Brooks and Baxter.


THE WHOLE STORY TOLD IN VERY FEW WORDS.
In the investigation into the condition OF
Arkansas affairs, which has been going on
before a congress onal committee in Little
Rock, during the examination OF Mr.. J. N.
Smithee ON Saturday last, a question was
asked which has puzzled great many people,
and which was never more satisfactorily ans
wered than by this witness. The question
and answer were as follows
Mr.. Sayler-Will you explain to me how it
is that the Democrats voted for Mr.. Brooks in
1879 and are now favorable to Baxter?
Answer -Ies sir; it is story easily told.
The reason Mr.. Baxter did not receive a large
number Of Democratic votes at the election
was because Of his surroundings. He Was
surrounded by Judge Mcclure, Senator Clay
ton, and such other men as have testified be-
fore this committee, and we did not think it
possible for anything good TO come from him.
But then We were powerleSs. He Was duly
returned elected, installed, and entered upon
the discharge of his duties. In all his good
acts, as We construed tlem, we Endorsed him.
He soon showed signs OF a desire to throw
off the men who had surrounded him with
their jobs and schemes of robbery, aud to re-
ieve the people as far as possible. Heappoint.
ed some good officers something we had
not been accustomed to before saved the
people from having toisted on them debt OF
five or six million dollars saved them from
being controlled by metropolitan police, and
in other ways endeavored to save us from the
bad men who had ruined us, and to relieve us
~ much as possible. AS another evidence Of
his sincerity he gave us a fair registration and
election in 1873. aud followed this up by many
other such acts, finally entirely breaking loose
from bad men who had surrounded him
It the beginning of his administration. TINS
had the effect to attract to his support the
great majority of the people OF the State: on
the contrary. Mr.. Brooks surrounded himse'i
with the very men Baxter had cast overooa ;r,1:
in fact the two had changed places This,
in short, will explain the change OF sentiment
referred to.

THE CAPE MAY DIFFICULTY.

CAPE NAY, Aug 4. The difficulty that occurred
on Sunday in regard to the sacred concerts at the

gan, in speaking of them, merely stated that

Catholic heart, and recommended his members
to come to the church and hear the holy chants
in preference tn attcnli the hotel concerts.
There Vas no denunciaton of Father began
by the Catholics for his action in which there was
nothing wrong, pastors are allowed by the
P"pe to fix the time for vespers to suit the con-
venience of the members. The Catholics here
are stannch friends OF Father began, and attrb-
ute to him no improper motives.
