ARKANSAS.
A Message from Grant in Relation TO
Affairs in that State,
In which He Virtually Recommends
the Overthrow of the State
Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The follow
ing is the Presidents message on Ar
kansas affairs:
Herewith | have the honor to send,
in accordance with resolution of the
Senate of the Sd inst, all the informa-
ton in my possession, not heretofore
furnished, relating TO affairs in the
State of Arkansas. | will venture to
express the opinion that all the testi-
mony shows that in the election of
1872 Joseph Brooks was lawfully elect
ed Governor of that State; that he has
been unlawfully deprived of the pos
session of his Office since that time;
that in 1874 the Constitution Of the
State was by violence, intimidation and
revolutionary proceeding overthrnwn,
and new Constitution adopted, and q
new State government established.
These proceedings, if permitted to
stand, practically ignore all the rights
of minorities in all the States Also,
what is there to prevent each of the
States, recently re-admitted to Federal
relations on certain conditions, from
changing their constitutions and VIC
lating their piedE4s. # the action
in Arkansas is acquiesoed in, | re-
specially submit whether prece-
dent so dangerous to the stability of
State Government, if not of National
Government, should be recognized by
Congress. | earnestly ask that Con
gress will take definite action in this
matter, to relieve the Executive from
acting upon questions which should be
decided by the legislative branch of
the Government.

SENATOR Conkling says that Sheri-
dan opened the campaign of 1876, by
his acts in New Orleans. Ii so, the
Radical programme is bayonets, not
ballots. Though Conklin may have
a premature disclosure, in words, yet
all the acts of Grant aud the policy of
Congress more than confirm the de-
cIaration that the South at last, is to
be forced to vote for Grant IL is to
be hoped however, that the manifesto
ton of innate love of liberty, on the
part of so many in the North, last
November. so far from weakening, as
the danger increases, will gather vigor
of spirit and strength of numbers suf-
fcient TO overawe the traitors and teach
them the uselessness of their efforts
70 enslave peofie once free, though
forgetful, for time, Of the Importance
of vigilance to its preservation. We
hone too. that so far as the South is
concerned, the programme will utter
Is fail. 1t relies upon race conflict to
rekindIe the animosities of the war
and TO furnish a pretext for armed
intervention, in our elections, whereby
none but negroes, earpet-baggers and
scailawags shall be allowed to vote.
Let every southern State adopt the
noble forbearanee of Louisi.na-re
membering that present suffering, pa
tieutly borne, will be followed by deliv
GRANGE in the early future, whilst re-
sistance. by force, can only be followed
byincreased oppression and multiplied
insults.

THE public debt increased one
million in the month of January. That
is moderate considering how lightly the
people are taxed to pay off so much
debt The truth is however, that the
public debt is not known to the public
and willnotb be until an honest admins
tration investigates the subject
As a movement is in contemplation
by the Radical majority in the House,
to revise the iron-cIad oath, in order
to exclude some fifty Democratic mem
bers elect, to the next Congress, it may
be pertinent to enquire whether said
members can be prejudiced in their
rights by disability which did note exist
at the time of their. election. E1post
fdcto, in letter and spirit, it can have
no legitimate bearing upon the rights
of those who are intended victims of
a malignant party seeking to revenge
itself upon the instruments of that
party's defeat. That law can be re-
enacted because the Senate will ap-
prove, Grant sign it, but the next
House, the sole judge in the case, will,
or ought to, treat it with merited con-
tempt

CIVIL RIGHTS.

The Civil Rights Bill, stripped Of.
its mixed school feature, has passed
the lower House, and, in the Senate,
has been referred to the judiciary COM
mittee. It may, or may not become a
law, but there is still enough in its in
sulting provisions to do world of
mischief, provided the southern peO-
pie fall into the trap laid for them by
the fendish leaders of the Radical
party. Dropping the school feature,
is no concession to the South, but a
trick to cheat our citizens into the pay
ment Of taxes to educate the negro,
whilst the provisions retained in the
bill, are offensive enough to be relied
upon for the amount of disturbance
necessary, as pretext, for proclaiming
martial law and sending troops to con-
troll the ballot-box. 1t behooves the
legislature to watch the bill closely,
and prepare for such action as may be
rendered expedient by its passage. 1t
is declaration that the whites of the
South have no rights which the negro
is bound to respect, and it is ques-
ton, for grave consideration, how far
it is expedient for southern legisla-
lures to enact laws for the benefit ola
class, for which the federal Congress
legislates exclusive of the interests of
that larger class by, and for whom the
government was expressly created.
We are giving the negroes the benefit
of the school fund, and for them have
ignored that wise provision In the con-
stitution, requiring the prepayment of
poll-tax, as a condition precedent to
the exercise of the right Of suffrage.
We give them employment and sup
port, at the time they are banded to-
gether, to aid the Radicals in their eff
forts to destroy the rights of white
men and the prosperity of the entire
South. Since Congress has erected
the negro, into distinct citizenship
in our midst, with the extent to make
him the superior, and governing class,
it is time we were casting about for the
means by which he shall be made to
pay something for the extra privileges
conferred upon him. We are not pre-
pared to say that the school law shall
be repealed, so long as mixed schools
are not insisted upon, but we do con-
tend that the poll-tax shall be paid by
the colored gentry, or they shall stand
back from the polls. The whites who
can't pay that trifing tax don't deserve
vote, and the negro who can't pay it,
must draw upon his Radical masters,
or lose his vote. We do not see why
he should vote and repeat, to the seri-
Gus detriment of southern interests,
without contributing cent to the sup
port of the government which protects
him, whilst he is laboring to make it
n Radical curse.
