Asa .tule tbe carpet-bagger o! the South lias numbered am ug bis ! <1 siinctive t'uits, the rankest rows j ardice and personal poltroonery. He has been adroit at manipulating Un votes and moulding the opinions of the, colored brother. He has aflec led- religion and philanthropy. He has managed to present h ; jtywekf-ter the gaze of tbe p opie of tlie Ifortii in the attitude ol a mar.yr. Bu he bus always been a non-combatant. A vvliifl'of smoke sends him bustling into the nearest cu-tom bouse. A half dozen hoys out on a fox bunt teirify him imo calling for ‘imre troops.’ And so on. This is the sort of carpel-bngger we find fn Paiterson or tMoses, and Kellogg aud Spencer. But the Atkansas carpet bagger is a different breed altogeth er.—He affects neither religion nor philanthropy. A hardened snn r, lie glories in his and praviiy aud scotls at hypocrisy. Bui lie has nerve and is game. There is McClure, Poker Jack, they call him ; a perfect type of the Arkansas carpe hagg'-r. The best illustration 1 can give of Mc- Clure’s charac er is by describing an interview between him and Ai iorn-y General Williams lasi winter, alter the administration had acted in favor o: Baxter. McClure came to Washington with his blue eyes full of blood.— The opinion of the Attorney-Gen eral had struck him in the region of ilie diaphragm, and to say he was mao would be to draw it very mild. He went up to ihe department ot justice and demand and to see Wtl -1 arns. That lunctionary received him. ••I am Cni f Justice McClure of Arkan-a-,’ ha began, “and I have read your opinion on the case re cently ilecid and Joy the President.— Now, sir, I wisTio say, that pa pers on .winch you opir.s ion, and which you ref -r to as hav' ing bet'll, certified to by t he oleik ol mv couf'r, are e tie r forged or gar bled.” _ ' ‘What do y -u siy, sir f” asked the s.oumled AttoriteyaGeneral. He had been a'Ceusiumed 10 tire behtfVi’dr’of the lackey on the part of the triidittonal carpet-bagger, b o here was one p ! aying the bully. Ii was incompreheiisible to tlie Atior-, iiev'G'nerak ‘‘l say, sir,’ replied the imperlur a‘de McClure, “that I believe those thos: papers areeith- rfo'g dor that new matter has been interpolated intothera; and I say further, sir. that the reputation of yourdepirt ment and the known character of yourself, inclines me to ihe belief that frauds have been etiae c i in your office, and by your instigation or connivance.’ <l \Vhat do you mean, s : r?'’ gasp ed ihe breathless Williams. “I mean jnst what I say,” replied McClure, siill as'co >1 as are frige ra ter, “and I want to see. ihe orig n tls of those popers which you claun to have'been certified to you 'by the clerk of my court.” “I haye sent them to the Senate, sir" said Williams. "You talk, sir, like a man that is lying,” said McClure. “In fact, sir, 1 believe you are lying. Not 10 pm too fine a poitu to it you are a bar. sir. Orginal papers are never sent o ihe Sen ile or the House, except by special demand for them. Tbe r- solution of the Senate in regard to these papers called for copies and copies wi re sent. You do not wish me io B>'e the originals, sir, fir far that I will del'ct .the hue polaft ns that hive been perpetrated iu your office. I believe you have been brought up in ibis matu r, sir.” At this, Williams turned and left the ro mi. His chief clerk then came up to McClure and said : “I regard your remarks as a per sonal insult to myself.” “Go,” stid McClure. “You don’t know tbe difference between an in sult and an apology. There is not a man in tins department who is ca pable of resenting anything. . Don’t talk to me at all, sir.” Then Poker Jack stroked his long bearci, walked up and down the room a few minutes and then took his leave. Well, that is ihe sort of car pet, haggars the people of Arkansas have lo deal with. Men who know neither Beruple, compunction nor tear. They mean io revolutionize the (Slate over again. They are pro* ceeding about itiu a very systemat ic way. And they will make.a deal of trouble before they are disposed of.— St. Louis Republican. A CONVENTIO.N OF CONFEDERATE SOLD;£RS.

Sec that your religion makes you a better son or daughter, a bet ter clerk, a better student, a better friend, a belter workman. 2. Do not set yourself up a* a standard. Sh in all coisoriousups-'. Remember that each one ‘to his own Master st indeih or falleth,’ and not to you. 3. Let nothing keep you away from ihe Saviour. Never be lempt e I io stay away fro n him by unbe lieving doubts, by past neglect or present fear, by anything. Be more intimate with him than any earthly friend. 4. Never rejoice in your own strength. A child looking up to Christ is stronger than a strong man armed. Be resolu e in looking to him alone for s'rengih. 5. Show by your life what grace can do. There is no language in the world so eloquent as as a holy life. Men may doubt what you say, but they will believe what.vou do. Finally. Do not be discouraged it you fad in perfect, what need would you hive of a Saviour.
