The Arkansas TroubTes-Rep0rt OF
General Grants Staff 0fsicer-The
Govsrnor Sustained History OF the
Affair.
r. WAsR1NaTos, January To General Per-
ter, of General Grants staff, reports Of
ficially from Little Rock, Ark, concerning
Governor Clayton's militia. He says the
present State government is certainly in
danger. Previous to the Presidential
election Senator Barker and Repre-
sentative Uphsm had been wounded,
Hines (member of Congress) killed, and
the Freedmen's Bureau agents and United
States marshals driven away by threats.
The Governor RETAINED from violence
until after the election, fearing the
opposition might make capital out Of it.
After the election WAS over he organized
militia force of 500 men, one-fourth of
them being colored, with orders to live off
the country, taking what was absolutely
necessary and giving vouchers TO the Go
vernon, intending to pay all the loyal hold
ers Of vouchers. Only two aasassins have
already been executed by sentence Of mill
tary commission. Seventeen are in prison,
and number of others have been run out
of the State.
General Porter says the best result he
gees is the disposition Of nearly all the bu-
siness men voluntarily to enroll themselves
as posse pledged to assist the sheriff to
arrest lawless characters if the Govern
ment will relieve them Of martial law.
The Governor has accepted many such
pledges, and martial law now exists in
parts Of but seven counties. The entire
conservative wing Of the Republican party
was opposed to the declaration Of martial
law.
The militia have been under tolerably
good control, and the plundering reported
in the press is the taking of supplies under
orders. One negro militiaman who raped
a white woman was promptly arrested,
tried, and executed.
General Porter further states that the
Governor is anxious to relieve each county
from martial law as soon as it is safe. He
could seldom secure good men for officers,
and in the eastern counties had to depend
upon negroes for soldiers. The Governors
policy has no doubt seriously interfered
with business men where martial law has
been proclaimed, and injured the business
men of all parties, and hence the opposi-
ton from loyalists. 1t has interfered with
travel, taken off hands for the militia when
they where badly needed, and created
money panics. 1t has, however, accom-
plished much more good than the most san
guine expected.

GovERSoR's MISUNDERSTANDING No
M1SATioN.-H Harrisburg, Pa, January 6.
The Governors message has been delivered
to the Legislature. He speaks of the pros
porous condition of the finances Of the
State, showing that the debt is considerably
diminishing, and he recommends a re-
trenchment in every department.. The
common scho ols are in satisfactory condi-
ton, but he estimates that $4,000 children
in the State are without school facilities,
and urges an improvement; also, an in
crease in the salaries of the teachers. He
urges the adoption of meaSrres to prevent
fraudulent naturalization He alludes to
the case of Hester Vaughnr and other pri-
soners under sentence Of ,i:;sth, for whose
execution warrants have never been signed,
and suggests the passage Of law allowing
the death penalty to be com muted to impri-
sonment for term Of years.
The joint Republican caucus met this
afternoon, and unanimously nominated Jno.
Scott, of Huntington, for the United States
Senate, and R. W. Macksy, Of Pittsburg,
for State Treasurer.

A VIRGINIA INvENTIoN-CUsTAR's Con-
PAss.-The compass and it's operations were
exhibited yesterday in an excursion Of
number Of gentlemen down the river in the
United States revenue cutter James Guthrie,
Captain Hunter. The compass was subject
ed to tests which seemed to those present to
establish what has been claimed for it. It is
said TO be the intention Of the inventor to
seek q trial of it by the United States naval
authorities at Annapolis, which would seem
to be the most satisfactory means of demon
stratiDg its merits. The object which it
claims to have accomplished is great de-
sideratum, second only in Importance to the
invention of the compass itself.-Bahimore
