RKTOI.ITIO.N.
Th* apprehension that the lit! amond-
moat of tb* rules of the House would he
followod by an attempt to pass through
Congress psrty moastues of an arbitrary
and roTdlutionary character, is meeting
with quick verification. Ou Mondoy two
movement* of this kind wore made. One
wa* the President'* extraordinary mas
sage in reference to Arkansas, and the
other waa the proposition made in both
the Senate and the House that Con
gress layoff the representative distriot* in
Alabama. Both of these recommenda
tions, ao contrary to all preoedeut and
authority, wonld have been regarded as
too monatrou* for aeriona oontemplation
until a vorv reoent period. Now there ia
good reason to fear that they will be
adopted by Congress under tbo spur of
party exigency and the lash of oaitona dic
tation.
This Radical scheme agaiuat Arkansas
has been hatching for aeversl months.
The Chattanooga Convention plot waa
deviaed at Hot Springs, between Morton
and Clayton, with especial reference to
the overthrow of the people's goternment
in Arkansas. That Convention failed to
make out “a case," but the oonspiratore
did not givo np their deaign, and have not
baen idle aiuce. Now General Grant calls
upon Congress to overthrow the existing
government in thet State, with a distinct
intimation th.t unless Congress tola upon
tbs matter at this session, he will do the
business after its adjournment, through
the instrumentality of his ready military
agent, Sheridan!
The President insists (hat Brooks was
legally elected Govoruor of Arkanaee in
1872, and baa aiuoe been illegally kept,
out of tbo office. Thera can be little-
donbt of the election of Brooks in 1872.
He was as clearly eleoted as McF.nery waa
in Louisiana at tba same time. Bat here
is the difference: Brooks was a Liboral
Republican then, and run on ths ticket
with Groeley and Brewu. Powell Clay
ton, then Governor, disfranchised whole
counties ao aa to out down Brooks' vota
and make out a majority for Baxter, who
was then a Radical running with the
Grant Electoral ticket. '1 he consequence
was that the Electoral vote of ( tbe State
was wrongfully given to Grant, and Bax
ter declared Governor. Brooks appealed
to the courts, both Federal and Stale, lo
give him his rights. But both the Feder
al and State courts, acting precisely tha
reverie of tlio same oonrle in Louisiana,
declared that they had no jurisdiction
und declined to interfere in behalf of
Brooks. The reason of these divers* d»-
uiaious was nppar. ut t > the whole coun
try—Kellogg was it supporter end Brooke
an opponeut of the administration of
Gen. Grant. Without Federal interfer-
euoe in Louisiana, Grant would have lost
the vote of that State; with it in Arkansas
he would lose her vote. S t it was datsr-
mined, on the preaentation of cases very
similar, so far aa junsdiotion waa con
cerned, lhat the courts should assume ju
risdiction in one Blale and disclaim it in
ths other. The only difference was in the
end to bo attained in each ease. In the
Louisiana esse, by assuming jurisdiction
the vote of the people wonld be over
ruled anil the Slate given to tbo Radicals;
and in tha Arkuuaaa case, by refusing to
take jurisdiction, the very same object
would be accomplished.
As late as last summer, wheu Brooks
attempted to seize the reius of Govern
ment by revolution, the Administration et
Washington refused to sustain him, and
the people were with B ixter, who had be-
coma a Uonservalivo about as atraugely
aa Brouks had become a Radical. The
awapping of party relations by these two
men is a very curious incident of Arkan
sas politics. Baxter no doubt beosme •
Conservative btcauio lie saw that tb* large
majority of the people of the State were
on that aide, and that he wonld have an
easier time co operating with than in op
posing them. He did not fancy an sxpa-
rience similar to that of Kellogg in Lon-
isiane. On the other hand, Brooks tamed
Radical in tha hope of obtaining the as
sistance of the party iu power at Wash
ington in giving hiui the place refused to
him while a Conservative; uud this is
what Gen. Grant proposes now to do.
It is singular and remarkable that the
massage of Gee. Grant, published yester
day, was aeut to Congress immediately
after the publication of the report of its
ommittee aeut to Arkauats to investi
gate the political situation in that State.
That committeo waa composed of Messrs.
Poland, Seudder, Saylor, Sloes and Aard
—all Republicans except Sloss. On Sat
urday last a majority of this committee,
oousihtiog of nil its members except Mr,
Ward, made a report, the conclusion of
which isleporlod by telegraph as follows!
