come famous, as he usually takes that occasion
to hint to the world what he intends to DO.
Since, however, his Mexican failure, and the
snub Bismark gave him, the Emperor has been

He thanked the diplomatic body for their

BAD STATE or AFFAIRS IN ARKANsAs.-
General Ord has Just made report upon the
condition of things in Arkansas. He sums up
matters as follows
"Outragss, assaults and murders committed
on the pe rsons of fire edmen and women, are
being continually reported from ell sections of
the state, and decided want of disposition 10
punish offenders apparently exists with the To-
cal civil officers and in the minds of the people.
There have been reported 6fty-two murders OF
freed persons by white men In this state in toe
past three or four months, and no reports have
been received that the murderers have been
imprisoned or punished. In some parts of the
state, particularly in the southwest and south
east, freedmen's lives are threatened if they
report their wrongs to the agent OF the bureau,
and in many instances the parties making Re
ports are missed and never heard of after ard {.
II is believed that the number OF murders re-
ported is not half the number committed dar-
ing the time mentioned
The Supreme Court have just decided that
1t is unconstitutional to punish individuals for
crime without a trial and this is tolerably
sound doctrine. Bat murderers of freedmen
can't be either convicted, or even SO much as
tried, ia Arkansas, reconstructed according to
the johnson method. Isn't President Johnson
guilty OF " high crime," for having thus LEFT
the " Freedmen . to the torture of these reb-
els +? If not, what is a IS high crime P"

RECONSTRUCTION.

The question OF reconstruction l., OF course,
stil the all-absorbing one, and the form OF
government to be given to The reoe! states Is
subject OF much discussion The majority
seem to favor the idea of terntorial govern
ments,-much change on this question being
manifested since last wrote you thereon
Knowing that under such alone. can protection
be guaranteed to the Uni; n men and coiored
people throughout the South. The committee
appointed TO investigate the murder OF UsIon
soldiers IN South Carolina, show that the lives
of soldiers are not safe in any place IN The
state, but that nofensive boys peaceaby puT
suing their line Of duty, have been shot and
killed, and the murderers, though Known, are
suffered to run at large. This Is the case IN
New Orleans where the murderous rioters are
pointe out daily on the streets. Something
must be dine and some form IF govelnm ent
adopted, by which the United 5 tates ca lay is
hands on these villains and punish Them 81
they deserve. Ii Is certain that no tribunal
but civil one could reach them, for slice the
Supreme Court have mAde their uneiied Fer

1t seems also that the Southern people n

ritnrial government. In a conversation with .
government official of Florida, be informed
me that the people OF that state tuliy expected
such disposition to be made of them, and
that Governor Walker told him oaly lew
