Garland and the Senate.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., December 6.—A special from Little Rock, referring to the senatorial question in Arkansas, says a letter recently written by Mr. Garland to a friend in Little Rock, contains the following paragraph: "I am at present trying to serve the whole country as an impartial adjunct to the Cabinet, and the question of whether or not I will be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate two years hence is so far in the future that I have not even thought of the subject. However, I feel safe in saying that my official services will cease for awhile at the end of my term as Attorney General, because I long for the rest and quiet I at least merit at the hands of the good people of Arkansas who have honored me by political preferment."
