ALLEGED MURDERoUs ATTEMPT.

On Friday last Daniel Carter, colored, at
tempted TO kill Rebecca Carter with whom he
had been living for several years, and up to
within few years ago. The parties are 80
and 2s years Of age respectively, ard for sew
eral yeats resided near Brightwood, but some
months since they engaged to work on the
farm of Mr.. G. Brashears, residing in Mont
gomery county, a mile or two over the line
1t is said that recently Carter became jealous
OF her, and she left him, leaving the vicinity
for time. Last week she returned, and meet
ing Carter, they talked together, and finding
that she was adverse to returning TO him he
proposed that they take friendly drink to-
gether and part in peace. To this she assenied,
and Carter produced what he represented 10
be some blackberry wine' in bottle, and
offering il to her she drank it. Immediately
she was seized with violent burning of the
throat and stomach, and Carter went of. 1t
was subsequently ascertained that the wine
was mixed with concentrated lye, doubtless
prepared for the purpose of taking her life. 1t
was feared at first that the woman was fatally
injured, but it is reported. that she is somewhat
better. Officers Fitield aud Raines arrested
Carter this afternoon.- Wash. Star, 4h.
Carter has since been apprehended and COM
mitted to the Rockville jail.

FRUIT PRospEcrs ON THE PoToMAc The edi-
tor of the Richmond State Journal, whose farm
is IN fairfax county, on the Potomac, writes
that the peaches are generally killed in that
region except in the orchards located along the
immediate bank of the river. All other fruit
is unframed. So far as present appearances
indicate the crop Of cherries apples, and pears
will be large. Some varieties of peaches are
killed totally, others show scattered setting,
while few are ihickly set. The experience
there, and elsewhere shows the great value Of
locations adjacent to water for peaches 1t has
been found by careful observation that the
peach will bear one year in three more near
the water than at distance. Eastern Vir-
GINA abounds in splendid sites for peach Or
chards, and thousands of fortunes are yet to
be made there growing these delicious fruits.

Active War in Arkansas.

REIGN OF ANARCHY AND BLooDsHED.
New YORK, May "A dispatch from Little
Rock says: Three of Baxter's troops werd
killed at New Gascony Capt. Van Desande
one of the leaders on the side of Brooks, wal
dangerously wounded. He had been a colonel
in the federal army. The Gazette remarks ed
i.orially that the war is opened, and will ex|
tend throughout the Stale, unless the Presi|
dent takes speedy action in the matter Sheriff
Vaughn was arrested yesterday by King
White, and imprisoned. The city is getting
to be rather unsafe, people being shot at every
night, with either shot-guns or pistols. King
Whites proclamation Of martial law in Jeffer-
son county is published.
A few days prior to this contest between
the two factions took place. General King
while commanding the Baxter forces at Pine
Bluff, attacked a party of Brooks men, and in
the fight nine of the Brooks party were killed
and twenty-seven wounded. The Baxter
troops had seven wounded.
LATER.
ST. LOUIS May ga special to the Demo
crdt from Little Rock says Judges Searle and
Bennett, Of the Supreme Court, were arres ed
last night on their arrival by the Memphis
train at Argenta, opposite Little Rock, by
Captain Williams, acting under orders from
Governor Baxter. The judges refused to b
arrested without proper authority, whereupor
Captain Williams made signal, and a band
OF armed men entered the car with cooked re-
volvers, and Searle and Bennett were forcibly
taken from the train, and up to the time the
dispatch was written had not been heard of in
Little Rock. The Supreme Court was to con-
vene in Little Rock to-day. Judge Stephen
son, also Of the Supreme Court, was on the
train, but it seems his presence was not known
else he too would have been arrested. The
affair created great excitement in Brooks
camp, and serious trouble is apprehended, un.
less Colonel Rose interferes for the release o.
the judges.
ESCAPE OF THE CAPTURED JUDGES.
CINCINNATI, May 6.-The Times has the fol.
lowing special despatch from Little Rock
Arkansas: Judges Searle and Bennett, who
were captured Sunday night last at Argenta,
made their escape from guard last night at Ben
ton, and arrived here early this morning. The
writer has seen and conversed with them"

