SINCE the close of the war, the
State Legislature has been in session
about four-fifths of the time, the
members of which have drawn their
pay with a precision and regularity
unprecedented in the history of the
Commonwealth. During this time
more bills have been introduced, and
more laws enacted, than ever before,
for the same length of time, at any
period in the history of this or any
other State. This same Legislature
has now acknowledged its incompe-
potency to perform the task under
taken, and the futility of itsattempts
to re-establish law and order, by au-
thorizing the Governor to call out the
militia, which virtually amounts to
declaration of martial law. In the
language of a contemporary, "com-
ment is unnecessary"

no less than q, O00,00O sterling ; Che entire
circulation of the Bank of England fell
from eis, 600, In 1878, to less than cal ,OO0

sunk as low as Sd, Ooo. 900. Nothisig in. this
disastrous contraction of the currency, at a
period when its expansion was loudly call
ed for, sustained the national industry or
arrested general bankruptcy, but the for

the banks to pay In specie was, by the act
Of 1873, only to commence on the lst of Feb

crash began, not only to contract its issues,
but in a slight degree TO increase them.
Tho effects of this sudden and prodigious
contraction of the currency were soon ap-
parent, and they rendered the next three
years n period of ceaseless disasters and sur
fering III the British Islands. The accom-
modations granted by bankers dimln ish ell
so much, In consequence of the obligation
laid upon them OF paying in specief when

1910 had been f23,OO0,O0o, and in 1915 not less
than f20,GJ00o0, sunk in 1920 to less than 81, :
1000, and in 1921 to G2,5T6,8O0. The effect
upon prices was not less immediate or APP
paling. They sunk in general, within six
months, TO half their former amount, and
remained at that low level for the next
three years. Imports SINK from nearly

latter months of the year 1919, and thatdis-
trust and encouragement was felt in all
branches OF industry. which IL at once the

prevails that but n few days will
elapsc before the people of several
counties in Middle Tennessee, and
perhaps in West Tennessee will have

graphic dispatches from Arkansas
this morning convey an idea Of what
we may expect when martial law is
declared, and the "loyal militia" shall
be turned loose 10 prey upon and har-
rass the people, The militia have
scourgcd the people of Arkans i'm n
manner that has no parallel in the
history of a civilized country. Mar
tial law was declared there, and the
people have noredrcss forthe terrible
wrongs they have suffered. We ask
the members of the Legislature who
voted for and passed the militia bill,
10 read the dispatches this morning
which gives terrible picture of what
is transpiring in Arkansas under Just
such state of affairs rs this law will

MEMPHIS, January l6.-Last night
nine militiamen, from the forces at
Marion, Arkansas, went to the house
of a widow lady, whose name is with
held ut the request Of numerous re-
latives here, and outraged her three
daughters, aged sixteen, eighteen and
twenty, after helping themselves to
what things they wanted. Informa.
ton of the affair was given Colonel
Watson, commanding the militia,
who this afternoon succeeded in ar
resting all the guilty parties. The
greatest excitement exists at Marion.
But for promise of Colonel Watson
that the villains shall have stern JUS
tice melted them, doubtless the COM
munity would now be in arms. An
other party also went TO the house of
Jefferson Beeves, near the same place,
and outraged his wife. They then
went 10 the house of Mr.. L.. Kepron,
County Clerk, maltreated Mrs. Wat
son, AN elderly lady from New York,
living with him. This party has not
been arrested rs yet.
