National Debt.

The Democrats are continually missta-
ting the financial condition Of the govern
notwithstanding that the debt is growing
larger year by year, and that the nation is
on the verge Of bankruptcy. The falsi:y
of the statement is the nearest approach
to candid truth, that the average demo.
cratic politician is capable Of making, and
is its chief virtue. The national debt in
1860, was &e4,8422s7, 80 At the close Of
the war, it was s0,647, 86o,74, and it
increased during the year to q, 778, 1885,

month was $2,280. 461 ,374, IS showing :

has collated the kind expressions of the

There is no popular feeling of cnthusi-

the democrats, but they have committed

they must nominate him, and that will

Herewith ! haye the honor TO send, in
accordance with heresolution of the Senate
Of the Sd inst, all the information in my
possession. not heretofore furnished. relat-
ing 10 affairs in the State of Arkansas.
will venture TO express the opinion that all
the testimony shows that in the election Of
1872 Joseph Brooks was lawfully elected
Governor of the State that he has been un-
lawfully deprived of the possession of his
office since that time that in 1874 the con-
stitution Of the State was. by violence. in
timidation and revolutionary proceedings,
overthrown. and Q new constitution adopt
ed and new State government established.
These proceedings, if permitted to stand.
practically ignore all rights of minorities in
all the States. Also, what is there to pre-
vent each of the States recently re-sdmitted
to federal relations. on certain conditions,
from changing their constitutions and
violating their pledges? If this ac-
tion in Arkansas is acquiesced in, respect
fully submit whether precedent so danger
GUS to the stability OF state government, if
not of the national government, also should
be recognized by congress. l earnestly ask
that congress will take definite action in
this matter, to release the executive from
acting upon questions which should be de-
cided by the Legislative branch Of the gov
ernment.

Executive Mansion, Feb. 8, 1875.
After the adjournment Of the Senate the
Republican senator's held caucus to con-
slider the message. of the proceedings of
tho caucus Washington despatch says
there was not harmonious action, some SEN
ators being reluctant to commit themselves
before they had time to re-examine the doc
uments not yet printed. The Arkansas
senator's were anxious for as prompt action
as the state of public business would permit
and desired that the matter be sent to the
committee on privileges and election for
early report. The matter will take that
direction. The opinion has obtained
among Republican members Of the House
that apart from whatever the Senate may
do the House will support the report of the
select committee and take no action in the
premises. in accordance with its recommen-
dation.
