RUssELLvILLE ARK. THURSDAY, APRIL Is. 1875.

come forward and approve of the acts of the President. Ordinary measures are presented for the consideration of Congress, and when they are acted upon it is the dutybf the president to consider them and to approve or reject them. Neither the Senate nor the congress of the United States can sit in judgment as it were upon his acts with reference to approving or rejecting such measures as he may think proper to act upon. This would be re- versing the whole order of legis- lation, would be reversing the rotine of legislation, would be re- versing the policy and principle upon which the Legislature has acted for 8 number of years, or perhaps from the origin of the government until the present time.

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT.

1IlC ILNE ASOA/NAAIAN ~AOAe
 The supreme court of the Uni ted States is beginning, to undo the partisan legislation of con gross, done under pretense of au- thority of the constitutional amendments. Last week it de- cided a case from Louisiana which involved the validity of the en- forcement act; the question be- ing whether conspiracy to pre- vent qualified citizens from vot- ing constitutes crime against the United States. The court decided the indictment could not be sustained under the enforce ment act or under the fourteenth amendment; that the state of Louisiana having passed no law abridging the rights of citizens, there could be no violation of the amendment. The court said l: "The object of the amendment was to restrain the states, not the inhabitants of the states, as assumed by the government. The consequence of a conclusion being adopted as law, that the provisions of the constitution arc addressed to each and every in habitant, would be the entire sub- versal of the institutions of the states. and the immediate consol- idation of the whol. land into a consolidated empire, whose au- thority and processes would wholly disregard the limits and laws of the states" From this decision it would seem that all the acts of the federal commis- sioners, marshals and troops done under color of the constitutional amendments during the last eight or ten years, with a view to per pctuating the republican party, have had no authority in law. The decision is most impor- tant one, and clearly indicates what will be the ruling of the court on similar questions L. R. Gazette.

 STATE ORGANIZATION.
 To urge forward the work as rapidly as possible, to carry out our plans for the success of the enterprise, an advisory board," or committee, will be immediately fssrmed at the capital, snd "co-op- 1wative county boards,' or com fllittecs, at once organized in every county in the state. We must all endeavor to arouse emulation and excite local interest in tho objects of the exhibition. The members tlect of the present legislature, we trust, will be prominent in all the county cooperative boards. Throughout the state the repre- sentative from each county is solic- tied to act as chairman of the To- cal cooperative boards, and to or ganize said boards, with county clerk as secretary.
 State senators elect will in each senatorial district kindly act as an advisory to the county boards in theft respective districts. Members of the press the learned professions, and all state officers are cordially invited to render all possible assistance as honorary collateral co-operatives of the commission.
 All local county boards, as soon as their organizations are com pleted, will report through their secretary to the chairman of the state advisory board at Little Rock, Col. H. l.. Fletcher.

WASHINGTON.
What the President Knows of Mexican Matters-OMcial
 Changes.

W ASHlNGTON, ApIll o.-A Ac president to-day stated, in rela- tion to the invading of the Texas frontier, that he had not express ed his views to any person, not even to the secretary of state, who, like himself, had been absent from the city. He says that or ders have been issued to the mil itary for the protection of our cit izens on the frontier, but nothing else has been done, the depart ment not yet being fully advised as to tue extent of the outrages, although it had been officially in formed of the arrest of mail carrier and the burning of post office by the invaders. The Mexican government had been repeatedly reminded of the out rages heretofore committed by Mexicans upon citizens of the United States, both in Mexico, and on United States soil, and they would hear from this gov ernment in a short time concern ing those more recently commit ted, through the department of state. There would be consul tation with the secretary of state on this subject, and probably it would be brought to the attention of the cabinet, and they must de- termine hereafter what is propor to bc done in the premises. He could see no reason for an appre- hension of war between the two countries, but of, course. no one could tell what might take place ia the future; nothing however would be done by the government to provoke such result.
 The commission. of John C.. New, of Indiana, to be treasurer of the United States, to take effect from June 30, 1875, was signed by the president to-day and forwarded to Mir. New at In dianapolis.
 The president said to-day that he had no knowledge of the res ignation or removal of Commits sioner Dougless. Mir. Johnson, commissioner of customs, would be retianed; so would First Comp trollcr Taylor, of whose honesty and uprightncss he was fully as sured; also Second Comptroller Brodhead. There is a vacancy in the office of minister to Peru by the resignation of Francis Thomas, but his successor was not yet selected.
 The president has recognized Pierre De Costa as consul of Bel gium at Detroit, and appointed Edwin c. Watkins, of Michigan, to be inspector of Indian affairs. Winfield J. Wolden will be ap- pointed collector of internal rev enue of the Sixth district of Ken tucker vice John $. Nixon de- ceased.

Home Education.

There IS popular fallacy that, without the advantage of good schools, education cannot be ob- tained. But let it be remembered that many great and good men and women of the age were, and are almost wholly self-educatcd. Education, as we understand the very comprehensive term, is not merely the highest development of the intellectual faculties; an acquaintance with the arts and sciences. "Frain up a child in the way it should go,' is the di- vine injunction. The moral as we'll as the intellectual must be regarded. Impressions traced upon hearing and mind in child hood are rarely oblitcrated, but remain with us through life, strengthening and deepening with our years; exerting an evil or a salutary influence over all our ac- tions. How important, therefore, that only the best of influences be brought to bear upon the youth full mind. What has the great and good Watts expressed with regard to this same education of uth?-"Their future character as social and moral beings will be greatly influenced by the manner in which they are taught from an early period to regulate their emo tons, by directing them to ade- quate and worthy objects, and controlling them by great princi- ples of wisdom and virtue"
 Children naturally regard their parents as their superiors, and readily accept and imbibe their views; and it would appear that to them the great Giver had en- trusted the important responsi- bility of moulding the useful and susceptible mind. Particularly is it the duty of mothers to attend to the moral and intellectual de- velopment of their children" It is to be lamented that as a'class they are not better fitted to con duct the education of their off spring. De Stael said, elf you would ensure the happiness of France, instruct the mothers of the French people.'' And the noble expression is alike applica- ble to our own nation. If we would but adopt such plan, what glorious improvement there would be in the affairs of our land l; what diminution of vice!
 There are those among us, young men and women with whom ad- verse fortune has dealt roughly whose aspirations have been fet- tered and oppressed by the gall ing chains of adversity-who would gladly accept opportunities of instruction whose hearts crave the priceless boon of education i; but their respective occupations, expressing the whole of thelr time during the day, do not per init them the leisure to improve themselvei as they desire to do.

 Take not the cross away There beams the light of an eternal day; A buoy on life's turbid sea To guide our Larques to immortality.
 Take not the cross away, It is the weary pilgrims only stay On which to lean In tines swift years To bear him safely through this vale of tears.
 Take not the cross away, Its glorics to dying world display, Commend the cure apply the blcOt That heals the soul and gives us life in God.
 Take not the cross away, Prove to yourselves its sanctity lpray, That the sweet peace which from it flows Is sure sollace for all earthly woes.
