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

guidance which he seeks. The 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.

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/

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

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

that lie does not mean to

liieh, after providing lor the
misJiinent at'a number of (Tfionce*

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

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

' 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. To

! PLANTATION MANNERS.
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

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. XT
