The General Appropriation bill was taken np and a committee of conference ask ed for in reference to disagreeing votes of the two Houses on amendments. Home. A resolution was rdopted provid ing for investigation, by joint committee, of the public works.'.... .Senate adjournment resolution was concurred in Senat joint resolution relating to collection of Morgan raid damages was adopted Bills passed: Providing for transfer of indigent children to private Homes; relating to appraisement ot on lanas. The following concluding words of an act of CongreM approved March 18, 1809, must grate somewhat harshly upon the Congressional ear now-a-days : "And the United States also solemnly pledges its faith to make provision at the earliest practicable period for the redemption of the United States notes in coin." Our plan for prepayment of postage on second class matter by gross weight, when presented for mailing, dispensing with stamps and accounts entirely, making the fact of any newspaper mail being In custody of an officer of the department prima facie evidence of its being prepaid, is "so near" the (semi-official) PostofBce Gazette's plan of prepayment, it says, that it "approves it, and welcomes bo powerful an advocate as,the State Journal to labor in the field." If we understand the Gazette's plan, our plan differs from it only in dispensing with stamps, the expense of printing them, and the immense aggregate labor of putting them on and canceling them before distribution causing not only ad ditional work but delay. The Gazette con templates prepayment by stamps, at three cents a pound, in bulk, as we understand it. We would do away with the stamp business on newspapers entirely, except for transient single copies or small pack' ages, perhaps, if thought best though we really do not see why all matter of the third class might not be sent precisely as second class matter under our plan, The Department would save the expense of printing the stamps, and canceling them on all mail matter before sending it, the senders would savo the time of putting them on, amounting in the aggregate to a sum not easily conceived of, when we remember how many days work will be put in in putting stamps on (say) the documents Bent out by a single political committee in the course of a canvass. The thing which makes it impracticable under the present system to have news paper postage paid in advance is the simple impossibility of putting the proper amount of stamps on each package of a daily paper separately, in time for the mails if its circulation amounts to anything worth speaking of; and the other simple impossibility of striking a fair average as to the number of subscribers any given paper may expect to have in any future period of time. We propose to avoid all this by the common sense expedient of charging by weight for the bag full in bulk, when it is delivered, as other carriers charge, making it a felony for the officer of the Department to receive such matter at all unless prepaid, and so making his custody of the matter prima facie evidence that it has been prepaid Newspapers of all sorts and sizes would thus be, treated exactly alike all would pay by weight, they would soon adjust themselves to the new arrangement by charging enough additional to cover cost of prepayment the department would collect all its dues instead of being cheated out of twothirds of them as at present every large postoffice in the country would save the work of one clerk for not less than two- weeks every quarter, m making up advance accounts against the subscribers taking newspapers at that office together with the other advantages and all these things can be accomplished by the simple expedient of requiring a newspaper publisher or other patron ot the mails to pay a just sum in bulk for whatever weight of newspapers he presents for carriage, just as he would have to to do at the express office. The only possible objection to this plan is the one raised by the local papers that papers carried from distant points pay the same aa papers distributed at the office where delivered. This objection could be much more easily remedied if our plan were adopted by having two grades only of regular newspapers, each to be paid in bulk by the pound: 1st grade, papers distributed at the office where mailed ( ) cents a pound ; 2d grade, papers to be distributed at any other office, ( ) a pound. The truth is, however, that there is very little force in this objection at best, for the reason that the postage is so low that it is worth the price charged for distributing any paper at the same office where it is mailed. If the publisher thinks otherwise it is always competent for him to distribute his own paper, without calling on the mails at all. The truth is, the department does almost the same work precisely on a paper distributed at the same office where it is mailed, that it does on a paper carried a thousand miles. It is forgotten by most of the disputants that the carrying is mostly done by the railroads, which are paid, not by the number of packages or pounds, but by tht mile, for their services. If there is any addition to the cost to the department, it is apt to be in the county where published, and where the addition of the newspaper packages to the little across-country mails doci make a difference in the bid of the mail carrier. The great Through Mails are all carried upon railroads paid by the mile- The Postoffice Department receives a newspaper mail and distributes it in New York or San Francisco, for delivery in Columbus; and it receives a newspaper mail and distributes it in Columbus, for delivery in Columbus, doing almost precisely the same work and no more, in either case. All the work be tween Columbus and San rrancuco or New York, is done by railroad companies, even to the payment of the driver of the mail wagon which carries the mail from the railway depot to the postoffice; and these railways are all paid by the mile, at a rate fixed within certain limits by law, with only a very general consideration of the number of pounds carried the num ber of cars employed being probably as minute a subdivision as would be worth considering.

