L Tlie President's Arkansas Message, as 15 The President's late message *oti li( Arkansas affairs seems to have ex- t] cited no small measure of iudigtia-)^ tion, both among ItepuMik*an? and ^ Democrats; whilst the leading!.., journals of both parties make it the|tj subject-of -severe strictures andjp point out fthe abyss of tyrannical! usurpation which its suggestions so (J clearly foreshadow. ji The Tribune shows thegtaririgin-V consistency between the President's jx proclamation m May, 187-L deelar- : iutr Baxter dulv elocted and sti<j-' matising all those who should hold I] that Brooks was elected as "turbu-jj lent and disorderly persons," and L the present message of1S7G, which j declares that Brooks was elected, js and thus brings the President with-'c in the terms of his own proelama- ' tion. The Herald declares that a s more remarkable instance of self-11 stultification is not to be found in j the r ecords of any government. Even the New York Tiniest coun- r sels Congress to adopt the Poland! t Report, recognizing the existing} government, and to refer the Pres-lj ident to that document for the t guidance which he seeks. The j Up if t-onnjk! l\nnn cnniP.L J IC5IUIWI U?l?, lb CWiii^ uv(..v j what startled by tlic storm of appre- t hension anil indignation ?which he 1 has excited, and has awakened at ^ last to the fact that he lias commit- ^ ted something "worse than a crime, jr a blunder/' lie has hence taken' occasion to disavow the extreme I positions which were attributed toM him, and to declare that it was not |f his intention in any event to over-jj throw the existing .State govern-! 1 ment of Arkansas. The Washing-J ?i ton correspondent of the Xew York ;c JI( raid writes as follows: JI The alarm and indignation ex-jt cited here among Republicans its . well as Democrats by the, Arkansas]' message of Hfc^Exfceilency be,in bear fruit. Thw is gotvl an. tliis > v. , ing.c stu11 the l'iv;,ident snid tQ-(Ja\\.posith'.^ly|, that he did'not mean to'&e^Hnder-! i MUUU nlK'iiuuii; *,Jl^ Arkansas unless C;;.?fcss should 1 direct liim; and that, it" Congress! chooses to give him no policy or | directions, l.e will not interfere in-j tertere in any way in the State.j. This statement dees .not rest on ru-| t nior, but ou the word of a pronii-j j nent Northern Republican, not a!t member lof Congress, and whom J j His Excellency said this to. The!, Star also this evening has a potui-j; olfieial statement to the same effect, j j It says: "It -Congress adjourns; without deciding tue questions at;, issue it is more than Jikely that the! President will believe that Congress] acquiesces in the present political; status of Arkansas and leaves Gov-j eruor (Jar-land U\ manage the affairs I of that State. 41 * * *| This denial of revolutionary pur-j pose* comes none too soon, audit' was said to-night, in Republican; circles,, that .if the ['resident were j .veil advised he would send in an-| other we^age explain the first,1 or at least take some decided.means to rvassur* -the public jflhd (Congress; for there has. been/ during + loof h??/\ a nV/ 1.1 J V of deep uneasiness and alarm on all sides. The President was under-! stood bv everybody to inean that he intended to interfere, whether; ( ouirreis gave him directions or not,, and "tjie io^'ie of that policy j iV eai<2 a promineut ttepublic^n j to-day,ithat tlvough he may wait for laws to i>e enacted, if none are, exacted, Ve uiM act without law." i Tltfs H'ii* the universal I impression! au<jt and, tor perhaps the first time in onr history, Congress Jeltk nuttorky slipping out ot its hawni?J and bejran to think ho^iHTFreS^ijl -could be curbed who, men if* persuaded, had declared his ititl [J, tion to act whether the law-mak jr power ^ave him authority or mn. \Vhat added to the irritation and alarm was that it became known to-day that the Arkansas quest ffijij i was not only not RubmittetfLto Cabinet meeting, but ivas . not) even shown to any member ojFtbc! Cabinet. Even Attorney-Gefteral i "Williams was not taken'into' fiouiuj ggj * *' * :.m * * It is not impossible * thaf thej whole Southern jiiest\ou?.may .come tip for discussion in ttotff'ikjiifch' by' wav ol' the Arkansas' report, ami it :s possible that an attempt may be made to secure non-terference with the established government, lor there are a good many Re..iiKlii-.-jii int*nihors- jiiuI tlsfir tintn , ? ber is increasing, who will not now I>e content with a mere private declaration from the President that lie does not mean to net without warrant o\law. ?"We must recognize the Arkansas government in the*elearest manner," said one of these men to-day, <-else we shall have evolution igf,;$?