THE ARKANSAS CONTEST.
The Third Congressional District.

From Washington Chronicle, Feb. IS.
BY reference to our Congressional re
port Of yesterday it will be seen that the
House Of Representatives was the arena
of considerable interest over the contest
or seat from the Sd district in Arkan-
sas, between Mr.. Thomas NJ. Gunter and
Mr.. w. w. Wiltshire The majority re.
port of the committee recommend that
Mr.. Wiltshire be admitted to the seat, sub
ject to the future judgment of the House
on its merits. A minority report was
also presented recommending that Meth
or be admitted to seat at present, and
that the whole case be referred to the
committee for a report upon its merits.
A vote was taken on this last proposition
and decided in the negative by ll6 to
M The question then recurring on the
majority resolution to admit Mr.. Will
shire temporarily, it was passed by lis
in the affirmative to SO in the negative,
A molten being made to reconsider the
House jiourned, leaving this question
as the unfinished business Tor TO-DAY.
This case is anomalous. The usage Of
the House has been to admit those to
seats who held regular certificates Of elec
ton, Of course subject to the future judg.
lhcnt of the House on full hearing of
the facts. In this case, however, neither
party TO the contest holds certificate Of
election. The Governor Of State mere
" certified to schedule of the resultas
made up from the official returns in the
Office OF the Secretary Of State, and GER
tain annotatons appended thereto. These
appear to show the following state of
facts, viz
That "W. w Wiltshire" received l2,,
644 votes, and Wiltshire" II votes
That "Thos NJ Gunter' received H.
400 votes, and =" Gunther' sol votes, and
a note appended to this schedule says
that scattering votes were polled in Pu.
laski county for "Gunter," IS. NJ Gun
ter" IT. Nj. Gntee," "Thos NJ. Gun
tee" "T. Res Gunter," "Thos. NJ. Cren-
ter tosthe number Of l,456.
or course, this apparent majority in IA
vor of Mr. Gunter may be overcome by
other testimony. AS Republican we
hope this may prove to be the case. But
the question for the House to decide now
is, do tho papers presented show on their
face that either Mr.. Wiltshire or Mr.. Gun
ter is entitled to seat? We confess
that we are compelled to conclude from
the papers published that if either has a
primo facje case it is Mr.. Gunter, and not
Mr. Wiltshire, whom the majority of the
committee propose to admit to seat.
Certainly the safest course would be to
refer the whole case to the committee for
n report on its merits. This would do
neither party injustice.
The Republican majority in the House
is too strong to justify them in seeming
to strain either the facts or the law to
gain temporary advantage. After a full
hearing on the merits, they can award
the seat to the gentleman who may be
found to be entitled to it, and also do full
justice to his opponent by way Of allow.
ance for mileage and per diem during the
contest. For this is evidently no sham
case Of contest on either side, made
merely with hope Of securing such al

The Campaign Of "a.

AGC SAhPsSb~ W ~
We find some Of our contemporaries be
ginning to talk of the Fall elections. Il
il not rather too early to begin? Oul
impression is, that grand mistake was
made last campaign by holding conven.
tions at too early day If Greeley had
been nominated by ajoint convention OF
Liberals aud Democrats, two months be-
fore the election, he would have made a
much better race He would not have
been elected perhaps, but his chances
would have been better. Let us not rush
into the coming campaign, but let us take
it easy and let events develop themselves
Somewhat Make haste slowly before
convention and make things "red hot ;"
after and until the election is over. The
coming election is all.important to Ar
kansas. 1t is general overhauling and
we have too much at stake to hazard any
thing by hasty action. We must select
good men for the various positions we
will be called upon to fll. aud we should
deliberate calmly before fixing upon our
men 1t is long time before the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember and many changes may come.
The Louisiana muddle and the financial
problem, are before us We cannot yet
tell what the result Of Congressional ac-
ton may be, and this result will doubt
less have u marked effect on the politics
Of Arkansas as we'll as the entire Union
The Oranges are still coming more and
more prominently to the front, and we
cannot forcsee the effects to follow their
action. The Temperance movement is
gaining ground daily and will doubtless
enter into our politics this Fall. Disis-
tegration is the present prevailing polti.
cal law, chrystalizatiou will come in its
proper time, and no man or set Of men
can hasten it 1t is born of true popular
opinion and is not made by leaders. The
Patrons Of Husbandry and Temperance
men can do much towards shaping and
giving individuality to this coming chrys-
talization, il they shape their course
wisely. They may by folly become cy-
piers. So we mad better take it for
granted that time will open our eyes to
many things, and not be over anxious to
open the campaign Shrewd Radicals
have heretofore made practice of lying
in wait for the mistakes Of the Conscrva-
tives and they have made profit by it.
Let us try to watch little, too, and not
be pulled up with the idea that the Con
servative party must succeed. because the
Radicals are quarrelling. The honest
Republicans are trying to correct the
evils existing in their party, but they are
still Republicans, and as between Demo
,crats or Liberal Republicans and the Ras-
Gals they now abuse, they will unhesitat-
ingly 60 for the rascals to preserve the
