The Arkansas Question In Cabinet.
WAsnlSeroN. May g

WASHINGTON, May 8.
The cabinet was in session nearly two
hours today during which the Arkansas
question was under consideration. II was
expected that the general government
would have made some decision in re-
Spouse 10 the many applications from the
representatives OF contendng factions in
this case, but no conclusions have been
reached as yet here. The decision of the
supreme court fayoring the Brooks side
of the case IN such direction is in contra
dction of its previous decision that the
legislature had exclusive control of the
question, has the effect of augmenting the
difficulties under which the general govern
ment rests in arriving at n solution of the
vexed question.
This new phase OF the matter was talked
of at some length in the cabinet session and
a reversal of the former opinion of the su-
preme court of the state occasoned sur
prise. no member of the cabinet has made
Il definite or positive expression of opinion
on the subject. All the papers that have
been presented in the case were read to-day
There may be some decision tomorrow but
there is no certainty of 1t as the attorneys
of the different parties are continually send
ing kilograms and presenting new points
and arguments which they are anxious to
have considered.
a cabinet officer said this afternoon that
the government was hearty tired of the
controversy. When its decision is made a
proclamation will be issued which all will
understand must settle the question.

The Destitulion on the Mississippi.


The relief committee this morning re-
ceived a large number of letters and appli-
cations for relief from the overiOwed dis
tricts, particularly from the lower portions
of Arkansas where destituiion is great and
more general than elsewhere.
The following extracts from letters will
afford an i,lea Of suffering and dcsliluton
there, and may serve as an appeal to the
philanthrophic throughout the land
well known planter writing from Bcr-
nard, ChicOt county. Arkansas SAYS There
is needed in this section rations for 1000
persons and forage for their stock, Their
lands are under water and the dcstituion
here will be very great nearly every one
in the overlooked district having lost their
stock and having nothing left to aid them
in purchasing necessary rations. These
persons all require help until they can
raise some corn Help us all you can. Our
people are truly suffering and unless we
get aid to make at least some corn this por-
ton of the country will be abandoned by
fully one half Of the laborers
Petitian from $50 colorel lahorcrs Of Ar
kansas City and vicinity has been forwarded
by J. w. Dickinson, formerly cotton fac
tor here, which SAYS the undersigned. col.
orcd people of Arkansas City and neigh
boring plantations. would respectfully state
that we are in destitute condition, only a
few of us having a few days ratlons. and
they have been furnished by owners Of
plantations who now have not enough for
their own families The water stand as
high as four feet above the floors Of manv
Of our houses. Some of us have had To
move out and live with others ~ best We
can. Over all the plantations the water
stands from three to five feet. l.cypcs are
all broken. Fire, gone out and our stock
has been greatly reduced from drowning
and starvation. Our friends, the white
people, have done all they could and can
do no more, now we can see nothing hut
starvation and death for many of lis unless
the good people will aid us. and that soon
Mr., Dickinson in forwarding the petit
ton says il does not make the condition Of
the people us bad us i; really is, some of
their families are on my place and have
been feeding them far four weeks, three Of
which they have been cooped up in their
houses on platforms three feet above their
floors, cant feed them any longer but
hope something will he done for these poor
negroes, they will suffer soon. some of
them have not enough left for their own
families, and others are living ON hominy
alone and parched corn.
Ga the other side of the river from
where these letters are written there is CON
siderable dcstiution. but Governor Amcs
and other state officials are taking steps to
relieve them. But in Arkansas owing to
the troubled condition Of affairs at the cap
lial nothing is being done for them and
they are entirely dependent on the chart
ties Of citizens of other states. The relief
committee here is doing good work but can
relieve only Il small portion of the inun-
dated district At lIopcfield opposite here.

In the course of his remarks he turned 10
the president, Mr. Dodge. Of the firm Of
Phelps, Dodge & Co.. and said much as
he Davis had been denounced for saying
that while the firm of the president had
violated the law. yet they had been free
from fraud. He Davis never had enter.
tanned n contrary opinion. and, where
statute had been violated. il was the duty
of public officers to prosecute whether the
act was done in ignorance of the law or
not. Mr.. Dodge responded 10y saying that
an insnuation that judge Davis wrote
a letter to their firm, under promise Of
compensation, was untrue. and not one
cent directly or indirectly. had been paid
or offered Judge Davis. Mayor Ilayemeyer,
in his speech at the same banquet. said the
city Of New York was treated by the last
legislature like a conquered province, aud
the commerce and trade of the city are
suffering from such legislation at Albany

In the district investigation to-day Coy
Shepherd was cross-eXaminel M to adj

the violation of the act of Congress by the
board, in deviating from the grade estab-

said the board tried to get the views of the
architect of the capitol on the subject, hut
he refused to put the same in writing so
the board went ahead and usei their own
discretion. Witness thought the OUTLAWS

government was placed too high. He
urged upon members of the legislature the
passage of the sewer bill, but never prom
ised any lavors to induce them to vote for
it, although several demanded them. Wit
