The ARKANSAS BILL-The following is the
bill as it passed both Houses. 1t is now with
the President:
''Whereas The people of Arkansas, as in pur-
suance of the provisions of an act entitled AN
act for the more efficient government Of the
rebel States passed March 2 1857 and the
act supplementary thereto, have framed and
adopted constitution of State government
which is republican in form, and the Legisla-
ture of said State has duly ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
proposed by the Thirty ninth Congress, and
known as article ID; therefore, SC, that the
State of Arkansas is entitled and admitted to
representation in Congress as one of the States
of the Union upon the following fundamental
condition: That the Constitution Of Arkansas
shall never be SO amended OF changed as to
deprive any citizen or class Of citizens in the
United States of the right to vote who are en-
titled to vote by the Constitution herein recog-
nized, except as a punishment for such crimes
as are now felonies at common law, whereof,
they shall have been duly convicted under
laws, equally applicable to all the inhabitants
of said State: Pro0ided, that any alteration Of
said Constitution, prospective in it's effect,
may be made in regard to time and place of
residence of the voters"

Butler at His Old Tricks.
CFrom thew ashington Express. I

Mr.. b. f. Butler, the Grand Mogul of the
Congressional smelling committee yesterday
again attempted to perform his role of brow
beating witnesses, but, if the statement is cor
rect, signally failed, and it is also reported
that he (Butler) endeavored to renew the per-
Torrance acted at New Orleans a few years
ago, which, if report is true, redounded to his
pecuniary advantage.
The afidavits published yesterday in the In
tettigemcer. which were presented by Mr. Wool
ley's counsel. excited the ire of the ubiquitous
General, and on yesterday all the parties nam
ed therein were subp@naed to appear before
this immaculate committee. One of the gem
tlemen called upon is known as q man of ster-
ling integrity, and who will not allow any one
to interfere with his rights as citizen and a
freeman. When this gentleman appeared in
thu room, Butler, walking the floor rapidly,
asked in gruf voice, 'sWhat have you been
doing in Washington so long?" The witness,
looking at him moment, answered quietly,
''None Of your business, sir
Butler at once became excited, and stamp
ing his foot on the floor, said that no imperti-
nence would be allowed.
After the Uictorioas General had rested for a
few moments the following questions were pro-
pounded:
Bmtler-What became of the money that
Mr.. Woolley left in his room on the centre
table?
Answer have it in my pocket.
Butler-Will you produce it and the envel-
ope containing the other papers?
Answer will produce the money, but the
papers you shall not have.
i The money was then laie on the table, am
ounting to ST., 100, in seventeen one thousand
dollar notes, and small bills making the one
hundred dollars.
Immediately after Butler received the mon
ordered the witness out of the room, but
lined to leave, giving as a reason that
itness) was responsible for the money,
could not leave it in his (Butler's)

to succumb, and the money was
N the custodian's presence.
Ddtler counted the money, the clerk of the
committee taking the numbers of the notes.
After the counting Butler, looking ssdeways,
said to the witness: / find, sir, here sixteen
thousand one hundred dollars.
Witness-Mr. Butler, if you will take the
trouble to look under that piece of paper near
you | think you will find a one thousand dol
lar note, which Ihave no doubt aoas placed there
through mistake.
General Logan, rising from the sofa, said,
Yes, Butler, / see one corner of it sticking
out.
Butler-Oh, yes; did not notice it before
After some unimportant questions this wit
ness was allowed to leave. but he took good
care to take the funds with him, remarking,
as he left the room, ssYou are smart, but not
sufficiently so to hold this money"

So As our readers are aware, the Senate
have refused to reappoint MIR. Stanbery Attor-
ney General, because he was hostile to the

said BY some, but most probably because he
had resigned his office for the purpose of aiding
in the defence Of the President in the mpeach-

doubt whether he will be confirmed, even-if

The Portland daily press., 1868-03-16

When General Mcclellan was relieved from
the command of the army, some of his subor-
dinates allowed their personal preiudices
against his successor to influence their action
to the great detriment of the Union cause
Fitz John Porter was guilty OF that great
crime, and has suffered punishment, however
inadequate. Those persons who at crisis like
this are actuated by like unworthy motives are
guilty of no less heinous crime. 1t is useless
to attempt an evasion of the responsibility that
attaches to such action by pleading that the
election to-day is local and on local issues
Whether this is true or not, the returns will
this very night be trumpeted from one end of
the country to the other as constituting Re
publican or Democratic gictory. If the latter
an extravagant hypothesis, we admit-some
good Republicans will not greatly felicitate
themselves that they contributed to Copper
head victory, because they didn't like the caadi-

THE CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINF.-This new en-
CINE, Lapham & Clarks patent, was testsd
Saturday afternoon, on Munjoy Hil in the
presence of quite large crowd of spectators.
The engine is small hand machine, very
easily worked, and always available at very
short notice. So far as we could Judge the ar
rangements for the test were as fair as they
could be made. at least affording as severe
trial as We have ever seen in cases of the kind.
The fire was made of a large number of tar
barrels partially filed with shavings soaked
with kerosene oil. OF course, when kindled,
the heap was in few seconds all ablaze
When the chemi ,al stream was applied, as it
seemed to US little premature, the kerosene
being just about consumed and the wood not
being thoroughly kindled, the fire certainly
went out with marvellous quickness. In less
than a minute the blaze was completely sub
dued. The pile was then allowed to get pretty
well on fire again, and the blaze was again ex-
| tinguished but not quite so quickly. If this
is perfectly fair test of the merits of such an
engine, it certainly is great success, but of
this point experienced firemen and engineers
must be the judges. Such an engine, acting
promptly and efficaciously as the proprietors
assert, and placed in public buildings, manu-
factories, etc, would save millions of property
annually.
The engine Will be on exhibition for few
days at the Merchants Exchange

The business men of the country demand

are not Radicals by any manner of means
yet they have prescience enough to know that
SO long as johnson is in the White Houee
there is no guaranty for the continu.
ance Of peace or the safety of business enter
prises. "Burleigh," writing to the Boston
Journal from New York. says:
The impeachment has become popular in
this city. Leading merchants, who have every
thing at stake, owing to their business, sucf
men as Stewart, Dodge, and others, express
their belief openly that the impeachment is
demanded for the quiet of the country and the
revival of trade. Our best business men say
the removal of the President, so far from agi-
tating the country, will give it repose and will
not even disturb the gold market.
The business men of this city are generally
of the same opinion. 1t is of great import
ance, then, that all elections, including even
those that are strictly local, should result in
such way as to leave no doubt in any quar-
ter as to whether Congress is endorsed or re-
buked. They greatly err who insist that the
election in this city has no nation al signif-
canoe, and that any individual is therefore at
liberty to indulge his personal preferences,
however much he has the general cause of
Republicanism at heart. Certainly the cleo
ton of Putnam as Mayor would not be an in
dication that the people of Portland oppose
impeachment and reconstruction, but it aoould
be so construed by persons abroad, who are
strangers to our local dissensions. Let it be
remembered that the municipal elections in
our small towns have been made the subject

papers make no more such Democratic capital
out of Portland, but let the election be true

ment and other national questions. soil
