Andrew Johnson will address the pup

is certain of q crowded house. II we
are not mistaken, Mr.. Johnson was hrst
elected to the Legislature in ls35-the
wear after the Constitutional Convention
was held. Colonel Charles d. MCLEAN
and General ]. c N. Robinson, two OF
our Oldest and most highly esteemed
citizens, we're members Of that conven-
tion. and of the Legislature which met
in 1895. Time has wrought wondrous
changes since then, but these three old
citizens, Eve learn, met together the other
day, and without exactly shouldering
crutch to show how battles were lost and
won, they recounted many OF the scenes
through which they passed in early and
subsequent life. A local historian,ifpr
emit. might have recorded many an inter-
esting "Reminiscences for the pages of
some future State work. Mr.. johnson
is only sixty-fve years old, and bids fair
TO be in active life at least ten years
longer. he is the youngest of the TRIO
that M 1t at the Peabody day or two
since to spin yarns and recount more
youthful exploits. General Robinson is
eighty-two and Colonel C. D. MCLEAN
seventy-nine years of age. They retired
from public life voluntarily. Mr.. John
son has made politics profession, and
it is not easy for him voluntarily to
retire. He has been here several days,
and will doubtless make a significant
speech tonight. The effect and the
results ultimately depend entirely upon
its discretion and tone. We have no
suggestions or comments to make in ad-
vance, but shall criticise the speech it
self and not the man. If it is concilia-
tory, well; if not, not.

NEW YORK.

New York, May ia Washington
dispatch of yesterday says the President
to-day unequivocally condemned the
currency bill passed by the Senate. He
considered the bill as originally reported
by the Finance Committee as compro-
mise, and though not such measure as
he would wish had been passed to pro-
vide for specie payment, yet he would
have been willing to accept it as a COM
promise with the South and the West.
The amount of issue he looks upon as q
step in the wrong direction, and an at
tempt on the part of initiation Senators
to claim by new demand what he
clearly refused to recognize in his last
veto message. He now urges the lead
ing men in the House to have the bill so
amended as to make it consistent for
him to sign it in the event Of the Senate
concurring in the amendment. The
President also desires that Congress
shall do something, if only to give
effect to the redistribution act. Either
this or tie original Senate bill will
receive his appreciation. Otherwise his
veto can be relied upon.

HAPPY ARKANSAS.

Every lover of peace and good order
rejoices at the action Of General Grant
in ordering the usurper Brooks to dis
band his ragamuffins in favor of Baxter.
There is hope for Arkansas yet, and we
have only to regret that General Grant
did not issue his proclamation three
weeks sooner, whereby several lives
would have been spared and the State
saved an immense cost which the tax
payers have to meet sooner or later.
Besides this, the business interests OF
the State have suffered severely and the
effects will be felt for months to come.
Millions of dollars would not repay Ar
kansas for the general loss sustained at
1.-THE hands Of the Brooks party. 1t is
matter of regret that Brooks and
half a dozen Of his adjuncts can
not be sent to the penitentiary, where
they justly belong. 1t is not the
fashion in Arkansas to inaugurate the
candidate receiving the largest number
of votes unless he belongs to the domi-
nant party. 1t is said that Baxter re-
ceived less votes than Brooks, but he
was inaugurated and decided to be the
Governor by the Supreme Court and the
Legislature, and held peaceable posses
sion of the Office, making an excellent
Governor for nearly two years, when
Brooks, having sold out to Clayton and
company for infamous political purposes,
seized the office by force and without the
shadow or sanction of law. Baxter was
sick at the time or he might have acted
more promptly. The Citizens Of the
State having the greatest interests at
stake were on his side and rallied to his
support. AT any time within the
last three weeks he could have
recaptured the state.hOuse, not perhaps
without collision with the Government
troops, which he was DESTROYS to avoid.
While acting slowly, as some thought
he kept on the side of the law and conf.
IDENTIFY appealed to the President, who
acted only after the Legislature called
on him for cid to suppress the insurrec
ton. Peace will now reign, and with I
good administration Of local and Stat
government, Arkansas may soon regal
much that she has lost aud hew out net
avenues of prosperity.

pamphlet published in the aforesaid publish
