LATEST To NOON TO-DAY.


New YoRK, January 5.-The Under
ground Railroad Company, incorporated
by the last Legislature, have returned
their charter, and given up the JOB Tor
the present. The conditions contained
In the act of incorporation were so
stringent that men OF capital did not
dare invest in the enterprise, although
the engineering difficulties are found to
be much less than would generally DO
supposed. The company will ask an
amendment of the act and an extension
of time for commencing operations.
1t is stated that the lobbyists at Wash
ington have recently inaugurated a
scheme which promises 20 pay them well
for their services, and they have already
realized very respectable sum. The
English advocates of the Canadian reci-
procity treaty are anxious to have the
old policy revived, and are paying hand
somely TO those who aid their scheme,
having advanced to the lobby ring the
sum Of $l5 900 in gold, and are ready
with another installment as seon as it is
needed to influence Congress.
The Herald understands that several
libel suits have been brought against Ger.
tain Bohemians, who have recently been
busily engaged in this city in the calum-
NATION of the character of some of our
grocery dealers, and that Reuben 4. Fem
ton, late Governor of the State, will
bring suit against Thurlow Weed for the
publication in his paper, in this city, OF
a most atrocious libel in discussing the
question of naturalization frauds.
The Herald recommends the passage
by Congress of law by which foreigners
who desire to become citizens OF this
country can do so at once on the simple
condition of residence.
Mayor Hall, of this city, yesterday
issued his first general order, which was

The Condition of Affairs in Arkansas.

The Washington Express pertinently
asks: How long will the people of the
North permit their own race at the South
to be sacred, az they are daily in
Arkansas, By T1fHisBs of the negro race
who are used ss instruments by the So
called Governor Clayton, of that State
Is it not enough to make the bloed OF the
white man boil to read the accounts
which daily come up from that State?
The scenes which are daily witnessed
in Arkansas, where the negro militia,
called ont by Clayton, the bayonet Gov
ernor, have full license to wreak their
worse passions upon helpless people,
are beyond the power Of pen to describe.
1t is an organized scheme Of murder,
rapine, conhagrstion aud robbery. The
defenseless inhabitants are begging Of
Congress for protection from these oalsm.
ities, which Congress Itself has inflicted
upon them. They do not dare TO band
together to resist these negroes, lest
their conduct be instantly misrepre-
scented and the facts perverted in the
Northern Radical press, ans in Con.
gress, so that aid will nat ae denied
them. And 80 the daily scenes OF horror
60 on. The negroes, dunk with the
novel sense of power, and iBfamed with
the sight OF blood and the spirit OF muir
der, are like wild beasts let loose. They
march ia armed bodies from town 10

and committing all sorts of crimes, in

reign Of terror Ike that experienced in
France in the worst days of the French
revolution, and a wild scene Of disorder
closely approaching anarchy exists.
Hundreds Of Inhabitants are fleeing from

This is the legitimate result Of Radical

Day after day we hear OF horri0ie OUT
RACES perpetrated by negroes 10 different
par,s of the State, and especially in the
outskirts of this city, upon whites, and
in many cases deeds Of beastly char
ac.er, unoffending and helpless women
being the victims; deeds which would
make even devils blush with shame. In
the city proper, restrained only through
fear, they have behaved generally very
well, comparatively speaking, limiting
their operations to their natural failing,
thievery and fillisg the guard-house, and
living at the expense Of the city.
We have now TO record an attempted
outrage committed by seven negroes in
the very heart of the city, and at an early
hour in the evening; and it is to be sin
cereIy regretted that they succeeded In
making their escape unharmed, and are
now still at large in the community, no
doubt plotting other deeds of robbery,
lawlessness and murder.
On New Years eve, about half past
eight O clock, when ell Mobile was upon
the streets, witnessing the grand turnout
of the Mystic Societies, Mrs.. Geisineer,
the wife Of the popular proprietor of the
q Lee House." No. 80 South Water
street, while sitting in a back room OF
the establishment, Mr.. Gelsinger aud the
rest of the family being absent, observed
a large negro entering the front door
in bis bare feet and moving rapidly
toward the entrance which leads into the
room which she occupied, Blk other
negroes were standing on the pavement
Immediately in front Of the door, which
they closed upon their accomplish. Grs,
G. finding herself shut up 10 the house,
and the negro rushing upon her in a
threatening manner, fed from the room
toward the door, which had just been
closed. but before reaching it the negro
villain seiged her by the throat and arm,
and threw her yio.ently upon the
floor. She screamed loudly ror help,
when q negro on the outside said
in n loud voice, "cut her id
throat if she m .tc- any noise" Making
desperate effort, she succeeded IN get
ting bold OF the knob Of the door, and
succeeded in pulling il slightly open,
when her assailant, who bad drawn o
large knife, fearing that assistance had
come, rushed past her and out into the
street, and Joined bis gang, who we're
walking along very leisurely. Upon
catching up with them they all burst out
into loud laugh, and then proceeded
quickly away from the locality.
Mrs. G. cried loudly for assistance, and
10 about half an hour afterward a ne
gro policeman came up, and offered as
an excuse for not appearing promptly
that he WAS engaged ia guarding store,
which had been left open, and could no,
leeveit.
Comment upon this high-hauded and
dastardly outrage is hardly necessary i
only remains TO be seen whether our ciii
zens, quiet and law abidiug, will submit
to have their premises entered, their
wives knocked down and sssailed witt
