from the State House the Chief Magis-

An appeal lies, of course, to the Su-
preme Court Of the State. mat gu
preme Court has already, in a case IN,
volving the point at issue, determined
that no court has the authority to de-
cideth validity of the election OF any
executive Office Of the State. 1t need
hardly be remarked that pending an APP
peal, the effect of the judgment OF the
Circuit Court OF Pulaski county is sus-
pended, and that the undertaking to sus-
tain the enforcement of that judgme mt

or moral paliation. The forcible election
Of the Chief Magistrate from the prem.

Our special dispatches from Little
Rock throw some additional light on the
state of affairs there, A collision seems
to be imminent and likely to occar at any
hour. Brooks has the advantage of po-
sition, but Baxter has the numbers on
him, and declares that forbearance is at
an end. This sounds like business, and
unless Brooks receives succor from the
outside, it seems that Baxter will be able
to storm the State-house and take pos
session whenever be chooses. His pro-
clamation, which appears in our columns
for the FIRST time, is telling document

The lost steamship Amerique is said
to have leaked badly from the time she
left Newcastle.on-Tyne, where she was

never heard of before. In 1864 he re
turned to England for the last time
alive. This expedition had been fruitful
of results, which will be great and last
ing benefit to the scientific and CONNER
cial world. He found fruitful countries
where sterile deserts we're supposed 10
exist; established missions and opened
up vast country to the light OF civil
cation. His third and last tour was d.
rected more particularly with ia view to
the discovery of the source of the mys-
FERROUS river Nile. he left England on
the l4th Of August, 1865, FOR Bombay,
and thence to Zanzibar. He crossed
over from there to the mainland and
plunged at once into the depths OF the
great unknown Africa, and afterward
was only heard of at long intervals. 1t
was reported several times that he was
dead, and the uncertainty as to his fate
kept the public ia state of anxiety and
profound interest for several years.
A letter from him was read
before the Royal Geographical
Society of London November 8, 1869, in
which he expressed the opinion that the
sources Of the Nile are nearly in the
position assigned them by Ptolemy, but
was not entirely satisfied. His last let
ter was dated July 8. 1869. After that
he was lost to the world more than two
years, and the deepest solicitude was
felt in regard to his fate. 1t was gen.
orally believed that he had fallen VIC
tim to the cupidity or superstition OF
the natives, or lost his life from the et-
fects of the terrible climate. Early in
1871 the New York Herald sent out the
Stanley expedition, the result of which
is known to the entire reading public
Stanley reached Livingstone in
November, 1871, but the fact was
not known in England until
May, 1872, so slowly does the news
travel rom that dark aud remote part
of the world. Stanley remained and
travelled with him four months
and then returned to England, bringing
with him numerous letters from Living
stone, and most precious of all the
heroic explorers diary and notes kept
for Eve years. This was sealed up aud
put in the vault OF a bank at Glasgow,
but will doubtless socn be published to
the world. 1t is understood that his sub
sequent journal has also been secured.
The particulars of his death have already
been published in the daily papers at
length as far as known. He died lit
orally with the harness on his back. He
was a martyr to his convictions, and
fell in the discharge Of great work to
which his life had been devoted for
many years. His is an illustrious ex-
ample, and the benefits of his various
discoveries will be realized by genera
tons unborn. The darkness which has
brooded over Africa for ages has been
penetrated, and the possibilities ofopen-
ing that country to the benefits of COM
merce and civilization are no longer to
be questioned.