Ths new Constitution we regard aa Re
publican in form, uud in many respects
an improvement on that of ItStiS. The
committee are haltrfiod that tha conven
tion to frame ths Constitution and the
Constitution itself were voted for end are
satisfactory to a majority of the voters
and people iu tbo S ate The State offi
cers were oertaiuly elected by a majority
of the votes cast, end we think by a major
ity of tbs votes in the Slate. Tne condi
tion of the State has been ns peaceful
aincej the new government waa in
augurated as it ever has boeu. The
mass of the people on both aides arc in
clined to peace and good goven nieut,
and to allow all the enjoyment of their
legal rights, bnt Ibar* is a class of men,
tlid outgrowth of the former state of
society, who delight iu disturbing and de
priving the oolorcd people and Northern
people of their rights. These are young
men who oinuot bo te-itrained. This cltss
of meu, together with the general cus
tom of carrying deadly woupom,
another legacy of barbarism, aie
the real causes ol r o',o,ice and blood-
abed. The change, can ed by the war
of giving freedom and political equality
to tne colored people, are not well relish
ed by the Southern people, but most of
them wonld do notbiug to disturb them.
Bnt the class to which we have alluded,
feel that they may invad* tha rights of
colored man, especially in any political
quaircl, and their offences will he winked
at. We are setieffsd the true prosperity
of the Southern States depends more
upon just and stern dealing with this
lawless class of men, than any other eauioa.
Arkansas probably presents no different
•endition from that of other ootton States,
where political control hr.s passed into the
hands of the olass who ruled before the
war. The people of every Stats have the
right to. make their own constitution to
suit themselves, provided it be republican
is form, and in harmony with the consti
tution of the Untied States, end the No
tional Government has noauthority to de
prive them of lhat right. The eleotion
held for the ratification of the oonstitntion
wits under tho form of law, and the offi
ce's who conduoted it acted under ap
pointment and under official oaths; and
although wa may regard all as defective,
however, being prescribed by the conven
tion instead of the Legislature, still we
believe they are entitled to bo regarded
differently from mere voluntary meetings
held under no pretense of legal authority.
The committee do not recommend any
action by Congress or by any department
of the General Government in regard to
the State government in Arkansas.
It will be noUd thet this committee,
stepping beyond the strict limits of its
duty, not only recommended that Con
gress should take do aation disturbing the
existing government of Arkansas, but re-
oummendsd that no Department of the
Government interfere—of oourse mean
ing that the President too should withhold
h a hand. U is in view of this report,
and of its pointed and unnsuai request
made to the President, that we regard hie
message of Monday as very extraordinary
and significant. The very next working
day af^er the committee had made ita re
port, he sent in hie speoial message urg
ing Congress to overthrow the existing
government in Arkansas. He went far
ther—and this is the significant fact to
which we wish to call attention—he dis
tinctly intimated that unless Congress
acted in the matter h* would. He says in
the conclusion of tho message i “I earn
estly ask that Congreas will take definite
action in this matter, to relieve the Kteeu
live from acting upon question* which
should be decided by the Legislative
branch of the Government.” The inti
mation is distinct that unless Congress
sets aside the new constitution of Arkan
sas and makes Brooks Governor, he will
do it after Congress adjourns. ComiDg
as this declaration does immediately after
the report of the Committee, it has very
much the appearance of a threat to Con
gress. Will that body, with tha report of
its commutes beforo it, resent in a proper
manner this attempt to coerce it into con
formity with tho “policy" of the Presi
dent?
The proposition that Congress shall di
vide Alabama into Representative Dis
trict* ia another revolutionary one. Con
gress has up to this time respeotad the
right of every State Legislate re to do
this. It has taken no notioe of appor.
lionments made in the moat unfair man
ner for the purpose of securing party ad
vantage. If Congress can district Ala-
bama it can district every State in tha
Union, and thus the majority in one Con
gress may make provision for seonring
the same kind of a majority in the next,
even though a great preponderance of
the people of theconntry is against them.
In this conneotion, the voto of the
Hons* of Representatives on Monday,
refusing to snstain resolutions against a
third Presidential term, is also significant.
It shows that Oongresa will do nothing to
interfere with the schemes of the Presi
dent, looking first to the stirring np of
politioel strife end disorder in the Sonth,
and then to hie own nomination as a
means of quieting them with tbo strong
arm of military power. All Ih* develop,
menta of Monday ere indicative of a do
sign both by the President and Congress
to resort to despotio and revolutionary
measures aa a means of retaining the
power of their party.
