The accounts from Little Rock, which we
publish elsewhere, indicate a very bad state of
things at the Capital of Arkansas. The
House. it seems, has adopted Articles oflmpeach-
ment against Governor Clayton, and threatens
to impeach the Chief Justice (McClure) and
such other officers as may stand in the way Oh
ITS partisan purposes. So far, the Committee
of Managers appointed on the part OF the
House to prosecute the case before the Senate
have been unable to present the matter ofhciaiy
before that body, for the reason that II remains
without a quorum, meeting daily and adJourhinS
for want of such q number. In the mean tille
great excitement prevails at Little Rock, win
the possibility, if not probability, of CONNECT
of authority which may result in clvll war
There are two persons Clayton ana Lieut.
Gov. Jobuson) now claiming to be Governor OF
the State each threatening to use force ana there
is likely to be two Chief Justices soon, as
johnson proposes to play Governor to tue cX-
tent of appointing a Chief Justice Ill place OF
Mcclure johnson claims to be Governor by
reason of the impeachment of Gov. Clay
ton, while the latter makes the point
that his functions as Governor cannot be sus-
pended on account of the impeachment till
such time as the articles are officially pre-
scented to the Senate and he notified by that
body to appear for trial. 1t is to be hoped
that nothing more serious than fierce debate
may come of this unfortunate business.

We are threatened with a coal famine as
consequence of bitter feud between tne
Unions of the employing cOal-mine owners ana
the employed miners. One or two OF the
operators in the Lehigh and Susquehanna re-
gion lately agreed to grant its terms 10 the
Miners Union, and work was to have been re-
sumed, when rival operators, combining with
the railway companies, secured an advance OF
freight which practically prevents the shipment
of any coal whatever, and consequently WORK
cannot be resumed The coal and railroad
men declare themselves resolved to break up
the Miners Union, and TO do it employ IA
vorite but most odious and cruel trick OF the
Trades Unions. When Trades Unions find any
of their members refractory they compel their
discharge from labor by threatening a strike.
Capital in this instance has combined TO fetter
a weak member of its Union, which has sue
cumbed TO the demands Of the laborers, and

M1NUFACTURERS And THEIR VIEWS

MANUFACTURERS And THEIR VTEWS.
Several weeks since, manifesto against the
present Tariff OF some provisions thereof, by
certain Eastern manufacturers was printed
with great flourish, in certain anti-Tariff
journals. Carefully scrutinized, it amounted
substantially to this: These manufacturers
would like to have Wool, Coal, and some
other raw materials, imported duty-free. We
did not consider this demonstration of much
consequence either way, and treated it accord
ingly. The Protective policy was resisted by
T. S. Senator from Massachusetts. half
century ago, expressly on the ground
of his interest in cotton factory
Zone of the few then at work in our
country)-which was making money for its
stockholders and he feared that so many
factories would be started if the pending bill
passed that our markets would be glutted
with home made fabrics, and his factory stock
thereby deprecated. We consider this a
narrow view, but not necessarily mistaken.
We do not regard the Protective policy
as especially favorable to manufacturers, but
advocate it "a advantageous to the whole
American People.
But certain Eastern manufacturers, whose
signatures to the manifesto in question were
unfairly procured, ask us to print their card
as follows:
We the undersigned, signers OF An Appeal by the
Wooden Men to the Manufacturers and People OF New

