An Infamous Message.

The most Infamous proposition eyer
madesby a President of the y nited States
to congress was contained in Mr., Grants
special message to the senate on Arkansas
affairs, which was read yesterday. Mr..
Grant wants congress relieve him of any
responsibility regarding affairs in that
states and to recognize the Brooks faction
as being J rich htfully In eontrol.of the state
government If this was question upon
which wohonest Eep could differ, such o
recon- nj endation might ind palllation.
| But unfortunately for, Mr.. Grants reputa-
ton, it Is, a question that has but one side.
The means by which the people of Arkan-
sas reformed their constitution and placed
men of integrity, who were in harmony
with the public, in, official position, while
they may not have been wholly constitu-
tional, were certainly warranted by pre-
cedent and sustained by = law These
means were Het revolutionary, although
even revolution is sustained by the best
legal authorities in cases of extreme emer-
gency... The people through their repre-
seHtatives exercised an undoubted right in
reforming their constitution, and in elect
ing officers to administer the laws under
Ethat constitution afterit had been duly
| and legally ratified There has been NO
violence in the state since the present
state of affairs was inaugurated, q fact
| that shows most conclusively that the ex-
isting government is the choice of the peo.
pie and is being administered to their en-
tire satisfaction. 3i -. s--f-.I -
MI. Grants presumption that any res
possibility in Arkansas affairs rest upon
him is simply absurd He is no more
responsible for the condition of affairs in
Arkansas Than he IS for~the condition eI
affairs in Illinois or Wisconsin. Only
lwhen state of insurrection exists is the
president empowered to interfere in the
affairs of a state, and then only on request
of the governor or legislature of the com
monweaIth. In such case oily does any
resi- possibility rest upon the President, ,anC
his assumption of responsibility, under the
circumstances. is piece of rare imperti
nence that should be promptly rebuked b.
congress. For these reasons the Time
asserts that Mr. Grants proposition i
nothing short of infamous. CAicag