ALABAMA LEUMLATOBB.
Monday, 8<A.—In the Senate, the Com
mittee on Revision of Law* wss allowed

—Ths delights of (mating in Oregon
described by an old band: “Going np
the mountain side I espied a big back
standiug by a fir tree; I leveled my old
gun, whioh carries a belt onnee ball; at
the crack of tb* gnn, and aa soon ss the
smoke oleared away, I saw my dear lying
at the root of the tree; I ran np and cat
it* windpipe. As I wss standing looking
at my deer kicking around, I saw honey
tanning ont of the tree where ray bnllet
wont in. 1 wss in a big hurry to find
something to attek in the tree to atop tha
honey from ■wasting. I grabbed down to
get something, nud there was a phoaaant;
I grabbed its head and wrung it off and
stuck ita neck in the tree and stopped the
honey from wasting. After I had ray
deer fixed np, I commenced looking for
my pheasant; when I jerked its head off
its body went into a baud of quail., and
killed ten of them.”

A Washington correspondent of tb*
Augusta Conetitutionallet undertakes to
quiat tbe solicitude which has so often
found expression through the pros* and
tha people, as to the oonrse whioh Mr.
Stephen* will take in reference to the lata
military interference iu Louisiana. As
Mr. Stephens hsd apologised for Oauaral
Giant’s previous sots attaining Louisians,
this ganaral solicitude was a vary natural
on*. The correspondent doss not an-
swar tha inquiry—h* reports Mr. Steph
ens as ssying that he nsvor crosses a
stream before coming to it; that there
ar* occasions in th* Ufa of a great party
when silence, prudence and a masterly
inactivity are its highest polioy; that
“wild and fiery speaking on the Lonisi-
aua question, denunciations of Grant snd
ths military, and persistent filibustering
in tho House will rekindle tha, animosi
ties of the late straggle snd bring about a
condition of things that will lead the Re
publican* to rs-uominata Grant, whan
they do not want, but will take in order
to win, and who, in Mr. Stephens's opin
ion, is the strongost man they oan run.’
Mr. Btephens also said that if he did not
kuow when to spssk, then he hsd no bus
iness there.
This ia very iudefioito sa an snawsr to
the popular inquiry, and it is rather dam
aging to ths statement of “Specks,” cor
respondent of tlie Atlanta Herald, that
Mr. Stsphenb wss one of the most deter
mined ot the Democratic “filibusters" iu
the late struggle of parties iu tbo House.
But the correspondence of tbe Conetitu ■
tionaliet contains one statement that will
lie very gratifying to the frieuds ot Mr.
Stephens.and to the people of Georgia
generally. It is, that Mr. Stephens re.
garde tbs re-clcction of Grant by tha Rad
ical party as tbo greatest possible calam
ity whioh could befall tho country! That
is re-assuriug, for it must have reference
to tha course of Geu. Grant in tbe past and
to the despotio end nncoustitntion meas
ures which may be expected of him in
tbe fntnre. Wo hope that Mr. Stephen,
will not he crowded, bnt will be allowed
to take his own time.
Tuts Bouste of Alabama has repealed
those sections of the code giving a orop
lien, but the repeal ia not to take effect
nntil twelro mouths after the passage ot
l ho sot. The Honse Judioisry committee
reported against the immediate repeal of
the lien,nud tb. Hons* adopted th* report;
Thi Radical* in Congress chuckled
when they dore-tailed into their Civil
Rights bill a gpneral declaration from tha
Democratic national platform of 1872;
but the ainii* was not so pleasant when
Mr. Potter, of Naw York, asked them to
take a little more from tb* same platform’
and offerad this plank: “That local self-
government, with impartial suffrage, will
guard tha right* of all eitizena mors se
curely than any csntrslissd power.
They wouldn't taka that.
It is proposed in Congress to ioaress*
the dnty on sugar 10 per oant., and thus
secure an increase of *15,000,000 in tb*
revenue from imports. Moat ot the au
ger imported into tbia country is from
Cnba, and onr total imports from that
inland are stated by a Havana paper to be
*85,000,000 a year (we have not our own
official reports at hand for reference.)
Wall, if w* derive *15,000,000 or more
annnally from duties on imports from
Cnba, we will loss that mnch revenue
by annexing tha island, a. Geuer.l
Grant i* reported to be bent
doing. And as Cuba {gets most of its
Hour, bacon and other provisions from
this country nos, wa oannot expsot any
great increase of trade to follow annexa
tion. It seoma to ns like a proposition to
