The Quo Warranto Case.

This much talked Of case has finally
come to a decision. The object Of the
writ was to COMPEL Lieut.. Gov. JOHNSON
to vacate the office he has held for two
years past, on the ground that he did
not qualify in time, under the Constitu
tion. All efforts to oust him have failed
and we hope he will now be let quietly
alone, and if Gov. CLAYToS shall accept
the L. S. Senatorial seat to which he has
been elected, Mr.. Johnson will occupy
the uhexpired term OF Gov. Clayton as
Governor of the State of Arkansas.
The Little Rock GazeHe, speaking OF
the decision, says:
This case came up for final disposition
before the supreme court, on yesterday.
The Judgment of the court was that Lieu
enant Governor James NJ. johnson was
lawfully entitled to the Office, and had
aot forfeited it by any failure or neglect
on his part to comply with all the require.
lnents of the law in respect to the time,

decision was concurred in by all the
members of the court, and was instantly
and unanimously confirmed as correct
by the entire public.
The court did not pass din ectly upon
The weight of the testimony given in by
the attorney general, respecting what
Hodges said at the gate" but it is gen
orally understood and believed that, in
private consultation, the court said it
wasn't worth d---n. Sic transit, quo
wsrranto, Pigeon Toe, ct cetera.
This, we judge, is the substance Of
"what Hodges said at the gate, which
we find in the Journals report:
Mr.. Attorney General Montgomery
testified that in conversation with Mr..
j. L. Hodges, some time ago, he was in
formed by that gentleman that the re
spondent in this case had not qualified
according to law, and that Gov. Clayton
had requested him MOTTO commence pro-
ceedings in this case until he received

~ Mr.. +. G. WnIrEslDEs, has been
appointed by Governor CLAYTON, Sheriff
of Crawford county, rice H. s. ANpER-
SON resigned. Mr.. Whitesides received
a ayfnajority Of the votes cast at the las,
election, but it is held by the Administra.
,ion at Little Rock, that no elections were
necessary, that the Shcriffs were elected
or four years instead Of two. In this
at. Gov. Clayton has given expression
to the wishes OF at least two thirds of the
the people Of County. and deserves, as VIC
unhesitatingly give him, due praise.

EY- Our latest rumorcd information
from Little Rock is, that Gov. Clayton
will 20 the U. s. Senate, leaving the State
government in the hands Of Lieut.. GOV.
Johnson. 1t is also rumored that there
has been some kind of 4 compromise be-
tween tho Brindlc Tails and Minstrels.
vt all events, there should be an arms
rice of thirty days, that the Legislature

They have been in session now, over two
mouths, and not thing, hardly, has been
done but to fight over the Office occupied
by Lieut.. Gov. johnson.

House, Feb. 2S.


A message was received from the sen
ate announcing the passage of an act
amending an act remitting the penalty Of
80 per cent. for on-payment of taxes for
1870. The rules were suspended, and
the bill taken up and passed unanimous
ly. The bill directs collectors to keep
their books open sixty days.
House bill to repeal registration act,
and provide for different mode of reg
istration, was taken up. The house went
into committee of the whole, Mr. Smith
in the chair.
The first section repcals the present
law, and dcvolvcs the duty Of rcgistra-
ton on the assessors Of the several coun-
ties.
Mr.. Neal moved 10 amend so as to
provide that those who were registered
in 1870 shall not required to register
again, but shall be permitted to vote at
all future elections on the certificate here
tofore issued.
Mr. Neal said the adoption Of this
amendment would save at least $50, 900.
1t proposes to establish as the permanent
books of registration those of 1870. 1t
is hardship to require parties to regis
ter every two years,
Mr.. TankersIy moved the adoption of
the amendment. Carried.
BY Neal-Amcnd still further by strik.
ing out assessor and inserting county
clerk Carried
The section as amended was adopted.
Section two provides that it, shall be
lawful for any person entitled to register
to apply to any clerk of a circuit court
judge of a county and probate court, OF
Justice of the peace, to make and sub
scribe an oath that he is entitled to regis
ter, for which they shall receive twenty
| five cents.
Mr. Hawkins moved to strike out tho
words judge of probate court and justice
of the peace.
Mr. Joslyn moved to strike out al
compensation.
Chamberlain offered substitute fol
the bill, 1t provides that all parties who
| have heretofore been registered shall moi
be required to register again. Any party
who is not registered can do SO on ap
| plication to the county clerk, at any time
In district school meetings no person
shall be allowed to vote who is not :
householder or head of family.
Owen opposed the substitute, If any
! State ever needed q substantial registra
tion law, it was this lie wanted to put
at rest, forever, this cry of frauds in reg
stration and election, and was opposed
to giving any one man the power to say
who he will register. All this trouble
We have had has grown out of the pres
ent registration law. Both parties hav,
been injured by the abuse Of this law
He wanted the law made so plain thai
the rights of every freeman in the State
are made secure, regardless Of what par
ty may come into power.
Without further action, the committee
rose, and asked leave to sit again on Fri
day, at II a. IN.
