changes came upon Little Rock like a
clap OF thunder oui OF q clear sky It
beat the money panic which was inst

The sudden charge liz the aspect Of
affairs was the result of the dismissal
of the application for a writ of quo
warranto against the Governor by the
Supreme Court which holds that no
court, in any form or action, can Ge-
termine n contest for any office Of the
Executive Department. Coupled with
this was letter from the Attorney
General of the United States, who, in
the name of the President, suggested
that if Governor Baxter should need
force to sustain the decision of the
Supreme Court of the State, it had
better be furnished by the federal gov
eminent, rathar than by the local au-
thorities. The announcement of these
things settled the fate of the Brooks

Jay Cooke 4 Co.'S Plan IS SettIe,nent

Jay Cooke d Co.'S Plan o. settlement
The main features of Jay Cooke &
Cos plan of settlement, rs completed,
are as follows:
The members of the firm surrender
all their partnership and personal pro-
perty. Mr. i. A. Rollins, late United
States Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, will have the management of the
estate, as trustee, thus saving costs
and expenses. Dividends will be made
whenever the trustee has cash in hand
sufficient to be divided, beginning
very soon after the agreement is APP
proved by the creditors.
The creditors surrender no rights
they now possess, but merely accept
the advantages of the trust created for
their benefit, and the debtors can gain
nothing except the surplus which
they hope to secure by an economical
and judicious winding up of their es-
tate. Full powers are given to the
trustee, but he is tC. act under the
control of committee representing
the creditors, consisting of S. NJ. Eel
ton, late President of tie Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad;
William G.. Houston ard Dell Noblit,
Jr., President of the Corn Exchange
Bank of Philadelphia.
Negotiable certificates of the interest
of any cred: tor in the INST estate will
be given by the trustee. After, all the
debts are paid in full, the remaining
property will be reassigned. 1t is I'M
derstood that the firm do not propose
to call n general meeting of their
creditors, as they have been doing
business ia three different cities, and
creditors are so scattered as to render
such a meeting impracticable. They
have, however, addressed a letter to
each creditor, SO far as known, sub
hitting their proposition. Any credi-
tor failing to receive such notice, can
examine the papers at the Office of the
firm, ill Philadelphia, New York, or
Washington.

CHEEK 2

Our Northern brethren have some
reputation for the quality that in the
expressive slang of the day is called
"cheek," and we think they ere fairly
entitled to it; but even If they not de-
served it in times past, or if some
panic had caused g suspension in the
&c cheek business, the following. from
the New York Erening Post would be
amply sufficient to establish the fact
OF their present solvency.
The Post thinking that within the
next sixty days the banks will be over
stocked with currency, and strong and
abundant in all their resources, says
In view of this prospect, it is most
important
First-That prices should not rise
too rapidly, SO as to cause reaction
and delay.
Second-Tbat the movement of
greenbacks to New York should be
purposely fastened, because what gives
strength here gives confidence every
where.
IL there was ever a more perfect
specimen of assurance than this, it has
escaped our attention. 1t will be re-
| freshing to the cotton planters Of the
| South, and the grain growers of the
West, to learn that sit is most impor-
tant that prices should not rise too rap
idly" They have worked hard all the
Summer, and now when they are just
about to reap the fruits of their labors,
and just as they are beginning to rally
from disastrous panic they are told
that prices must pot "rise too rapidly.
Nor is this all. They are told further,
that the movement of greenbacks to
New York must be purposely hastened.
If the science of trade be to buy
| cheap and TO sell high the schedule OF
the Post is well devised.
But this is nothing new with the New
York Post, for it will be remembered
what q cry of distress it uttered when
there was a corner in cotton some
months ago and manufacturers were
forced to pay round price for the
raw material.
The manufacturers are again in
market, or soon will be, and straight.
way we have the cry that prices must
not rise too rapidly. AS with cotton
so it is with grain. It is a known fact
that England must buy grain, and that
the Northwest has it to sell, and ac'
cordingly just at the time that English
gold is about to be exchanged fol
Western wheat, the Western farmers
are told that it is most important that
prices should rise too rapidly.
New York would, indeed, have 6

TRIAL OF MARSHAL EAZAsNE.