4 CAPITOL SUGGESTION.

The propositions which have been made
looking to a removal of the Capitol have but
little present vitality, whatever may come of
them in the future. Our lawgivers will doubt
less continue for many a year to wend their
way thither, and for many year they will
continue to expectorate majestically along
Pennsylvania and assemble for cocktails
at the bar of Wizards or the Arlington. We
have spent too much money in architecture
and sculpture, adorned the hills of the little
provincial hamlet with too many domes and
colonnades, lightly to abandon it. st. Louis,
whose claims Mr.. Reavis recites with ability
and energy is doubtless more central but
Omaha is more central than St. Louis, and
some unnamed and uncelebrated lodge Of Pr
utes in the interior continent is more central
(if degrees be practicable of centrality) than
Omaha. The argument for placing the Capitol
in the middle of the territory which it rules is
not worth much, because it would have to be
shifted with each new accession of territory.
When we annex British America, we should
have to move the State House and the govern
mental machinery to the borders of the Lake
of the Woods, and the eloquence of both
Houses would be drowned in the believing OF
neighboring bears and the screaming of con-
tiguous catamOunts. And when we have final
ly extended the blessings of our rule over
Mexico and the South American continent, it
would DO necessary to build capitol amid
the jungles Of the OrinOco.
But if we must move-if st. Louis and Gin
cinnati and Chicago, and Peoria and Oshkosh
and Nevada City, continue their loud and
wrangling Ou.cries and solicitations, until the
legislative ears are 80 deafened with tho up
roar as to cause them to yield the point and
sacrifice the Capitol-it becomes an interesting
query what shall be done with the city when
it is abandoned. The public edfces there are
too big for private uses. They could not be
proiitaby turned into hotels. because, after the
Government departed, nobody except IN occa-
sional peddler or pilgrim would ever travel
thither. They could not wisely be Turned into
museums, or picture galleries, or hospitals, for
similar reasons of isolation and inaccessbility.
1t has been suggested that the Capitol would
make an imposing university, and the Trca-
sury jail, so much more ornamental and
commodous than other jals that it would be
at once an honor and pleasure to be locked
up in it. Even if these cmpoyments were adj
mitted M salutary. there would remain the
Patent-0 Office and the White House, tho unfln-
ished monument to the Father of his Country,
and sundry other grand, gloomy and peculiar
erections, for which there would be no adequate
use. They would slowly molder into ruin like
the temples of TadmOr and the marble arcades
of CoriDth. Bats would cluster in the gloom
of their deserted arches, and in the scuptured
urns which crest their lofty cornces the
gloomy owl would deposit in solitude and
hope, the lonely and secret egg. Desohtion
would brood upon its domcs and silence slum-
Der along its dusky cp1idors. Where would

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT

To the EdflOr Of The Tribune.
SIR Would you inform Your readers what you consider
would he the best system Of international Copyright
address this query to you knowing you to be an ad
vocate OF Protection and believing in your desire that
Protection should not only extend over the whole OF this
country the whole civilized world. Yours re-
specially, CT.
NeUdrk, Feb II, 1871.
Ansrr.-In our Judgment, the best possible
system of international Copyright is one that
simply acknowledges and protects a mans
right to his intellectual products as on pre-
csely the same footing with his physical. One
man rears horse; another writes a book ::
the value of either may be $50, $500, $4,000,
or even $4,000; but whatever it is, it is the
property of its producer, until he sees fit to
sell it to some one else. One may lend his
horse; the other may allow copies to be made
of his book and sold; but the original prop
erty in book or horse remains unaffected
tbereby.-IEd.

Previous reports of the appearance of the
Tennessee off Hayti are discredited by the
positive statement that there was no news of
her at POrt-au-Prince on the 9th inst. This
establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the
Tennessee did not take the westward passage,
and that she was not the man-of-war seen by
the Mary Baker. 1t does not affect, however,
the probabilities of her successful voyage by
the eastern route to SANTANA or San Domingo
City. Vessels from the latter of these two
places are due here within few days, and
we trust may bring news of the Tennessee.

After Fridays somewhat noisy and altogether
absurd debate on the Army Appropriations,
it is rather ridiculous as well as surprising to
observe that the bill passed next day without
a word pro or con. 1t did not however, re-
quire this action to confirm the suspicion that
the bill was made the excuse by the Demo-
Gratis for airing their stale and stupid argu-
ment that the army has been employed to
control the elections,-a charge which was re-
peatedly made in their late speeches. but never

Alsace and Lorraine are not the only prov
inces which France is likely to lose. 1t Is
asserted that Germany will make an effort to
secure the naturalization of Savoy, which Ma
noleon wrested from Italy after the war of
1856. TO this Southern France will not readily
consent. 1t is intimated, indeed, that the OPP
nosition in that section to the cession of AL
SAGE and Lorraine is so determined ana I'M
comfortable that instruction against the new
Government is threatened in the event OF lts
Welding to this demand OF the Germans
Nevertheless the Assembly seems disposed 10
vote in favor of the cession, probably because
it has 10 other alternative.

