TNE ARKANSAS HORROR.
Ths troubles in Chicot county, Arkan
sas, reported by telegraph in the ArraVAL,
have ouiminated In a moat sanguinary
manner. Briefly, the origin of the disturb
ance la ae follows: On Monday of last
week, s negro lawyer named Wynn, got
Into a diapute with some white
men, in Use course of which be was killed
Three persona were arrested for Use awar
der, namely Jobn (senders, Curtis (i ar
ret.; and Jaapsr Dagger, who were put in
Jail in Lake Village, The negroes In that
oounty wars aroused and OtrsiUpag the
direst ii nngasn-ft on all White pereone,
Carticularly on the three men who were
upr .souea. On Priday last, the negro
mob went to the sheriff and foroed him
so give up the keys of the Jail.
They took out the three prisoners, and
leading them some distance from the
a i ansa they snot tavern and than dispersed.
It is reported tbat the utmost excitement
prevail in the nelgorbbood so 1 tbs white
population are fleeing aa fast they can get
away.
APOTHKB AO0OC9TT.
From a aouroe every way reliable we
have gained a more circumstantial Se
conal of the bloody affair. It apposes
that on Monday 11th instant, the negro
Wynne wss killed aa above stated, after
a quarrel in a grocery, by John Maunders,
tiarrstt am Dae, to, were arrested as
saeoaaiiilia to tbe murder it being
onargeo that Uarrett f urnlabed the knife
and that Dog ran held Wynne until tbe
fatal ataba were given. Tne three men
were placed in Jail and guarded by fifty

oounty judge of Chiot, and approved by

voting the Radical ticket. He believed it
a mere attempt to make pease for partisan
purposes, snd that it was unconstitutional
for congress to aasuma the power to regu
late tbe hours of labor or standard of
wages, or division of Joint profits of labor
and capital, or social condition of tbe peo
ple. Such a sweep of iurtsdloiton would
speedily leave nothing to the States or
nwoe. mams au local govemmems ex
pensive sinecures, and make tbe power of
congress as transoenaeni ana sosoruing as
tbe Briiltli parliament.
Mr. Wood believed the petty in power
reti onslble for the troubles of the laboring
men, and that it waa only in thn restora
tion of the Democracy to power that they
an find re'lef.
Mr. Duke suggested an amendment
directing investigation especially Into
what taxes, assessments and duties oa
iinporls, are imposed, directly or indi
rectly by tao lawaof the ITnltsd States,
on any artie'ea awed by the laboring
ol asses, and upon any raw materials which
enter into the manufacture of auch arti
cles; alaowhst quantity of public lands,
which should be retained to furnish
homes for the people and to supply funds
for the education ot tbe masses, haa been
granted to tbe corporations organised and
controlled by and exclusively for the
benefit of a few wealthy individuals.
Mr. Slocuin suggested sn smendment,
naming as oommletBoners, Horace H.
Hsy, Richard P. Trevellick and Alexan
der Troop. He desired an investigation
by persons not selected on account of
party or on account of devotion to high
tariff principles.
Mr. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, re
garded tbe President's messsge (Just re
ceived) aa a fall and effectual answer to
the charges by ths Democratic members
relative to the supposed prcrligscy of tbe
administration. It showed that the Pres
ident's party was the party of reform. He
supported the pending bill aa in the in
terest of all and In tbe interest of com
mon humsnlty. He ohsrged on the Dem
on -alio party tbe full responsibility for
the wsr, for the debt which it entailed,
and the consequent tsxatlon.
Mr. Hswley advocated the bill, snd said
tbe Republican party had always been the
friend of the workingmen. While the
Democrats bsd favored slavery in the
States and Territories, the Republicsos
bd made every msn free.
Mr. speers, of rennaylvanls, suggested
sn amen lment directing an lrqulry to be
mane paiticuisriy into tne syetem or pay
ing laborers in store ordera inatead of
cash, and report what meana oan be adopt
ed to prevent the continuance of tbe ays
tern.
Mr. Burchsnl suggested sn amendment
committing the inquiry to the bureau of
stun miner iireeiion ol me secretary
or tne treasury.
Mr Farnsworth said all tbe evils com
plained of could be remedied by the repeal
sswssie isks md reduction of lon.n
laxes. He opposed sny more'eommis
sions, snd believed common education
and labor could investigate tbe subject
more intelligently ana economically.
Mr. uouinger prererrea that the inquiry
oe made oy an ameer ot tne government
and thought tbe commissioner of sgricul
ture the proper person. If there was to
be a commisaion. however, he wanted, one
of the a immiasioners to be a practical la
boring mm ana tne term of office limit
ed to one year. He denied that the labor
ing claases affiliated with the Inter
national snd iree-lovers.
Mr. Kelly auvooated the bill, and said
he (lu'ies on Irou snd other Ainerlcn
productions were necessary to protect the
American laborer and add to his comfort
Mr. Stevenson said that the laboring
men oi tne country compiainea, or tnia
tariff with Us multitudinous ways,
of laying enormous burdens upon the
people without any benefit to the trees
ury: they oumpisined of legislation be
oauee it fostered monopolies, winding
thi mseives sbout the nation and threat
ening to crush out its life. They com
plained to congress because of an almoat
criminal waste of public lands the na
tional domain robbing them and their
cbildren of homesteads. He believed
these complaints to be unbounded acd
they uertainly d anas I ed i i beard and
gravely considered. For these reasons he
f.vnred tbe -ppomtment ot a commission
Its report would be a document of great
interest, not only In the United States
out in Europe. It would stlmulste the
tide ot iramigraticu from Europe to the
United States, and thereby return the
oi hi of the inveetigstion in a manifold de
gree. Another reason why he favored
the bill waa that the working people
wantid the commission, and they were in
tbe majority in this country. The discus
sion went over until to-morrow.

