Pertinent Tnnniries.

The editor Of the Lebanon Star asks
the following natural aud proper ques-
tions, in regard to the late Treasury
investigation, and the gentlemen who
figured most prominently thegein
A Resolution was introduced into
the Legislature, by Republican NOM
Der, cllling on Morgan and Edgerton to
testify in the Treasury swindle. Why
was rot this resolution put through,
and compel these two men to testify 20
what they know in this matter2 They
are certainly very important witnesses.
Morgan was Auditor Of State while
Mr. Breslin was Treasurer, and Edger-
ton was State Transfer Agent, at New
York, and consequently knew a good
deal about Breslin's stoalings. We
opine the reason the Democratic Legis-
laiurt refuse to put these men on the
stand, is that they feared they knew a
little too much for all practical purposes;
and itis very likely these gentry we're
made the Committee Of Investigation,
/ by the Legislature, to prevent this un-
pleasant dilemma in the first place
This refusal of the Legislature to dis
gorge these men of what they know in
relation to this swindle, comes to the
people with rather a bad grace, when il
is made known by their own letters
that they were so intimately connected
with Breslin through his term of Office
and knew he was a defaulter long before
his term expired There is something
suspicious about this matter.
The Star Further asks:
How is it that none of the Democrat
ic papers lay before their readers the let
ters of Morgan and Edgerton, showing
that these worthless are alike crimina
with Gibson in the robbery Of the Stat
| Treasury?
The Legislature certainly made
great mistake in putting on their Smell
ing Committee these two hounds, VIII
were as deep 10 the mud, as the animal
to be hunted we're in the mire Mur

Of Saturday evening, says:
Much interest is felt in the reported
Cuba movements, and for reason shat
they are involved in mystery if they
have any foundation at all; but IL is
said that secret associations have been
organized in every part Of the Island
during the last five years, the object of
which is to effect a general and stimuli
taneous revolt. 1t also said that by
some cautious and concealed arrange
ments the disafected Cubans have been
supplied with arms and ammunition
but military and naval men who know
we'll what means Spain and the Cuban
authorities possess for suppressing OF
preventing insurrection, declare the
opinion that the attempt of the revo.
lutionists, if it be made, will be utterly
futile.
Should the insurrection become seri

As the Arkansas Legislature has pass
ed law compelling all free negroes in

being free, advertiscs as follows:

Little Rock, Feb. l6, 1859.
The Little Rock Gazette and Demo
crat (and it is the Democratic State or
GAM thus comments:
"Henry King is a free colored man
and, in obedience to the late act Of the
Legislature, is making preparations foi
leaving the State. We have known him
from our boyhood, and take the great
est pleasure in tesdfying to his good
character. Wherever he may 60, W,
wish him well, and the community il
which he casts his lot will always b
blessed with that 'noblest work Of God,

No State can afford to ezpel such in
habitants as Mr.. King, who is undOubt
edly a person as worthy of the respec
and confidence of his felIow-meB as tn
Legislators who decreed that he mus
no longer cucumber with his free limb
the sacred soil of Arkansas.
The Gazette and Democrat states th
provisions Of the free negro bill, whic'
has become q law, as follows
"The Legislature has passed a bili {
ezpel free negroes from tho State The

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE Con-

will be found a proposed amendment
to the Constitution, which is to be sub
mitted to the people at the next Fall
election The amendment passed the
Legislature at its late session, and if
ratified by the people, win become a
part of the fundamental law of the
State. The inconvenience Of biennial
sessions is now so generally admitted
chat the amendment will probably be
adopted without serious opposition.
