WHAT reckless and cold-blooded set
these modern Texas reporters are. Acor-
respondent of the Houston Mercury for
instance, after detailing, by telegraph, from
Waco, the death of Gus Clayton, young
nan from Georgia, who was killed by a
man named Sims, concludes as follows;
There was a heavy Yain last night and
to-day. The river Is rising fast, and win
be very high by morning.

GEN. Rooms, Of jefferson, whom we
recommended for the Supreme bench, has
been appointed district judge, to preside
over district in which his eminent abili-

accord due merit to those previously
recommended, We feel assured his appoint
ment will give universal satisfaction.

THE Senate yesterday formed itself into a
court Of impeachment, orthe trial Of Judge
Chambers Of Liberty, a district judge who
is charged vifh high crimes and INSIDE
meanors. Hon. John Ireland, with TIT
dignity and with sense Of public virtue
with which he seemed profoundly impress
ed, brought the matter before the attention
Of that body. The Senate was silent, and
there was solemnity in the scene worthy
Of the Purer days Of the republic, when cor
ruption was viewed with adherence.
There are other officers whose official and
private conduct are to be brought to inYes-
tigation and judgment. We rejoice at it.
The scene yesterday was deeply gratifying.
Corruption has no longer any cOuntenance.
It must stand at the bar Of trial. Those in
authority are determined upon pure gov
eminent, and resolute to maintain it.

The New Officers.
G. f. HARVEY.
S. G.. w. A. d.

Secretary of State j. M. johnson ar
rived in the city on Tuesday night, and
created quite stir yesterday among the
officers elect under the new constitution,
by declining to sign their commissions
We do not know what reasons Colonel
Johnson assigns for this refnsal-but a
commission cuts no figure whatever in
the matter. Section 20 Of the schedule
TO the new constitution reads as follows ::
"All officers elected under this consti.
tuition, except the governor, secretary OF
state, treasurer, attorney general and
commissioner Of state lands, shall enter
upon the duties Of their several offices
when they shall have been declared duly
elected by said state board Of supervis.
ors, and shall have duly qualified. All
such officers shall qualify and enter upon
the duties of their offices within fifteen
days after they have been duly notified OF
their election. :"
Under this section, when an officer
elect receives official notification of that
fact from the state board Of supervisors,
he is required to enter upon the dis
charge of his duties within fifteen days
from that time. Nothing whatever is
said about commission, and no COM
mission is necessary. That can be issued
The Van Buren press., 1874-11-10

at any time. just as soon as party re-
ceives official notification Of his election
from the state board, he can enter upon
the duties of his office. This he is re.
quired TO do within fifteen days-com-
mission or no commission and should
the present incumbent refuse to surren-
der the office, he can then be proceeded
against under chapter 43, Gantt's Digest,
under the head of conspiracies and
usurpation Of office, section 1856 Of
which reads as follows:
"1f any person shall exercise, or at
tempt to exercise, the duties of any Office
created by the constitution aud laws Of
this state, without first beitg qualified,
in the manner prescribed by law, for the
discharge thereof, the person so Offend
ing shall, upon conviction, be punished
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
period not less than one year nor more
than five years, IN the discretion of the
court"
Under this section OF the law any per.
son refusing to turn over his Office can
be arrested, On affidavit being made be-
fore any officer having jurisdiction Of the
matter-justice Of the peace or circuit
judge.
Let those who are elected, immediate.
ly on notification of the fact by the state
board Of supervisors, at once qualify and
enter on the discharge of their duties. A
commission is Of no more value than a
notification by the state board-both arc
evidence of title to the office. There
should be no delay on the part of those
elected in qualifying at once,-Gazets.