committee on education and labor.endeav
o ed to affect arrangement ae to tbe
debate. After discussion, Mr. Faru e
gsve notice that he would move tbe
previous question at ooe o'clock
to-morrow. He wta not prepared to
affirm or deny that lugUlalion was
necessary on tbe labor question, but was
convinced that an investigation would do
good There was no partisanship in ques
tion, and the bill was not in the interest
of the Internationale society or trades
unions. He advocated the passage of tbe
bill in the interest of agricultural laborers
and tbe laboring c Issues Sjutb; he wished
to attract e in migrants to that region.
Mr. Campbell suggested a substitute for
tbe bill, but the propoaition was declared
outot order.
Mr. Howe advocated the passage of the
bill Tha evils of whloh tha Industrial
class's complain was aa clear aa the noon
day sun. Investigation would show thst
two billion three hundred and dfty-thiea
million dollars worth of property belong
ing to capitalists was exempt from taxa
tion, and ether interests are taxed to
make up the deficit. Twenty-one million
dollars waa paid annually out of the treas
ury to the banking associations as a mere
bounty. It was shown that the poor man
now paid upon his salt a tax of one hun
dred and fifty-Ave per cent; on cutlery,
ever fifty per ceni; on clothing, ever
sixty-five percent snd on his spade snd
shovel, over forty Ave per cent, while the
i lob man paid upon his Jewelry, diamonds,
levee, gold rings, paintings and statuary,
a tax not exceeding ten per cent. To ad
just the wrongs of the laboring
man, congress wouia nave to re
peal many of the pat financial
schemes of the party lo power. The na
tional bank scheme, the exemption of
the bonded debt from taxation and the
present system of tarifl. Whan tbeae
were repealed the Republican parly would
be repealed and dissolved. The only ob
stacle in this country to tbe Interests of
the maantsi was tbe existence of the Re
publican party, and when it was removed
a better order ot things would reign.
Mr. Cox said it was singular that Penn
sylvania and Massachusetia, States that
bad more of bounties and of tbe protective
jlaaji than any othere, should be ths
moat urgent advocates of this bill. He
would propose an amendment in the

Mr. Morrill said that the committee
were satisfied that it waa necessary In
order t i erect dret-ciaas buildings.
Mr. Carpenter said he had received let
tars from friends In Chicago complaining
:rat there was a movement on toot to
change the location of the zoyernmont
buildings there, and that thla mil would
favor tbat design by leaving the location
optional with the secretary of the trees
ury.
Mr. Trumbull said that the provision
was designed to protect the government
against extortion.
Mr. Carpenter had another o'j-cnor,
That it seemed to admit that the Unlteo
States government could not take lands
for public purposes without the ocnaent
of the legislature.
Mr. C inkling said he had Information
that already there waa speculation ad j a
cent lo what waa supposed to be tbe new
site. He waa informed, too, that four
tilths of tbe owners of the square adjoin
ing the property already owned by the
government were willing to sell. In
view thereof he thought the buildings
should be erected on that site.
Mr. Morrill (Vermont) assured the
senste that there waa an intention on the
part of the secretary of the treasury to se
lect the new aits,
Mr. Logan confirmed Mr. Trumbull's
statement that tbe option given the
secretary of the treasury wss intended to
protect the government from extortion
and not with a view to changing tbe loca
tion. He knew that the people of Chicago
wiahed toe buildings to be erected on the
old Bito. If he believed tbat there was
any probability of a change he would
voto against tbat provision.
Toe bill waa then passed.

A GOOD FELLOW.
Dtocaierj or tbs Stolen Insurance
Pipers How aas Aatvsspiaaaseat Woes
tiood. Stent Among Tbeae Who Can't
Yesterday, two alouchy negro men
walked into the Planters' lneuranoe office
and banded over lo J, Q, Lindsdale a
bundle of papers and a collector's port
folio, which were no other than the papers
tbat bad been stolen out of tbe office two
weeks ago, and were advertised for in the
A fpkal. The negro who osrrled the
bundle of papers oalla himself Oranville
Price, and is a rag-picker by profession.
He told the simple tale ot how he got
possession of the papers aa follows:
'I folio wa the business of rag
pickin', and I has a akin down
at de river, where I os loins wood
and such things when business la
alow up town. Monday morn In' that waa
a week yesterday, I started out early and
had a good sack-lull of rags and old pa
pers, when I got to de honey-locusts
down near de river on de blufl I si the end
of Monroe street) and I saw a good pile of
fresiwookln' papers, and nays I to my
self, says I, here is a nice pile. I found
that packet lyin' alongside of 'em. 1
ficked them up and brought them home
thought they were valuable, and kept
them apart from de rest of de papers. I
cum down town de nex' mornin' snd met
Mr. Pearson, and asked him if he heard
of anyone loain' any papers T He said
'no.' 1 'quired round since dat time,
and dia mornin' Robert Hood come
into de house wld de Appbal, cause
he can read, and tol' ma 'bout who lost
em, and dan both on us oum here and gub
am up."
Hood waa let go, bat Price was held
for s little further investigation by Cap
tain A they, who took him to the station
house. Price's ho one waa reaaarohad
later In tbe day, bnt nothing waa found
In It, ao he waa allowed to go a little after
dark.
A week ago Sunday, it may be proper
to state, the two boxes that bad been
stolen were found under the new bridge
on Monroe street beyond Deck) to; one was
locked and looked aa U it had not been
touched; the other waa unlocked. Tha
contents of both war gone.
