ARKANSAS.

The st. Louis Republican says The
psope of Arkansas seem to have more
reason to be disguised at the result of the
late election than any other citizens of the
United States. About fifty thousand Of
them are DISTINGUISHED on partisan consider
ations, and, with this advantage conferred
by law to begin on, the Clayton faction
succeeds, by fraudulent registration, ballot
box stufiug and skillful manipulation of the
returns, in retaining the government of the
whole population in the hands of about one
fifth. They have proclaimed the election of
their candid ate, Baxter, but the supper
tiers of Brooks declare that he received the
majority in spite Of all the rsscaliLy, and that
the attempt 10 count Baxter in is trans
parent swindle. Meetings have been held
and resolutions pissed denouucing the
claim Of Baxter TO be inauguated as
Governor, and the feeling rms so high that
violence is threatened, and Gov. Hadley is
said TO have called On the President for
troops to aid in seating the new minstrel
Governor. A meeting, held last Saturday
st Fort Smith, adopted resolutions iercely
denouncing the election officers, and inau-
gurating steps toward their prosecution.
The resolutions were harmless enough, but
some of the speakers boldly proposed the
Inauguration Of Brooks, and asked how
many of those present were willing to go
to Little Rock to witness the same. Almost
unanimously the audience volunteered to
60 at the proper time. Tee authorities at
Little Rock do not lize such meetings, and
they are counting their muskets"

RADICAL nNTrSTICE.,,

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes under date
Of tie oh inst. as follows:
"a telegram was to-day received here
from prominent Republican in high office
in Alabama, saying that, from present Judi
cations, be could not doubt that the tend
ency OF sii..irs pointed 10 the choice ofs0me
good Republican By the Democratic Legs
lsiure in that State for Senator, thus defeat
iIg the Spencer ring, which has not the Ger
titcate."
The Legislature Of Alabama has elected
a United States Senator, but not of the
politics indicated by this 'fprcminent Re-
publican" and now the question will be
RENTED 10 the Senate of the United States
to decide whether be or Spencer, who was
elected by the boilers, shall represent Ala
bama in that body. But the statement We
have Quoted shows the sentiment of large
portion Of the Southern people. In con-
test between 2 Democrat and a Republican,
they have no hope that Congress will decide
impartially, and hence they are often will
ing 10 accept respectable Republican in
preference to such uuscuruplous and corrupt
crpet-baggersa as Spencer. VIII the time ever
come when the voice ofthe Southern people
will be respected rs freemen, when they
can assert their rights as they did before The
war? Here is a prominent Republican"
who evidently bel eyed that it was neces-
sary for the Legislature of Alabama to elect
a msu of his own politics to defeat the
boilers, who had selected" Spencer. He
knows how Cong ess deals with questions
in which the Sou lern people are interested
as against the csrpet-baggers and their ma
tive associates and allies, and he knows
that justice never falls in such cases. where

Z HAsTY legislation or that hich is not
carefully considered, is apt to create trouble

great difficulty on the subject Of her Con

which her Legislature has been nnsuccess-
fully tinkering, she is Low under
the unpleasant apprehension that q bill
viii be passed by The Legislature authoriz-

whole difficulty has arisen from the vague
ness of the law, that seems to have left an
irreconcilsble conflict.

TIE Pbiladelphia Press. Grant orgar

THE Philadelphia Press, Grant organ,
has this to say in its issue of Dec. Z:
Gas Shakespeare says, the story of the
clique of politicians calling themselves
Republicans who are at Washington trying
to induce the President to interfere in the
Alabama legislative quarrel in their behalf
is 100 thin and bare to hide Offences
The truth is had there been no SeDa orisl
election in Alabama this winter there would
Nhaye been 30 quarrel over the organization
81 the Legislature"
We put this on record because it is not
absolutely certain that Grant viii not yet
espouse the cause of the boilers, and the
Press be called upon to defend him.
