Clayton.
Special Washington dispatch TO the st. Louis Dis.
patch.

Special Washington dispatch TO the St. Louis Dis
patch.
The Governor Of Arkansas special
telegram to Gen. Grant was duly received
and dnly acted on. The President called
at once upon the Attorney General and
was in consultation with him for two
hours. The decision was emphatic not
to interfere in the Arkansas imbroglio,
but to let the State Courts settle the mat
ter. The entire Arkansas delegation
waited upon the President and requested
him to recognize Brooks. Grant re-
marked coldly that he should follow the
precedent set in Louisiana, and do moth.
ing whatever to interfere with the State
Courts. Brooks telcgraphcd late last
night requesting that the State arms in
the United States arsenal should be turned
over to him. This request was perempto-
rly denied, because of fear thaAa con-
fict might be precipitated between the
contending factions.
The situation in Arkansas causes much
talk here this morning. and no little ex-
citemcnt. Groups Of Senators and Rep.
rcsentatves here discussed it in all of its
bearings.
Some of the views of the leading men
Of the country on the subject may be
worth telegraghing:
Said Carpenter; "The Government
should keep its hands off. No more Lou.
isianas, if the Republican party is wise. v
Said Butler: +" It's dog eat dog. Bax-
ter has no backbon and Brooks no con.
science. Neither 10 true. +"
Said Morton: see no cause for this
violent action on the part Of Brooks. 1t
bears revolution on its face"
Said Clayton: Brooks was fairly
elected in 1872; he was kept out Of office
by fraud the law in Arkansas is simply
no law the Courts can be bought or sold
at pleasure; and in order to get what a
man is justly entitled to there must be
more or less rough work Brooks will
stick, never fear that.
Said Boutwell, "The settlement had
best be left to the State authorities. "
Said Dorsey: "Thc President should
stand by Brooks. He is the true repre-.
sentative Of the true Republican party in
Arkansas.
Said Fernando Wood: "It's quarrel
among our enemies, although the sympa.
thes Of the Democrats are with Baxter. }"
Said Belknap, Secretary Of War: "The
President does not mean to interfere un.
less there is bloodshed, or unless the
public peace is violently disturbed. "
Said Thurman: "What commentary
ON reconstruction. The war has been
over nearly ten years, and here is a State
that is about to be declared in a condi.
ton of insulreclion because two bad and
merccnary factions, are fighting over the
spols of helpless people.
