The Arkausas Consultation.

We have received from Little Rock an OIL
cial copy of the new " constitution of the State
of Arkansas as adopted by the Convention,
February IL, 1868" II is pamphlet OF
twenty-eight pages, including q short "Ad-
dress of the Republican State Central Com
mittee." On the title page we find this pen
cilling, See page 15--article on franchise |;
acknowledge your error and make the omendc
honorable" Turning to page 10 we ind
pasted thereon an editorial from the HERALD,
which refers to this new Arkansas constitution
as comforting the right of suffrage upon women,
and below we find Article VIII. OF said con-
stitution on the franchise, which, upon six
months residence and as an actual resident, con-
fers the right of suffrage upon every male citi-
zen of the United States, native or naturalized,
or who has declared his intention to become
citizen, excepting certain United States
soldiers and sailors and certain classes OF DIS
franchised ex-rebels, &c. II thus appears tna'
the information which led us to rejoice over
the adoption of female suffrage in the Arkansas

and iron-clad rebel rams and floating batteries,
and ships and RATS of fire. But he went
through, and that was the opening of the Missis-
sippi at the lower end, as Grants first great
fight at Fort Donelson was the opening at the
upper end of the rebel confsderacy. Nelson's
battle of the Nile, where, at q venture, he ran
his lighting ships between the French line and
the shore, was bold and brilliant ssat ~. It
is totally eclipsed by Farrasut, lashed in the
shrouds e. his good ship Hartford, while
engaged in running the torpedoes with his
wooden feet and in reducing the forts and
batteries and rebel iron-clad rams and works Of
Mobile bay.
These achievements have made Admiral Far
ragut king of the sea at every port and court
where he has touched in Europe. The great
Powers of that Continent seem to be impressed
with the idea that with Farragut at the head of
our navy we can defy the world upon the
water, as with Grant at the head of our
armies we can defy European coalition on
the land. Farragut, then, is the man for the
opposition. His name and fame, we say,
would enable them to divide the honors and
glories of the war with Grant; and then the
navy, the right arm of our national defence, is
entitled to President. Let the opposition
forces, then, combine on Farragut and fight the
fight against the radicals of a qualified negro
suffrage against universal negro suffrage and
Southern negro supremacy, and with Farragut,
if elected, his native State of Tennessee and
the country will be amply compensated for the
loss of Andrew johnson.

The Legislature is exercising itself i'm
mensely on the subject of New York city rail-
roads. All manner of schemes and plans to
deface and ruin the city have been proposed.
Here is the Cauldwell plan of an underground
line on the east side from Harlem to the lower
end of town, which passed the Senate yesterday
by a vote of twenty-five to two; and Vanden-
burg's scheme for Broadway tunnel road,
which stands behind in the discussion and then
comes the most absurd and nefarious job of
all-the Arcade Railroad"-by which it is
contemplated to take the very bowels out of the
principal portion of the city, and subject to the
chances of annihilation the whole of Broadway
now engaged in taking testimony upon this
proposition, and of course the opinions are
varied according to the interests represented
by the witnesses and the hopes they have of
getting finger in the job; but there is one
witness who has no interest in any Of these
schemes, and whose judgment and discretion
the public have good reason to trust, and that
is Mr.. Craven, the engineer of the Croton Board.
There is, probably, no man of more experience
in such matters, and certainly none whose
engineering skill can be more relied upon.
What says Mr.. Craven? That not building
on Broadway will be safe-not even Trinity
church steeple-if the proposed plan Of UNDER
mining the street Is carried out He says further
that II is wholly impossible to ventilate such q
road as is proposed; in fact, his statement sug-
gests the idea that passengers travelling upon
II would be liable to suffer by asphyxia and
no doubt this view would be sustained by
eminent medical men. Until we are prepared
to see all the property on Broadway destroyed,
and millions of money sunk In this wicked and
impracticable scheme for the benefit of few
unscrupulous and unprincipled spectators,
we cannot consent to 30 nagitious an undertake
| ing as the proposed Arcade Railroad. If the
bill should pass there will be general evacua-
ton Of oil the stores on the great commercial
highway of the metropolis. Real estate
owners have been already notified by their
tenants that they will vacate the premises now
occupied by them If the project is to be carried
| out.

