National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-11-21

THE vERACIOUs Associated Press agent
at Little Rock, Ark, has informed the
public that the sham Legislature Of that
State is about TO investigate the manner in
which Senator Dorsey's election was
effected 1t is to be hoped that this init
nation will be confirmed, and that. unlike
other tales from the same source, there is
at least grain of truth in this one. When
Mr.. Dorsey was elected to be United
States Senator he received all the votes of
the Democrats in the Legislature, and, in
fact, was the unanimous choice Of that
body. Since then he has taken such
prominent part in the exciting contests
which have occurred regarding the validity
of the opposing governments of the State
as to incur the disfavor and outright enmity
Of the White League rebel mob which now
presumcs 10 characterize itself as the Legs
lature. The investigation now threatened
by this nOndcscript body, if it is carried
out, will, no doubt, result in report which
will crafty the malicious desires of his
enemies, and be designed TO destroy, ifpOs-
Sible, his influence here and elsewhere as
the friend of good government. 1t is only
necessary TO add, in this connection, that
The investigatorsare men who were chosen
10y the illegal votes of one party alone, in
contest in which the Republicans of the
State took no part whatever. They are,
therefore. an er parte body, and whatever
their conclusions may be, the evident de-
sign of the conspiracy against him will
serve to destroy their intended effect. Like
any other true Southern Republican, he ex-
poets no mercy and will ask for none at the
hands of his prosecutors. If he remains
true to himself, as we do not doubt he will.
he will refuse to recognize even in the most
indirect manner this latest movement of the
rebel gang, and firmly decline to respond
TO their offers to allow him to defend him
selfagainst their malicious charges. They
do not deserve the slightest notice, and
their proceedings should be met with silent
contempt.

Many Of the appeals from the decisions Of
the collector now on file in the Department
are so badly framed, and so utterly point
less, as TO show that their composers could
have had no proper conception of the
meaning and force Of the acts upon which
they profess to be founded. But having
filed almost innmerable appeals, these
brokers, clerks and attorneys make great
noise and clamor through the columns Of
respectable Journals, as if somebody or in

The men who are responsible for the cod
ifcatiOn or revision of our tariff laws are
fully capable of defending their work if it
requires defence. Senator Conkling and
Representatives Poland and Butlerare quite

they are the very last men in Congress to
''take water" upon any of their official
acts. We predict that their action, in the
revision of the laws at least will receive
the approval even of Democratic House.
