Snendmont, perhaps, modifies the Inw to tome extent, but leaves it go obscnre that we question whether it will’ be construed as n substantinl! change. Why does tho amend- mont include only manufacturing companies? Why not oll companies formed for any business which is open to any other company or person? So long as mcorporation has no rights or privileges not equally open to all pther corporations and persons, why should {ls properly be taxed differently from all pther property? ‘Tho principle of the pro- sino ig right and sound.

In an unlucky moment for him, ho complained to the Public Prosecutor of the Capitale's liconso, Tho Jaltor waa notified to auspend the pubticas tion of the “ History," and did so. Within s sceek, howover, the Prosecutor wrote a public letter to tho Pope, announcing that the Inwe of Italy allowed freo spocch.

" DEDATE ON TIME INVESTIGATING COMMITTER's MELOUT. Spectal Dindateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasninoron, D. C., Mareh 2.—Tho Arkansas question was discusacd for three hours in the day session of the Houss, and the voto ordered tobe taken at 8:30 in the evening soesion, The no of the argument was mainly thatof the ma- jority and minority roports.: Mr, Scudder, of Now York, said tho Constitution pormitted Fad- oral interference undor three conditions: Whon 6 Ropublican form of Government is superseded, when domostic violence threatons tho exiatence of tho State, and in cases of invasion. Nolther of theso oxisted in Arkansas. Ho pointed to tho larga, numbor of col- orod citizens holding office in Arkansas as an evidence that the class in whoso intoroat Interference was askod was not ignored or disfranchised. All clasaoa wore at peace, and buainoss, which always sbruok from disorder, Was prosporous. The Government wos golng on smoothly, and tho litigants were hoard in tho courte, The groat writ of habeas corpus hadnot bean auspondod, It waa not denicd that indi- vidual disturbancea occurred in Arkanaes as in other States. Arkansas presented the sppear- ance of # frontier State, in his opinion, no worse snd no more dangerous, Wo dented that a Con- stitution that waa, as that of Arkansas had beon tormed, “a fraud and an abomination,” could bo tmposed upon 70,060 whites and 90,000 colored people, ‘The poace now in Arkansas came from TH ACQUILKCENOE OF HEN PEOPLE IN THE CONSTI“ ‘TUTION. Ho referred to the frauds which were charged to have been porpetrated in Arkansas, oud sald it wos humiliating to admit that frauds wera committed by Republicaus. Ho said Elisha Baxter waa declared elected by the only tribunal on earth that had powor to make the decision, and there itwhoutd havo rosted. Josh Brooke submitted his contest in the legistativo body, whore it was rejected, only nine voting in his favor. The action of the Legislature stoppod all procecdingu elsowhora, Tho Suprema Court or Arkansas had deniod the application of Brooke, declaring that no court in tho Stato had powor to sot aside the dociuion of tho Legis- lature. Daxtor had dono many thlogs that he ought not to bayodono, Ho found a partial uo- lution of affaire in Arkansas in a letter accom- panying tho President’s massage, in which it ia said thora is not a man in the Stato that has as much political sense as an oysier, Io coutend- eq that the action of the Jor court in connection with tho claim of Brooks to tho seal was ‘WHOLLY AT VARIANOX WITH ANY LEGAL AUTHORITY, and commondod the Prosjdont for his action in reinatating Uaxter, Aa to the Constitution, ho held that its acceptance and the acquicacenco of the peoplo of Arkausas, who wero primarily tho power to decide upon it, made itn valid iustru- ment. In conclasion, he bold that Baxter had been by threo tribunals doolared the Governor of Arkauuan: Tirst, by tho Legialaturo; socond, by tho Suprome Court of tho State; aud, third, py the President. Tho Legiglature was convoned with tho approval of the Prosidept, There were irregularities ta connection with tho Conatitue tioual Convention, but they woro not to be con- sidered in tho higher queution whother the Fed- eral Governmont should pass into the State to mako ils Constitution, Lo asserted that the Conatitution was Ropublican in form, and that tue Governmont under it was Republican in form, MM, WARD, OF ILLINOIS, declared tho whole affair, conimoncing with the election of Baxter, astupoudous fraud, Daxter wa neyor elected Governor, ae admitted by the whole Commitice, In pa uation, ho sought to perpetuate his power, 0 Logislaturo was convened, and there a corrupt syrooment was mado that thoy would hold the State of Arkan- asa. Many of the mombora wero novor eloctad, but counted in by the wame kind of frauds that gave Daxter his sent, A Committos on Elec- tions was appointed to admit no contost- ante, Then a special sossion was called, although Baxter bad ‘peanilged not to call an extra seasion, and tho Nopublicans refused to at- tend. Their placcs were filled by partisans of Uaxter. During the oxtrs session of the Legia~ Jaturo ono of tho first acts was to SUSPEND ALL COUNTS IN THE BTATE, and thoy remained suspended until the Conatt- tution waa adopted. suri this interval fraud, force, and terrorim rolgned, Undor this atate of things there waa no opportunity for the people to oxpreas thomsolvea {ju relation to tho Con- atitution, All over the Stato armed bands of maraudera passed and repassed, throatening evorything against those who dared oppose the Constitution. This was part of the genoral coospiracy, He eaid Garland, m certifying tse eloction of members of the Lower House, did so without any rocord of thoir elco- tion or knowledgo that tlioy were elocted. Un derlying tho whole thing thore was a vell of fraud and violence that whould provent ita ever roceiving the wauation of Congress, Yue reme- dy, he held, waa to displace the waurpera, and thoy would ylold, Thero would then bo peaco in Arkangaa. “Lt would not do to aay that Arkansas ig ne poacoful as it ad over been since recon- struction, There hod been over 1,600 murders in that State.

Poland's friends claim that bis specoh chauged = 95 votes. Poland was as much sucprivod at thie vote as anybody, The Mrooks peoplo havo al- waya claimed twenty majority, Polend said he did uot consider the question of the election of 1872 a vital one. The question was whether there was in the new Constitution that which called upon Congress to ignore It, He ad- Yorted to the fact that the very men who cheated Urooks out of his election in 1872 wore tho mon who now camo here and appealed to Ho- publicans to interfere as @ patty moasure, Judge Polsnd, in conclusion, said that tho United Sta ay BO mmora right to loterfore with Arksusas thau bas England or France.

Mr. Loganin his speoch estimated the sum necoseary to meot the requiremonts of the bill at 80,000,000, but Mr. Sher- man, in reply to this, stated tho eum had been ostimated at 250,000,000 by officers of tho Becond Auditor's office, and over 8100,000,- 000 by the Paymastor-Goneral. ‘ho third sec- tion of tho bill as it came from the Housa pro- vided forthe deduction of all bounties alresdy sid under any United States or State law.
