed into decided conviction. The law was
passed in haste, without due consideration.
A measure so unjust and absolutely pre-
mysterious could never have stood the test
OF calm aud patient investigation. The
law is wrong, and what is fundamentally
wrong, ought not to be put into practice.
Underlying the act is the assumption OF
the right Of interference with legitimate
private pursuit by the lawmaking pow
er and of destroying it for public advan-
tage. 1t will necessarily become
prominent topic in public elections in
our State until a final decision is rem
dered
The question of right is far-reaching
and involves consequences OF the gravest
magnitude. If the principle is conceded
to be lust In the case of liquor dealers
that GRADES are to be broken up for pub
! lie advantage. there is no limiting the
/ application of the rule. For example,
many people believe that the use OF to-
bacco is more detrimental than of spirit
nous liquors. May they not claim the
right to prohibit its sale on the same
ground? Others, that the gewgaws and
fancy trappings which are devised to adorn
the person, and are hung out invitlngly
before the eyes Of the public, are unmiti
gated evils, tending TO extravaganza and
sinful display Why may not the thun,
ders of the law-making power be invoked
against this traffic? And so on to the
end of the chapter Concede the princl
pie in the one case and its applicability
to all trades becomes a mere question o.
expediency.
We are friends of temperance; but We
would address ourselves to the judgment
and conscience of the people through
whatever agency might be deemed best
instead of embarking in system of arbi
trary and fallacious legislation in which
the whims of the multitude aud not right
and Justice are to be the guide.
If it is public policy to correct the aP
petites of people by crushing out the liz
uor business, let the Government strike
the evils at its foundation. Let it stop
the fountain at its source. Let it pro
hibit the manufacture of liquors; but in.
stead of doing so, it has become partner
in the traffic by making il the means OF
| large revenue to the Treasury.
Another consideration is not to be
overlooked. The revenue derived from
the retail business to the free school fund
of this State amounts to a large sum.
Can this revenue be spared from the fund?
viii it not impair the public school sys-
tenn Of the State if it is cut off? How is
the deficiency to be made up? There is
but one way, and that is by increased
taxation which no class of our people is
able to bear. This is what the so-called
Temperance law means, and this of itself
would constitute strong objection to the
measure with us.

Am Erroneous Impression Re
moved.

The selection Of Col Lamar, his
political antecedents considered, from
among ali the other Southern representa-
! tives, by the Massachusetts, delegation, to
participate in the Sumner ceremonies, re-
flutes the idea which time-servers, and
especially the fossil clan into whose nos
trils Andy johnson breathed short life,
have sought to propagate, that none but
| the truly loyal" before and during the
war are accepta bic to the people who have
controlled the Government since.
The truth is no Southern man except
Mr.. Stephens has been treated by the
public men and press of the North with
anything like the consideration that has
been shown to our Representatives otwith-
standing it was alleged before his election
as an objection to him that his political
course would detract from the influence
which his acknowledged talents would
otherwise command.
1t is evident that the policy of proscrib-
ing the true Southern men which john
proclaimed in his celebrated sentence that
treason must be made ordious and trait
ors punished" and which wasechoed by
the renegsdes to whom he handed over the
Governments of the Southern States in
1865, never has been popular in the
North. The people of that section APP
proved and stood by and carried into eff
feet Congressional Reconstruction, not |
because of its proscriptive features but
because it vitalised thatgrand democratic
idea of Universal Suffrage which under
lies the foundation of free government.
If the Democratic organization, which
since the war has done so many things to
belle its name and professions, had en-
bodied this fundamental doctrine of free
lom into its creed, and distinctly repudi-
tied prescription and Andy Johnsonism
n all its phases, its success in obtaining
,ontrol of the government, would have
Ong since been assured

The Western Farmers and ,ha
Currency.

