GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
, ^ ARKANSAS.
Tin- Legislature of the State conven
ed on Monday, the (ith of November.
A permanent organization was effected
bjrelceting Bradley Bunch, of Carroll;
county, speaker. John King, of Sebas-j
tine county, clerk. The meeting of this
legislature is or great importance toj
the State—questions of great moment
will be presented aud acted uppn. The ,
time lias come when we peed wise Leg-;
Illation. Sneh i« the condition of na
tional affaire, that we must, as a State •
exist and grow within ourselves—and
the prosperity and well being of Ar
kansas depeuds entirely upon the wis
dom in action of the present Legisla
ture. Wo have groat faith in the in
tegrity and capacity of our Represen
tatives,and look forward to a general
improvement of our condition through
their deliberations.
(Q- We learn from Memphis papers
that Gen. Forrest has taken the contract
for building the Memphis & Little Rock
Railroad from Madison to Duvalls Bluff. j
This is an important step toward the;
improvement of our State. The com
pletion of this road will conduce much
to the building up of that portion of
the State through which the road passe*
Upon this subject the Memphis Ledger
says: “Arkansas will become prosper
ous and great in proportion rs her ter
ritories shall be settled. If railroad
induce emigration, emigration induces;
the sale of lands and their cultivation.
That Stato needs nothing so much as1
population, and railroads will bring it.
The road we arc now. straining evert '
unnen'r ruicVi llipmurli Will
flow with a people all the way. At the
depots little villages will spring up as
if by tnagic, and about them on either \
side, for miles away, a dense popula-;
tion will gather. If Little Rock shall
become a feeder for Memphis, Memphis,
with greater capacity, will in turn be
come a feeder for Little Rock. The
advantage will be mutual, and both will
prosper together. The latter city is a
ecu tec, us our cotemporary argues, but
without swift- communication with
greater cities, that position will avail
nothings li' direct rail intercourse with
Memphis would injure our neighbor,
so would direct rail intercourse with
St. Louis. Cairo or any other city, in
jure it. Differing from our cotempo
rarv, we think that intercourse with
Memphis is precisely wluit the interests
of Little Rock require.”
f,tS“ M'e have nothing ol' a political
nature to offer our renders this week.
Nov. that the Northern elections arc
over—excitement has in a great meas
ure subsided, and everything seems
settled for the present. The Southern
people seem to accept, as a certainty,
their isolated condition; being but lit
tle affected by the result of the late elec
tion. They are not yet prepared to ra
tify the constitutional amendment, and
It is to bo hoped they will never be. Of
one tiling' we are satisfied: Congress
will impeach, or more properly attempt
to impeach the President—whether
they will succeed or not is a question
belonging to the future. In our judg
ment they will not this session, which
Is the short session, and in which very
little business of importance is usually
done.
CONVENTION OF THE PEESS,
"tYo leant from the Pino Bluff' Vindi
cator. that this convention will beheld
on the first Monday in December. We
trust that there will be a good attend
ance of editors ;as a mutual understand
ing and general acquaintance will con
duce much to the “ power of the Press,”
in its endeavors for the puolic good.
Tho Constitutional Amendment.
The New York World, in an elabor
ate article upon the Constitutional
amendment, throws out the following
advice to it* Southern readers :
If we might take it upon us to advise
our Southern fcllow-eitirens, we would
counsel them to reject the proposed
amendment; to yield quiet obedience
to all constitutional laws; to maintain
order; to protect and encourage the
free dm e n by equal laws ; andt.0 abstain
carefully from agitating questions of
Federal politics. When it becomes
evident: that they are determined to
await tills with dignified reserve; that
they will neither humiliate themselves
nor disturb the peace of the country;
that they will furnish no food to agita
tion. but quietly demean themselves a*
law-abiding citizens, and patienflv
await the result; and that nothing will
shake their resolution not to be parties
to their further humiliation, the Radi
cals will be embarrassed and nonpluss
ed. The odious responsihility-of keep
ing the Union permanently dissolved
will come home to that party, and make
it the object of general detestation. It
will be seen that great loyal commu
nities u Inch constantly practice justice
and obey the laws, are deprived of
rights plainly given them by the Con
stitution. The public sentiment of the
country wilt remonstrate against and
redress the wrong. The Radical party
could not stand two years against the f
dignity, determination and respect for
public order which we recommend to I
the South. We disclaim the otQciutts
uess ot intruded advice: for we have i
no doubt that under the form of a j
recommendation, we are expressing
what the South will spontaneously do
of its own accord. But we trust’it is
not impertineut to express our opinion
of the effect such conduct will have on i
thepublic sentiment of the North.

