The kiMirg of Cap, Harriott, it seems, grew eat ef ime werde spoke, by him daring the troubles of last eammer in throughout the state could be heard something about Pope county.

No republican can be sent there who dare execute the law; It would be unsafe for anything short of militia to go He Is vored the resolution. Senator Askew said if the efficers were nnable to execute the laws, it was made their duty to call on the governor for assistance, and the militia could be called eat to assist them. The. courts of the eouaty are the proper tribunals to investigate thee matters. Tbie 'is a government of civil, not of martial law.

He thought the assassin of Dodson should be art est ed and tried. If the proper officials cannot efiect his arrest, let the necessary proof be made before the governor who is authorised to employ all the power of the state government" to a assist for that purpose. There is no propriety in martial law now, nor never was. 'Martial law is outside of all constitutions. Martial law means the will of a dictator.

Leave out the "martial law" part of the resolution and he would support it, Senator Dooley was vsry sorry to see any member here who objected to an investigation of this matter, and desired to cover up the action of anybody. He thought we came here for an open, free and fair investigation of the civil affairs of this state. Men were sent to the county of Pope last fall, dressed in broadcloth and kid gloves, to investigate affairs there, and Gov; Had ley adopted their recommendations, but from that day to this there had been assassinations in the county. Hs was opposed to a tern porii icg policy. He wailed a om mil tee to investigate the matter, and if the report declares it to be for the benefit of the republicans and of the people of Pope county to declare martial law then the question could Come properly before the house for discussion.

When the report comes in we can meet the gentleman's argument on martial law. How can the courts of justice do anything when the assassin, is screened behind five hundred armed men In Pope The gentleman seems to want murder committed in that coanty. The time is such that in Pope if an officer steps out ater dark he is taken to a quiet place, prayed with and then shot down and his body thrown into a well, as has been done in this ate before. Senator Rttcliffe could see no good reason for the adoption of the resolution. It is the duty of the legislature to make laws.

Mr. Terrv.of Virsrinis. explained the bill, by which it appears that both princi pal and interest were paid long ago, out by assumption that the calculations of! interest were wrong, there is still a claim of $3,375,800 -due Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina and other states. The bill waarp esei by Messrs.

Donan, Peters, Coborn sod Moore. Messrs. Harlan and Piatt supported the cifcS-; Mr. Fsrnsworth moved to. lay the bill on the table.

Negatived 102 to 103. The vote on the engrossment and third reading of the bill waa yeas 90, nays 118. The bill wa rejected. Mr. Woods; rising to a question of privilege, ofiisred the following resolu tion; Rctolvcd, Th til the testimony reported to the house by the select committee ap pointed under; the resolution of iecem-ber.

1872. for the investigation of charges of bribery in influencing members of the! boure of representatives, be referred to the judiciary commit tee, with instructions to report articles of impeaehment against Schuyler Coliax, vice-president, of the United Statea, if, in its judgment, there is evidence Implicating that officer and war- ranting his impeachment. The resolution having been read, Mr. Sergeant moved to lay it on the table. Mr.

Randall called for tho yeas and naya. i i Mr. Ty nef raised the question for pret-ent consideration. The Speaker ia reply to various inquiries, that Under the forty-first rule a member bad a right to have the question submitted to the boose when any propo sition or motion ts made. That question had been raised and ft waa for the house to aay whether the impeachment resolu tion would now be considered.

The question was takea and decided in the negative yeas 105, nays 109. So the house refused, to consider the resolution, democrats all voted aye, as did Beatty, Butler of Farna worth. Porter of Sherman, and Smith of Vt. There were great groups ef members gathered about Banks of Mass whose vote against considering tha resolution seemed to disappoint the democrats. la explaining bis vote be said that Colfax had testified and be had not heard or read bin- testimony, and could aot, therefore, vote for the resolu tion.

vs Mr. Tyner offered a resolatien, which wss referring the testimony taken before the Poland committee to the judiciary committee, with, instructions to iuiui vunuci uajuiBf is SUED iel- many wsrrsnts articles of impeachment of any officer of the United States not a member of the -rase, or make it proper that further investigation 1 ahould i be ordered in his ease. Mr. Randall then offered a resolution. which was adopted, referring the statement "of Lgrand Lockwotd, of Kew York, before the comniittee on ways and means, that a'laree amount of money had been ued lattsesicn to Sfcnre sn sddi.

