The Veto.

The announcement of the veto Of
the finance bill. as it passed Con-
gress, by the President, seems to
have taken all parties by surprise.
The feeling in this locality is so
nearly unanimous in condemnation
of the veto that it is not worth while
counting the other side.
Whether the Finance Legislation
was wise or otherwise, time will tell,
but it would be very difficult just
now to convince the people that it
was not wise, just and precisely what
they most needed. That something
is seriously wrong with the finances
of the Country, every body knows;
that the Finance Bill was the rem
edy; almost everybody believed.
That the Money Ring would make
every possible effort to defeat it, no
man doubted, because it was a
measure in the interest of the peo-
pie, and their interest is not the in
terest of the Money Ring. But
many believed the President would
stand by the people, and let the
Ring roar. They were disappointed.
The veto showed the President
faithful to the Ring and false to the
people.
General depression has followed,
and possibly disaster will follow this.
Congress being yet in Session, may
devise another remedy for the evil;
of the hour, which vetoes cannot
reach, and it is to be hoped will.
Try again.

Anarchy in Arkansas.

1t makes very little difference to
the people of the Union whether
Brooks or Baxter is Governor of Ar
kansas, as it is likely neither of them
belongs to a reputable class of poll
ticians. Brooks appears to have ac-
complished his purpose of getting
possession of the Executive Office by
a coup Petat, rather bold and original
in it's character. At the election in
1872, the two men were competing
candidates for Governor, and Bax-
ter got the prize in the regular way,
although there was talk then of a
revolutionary attempt to dispossess
him. Brooks effort to contest in
the Legislature failed. He then
appealed to the Supreme Court for
a writ of quo warranto against Bax-
ter, but in this he was also defeated.
His next move was a suit in one OF
the Circuit Courts of the State, very
likely before a complaisant Judge,
for the recovery from Baxter of the
office and salary of Governor. Bax-
ter, we believe, demurred to the
Jurisdiction, the demurrer was over
ruled and Immediately judgment Of
custer given in the absence of Bax
ters counsel, the Court promptly
adjourning so as to allow no chance
to appeal to the Supreme Court
On this, Brooks took possession o.
the State House and State Arsenal
and Baxter set up his official shoI
in one of the public buildings II
Little Rock. Both Governors
have appealed to the President tc
take sides. This he has refused tt
do further than to maintain peace
The foregoing, which we copy
from the Pittsburgh Telegraph
gives the reader a fair idea of th'
cause which led to the trouble il
Arkansas, and the news from tha
State which we print in anothe
part of the PRESS, shows how tn
difficulty is progressing.

The License question came up for
consideration in the Constitutional
Convention on Monday last, From
the remarks which it elected, it is
evident that a majority of that body
is in favor of vesting the Legis-
lature with authority to provide for
the granting of license for the sale
of liquors, and the regulation of the
traffic therein, and it is highly prob
able that a measure to this effect
will receive the sanction of the Con-
vehtion, and be presented to the
people for adoption or rejection.

The dangef of any further fighting at
Little Rock, at least for the present, is
apparently passed. Governor BAXTER
proposes to call the Legislature together
to consider the matter, and the President,
to whom he submitted his course, ap-
proves it. Pending the meeting of the
Legislature the Baxter militia will pro-
badly maintain an armed inactivity, and
the offensive will have to be assumed by
Brooks and his body guard in the State
House, if any aggressive action is taken.
Brooks has nothing to hope for form the
Legislature. 1t has twice decided against
his pretensions, and if he could not be
satisfied with its action hitherto, it is not
likely he will abide by its decision here
after. The main thing now, however, is
to gain time for the passions of men to
cool, and allow of deliberation and dis
o1Iesion

THE FIGHT IN THE STREET.
The dispatch then gives the following
account of the street affair tonight:
Baxter and A. K White, having just
finished addressing the accumulated mob
of excited insurgents from the balcony
of the Anthony House with the usual
incendiarv harangues, Colonel Rose sur
veying the outlook, mounted on white
horse. Without any previous warning
several shots we're fred at Colonel Rose
from among the insurgents. A company
of negroes stationed at the City Hall in
the next block, at once dashed out, drag
ged hook and ladder carriage, removed
the wheels, and in an instant, as it were,
had formed a barricade. Some forty or
fifty shots were fired from the insurgents,
and several innocent and inoffensive
people were shot and Immediately re-
moved
How many were killed / am at this
moment unable TO learn. d. F. Shell, a
prominent citizen and an insurgent SYM
pathizer, was killed. Daniel O'Sullivan,
a newspaper man, was shot, and some six
or seven others. Upon the firing of the
first shot the lookers-on broke in terror
from the scene, those upon awnings and
window seats retreating pell-mell to the

lied upon the Metropolitan, and. the
streets were emptied within space OF
three minutes. The insurgents broke
and ran in the greatest disorder for then
several quarters, and although the drum
was beat to quarters, not q man respond
ed. In ten minutes not 4 man was to be
/ seen upon the streets but the United
| States troops and a few stragglers. The
/ forces at the State House rushed to their
several defensive positions, but did not

WAsHINGToN, April 21.-The Arkan-
sas Congressional delegation, together
with the three contestants for seats in the
House, representing all parties, had ar
interview with the President, to-day in
the presence of the Cabinet, relative tc
affairs in Arkansas. They urged the
President to maintain the position he
now occupies, to take all proper meas
ures to prevent collision and bloodshed
and let the matter in controversy be set
tied by the Courts.
These gentlemen received a patien
hearing, and were assured that every
thing compatible with law and the deli
cacy of the affair would be done in tn,
direction of peace.
They retired much gratifed with tn
interview. One of the gentlemen stateC
that the Secretary of War had received
a dispatch from Arkansas that ther
were indications that some arrangemen
would be made by the contesting parties
to end the hostile demonstrations.

Baxter has been using the telegraph
freely in hope of influencing the author
ties at Washington to recognize his bel
ligerent policy and dignity his course
with the slightest need of liberation, but
without avail. The people here are
fully cognizant of the fact that the Su-
preme Court at its May term determin-
ed purely a technical question of law,
and did not act upon the merits of the
case, we'll knowing that the matter has
been upon the docket and before the
Circuit Court for judicial determination.
The whole proceedings have been legal
and without the shadow of flaw or an
irregularity, and the Baxter insurrec-
tion is as barren of principle and right
as would have been Brooks action had
he taken military possession of the State
House while candidate for the Execu-
tive chair. The lawless measures adop-
ted by the insurgents are being condemn
ed in the severest terms by their best
friends. Stores had been forcibly enter
ed and arms seized without the color of
authority or payment. Business is al
most entirely suspended, and many have
closed their stores and put up their shut
ters. The people are beginning to feel
the effects of the so-called martial law
proclamation of Baxter, and regret that
the protection of the Federal troops has
not been extended to non-combatants
and their business pursuits, and question
a peace policy which has permitted the
recruiting and marshaling of two OPP
posing armies within a stones throw OF
