The effort OF smith s. CO. to excite
revolution Ia Arkansas has utterly
failed. The Washington authorities
viii not countenance 1t. They win not
give comfort OF aid 10 the peripstetic
Smith. So he goes to grass, as the pugi-
lists would say, for the third time. This
is the end OF him. II with the YOnley
pamphlet and the peTjursd statements
and bogus teiegrams Of Smith, Dorsey,
Mcclure and Clayton before them the
members OF the cabinet are satisfied
they have no case for the thieves before
them, and therefore cannot intefere In
the controversy In Arkansas, we think
their plans have come to naught. Presi-
dent Grant aRd his advisers know the
people of Arkansas have settled ali their
difficulties by the adoption Of the new
constitution and the election # Gov
ernor Garland, and they DO not desire,
nor win they dare, in face of the recent
political revolution, to interfere for
Smith, and so violate the peace OF a
State which, under Democratic govern
ment, bids fair to advance with giant
strides on the road to prosperity and
happiness. The governor, who grows
stronger in the affections OF his people
every day, still reports peace, and that
eveTybody-black as well as whites
eontented and happy in presence Of the
Frightening prospect of the State.

times by various member of the com Z
mittee, has not yet been examined by /

SMITH, CLAYTON d co. COMPLETELY
SNUBBED.
Cabinet session to-day continued near
" three hours, all the member except
Postmaster General Jewell being pres
emit. Arkansas matters we're the subject
Of comment. Attorney General Viii
li8ms submitted the telegrams from Sem
atOr CLAYTON and several State officers
in Arkansas, urging the recognition of
the Smith party by the Federal govern
ment; but the general opinion Of the
cabinet was, that since their last meet
ing nothing has occurred to alter the
decision made at that time, namely, that
the government has not in its possession
such information as would justify any
with the controversy Ia
that state.
ALL QUIET AT 'fTHE ROCK" I
