THE ARKANSAS TROUBLES.

The latest information furnished by
telegraph in regard to the Guberna-
torial imbroglio in Arkansas is to the
effect that "the Attorney General had
presented to the President a written
opinion in the Arkansas Gubernatorial
dispute, in which he finds that Baxter
is, according to the organic and statu-
tory laws of Arkansas, the legal Gov
ernOr, and that Brooks has no claim
to the Office. The President has issued
proclamation, which has been tele-
graphed to Little Rock for the infor-
nation of all concerned. The proc..a-
nation sets forth that certain disor-
derly and turbulent persons have com
bined together to resist with force of
arms the authority of Baxter as Gov
ernor OF Arkansas; that Baxter has
been declared duly elected by the
Legislature, the onlycompetent tribu-
nal; that he has, in accordance with
the Constitution of the United States,
called on the President to protect the
State from domestic violence; that
both Houses of the General Assembly
convened by Baxter have also made a
similar request Of the President, and
the President being authorized by the
Constitution and laws of the United
States to render the assistance asked
in such cases and command the dis.
persion Of such insurgents, the Presi-
dent, therefore, now issues his procla-
nation commanding all turbulent and
disorderly persons to disperse and re-
tire to their respective homes within
ten day., and to hereafter submit them.

Executive and other Constitutional au.

hoped that this will end serious in.
ternal disturbance in the domestic
concerns of one of the States of the
Union, which has engendered serious
animosities and has already resulted
in considerable bloodshed.

THERE is a controversy going on be
tween the Helena and Virginia papers
in regard to the action of Surveyor
General Smith III removing several
mineral deputy surveyors. The sVir-
ginia papers accuse the General Of un-
duly favoring Helena, but from the
testimony Of everybody acquainted
with General Smith we are led to think
that he is acting from no other motive
than that of the best Of the service.
Whether deputy is competent or not
is difficult to decide by anybody but
an expert in the profession, and the
records of the Surveyor Generals
office certainly give better basis to
form an opinion than the Virginia
papers can possibly have.
We wish, however, to call the atten
ton of General Smith to another mat
ter, of which we think non-experts able
to form an independent opinion; that is
the necessity for the survey Of the up
per Yellowstone valley. We know OF
no other unsurvcyed portion Of Mon
tana containing SO many settlements
and being SO rapidly filled up. The
constant discoveries Of mines on the
tributaries of the Yellowstone and the
rapid Development Of the old mines in
Emigrant and Bear gulches, as well as
the constantly increasing travel to the
Yellowstone Park, will give great
impetus to the settlement of that val
ley this season. 1t is quite extensive,
twenty or thirty miles long by three
to eight miles wide, forming with the
low foothills splendid body Of agri.
cultural and grazing land, capable Of
sustaining a large population. We
understand that petition is being
circulated on the Yellowstone now, ask
ing for the survey of the valley, and
we hope the Surveyor General will
grant the petition during the present
season, as it will relieve the old as well
as the prospective settlers of much
trouble and uncertainty, caused by
their inability to tell the actual bound
aries of their claims.
If General Smith can find competent
surveyors in this section Of the Terri
tory and can, consistent with the good
of the service, select one Of them to
perform the survey spoken Of, he will
show by this act that the insinuations
of the Virginia papers are without
foundation, and please our people, who
would prefer the work done by man
whom they know and in whom they
have confidence than by q stranger, q
whose capabilities and trustworthiness
they know nothing.
