There is great strife in Arkansas,
which threatens to become a bloody
war. Gov. Baxter. it is ALLEGED by
the man who now occupies the State
House, Brooks, vas fraudaIently
elected, and has occupied the position
Of Governor only Though the power he
has possessed as Executive. The mat
ter has been before the courts. and it IS
claimed by Gov. Baxter that undue
measures were taken by Brooks to OBJ
tain q decision favorable to his ends,
and that Judgment Of custer was pro
cured thereby, without warrant Of law
as proceeding from the proper Judicial
Authority.
Immediately after the rendition of
judgment, Brooks proceeded to take
forcible possession Of the Capitol, and
now both parties are exercising the
Prerogatives Of Governor, AMI claiming
to be the legal incumbent Of the posi-
ton. Martial law ! 5 been declared
by Governor Baxter, anl troops are
arming by thousands. Cannon are in
position, and everything looks like war

over the country Of the minutes OF

2. They must keep a list Of all the
registered voters as fast az they are
being registered on the books, and
this list must mention: lst, the name,
I'd, the age, 81, the color, 9TH, the

3. As soon as they qualify and en-
ter the office, they must make out a

tho people. We have appealed to
arms, and demonstrated that his gov
ernment cannot support itself. We
swept it away at a single blow, but
the Federal power has restored it.
We have nothing left save the glo-
rious half.tearful recollection of the
two sunshiny days that mark an
oasis in the desert of sorrowful years
that have come to Louisiana since
the war. But we have not lost hope.
We have been deprived Of the sub
stantial results of our victory by the
strong arm Of the National Govern
ment, but we have faith in the great
heart of the American people, and
we appeal to their patriotism; to
their devotion to liberty; and to their
sense Of right and justice for such
action as will aid us in our dire ex-
tremity.
We are loyal to the United States
Government. We claim to be as
peaceable and law-abiding as any
other community. Aud in support OF
these assertions we point with pride
to the late revolution, which has no
parallel in history.
The spectacle Of great people ris-
ing in their might aud overthrowing
usurping and Ubiquitous govern
meut, without single act of lawless
ness to mar the grandeur of the act,
is one not afforded to every genera
ton, and IN itself furnishes the strong
est commentary on the partizan act
Of the National Executive in order.
Ing almost the entire army into a
peaceful State for the purpose of COM
pleting the overthrow of its people in
the interests of his own political am
bition. The plea Of dissoyalty is dis
posed Of by the quiet surrender to
the United States Government Of the
legitimate and duly elected officers of
the State--at a time when they were
in the full possession and execution
OF their perOgatives-and when no
other organized government or clai.
mant was on the soil of the State,
We repeat, we cannot compound
with fraud aud villainy and retain
our own self respect, much less the
respect of our fellow-couDtry men,
who, watching the grand struggle in
Louisiana with no ordinary concern,
but as men having a personal inter-
est in the result. If we weakly yield
to the alluring promises Of the base
men who have trampled upon us and
attempted to strangle free govern
ment in this State, we become our
selves, parties to great crime against
civil liberty and in reality assist in
forging chains for our future en-
thrallment.--N. O. Bulletin.

by fraud and force, because he want
ed the electoral vote Of the State,
which a majority Of the voters had
given to the other side. That wick
red deed has broughtlfort full crop
of crimes. We have seen him dis.
persing legislature at the point OF
the bayonet, expelling q legitimate
government will, threats OF martial
law aud reversing the course OF JUS
tice by the scandalous support of a
perjured court. His own friends
have exclaimed at the iniQuity of
these proceedings and warned him to
desist. The hottest partisans of his
administration have denounced the
wicked usurpations of Kellogg and
Duell with an indignation that does
them credit. Seventeen Repnbli-
can Senators voted ip February, 1873,
to declare the pretended election of
Kellogg null and void, and to turn
him ont ofotIice. The President him.
self finally admitted in a special mes
sage to Congress that so many forge
ries and frauds had been discovered
that he was not sure of Kellogg's IT,
tie !: an official investigation proved
the rascality of the whole transaction
beyond any possibility of denial, but
the President would not halt; he
must carry out his original crime to
its natural consequences, and the ill.,
exorable logic of events has led him
to this browning shame. For the first
time in the history of the United
States the sohier of the Union arc
employed to drive out legitimate
Governor and place miserable pre-
tender in the State-house to shoot
down in the streets the people who
may refuse to obey him. For this
disgraceful and disheartening spec
tacIe the Congress which refuses to
act on the Louisiana report, and the
Republican party which tacitly ap
proved the wrong, are both to blame ;
but it is upon the President that the
chief responsibility must rest the
President, who kegau the long course
Of oppression the President who
could have stopped it at any moment
if he had chosen, and could stop it
now; the President, who is probably
the only man in America not ashamed
Of the whole business, and who comes
forward in the midst of it asking for Il
third term.

