Discord among Republicans on the Fl
nancal Question.

The Washington te!cgraphic letter OF
the ST. Louis Republican of the 18th,
says;
The renewal, in the house, to-day, OF
the debate on finances was inevitable, and
only the hoarseness Of Mr.. Dawes, who
held the floor, prevented the discussion
yesterday 1t is.apparent, however that
no practical results will follow the pres
ent discussion. The differences in the
ranks of the republicans are hopelessly
irreconciable, and so pregnant with IA
tai dscord that the caucus of the house,
which had been resolved upon for Tues
day evening, has been indefinitely
postponed. 1t is even said that the call
FOR the caucus lay on the Speakers desk,
Tuesday, and upon his personal respon
sibility was suppressed when the debate
evinced what small chance there was OF
harmonizing the party on the question
Meantime Mr.. Kelley avows his inten-
tention to push the 3.65 bill to vote at
all hazards, and having succeeded in get
ting it in position where it blocks the
way to all legislation, action must be ta'
ken upon it, before even appropriation
bills can be considered. Opinions differ
as to the fate Of the bill; and though MIR.
Kelley assumes to be confident of its
passage, it is generally believed that it
will fail.

Stoddard's Bank Suspended

From the Little Rock Republican of
Saturday, we get the following in regard
to the suspension Of Stoddard d Bros,
Bank at Little Rock This, we believe,
is one of the mushrooms that spring up
under the Clayton & Co.'S dynasty:
Considerable excitement prevailed in
moneyed circles yesterday on account of
the suspension of the bank of Stoddard
Brothers d Co. The bank did not open
at the usual hour, and of course, rumor
was busy for time, and as many stories
as there are sections in Gantt's digest,
were banded about the streets during
the morning.
The suspension was caused by dam
aging report sent from here by the cor
respondent of the ST Louis commercial
agency that the institution was in fail
ing condition. The report coming back,
caused run on the bank Wednesday
and Thursday, all checks, however. being
paid up to the regular hour of closing
Thursday.
In an interview with Mr.. John Stod-
dard we learned that the assets Of the
are more than City per cent. above the
liabilities. and depositors will receive
their money as soon as collections can
be made. and the suspension will he but
temporary. The commercial agent de-
nies that he sent the report to st. Louis
that the bank was in failing condition,
but claims that he said it was not doing
as much business as formerly, and was
weakened by funds drawn out by the
county collector.
There was slight run on the other
banks-Merchaht' National and Brod
ie's-for short time, but they were well
supplied with means and were not affect.
ed. Several prominent business men
called at these institutions and were per-
milted to examine into their condition,
and we are assured they found them even
in better state than was anticipated

Arkansas Affairs at Washington.

The Washington correspondent OF the
st. Louis Republican, under date of the
9th, gives the following action of the
Republican sensational concern on the
affairs of Arkansas:
The Republican senator's were in eau
Gus, this afternoon on the subject OF Ar
kansas affairs, but adjourned without
coming to any conclusion Only few
senators expressed themselves in favor
Of intervention, and even these were not
agreed as to the exact form Of move

the state did not justify any congrcssion
al measures, all accounts representing the
people generally to be satisfied with the
present government with no cause foI

the condition of Louisiana was also dis
cussod. Several senator's said it would
be found on examination that the gov
ernment in one or two of the other
Southern states had no more legal exist

Little Rock and Fl. Smith Railroad.

The franchises, bonds and everything
belonging to The above-named road, were
sold, last Thursday, under a decree of
the United States Circuit Court, the
parties owning the mortgage of
the road, and for whose benefit it was
sold, being the purchasers; and it is gen
orally understood that they will immedi-
ately commence the construction of the
road from Claiksville, and push its COM
pletion to this place. We are not fully
advised as to the matter Of the decree,
under which the road has been sold but
suppose some arrangement has been
made as to the settlement of the debts
due and owing to the citizens along the
route, and which, we are informed, do not
amount TO over $4,000; but we take
1t for granted that they have been pro
