Labor Paomm or Ahxamsa—In a re cent interview with Mr. Saunders, step-son of the late Governor A. V. Brown, says the Memphis Appeal, wc learn some facts of a very encouraging character in regard to the labor prospects in Arkansas. Mr. S. has already contracted with a sufficient number of hands to cultivate bis plantation, and be fore lie left the neighborhood of Helena, had applications from a number of good hands, more than lie could give employment to.— General Pillow was also making contracts for the cultivation of his several plantations, and will there is very little doubt, have a sufficient number engaged before the end of the year. Ilis brother. Colonel Jerome Pillow, has also supplied hunscll, while other of the old pro prietors were receiving offers of contract fop the ensuing year. * m in* J Wiiat thk Radicals abe After.—The New Ynrl. World presents the case as fol lows: PTl^^HOpIe of this country furnished the govi'inment the means, the material and men necessary to jvrosecutc the war. They stood this drain, and met all the demands made upon them for four lonn years, to an ex* tcatnevrr betnre known in the history of the world. All this Wap done to presene the Union—to prevent cvibdifposed and rebel lious combinations from taking even a State out-of the Union. They have seen their cause victorious, tiul hate rejoiced over the defeat and overthrow ct'those who would destroy the nat ion. After submitting to all these sac rifices to prevent the secession of a,State, a factum '1'iings up, headed bt §teveDd, Wade and Sumner, wlio, in (licet, are endeavoring to show that, instead of preventing secession by the war, the oncccas of our armies has ac tually drive® the Southern States ont of the Union; that the sacrifice of.life ami treasure for four years was norfor the purpose of pre serving the Union, but to destroy it.

Ilia declaration that all her representatives should be admitted to Congreis who pan 23® tie oath. Confine the representation to that limit, and how many members would the Southern States have ? Perhaps not more than a dozen in alL Geor gia would I*- left entirely “out in the cold, and the same may probably be said truthfully ot most of the other States. That is no road to pacification and union. If the war an end, let the North give us reason to be^ lieve that she so regards it. The test oath is an outrage on the Constitution—a palpable usurpation—and were it constitutional, this ia no time for the operation of so obnoxious a measure. It as effectually excludes the South from representation in Congress as if a total exclusion had been enacted against her, for a people can only be represented Ly agents of their choicer. Compel them to send those men to Congress whom tliey do not wish to be there, and you have somebody else represented, not the nominal constituen cies. In this case, it is sought to make south ern members of Congress represent, not the southern people, but the prevailing senti ments at the North. Do you call that repre sentatiou according to the theory of the con stituHon i Is it a representation consistent with the rights of a free people ? Are we to be. treated hereafter by the Government as friend* and equals, oras aliens and conquered subjects We hope the South will never couseut'to any other representation in Congress than one of her Ml choice. It is the very essence of liberty that she should enjoy this privilege, and those who seek to deprive her of it, are alike her enemies ami the enemies of free government. No brave-hearted people shojld submit to sitch dictation. Better stay out oi Congress for teu years, than go in on such humiliating term* The Southern States would l>e wi-e to remain unrepresented and patiently await the time when a returning sense of justice at tkc North shall be willing to acknowledge them ns equals in the Union. And at the same time send to Congre who will carryout their views. The South 1ms elected to the Federal Leg islature good and true men, who will abide the results of the w ar, and stand by the gov eminent in good faith. They are incapable of deception, and will net oin honest part in restoring the era of brotherhood to our di vided countrymen. She is loyal herself, and expects them to represent her faithfully There is no just ground for their exclusion, and the measure by which such a result accomplished, is an act of tyranny by a ma jority that can find no pretext, much leas j tiffcation, in that instrument which i* the source of all Federal power. From the lust lights before us, however, we arc constrained to believe that tbc majority in Congress do not represent the majority ot the people of the North. If the press and other contemporaneous witnesses be any indication of public sentiment,a vast ma jority of the people of that section are tired of strife, and disgusted with the unpatriotic mano uvi of politicians to keep the country in hot water for their own benefit. They are willing to lot by-gone9 be by-gones, and to meet the South on equal terms in all respects, in tbc halls of Congress, and with a cordial grasp of the hand, welcome them as friends And brothers. Wc furthermore believe that before tbc close of the present session, that majority will sec tlieir true interest and duty, and, rising in their might, will frown upon these fanatics and disorganizers. • They can not do so too soon. Senator Wilson has nl ready seen tlicstorm in the distance, and giv en those radical-,Sumner and St< p'uns,to un derstand that hi* co-operation with the must have a limit.

Capital is not idle and may 1m* benefitting its possessor as much iu one shape as in another, but when used for speculation rather than production it is misdirected, and instead of benefitting, becomes seriously detrimental to the best in terests of the whole country by enhancing •prices and engrossing products.

