SECOND DISPATCH.

LITTLE Rock, March 2j.-The Gen
eral Assembly Of Arkansas adjourned
at twelve O'Clock to-day, and a fervent
.huzza goes up from every honest heart
in the State.
Last night the Senate wentintO ex-
ecutive session, and adjourned at half
past one O'Clock this morning. What
their proceedings were, and the con-
dition that many OF them must have
been in, was evident from the cOndi-
ton of the Chamber this morning.
Tables were overturned, empty bottles
strongly favored with whisky were
scattered over the floor. This morn
ing many OF the Senators looked as if
they had passed hard night.
The acting Governor, Hadley, called
this body TO order. A few bills were
passed, among them one removing
the political disabilities from a num-
Der Of the citizens of our State. The
Governor, in a few remarks, adj
jOurned the Senate without day.
The House this morning was wild
with disorder. Members anxious to
have a bill passed before the adjourn
ment would rush from their seats,
confront the Speaker amidst a shower
of paper bullets, and demand a
hearing. The Speaker endeavOred
in vain to enforce order, but
his voice was drowned amidst
the confusion, he appealed to the
members that if they had no respect
for themselves, at least to respect
those who were witnesses to their pro-
ceedings; but he pleaded in vain.
This bloOdless act, for such it was,
continued until the hour of adjourn
ment, when the speaker read his
speech, and adjourned the House sine
die.
The Senate, as a court Of impeach-
ment for the trial OF Hinkle Clark Of
Conway county, met this morning
and adjourned until Monday morn
ing. Any question as to the legality Of
the court after the first adjournment
Of the Senate if they do not meet their
purposes will be accomplished as he
is now suspended, and if not, i'm
peachment will remain so until the
next Legislature, two years.
The Republican organ hOwls at the
disclosures your correspondent made

tai thirteen, and denOunces the Mem
phis press and its correspondents in
unmeasured terms.

Special to the Memphis APPEAL
LITTLE Rock, March 25.-The
General Assembly adjourned sine die
at u M. to-day. The closing scenes
were
DIsORDERLY, INDECOROUs, UNPAR-
LIAAIENTARK AND DIsGRACEFUL;
of such a character that respectable
citizens can view them in no other
light than that of shame, loathing and
disgust. The servile creatures of the
late Governor rushed pet measures
through with reckless disregard to
common decency and right never
before attempted by any legislative
body assembled. What have they
done? Piled up more taxes for the
next two years than were ever levied
and collected before; rushed through
pet measures for the formation of new
counties, over the protests of the peO-
pie and Representatives, with view
of creating new offices and making
more taxes; abolished the Office of
Solicitor General, and left to the At
torney General the authority to en-
ploy all the counsel he desires for the
duties of that Office, because the late
incumbent was opposed to the late
Governor; removed thedisabilities of
about two hundred persons out Of over
two thousand petitioners; m ade the
State responsible for three million
dollars of levee bonds; created the
Office of State Geologist, at an expense
Of not less than $40, 600 per year; made
three new counties, Lincoln, Sarber
and Nevada; created the Office Of
superintendent of the penitentiary,
and necessitated an outlay of $4,000
to commence operations; created the
offices OF Criminal Judge and Cir
cult Clerk, which have cost
the people over one hundred thousand
dollars, and increased the salaries of
several officers. They have made the
election machinery so that an I'M
scrupuIous executive can carry any
election as he desires.
WHAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE.
They have not reduced the taxes;
they have abolished but one Office,
and created several others; they have
not reduced the salary Of a single
official, but have increased several;
they have not removed disabilities;
they have not done one single act of
rerenchment and reform. And they
are gone; we are at least thankful for
that. This was ClaytOn's Legislature
Of retrenchment and reform.

only significance the passage Of such

RADICALS IN CAUCUS ON SOUTHERN
OUTRAGES.
WASHINGTON, March March 25.-
The House select committee in charge
of the Presidents message on South
eTn outrages, held a brief meeting
yesterday morning, but owing to the
absence of two members, the commit
tee came to no conclusions and ad-
jOurned until Monday morning at 10
O'Clock. Thomas, of South Carolina,
will propose a bill to the committee
combining universal amnesty with
the measures for the repression Of
OutTages, but in the present term of
House this combination is not
likely to succeed. 1t is very probable
one feature in the new bill will be the
provision for an internal revenue pO-
lice force, applicable to all the States,
but necessary in the South only, to
enable assessors and collectors to arm
posses and committees for selEdefence
and enforcement of the laws.
THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
There was no meeting Of the Joint
high commission yesterday, as the
members were otherwise engaged.
The Commissioners have not got be-
yOnd the fishery question, and there
don't seem to be much prospect of a
satisfactory adjustment of the points
of dispute between the Canadians and
New England fishermen.
1t is understood that a memorial
from Col. John Warren, who claims
redress for imprisonment in England,
will be brought up for consideration
whenever an opportunity offers. All
claimants will receive timely public
notice, should any arrangement be
made for the adjustment Of their
claims, as to what may be required
from them in the way Of additional
papers or testimony.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
Powell Clayton, Of Arkansas, took
the oath of Office.
Mr.. Sumner offered a resolution

sells at his command, and yet he had
twelve guarding the Dominican coast.
Objected to.
The Deficiency Appropriation bill
was then proceeded with. An apprO-
priatiOn of 100000 for the mainten-
snce Of the life-saving apparatus and
stations on the New Jersey coast, dur
ing the ensuing fiscal year, was
adopted; also an amendment prOvid-

Suppression Of Ku-Klux - LunatiC

Special to Memphis APPEAL.l

Special 10 NlSLn pnls AFfEAL'I
JACKSON, March 25.-The Senate
passed a resolution authorizing the
Governor to call for United States
troops to suppress the Ku-KluX.
The Senate also passed bill apprO-
priating $50, 600 to support the lunatic
asylum for the coming year.
In the House, at a late hour, the
Committee on Railroads reported
back the bill allowing the Mobile and
Northwestern Railroad Company to
purchase swamp lands at a nominal
price, favorably, and it would have
passed had not the stOmachs of the
members sounded the dinner bell in
their ears and caused an adjournment.
A resolution to adjourn sine die in
two weeks, not taken up, will no
doubt be defeated in the House.
