That a great Southwestern State of the Union, comprising over fifty-two thousand square miles of land, mostly well wooded, well watered and fertile, and with a carbon- iferous wealth of untold millions below the soil, should be in this present day a pandemo- nium on earth is a sad acknowledgment. Yet this is true of Arkansas. From the date of its admission to the Union, 1836, it certainly has been the typical mauvais sujet among the brotherhood of Commonwealths, and the story of its latest achievements in the line of ruffianism, as graphically told in another part of to-day’s Heraup, will show that it ably preserves its reputation for law- lessness that begins anywhere in the line of dereliction, and enacts murder without an afterthought wherever human life happens to stand in its way. It has been unfortu- in handing over to these States once more their sovereignty when onco they had given full assurance to the nation that they would rebel no more, The dominant party added other conditions, and tho first of these in the radical evangel was that these States should be secured to the party for all time. In the conflict which followed between the natives of these States and the satraps foisted on them and held there, the promised olive branch was timo and again made a mockery in the eyes of civilization. The contest deepened until it took in every fraction of political strength on cither side. Where one side acted as a ruthless conqueror the other either plotted secretly and acted fur- tively, but bloodily, to be mot with new repres- sions from their superiors in the political field. All this kind of performance, no matter where the justice lies, takes money, and the mass of the people in the end found they were paying nate in its neighbors. Tho proximity of the Indian Territory, with its chronic temptations to desperadocs, who carried their lives in their hands, so that they could rob and cheat the Indians on one side of the State line and the settlers on the other, was a constant source of demorulization. From Texas, too, it received whatever spare row- dyism was within it, and only gained its valu- able accessions of wealth and population from ' the slave States, which, scattered their capital and servile colonies wherever the land was favorable to cotton, Thus the “border ruffian’’ became a household word of terror, and it owned the place of priority to no section of the globe in its sudden and deadly recourse to the pistol and bowie-knife as an appeal in all cases of grave discussion. The infection of murder was not confined to the floating population, It fastened its fangs in the very dearly for their passion of contention. The avaricious greed of the carpet-baggers naturally aggravated this evil, and the rapid rise of their fortunes added to their insolence and fed the flame with still more combustible fuel. Oounting on the support of the federal government, and in many cases getting it, the carpet-baggers throve in worldly goods and haughtiness, The party who opposed this at the North now gained accessions from disgusted republicans, and the movement which began in Missouri spread into the wider field embraced in the Conventions of Cincinnati and Baltimore. It is needless now to recount, for it is one of the evolutions of the hour, how the federal government made a show of abandonment of the carpot-baggers and how the people of the impoverished rebel States plucked up hope from the liberal coalition all over the Union. wealthier, and held its fascination over them until judge, legislator and parson alike seemed to have the mania hopelessly mingled in thoir blood. When the avalanche of secession came it did not fail to overwhelm Arkansas among its other areas of devastation. But its effect there capriciously differed from its manifesta- tions in other directions. Like others it carried away a constituency divided between adherents of the Union and the rebel cause; but the Union element as well as the rebel was composed therein of bitter, desperate men, and the scourge of the war itself, which asserted itself in the State, left, at its close elsewhere, a long list of feuds of older standing embittered by the fight still raging in desultory conflict. In 1868 it received the full benefit and peculiar blessings of the reconstruction laws, and the carpet-bagism which the close of the war had let loose became consecrated to directorship in the State by the new consti- tution, with its plenary powers to disfranchise where it listed. Still the demoralization con- tinued. The overbearing, reckless population which had made the causé of the Confederacy their cause, felt themselves more than ever in the hands df the grim power which had made them feel their defeat through an iron heel planted firmly on their necks. With this state of things reaching down from a disreputable past to a present of malevo- lence, distrust and ready hostility on either side, it is not wonderful that murder and wrong of every kind enter so freely into the picture of the Arkansas of to-day. We have premised thus far, because the informa- tion of trouble in Pope county, Arkansas, which has reached the public heretofore could | only convey a few startling facts, without opening up the causes which led to them, and which may stain the history of every county in the State at any moment with a similar record of lawlessness and bloodshed. Pope county, where the present alarming condition of things prevails, is