VERSAILLES, Oct. 6.-The trial of
Marshal Bazine by court-martial opened
at noon to-day in the palace of the
Trianon. The Duke d'Aumale presi
ded. Among the witnesses present
were Marshals Canrobert and LeBeuff
and Generals Nrossard, Bourbahi aud
Changarnier.
When the formalities attending the
opening of the court had been COM
pleted, brief recess was taken; after
which, By order of the President, a
statement of the public services of
Marshal Bazaine was read. It comprised
a history of his military career from
the beginning, and recounted the dis
tinctions which had been conferred
upon him and the wounds he had re-
ceived. The report of the committee
of enquiry on the capitulation of Metz
| was next presented and read. This
| was followed by the reading of the in
dictment. to which the Marshal listened
attentively, but without emotion.
NJ. Riviere then submitted his re-
| port. It reviews the plans of campaign
proposed by the defendant, and gives
a sketch of the battle of Frobach, i'll
which great stress is laid on Bazaine' S
| responsibility for the result, because
he neglected to go to Gen. Trossards
assistance. In regard to Bazaine' s
conduct at Metz, III. Riviere takes the
ground that the Marshal was at no
time really DESTROYS of leaving the
place. After hearing Riviere's report,
the court adjourned until to morrow.
The court-martial sits in the audience
chamber of the Grand Trianon, at Yer
sailles. The scene at the opening was
remarkable. Nearly all the witnesses
who had been summoned We're present
and the courtroom was filed with the
most distinguished men of France
Besides those previously reported. M
Favre and Regnire were present. The
calling of their names as witnesse:
caused a sensation. Bazaine appeared
in the full uniform of marshal O.
France, with the ribbon and grand
cross of the Legion of Honor on hi:
breast. He took his seat in an arm
chair by the side of his counsel, ani
was courteously addressed by thu
President of the Court as "Monsieu
lie Marechal."
Throughout the proceedings the de
fence was conducted by M. A. Lach
ard, the eminent advocate, and Col
Vilette.
The attendance of spectators wa
not large, and the space reserved wa
at the time completely occupied.
1t is expected that the next t. IL day
will be devoted to reading the paper
connected with the indictment. Gam
beta, Schneider, Rouher and Genera
LAdmirault were also present as wit
nesses.

It will be seen that the drift Of tht

The border States are gradually losing
the :'colored element;" but for severa
patent reasons this was to have been
expected: White labor always ha
that effect where it completes on evel
terms with that of the blacks. In III,
border States white labor can, an,
does, secure those terms here, tn
black man has u vast advantage. -
Hence the drift, of which mention ha
been already made.
But the most singular feature Of thi
exhibit is the fact that it shows tin
per centage of increase in the Negro
population to be smallest in thos

cal strength, the negroes are all-l,ower

| The following history is given of
how Joseph Arch, the agricultural
labor reformcr, first attracted attention
il Englard
A couple of laborers Knocked at

mons, and saw two sturdy bread
winners from Il neighboring village
whoam p "What's wantin', lads q"
"Why, We want to talk to i'm about
formin' q union. Other trades ave a
union. an we doant see why we
shouldn't ave one; it's time we did

you amt got spirit enough, my lads,
for no such thing" YES we ave. if
Joe will only lead u.s." And it came
them, and before the men left his
them to address gath ring of labor
ers ut Wellesborne the following week.
The intelligence that Arch would
have something important to say to
the poor folk spread rapidly. It was
the tall, of the cottagers for miles
around. "Whoy, lad, thee as card as
Joe Arch is goin' to preach to us -?
''Noa, be he q? Dang it, Joe knows a
good bit, an 'e's not stuck up wi is

Arch expected to talk to small gath
ering in little room in the village inn.
To his establishment he found upon
reaching Wellesborne an outdoor
gathering of some fifteen hundred la
borers with a sprinkling of farmers
and squires. A pig-killing board was
brought out. Joe mounted it and be-
gan his speech. An enemy was sent
down to the gas-works and the lamps
on the street were extinguished. The
laborers procured candles and the
meeting continued. The address made
by Arch on that occasion was magical
in it's effect. The union which he adj
vocated that night now number 100, 900
men.

The Washington Express says In
| this county cotton has been damaged

cessive rains in August, and by the
| catapiller since September set in.
Most all of the large farmers are com
planning of the caterpillar; some plan
tations have been literally swept, not

worm has never been known to be so
general and destructive as the present
season,
The Newbern Times says: Reports
are received almost every day from
the lower part of Craven county of the
ravases of the boil worm. The worms
completely strip the stalk and by
eating around the stem of the boil,
c,use = to drop off. Cotton has been
backward in that section. We learn
also, from Pamlico county, that the
cotton worms have injured the grow
ing cotton in that section materially.
The crop, however. promises an
abundant harvest.
The Raleigh Sentinel says: We
saw on yesterday q letter dated Salt

Judge Boyden's family, wherein it was
stated that the Judge had been at that
place two weeks dangerously ill. It
was stated, however, that he was then

robbed of everything they had on their
