Grants Arkansas Message.

The message of Mr.. Grant abou! Ar
kansas is one Of the most amazing and
ridiculous things he has done yet. In
the case of Louisiana he had a pretext,
- limsy pretext To he sure, in the IN
action Of congress, In the case OF Ar
kansas he had nW pretcxt at all. Let
anybody read the message itself. and
his natural conclusion must be, either
that the man who wrote It was drunk.
or that the man was crazy. The i'm.
mediate ellcc, Of it will be, if the dis
cussion in congress allows it to have
any effect at all, to renew the turmoil
in Arkansas, which has once been
thoroughly, and we all hoped finally
aIlayed. The final effect OF it, so far AS
its author is concerned, must he to
dive another nail in his coffin New
York World.
The closing sentence Of this extra,
ordinary document conveys a clear in
timation, or threat, that if congress
should follow the advice of the com
mittee sent to investigate the cendi-
ton OF things in Arkansas, and let the
State alone, the President will inter
fere on his own authority to upse! the
State government, depose Garland and
install Brooks as Governor. This is
the boldcst menace, and its fulfill
ment would be the most daring act
ever ventared upon even by Gen. Grant.
BY declaring his belief that Brooks is
the Legitimate Governor, he has invited
him to make an application for FEEDER
al assistance in putting down opposi-
ton to his authority and it is plain
from his amazing message tnSt the
President intends to comply with such
a request when it is made, unless con
grcss ties up his hanIs We warn him
that this will stir up q greater com