The thirty-ninth congress (second ses
sion) will reassemble in the national capi
tal on til; lirst Monday in December next,
and its constitutional term of existence
will end on the fourth of March ensuing
It. will be what is generally known as the
short session, during which very little
business can be expected beyond the ap
propriation bills and some tinkering of the
tarilf, the national bank and currency sys
terns and internal revenue laws.
The Herald thinks the attempt to im
peach the President will bo made, and
produces the following charges from a
late speech by Beast Butler :
1. An attempt to bring congress into
public hatred, ridicule and contempt.
2. Wrongfully using the power of ap
pointment, aud disregarding the preroga
tives of the t inted States senate in the
appointment of men whom that body, in
pursuance of constitutional authority, had
tried and rejected.
o. For declining peace in the insurrec
tionary states without the consent of con
gress.
4. l’or corruptly using the pardoning
power.
5. For failing to enforce the civil rights
bill
t>. For complicity in the New Orleans
riot.
'] he Herald has the following com
ments on titese charges:
But what is the case made out against
! President Joenson by Gen Ben. Butler '(
; First, that Andrew Johnson has been
: guilty of the “attempt to bring congress
into public hatred, ridicule and eon
| tempt.’’ We presume this has reference
| to some of the unfortunate speeches deliv
ered by Air. Johnson in his late unlucky
las at Chicago; but there is some pallia
tion for those speeches in the provocations
ot’ certain radical leaders and stumpers
leveled at President Johnson. They
railed at him, and he paid them in their
own coin, only he forgot to discriminate
between congress and its railing radicals.
Butler’s second charge of ''wrongfully
using the power of appointment'' amounts
to nothing. In this business Mr- John
son, wisely or unwisely, has only followed
the examples of his predecessors from the
time of General Jackson. The third
charge, that he was guilty of a high crime
or misdemeanor in ''declaring peace in the
insurgent states without the consent of
congress,” is simply absurd, as is the
fourth, iu regard to the exercise of the
pardoning powers. The fifth, ‘ for failing
to enforce the civil rights bill,” remains
to he proved-, and the sixth, "for -complic
ity in the New Orleans riot,” is not sus
tained by the facts. If as good, it is no
better than Mr. Johnson's charge against
the radicals of congress that they incited ,
the New Orleans riot; and this brings us I
to the end of the budget of Butler.
I pon these charges or something like
them, we expect- the attempt will be made ’
to impeach the President at the coming
session of congress We undertake to say
however.that no hill of impeachment will
pass the house, aud that It put to the test
it will hardly' receive more than forty or!
fifty votes or the strength of the extreme
radical faction.
As usual, the Herald winds up with an
urgent appeal iu behalf of the constitu
tional amendment, of which it lias for some
time been a devoted admirer.—[Memphis

We believe the officers and men in the
department are'disposed to be what the
law requires them to be, conservators of
the peace, and it is hoped and expected,
that they will cheerfully aid us in pre
serving the peace of the city.
We also invite all good citizens to as

that they will use their best endeavors to
prevent any undue excitement, and that
they will also advise all disposed to act
otherwise to quietly and peaceably acqui

The Philadelphia Bulletin has a special
dispatch from Baltimore which says: Gov.
Swann's new police commissioners applied
last night to Judge Martin to be sworn
into office. The Judge refused to attend
to business outside of the court, and there
has been no application in court up to this
time. The clerk of th e court is Alfred
Mace, a staunch loyalist, and he will not
swear in the new commissioners. Judge
Martin will also probably refuse to swear
iii the new commissioners unless they
agree to test the question in court before
taking possession of the offices to which
they have been appointed by the Govern
or. The old polico commissioners will
not recognize the appointment of Govern
or Swann, under any circumstances
except actual military force. One-forth
of the old police force will refuse to serve

