who waa annotated to investigate ine state or anairs in Arkansas. has submitted his report to the War Depart ment. After alludinc to the general ensnares consequent upon the late war, the difficulties attending a transition from military to civil rule as its termination, and the violence of lawless men, which every law abiding citizen at last began to regard with such indifference as to yield no assistance to the civil authorities, the report proceeds to state that this state of affairs finally compelled the Ex ecu live to Duisue some stringent course for re establishing the supremacy of the law. Several methods were adopted. In the first place detachments of United states troops were placed in command of the different sheriffs of the towns, to act aa a posse in case of an emergency.

But this was only a temporary ex pedient. It was followed by the enrollment of militia for the same purpose. This plan failing, the next step taken was to place the several counties wnere tne civil now era were unable to enforce their authority under martial law. The State waa divided into districts, and a movable force of militia organized for the "pursuit and arrest of ob noxious parties. The result of this was that tne law abiding citizens in those districts held meetings and pledged themselves to assist the local authorities in the performance of their dunes, in every county where these guarantees were, given the civil law has re earned its sway, and martial law now exists in one or two of tnem.

Tne report character izes the stories about the outrages committed by the militia as exaggerated and in many instances pure fabrications. None otber than the violations of order necessarily inci dent to the presence of such a force have occurred. In cases where the instructions are departed from, the delinquents when de tected were pumsnea according to tne null' tary code. A militia man of the southwest command perpetrated a gross outrage, and he was promptly tried and executed. The report oonciaaes As fast as the civil authority is re estab the militia force ia disbanded, and it ia confidently believed that the civil law can be enforced in the future by the officers thereof.

Electoral Amendment. Wasbxhgtoh, Jan. 28. In the Senate, the suffrage bill being under consideration, Mr.

Buck ale moved to add the following as an additional section, the second clause of the first section, article 20, of the constitution of the United states, shall be amended so as to read as follows Each State shall appoint, by a vote of the people thereof, qualified to vote for Represent tires in Congreea, a num ber of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the Senate may be entitled in the Congress, but no Senator or Repreeentative, or person hold ing an office of trust or profit under the United States shall be appointed an elector, and the Congress shall have power to prescribe the manner in which ench electors shall be chosen by the people. He said that the amendment proposed to make two changes. First, to require the electors to be chosen by the people instead of leaving it to the Legislatures of the States to direct how they shall be chosen and second, to authorize Congress to prescribe the mode of their selection by the people. After considerable discussion, during which the amendment was generally commended, though the opinions expressed of it should be treated separately. Mr.

Buckalew withdrew his amendment, and afterward introduced it as a joint resolution, which was referred. From Cuba HVANA, Jan. 28.

Spanish accounts continue to represent that the insurgents in the eastern departments in large numbers are presenting themselves to the authorities, and claiming the benefits of the amnesty proclamation. The wrecking ship Arrieta, seized on suspicion, has, after investigation, been released, there being no evidence that she was engaged in carrying supplies to the rebels. and other places of public amusem*nt have been closed. Boulvell and Ifis Propositions. Writes the Washington (Jan.

24) correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Express: The two propositions of Mr. Boutwell, the first to enact by Congress concurrent negro suffrage, (no other,) and the second to amend the constitution, as some Republicans doubt the power of Congress to enact negro saffrage in New York, Ohio and elsewhere, rubs hard. There were intimations from some of the Republican leaders, Saturday, that they would not stand it.

Gen. Sehenck, It is said, is reluctant to run the negro machine in Ohio, after the voting experience in that State. Mr. Brooks, not to be outdone, will try to add on to negro voting, women and children (over twelve years) voting. Though the babes will rejoice in all this, aa well aa the women, Mr.

Speaker Colfax win so rule things, that no direct vote can be had on Mr. Brooks's proposition. Mr. B. also proposes to do away with the nativity of the constitution, and let every German, Irishman, Norwegian, Swede, Italian, Frenchman and Spaniard vote, as the negroes are to vote, without naturalization, or any other tedious process of delay.

If this sort ot Democracy is to be the Republican order ot the day, it is very evident Mr. B. does not intend to be outdone in it. 1ST At the last masked ball of the Grand Opera, Paris, domino said to a gentleman "Do try to squeeze into my box."

Nothing is covered up. The militia had committed outrages, but the offenders, as far aa practica ble, had been summarily dealt with five bavins been eaeeaUd os of a force numbering 1000. On the whole the militia had acted aa well as any militia would have done. Many out rages were reported that had not been done by the State troops, but by marauders who followed in the wake, representing them selves as militia. As the State is too poor to uniform them this evil could not be remedied.

but the officers had instructed citizens to shoot down all pretended militia. Another cause of the reported outrages was tnat commissary trains nad been organized, which being found impracticable, he had ordered officers to subsist their commands on the country, give vouchers and where claimants could establish their loyalty they would oe pain. In regard to the policy of calling out the militia he gave his reasons almost identically with Porter's report to Gen. Grant. He said many good Republicans had differed with him in regard to tnat line of policy, but be was determined to cure the evil for all time by maKing tne worx snort, scarp and decisive.

Ilia a eoneentrated extract "of rare Barsaparflla, combined with ether anhstanosa of stm greater alterative power as to afflord an effective antidoto for the dlscasca Barsapacina Is reputed to euro. It la believed that soon remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous eom plaints, and that one which wm accomplish, their euro must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow eltixena.

Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foal eruptions ana TUoerons. sores through which the system will strive te rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin In pimples, eruptions or sores cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins eieanse It whenever it la foul, and your feelings will tell you when.

Even where no particular disorder la felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy. and all is well; bnt with this pabulum of hfe die ordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later somethlrjg must go wrong, and the great machinery ef life Is disordered and overthrown. Saraaparilla has, and deserves much, the repu tation of accomplishing these ends.

Bat the world has been egregionsly deceived by prepara tions of it, partly because the drug alone haa not all the virtue that Is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be ooneen tasted extracts ot it, contain but little of the virtue of SarsapaifUa, or any thing else. Daring late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparllla for oie dollar. Host of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only eon tain little, if any, Sarsaparllla, bnt often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment haa followed the use of the various extracts or Barsapamia which flood the market until the name itself ia Justly despised, and haa become anonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this Compound Sarsaparllla, and intend to snpply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it.

And we think we have ground for be lieving it Las virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is Intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. AYJEJECS CHERAT PECTORAL. bias won for itself such a renown for the cure of every variety of Throat and Lung Complaint, that it ia entirely unnecessary for us to recount the evidence of Its virtue, wherever it haa been em; ployed. As it has long been in constant use throughout this section, we need not do more than assure the people its quality is kept np to the best it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
