The Arkansas Government Thor
OushIy Endorsed.

WAsHINGTON, February 6.-The select
Committee on Arkansas Affairs conclud-
cd their report, US follows: The new
constitution we regard as Republican in
form and in many respects an improve
ment on that of 1868. The committee
are satisfied that the convention to form
the constitution and the constitution
itself were voted for and are satisfactory
10 majority ofthe voters and the people
of the State. The State officers were
certainly elected by majority of the
votes cast, and We think by majority of
the votes in the State. The condition OF
the State has been peaceful since the new
government was inaugurated us it ever
has been. The mass of the people ON
both sides are inclined to peace and good
government, and to allow the enjoyment
Of their legal rights. But there Is Il class
of men, the outgrowth of the former state
of society, who delight in disturbing and
depriving colored people and Northern
people Of their rights. Those are Young
men who cannot be retained. This class
Of men, together with the general custom
of carrying deadly weapons, another leg
acy Of barbarism, are the real cause Of
violence and boodshed The changes
caused by war giving freedom
and political equality to colorcd
people are not well relished by the
Southern people, but most of them would
do nothing to disturb them, hut the class,
to which we alluded, feel that they were
made TO invade the rights of the colOred
men, especially in any political quarrel,
and that their oifcnScs will be winkcd at.
We are all satisfied that the time of
prosperity of the Southern States depends
more upon just and stern dealing by
them with this lawless class of men, than
any other cause. Arkansas, probably
presents no different condition from that
of other cotton States, where political con-
trol has passed into the hands Of the class
who ruled before the war. The people of
every State have right to make their
own Constitution to suit themselves, pro-
yided it be republican in form and i'll
harmony with the Constitution Of the
United States, and the National govern
ment has not the authority to deprive
them of that right. The election held
for the ratification of the constitution was
under the form of law, and the Officers
who conducted it acted under appoint
ment and under official acts and although
We regard all Us defective, however, be-
ing prescribed by the Convention in
stead Of the Legislature, still we believe
they are entitled to be regarded as differ
emily from mere voluntary meetings held
under pretence of legal authority. The
committee do not recommend any action
by Congress or by any department ofthe
general government in regard TO the State
government in Arkansas. This report is
signed by Poland, Schudder, Suyler and
GlnsS.

Debate OIL Steamship RiII.

Mr.. Chandler objected and moved to
take up House bill to revise, amend and
consolidate the laws relating to the Sc
curity of life on board of vessels, propell-
cd in whole or in part by steam and for
other purposes. Agreed to. Yeas %,
nays Ii.
The reading of the bill which was COM
menccd last session was concluded.
Mr.. Boutwell, opposed its passage and
was followed by Mr.. Conklng, who said
he well understood the nature and per-
slstancc of that lobby, which even now
was in this chamber to urge this bill. He
understood the force Of that lobby which
purchased a newspaper to pour out abuse
on Senator'S who opposed the bill. 1t
was not a great while ago that Il vessel
went down in Long Island Sound and
the newspaper to which he referred said
the loss Of so many lives, then was char
geable to him, (ConkIing) At the proper
time he would assert his
reason for voting against it, and would
like to have some Senator who favored
this bill mako statement Of the defects
VI tlc present lh"I anu sup" MH'l' INC
proposed changes would be beneficial.
Mr.. Morton said the men who were
favored by this bill were not paid lobby
lists, but men of character sent here from
Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh and
other places. 1t had not been prepared
by politicians, but by experts. The
changes proposed were important and
many of them vital.
Pending the discussion, Mr.. Cameron
moved that the Senate proceed to the
consideration of executive business.
The chair laid before the Senate num-
Der Of bills from the House. Among
them was the Civil Rights Bill, which
was read the first time.
Mr. DAVIS objected to its second read
ing, but at the request of Mr.. EdmundS,
he withdrew the objection, that the bill
might be read second time and refer
red to the Judiciary Committee, and 1t
WAS so referred.
The Senate then proceeded 10 the con-
sideration Of executive business, and soon
sitter adjourned.

President pro tenn of the Senate.

The election Of new Senator to sue
coed Senator Carpenter will nccessitate
the election of new President pro tenn
of the Senate for the 44th Congress.
Vice President Wilson being from the
East, it is claimed that the President
pro tenn properly belongs to the
West. Therefore the name Of
Senator Ferry, of Michigan has been
prominently named in that connection,
not only on sectional grounds but because
Of his qualification for the position.
