Senator Clayton ~ well his colleague, disaVoWed
all knowledge OF the movement until it had been lade
public He states that bis first Information on tho SUD
ject was derived nom the papers. Every man In
Arkansas he said, knows that have always ADVISED
peace as far as Gov. Baxter was conoerned Ihe
Governor made a mistake in calling troops around him
and that was step could not approve OF. III had
done such a thing when was Governor would nave
been denounced by every one the whole
proceeding IA contrary TO my Judgment It brings doubt
and turmoil and confusion into the State" II there
should be an attempt Gust Gov. Baxter by force he
feared that there would be collision. II might be that
separate government would be organized without any
attempt to oat Gov Baxter. On the point that he had
been accused OF completely in the movement SEN
ator CLAYTON was emphatic. He denied oil
connection with IL In any way, and affirmed
thai he did not believe that halfa-dozen regular
Republicans in the State knew beforehand Of the exist
ence OF such au intention the part OF the political
managers who had IL in charge. Among other
he urged as rendering it improbable that he should
have the scheme, the fact that Baxter the
man who was be oustcd, was his warm friend and
political ally, while Brooks. By this TO
be elevated 20 power his unrelenting enemy and
had hunted him " like seuth-hound fr years" 1t
absur he claimed, that he should DO charged with
proposing TO depOse the and elevate the other.

The Committee of Seventy-Its Mission
and Something of ITS History and Biog-
raphy- Mayor Mavemcyer their Re-
proach; etc., etc.
NEW YORK. June 9Th. 1874.

NEW YORK, June 8th, 1873
"To be or not to be-that is the question:
which engaged the Committee of Seventy at
its last session.
Twenty zone molths have elapsed since the
great awakening oceasioned by discoveries of
gigantic robberies, by city officials, found a
voice in an immense meeting of citizens in and
around Cooper Institute, and the creation Of
committee to investigate the frauds, to drive
perpetrators out of Office, and if possible to
bring them to the bar of justice.
The undertaking was not only stupendous
one, but the difficulties that stood in the way
ofits accomplishment were manifold and for.
midable. The criminals to be pursued had
been clothed with authority by the people. and
were iptrenched behind statutes cunningly de-
vsed by themselves to battle popular espionage
The judicial power was all on their side and
long IMMUNITY had made them bold and de-
fant.
The sole weapon of the Seventy was moral
force. 1t was David's sling against Goliah'
armor.
But notwithstanding all the discouragements
and obstacles of the situation, the practical re-
suits attained have been of inestimabe value
one by one the defenses of the "Ring" have
Ialeh under tt e persistent attacks of the be-
se'geIs: The abdication, first of Connolly,
neA' Vi Tweed and Sweeny, the confessions of
M-y'e, anu Harvey, the protested penitence of
.""' 'ue "sh' from the bench CT Cardozo and
VI "riio,e punishment of Barnard, are all 80
many evidences of the power of pnblic orin;on
when enlightened and aroused, even in a oo,,,,
munity whose proverbial torpor and .,or sJu.
has been grief to all believers in se,f'Uo,.a. Ss
ment.
Much has been left undone, and ,n.
things have been done badly. Mistakes nt
omission and commission were to be expected
and ought not to be too severely criticised, es-
pecally in view of the fact that the net result
has been so satisfactory.
The time seems opportune for the
Committee of Seventy to disband. 1t
mas fulfilled its mission. Formed for the pull
pose OF serving as sort of provisional govern
nent, untla new one could be organized, its
functions naturally ceased when the places
provided by the charter had been filled. It has
no place in the new system, and no constituent
cy to represent. 1t can now retire with dieni-
The Portland daily press., 1873-06-10

Mr.. BRADLAUGH.th the English Republican,
who went to Spain to take view of affairs
there as they exist, gives glowing account
OF the situation. in that country. The peo-
pie, he represents, are well disposed towards
the Republic and may be relied on il the
present government can give the country
peace. The evidences Of the inefflciency of
the army are numerous. The officers, -many
of them, have no heart in the contest, ard
are as much disposed to find fault with the
Republic as the Carlists. Mr.. Bradlaugh
says that if the army was handled with ener-
gy, the Carlists could be defeated in a brief
space. 1t is to be hoped that the new gov
eminent will be able to soowa more determ-
ined purpose, which seems to be the thing
most needed now.
