 saam sesslsea AslthenIy- Wilsahs s@ufl der. on the floor of the. House there has asss sevsr Saa Seean a se more lore disg9racefu act in this: StatefS. than that which witnessed the Governor of Arkansas making an assault upon member of the last Legislature with pistol in his pocket, which he attempted to use, in public hotel in the city of Little Rock on holy Sabbath day In other States the policy has been to send this class of law breakers to the county jail, and we do not be- slieve that the people of Arkansas will so stultify and disgrace them selves by an act so unbecoming and unpardonable as to send one of that class to represent them in the Senate of the United States.
 Gov. Clarke has already brought disgrace upon and injured the fair name of his State, and now he seeks to add insult to injury by declaring himself it f representative of this people in one of the loftiest law making bodies in the world.
