lMJKKK tTIC STATE CONVEN
TION.
From Ihc Little Rock Gazette, wc
le.irn that the St.-ito OoliVotlUon, called
by the Democratic Central Committee
convened on the 27th nit. Every comi
ty in the (State was represented and
great .enthusiasm prevailed.. A)Id Line
Whites. Democrats and those (hat were
once Republican were there united to
take action for the salvation of Arkan
sas from the hands of Radicalism and
ruin. So large a crowd and so deter
mined a body of men have rarely, if
ever, assembled at, the capitol. It is
an indication that the conservative cle
ment of the State is thoroughly aroused
to the great work that is before them
am! is certainly a promise of good to
us us a people. Of the convention the
Gazette says:
‘•It will certainly be gratifying to
Ihc friends of the conservative cause
and the democratic organization to re
cognize among the delegates to tile
democratic Mate i (invention so many
citizens whose characters for intelli
gence and probity arc universally con
ceded. That this class has consented
to emerge from their retiracy and par
ticipate in a political convention ar
gues their appreciation of the danger
of the crisis and that the people
throughout the Stale arc thoroughly
aroused to the importance of making
an earnest effort to defeat radical ma
chinations. In view of the great dis
taste ot our citizens fwr polities since
ibo war, the scarcity of money and the
almost impassable condition of the
roads, the large attendance must be
taken as indicative of the earnestness
•of the people and their determination
to make a successful struggle for the
triumph of the conservative cause."
Measures were adopted to arouse
Him people to their full strength, in op
position to the great (?) party of "mor
al ideas,” and to an energetic determi
nation to redeem Arkansas from the
mighty insults that may or will be
heaped upon her by the negro worship
ers, now in session at the Capitol, who
(style themselves “a constitutional con
vention!” We have not space for the
entire proceedings, but cannot fail to
note, that in organizing', good men
were called to the Chair and Desk, and
some of the best and w isest men of the
istate appointed upon the several com
mittees. The following are a list of
the officers:
President—S. A. Saunders, of Dallas.
Secretaries—Jacob I'rolich : jr., of
White, C. Thrower, of Ouachita; and
W. J. Buehaon, of Pulaski.
Viee-Prysidents—Jordan E. Cravens,
©fJohnson; Bouldin Duvall, ot Law
rence; E. A. Warren, of Ouachita; P.
O. Thsveatt. of Phillips ; B. D. Turner,
of White ; I. L. Brooks, of Drew : A. I>.
‘Williams, of Hempstead; Joseph
Wright, of Carroll: J. W. Duncan, of
Con way ; ami Weldon E. Wright, of
Pulaski.
Jordan E. Craven*, of Johnson, and
Benjamin Collins, of Drew, wi re ap
pointed a committee to conduct, tiie
president to the chair, amid great ap
plause. On being introduced to the
convention the president said that
through the" partiality of the convention
he hail been called upon to preside over
its deliberations: and he approached
the arduous duties of the position with
distrust of his ability, lie must won
der when he saw cx-congrcssmen and
United States senators present why he,
a quiet citizen of a remote county had
been called upon to preside here, lie
•was not a public speaker; bis place
was at the bed of the sick and the conch
<>f the dying. [A voice: The state is
sick.J Yes very sick indeed, and unless
speedy relief is afforded the patient she
must go uy me ooarn. xvo man How
ever, lie hit ability, could bring more
devotion or patriotism to the great
conservative cause than himself. Jle
took it that we were assembled not as
whigs or democrats but as conserva
tive men whose object was to defeat
that radicalism which we believe is
bringing the country to ruin. The
hannsonio decoration of the lialrby fair
hands and noble hearts testified that
the true women of the country were
with us to eliecr us in our good work :
the evergreens are emblematic of the
principles we advocate. He asked the
aid and indulgence of the members in
the discharge of his duties, and trusted
that harmony would prevail among us
and great good result from onr deliber
ations.
The subject of the Constitution to
be submitted to our State, and the ac
tion to be taken thereon, was ably de
bated, whereupon, Mr. Newton offered
the following:
Strikeout all after the words “pro
posed constitution, and insert, submit
ted by the supposed constitutional con
vention now in session in Little Rock ;
as it is the deliberate sense of this con
vention that that body has no authority
to adff|U or propose any constitution
for the people of Arkansas, and wo do
more especially recommend to the peo
ple of Arkansas that they reject negro
suffrage whenever and in whntever
shop* it may be proposed to them
Several resolutions, declaring a pre
ference for the nomination of candi
dates for the next Presidency, was re
ferred to a committee who presented
the following:
Resolved—That we will support the
regular nominees of the national dem
ocratic or conservative couvudpu for
president aud vice-Preslden^^of the
' United States; and that we leave It to
the discretion of our delegates to that
convention to make such choice in
their votes in the election of such can
didates as may at the time seem to
them most advisable, not believing it
to be proper at this time to trammel
them with instructions in refereuce
thereto.
MV*A communication from Colonel
Willard, of General Cenby’s staff, and
in change of the Bureau of Civil Affairs
at Charleston, Is published, to the effect
that crime in the States of South aud
'forth Caroline is no greater than the
courts are able to attend to; that life
and property ere es secure ee in the

with the evidence relative thereto intro
duced before the committee, be printed,
which drew out considerable debate from
both sides of the house, Jfessrs. McQown,
Bradley, ATyle and Beasley, among others,
taking the ground that the oommittee had
no right to do more than inquire into the

cal character and therefore not coguiaa
abl« by the committee or convention
