Acts ol violence have t>eeii very few
indeed. Tt is alleged that this is
all because they are now under
Congressional investigation, and on i
then good behavior. The Com- |
inittee lielieve+bwuiByoMrf-tho peo- I
pie ou both sides arc incliaeil .to
peace and good government, and i
Ui allow all all the enjoymeuts ot
their legal rights. Hut there is a
class of meu, the outgrowth of the
former state of society, who delight
iu disturbing and depriving the col
oiid people and Northern people of
their rights. These are young men
who cannot be restrained. This
class of men. together with the gen-eral
custom of carrying deadly
weapons (another legacy ot bar-barism),
are the real causes of vio-lence
and bloodshed. The changes
caused by war, giving freedom and
political equality to the colored peo-ple,
are not well relished by the
Southern people; but most of them
would do nothing to disturb them.
But the class to which we have
alluded feel that they may invade
the rights of colored men, especially
in any political quarrel, and that
their offenses will be winked at.—
We are satisfied that the true pros-perity
of these Southern States de-pends
more on just and stern deal-ing
by them with this lawless class
of men than any other cause. As
to the future peace and quiet of the
Slate, ihe enforcement of the laws
and protection of lite and property.
Arkansas, probably, presents no
different condition Irom that of the
other cotton States, whose political

ol the class who ruled betore'the
war.

that the Na'ional Government shall

Constiro I ion has not saspetnled that

caniint find any solid ground mi
which to stand to say the General
Government can or ought to inter
fere ; and no amount of irregularity
in the processes by « hich this state
of things was brought about
furnishes just reason for doing so
Ihe Committee believe that upon
principles now well established all
I hese delects and irregularities in
the proceedings must be regarded
as cured by the verdict of the peo
pie. The election held foi- its rati-fication
was under the torm of law

acted under appointment and under
official oaths j and although we rc-
Kiird all as defective, however pte

recommend any action by Congress
or by any department of the Gen-eral
Government in Arkansas.
The report is signed by Messrs.
Poland, Scudder, Sayler and Sloes.
The other member of the Com-mittee,
Mi'. Ward of Illinois, pre-sents
his views in opposition to the
report, and concludes by proposiug
the following resolution :
That dames Brooks having been
