of the opinion that President Grants procla-

The Arkansas Republican State Conven-
ton met on the 10th, but adjourned sine die.
without nominating any ticket of State OIL
GERS under the new Constitution. An adj
dress was prepared for publication, which
asserts that as the State Constitution makes
no provision for the calling OF Constitution
al Convention, consequently the acts Of the
late Convention were constitutionally null
and void. That Baxter was not Governor at
the time the Legislature convened which
called the Convention, consequently he had
no right to call the same; and even II the
Legislature had been called together by
lawful Executive, II was an illegal body, in
that thirty three members OF the House
and six in the Senate, were given seats
where vacancies had not occurred, either by
death or resignation. The address further
says: we feel confident that Congress will,
at an early day, take up the Arkansas case
and decide in our favor. The North has not
changed its mind toward the South since il
wrested the Southern State Governments
from the hands Of disloyal men in 1868. The
question is not one merely OF contest, but
whether Congress has the power TO regulate
these State Governments. We contend, If
Congress finds that republican form Of gov
ernment has ceased TO exist in these States,
IL has power to restore the Government to
those to whom II rightfully belongs
