CnRRECTION.

In our report of the proceedings Of the
hoard Of aldermen, yesterday, intro.
ducing the letter of Nj. George Phelanr
containing the charges of malfeasanct
against Mayor johnson, the reporter
used the word conspiracy" as to Mr..
Harrington and Mr.. W. B. Greenlaw.
This, it is needless to say, was an mad
vertance. Neither our reporter nor our
selves, nor indeed the public, have any
reason TO believe that these gentle
men would conspire for that
or any other purpose. Both, among
our most worthy citizens, gentle
men who have done much 10 make
Memphis what she is, the one as
president of the Little Rock railroad,
and the other as president OF one of the
best conducted and safest banks in the
Union, have given earnest ofhigher mo-
tive in life and better feeling toward
our citizens than the word conspiracy"
would imnly.

II is the great misfortune of the board
of aldermen that Mr.. Paul Cieaiia, how
ever well intentioned, does not, because
he cannot, bring to the performance
al his duties as the presiding officer Of

nv usage or law, and that for some rea-

founders like one following "will-o'-

LITTLE Rock, April l0.-The senate
passed house bill authorizing school dis
tricts to issue bonds to build school
houses. Also, a house bill defining the
duties of curators, guardians and wards.
The house election bill was manipulated
and amended in the senate election
committee, and the abortion was foisted
upon the senate and rushed through
rapidly. Said bill was to perpetuate
certain men in power. FriersOn ten
dered an amendment, the president rul-
| ing him out of order. Refusing TO yield
the floor, a motion was made and car
ried to place him in charge of the SER
! geant-at-arms. Upon motion of Mr..
Clayton, Frierson was released from ar
rest, after having been d few moments
in dllraRce rile. Beavers said If hell were
raked il could not prodcue a more in
| iquitOus measure. Mr.. Rstcliff asked
that the title be made to read, 'Biu TO
further enslave and rob the people Of Ar
kansas" This bill places registration
and the election machinery in the hands
of the lieutenant governor, treasurer and
auditor, and vacates the offices of con-
stable aud justice of the peace within
thirty days after the passage of the bill,
the offices TO be refilled by appointment
by the governor, justices to hold until
January, 1876, and cOnstables until jan
uary, 1874. Such Republicans as War
wick, Fox, McGebee and White will
oppose its passage through the house.
The house made an excellent law to-
day. a bill to protect farmers from
careless persons who leave fences down,
gates open, cut and haul wood upon
lands belonging to others. The present
law makes it trespass, this makes it
criminal, and punishable with heavy
penalties or imprisonment. A bill, pro-
vlding circuit clerks in counties of
ten thousand inhabitants, divide the
State into sixteen judicial districts. Re
districting the State for congressional
purposes was called and made a special
order. The house consumed the evening
session in defeating the bill donating
lands forfeited for taxes to a ghostly
ring. MeGehee and Fox deemed il
highway robbery, or assault upon the
State with intent to kill, and mauy who
supported the great railroad bin opposed
it yehemently and death-knelled it.
The Gazette this morning reflected
upon Fitzpatrick of the Oseeola notorie-
ty. He produces Skinner in to-mor-
rows Republican, Ventilsting the whole
story of Mississippi county and its late
war and troubles.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The secre-
tary of the interior has received a letter
from the ModOc peace commissioner,
Meacham, in which Meacham says the
principal impediment to peace negotia-
tions is the fear that the Indians indicted
by the Jackson county grand jury will
be given up for punishment. The peace
commissioners and military are, how
ever, working together harnoniously TO
overcome the distrust of the Modocs,
but great difficulty Is encountered from
the Intervention OF bad white men, who,
from mercenary motives, desire pro-
longation of the war. Meacham saws
the desire of the government is well un-
derstood by bis colleagues and the mill
taTy, and no means will be left untried
to secure peace. Secretary Delano had
advised the military not 10 give up the
indicted Indians, but rather to remove
them If they surrendered.
The commissioner Of Indian affairs
received letter from superintendent
Hoags stating that be had not yet dis
covered who were the perpetrators of
the murder Of the four surveyors. He
reports that the Cheyennes and Ara
pRhoes are disturbed on their buffalo
range by the whites south of Arkansas
river. Their treaty of 1897 provides that
they may hunt as long as they desire.
They are also disturbed and injured ry
