Our Little Rock Correspondence.

LITTLE Rock, ARKs., Nov IS, 1866.
MR. EpircG :--Some DAYS ago Col
Brooks of Washington county, introiuc
cd resolution to raise joint committe,
of both Houses, to inquire into the lc
gality Of Mr.. Shows election to the oilic,
of United States Senator. The Commit
tee appointed under this resolution re
ported to-day 1t is ascertained by ref
erence to the records. that Snow was
elected by less than constitutional quo
rum, and both Houses have adopted tho
resolution offered by the Committee, to
go into an election for two United States
Senators next Tuesday. Several caucuses
have been held to determine who are the
strongest candidates, but nothing definite
has as yet been developed No one man
seems to stand any better show than any
one else. All candidates have their
friends. and all will undoubtedly receive
some votes think either Tebbtets or
Batson will be the man for the North
West the former has more positive gen
eral strength. The iist contest i'll the
race for Senatorial honors, viii in my
opinion, be between Tebbetts and Gar
land, or Batson and Garland; it will be
narrowed down to this, after few ex-
perimental ballotings.
Tebbetts' chances are improving; in
deed, l believe they are as good rs any
body's, Thomson has enthusiastic
friends who may put his name in nomi-
nation; he is one Of the strong men from
your section, and may carry off the prize
yet.
Col. JAMES r PETTIGREw os Fayctte-
VILE has been favorably mentioned by
the Conservative and Dispatch of this
CITY, for the Office Of 1t. Governor Of the
State. He is well known all over the
State as gallant soldier, man of first
rate ability, and of great popularity. |
don't know that Col. Pettigrew would
consent to be a candidate for the posi-
zion, but if he should, believe he would
be elected without difficulty. r
Here is what the Little Rock Conserv-
ativc, says Of Col Pettgrew:
Col. JAMES PETTIGREw.-A city CO.
temporary mentions the name Of this gal
liant, worty, and distinguished gentleman,
in connection with the Office of 1t. Coy.
ernor. His talents and patriotism quail
| fy and entitle him to the confidence and
support OF the people of Arkansas,
Should he become a candidate for 1t
Governor, or any other position, he
would receive, as he deserves, large
and enthusiastic support from the peo-
pie ..

A GREAT TRUTH.-A greater truth wa

A GREAT TRUrH.--A greater truth was
never uttered than the following from the
Springfield, Mass, Republican:
"rhe men who put down the rebellion
do not join in the demand for the future
punishment Of the rebels, but if there is q
General who never won battle, n soldier
who invariably skulked when fighting

ever on hand to plunder towns. some
treasury agent or his pimp, who has en-
riched himself by levying black mail on
traders or the inhabitants Of the South,
a civilian who was ready to pour out the
blood of everybody else to save the na-
tion-these are the men who are now
eager to kick the PROSTATE foe and con-
fiscste his yaluables-these are the men
who are continually making abortive at

popular heart to yengance."

Amendments aud some of is objection.
able political features, it is very clever,
sensible paper, commendable for its
pla;nness and evincing some ability The
Governor has made some suggestions
that call for legislative delibcration and
action. The Revenue Laws, require
looking after; uniformly in Taxation,
should be considered; re. organization
of the Land Departments extremely nee
essary; the lands donated for Education
al purposes and Internal improvements
have been neglected, and the funds have
not been appropriated wisely; persons
indebted to the State for lands, should
be made to pay. But we do not see the
point of dragging all debtors to Little
Rock to settle what they owe. So far
as his remarks on the reduction Of taxes
90, it would do very well ordinarily no
doubt the tax paving community would
prefer to have surpluscs in the Treasury.
judiconsly expended, but in their pres
ent depressed circumstances, they are
not anxious to be oyertaxed, unnecessa

excite the greed Of the Jackals that prowl
around it, ..r
His suggestion on the subject of pop.
ular education are good 1t isa very i'm.
portant interest and requires mature de
liberation, and should not be hastily act
oil on, and we hope the Legislature will
not give it the 60 by. The sparsty OF
the population outside Of the towns,
makes it difficult to mature system of
Common Schools like some of the older
States, yet something should be done to
keep the fund from wasting until such
time as one can be perfected Anything
however would be preferable to the pres.
ent tplan. He calls attention to the grants
OF lands donated by Congress for an Ag-
ricultural College-our farming interest
has suffered much by neglect, and We
think they have right to demand Of this
Legislature liberal appropriations for this
purpose, and we are sure, there would be
no act that would give more general sat.
