The Arkansas trouble Ended.

The disgraceful muddle kicked up
by the Radical carpet-baggers in Ar
kansas, is at last ended. The Legisla-
ture having recognized Baxter as the
lawful Governor of the State, the
President, on the 18th insr., issue d his
proclamation directing all turbulent
and disorderly persons TO disperse
and retire peacably to their respective
abodes within ten days, and hereafter
submit themselves to law and author
ity, to said Executive and the other
constitutional authorities of said State.
The Federal Government will there
fore maintain the authority of Baxter
and promptly prevent all further in
termeddling on the part of Brooks
and his adherents. This result, it
said, crushes out the last hope of Mr..
Clayton for a reelection to the Senate
and will probably lead to the defeat
of Messrs. Ayers, Hodges and Snyder,
members of the House of Representa-
tives and supporters of Brooks, at the
uext congressional election,

tary of State at the coming election,

re have so discharged our duty as to
receive such generous commentator
touches us nearly, and we feel CRATE
full in the extreme; but we have no
longing to be Secretary of State. We
would much rather serve out our time
in the House, and as Chairman of the
Finance Committee, see whether the
Committee and ourself cannot further
deserve the gratitude of the tax-pay-
ers of the State. In that capacity, it
occurs to us, we can do the Sfate and
the party more service than we could
as Secretary of State, and if we are
allowed our choice in the matter we
wonld not be a candidate for Secretary
of State"

The nomination of Hon. William
w. Eaton by the Democrats of the
Connecticut Legislature as United
States Senator from that State has
thrown the Radical leaders into spas
ans. They don't seem to question
either his ability or his honesty, but
they don't like his war record. They
seem TO forget that the war of the re-
bellion is ended and that the fight is
now against the corruptionists who
have been pIuAdering the government
and the people ever since the great
struggle was ended, and in the choice
they have made the people of Con-
necticat win have fearless champion

Tnr work Of the Conati.ntional Com.

THE work of the Constitutional Com
vention is at last concluded, and we
print this morning the result of the
labor of year. minus short inter
regnum, and of an expenditure of
100000. 1t is useless to attempt to
disgnise the fact that the instrument
is unsatisfactory to several and consid-
cradle classes of men in Ohio, and its
fate before the people we can not but
regard as doubtful. That it has many
points of excellence, and is in some
important features an improvement
upon the Constitution of 1851, its
most relentless enemies will not deny.
Whether it has more of good or evil
is the question before the people. 1t
will be born in mind that the people
are not called upon to choose between
this Constitution and anarchy or no
Constitution, but between this Con-
stitution and the one almost as good,
equally good, or better, as opinions
vary. The intelligent friends of the
Constitution may justly urge that it
gives us the veto power that it length
ems the terms of Judges and provides
for the payment to them of salary
that is respectable, il not commensur-
ate with the abilities needed upon the
Bench that it forbids double taxa
ton, and that it allows the people TO
insert license clause, clause apply
ing the principle of minority repre-
sentation to the election of Judges,
and delegates to the same deciding
power, the question of allowing rail-
road aid under restrictions. But each
one of these features has provoked in
the Convention and will arouse among
the people more or less formidable
hostility. The opponents of the Con-
stitution will properly place foremost
among its obnoxious features the
clause fastening the cuIminative vote
upon two counties of eighty-eight in
the State, the result of which will be,
in anything like a close election, the
taking of the law-making and Senator
making power from the hands of the
dominant party to give it to the party
in a minority. It will change the poll
itics of iour or five members, making
a difference of eight or ten votes in
the Legislature. This, in the name of
"reform." OF course provision so
palpably unfair will cause several ex-
celleneies in the Constitution to kick
the beam when weig he'd in the bal
ances. While the product of so much
labor should not be hastily condemn
ed, it should be considered on its mer-
its regardless of its cost. We shall
endeavor from time to time so to dis
cuss it.-EnQuireT.

SENATOR MORTON has written let
ter to correct what he says is an er-
roneous conception on the part of the
public and the press of the tendency
ofthe bill recentlyVetoed by the Presi-
dent. He defends the measure at
great 'lenght, and claims that, instead
of being designed to initiate the cur
rency and postpone return to specie
payments, it would have the contrary
tendency. From Mr.. Morton's letter,
one of two things is evident: Either a
majority of the people and conductors
OF the public press are fools, or Nor
ton is rank dsmagogue. We pre-
fer to believe the latter.
