Affairs in Arkansas.

MEMPHIS, January 2l.-The AUg-
lanche's Little Rock special dispatch
tonight says that Gov. Clayton has
issued a proclamation revoking mar
tial law in Woodruff county.
The pressure brought to bear on
Price. Speaker of the House, and edi-
tor of the Republican, and public
printer. by threats to take from him
the public printing, has forced him to
drop all conservatism and take an
extreme radical stand. His paper to
day says that martial law may now be
regarded as the fixed and settled policy
of the Republicans In Arkansas, and
any further opposition on our part, or
on the part of those in the Republican
ranks who have opposed it, would
Justly be considered facetious and dis
organizing. He also says, in laying
out the plan for building the Repub-
lican party in Arkansas we will make
Arkansas Republican, or waste and
bowling wilderness.
A bill, authorizing the Governor to
fill all vacancies in offices, will un-
doubtedly pass.
MEMPHIS. January 21.-The Sheriff
of Crittenden County, Arkansas, says
that. before Tycer, Harney, and
McCOllister were taken from the Jail
at Marion, they were subjected to the
severest torture in order to make
them confess. Among other things
resorted to was that of hanging them
until their tongues protruded from
their mouths, which finally bad the
desired effect.

U. s. SenatOr.

The contest for Senator is still un-
settled. The only new feature yesser-
day was the abandonment of Mr.
HENDRICKS by the Democrats, who,
with only four exceptions, voted for
Mr.. HUGHEs. But that gentleman
failed to receive any Republican votes,
and the Democrats stultifed theIh-
selves without apparently accomplish
ing anything. 1t may be that the few
Republicans who were so shocked by
the indecent and corrupt PROPOSE
ton of Mr. CUMBAcK will unite with
the Democracy in elccting Mr.
HUGHES, and demonstrates by the
bargain with the Democracy then
own incorruptibility and high sense
Of honor. The ballotng to-day viii
doubtless decide that point.
