. Arkansas has reconstructed herself, so far as
the law leaves reconstruction In the hands of
the States concerned, and is ready to come in.
She has accepted all the terms. She has made
q government Republican in FORM" which
means government in which all the niggers
can vote and many of the white men cannot.
She has chosen a Legislature that is not only
republican in FORM" but radical in spirit. And
thus, sure Of the Legislature, sure of the mig
ger, sure of the constitution of the State, the
radicals in Congress are solemnly satisfied that
Arkansas is all right and that she may come
in and participate in the wonderful lawmaking
that's done at Washington Being satisfied
and having the majority, the rest followed, Of
course. 2Thad Stevens said it, and who should
object Some democrats said no, and Stevens
graciously gave them two hours, coupling this
with warning to his radical kenuel to keep
ont Of the discussion altogether, and signid-
cantly intimating that any man who ventured
to take up the time of the House on the, dis
cussion would be regarded as not quite sound
in the radical doctrine. This is q fearful
threat just now, when, johnson is so nearly out
and Wade Is 30 nearly in, and everybody is so
near toa new shuttle and deal of the cards of
Presidential patronage. Arkansas, therefore,
is the frst SiateL the initial point Of the pro
gramme Of reconstruction that the radicals
have finally takeaup--the State that they be-
lieve they have fully prepared and that they
are willing to try. How successfully they have
prepared it is TO be seen. ,,'rgsrf ,1r 8
Mr.. Stevens Arkansas bill involves the same
open absurdity in itsf terms, the same ridicu-
lous proposition, that was the main point in the
Alabama bill presented and withdrawn some
weeks since. 1t proposes to admit the State
for reason and on fundamental condition. "
The reason Is that the State has duly ratined
the fourteenth amendment; the condition Is
that the State shall never change the oonstitu-
tion under which It is admitted so as TO deprive
OF the suffrage any man now entitled TO it.

Qg louHgg 81 which Islands. 20 90 yfr "
=, Our correspondent at Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands, in his. letter Of April 8, published in
our issue of yesterday, mentioned that the
great crater of Kilauea ron Mauna Loa was in
action, and that terrible volcanic eruption was
expected. VI By special telegram from Homo
lulu via San Francisco, received last night we
are informed that the volcano was in full action,
and that the scene was one of unsurpassed
grandeur. The eruption began on the 9th of
March and continued in full force when our
despatch was sent april 15). During twelve
days not less than two thousand shocks of
earthquake had taken place; huge mountains
and hills had been rent asunder, steep
precipices had been levelled, and the entire
topography Of the island changed. Streams of
lava, had been thrown from the crater to
height Of one thousand feet and after falling had
descended the mountain, whence they flowed to
the sea, driving the waters back and forming
point one mile in length. At the village of
earth assunder, and tidal wave over sixty
feet iu height swept inwards, rising over the
tops of the cocoanut trees and carrying death
and destruction to persons, animals and pro-
perty for aquarter of q mile. One hundred per-
sons lost their lives, and the destruction of
property was large. A river Of liquid fire had
pushed out into the sea at Waischina for three
miles, and a volcanic island conical in shape,
had risen suddenly from the midst of the ocean.
Such, in brief, is the substance Of the news.
It is evident that the eruption, which was still
actively at work when the despatch left, is the
greatest and most terrible one Of modern days.
The rapidity with which the earthquake shocks
followed each other, the immense streams of
lava hurled upwards to . greater height than
was ever known before, the earth torn and rent
asunder, and the submits of lofty mountains
toppling over and falling to their base, must all
have formed Q spectacle as magnificent as it
must have been terrible. The eruption Is un-
precedented in the annals of modern history.
Since the destruction of Pompeii and Hercula
neum there has not been, as our reports would
indicate, so gigantic convulsion Of nature, nor,
indeed, anything approximating 10 the event
which has transpired and is perhaps still trans
piring in the Sandwich Islands. In 1859 the
same volcano was the scene of q fearful erup-
ton which lasted for over nine months, but 1t
appears as If the present one exceeds 1t in
magnitude in every respect b1B noi.e

States. Under that amendment the States have
power to regulate the suffrage as they please.
They are to be admitted because they have
ratified that amendment but on condition
that they shall not avail themselves of its
terms and shall leave the suffrage absolutely
as It is. Gould visionary nonsense touch

In the case Of Arkansas the reasons that
prevented the admission Of. Alabama do not
exist. Arkansas has q radical Legislature and
is in radical hands altogether, and though the
general in command out there will not admit
that the election is valid, that matters but
little to the party in power. Arkansas win
soon be in the Union, and we hope that her
advent will open the way. to the admission of
all the unrepresented States on any terms or
conditions whatever. But once In, something
win, perhaps, be seen in those States that viii
astonish the radicals. We have no doubt that
every Southern State that votes on the Presi-'
dency win 60 against the republican candidate.
Every election shows that only fraction Of
the registered vote IL cast. 4 More men are
registered in every State than vote; and in
Alabama there were seventy thousand votes
legally on the register that were not brought
out in the contest for the constitution. This is
so much unused power Of the opposition; for
all the votes not cast are against the radicals.
Radicalism brings out its entire vote every
where, but the opposition does not use it's
strength against these constitutions. 1t waits
to get in, sure that the constitutions can be
taken care of in the future. But struggle
that will certainly call out all the powers Of the
opposition is that for the Presidency. In the,
Presidential canvass it is certain that full
vote will be thrown; all the opposition will be
brought out, all that reserved power that ap-,
pears in the difference between the returns Of
registered voters and the returns of votes cast
will be employed, and the result will be the
defeat Of the republican candidate in every
Southern State, We shall yet see this party
of fanatics put down by the combined action
of united South and Northern minority %,

The dead person was bent forward by de-

A Scafold Scene.

