A Solitary Senate.

In 1866, previous TO the passage of the
reconstruction act, the legislature of Arkan-
sas assembled in what became known as the
rebel session. Expecting trouble, the "reb-
ell session adjourned in March, with view
Of meeting again the Is, Of May. In the
meantime. General Ord received Instructions
to prohibit the reassembling of the men
who. under the constitution Of the United
States. had no right to enact laws. Nearly
all of the members yielded to the military
mandanus, but a few neadstrong statesmen,
knowing that the country demanded their
services, convened upon the arrival of the
proper time. The state house was surround
ed by soldiers. but the determined legisla-
ture met in General Newton's law office.
John X. Fellows, now prominent lawyer
of New York, and assistant district attorney
Of that city, was the only senator present.
Entering the little room set apart for the
senate, Fellows took his place behind desk
