Washington Notes on Arkansas Affairs and Revenue Bill

The Arkansas issue centers on Garland’s disputed governorship and the President’s stance, with Brooks supporters urging Congress action to avert revolutionary shifts in Southern states. Information on the Louisiana Returning Board and Fort Sugg case are also summarized, including potential censure and committee reports.