plan we do not see how the Senate Committee
can report in favor Of IL except their judgment
is affected by the process suggested by old
Mr.. Glenn, in the House, Of manipulating COM
mittees-a charge which, Of course, cannot be
laid to the door of so august and honorable q
body as the Senate. In the whole list Of pro-
posed railroads there is not one so monstrous
as this. All the corruption Of the lobby appears
to be brought to bear upon 1t and yet the aim Of
the corruptionists and spectators is probably,

the arcade monstrosity as a cloak to cover
their designs. All Of these railroad bills
are just SO many ingenious swindles to get

share Of the spoils as guild pro quo for the
advocacy Of the schemes.

Fhe perfect quiet and order which reign in
thb city are conclusive of the falsity of the
cfsuge that the Democracy have had any set
purpose to keep the Radicals from the polls
on Tuesday. The people of New Orleans de-
plfre violence and bloodshed, and they deeply
reBret the unfortunate occurrences of few
dtys ago. But they know that, under the
same provocations that existed here, with the
sane causes of excitement and incentives to
conflict, other communities would have been
stirred even to revolution. The Democracy
w{nt peaceful, quiet election. They want
fun vote to be cast, and they will resolutely
ser their faces against anything which may
dtcredit their cause in the eyes of the
cduntry.

The Republican is fretted because the
CRESCENT asserts that the white people are
the only people of Louisiana. Were not the
white people the only people ten years ago?
And if so, how did the blacks come to consti-
tute portion of the people? Of course the
Radicals will say that they were made so by
the potent influence of the late lsmented Lin
coins proclamation and the reconstruction
measures of a "trooly loil" Congress. But
it takes something more than proclamation,
even though it be signed by the departed
Lincoln, aud than statute, even though it be
the act of a Radical Congress, to transform
an ignorant, servile population into spec
pie" Legislative acts and military force may
give the negroes something which is called
right to vote, and carpet-baggers and scala
wags may lead them up to the polls and
instruct them how to deposit their ballots ;
but no such expedients can ever make them
anything else than an intrusive and anoma-
lous element in political community of
white people, trained by tradition, by
inheritance and by custom to the ex-
ercise of political rights. Negroes may
vote as much and as long as you please; they
may vote early and vote often; they may put
carpet-baggers and scalawags into pleasant
and profitable places, to the great delectation
ofthe "trooly loil" politicians, and the great
expansion of "trooly loil" pockets; but they
will never constitute any portion of the people
of Louisiana. The Republican thinks that
this view ie fhe sOurce of all our troubla az
On the contrary, the source of our troubles is
that Radical theorizers have attempted an i'm
possible task, and Radical Adventures have
tried to complete it by substituting for the
real political community of the State, mi
nority composed of a population which has
none of the characteristics and none of the
qualifications of people" in the sense
in which that term is used, in civilized coun-
tries.

dispatches say that the vote of New York
ely will probably reach 100000. In that
case the Democratic majority will be 10000.
In Brooklyn it will be at least 20, 600, and in
tse river counties 1900 more-say los 900
ts Albany. This will give the State to Sey-
n our by at least 40, 600 majority. The great
Empire State will, on Tuesday next, array
hsrself on the side of Seymour and constitu-
tbnal liberty, by majority which will carry
tGSror into the Radical ranks.

1.-THE Radical way to elect candidates to
Congress is not to put legal votes into the
bfllot-box. but to count their successful oppo-
nfnts out The Radical way to carry an
election. is not to go to the polls and vote
HIT to stay at home on election day. Its a
peasant way and saves good deal of SUPER
faous trouble and expense.
