MOVEMENTS AMONG WoRKINGMEN.-
Facts show that just at this time the la
boring classes of all civilized nations are
in ferment, and are demanding better
remuneration and shorter hours of work.
In Paris alone thirty thousand tailors
are on strike; in London eight thou
sand of the same craft are demanding
more wages. Scores of other trades are
disorganized for the same reason, and
the movement is spreading to the entire
laboring community. Even the agri-
cultural laborers of England-the most
ignorant and stupid peasants on earth,
not excepting the plantation negroes
have actually demanded enough more
to give them another pot of porter per
day. In this country, high prices have
led to very, general striking, and the
eig ht-hour-law agitation has resulted in
riots and great industrial disorganiza-

Fourth Military District.

THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE DISSOLVED.
just as we go to press We have received
the information that Governor Murphy has
issued proclamation, based upon an order
from General Ord, dissolving the Legislative
body of the State, and transferring the pub
lie treasury in the hands of Colonel Page,
OF the Quartermaster's Department of the
United States army. We have not been able
to obtain a copy Of the proclamation, and
give the above as its substance upon infor-
mation.-Helcna (ArAunsas) Clarion, May l..
We trust the same thing will be done in
North Carolina, and that if the commanding
General does not take this step the Congress
will. Our taxes, federal and State, are
enormous. The State is now about to COL
lect some four or five hundred thousand dol
lars out of our people, under tax-bill pass
ed by the rebel Legislature at its last session.
Much of this money is not needed, even if
the present rebel organization is to be con-
timed. 1t is hard that the loyal people of
this State should be ruled by rebels. We
trust, at least, that the rebel Legislature of
this State will not be allowed to re-assemble
in August next.

RALEIGH. n. g.
$ ATURDAY, MAY 18th, 1867.
80 How are the Mighty Fallen 20

Jefferson Davis, once the President of the
so-called Confederate States, will soon be
placed on trial for the crime of High Trea-
son. Three years ago Mr.. Davis welded
imperial power. Vast armies of freeborn
Americans obeyed his nod, and his word was
law to eight millions of people. He involv-
ed his country in war to secure the right to
carry slavery into new regions, and to render
it perpetual and predominant on this CONT
nent. Behold the result. The cause which
Mr. Davis advocated, and maintained for
years in council and on the battlefield, has
ANONYMOUSLY failed. The people whom he
sought to continue forever in slavery, are
now free; and some Of these very people,
once slaves, constitute a part of the jury that
will try him for the crime of treason. He is
about to he taken from his place of confne-
ment in Fortress Monroe, to be brought to
Richmond for trial, and it is stated that he
will be consigned to the Libby prison, the
place in which so many victims of his
usurped power suffered from cold and hun
ger under the hand of brutal jailors 1t is
also singu lar fact that John Minor Bolts,
who is the foreman of the jury to try
Mr.. Davis, was confined by Mr.. Davis in this
very prison for his Union sentiments.
In beholding slcA II spectacle all human
resentment dies. No sharper pang could be
inflicted on so proud spirit than the con-
seriousness that he is pitied by those whom
he has ruined, and over whom he once held
the tyrants lash.
To descend from great things to small, we
may mention that only six months ago JON
athan Worth, the Governor, so called, of
this State, deliberately suggested in his
people were in the way in North Carolina,
and ought to be distributed" throughout
he country. But Congress conferred upon
the colored people the right of suffrage,
and soon after this, Governor Worth
called meeting of this people and address
ed them, urging them to vote with him.
The colored people heard him patiently and
respectfully. and then unanimously declared
they would not vote with him. In the
course of his remarks to the colored people
this Governor, so-called who was so AFRO
giant six months before, and who had pro-
posed that this people should be gotten out
of the State. was so reduced and so meek in
his bearing that, to sustain his character,
and TO make good his statement that he was
peculiarly their friend, he referred to one OF
his own servants, and told every one who
was disposed to doubt his word to Task
Stephen if what he said was not so. Verify,
a great change has come over the dreams of
certain people during the last six months.
Glow are the mighty fallen in the midst
of the battle! 0 Jerusalem, thou vast slain
in thy high places"

RIOT IN RIcHMoND.-A telegram from
Richmond states that on Thursday evening
last riot occurred in that City, among the
colored people and police. On Gary street
large concourse had gathered to see the
trial between the fire engine companies of
Richmond and one from Wilmington, Della
ware. A fight took place and negro was
arrested. So says the telegram. The negro
was rescued by the police and recaptured
and again rescued. Gen. Schofield with a
company of soldiers finally dispersed the
rioters. Nobody was killed, but several in
jured. We await further particulars by
mail.

Highly Important-Trial of Jefferson

Term-Chief Justice Chase will Pre-
side I!
We have received from most trustworthy
source of communication, the following facts
which NAV be relied on-at least such is the
decision at present on the programme, and
it will, we are assured, not be changed, except
for grave reasons:
Jefferson Davis will be tried at the pres
cnt term of the Circuit court, which COM
menced its session in this city yesterday, Ell
ther on the d" Norfolk Indictment" or new
one to be presented by the John Minor
Bolts" Grand Jury, empannelled yesterday.
L. II. Chandler, the District Attorney OF
the United States for this District, is now in
the city of New York in consultation with
Mr. Evarts, the Association Counsel, with a
view to comparing notes and preparing the
line of prosecution.
AS soon as the Supreme Court at Wash
ington adjourns, which will he at an early
day, Chief Justice Chase will at once take
his seat on the bench of the Circuit Court
at Richmond, and the trial will commence.
The term of this Circuit Court will be a
very long one, continuing through many
weeks and the most interesting, from the
above facts, ever held.
In view of these facts, it is probable the
application on a writ of habeas corpus will
be denied.
The above is from the Richmond Erami-
ner. 1t may be that Mr.. Davis will be tried
at the present term of the Court in Rich
mond, but there is no certainty about it.