situated to- wards the northwest portion of the State and has its capital at Dover. The Arkansas River forms its southern boundary, and one of its tributaries, the Illinois Bayou, flows past this county town. Hovering around the eminences | along this stream the Pope County Sheriff, | Dodson, with his Superintendent of Schools, Stuart, and two hundred and forty militia, holds what remains of the reins of local authority, while the majority of the young men of the white population have armed them- selves and take all possible means known to guerilla warfare by which to compass the dis- comfiture of this Sheriff and his militiamen. The origin of the ‘‘war,”’ as it has grown to be called, when stripped of local bickering and private feud, lies in the difference between carpet-bagism and nativism. The carpet- bagger, tenacious of power once obtained, | holds tightly in the leading strings all around him party supporters and political enemies | alike. One of this class named Hickox, an | able, domineering man, stood thus with his constituency by the throat, when one day a | bullet put an end to his existence, ‘The great liberal movement, which produced division in a mildershape around the roll of States, cast a | deadly apple of discord into Pope county. It is not necessary to know on what basis the re- publicans divided there, whether it was the saving beauties of the Cincinnati platform or the chance which old factionists within the party saw of defeating their opponents, or both; but Pope county divided, and the struggle of opinion soon, according to the usage du pays, became “war to the knife and the knife to the hilt.” How it will end is not, of course, prophecy to say, except that whatever way is | found out of it will probably involve another passage of that pitiless blood-spilling with which the annals of Arkansas are so familiar. As we in the midst of an exciting can- ss for the Presidency, who can discuss | without lethal weapons and yote without | wholesale bloodshed, ponder over these pie- tures of present day politics in Arkansas, a sense of shame and disgust is no wise dis- creditable to our feelings. The of every State in the Union to its allegiance after the war was looked to in | every manly hope as the incoming of an era of peace, order and law-abiding. It can- not be said that these hopes were very san- guine in regard to certain States—Arkansas | among the number; but it was certainly never dreamed that over seven y should | elapse only to leave disorganization and distrust, like guardian demons still brooding | over that much-talked-of bloody chasm.” When Congress commenced reconstruc. | tion course for the States lately in rebellion the difficulties which lay in the way were manifest; but it was never a secret that the partisan majority never faced those difficulties | | in an honest spirit, Their duty lay simply | | within the province of any one not gifted with | return | Thus far the change of prospect has been ac- cepted in a spirit of thankfulness by them. They rejoice that there are people outside of their traditional party who sympathize with them, and have buckled on an armor of brave en- durance, which they promise not to unhar- ness even if victory should not crown their efforts this Fall. Yet, while this is tho general aspect of the new course of political sentiment, this story from Arkansas steps in with its characteristic exception. The idea of waiting amonth orso for a possible change in the general government which woulé react bene- ficially to them through every fibre of their political system does not strike them as necessary or profitable. Hammer and tongs they must go at it to dis- lodge the carpet-baggers, while the latter call out the militia, and leave it difficult to deter- mine which will act the more brutally in carry- ing out their desires. We might say that this Pope county exception should prove the rule; but we cannot afford even one such illustration of that sinister saw. Truly the inaugurators and directors of the policy which renders this state of things possible are piling up ao record against them which it would require oceans to obliterate, as it will cost mgny a care and many a struggle to set their terrible work right. Mock Heroics of War in England. Systematic war is an art which requires education. Neither tactics nor strategy comes entirely by instinct, even to the most brilliant military genius. Long and careful drill is needed in the school of the soldier and manual of arms before the country bumpkin of eighteen is formed into the soldier who can be implicitly relied upon to obey the commands of his officer in every emergency. More than this, it requires actual experience of the vicissitudes of a campaign to teach even the trained soldier to use not alone his military education, but his utmost tact and invention, for the protection and support of himself and ths injury of the enemy. Recent improve- ments in arms and in transmission of intelli- gence and movement of torces and material have done much to advance tho rank and file of armies beyond the condition of machines. To be effective under the fire of repeating breech-loaders the private soldier as well as his officer must think. He is not to stand firm on a smooth plain a target for a thousand riflemen. Instead, he is to find or make for himself a screen, or if none is available he is to change position, to advance or oblique or retreat so speedily as to millify the