W. 9. Flagg, president of the Illinoi:
Farmers Association, writes a letter IN
the Chicago Tribune stating that he ''be.
lieves President Grant did right in veto
ing the Imitation Bill But in this 7
believe | belong to a minority of our
Western farmers" He says that the po-
sItlon that the State Farmers Association
has taken, and which the Advisory Board
had not the authority to modify, on this
question is expressed in the following res
olution
ResOtved, That we favor the repeal of
the National Banking law, and believe
1nat the Government should supply a
legal-tender currency directly from the
Treasury, interchangeable for Government
bonds bearing the lowest possible rate Of
interest.

Decoration Day.

The decoration of Confederate graves
has been more generally performed the
present year than previously; and eloquent
tongues have given expression to the senti-
ments which the occasion would natural
ly suggest, judged. A. P Campbell
was the orator at Canton, and Gen. Jacob
Sharpe at West Point. We have observed
that there is no fixed day for the per-
Torrance of these solemn rites in this
State. Hereafter we shall propose tina t
all other days be dropped and the ami
versary of the day on which Stonewall
jackson died shall be set apart and con-
secrated to the grateful service.

Another FEST Vote On tIBe Carr
reDcy.

Another currency bill which was re-
ported by majority Of contractionists,
has passed the Senate, but not until the
expansionists had so changed ita to cause
its abandonment by its own friends.
The Chicago Tribune (contractionist)
says that "though it was Mr.. Sherman's
| bill as originally introduced, Mr.. Sher-
man voted against it. Though it was in
tended to supply measure in opposition
to the bill vetoed by the President, those
who supported the vetoed bill finally
supported this, and those who opposed
the vetoed bill finally opposed this.
Though started us an anti-infation meas
ure, those who have ranked as infiationists
voted for, and those who have been re-
garded as anti-infationists voted against
it. The meaning Of all this is that the
bill has been so amended as no longer to
commend itself to the conservative fl
nanciers of the Senate, while the imitation
lists have accepted it pr badly in the be-
lief that it is the best they can do after
their recent experience.
The bill was passed by vote of % to
10, showing that The policy of expansion
has gained, so far from having lost
strength, by the Presidential veto. The

C.psarisna-AHOw to Avert I'd.

1t is shrewdly suspected that the cur
rency veto of Gen. Grant was a bid for
the third term The document has had
the effect of enlisting the warmest sympa-
thy of the money barons, and of dispatch
ing Morton's and Conkling's hopes of
the Presidential succession. The latter is
regarded as an offensive and defensive ally
to the President yet he had his aspira-
tons. These rivals disposed of leaves
the way open to the President, who has
been shaping his nominations to the end
in view. His confidential conferences
with senators, too. it is said, have been
directed to the Republican nomination
of 1876.
If these surmises be true, scheme Is
on foot to enthrone Cesarism on the ruins
Of popular Republican government.
Backed by the money power, the move
ment would be formidable How is it to
be met? Would it not be best to fight
the devil with fire and rally all the ele-
ments Of opposition to the support of Gen.
Sherman with some popular Western or
Southern man on the ticket for Vice
President; for example, Lamar, or Alcorn
of Mississippi; Gordon of Georgia, Coburn
or Wilson of Indiana? Who Knows but
a programme like this, based upon lib
eral policy on the currency, and tariff,
and Mississippi bottom reclamation quss-

rels and worn out issues, would sweep
over the country like whirlwind In |
this connection we may mention rumor |
hat Gen. Sherman is going to make his

not be bad place for carrying out the pro-
gramme against Cesarism.

Currency question: speech, delivered
b. Hon. John Coburn, Republican, of In
diana in the House of Repres entatives;
and letter of u. S. Senator Gordon.
(DemocraDof Georgia, to his constituents.
Both these gentlemen insist that the
supply of currency is not sufficient. Gen.
Gordon says: Il hope to see an increase
''of greenbacks, and | hope to see them
interchangeable with bonds at low
crate of interest. If this is done, am
willing to be held as an abettor of all
