There had been $100.000 of the state funds invested in 1O.4O bonds which were on deposit with the secretary of the treasury. What funds were now in the treasury would be paid out in nine months for the expenses of the. state. From the auditors books he ed timated the entire taxable property [, the state at $43, ,00O0 900 and tax of one-< half per cent would yield s2l5,OOO. He was satisfied that it was out of the power of the convention to take cent ont of the treasury.
 Mir. Cypert only asked time to in. vestigate the matter more thoroughly, and it could not be done before Mon day.
 The motion to postpone and print prevailed.
 Mir. Hutchinson (radicaD offered the following:
 Resolred, That no member be allowed to occupy the floor to exceed twenty minutes al any one time. except by consent oftEo-thirds of the members present.
 MT. Cypert said he was not long winded himself and did not think he would ever desire to speak over twenty nin hut other members he thought
 Ire more time, and subjects
 lscussed to which justice
 De done in that length of
 MT. Montgomery (radical,) would vote against it because he wanted some of the members to "blow off'' early in the session.
 Mir. Bradley did not desire to be put, as it were, in straight jacket ;and al. though he thought it improbable that he would ever desire to speak over twenty minutes, yet he did not want to be cut short. He wanted every thing he and others introduced sifted thor oughly, and not have ordinances rush. ed through in packages, as it were. Every man was making . record for himself here he and his posterit- must shoulder the responsibility of his acts and he would not therefore act hastily. He and his could not pack up and leave Arkansas ct moments notice; they were harnassed to the soil. He was not partizan, but was acting for his constituency and the people of Arkan- sas. and he would make haste slowly.
 MT. Hodges, of Pulaski, rather favor- ed the resolution. He thought if mem bers were making sensible speeches the convention would not hesitate to lengthen the time.
 Mir. Smith moved to table the reso- lution. Carried.
 Mir. Sarher introduced the following, which was adopted:
 Resolved, That the president of this convention appoint two additional members on the committee on appor- tionment. Adopted.
 Mir. Smith (radicaD offered resolu- tion to appoint committee of three 10 wait upon Gov. Murphy and General Smith and invite them to seats within the bar of the convention. Adopted, and Messrs. Smith. Bradley and Coats were named the committee, and retired on their mission.
 MT. Brooks moved to adjourn. There was a tie on division and the presi- dent voted in the negative.
 After the order of business was pro- ceeded with, and nothing further being introduced, MT. Can't moved to ad- iourn. which motion prevailed.

 A WHITE MAN's PARrY.-It will be seen from this issue of the Arkanslan that an earnest attempt is at last about to be made to organize white mans party in this State. This has already been too long delayed. Had such party been organized we would have voted down the Convention by 10000 major ity, and the oppressed taxpayer would have escaped the burdens he must now hear. for the qualification of few ig- norant adventurers, who vainly imag- inc they are fit for high official posi- tiona. and who expect to attain it by caioliug the simple-minded negro. and disfranchising the intelligent white man.
 This farce, called Convention, will cost the hard-working white men of the State not less than $150,000! and what is the object?-- place the ballot in the hands of 25.0oo negroes and take 1t out of the hands of 10000 white men.
 Shall this thing be? No! Come out, white men of Washington county. to the meeting on Saturday, the 18th inst. Let the people of the State know that this is still the banner white mans county of Arkansas. Come one! come ari It makes no difference whether you wore the gray or the blue, if you arc opposed to the iniquity of negro suffrage and the disfranchisement of white men. you will be welcome Fayetteville Arkansian.

The Pine Bluff Di.patch of the 4th inst.

The Fine blun DtsPdfch or the 4th Inst.' says:
 .sWe know of no contracts for lAbercrs for the current year having been made yet. This time last year. labor. labor, was the word; now it is not so. Then enough help could not be secured; now but few need what little is being offered, and very little that is relia- ble is on the market.
 -Ths Monticello Cuardsan, of the ith inst. says
 In consequence of the failurs in crops, and the depression of tho market. our farmers are backward in making contracts with freedmen. "A burnt child dreads the fire" is an aphsrism suited to the times, and believing that this retieeuee bodes no good to the freed people. ws would advise them to make early contracts on any terms they cen. otherwiss snfering and want will be thsir portion. "A meeting of the Republicans of Mar shall, Tsxas. on the sIst ult.. was broken up by . mob. Judge Caldwell, the speaker. was fired at several times. He sought protection at post headquarters. and the disiurbers were arrested by the military, but afterwards. by order of Gen. Hancock. turned over to tho civil authorities, who released them on bail.