We are; cot astoaisbe at; the, killing of Dodson. The only wendWr Is that it was not done long before. The manner in which the so celled eleclilea ef IjTovwnber was eon doeted In Pope eoanty, at which Dodeon claims to hate been re-elected sheriff, the aetion of Get. LTaJIv in eommiesion-ing him, notwithstanding the fact that he knew the election wen; hot a farce, and if anybody was legally elected it waa Fow" ler, taken in connection with the brutal murder of two innoceint and inoffensive wrUonera last nmrnet, under the orders of Dodsin and fcis.

posts, were events bj no mean calculated to inspire the people of Pope coon7 with any great respect for the stale government or lore for Djd-son. By reference to the proceedings of the legislature this morning, it will be a sen that both Borises propose to look ioto these trouble, and even threaten martial law in the coanty. A declaration of martial law, we Imagine, has no special terrors for the people of Pope. They hays been wronged, iesu'ted and catrsged so long by Dodson and his backers that any change would be preferable to a contina ance of their role. Bat martial law is wholly unnecessary, When Mr.

Fowler Is recognised as sherifl, as he shoo Id be, the troubles will be at an end. We feel like Ssnater Bearers, in explaining his vote on this subject yeeterday-i-if all re- porta be troe, no man deserved death more than Dodeon, and now that he is out of the way, It may be reasonably expected that there will be peace in Pope coaaty. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. crw a to 1873 Senator Dawson, under a suspension of the rule, offered the following Whercas, Intelligence having been received at the capital of the state of Arkansas of the reopening of the late difficulties which occurred jin the county of Pope, and stale aforesaid, during the fall of 1872; and Whereas, By aid reopening; of diffi-' eiilties be murder of Sheriff Dodson and Dput? Sheriff Her riott haria been con-sammated -in a firrdi-h and cowardly manner, by some, nakeown assassin i inrrciore, it Retohed, That a eemmiitee of two1 on the part of the asnate, and three on the part of the house of represenutives of the state of Arkanaas, be appointed te inquire into and investigaie the canse of said troubles, with power, if necessary, to send i for persons and papers, and to report to the general assembly as early as practi-" cable, some manaer or measnre by which life and property may be protected aad made sac a re in said county. Senator Dawson made a few remarks in favor of the resolution.

He thought something oaght to be done. If the gov- ernor will not 'art, 1st the general assem bly take such action as will stop these outrages. 3 Senator Tsrrans was ef a simitar mind. He thought treope eoght to be sent there at once. The temporUisg policy of Oov.

Senators While Clayton snd Torrans spoke in favor ol the resolution. They dtsired speedy action.

'3 Sena or Askew spoke in opposition to the resolution, i i Senator Terrene said jt was a well known fact that the officers ef that county were unabU to carry ou the mandates ojf the courts therein. Whjf Gov. nsdley iad eet in his plaee for pjix months and permitted nerder to be! committed in that county had always beea a mystery to hinxi Had he been governor at that time he would have Ideclaijed martial law in Pope ewnnty. and wonU have tried the assassins by drnm-heai eonrt martial and shot them at daylight kexl morning: He would, not have permitted them to appear before juries, i Tie was in favor of hort and deciaive aeti4a.

While he did not believe in taking men op, and hanging them by the wholesale, like the Senator from Lafayette, (Torrans,) yet he was satisfied, if reports be true, that from this time forward there would be peace in Pope, for if there was a man in Arkansas who deserved to be hang it wss Dodson.

Price aad John Mo Clare, were Cheap Johns.

He read the article in relation to himself, and made comments on the charges made against htm, leaving the house to decide the question whether he (Millen) had retarded legislation or not. He said he was asked the other daywhy this Cheap John Printing Company were allowed to keep the public printing. He would answer that one of them was the chief justice of the supreme court of the state, and hence could protect the public printers, and that whatever Notice the Cheap Johns be stowed on htm he would esteem as a compliment. He said to the house that these Cheap Johns bad ai big scheme to fond the state scrip, and knew hs wss too Independent to become a tool for their use.
