action he will declare the recent Constitu-
tional Convention and election irregular and
proceed to place the Brooks party in power.

probable that Congress will coincide with the
report Of the special committee that the irreo-
ularities and illegaiities are healed by the act
of the people in adopting the new Constitu-
ton. Hartford Conunt (Rp., Congressman
Hdrley)
We do not believe that after the report OF
the House Committee adverse to interference.
and the very general concurrence in it by the
Republican press, there is any chance Of ac-
ton undoing the present Arkansas Constitu-
ton and government. The whole matter
ought to be quietly dropped PHILADELPHIA |

serve Grant and their country. They cannot |
onger serve Grant and their party-Sprinq-
