MalloMell Z0raI Mems.

Recent events, not only in the southern sec
ton of our country but especially in Congress,
demonstrate most conclu.ively that the warnings
of some of the truest patriots of the land-that
another struggle was impending on the same old
issues of 1860 and 81, with slight modification in
circumstance but not in fact-was timely and
prophetic. The disgrsceful scenes during the
discussion Of the civil rights bill in the National
House of Representatives, remind US of DAYS of
old, when the bludgeon, bowicknlte and pistol
were substituted for arguments by the champions
of oppression, and when blackguardism and in
timidation were resorted to whenever northern
man with national views in accordance with the
Declaration of Independence, attempted to assert
his manhood or defend the principles of humanity
justice and an enlightened christian civilization.
The country is again awakening to a sense OF
danger; and the stern logic of events cannot fail
to unite all loyal hearts Throughout the entire
country in harmonious action on the vital ques-
tons once more forced upon us by an migrate fac
ton whose bitter determination to ruc or rum
threaten again the peace and prosperity Of the
nation. There is no middle ground safely or con.
sistently to be occupied when fundamental
principles of contending parties are so
sharply defined as at the present time. We trust
that these congressional warnings OF another nm
pending crisis" may be needed by representative
men in all sections Of the country IN season 10
forestall or counterac the evident designs OF those
men who are now abusing the leniency of our
government in allowing them to hold positions in
Congress after wilfuy and persistently forfeit
ing by acts Of treason and rebellion, all right to
participation in shaping the legislation OF the coun
try. 1t would seem that an ordinary sense OF
gratitude would prove sufficient to lead these dis
turbers of our national peace to speedy and hearty
repentance.
We are informed that the benevolent Society"
of this city will meet at the residence Of Rev Mr.
Harding, on Thursday afternoon next. full at

The Presidents Message on Ark
ansas Affairs.

Washington, February The following is the
Presidents message on Arkansas affairs -
To the Senate of the United States
Herewith l have the honor to send in accord
ance with the resolution of the Senate of the 81
inst all the information in my possession nothere.
tofore furnished, relating to affairs in the State Of
Arkansas -
81 will venture to express the opinion that all
the testimony shows that in the election of 1872
Joseph Brooks was lawfully elected the Governor
of the State; that he has been unlawfully deprived
of the possession of his office since that time !;
that in 1874 the constitution of that State was by
violence intimidation and revolutionary proceed
ings overthrow, and new constitution adopted,
and new State government established.
These proceedingsif permitted to stand, practi-
cally ignore all rights of mnorities in all the
States Also, what is there to prevent each of the
States recently re-admtted to federal relations
certain conditions, from changing their constitu-
tons and violating their pledges If this action
in Arkansas is acquiesced in, respectfully sub
nit whether precedent so dangerous the stability
of State government, if not of the national
government also, should be recognized by Con-
gress. l earnestly ask that Congress will take
definite action in this matter to release the execu-
tive from acting on questions which should be de-
cided by the legislative branch of the govern
ment.'

Progress of the Strike.

Fall River, February 8. The Merchants Mill
continued operations throughout the day, although
very small number Of operatives entered the
mill. The mill officials claim that there were
about twenty weavers at work, but the operatives
say there not more than ten, AT noon there
were about one thousand operatives congregated
in the vicinity of the mill, and one or two of the
hands who came out were received with jeers and
hootings but no bodily violence was offered To-
night about two thousand men, women and child
rem gathered together and the yells and shouts
from the whole crowd deafening, and few
blows were administered. Two highly respecta-
BILE laborng women were arrested but have since
been released on bail. The marshall to night
states that 100 arrests might have been justly
made, but the authorities reluctant to have re-
source to any such measures, but if necessary out
side aid will be called in and any disposition to
riot will be put down vigorously and promptly.
AT largely attended meeting Of the Viewers
Union, the conduct of those who took part in the
irregular proceedings, was regretted, and it was
resolved to intimate through the press their entire
disapp:obaton of the whole affair.
Marine Disaster.
Boston, February s. The British schooner
Bavo of and from Bermuda for Boston, went
ashore on Chatham Beach, Cape Cod, on the night
OF the 9TH inst. Crew saved. The vessel will
probably have to discharge before getting off.
The schooner Henry A. PAUL of Taunton, still
remain ashore near Race Point Cape Cod The
weather has been too rough to permit any attempt
to get her a1oat.
Schooners Ashore.
Gloucester, February s. Schooner Edward
Glover, Wheeler, for this port arrived to-day from
trip to the Grand Banks. She brings in 5000
lbs. of halibut the largest for the season. She
lost two anchors and reports rough and extreme
cold weather the last four weeks. The last two
cold nights she was blockaded in the harbor.
About fifty Oranges men and D,nkers ready to
sail, were frozen in, also several shore fishermen.
Lowell, February 8. About 4 o'clock this after
noon, as eight horses were speeding on the eoui Sc
lately made on the ice Of the Merrimac river,
two valuable animals colided and were killed.
The drivers were not seriously injured. III. c.
Drew thus lost 4 trottcr which he valued at 5000,
and Henry A. Brown horse valued at six or
seven hundred dollars.
Beaten TO Death.

LOUISIANA.
The Louisiana Affairs.

New York, February s. The Times New Or
leans special says the present move for compro-
mise, successful or unsuccessful, will occasion a
serious split in the democratic party of the State
majority of the people are in favor of the CON-
promise, but they are SO well under the control
Of the AcEnery faction that they are actually
afraid Of expressing their sentiments. A we'll
known shop-keeper says, most Of the business
men here are in favor Of the adjustment, but are
not willing to give public expression to the mat
ter. Were they to do so and the compromise be
defeated, their business would be ruined. Many
prominent democrats of New Orleans, whose
names were used in connection with the mass
meeting called to denounce the action of the mem.
beers of the House, declare that they are in favor
of a compromise and that their names were used
without authority. Major Burke, who tried to
horsewhip Kellogg some time since, is among the
number.
New Orleans, February S. Southwest pass
ship Princeton, cotton laden, which was set or
fire by lightning about two weeks ago, is again
on fire in the hold, and is again being towed VI
to the city.
