The Late Senator Of Arkansas in a Card to
his Constituents.

LITTLE Rock, January 3.-The follow
ing is an extract from the card of Senator
Alexander Mcdonald, published to-day
in the EUeHiag Journal Of this city, with
drawing as a candidate for the United
States Senate:
" UndOubted Republicans, regularly
nominated in Republican districts, if un-
willing to commit themselves unquali-
fiedly to Governor Clayton, have been
registered out and Democrats elected IN
their stead, while in some of the Demo-
cratic districts where the DemOc attic can
didates refused to pledge TO Clayton, Re-
publicsns have been registered in who
were known to be in his interest; and on
the eve Of the meeting of the Legislature
such Republicans as were known to be in
his support were caucused, while other
true Republicans, supposed to be opposed
TO him and his schemes, we're denied
admittsnce. Rather than submit myselftO
the degradation of an Endorsement Of
such conduct, / feel il incumbent upon
myself and my friends that 1 should de
cline a contest under such circumstances.
The revolutionary manner IN which two
or three men, under the orders Of Gov
ernOr Clayton, organized the House Of
Representatives in disregard Of parlis-
mentary law, goes far to confirm me in
the course I have determined to pursue.
The only regret I have in taking this step
is. that had hoped during my political
career 70 add my influence still further in
bringing about reforms so much needed.
My lot is cast with the people OF Arkan-
sss, and they may rest assured that /
shall not tire in my efforts to relieve them
from the terrible despotism brought about
by the usurpatiOn of the present Execu-
tive, and hope my friends in the Legis-
lsturs will exert themselves for the COM
mon good, and, as far as possible, secure
in fact as well as in name, Repu blicsn
form Of government to the people OF Ar

CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.
Congressman are rapidly returning
here from the holiday visit home.
Enough will probably arrive TO enable
both Houses to resume the session at II
o'clock. Returned members are earn
estly consulting on the future business
Of the session. The fate of the San Do
mingO subject seems to be upon many
minds. None doubt the passage of the
Senate resolutions by the House; but it
is generally regarded as uncertain and
improbable that there remains sufi-
cient time for the proposed commits
siOners to visit San Domingo, and devote
proper investigation to the subject, and
to secure an intelliget report on all mat
teTs on which Congressman are most anx-
ious to be informed Allowing that the
commissioners make the trip in a
month or six weeks from the time OF
starting, it is feared, even by the friends
of the measure, that delay in the prelim-
mary considering and debating on the
commissioners report, and the discus
sion likely to arise in both Houses on
the annexation proposition, whatever
may be the recommendation Of the re-
port, will consume so much time, that
close session will defeat the action.

Special to the APPEAL
LITTLE Rock, ARK, January 4.-The
Senate and House convened in one body
at eleven am. to-day to receive the Gov
ernor's Message, which occupied an hour
and ten minutes In its reading. He
recommends reduction of taxation and
expenses, and says the legislative depart
ment for the last two and q half years
has cost three hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars. Therefore he suggests
a short session, and also recommends tha
the Legislature take immediate steps to
enfranchise those who are now disfran-
chised on account Of the rebellion, by an
amendment to the State Constitution.
He thinks the present condition of the
State favorable to carrying out promise
he made in a speech over year ago to
that effect. The Message occasioned some
at its close.
Mcdonald has abandoned the United
States Senatorial contest, and ClaytOn's
election is almost certain.

any Of the executive departments, and
where the salary is in excess Of one thou

On motion OF Mr.. Sherman, the Senate
took up and passed the bill amendstOry
izlng an increase Of the issue of the I've
per cent. bonds from 500 O00. 900 to $780,
COO 900, and making the interest on the
same payable quarterly.
Notice was given by Mr.. Morton that

Mr.. O'Neill advocated the bill, and ar
gued that Philadelphia was, by historical
association, the most appropriate place for

Mr.. Brooks, Of New York, was unable
to see why Philadelphia should be select

pies of the Declaration were mainly cre-
ated, or than Ricbmond, Va, from which
State came Jefferson, who wrote the Dec
laratiOn OF Independence.
A vote by the Teller showed no quorum
