Tbe following special from Little Rock
appeared in this morning's Avalanche :
A bill pasted tbe Senate to-day to give
tbe Governor authority to fill all vacan
cies iu offices now made elective by the
people. Quite a number of vacauciet
occurred in the last three or four months,
and the orject is to prevent the Conserva
tive from electing any one, as it is feared
if an election was ordered lome scslla
wag or carpet-bagger would be left with
out support. A bill was introduced in
tbe Senate requiring not only all legal
adverlisiug of .State and cocnty officials,
guardian?, administrators, etc-, to be pub
lished ia official papers, designated by
the Gcernnr, but making it tbe duty of
such to have x'.l posters, blanks, etc.,
prieted by tbe Radical organs. This will
req lire some to send over one hundred
miles to have a half dozen posters printed,
or other small matters of tht character,
although there may be a local paper pub
lished at their residence. Brig. General
Mai lory, of the militia, who it also a
Senator from Jeff-rsoo, and editor of the

Miss Anna .Dickinson last evening d
livered a lecture entitled " Fair Play
ia the large hall of the Cooper Institute.
There was a large audience, the greater
portion being ladies. The fair lecturer,
who was very tastefully attired in a black
silk dress, with black velvet surtout, was
quit warmly received by the audience.
She opened the lecture by Quoting tbe
saying of Nelson, that the best way to
overcome an enemy was to go es near to
him as possible, and then fight him to
the death. Tbe United States, sne said,
had at present an - enemy to coaten
against which was by far more formid
able than the French bad ever been to
the great English admiral, an enemy
which fights nower with cunning and
argument with prejndies. Tbe name of
this enemy was caste. It was near enough
to everybody to allow all its enormities
to oe exnesea to view sua luepeciion :
and if it were permitted to have its own
way, and were not fought down and
trampled in the dust, it would prove the
ruin of the republic. Slavery, it was
troe. had been destroyed ; but tbe spirit
of despotism and prejudice, engendered
br it when in its lull lite, was yet living
and striving to overcome liberty and jus
tice. In America tbe lion ot Southern
slavery had been slain, but if people
bad not a care tbe liberties to wnion toe
death of the lion gave birth would be
certain lobe devoured by the wolf of da-
tional prejudice. Few people could, like
the celebrated bird spoken of in story
always soar high np in tbe clear regions
of justice, above toe petty narrow mind'
ednesi of human nature, and as a con
sequence, with the great lessoBS of the
war still staring everybody in the face,
the contempt for the man with a black
skin still prevailed. And why should
this be so ia a free country T In a laud
calling itself Democratic one-eighth of
tbe Deoole were ostraoised because of a
physical peculiarity 7 under tbe cir
cumstance how could the liberties of the
country be considered secure, for what
was destined to be one day its strongest
foundation was now despised and disre
garded T Lawt never work ont tbe det
tiny of a people, but the spirit of a gov
ernment was always its surest safe
guard. When tbe liberty of one man for
any cause whatever could be restrained at
the mere pleasure of another, everybody
stood in jeopardy. It waa necessary to
iunocnlate peison into the whole system
to produce death, for tbe point of a needle
dipped in the virus would do all the work.
Yet the American theory was that neither
birth, talent, profession nor difference of
social rjosition should exempt any man
from equal justice, and the black man
was refused the ballot in the loyal North
imnlr because it was a Question with
some great and reverend authoritiet just
now whether the extension cf the fran
chise to the blacks could be considered
oolitic. Was not such action on the
part of men who call themselves Repub
licans poison to republicanism T While
sneaking on tbe subject Miss Dickinson
said that she would call the attention of
the audience to the fact that she had been
assailed by an obscure weekly paper for
er Tiews regarding marriage between
whites and blacks. Ske was not an eth
nologist, nor did she want to wait nntu
learned ethnologists should determine
whether or not Frederick Douglass, for
instance, was a sponge, an ape or a man,
ut what she did protest against was that
there should be laws which prohibited a
white man from marrying a black
woman or a black woman from marrying
white man. If the two persons were
attraoted to each other by nature the
lawt that forbade their b,andj at the altar
waa an outrage, at waa the publio senti
ment which condemned tbe maa and
mobbed the woman. The prejudices
hich fostered this sentiment were the
same which gave rite to the riott of 1863
and all the ignorant abhorrence of men
itb black skint, tbe question as to
hetber or not the. negro was a man or
beast was no more a mooted one.
Black men as well as white in the days
of Christ bad bowed tbsir knees and
gathered about tbe cross, and no one said
then that they were not as free' to wor
ship God as any other ha man beings.
At any rate, they received the same
commandments given to all; the same
judgment day of tbe white man would be
inai Ql IPS umve uuuut uu ,ua onuio eier
ty availed all. without rozard to color.
Then taking np' the thread' of ber die-
it as to giving tbe ballot to the black
Miss Dickinson contended that
Congress should pass a law declaring
suffrage universal throughout tbe land
women not to be excepted in the general
form. Nor should this suffrage be given
eiobauue for uuie-ereal aunesty, for
tbe idea of making it a thing of value and
tale was altogether too repugnant to every
loyal heart to be thought of for a moment,
Tbe nation during the war had been ab'e
to read the character of a black man as
that of a brother, by the (Ires of the
camp, Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, Peters
burg, aod the flames of death on many
ttienems, JiH nangs nad florne ipe
same arms, black men bad died in tbe
eviliv uituu witu VuiiS uinu, atttu Hii ut-
tle sod bad been drenched with the blood
of both, and tbe wrongs of the one and
the blood of the other had been buried
together. The lecturer then, after argu
ing that if Congress had no right to over
ride fetu? CoPltitgtjQPI tp lav; st, tq
civil rights, It certainly bad the right to
override them at to politictl rights, con
cluded by asserting that the change
made by universal suffrage in the system
poiit ja wocld add to the glory, prosperity
and ttrecgib'qt tb, oafiqu.

" Rebels" In the Cabinet.
Tbe Milwaukee Wisconsin proposes
General Robert E. Lee for a position in
Grant's Cabinet The following is a
part of the article favoring his appoint
ment: "As to the Southern representatives
in tbe Cabinet, who should they be?
We know that in what ws utter we shall
differ widely with most men in the North,
but we have long held to tbe opinion
that Grant, the soldier, Grant, the mag
nanimous, Grant, elect of tbe people,
could properly and nobly tender one of
his Cabinet appointments to Robert E.
Lee, by all odds the first and noblest
man in the ltebel Confederacy. It
would do vastly much to heal tbe sore
differences between the North and South;
it would make our lately alienated South
ern brethren feel that they had a near
place in our hearts and our homes, that
we are now one nation, that our glory is
their glory, and that they have a large
share in the suceess of the administra
tion of our great President."
That's the talk the magnanimity that
ihould be ehowa, and if followed np
would indeed "heal the tore difference
between the North and the South." No
better appointment eould be made for
the War Department; and there it no
mas in the North that bean a better
character than Geo. Lee. He it a Chri
tian and a statesman, and the only
"offense he hat committed is in draw
ing his sword in defense of constitutional
liberty. He knows that that mode has
failed to accomplish tbe result, and be
now submits and awaits a more peace
able war to effect that greatest of all
blessings to the American people.