A terrible scaffold scene recently took
place at TambOw, in Russia. Young
GOrski, a pupil of the high school of that
place, and eighteen years of age, was to
be executed for having murdered fami-
ly of seven persons. The young criminal
was conveyed to the place of execution on
a wagon which was escorted by compan
of Dragons. The gallows was surround
ed by crowd of ten thousand persons.
After the doomed lad alighted from the
wagon, the sentence of death was read to
him, He was deadly pale and tainted
before the warrant was through. The ex-
ecutiOner then branded him, after he had
been restored to consciousness :. the boy
struggled violently and uttered heart rem
dering screams when the red hot iron was
applied to his forehead. He was then
whipped, receiving about thirty lasbes.
The executioner thereupon undressed him
and wrapped him in long white blanket,
tied his feet together, attached the rope
to his neck and drew the blanket over his
head. He then lifted him on top of
step-ladder and was about to push him
from it when the Secretary of the Crimi-
nal Court stepped forward and told the
executioner to stop. The excitement of
the crowd had reached the highest pitch
by this time, and it seemed us if all the
ten thousand persons around the gallows
we're holding their breath. The execu-
toner lifted the lad from the step-hdder,
removed the blanket from his face, which
was livid and distorted with fear, and
then the Secretary read to him letter
from the Emperor changing his sentence
to hard labor for life. The executioner
then united his feet, gave him thirty more
lashes-the sentence having ordered that
he should receive sixty lashes-and then
clad him in the convicts dress and chained
his legs. He was there-upon taken back
to his cell, and two days afterward sent
to Siberia.

Murder Will Ont.
From the Boston Traveller.l

From the Boston Traveller.l
Our citizens may remember the murder
of man named Maurice Foley, which
occurred near the junction of South and
Essex streets, about four years ago, and
also the fact that his murder was never
discovered. The murdered man, Foley,
had on his pOrsOn about $40 in money,
which was the cause of his death. y
young Irishman, who had been ill for some
time and was in needy circumstances, had
an entertainment given for his benefit in
Warren Hall, in South street. There
was a large attendance, and when the
meeting broke up the proceeds to the
amount above mentioned we're given to
Foley. He departed with the rest at
about two o'clock in the morning, and
when near Essex street he was shot and
fell insensible. Officer Mcdonald, of the
Fourth station, heard the report Of the
pistol and saw the flash, and Immediately
started for the vicinity, and as he APP
preached the spot he was informed By a
woman that the murderer had fed down a
certain street. He followed, but the man
made good his escape. On his return to
Essex street the officer picked up Foley
and conveyed him to HammOnd's apothe-
cary store, where he died in few minutes.
The deceased was buried but all search
for his murderer was unavailing. Through
all these months and years the detectives
have been upon his track, however, and a
few days since it was ascertained that he
was in Philadelphia. Detective Jones
and officer Mcdonald visited that city re-
Gently with requisition, and arrived
home with the alleged murderer, William
j. Fulton, this morning. The accused
was arranged in the Municipal Court this
forenoon, charged with the willful murder
of Maurice Foley with a pistol, and fully
committed to await the action of the grand
jury. At the time of the murder, which
was at 2 A. NJ, on the LIST of October,
1864, Fulton was Lieutenant in COM
pany which was quartered in the Beach
street barracks, and did not belong in
Boston. He left the city on the day of
the murder, and there is said to be heavy
weight of testimony against him.

A Murder,
From the Cincinnati Commercial Oct. 2sth.l

From the Cincinnati Commercial OCT. 2sth.l
Coroner Emmert concluded his inquest
on the body of Henry Porter yesterday
morning. From the testimony elected,
it appears that the deceased, colored
man tweuty-nine years old, was second
steward on the steamer Charmer, a boat
playing between this city and Evansville,
Indiana. At noon, week ago to-day,
for some reasen unknown, Porter dis
charged yoans man by the name of
Henry Morgan, who was employed on the
steamer as berth-maker. High words
arose between them, and as Morgan left
the boat he remarked that he would "get
even with Portea. "About4 o'clock in the
afternoon, as the boat was on the point Of
starting on her downward trip, Morgan
was seen by several of the deck-hands,
lettering about the gangway He disap-
peared from their sight for few minutes,
but was soon observed running from the
boat to the shore. One of the cabin boys
met him, and injured whether he had
had his supper He replied that he had
not but would soon be back to get it. He
continued to run up the levee, and was
lost 10 the crowd He has not been seen
since that time. Shortly after he had
left the boat, P rter was found in the
kitchen weltering in his own blood, and
insensible, from horrible wound in the
head. He was taken to his home, where
he died, from the effects of the Wound,
last Saturday morning. A few hours be-
fore his heath, and while he was perfectly
c,nsi)us of what he was saying, he stated
to DR. Quener and to others who were near
him, that the wound from which he vas
suffering was inflicted BY MOrgans's strik-
ing him on the head with a potatO-niash-
er.
A post mortem examination showed
that his death was caused by fracture Of
the skull, produced by blunt instrument,
welded with considerable force.
The verdict of the jury was that OF tho
deceased came to his death from blow on
the bead, struck BY Horny Morgan