REVOLUTION. Governor of Arkansas Ejected from his Office. An Armed Force in Possession of the ' State House. Pretended Governor Asserting- his Right to Execntive Functions Ap peal to the President for Hlllta Aid Introduction or Ihe Mexican Method into American Politic Little Rock, Ark,, April 15. Joseph Brooks, who claims to have been elected Governor in 1872, took the oath of office about 11 o clock to-dav before Chief Jus tice McClure, and within five minutes from that time took forcible possession of tne Uovernor s omce and ejected Governor itaxier oy lorce. About one year ago Brooks commenced suit in the Circuit Court of Pulaski county for the office of Governor. About the same time the Attorner General coin menced suit against Governor Baxter by quo warranto in the Supreme Court. That court rendered a decision that courts of the state had no power over a contested election for the office of Governor, and it was generally supposed that the matter was settled bo tar as tne courts were con cerned. The Legislature in 1873 opened the returns and declared that Baxter was elected.. Nothing more was thought of the mat ter, particularly, until a few days ago, when the attornevs of Governor Baxter desired that the case in the Circuit Court be taken up on demurrer, with a view ot disposing of the same. An understand ing was then had that the demurrer should be submitted and argued next week On Mondav. during the absence of the judges, and Messrs. English and C'omp- ton, attorneys tor Baxter, Mr. Whipple, attorney for Brooks, arose and stated that it had been agreed between himself and counsel of Governor Baxter that a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the court should be submitted. Ibis, although in tne absence ot Uovernor Baxter's attorneys, was thought nothing of at the time. Yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock. when there were but few in the court room and neither of the Governor's coun sel present, Judge Whylock announced his decision overruling the demurrer, and none of Governor Baxter's counsel being present to answer, issued a writ which was placed in the hands of the sheriff, and in five minutes from that time an armed band, headed by James Brooks, were in the Governor's of fice demanding possession, the Gov ernor declined, whereupon forcible pos session was taken, and guards placed at all entrances to the omce. In the meantime General Cottorsou, who claimed to act as Brooks's Adjutant General, broke in the door ot the armory in the same building and took possession of about one hundred stand of arms, Adjutant General Strong, of Governor Baxter, refusing to give up the keys, although surrounded by armed men. Governor Baxter refused to be ejected except bv force. Some of Brooks's men took hold of him und led him out. Since that time Brooks has had possession of the State House. Governor Baxter has established his headquarters at St. John's College, and it is reported that the State House will be taken possession of to-night. The greatest excitement prevails throughout the city. The following dispatch was sent by the Governor to the President : Little Rock, April 15, 1874. To the Prosidont of the United States : I have been advised by public rumor that in the State Circuit Court for this county, in a long pending case brought by Joseph Brooks tor the office of Governor of this State, a demurrer to the complaint was overruled and immediate judgment of ouster against me given. This was done in the absence of counsel for me and without notice, and imme diately thereafter tho Circuit Judge adjourned his .Court. The claimant has taken possession of the State buildings and ejected me by force, I propose to lake measures immediately to resume possession of the State property and to maintain my authority as rightful uovernor of the btate. Armed men, acting under tins revolutionary movement, are now in charge of the Government armory and Capitol buildings. 1 deem it my duty to communicate this state of affairs to the President. 1 trust the revolutionary acts may be settled without bloodshed, and respect fully ask the support of the general government in my efforts to maintain the rightful government ot the stale of Arkansas, and that the commander of the United States arsenal at this post be directed to sustain me in that direction. I respectfully request a reply to this com munication at an early moment. Elisha Baxter, Governor of Arkansas. XLIII CongressFirst Session. Washington, April 15. SENATE. Before reading of the Journal of yes terday was concluded the Clerk of the House of Representatives appeared at the bar of the Senate and announced that the House had passed, without amendment, the bill of the senate to fix the amount of United States notes and circulation of National banks, and for other purposes: also, that the House had passed a bill amendatory of acta to provide a National currency and to establish free banking. The latter bill was referred to the com mittee on Finance, House bill making appropriation for payment of teachers in public schools of the District ot Columbia auJ providing for levy of a tax to reimburse the same was taken up.

Mr. West said he had no knowledge of any such thing, but even if so, the charge came from the other side of this Chamber, and complaint of any election machinery came with rather a bad grace from that side. Mr. Bayard said if any meaning could be gathered from th remark of the Senator from Louisiana (West), it wa of an admission that inch repealing act had been passed and subsequently an act passed repealing the act, so they oan be produced from the pocket of this so-called Governor on the eve of an election, and machinery which make8 'n elections would be not only p0wi'ble, but highly probable, if KellogK should be permitted to occupy the ple he now does. Mr. West The Senator from Louisiana does not admit anything of the kind. Mr. Bayard No sir. he does not. He has not the candor to state a fact. He merely says he does not know as to facts. lie is professing to speak from special knowledgeof the truth of facts iu Louisi ana, and says here to-day in regard to this most important fact he has no knowledge wnaiever. Mr. West And he savs the truth. He haa no knowledge of it. He does not qualify it any way. He never heard of it. It is new to him. That 'is what 1 luean, without equivocation or reserva tion in any way. Mr. Bayird It is a confession of ig norance, sir, in regard to important facts, of which the gentleman professes to speax. , Mr. Hamilton resumed, but before con- eluding his argument the Senate went into executive session and soon after adjourned, HOUSE.