enemy’s advantage of capacity for rapid firing. In short, only actual war is the school which can adequately teach soldiers, whether in the ranks or wearing official insignia, England has of late tried the experiment of instructing her armies by annual Autumnal mancuvres in which the troops were exercised in sham campaigns, with fictitious representations of battles, sioges, sorties, attacks, resistatice, defeats and victories. This year the costly show for which John Bull is to pay half a million dollars took place in the counties of Wilts and Dorset. Fifty thousand troops of all kinds joined in the performance, thirty thousand on foot and twenty thousand mounted, representing the regulars, the militia and the volunteers. These were divided into the Northern army, under Sir Robert Walpole, which was supposed to guard the approach to the English capital, while the Southern army, under Sir John Michel, occupied at first the position of | having effected a landing and threatening to march towards Londen, After four days of make-believe fighting, with incessant marchings and constant discharge of blank cartridges, the invaders had broken the line of defence and placed themselves in the rear of the Northern camp, while their adversaries had | gained a position between the invaders and the sea, which cut off the retreat and supplies | of the Southern army. So both sides suffered, | if not actual defeat, certainly such serious loss | | of strategical positions as would demoralize | and destroy the efficiency of a real army. | Many laughable incidents took place during the campaign. “As last year the forces were | thrown into disorder by a stampede of the horses of a corps imperfectly tethered with a | patented contrivance, so this year a swarm of | hornets drove back on army and very nearly | caused fatal results by suddenly unseating | horsemen, But there were terrific charges and magnificent uncoverings of masked batteries, with wonderful flank movements, while solid | | regiments gained the applause of spectators, steadily taking the harmless fire of attacking | lines whose powder filled two counties with | noise and smoke. So terrific was the shock | of battle on Salisbury Plain that the shepherds declare it will require three Generations for thoi flocks to recover from the shock to their nervous systems; and doubtless the actors in the mimio battles will carry to their dying day the proud consciousness of having formed part of the meaningless and useless performance. Neither commanders nor privates gained a particle of valuable experience from this ex- pensive tomfoolery. Its proceedings entirely set at doflance all the circumstances of real conflict, and its only possible effect would be to prepare British troops to repeat in another war the terrible experiences of the Crimea. If the English relish the mimicry of battle they have a right to see it and pay for it; but lot thom not suppose that such training will create armies like those of Prussia. For our part we wish no weak imitations of sham military operations. Aside from our small regular army and the militia, which teaches the use of arms, and elementary organizations, we may rely, in case of another war, upon the common sense and the patriotism of our citizens to fur- nish unequalled soldiors by the prompt teach- ings of actual experience. May it be long be- fore we have need of armies or armaments. The Presidential Contest—-The Coming October Elections=Mr. Greeley’s Opin- fom of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, N Mr. Greeley on, Saturday evening last returned to this city from his laborious, eventful and encouraging electioncering expe- dition ‘out West,"’ ag the Presidential standard-bearor of the liberal republicans and democrata, against General Grant and ‘‘tho powers that be’’ at Washington. Mr. Greeley on his return was cordially and enthusiasti- cally received by a large gathoring of his sup- porters at the Lincoln Club, and in a brief but comprehensive little speech on the occa- sion, he explained his late remarkable excur- sion and its good results in behalf of tho political cause represented by Greeley and Brown. He said:—‘I was pressed to go to certain States in the Union, and I consulted the National and State Committees, and their judgment concurring, I went on. I think it has done much good,”’ “I think I have dis- abused some honest mon with regard to our purposes."” “I do not mean to say another word to the ond of the canvass, 44 I have explained myself as well asIcan."’ But the cream of his remarks was in these opinions, viz.:—“I think Pennsylvania is ours if we can have a fair election. Ohio is with us, and Indiana can neither be bought nor sold, and will be with us;"’ and, finally, ‘‘I have been greatly strengthened and cheered by the pub- lic demonstrations of good will which have been evinced towards me in my twelve days’ trip.”” Thus, from Mr. Greeley's observations dur- ing this “twelve days’ trip,’ he has strong hopes that the opposition coalition on the 8th day of October will carry all three of the im- portant States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In- diana. He has evidently, however, some mis- givings in regard to Pennsytvania, in coupling his opinion of success in that quarter with the qualification, “if we can have a fair election.’’ This is begging the question, for it is morally certain that neither side will allow any con- siderable margin for cheating to the other in this October Pennsylvania election struggle; and it is fair to assume that in the matter of irregularities, or fraudulent practices, if you please, the bill may be summed up in advance as six for the one side and half a dozen for the other. In this view of the October test elec- tion, as between Grant and Greeley in Penn- sylvania, the general results under Mr. Gree- ley's qualified opinion are doubtful. He is not certain of Pennsylvania. He only thinks ‘‘it is ours if we can have a fair election,’’ and we all know that the party defeated in Pennsyl- vania—and everywhere else—in a momentous contest, is always defeated by fraud. But our experienced political Philosopher speaks without a reservation of Ohio. He says “Ohio is with us,"’ which we interpret as mean- ing that the administration in the October elec- tion in Ohio will be signally defeated. We have recently had some intimations from seve- ral of the more cautious of the republican journals that their party has been too confi- dent of Ohio; that the democrats and anti- Grant republicans have been working and | gathering in recruits, while the administration men in all parts of that great State have been only boasting and parading; that the defection of the German element from General Grant in Ohio is very serious, and that a good many old line abolitionists of the Western Reserve have gone over to Greeley and Brown. There may be more mischief at work in these things to the republican party in Ohio than its leaders sup- pose can be possible. Surely a man so cau- tious in his election prophecies as Mr. Greeley would not venture the unqualified declaration that “Ohio is with us’ unless he had good grounds for the opinion, But his opinion of Indiana, though not gloomy, is certainly grand and peculiar. He says that “Indiana can neither be bought nor sold, and will be with us.’’ To what does our veteran campaigner refer in this allusion to buying and selling? Doubtless he refers to the movement of the Indiana straight-out or Bourbon democrats on behalf of the Presiden. tial ticket of O'Conor and Adams, and par- ticularly to their failure to get into the field a straight democratic candidate for Governor in opposition to Hendricks, the regular dem- ocratic and liberal republican nominee. In saying, therefore, that “Indiana can neither be bought nor sold,’’ Mr. Greeley means that all attempts to make a democratic diversion against Hendricks for Governor having failed, Indiana will be carried by Hendricks in Oc- tober under the opposition union banner of Greeley and Brown. To sum up the opinions of Mr. Greeley touching these October elections, while he may have his doubts of Pennsylvania, he seems to be confident of Ohio and Indiana, : Nor can we undertake to pronounce him in either case wide of the mark. The figures of the late elections in Vermont and Maine show that | this new opposition coalition of democrats and anti-Grant republicans on the Cincinnati liberal ticket and platform has not materially shaken the administration party in New Eng- land. But it is alleged that there are much larger defections from the administration camps in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana than anywhere in the East; and that in these October elections the Bourbon democrats, many or few, will support their regular party tickets throughout. Whether these opinions are well founded or otherwise only the results of these coming elections can demonstrate, The new conditions of this general campaign and the complications gf cliques, factions and parties upon local and national issues, are such that it would be absurd to assume that in view of these coming elections a few ascer- tained losses or gains on either side fore- shadow the general resulta in Pennsylvania, Ohio or Indiana. The general canvass in behalf of Greeley and Brown appears to be reduced to a universal amnesty and to a policy of fraternal good will and conciliation towards the South as the main question. This proposition is so popular that it meets with hardly any opposition, East or West; and that it has been and is the main strength of the opposition alliance against General Grant can no longer be questioned. It was the unfailing resource of Mr. Greeley in his late Western excursion, as, indeed, it was the secret of his adoption as their Presidential champion by the democratic party. The prin- ciple involved is the great principle of brother- ly love to our brethren of the South, now that they are not only restored to ‘the Union as it is,’ but pledged to maintain it; and heroin lies the secret of Mr. Greeley's popularity and the main reliance of his supporters. ‘The cries for civil service reform, retrenchment, and other things of that old schodule of “glittering generalities,”’ has been found to go for little or nothing in this canvass against General Grant's administration; but there is some- thing i in fhis d demand for the policy of concili- ation towards tho South welch bas begome attractive to re people of the North, ‘and hence the success of Mr. Greeley in harping upon this popular string, But the main question, after all, is the finan- cial question, and it may be thus expressed: — Will it be wiser and better for the general financial and business interosts of the country, peoplo and government to re-elect Coneral Grant in November, or to reject him and try the experiment of a new administration under Mr, Greeley and this new composite