Factories at Work.
From the Vat! Mall Ga/.ettc.
ft is a matter of sincere congratula
tion that our crisis of manufacturing
distress is past, that all factories are
again at work and likely to remain so,
and that the whole of our operative
population is once more employed, and
employed at even higher wages than
heretofore. II is gratifying too. to
recollect that during the four calami
tous years we have had to encounter,
when nearly a million of people were
more or less dependent upon charitable
aid, not a single person is know n to
have perished from "'.'tut; and that we
traversed a protracted period or unpar
alleled and industrial disorganization
with less permanent mischief ol either
a moral or social character than any one
believed possible. There was a wide
spread ruin among capitalists; there
was sad impoverishment and bitter dis
tress among the laboring poor; there
was severe pressure of many sorts
among all ela-.-es; but through the
whole period there was scarcely ail at
tempt at riot ; there wasliE’.e drunken
ness and less crime, "while the feeling
between employed, though far from
perfect, still was softened rather than
! embittered bv the crisis.
One thing appears certain—at least
all onr former experience points in this
■ direction—the cotton of the I'nited
, States will always, in the main, be pre
| ferred to every other quality if it can
be supplied io us in ample quantity
land at a sufficiently low price. That
, being the ease, we shall only purchase
the articles furnished to us by India
and Egypt cither as supplementary, or
in ease they can tempt us either by
■ price or quality, for there arc certain
characteristics in w hich the Egyptian
staple is preferable even to American.
Beecher on Political Preaching.—
Henry Ward Beecher has lately regaled
his Brooklyn audience with a purely
political speech, on the Sabbath.
Among tilings spoken is the following ;
And the mail who says the Scripture

that appellation by being ignorant of
the Bible. For in the olil Testiment, it
it is characterized by one thing above
another, it is the discussion ot' public
affairs, and a policy where the church
and the State were perfectly united, so
that the priest was the magistrate ami

The SrEAKEK.—In the organization
ol'the House, yesterday, Hon. Bradley
Bunch, of Carroll, was elected Speaker,
on the second ballot. The duties of
the position are familiar to the new
Speaker, he having served in that capa
city at the regular session of’tiUand in
the called session in <12 of the Legisla
ture. This is his fifth session in the
lower House. The house has made a
good selection, and will liuil in the
Speaker elected an efficient officer.
Mild, yet firm, in his manner, possess
ing no common natural abilities, an ex
perienced legislator thoroughly versed
in parliamentary proceedings, his elec
tion will contribute greatly to a rapid
execution of the work before the House.
B-i*” Brick Pomeroy's paper says that
combinations are already being formed
in many of the Northern States, which
render it probable that three candidates
will be entered for the next Presiden
tial campaign. Chase-is understood to
be the choice ol' the ultra Radicals.
This ticket will be fortified by the bond
holding interests and the National
Banks. The Conservative Republicans
appear to be looking to President John
son or General Grant, and lie will, in
all probability, be their chosen standard
bearer. The Democrats will, no doubt,
unite upon McClellan, who will take
the field again in l-StiS. We think the
prospects for another triangular cam
paign very flattering.

IMPEACHMENT.
Some ol‘the Radical politicians ofi
j the North are beginning to shrink from j
j the extreme demands of their party.']
They do not urge, hut rather deprecate, |
.impeachment of the President. They I
arenot willing to face iho consequences.
In the canvass they were bold to insti
gate it, as a measure for winning votes,
‘hut u lieu it comes to carrying out a
! programme so fraught with violence
j and mischief-—so unwarranted by any
constitutional principle — they back
down from it, and endeavor to assuage ;
the popular clamor which they have as
sisted to raise. We very nuch doubt
' whether these Conservative Radicals
are not the worst enemies of Conser
vatism that it has to meet. The attempt
to impeach the President upon the
grounds the extreme Radicals propose,
would arouse and intensify the entire
Conservative element of the country.
It would raise, a storm of indignation
which they could not combat. Every
latent element of law and order would
he aroused into action. This is a state
| of things which would not he healthy
I for Radicalism. It is, however, a con
dition of feeling that would be highly
! comlusive to the political health of the
country. We therefore deprecate the
pause which has occurred in the vio
lent plans of the Jacobins. It would,
perhaps, he better that they should run
their course of revolution and anarchy
at once, and that the people should ful
I ly understand their designs. There is
! no better time to make the issue than
j now. if they have resolved upon merg
; ing all departments of the Grovernment
in the Legislative department, let the
| issue be made. Let them impeach the
; Executive and put him on trial. If the
people are prepared to sustain such a
j measure, it is better now than hereaf
i ter. Anything is better than a living
torture. If we are to have despotism,
let it run its course. If we are to have
anarchy and revolution, let it come,
rather than wc should he in suspense
Sits to our fate. In any event wc stand
1 a better chance for the “ sober, second
thought" to reach the masses. The mu
I jority have the power to rule in either
way. If they prefer despotism and au
archv. tlicv can have it. If thev wish
law usul order, they can command them |
whenever they may issue their edict.— •
