PROM ARKANSAS.
.Recent advices from Little Rock,
Arkansas, say that "organizations under
the new State Constitution are complete
in nearly all the counties, and
that the offices of Sheriffs and Probate
and county Judges have all been filled
by loyal men. Business goes on peaceably,
the taxes are being collected,
the returned Confederates Acquiesce
in their defeat, and rejoice that the
War is over. Traveling through the
State is as safe as before the war.?
Speculation 'and trade are becoming
brisk, and emigration from the North,
*: especially of mechanics wad miners, is
f beginning. There is a. large amount of
cotton in the lower part of the State."

THB ELECTION".
On Monday next, our people will be
called on to vote for four .members to
the State Convention, whose duty it is
to alter the JState Constitution, with a
view to re-admission into the Federal
Union. Every man who is averse to
military rule, and wishes civil law to be
resumed, should at once qualify himself.
for voting at this election, and select
from the candidates nominated,
those -whom he thinks can best Carryout
the ends contemplated. There is,
or can be, no partyism urged in this
election, for the Amnesty Oath levels all
distinctions; let us then not waste time
| in cavilling over by-gone issues, but set
forth boldly and steadfastly to meet the
new order of things that has come up
on us.

RESTORATION.
We find the following article in the
Richmond Times, of the 28rd instant,
which may be of interest to &ome of our
readers, who are absent from their
home3 in the low country:
"During the last week upwards of a
dozen citizens of the- South, who had
obtained their pardons, made personal
' - '? il 171 J T>
application at tne r reeuniun s xmreau
for the restoration of lands which had
beon taken into the custody of the bureau.
On production Of the certificates
of pardon, the applicants were furnished
with orders upon the local agents of
the bureau in the South for the restitution
of the property claimed, with the
provisions that the owners be made to
compensate &e black's for the crops
, thejf may be cultivating thereon, or
leave them in undisturbed possession
until the same are harvested."

* The trial of Wirz, Superintendant
of the Military Prison at Andersonville
is progressing at Washington,
which creates much interest; while, at
the sanflF time, attracting little notice,
the authorities of Kings county, New
York, have just had,an overhauling of
the treatment of those confined in the
county jail.- A minority committee report
that the principal keeper has been
feeding both prisoners and keepcrs-with
diseased and putrified meat, insufficient
in quantity, and that he. even extracted
the marrow from the soup bones and
seftt it away, the presumption being to
be sold for hiit own advantage. Fldgr
ging the prisoners with a cowhide, on .
the hate back, tow a part of the prison
discipline as exercised by the keeper,
though contrary to the rules of the en*
tablishment. Even women were sub- ?
jected to this cruel punishment.
What an interesting volume these two
trials would make, with proper illustrar
tions?North and South!
| COMING SOUTH.
President Johnson, it seems by
Northern papers before us, is to meet a
committee of General Officers at Rich:
mond, Va., in a short time,?where he i
jwiH accompanied by Secretary of
War, Stanton. It is said to be "in ret
erence to the condition of affairs in this ;
section, aS affected by the policy of'
' ? mi ij _ 4,
ills administration, xue uieeuuig io to
be held in' "the private parlors of the
Jkff. Davis mansion," and mass meet- j
ings, taking advantage Qf the occasion, ^
are to vie with each other in giving "a
great reception." We can only hope, i
at this time, that some good may result 1
from these demonstrations, and there 3
i
may, bat we will he pardoned for. look- ^
ing at this as rather in bad taste, at j
least before re-constrnction. It is "our i
own people's" doing, however, and if ]
ifeereis any wrong, we must blame our- ^
iselves. It is thought the President I
will be invited to and visit Raleigh? ]
probably as far South as he will be ]
able to get this summer. We do not J
envy him his trip, for he will be mighti- 1
ly be-deviled by penitent secessionists j
r\n~r>no band. at>d ramnant "Unionists" i
on thejother; his "grand ovations" will
not be like those of Gen. Grant's?
far from it; with the noise of dcnm and
fife will not cease his duties. We only
hope his health will enable him to stand
the heavy seige he has to undergo, and
that his> temper will not lead him to
"disappoint" his many admirers.
President Johnson is*a man of too
much sound sense, to be led astray by
the pitiful toadyism that is about to be
practised upon him; he can not be easily
deceived, and those who would win
his respect, should accord to him only
that honor, to which, as President of
the United States, he is entitled. When
South Carolina is admitted into the
Union, on an equality with other States, c
then we might wish to welcome a Pre^i- r
dent of the Union; jmtil then, we bow 4
to all his mandates; with a respectvto
which both parties are entitled. t
May his visit he propitious. i

