A Washington dispatch to the St.
Louis Repa5lie0n says that q general
feeling was manifested Saturday in the
Senate and House because Of the re-
newal of the Arkansas political squabble
between the Senatorial representatives
Of the State, Rice and Clayton. The
former arose TO insist upon the immedi-
ate adoption of his resolution, calling
upon the President for information as to
his motives for sending United States
troops into Arkansas, and the facts
upon which such action was based,
when Clayton at once made
issue with his colleague as to
the subject matter complained of. He
assured the Senate that no State in the
Union was more peaceful than Arkan-
sas, and that il further troubles and dis
sessions arose there it would be because
ex-COnfederste Generals had formed Sc
cret military combinations to prevent
by force the Inauguration of the regular
" elected Baxter Republican State Off
cials. To this statement, Mr.. Rice re-
Joined that Republican combinations Of
A military character had also been
formed with the unconcealed purpose Of.
preventing Brooks from being sworn in
as Governor of the State. This merely
personal squabble was allowed to pro-
coed to some extent, when the Senate
took the matter in hand, and by a strict
partisan vote referred the resolution of
inquiry to the Military Committee. |
Messrs. Fenton, Trumbull, Ferry Con-
necticutI and Upton voted with the
Democrats AGAINST the references.

The New Japanese Educational System
Prospecting for a Congressional
Recess.

WASHINGTON, December 5. II Mori,
Japanese Minister, has received the de-
tails of the new educational system in
Japan, which embraces the organization
Of eight colleges, two hundred and fifty
six high schools, and over fifty thousand
public schools, at which the attendance
is to be compulsory for all children abOvs
six years Of age.
Some members of Congress are dis
cussing the question whether the public
business will probably be Ia such a state
Of forwardness two weeks hence as viii
justify the taking of the usual holiday
recess.
The second yearly report of the South
ern Claim Commissioners, TO be sent to
the Speaker of the House tomorrow,
states that from the organization of the
Commission in March, 1871, to the end,
November, 1872, 100 claims were
filed, which in the aggregate sum over
45,00O,0 600. 1t is claimed of these
27S6 cases, representing S., 5,424,-
314 as claimed, have been disposed Of
by awards amounting to 81 1885,
OO0 About 100 cases claiming
s., 500, 600 have been investigated, and
are under further consideration, the
claims appearing to be meritOriOus, but
the proofs are insufficient on which to
frame just awards. This will leave about
$4,000 untouched cases, amounting to
some S37, 600, 600, when the Commission
expires by law next March. With the
experience gained in the past two years,
the Commissioners think they could dis
pose of all the claims before them in
about four years, butt would require un-
diligence to do the work in
that time.
