XII KLUx ARKANSAS.

The negroes in Chicot county, Arkan-
sas, are establishing little government
of their own. The colored and loyal
Judge refuses to be superseded by a
white and loyal carpet,bagger whom
the new Governor has appointed, and
the new Assessor Of Chicot county, who
is a colored and loyal carpet-bagger
from Cincinnati barber shop, has been
given TO understand that his head would
be shaved smack, smoove off If he
dared to show it in Chicot. The whole
fuss is created by negro Republicans
whom Governor CLAYTON deceived and
sold out, and, at last accounts, an in
surrection was threatened.
Here is a veritable case for the en-
forcement OF the Ku-Klux law A
combination or conspiracy has been
formed to resist the execution of the
laws, and violence has been threat
ened against the legal officers. Why
don't the Radical press clamor for the
blood of these negroes and why don't
the President call out the troops and
proclaim martial law in Arkansas II
a negro in South Carolina is kicked by
white man whose hen. or corn
crib he is detected in the act Of robbing,
nothing butthe most strenuous measures
against the unlucky white citizen, will
satisfy the demands of the loyal north

to q Ku-Klux outrage Of the deepest
enormity, aid the strong arm Of the

BUcHHEITs BAKERY BuRNED.-A fire broke
out Las: evening, at quarter to seven O'Clock, In
the bakehouse OF Mr.. J. q. Buchheis in the real
Of his premises, on East Bay, betw cen Tradd and
Elliott streets. The alarm was promptly given
from St. Mchaels steeple, and the engines ar
lived quickly upon the scene Of the fire. By
their eiorts the fire was confined TO the bake
house, where 1t originated, and was extinguished
In about half an hour. The fire was caused BY q
crack in the oven which was highly heaed. and
over which the men were drying cracklings.
Thess took nre suddenly and b azed up. The
bakchouse and oven were entirely destroyed.
They had been Put up With new machinery, and
fixtures when Mr.. Buchheit started the bakery
business, q few months back, after the IRE which
occurred In this Identical place In the spring.
The loss IL estimated at between eleven and
twelve hundred dollars, not dollar OF which was
insured. The work Of the directors Of the FIRE
companies was rendered particularly dangerous
By the insecure condition Of the back wall Of q
building on the adjoining premises, few yards
In front OF the bakehouse. The wall, wLi:h ives
originally but fourteen inches thick, has been
worn away at the base, by pi ing wood against It,
70 crust about four inches thick. This makes it
somewhat OF q desdfall, and has before been
noticed by the chief Of the department.