>&? a.s Congress 'K0ouniP." "Tro* which tue. President puts m his message that no re conslMWed Mti'.o-Rball ciiauge its constitution is monstrous," sjiid another. "Then' is .no warrant for it I ?mrnrnm where." On tin* whole, it inav e said that the,* Arkanas na'ssaji?!. i far. has <]ono ^ooil. It. has shown lOUUll.'lll Jtepll I 'ijruus IIMVUIU lull an nlivss they were <1 i:iItihit. ill lias done more oven than the ew Orleans atfair to excite alarm ml opposition. Martial Law in Time qJ' Peace. The Republican caucus lias deriniiinl on a i>ill tor the better >vernmer.t oj'the Southern States, liieh, after providing lor the misJiinent at'a number of (Tfionce* id Hie arrest of offenders, has filial clause which empowers the resident, in his discretion, to ispend the writ of habeas corjtus any State in the I nion "when* 'Of in any State unlawful com i&tions hlmll be organized or tempted, and so numerous and nverful as to be able by vionce to set at defiance or over-i rn any State authorities. Tha bill litis been denounced : the leading journals North and >utli, and especially bv the New ork JleraU, as entirely uneonitutional, and besides as providihg me of the necssa.iy safeguards to leek the despotic exercise of tliej le man power. It is uneonstitu:?nal, because that instrument ily recognizes Federal interposim in trie affairs of a State, in ease 'a rebellion ?r insurrection against! e loea! authorities, too powerful r the State authorities to over>nie. and then otilv when a call for d lias been rifafife-by 'the State egislature, or when that, cannot he semhled. then hy the Governor, ut this hill leaves everything to the Jiseretiotr' of the President, as to ic pro|>er emergency for his in'tference, without any reference > the State authorities whatever, ml with limitations or checks upon ie exercise of the most despotic owers. All of these powers, ns the Jlcrald rges, are to he intrusted to a Present who has only recently shown is disregard of constitutional limations and his wish to subject the ivil authorities to the strong arm f military law?to aPresident who as suffered a State Legislature to e dispersed by Federal troops? ho authorized the "banditti" disatch?who authorized the Federal oldiers to drive out of office a iherift'at Vicksburg, and who has list alarmed the country by a mesage to Congress proposing to overhrow the existing government oi Arkansas. Yet to the "discretion* if such a ruler the bill proposes tc eferthe exercise of almost unlimied powers. As the Herald states, the measure 3 urged not by the leading men oi he Republican party: "It is pro )osed, it is urged, it is pressed b} he bummers, the hangers-on o he party, by the Southern mem )ers who have no constituency, b} Northern members whose political jippfp purls on the 4th of March. b\ he adventurer element which re nains to us from the war. "If this wild scheme is brough >efore the House it ie not for the democrats to oppose it. Let then >ut the responsibility where it be ongs. It is for the Kepublicar eaders?the lilaines, the Hales, tin )a\vses, the "Willards, the Phelps is?to rise in their places and deilare that they are the Kepnblicai uirty. and that they are not concerned in this conspiracy agains lie public liberties and the pi,ibli< safety. It.jjtf^ygg- to thereto Jfe trj f'll If nnw thru- are iin x>ld .and outspoken they may a: .veil die, for their political careen ivill be ended in disgrace. Tlx country will not forgive the carpet daggers and adventurers who liav< L'oncocted and who favor the shame "ul proposition ; hut it will for^ivt itill less those men of houorahh fame who shall now pass it by it iilencc, or with a timid and falter ing opposition. If these men ar( iviso they will not slitter the infa ruous caucus bill?they will meet i in the House, and condemn it in tin name of the party whose leader they aspire to !*>. ' The object'of this measure i not to correct an existing conditio! of disorder, but ostensibly to pro vide for disorders which may hap pen hereafter. It is intended t< rive the President supreme powe during the vacation of Congres and virtually to place at his feet th Legislatures and the Governors c all the States. In other words it i created for political purposes, am not to meet any practical necessitie of the country. We' have said tha the country will not forgive th oien who concocted it in caucus and we may now add that it will no forgive the man who inspired tljii caucus. There is good reason t believe that this scheme for estal lishing martial law throughout th country in tiipe of peace was pre posed to the .Republicans by th President himself, and that his it Huence will he exerted to carry i through Congress. This is mad probable by the fact that he alon is to exercise the unconstitutiom authority the bill proposes t 'Mifer. If this belief be true, the JLftCQPle.

