Warranto !

just as we expected the Supreme Court re-
FUSED the awful writ Of quo 'rdrldnto to th,
relator. Mr.. Brooks. We have uniformaliy
held in our humble way, that the SUI rem'
Court had no power under our Constitution
to issue It, but We, of course, would not have
been st al! surprised il they had transgresset
the plain letter Of the law and had Issued tht
writ. One thing however. we could not hell
thinking all the time, that the members ofthC
Supreme Court are NEST of them politicians
We could not help thinking Of the prospect
of some OF the members OF that Court going
to see Tankerseys' old haunt, IL they had put
brooks in Brooks had pledged himself to see
that they should, with many others, 20 to
that beautiful retreat, ifhe should be permit
ted to assume the gubernatorial robes We
think when Brooks made these pledges, he
felt in his heart that he would fulfill them.
In view Of all this, we have never yet feared
that the Supreme Court would give him the
power to carry his threats into execution.
Further, If Baxter had been unseated, then
the others who went in on his ticket would
have been in danger, For Baxter was ahead
of the ticket, and IL he could not stick. then
how could Yonlcy, Scarlc, Stephenson and
Wheeler, and all the rest Of the gang2 OF
course, these would have not been concluded
by the case Of Brooks rs, Barter, not being
parties 10 the record, but We well know that
suit is now pending between Mr.. Berry and
Mr.. Wheeler for the Office Of State Auditor,
and we can't well conclude that any other
course would have been taken by DuVal and
the other candidates on the Reform ticket.
While we look npon the Inauguration of Mr..
Baxter as heng an act that placed minority
candidate in office and for which we are in
nowise responsible. yet we must say We are
glad the Supreme Court did refuse to issue
the writ. We want peace and quiet in eur
State, and an issuance Of the writ could not
IL any fairness had been practiced have re-
suited in anything else than an order ou3ting
Baxter. Baxter says he would not have
obeyed the writ and we would have been com
PEELED finally to resort to Federal power to
decide between tho dual governments. five
had done so, then we are sure we would have
had Baxter any how, because the radical in
terests of Mr. Grant and others in Arkansas.
would not have permitted The recognition of
Brooks AS Governor Of tai, State. In the
meantime the continued troubles in our State
would have been calculated to keep our Sc
curities at the lowest ebb, and no one but
spectators could possibly have been benefit
ed We cannot be 50 un.ophisticated as to
suppose. for moment, that the Federal ad-
ministration would have decided in favor of
the popular voice. SO, we now think We win
have peace, and Baxter having fairly rid
himself of Mcclure and his outfit, can 60 on
and make peoples GorerR0r ir he chooses to
do so. In all his efforts 10 DO so, we are with
him. Ifhc does the people a wrong he is not
our man, and we will feel at perfect liberty
to critleise him as severely as we think proper

The Dardanelle Springs,

The Dardan,lle Lsborcr has thi, to say o.
the Springs and its owncr:
We see Maj, W. P. DcncNa is In town, just
from the springs. He has spent seNerAi gay
there He contemplatcs fitting tEcna up u
first class style, in time to accommodate all
persons who may wish to visit the springs
during the watering season. lie will furnish
the lletel with new aud magnificent furniture
OF modern manufacture, and put man in
charge of it who understands his business.
We may expect that our springs viii rank
among the first class watering places of the
land as the Major is a man OF enterprise and
always puts things through with avim: lie
Ia an old Arkansian, well known in all parts
of the State.
The qualities OF the springs are too well
known to need commendation as they have
been tested, by many persons for the last
thirty yiiye years. and the first fault is to be
found yet. Success, we say, to Maj. Denckla
and his enterprise. Parties wishing to visit
these springs, will always find ready convey
ance from Dardanellc. Persons leaving Lit
tie Rock In the morning can arrive at the
springs at an early hour the night of the