OP THE FRENCH TROOPS |
FROM MEXICO. ,
Washington, Aug. 16, 1865. i
1 believe 1 am warranted in saying that, \
in a few days more the public apxiety in <
relation to the Mexican question will be. ;
set at rest by a semi-offioial announcement
that the Mexican imbroglio baa been settled *j
in a manner consistent with the honor of (
the American people, and in accordance |
with the principle of the Monroe Doctrine. t
The reported settlement is said to be the 1
result of Mr. Seward's diplomatic labors
for some mouths past. It is said that immediately
after the surrender of the rebel
army under Gen. Lee, Mr. Seward caused
the Emperor of France to.be informed
through the proper ohaimel, that the Government
of the United States, was then, or
soon, wouid.be, in a position to maintain the
principles of* the Monroe Doctrine; that,
owing to the difficulty whioh had been experienced
in suppressing Ihe-rebollion, and
the-length.tif time whichtheworkoccupied, the
United States had been compelled tor.,
stand and look on, and |tacitly consent to
some things which, were entirely opposed
to the spirit of onr institutions; that among
them was the establishment of a foreign
monarchy in Mexico on the ruins of the
Mexican Republic: that the United States
Government is cow able to devote the proper
degree -of attention to its foreign relations
; that the Monroe Dootrine constitutes
one of the most cherished principles of our
Government, and that the President is determined
to enforce it; that is a few weeks
we would have * veteran army of half a
million of men, who could be thrown iota
Mexico in a few days*; and that,.if It become
necessary, this great force would bo
employed, in the expulsion of Maximillian 1
and the French troops from Mexico, and in i
the restdration of the Republic there. < ]
These, of oonrse, were not the words, >
but it is said that this was the tenor and i
effeot of this dispatob, and that it has had <
the intended effeot; and, that the govern- i
ment has recently received 'from France
the assurance that the. French troops, shall
all be withdrawn from Mexico and that <
Maximillian himself will soon abdicate his \
throne and return to Austria. It is only
since the receipt Of this most gratifying 1
intelligence?n)m-France that orders hate
been given for the gradual disbandment of !
the United States troops in Texas. They
were sent there booatiBe it was not yet' '
known what the decision of Napoleon ]
would be; and there was a prospect at one *
time that their servioes would be actually j
Deeded for the expulsion of Maximillian by '
foroe. Now, however, it is known that the .]
Monroe Doctrine will bet respeoted bj Na- i
poleon, and therefore, the necessity which i*
existed for their being sent to the Bio '
Grande had passed away. The Monroe '
Doctrine, therefore, will be established on i
a firmer basis than ever before; and the <
friends of Mr. Seward deolare that this is
entirely the work of the Secretary of State.
The abdication of Maximilian, and die re- 1
establishment of the republican form of !
government in Mexico, most not be looked J
for immediately. Bnt that these. events '
will take place within a reasonable time, ft
is said,,Jhbre-is-no doubt whatever. I intimated,some
time ago, that if Maximilian \
did finally abdioate, the Secretary of State J
would claim the oredit for havingbwegkf .
about that result',' and iMrhttu iftattd ;
abpve is founded on facts, it will be evident ]
that the Seoretary can make out ? pretty
fair case.
We take the above from the correspondent

<< $REEN BACKS.''?It is rather early for
people to become afraid of "greenbacks,"
or United States money. Ttow is no danger
offtny Southern man being h atifc by
having too much of it on band. For the
next two years oor people will need all ibey
ean get to pay National, 'State, county and
town taxes, to pay debts, to restock their
farms, to build and1 repair bouses, and to
pay laborers. This U. 8. currency stands
on a very different footing compared- with
Confederate carrency. We lost out Confederate
carrency beoiase the cause, on
which it was based, failed. The caase on
wbiah greenbaok currency was based triumphed,
and, so far ^s we nan see at present,
the -probability is that' the oarrenoy will
rfemain goed. If greenbaoks are discredited
it is aminjary to (he public at. large, for
we ara all dependent on it for a ciroalating
medium. The local State Banks of the
South hare suspended operations, and there
is;no prospect of their resuming btuaneea
for years to oome, if ever. /Therefore, we
mttstTely on the national currency for busi
ness operations.
It is unfortunate for the community at
large, when holders of cotton, tobaocq, &o.,
Bell for specie, because If is likely that the
specie will never see the light of day again
?it wijl go into a "strong box" j>r an old
stocking?and the bolder will plead "not a
eent of money" when called on to-paya
debt or invest in a pnblio enterprise. They
will suffer almost anything rather than let
the specie pass from their band^. and thus
the pnblio it deprived of oapitai and faoili*
ties for promoting prosperity.
We don't profess to have an extra am ount
of knowledge.of financial matter's, but we
think many people will find 'greater need
for greenbacks than they now suppose; and
that they will have some difficulty hereafter
in getting as maoh es they actually want
for present demands.?Charlotte Democrat.
