NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Governors Resolution Defeated.

At meeting of the state penl- tentiary board, held on the 9th, Gov. Davis offered a resolution to annul the contract, entered into by form sr board with the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Company leasing a certain number of convicts for a term of ten years Gov. Davis stat ed that the warden in charge had made oath that the conyicts were being worked ten to fourteen hours per day, and that an attempt had been made to bribe the warden to work the men even longer hours. In addressing the board in support of his resolution Gov. Davis said:
 That contract Is vicious and un- conscionable as against the state. 1t Is said that the legislature refused to repudiate it. That is only true as to the senate. The house repu- diated this contract by an over whelming majority. The contract is illegal because 1t Is made for term of ten years be- yond the life of the board mak- ing 1t, and no well-informed lawyer would for a minute contend that the present board has not the power to annul it. It is said by the friends to the contract that to annul 1t would be repudiation. l say the state has the right to refuse to per form any contract which IS vicious and unconscionable and against the best interests of our people. The lessees under this contract would have the right to test the acton of the board in annulling 1t in the courts of the country. The only question is as to who shall take the state or the lessees.
 Attorney General Murphy took the stand that the board should not set the precedent of annulling its con- tracts, stating that the proper course to pursue would be to test the right in the courts of board to make leases for longer time than Its ten ure of office. Col. Murphy declared the company referred to paid the same price for the convlcts as others to whom they have been leased by the present board. Gov. Davis res olution was defeated. The vote stood: For-Gov. Davis and Sec retary of State Croekett-2. Against Attorney General Murphy, Com missioner Hill and Auditor Monroe.
