mi. me 20 express my congratula-
lee. ,sar. unlike The legislative assemblyor
our sister state. you have been allowed to
ASSEMBLE. peacefully and perfect your organ
izstjnn without Intimidation. No military
force surrounds your capitol, or drives from
their rightiui seats representatives of the
people. The cdct Of petty tyrant does not
brr,. avail to d'SperSc q State Legislature. yet
your Immunity from such outrage is just
now made more conspicuous by the spectacle
OF Louisiana trampcd under foot and de-
SPOILED ot her liberties.
III We may credit reports that reach us
through the daily press, and which seem 10
have The sanction of official authority, the
power Of The national Government, through
il, military arm. is being used for the SUBJ
version Of the liberties OF the people OF Lou
i,lua. Possibly 1t is not in your power to
do more than interpoSe solemn and earnest
protr>! against this glaring crime. Yet if
this Je all that the representatives of so val.
Crou> STATE As Tennessee may do, [ trust
that your protest may be made with such
emphasis and earuestneSs as to arrest the at
tcuilou Of every patriotic citizen in this Re-
public, and awaken the people everywhere
10 sense Of the danger that threatens our
constitutional liberties"
A Voice from Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Jiuuary T. In the House to-.
day the following resolution was introduced
and referred 10 Il special committee:
ReSOlued, That we do earnestly protest, in
the name of the sovereign people of the
State Of Arkansas, against this unauthorized
military interference in the local affairs of o
State duly acknowledged TO be and compos-
ing part Of this American Union. and We here
now appeal TO the candid judgment of
the people OF these United States TO know
whether or not southern States are mere
provinces, or independent States, within
and composing part Of this Union, with a
constitutional right to govern in their own
local affairs.
The following is published here to-day:
40 the People Of the United States e:
Having seen dispatch of General Sheridan
to the Secretary OF War, in which be speaks
Vi terrorism as existing in the State Of Ar
kansas, we feel il TO he our duty, in behalf
Of the religious community with which we
are connected, To-Day 10 the world ct large
that there is no such thing as terrorism eX-
listing in this State, and no repression of
public opinion or private action except that
imposed by the ordinary code Of laws, and
that since the last Of May of the past year
the country has been profoundly quiet.
There have been no prosecutions, political
or otherwise, and, as far Us we have been
able 10 learn. no Waite LeaguerS or any
other similar associations.
"As General Sheridan has not been in Ar
kansas, and could only have formed an
opinion by hearsay, this fact may account
for an opinion Of the existence OF imaginary
evils, for which be proposes remedy which
Of Itself would eXtinguish all law and pro-
cure condition Of affairs which would be
terrorism indeed"
