Scientific school.

A number of gentlemen OF pent!lc-
ton have organized themselves into an
association, for the purpose of estab-
fishing an institution Of learning ut
Fort Hill, tho seat of the late und illus
trious John G. Calhoun. Mr.. Il. G..
Clemson has offered them land suitn-
BILE for the purpose. lying along Seneca
River and at tho foot of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, combining great
beauty Of situation with exceptional
healthfulness of climate. In an address
to the people of the State. put forth by
these gentlemen, they glance at the
ruin of the South Carolina College,
the system of mixed admission Which
has been adopted, and tho purpose to
belittle the past history. to destroy the
old traditions and to obliterate forever
the old character of South Carolina.
The people of the State are practically
excluded from all participation in this
and other educational establishments
which they are heavily taxed to sup
port. It is felt to be necessary to rear
another institution of learning, which
shall be under such Influences and
surrounded with suoh associations as
will preserve the moral traditions of
the State, and at tho same time encou-
rage on intellectual freedom not incon-
sistent with true and loyal vencrntion
for it's past history. They think the
most urgent need of the State is q sys-
tenn of education which will fit its
young men to deal with the new con-
ditions in Which their livos are to be
matured. They propose, therefore, to
establish scientific school, where the
youth of the State may be prepared to
become intelligent workers in its mate
rial development. This address is
signed by Messrs. Ben. Sloan, y. II.
Cornish, J. w. Livingston. a. N.
Alexander, H. W. McLecs, John H
Maxwell and J. ". Crawford, to whom
we wish all success in their commend
able scheme.

BUSINESS FAILURES DURING 1873.
The statistics Of business failures in
this country are not collected by Co
vernment ctfieers. They can ouly be
made up by research of commercial
character, and the commercial agen-
cies furnish the most reliable figures.
1t is estimated that in 1873. the amount
of liabilities of persons WHO failed in
this country was over S29, 100000.
The fearful consequences OF the panic

amount of the failures had been some

THE Y0RKYIhhE EMQUfRER,

after day are these demoralizing exhibitions
travelling over the country, the men connected
with them not only defrauding and swIndllng
the uuwary, whom they inveige into some of
the thousand snares by which they lure their
victims but what is far worse, leaving behind
moral blight, the pernicious effects Of which
are hardly etfaced, before another of the same
description arrives, to inAict repetition of
the baleful effects of its predecessor. We
oppose high and oppressive taxation as rule;
but if all circus institutions were so taxed as
to amount to prohibiting them from the State,
we cannot but think the effect would be salu-
tary upon all classes; as, in the end, all class
es and all branches of industry are more or
less affected by their presence.

THE ARKANSAS WAR.

The war in Arkansas assumed new phase
on the 3rd instant, when, by order of Baxter,
Judges Searle and Bennett, of the Supreme
Court, were arrested at the town Of Argenta,
opposite Little Rock. The judges refused to
be arrested without the proper authority,
whereupon Captain Williams made signal
and band of armed men entered the car
with cooked revolvers, and Searle and Ben
net were forcibly taken from the train. The
supreme court was to convene in Little Rock
next day, (Monday). Judge Stephenson, also
of the supreme court, was on the train, but it
seems his presence was not suspected, else he,
too, would have been arrested. The affair
created great excitement in Brooks camp,
and had not the judges succeeded in making
their escape next day, serious trouble would
doubtless have ensued. The motives for the
arrest of the judges are explained as follows: ::
There is standing appropriation of fifty
thousand dollars at the disposal Of the Gov
ernor for the payment of the militia when
called into active service. This statute was
passed in 1868. Governor Brooks made a
requisition for part of this fund. The auditor
drew his warrant upon the treasurer for the
money, who, to protect himself from any
doubtful payment, refused to honor the war
rant, whereupon the attorneys for Brooks pre-
pared mandamus against the treasurer ask
ing that he be compelled to pay the money.
To the mandamus the treasurer responds that
the presiding officer of the Senate, to whom
the election returns were made, had declared
Baxter Governor of the State, and submits
that Brooks had no authority to draw upon
the fund. 10 this replication was prepared
setting up the judgment of the circuit court
in favor of Brooks for the Office of Governor
and his installation into office Hereunder 10
this replication demurrer was prepared to
the effect that the circuit court was without
jurisdiction to render judgment. The ques-
ton presented by the pleadings would neces.
sarily have determined who was the legal
Governor. 10 prevent this determination by
the court, Judges Bennett and Searle were ar
rested.

that on that day Senator Clayton and several
other parties from Arkansas representing the
Brooks interest, had an interview with the
President. The President has been urgently
besought by friends of both parties in Arkan-
sas to interfere, but so far he states that he
sees no reason why he should take any action
in addition to his standing order to the COM
mandant of the Little Rock arsenal to pre-
vent so far as possible the shedding of blood
The Brooks party say that the escape of
the captured Judges allows the Supreme Court
of the State to meet and that they are certain
that its decision will be adverse to Baxter.
This decision, they say, will settle the matter
efectually The friends Of Baxter are also
in the receipt of numerous kilograms. They
deny that any decision of the Supreme Court
can be binding, MS the constitution of the
State requires the attendance of all the MEM
bers of the court.
Since the date of the above dispatch, fight
ing has been reported, in which a number on
each side were killed and wounded The
President has addressed telegram to each of
the claimants, proposing mode of settlement.
He suggests that the members Of the legisla-
ture now at Little Rock adjourn for a rea-
sonable time-say ten days-to enable Brooks
to call to the body his supposed adherents, so
that there may be full assembly, as any
hasty action of only portion Of the legisls-
ture will not be satisfactory to the people.
They are both advised to dismiss their forces,
and military protection will be given the leg
isature to enable the members to arrive at a
conclusion freely and without pressure or in
Auence The intended action of either Brooks
or Baxter is not as yet known.
