Arkansas Great Curse.
UNDER WHICH KING ?"

Joseph Brook. Powell Clayton & Co +,
have proved for six long ycar., bligh.
Ing curse to the State Of Arkansas, and
it would seem from the bold and high
handed outrage inaueurated at Little
Rock on Tuesday last and now being en-.
acted, shows very plainly that they are
10th to let their power in the State slip
from. The dying agony OF these un-
scrupulous leaders is intense. 1t is a
struggle for political power and existence
in Arkansas. The quiet of the State un-
der the administration Of Gov Baxter
does not agree with these promoters Of
strife and discord. IL was the prediction
of wise ones, that the visit Of Clayton &
Co., at Little Rock a short time since,
boded no good to u large majority of
the people of the State. Finding they
could not use Governor Baxter in their
schemes Of villainy to deprive and stile
the voice Of Arkansas in the next elec-
tioe, this reasonable plot of anarchy and
bloodshed was inaugurated.
Usually, Clayton & Co have fern lent
ed discord and STRIFE in various Counties
Of the State, preceding elections, as a
pretext for disfranchsement and high
handed acts Of oppression of the people.
Gov Baxter they could not use for this
purpese-hence the fight on him
We have given all Of our available
space, to the exclusion Of other matter,
to the exciting news from the Capitol,
and have only room to urge prompt and
energetic action on the part Of Gov. Bax
ter. Let their be no dlly dallying no
cessation until the Capitol Of the State is
again occupied by one who has shown
himself to be true friend of the manor
born, and boldly declares for the redemp-
tion Of the State from the tyranny that
has so long. bound her hand and foot.
1t is enough for the masses of Demo
Gratis and Conservatives Of Crawford
County to know, that Powell Clayton is
the counselor and advisor Of Mr. Brooks,
to open their eyes to the grand scheme
that is prepared to cngulft hem, if sue
ccssful
Nine tenths of the people of Crawford
County, Of all parties, are with Gov, Bax-
ter in this fight.
Let us emulate then, the bold and just
stand, taken by the Governor and people
of Texas, in the recent trial they have
passed through, and Arkansas will be

tcrmined to put himself in possession of such

claimed to you. In this we fully indorsc

Gazette, Saturday 18th.
THE SITUATION.

Since yesterdays paper was issued, there
has been but little changein In the affairs which
are now engrossing the attention of every
body Brooks was engaged yesterday in for
tifying the State-l House. by erecting board
fence in front of the building. and in COM
missoning men to raise troops. His present
force does not number exceeding one hun
dred and fifty men.
Gov. Baxter's headquarters still remain at
the Anthony house. His force is constantly
augmenting, and by telegrans from all parts
OF the State, lie is assured of all the men he
desires.
While this preparation of the two contest
ants is going on the troops OF Uncle Sam are
occupy ing middle position, for the purpose
of preserving the peace.
The National government has given no in
timation as to what it will do beyond the fact
that bloodshed will be prevented, if possible
and that the General government knows Of no
Governor in Arkansas but Baxter.
The tramp of sentinels on our streets, and
the quietness which peryades everything is
new. We have all the appearance Of war
all but the rattle of musketry itself.
Altogether we take u cheerful aspect Of
matters, and do not see thar the result can be
otherwise than the putting down Of the
Brooks crowd, and the final redemption of the
State from the rule of bad men.
At a meeting of the Little Rock bar, held ut
the Office of A. If. Garland, Esq, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted and signed as
follows:
Resolred, That it is the deliberate sense Of
the members OF the Little Rock bar here sign
ing, that the late act OF the Circuit Court OF
Pulaski county, in rendering Il Judgment in
| the case OF Brooks vs. Baxter, at Il time when
! the cast was not set tor trial ut Il time when
| 1t was known and ioreseen that his counsel
! would be absent, and when it had been an
nounced that no business during the week
would be taken up unless by consent; iIyolv-
ing the exercise of jurisdiction in ease in
which the supreme toutt had twice in we'll
considered opinions, decided that the Circuit
Court had, under the constitution and laws
OF the State, no jurisdiction. is one of the
most extraordinary acts in judicial history
| that the judgment rendered therein is wholly
null ana void, for the want Of jurisdiction; is
not judicial act. but merely the private act
OF the individual exercising the functions oi
Judge. and of the attorney of the plaintiff
who was accessory to said proceedings, and
does not afford, in Il legal point of view. the
slightest preteXt or color for the rcvOlutiona
ry proceedings which have been ostensibly
based llpOu il