party of demo- crats and liberal republicans? And upon this comprehensive issue wo find the main strength and reliance of General Grant. But still, upon all these other disturbing questions there are such perplexing party complications that in order to see the people's way through this Presidential contest we must await the returns of these a app! ching’ ‘uncertain October State elections. The Cream of the Pulpits. The city pastors and preachers are now beginning to do their very best in the declam- atory, oratorical and philosophical lines, as our columns to-day will attest, Yesterday, being the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, Father Doucet, of St. Francis Xavier's church, was led into a train of thought, concerning the nature and relations of angels and their ministrations to mankind. Good men and angels are brothers and companions in arms, warring against the enemies of good andof God, and the great love which the former draw from God they diffuso among men, making us sharers in their happiness. Tho great truth drawn forth from the narra- tive in Matthew concerning the man found in the feast without a wedding garment on, by Father Kane in the Cathedral, was that all, without exception, are invited toa place at the celestial banquet, and the terrible results of treating that call with neglect or con- tumely were alluded to in tones of warning. Men are too anxious in these days about worldly things to heed the Saviour’s call, and He calls, alas! too often in vain until, for, as the narrative indicates, they are cast into outer darkness—‘‘into hell’s interminable woe,’’ as father Kane very forcibly put it. This wedding garment, given to us by God, is His sanctifying grace in our hearts, which draws an obvious line of distinction between the saint and the sinner. The certainty of death and the preparation necessary for that event by every one of us were the subject of discussion by Rev. Father McQuirk in St. Stephen’s church. Death and the future life are subjects that we like to keep far away from us ; but it is well sometimes that we be reminded that our days are but a span long and our years are nothing in comparison with the existence of God. Our prayer, then, should be, ‘Lord, teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wis- dom.” Itis the very climax of human folly ‘‘to attach ourselves to things which must so soon perish, and sacrifice the good that endureth forever.’’ And yet this is the foolish part men are taking in everyday life. Father Gavazzi, the great Italian pulpit orator, delivered his parting sermons to American congregations yesterday. He preached in Seventeenth street Methodist Episcopal church, in the morning, on the spiritual life which the believer receives from and retains in Christ, and he warned his hearers to beware of the beginnings and tendencies of ritualism, and to keep close to Jesus Christ, and fo guard well the faith of the Pilgrim Fathers and of the Apos- tles. Dr. Newman preached in Bedford street Methodist Episcopal church on the blessedness of a pure heart, and, in illustration of what it is to be a Meth- odist, he cited a conversation between two Israelites, one of whom defined a Methodist to be one “who believes he is going to Heaven alive.” And so we do, said the Doctor. As the eye of the owl was made for darkness and the eye of the fish for water, so, said Dr. Newman, “man was made for lofty and infinite companionship with God, and not for this world.’ Yesterday was a memorable one to the Ply- mouth church (Brooklyn) and pastor. It was Mr. Beecher's first appearance in his pul- pit since the beginning of summer, and he received a greeting that a sovereign might envy. During his vacation evidently he has been studying human character very closely, so that he had something to say yesterday about its development and its relation to the destiny of man. His text was a very sig- nificant one for the occasion, and his state- ment that ‘the time will come when all lives will have their golden threads running through them’’ must have aroused the longings of many hearts in his congregation for that “happy time.’’ The future of man, as e@ son and companion of God and an equal with Christ, as portrayed by Mr. Beecher, is cer- tainly sublime enough to make careless natures pause and think what they are and whither tending, It is sin only that separates us from God, and of its strength and power, and also of its death, Dr. Wild, of the Seventh avenue Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn, had something to say. Nothing is more certain and true than the statement made by the Doo- tor that “there are few goods or evils that eud ing their force on the actor or that influence alone in time. Sin kills beyond the tomb virtue ennobles there.”’ Archbishop Bayley, having been elevated ecclesiastical dignity and office and pointed to the See of Baltimore, yes- terday preached his farewell sermon the laying of the corner stone of St. Michael's church, Jersey City. It was mainl, a review of church building and archi by tho Catholic Church in remote ages, begi ning as far back as the Catacombs, The nificence of the church architecture of Middle Ages was but the expression of hon and homage to the ‘Real Presence’ in Eucharist. The people felt that they could not do enough for God, who deigned thus come down and dwell with men. The Arch. bishop gave the vast congregation the apostolio| benediction and dismissed them.