Inthe matter Of the Sanborn contracts,
which has been undergoing investigation for
some time by committee appointed for the
purpose, the committee have made their report
in which the conduct Of some treasury officials
is condemned, and the lax administration Of
careless officers shown up. After the horse
and the money obtained from individuals
which ought TO have gone to the government,
cannot be returned. The truth is these con-
tracts ought never TO have been made, and the
condemnation pronounced will produce no
wound that greenback will not hide. The
recommendation that the contracts be annuled
is good and will prevent farther rascalites in
the Sauborn line. =

The ARKANSAS MuDDLE.-Now that four
Arkansas lawyers--two on each side for the
two Goyernors-havo gone to Washington to
lay the case before the President, things will
become more muddled than ever. One brace
contending that Baxter is the rightful Cover
nor and another brace contendng that Brooks
was elected. Outside of Arkansas no one
feels any interest in the quarrel. The President
has nothing 20 do with.it, and having scorch-
ed his fingers a little in the Louisiana matter,
it is not likely he will NEEDLE in the Arkansas
affair, unless the laws of the United States are
violated. 1t is a local squabble and belongs
to the local courts. As 10 who is the victor
Both are radicals, and both would like TO be
Governor, and like the Kilkenny cats may
fight each othei in similar manner aud with
similar result. Ii is a sad commentary, how
ever, on reconstruction, and shows the despe-
rate condition in which State may Re plung-
ed BY carpet-baggers aud scalawags, who, in
their greed for Office, have overrun the fairest
portion of the South aud left the trail of the
serpent wherever their feet have trod-creating
heart-burnings and jealousies among the peo-
pie, the better TO retain their ill-gotten power
Brooks, who is Reverend gentleman from
the North, was no doubt fairly elected, but
Baxter was counted in" by counting OUT
enough Of votes from Brooks poll TO defeat
him. As to the legality of this act, we know
nothing. Baxter however, made pretty good
governor, but by refusing to lend himself to
some nefarions schemes of those who aided in
bis election, has drawn down upon himself
their indignation. Hence the trouble. Like
the woman whose husband and the bear were
fighting, we don't care which whips. Weare
sorry though that the friends Of either party
should kin each other about it. Ifthey would
throw down their arms and 90 home and at
tsnd to their crops the matter would soon be
settled.

PUBLICATION OF THg LAws.-The publication
oil the laws enacted by the Legislature Of this
Stale at lis late session having been divided
between the two papers published in this
county, we deem ii necessary 10 make this
statement TO The public Oar rights have been
infringed upon, and by the lawmakers them
selves leaving us no redress, but TO await the
action of the next Legislature two years hence.
In order to give clear understanding of the
matter, we publish the following law govern
ing the case
SEC. /, Every public general law, which is
made 10 take effect before the first day OF
June next, after the session at which 1t may
be passed, shall, Immediately after its passage,
be published at the expense Of the state, daily,
for one week, in two daily newspapers Of the
city Of Baltimore, and one newspaper in each
county, having the largest circulation, if there
be newspaper published in said county.
A. A certified copy of every public general
law made to take effect as aforesaid, shall be
transmitted by mail, by the secretary of the
senate, (if the same originated in the senate,)
and by the chief clerk of house of delegates,
(if the same originated in the house OF dele
gates, to such two daily newspapers of the
city OF Baltimore, and one newspaper in each
county, having the largest circulation, (if
there be u newspaper published in said coun-
~, as the president of the senate and the
speaker Of the house of delegates may respec-
lively designate for publication, as provided
in the first section of this arlicle.-MaryLdnd
Code, Supplement ls6l-'67-pp 234-5.
No one need be told that this law has been
most palpably violated, and we do not feel dis
posed TO stand idly by and see our rights in
fringed upon without entering our protest
against such infringement, or without seeking
TO know how SO unjust discrimination was
made between the two newspapers in this place.
II was fact well known TO the Senator and
Delegates from this county, that the Sentinel
has circulation far in excess Of the Advocate,
and that having the largest circulation, by the
terms Of the law, it was the paper that ought
TO have been designated to do the whole work.
There was no authority for the division. II the
work is given out, as we are informed by the
President of the Senate is the custom, upon
consultation with the members from the differ
ent counties in which presses are located, then
blame attaches where we least expected 10 find
it. But we do not mean to submit, and shall
proceed to send out from this Office all the
laws, as Il no such division had been made,
relying upon the wisdom Of the next Legisla-
ture TO do justice in the premises.
