Geop FOR ARKANSAS BUr NOT GooD FOR
PLNNsYLyANIA.-A correspondent of one
ofthe Pittsburgh Penn. papers has in
terviewed Gov. GEARY, of that State, and
finds that he stands up to all he said in
his message denunciatory of Federal in
reference in State elections. How he
talks may be gathered from the follow
ing:
You will observe that in my message ]
expressed the opinion that it was not
right for the general government to in
terfere in the Philadelphia election. Ii
may be a small matter at first, but pro
viding the principle is carried out there
is no knowing where it will terminate
cannot believe that there is any necessity
for troops in carrying on our State cleo
ton, and il there were the State should
be able to attend to its own interests,
Our State is in no condition a insurrec-
ton or rebellion, and there is no reason
why troops should be brought to inter
fere with us called the attention of
the legislature to the subject because
considered it Of the highest Importance
and question that should not be passed
over lightly. 1t is for the legislature to
decide. think the principle of interfer-
ence is bad one. Suppose another par
ty should he dominant two years from
now, Suppose men now disfranchised
should gain places of power. Those who
,t,ta ha
the first under such a state Of affairs to
oppose it. At the time of the last elec
ton / received telegraphic dispatches
from all parts of the State about it, and
particularly from Philadelphia. The
people of this State will never consent to
the interference Of United State troops,
in the matter Of State elections This is
more especially true of the western por
ton, The people of that section are
more hot headed than the eastern people
Those Scotch-Irsh people out there
would say "Interfcre with our election
at your peril have travelled great
deal through all parts Of the country and
have endeayorcd by observation to thor
oughly post myself on this question. ]
think interference by troops in State
elections does not meet the wishes fthe
people, and, therefore, spoke of the sub
ject in the message. The difficulties and
dissensions in the State of Missouri are
indications of the opposition of the peo
pie to such interference. 1t may be right
to use the military power in unrecon-
structed States, but not in States like
ours.

EF Senator Mallory's Resolution, in
the Senate, declaring vacant all offices in
the State where the parties failed to quail
ify within fifteen days after they were in
formed Of their election, is for the pur-
pose, evidently, of reaching the Lieuten
m Governor. 1t passed by vote of Is
to 6. The Governor and his friends
have, probably, given up all hopes OF
ousting the Lieut.. Governor through
the Supreme Court of the State. 1t will
remain to be seen whether this revolu.
tionary action Of the Senate will have
the desired effect, of displacing Lieut.
Governor Johnson from the position he
now ooupies.

at Little Rock, by way Of Memphis ant
st. Louis;
MEMrnis, Jan. q
The .iraionche's Little Rock specia
says lhat a tumultuous scene occurred il
the Arkansas Senate yesterday. lmmc
diately after the reading of the journal
Joseph Brooks, who had come in. stooc
near the speakers stand and presented
the certificate of election from the clerk'
Of Pulaski and White counties, and de
manded to be sworn in according to the
legal returns. DIR. Riley was legal J
elected, but Gov. Clayton refused to al
low the Secretary of State to report the
election of either. Immediately after tn'
demand of Brooks, several Senators
friends of Clayton, sprang to their feet
cxclaiming, al object objectr'
Lieut.. Gov. Johnson, the fast friend o
Brooks, said he considered it his duty to
swear Brooks in.
Senator Mallory appealed to the Sen
ate to protect itself and called on the
sergeant at arms to put Brooks out; but
The Lieutenant Governor, paying no
attention to the objections, proceeded
with the oath, on The conclusion Of which
Mr. Brooks moved the reference of his
credentials to the committee on elections,
Mr.. Mallory objected, saying "hc has
no right here,
Lieutenant Governor: alt was expect
cd the gentleman would object"
Senator Belden: IL object too, sir
Lieutenant Governor: II was expect
ed that YOU too, would object
Great sensation and cries of order.
The speaker ruled Mr.. Brooks entitled
to the floor, who proceeded in speech
of an hour and halfto defend the action
of himself and the Lieutenant Governor
denouncing Mallorr as ruillan and buI-
" who lorJlcd it over the Senate at his
masters (Claytons) bidding.
The proceeding created an intense
sensation, the Clayton men denouncin9
them as revolutionary, while the Brooks
men rctort that the others set the prece-
dent
The latter introduced bill declaring
the action of the lieutenant governor re
evolutionary, without law, contrary to
parliamentary usage, consequently null
and void. Pending the discussion Of
which, the senate adjourned.
The passage by the house of the sen
ate bill, oustng all officers who failed to
qualify within fifteen days after the adop-
ton Of the constitution, is svery doubtful.
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal in the senate this morning, Mr.,
Mallory offered resolution to eXpunge
from the journal the portion referring to
the admission of Mr. Books, Yesterday,
saying that the admission was not the
action of the senate, but of the president.
Confusion ensued, during which Mr.,
Brooks obtained the floor and spoke
several hours, denouncing the rings
which sought to control the senate.
At the conclusion of the speech the
president ruled the resolution out of or.
der
Mr. Mallory took the floor and de
nounccd the lieutenant governor, amidst
cries of order He was still speaking
at o'clock, although numerous motions
have been made to adjourn, There is ;
prospect of the session lasting all night
Tne house adjourned over to Monda,
awaiting the result of tho crisis in tn