The widows and orphans, now' suffering for the necessaries of liie, and thousands of maimed survivors, call for our respect and sympathies. In all of the Legis latures of the Southern Slates, we have wit nessed with gratification, movements looking to the amelioration of these classes. Our fail- tyc places our cripples beyond the pale of as* sistance by the Federal Government. No pensions, no bounties, no land grants inure to them. Tlie decrepirl Confederate soldier must rely upon the kindness of friends. The empty sleeve and the absent leg must be sup plied by the kindly offices of tbc more fortun ate. Happily, in tills work of charity there need-enter no political question. “ The war is over, and whilst the govern ment can hike 'care of the unfortunates, who were maimed in its defence, those of the oth er side fall upon the list which addresses it self to the feelings ot abstract humanity and private charity. There arc cases in which the benevolent feelings of human nature arc en listed, without regard to the causes of mis fortune. There is- scarcely a city, town, vil lage or iiaiftlct in the South in which there arc not representatives q( the lplsfTO* ff nc ^ misfortunes oi war. It is due to the better impulses of human nature, that these suffer ers be relieved. Let us not forget these du ties and obligations. These cold and cheer less winds of December remind us forcibly of these claims, and enforce them upon our con siderntion and attention. Let not the higher and kindlier qualities of our nature fail to assert themselves, while there are so many objects ot our tender regard.” yj ie c i ec tjon of Charles J. Jenkins us Governor of Georgia, seems to be hailed with delight by patriotic mpp in nil parts of tl^p country. Wc find the following in the New York Times: The Governor Elect okOeoroia -What ever may have been thought of the shape giv en by Judge- JjHikins to the action of the Georgia State Convention, dt which he was confessedly the leader, his recent course must receive the approval of the entire loyal North. Unanimous') elected Governor of Georgia, he yields graefeully to the decision of president Johnson, that he shall not. at present enter upon the discharge of bis duties, and in a let ter to the Legislature, the tone of which is admirable and unexceptionable, postpones his inauguration until the national Executive shall jmlfflite its willingness that the ceremo ny should take place. If the newly elected Governors of Mississippi and some other Southern States had manifested the spirit ex hibited by Judge Jenkins, and shown them selves as anxious to comply witj) tlie wishes of President Johnson ns they were ambitious to assume authority they could not exercise, the work of restoration would have been both simplified and expedited. Internal ID.vkme Decision on Job Printing.—The Deputy Commissioner of In ternal Revenue lias just made the following ruling, which is of importance to job print ers : “A newspaper publisher having taken license us manufacturer, may sell his papers; or he Idav ftell bill heads, printed cards, and printed circulars, Ac., of Iris own manufacture or printing, without u dealer's license. The tact that » manufacturer has taken a license does not relieve him from the payment of the excise tax.

The Chair announced the following com mittee on reconstruction: Fesseuden, Griner, Harris, Howard, John son and Williams. Sumner presented a petition of colored «-it- izeus of Tennessee, asking that the Congres sional Delegation from Tennessee !*• not re- ceived till tin* State recognized tho rights ol colored citizens. Also a petition of white citizens of the District of Columbia, for the extension of the right of suffrage to colored people. Mr. Howard presented a petition of 3,700 colored citizeus of South Carolina, for such legislatior as will insure them their political i rights. Referred to the committee on recon struction. Mr. Davis offered a resolution calling on heads of Departments for lists of persons in debted to the United States. Objected to and laid over. On motion of Mr. Lane, the Committee on Post Offices was instructed to inquire into the expediency % of abolishing the fntfiking privilege, except upon written commica- tioUs. Mr. Wilson introduced a lull, which *\ys referred to the Judiciary Committee, to main tain and enforce the freedom of all the inhab itants pf the United States. Mr. Stewart called up the Senate bill to secure the freedom of citizens of the States late in rebellion, and addressed the Senate, in reply Mr. Sumner's remarks of yestor day, and controverting, the theory, that the Southern States are out of the Union and have been reduced to the condition of terri tories. He also argued that tiie North was not justified in forcing negro suffrage upon the South, \> hilewthey w ithheld political lights from negroes in Northern State Mr. Wilson replied in favor of the bill. He combatted the idea that tlie Democrat it- par ty is coming into power, either through the agency of the President or anybody else. It must have reconstruction, time and raorgar.i /.ation before it can govern thi- countn through anybody. He bad no fears that the President would separate from the party that elected him, to which he is bound by honor, by principle and by interest. He has made no issue with Congress, and Congress had made no issue with him. I think it our duty to give the President a manly, generous anil honest support, to look with hope mm.I «-onti dence, but to be as inflexible as destiny with the course of impartial and universal liberty in the country.

Raymond said the ordinances of r~r,, sioti were a declaration of a purpose and a de termination to succeed. Whether practical effects could be given to the purpose depend ed on their ability in tlie lielil. The effect was not a success, but a failure.

Already Congress is classified tinder three heads. The Adminis tration party is substantially growing stronger, and it is predicted by sage political observers that when the President opens tire from his reserve of big-guns, , there will be Jew left to oppose his policy. This is to be done early in January, beginning with the use of Executive patronage. Even republi cans admit that within'JO days a majority of the Senate will lie on.the side of the Admin istration. This.is all that will lie needed, for with a Conservative majority in the Sen ate, the Radicals in the House will be utterly powerless for harmful legislation, except to refuse admission to members from the South ern States.
