bush, an intelligent mulattO, called up
the bill creating the county of Coolidge,
and, upon being informed that 1t was
unengrossed and not in a condition to be
placed upon its final passage, said that
certain parties were determined, by
desperate lodges, to kill the bill; and
hurled anathemas upon thehOuse, called
it a mob, and swore promiscuOusly. Mr.
Millen moved that he be brought to the
bar of the house and censured; where
upon Mr.. Furbush proceeded TO the bal
with his hat and overcOat on, denounc-
ing the efforts Of certain men to defeat
the bill in unmeasured terms, and said
if they did not expel him he would re-
sign; that he would be disgraeed nc
longer by being a member Of the legis'
lature. Adjourned pending action. The
house viii take action tomorrow
Governor Baxter is quite sick with the
mumps. His physician prOnounces his
case not dangerous. It would be a ter
rible blow to Arkansas if the governor
were to die at this critical juneture.

spec ial to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, March 26.-The Ga
-ette is fearfully stirred up about tn
APPEALS interest in Arkansas affair;
and ignores the fact of your very larg
circulation, more than it has in theStst
it misrepresents. 1t beats about in val
and frantic efforts, first to control an
direct your correspondents, and even {
direct your columns to its purposes; bu
falling in this, it has recourse to sneak
ing inuendo touching your course on tn
railroad bond question, which meet
with the Endorsement Of every tax-pay
or who has given it a study. Th
Gazette tries to. frighten Legislators b
threats, but it will fail in this, as it hs
in everything else. 1t is never right
but always wrong, and is now NOR
than ever 50. Your superior circulatio
and greater influence in Little Rock
what calls out its venom 1t is beneat
your contempt.
