HE REVIEWS TIE CASE.

Ii is due to..tbe people of the State that
the circumstances which have rendered
necessary this course of action, be pubs
lished. At the election of 1872 | w,s
returned Governor of Arkansas. At a
late stage Of the session of the Legislature,
chosen at the same time, my opponent,
Joseph Brooks, Esq, sought his sole legi,
innate and constitutional method of re.
dress, had he been injured IN the
decision of the election, by an appeal to
the representatives, of the people. The
appeal was summarily rejected. Appli,
cation was then made to the highest judi,
cial authority of the State, the Supreme
Court, for right to the Governor In
that case, as in the suit instituted for the
Office Of Auditor of the State, the highest
tribunal of Arkansas decided that, under
the supreme organic law of the State, the
determination Of questions of the election
OF State officers is exclusively vested in
the Legislature. Public excitement was
allay the State settled itself to quiet
under an admiration which | trust has
not been unfaithful.
Meantime proceeding had been insti,
tuted before Circuit Court of county
for possession of the Office of Governor
| do not care at present to comment upon
the question of the authority of such a
court to adjudicate matter, from the de-
eision of which the Supreme Court Of the
State had not merely shrnnk, but decid
edlg denied its own jurisdiction. The
Pulaski Circuit Court did clandestiuely
assume to open demurer fled in court
but not submitted to the court, to an &C.
tion 10 render judgment of oastcr agains
the officer who for fifteen months had ex
ercised the functions of Chief Magistrate
of the State. The jugdment was render
ed upon the call of contestants attorney
in violation of the express agreement o
counsel that the case should be taken in
the absence of the representatives Of eith'
sr, and was rendered therefore, in point
Of facts without the knowledge or even
suspicion Of the Governor or his counsel.
In pursuance Of plot matured in an
ticipation Of the decision Of the Circuit
Court the conspiiators, forgetting, in thei
haste, that no writ Of custer had ever beer
issued, betook themselves to the roou
where the Chief Justice Of the State, tn
sole disseuter from the decision Of thu
Supreme Court in the matter. awaite'
them BY previous appointment. and then
armed With the Chief Justices attesta
tion to the Brooks oath Of Office, proceed

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate, on the 9th, Mr.. Morton
made lengthy speech in favor of the regula-
ton of railroad travel and freights by Con-
gress. The supplementary civil rights bill

bate was resumed. Mr. Bayard and Mr. Mer-
rll both spoke in favor of specie payments
and against the policy Of the Treasury De-

currency at the earliest practicable day on a
gold basis. He held that the action of Sec
retary Richardson in reissuing the reserves
was an actual violation of law, and criticised
severely the action of Mr. Boutwell, when
Secretary of the Treasury, in paying at high
rates Of premium, so much Of the public
debt before it was due. In referring to Mr.
Boutwell's assertion that we must have either
dishonor or increased taxation, he said thai