To THE SUBORDINATE AND GRAND CoUN.
CILs OF TEMPERANCE REFORM:
Dearly Belored BrethrM-
1t is known to you all that the present
session of the Supreme Grand Council
was to be held at Van Buren, Crawford
county. On the day set the Supreme
Grand Council met, but there not being a
sufficient number of Grand Councils rep
resented to constitute quorum, have
no business to report from that body.
At suggestion made by me sometime
since to Subordinate Councils to send up
representatives to convention to be
held at the time and place of the assem-
rb.ing Of the Supreme Grand Council, a
number of Subordinate Councils were
represented, who in their wisdom, in the
main adopted the suggestions l made in
my address to the Order in the early
part of the year. The Grand Council Of
Central Western Arkansas, who had
withdrawn from our jurisdiction, being
in session here, on having the PROPOSE.
tions of the convention submitted to
them, in spirit of self sacrifice worthy
or all commentator, for the sake of
peace and harmony, dissolved their
Grand Council and entered into the plan
of the convention. The convention now
submit their work to you and ask you to
Join them to help further the common
cause
Brethren, heartily commend to your
favorable consideration the action of the
convention as being the very best that
could be done for the interest of the Or
der and the cause Of temperance.

ADDRESS OF THE CONVENTION OF
COUNCILS OF TEMPERANCE
Reform.

To ALL SUBORDINATE Councils OF TEN
PERANCE Reform:
Brethren
There having unfortunately crept in
amongst us certain divisions and dissen
sions from causes apparently beyond
control, which have not only impeded
our progress in the great cause, but to a
great extent destroyed the efficiency Of
our labors. We have, therefore, in re-
sponse to the Supreme Grand Worthy
Arch Deacon, met in convention-being
representatives from Subordinate Coun
ellis, the fountain Of all power,-having
maturely and attentively considered the
present condition of the Order have ar
rived at the following conclusion:
That the present organization of the
Order is too complicated. cumbersome
and expensive to work smoothly or eff
ficiently. The convention in it's wisdom
has, therefore, adopted, in the main, the
suggestions of the s. G.. w. A. D., made
in former address to the Councils, viz :
That there be one Grand Council, the
head of the Order, having exclusive
power to adopt and change the Ritual
aud Constitutions, and make general
avs for the Order.
The officers of the Grand Council are
Jealous and competent brethren, who
can and are willing to give a sufficient
amount of their time to the discharge of
the important duties of the Grand Coun-
Gil. The Grand Secretary and Worthy
Arch Deacon have their Office at Van
Buren. Their postal facilities are equal
to any point in the State-there are daily
mails to the North, South, East and
West making it in that respect very
central point.
We therefore ask you, brethren, to co.
operate with us, that we may present an
unbroken front to our great enemy, in
temperance, and that the liquor traffic
may be speedily driven from our borders
by our united effort.

VAN BUREN, ARK, Nov. 7, 1874.
FRIEND DUNHAM:
The last battle for the freedom of Ar
kansas has been fought and we are again
victorious. The boilers are shelvtd, we
have good constitution ratified, full
corpse of officers elected by the untram-
meled vote ef the people. We can con-
sole ourselves with the reflection that we
have done a good years work since April
last. You, my good friend, with few
Of us in this part Of the State have had a
hard road to travel a part of the time,
for while battling for the best interest Of
our people, many here who ought to have
been working with US have done all in
their power to impede us, from the taking
possession of the State House by Brooks
up to the close Of the election on the Sd
inst. But we feel that Arkansas starts
out again on a sure foundation on the
road to prosperity. May Heaven prosper
her. Let us be true to ourselves. Let
us take warniug from the fate of the
wicked crew who have ruled and ruined
us for the last six years. May those of
our own party who ought to have been
with us but who have been fighting us en-
Joy the boon with US. The news from
all quarters is cheering and in our great
JOY we will forgive our crring brothers.
May Heaven bless all together. We will
throw the mantle Of charity over them
aud say they knew not what they did.
The Van Buren, Press, that staunch ad
vocate of the best interest Of the whole
people against the aspirations of chronic
office seekers, still lives and will prosper
Notwithstanding the threat that it should
be broken down. Go ahead in the same
good work to build up our good State,
and the Press will live to chronicle the
political death Of many more of those
who have maligncd it. "We are tree,
we are free, we have broken our chains, ]"
etc Yours, Is.