This is hardly the time for the adoption OF
Senator Towards suggestion that the cession
of a portion of Canada be made condition
of the proposed settlement by the High Com
mission of our differences with England. The
annexation of Canada is inevitable in the
course of time and events, and We don't see
the need for fastening its unnecessary pur-
chase, particularly since the Canadians are not
ready to come nor We fully prepared to receive
them

Gratis The powerful influence of their estab-
lishments damages the Republican and helps
the Democratic party. We have made no com
plant of this; we have only urged upon he-
pnblicans the duty of counteracting 1t. And
this il 10 be done, in our judgment not by
starting Republican grogshops but by sys-
temotic dissemination of Republican journals.

It is expected that fncwool manufacturers of New
England representing <5OODoO)) capital, will besiego
Congress to pass bill TO make more equal levy Of
tariff on woods, that carpctwOOls will not have the
preference fine For the benefit Of the trade.
the bill they to advocate and which is now before
the Committee of Ways and Means, is hereto appended.
Representative Aspcr of Missouri will assist them in the
argument before the Committee Their representative
here is working harder than any other tariff man. and
feels sanguino that the bill will pass at this session. as
the Senate Committee to report 1T il they get 1t
through the House. Here 10 is:
That from and after the passage Of this act, In lien OF
the duties imposed by law, there shall be levied:

Comments By The Tribune
If the "fne-woOl manufacturers of New
England" OF any of them, fancy that they
can cut loose from the wool growers, and " go
"it alone" we hope they may have a good
timel But it is not true that the "fine-wool
manufacturers of New England" nor any
considerable part Of them, have embarked in
any such craft as this. 1t is simply dodge
of the Frce-Traders, who propose to divide
and conquer. But their game is understood,
and will be beaten.
All these guerrilla demonstrations confess
weakness. We challenge the Free-Traders to
submit to the country bill embOdying such
changes in the Tariff, and all such, as they
deem desirable We shall be very happy to join
issue with them and solicit popular verdict.
But they dare not do this They comprehend
that they can only overthrow Protection by
playing off one protected interest against an
other. If they can induce "iine-wOOl manu-
"facturers" to join them in cutting down the
tariff on Wool, they reckon that they can easily
thereafter induce the woOl-growcrs to join them
in abOlishing the duty on WoOlens; and so
with Salt Lumber, and Coal. The utter col
lapse and overthrow of Protection may thus be
effected, while five-eighths Of the American
People desire ts maintenance.
The pr0feSsed PrOtectiOnist who cOnsOrtS and
cOnnivcs with Frec-TradcrS to abolish this or
that Protective duty, if not an idiot, is traitor
in the camp. The true PrOtcctiOnists will take
counsel only with friends, and stand or fall
together.

Iu the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Steuart took
advantage of an opportunity allowed him. to
review the policy which has lately been pursued
with regard to the Public Lands. He stated
that out of seventy-three million acres of the
public lands for which warrants were issued to
soldiers, principally the soldiers of the Mexican
War; the very highest estimate of the mum
Der of acres entered by soldiers was less than
five millions. The other seventy millions was
entered by spectators, who had for a trAing
consideration purchased the warrants of the
soldiers Out Of over 99l, 000, 600 acres OF pub
lie lands given away by the Government, less
than one-ffth had gone into the hands of actual
settlers. He desired to raise his warning
voice against the further distribution OF any
large bodies Of the public lands and advocated
that hereafter the lands should be SO disposed
OF as to make small farms.