' xuE LIEN LAW IN THE GEORGIA \ LEGISLATURE i 1 The bill to re-enact the Lien1 i ILaw has been indefinitely postponed in the Georgia Legislature j by pretty close vote of 80 to TO. I The principal argument against the bill was that it enabled the merchant to make too large a profit out of the farmer for the supplies furnished, and that the effect was to make the latter poorer year at 'ter year. On tlie other hand it Uvas replied that if the bill were Jnot passed there would be in Georgia 75,000 poor men denied :the only means by which to obj tain credit for the purchase of the j necessaries of life. Gentlemen who owned large farms sought to dejfcat this bill in order to reduce the price of labor by compelling I farmers of small meaus to hire to . them as laborers. i Some of the speakers urged that it was a reflection on the honesty of the farmer to pass a ' law giving him credit. Could ' anything be more absurd? If > that be so, better nbolish all ot our ! transfers of property which are designed to secure the payment of 5 debts. Xo honest man will hesif tate to encumber his property, and no creditor will lie content to ; lend money at reasonable rates 1' without security of some sort. The only way to lessen the price of adj vanct'6 is to diminish the risk, and , the first etcp in this direction is the . passage of a proper lien law.

The Courier-Journal makes a i strong plea in defence of "planta I tion manners," which some of the i ' * I Northern journals have been throwtheir Southern qproncn/Jumas an exponent of extropic brutality. It shows that the I Southerner who owned a planta* tion, though a man of ucholoric 5 impulses to have been a man ? of aftable disposition and polite - demeanor;" civil himself and 2 exacting courtesy from others and with all his detects ehal ^ lenging comparison with an) 1 type of Northern civilization.

The :) only difference between these en[ counters and those which the Hers aid would sneeringly bring out at ?. types of Southern unworthiness, consisted in the fact that "planta? tion manners" involved a question of personal responsibility, while) s the mud-battles of its peculir he 1 roes were mere sham-battles sup 0 ported by empty epithets and bla taut bravado, find in 110 sense the utterances of an outraged iunnhood, holding itself ready to sus. 0 tain its issues at the risk of its life We extol ruffianism nowhere- Wc e do not excuse discourtesy.

LUNATIC ASYLUM. ||]| i>r. Knsor has written a letter t?T the Legislature in which he requests, in anticipation of the neces-j S sity of discharging a number the lunatics fmm the Asylum, an appropriation tor the purpose ??.f de-; fraying their expenses home, or; the passage of a law which shall, require the County Commissioners of tha several counties to remove} j* .them by the 1st Marcli. There aiej ~ three hundred lunatics now in tlio Asylum, and estimating tlio ex-j petises at ?250 j>or anniim, tliej Doctor canuludcs tliut an appropria-Kg tion of ?75,000 is necessary to sus-| tain them, and that if the Lcgis-j* lature appropriate only $50,000 that j * he must discharge one hundred jp patients. Hut, as the Phanix sup:- "" gosts, two hundred dollars per A annum might be made to furnish very comfortablo board, and then, with an appropriation of $60,000, there would be no necessity of dis- j ^ charging any of the patients. Thesej ? are hard times, and many a sane jgS person is forced to live on less than $200 per annum, and we think that a lunatic may he made comfortable on that sum. On that basis au appropriation of ?00,000 would be sufficient, and that sum has been By proposed in the Legislature. An appropriation of $7;>,000 has J1' been allowed bv the Senate.
