A CHANGE.

Arkansas as Projected by the
Present Legislature.
Little Rock Gazette.l

Little Rock Gazette.l
LAST session a bill passed the house re.
districling the State for congressional
purposes. 1t went to the senate and
was passed by that body, with amend
ments placing Crawford county in the
third insteaI OF the fourth district;
Loncke in the first instead of the third,
and adding Madison to the fourth,
which was Inadvertently omitted.
These amendments are maize the
special order in the house for Monday
next, and we doubt not will be agreed
to. The congressional districts will then
be as follows:

Crittenden, Craighead, Cross, Deshs,
Greene, Independence, jackson, Lee,

hOun, Chicot, Columbia, Dorsey, Dallas,
Drew, Grant, HEM stead, Howard, JEFF
ferson, Lafayette, Lincoln, Little River,
Nevada, Miller, Ouachits, Union, Sc.
vier-twenty counties.
Third District - Clark, Crawford,

We publish elsewhere the several
financial measures introduced by Sen
etor Loughborough, chairman Of the
fDsnce committee Of the Arkansas SEN
ale, and Endorsed by the State board Of
fiosnce These, it will be seen, embody
and VIII enforce the recommendation Of
Governor Garland in his message to the
legi- lsture. The first act authorizes the
board TO borrow money and pledge the
bonds OF the State as security. The Sec
ond makes provision for liquidation of
the outstanding Indebtedness of the
State. The third raises the rate of taxa
ton to the amount indicated in the
message Of the governor. These are the
all.impoItsnt measures of the session,
and it is confidently believed will secure
the State the permanent relief needed.
We hope, with the Little Rock Gazette,
that members of the legislature will
view them in this light, and having
passed them, will hurry the session to a
close.

CHANDLER in the senate is one man.

CHANDLER in the sena'e is one man,
aud Chandler in the cabinet is another
1t appears from Washington dispatch
that the rev secretary Of the interior is
as yet undecided as to what recon-
incubation, if any, he will make in his
annual report with reference to the H.
dian bureau. He has not yet deter
mined to recommend the transfer Of the
bureau to the war department, as has
been stated. The secretary, while 70 the
senate, advocated the transfer of the
bureau to the war department; but now
that he is secre airy Of the interior, he
probably does not de1ire to put himself
ia an attitude Of hostility to the Indian
ring, one Of the most constituencies Of
all that Grants party has originated CT
kept alive.

THE Vicksburg Herald very proper
Iy, as we think, urges that the Demo-
cratic party organizations, especially
the executive committees in every
county, be preserved. These bodies
need not meet, unless necessary, for
weeks or months. The importance of
political organization can never be over
estimated. Petitions to the legislature,
or to the governor, suggesting remedies
for existing evils, come with mora ei.
feet, and with better grace. from those
representatives Of the people that have
some form Of organization. or course
the State executive committee will con-
tinue until succeeded by newly-elected
State COMMITTEES. Organization and vigi.
lance are the life and tate- guards Of
parties.
