Arkansas Freeman.

The Little Rock Gazette says the Free
man will be issued about the lst of June.
The following prospectus Of Col. Tabbs
Gross, col has just been issued. 1t will
be observed that Rev Hagan Green, col.
is to be assistant editor. This will make
a pretty strong team. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. Gross does not abate one tit. lie
of his universal suffrage platform, and
that he advocates what the administra-
ton organ does not-"a complete
change and reformation of the policy OF
the State administration from extravagant
economy; from high taxes to low taxes
from corruption and rascality to honesty
and fair dealing" The colored people
owe it to themselves to support this pa
per:
We propose to resume the publication
of the Freeman, In sending forth anew
this journal, it is proper that we briefly
declare something of the character and
aim Of the paper; 1t is designed, in a
special sense, to be the colored people S
paper. We design to have it constantly
reflect their sentiments and advocate their
interests The paper is owned, edited
aid published exclusively by colored
men, and in the interest OF their race,
particularly within the State of Arkansas.
We shall aim to make it desirable fam
lily paper. 1t will contain large amount
of reading matter, suited to the condi-
ton Of the colored people of the South
west. In politics it will be republican,
but thoroughly independent of cliques.
We shall constantly maintain and defend
the great principles of universal freedom
and equality Of rights for all men, and
the reconstruction legislation of Congress
as incorporated in the national constitu-
ton in the thirte nth, fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments. To render these
great principles practical and universal
in their application without respect to
race, color or previous condition, shall
be our constant aim. We shall advocate
a complete change and reformation ofthe
policy ol tHe Otatc auiliillottatiou lioui
extravaganza to economy; from high
taxes to low taxes; from corruption and
rascality to hJresty and fair dealing.
We shall maintain the rights of the law
fully constitute majority fairly to decide
in convention the choice of their candi
dates, and the right Of the people at the
ballot-box, withoutforcc or fraud, to de
t4rmnc by fair vote and fair count
their own officers.

VIII the President Garry 0us his Procla.
nation.

Last week President Grant ordered
United States troops to South Carolina
to carry ON his win under the provisions
Of the Ku-klux bill. No outrages had
been reported from that State for several
months, and there was apparently no ne
cessity for the Presidents order.
On Tuesday morning fearful riot oc.
Cured in Scranton, Pennsylvania. One
man was killed, and several we're proba-
bly, fatally wounded, The people in the
coal regions momentarily await more
terrible outbreak. President Grant
though perfectly aware of these facts,
has ordered no United States troops to
Scranton.
On the same morning Major Dickin.
son, a well known colored citizen, enter
ed the Astor House. An old soldier
asked him to take drink. Tho bar
keeper not only refused to mix glass Of
rum and molasses for him, but grossly
insulted him. He was driven from the
hotel because ofhis color. lie aiterward
visited tavern in Greenwich street, and
was treated in the same shameful manner.
A colored man can walk into any hotel
in South Carolina and be courteously re-
ceived. He can get anything that he
wants, from piece Of custard pie to a
mint julep, if anybody will pay for it.
Would it be well for the President to re-
call the United States troops from South
Carolina and station them IN Scranton
and New York In his recent Ku-klux
proclamation Gen. Grant said that the
law of Congress applies to all parts Of
the United states, and will be enforced
everywhere to the extent of the powers
vested in the Executive. q. Does he mean
it? If SO, let him send ! brigade of in
fantry to the mining reg ans to sec that
the people are protected! and squad of
cavalry to the Astor Ho4se, whose duty
it shall be to compel the barkeeper to mix
Major Dickinson glass of rum and mo-
lasses ". y San