The Southern sRepublican Con-
ventiOn,
REPRESENTATIVE MEN'To BE PRESENT.

The New York Tribune, in speak
ing Of the probable composition Of
the proposed Southern Republican
Convention, designed to inquire into
and report upon the condition Of the
Southern States, says:
It ought not to be difficult to select
a few score Of eminent Southern Re-
publicans who will fairly represent
the men "inside politics." in whose
interest they are to be assembled.
South Carolina, of course, will send
honest John Patterson, formerly of
Pennsylvania, who can tell the peo-
pie Of the Union how the South has
been affronted by carpet haggers buy
ing seats in the Senate from her dus-
Ky legislators. Tie Hon. Franklin
J. Moses can explain the processes Of
vulgar peculation, and ex-senator
Sawyer and ex-Congressman Bowen
can testify as to the practice of ship
ping hands from the sea islands
to vote in the city of Charleston.
Alabama will have an accomplished
spokesman in the person of the Hon.
George E. Spencer, formerly of Iowa,
who knows more, perhaps, than any
other statesman in Alabama about
those demoralizing bargains with the
President which have made Southern
politics so unspeakably corrupt
From Arkansas might come the Hon.
Powell Clayton, formerly of New
York, and what he cannot tell about
fraud is not worth knowing. Texas
might add to the. list of delegates al
ready appointed he name of Senator
Flanagan, who j One of the best liv-
ing authorities T. the defects of the
Southern education system, and she
has also fine assortment of pictures.

cure their company. Louisiana breeds

back, Casey, Packard, Durell, War
moth, Herwig-what stories they
could tell if the Convention would
only resolve itself into an Experience
Meeting. What schemes of rascality
they'could describe; what prodigies
of registration, what miracles Of
counting, what astounding operations
of the courts, what novel political
uses for revenue cutters, what inge-
NOUS devices for fleeing commerce,
squeezing tax payers and emptying
the treasury into the pockets of the
faithful! All the ills that have ours
ed the South since reconstruction, all
the dangers that threaten her future
might he illustrated in such con-
yention az this.
The assemblage would also be a
spectacle full of suggestion for the
North. There, at one glance, We
should see every variety of political
parasite that feeds upon the PROSTATE
States, every species of rogue, yaga-
bond and insolent pretender that has
made republican government ut the
South q reproach to all the civilized
world.

THE SINGER,
The Worlds Favorite.

THE SALES Of the SINGER last year
was the greatest ever attained for
any Sewing Machine in year, and was
nearly double the sales Of it's highest
competitor, as may be seen by reference
to the account Of sales for 1873, from
sworn returns made to the owners Of the
Sewing Machine Patents-from which
statistics we select the five leading ma
chimes, Wis.
sThe Singer sold 232,444
{" Wheeler g. Wilson, I" 1880
Domestic, I" 40,ll4
Grover e. Baker, I" 1916
Weed, -" 1863
It will he observed that the difference
in favor Of the SINGER, is the enormous
amount of 1925 over the highest com.
petipr. This result has been obtained
after years Of competition.
We submit to an interested public if it
is claiming too much to say 1.-The Singer
is the most popular Sewing Machine in
the world.
