The Gnzette says;
The whole of yesterday morning

country to reinforce Governor Baxter

placing guard over the same, and sta

troops Mt the Ashley mansion.
Immediately after Colonel Rose took
possession Of the telegraph office and
relieved Governor BuXter's guards, the
Brooks men industriOusly circulated
the report that the difficulty was set

some little talk Mt the time, but when
the matter was understood and the
governors lines advanced to II point OPP
posite the Metropolitan hotel, all ofthe
governors forces were treasured.
Several of the recruiting officers sent
out by brooks on Friday have re-
turned, but without u single man.

Saturday evening" saws.
"Major j. l.. Witherspoon came down
to our city last evening for the purpose
Of organizing troops to go to Little
Rock to assist in putting Governor
Baxter in the gnbernatOrial chair. He
went of guard, leaving his oldest sou in
his place, to recruit men for the service
of Governor Baxter. His whole soul
appears to be IN the cause, and he re-
CARDS the situation as we do, the turn
ing point in the fortunes of Ar
kansas. We understand he has sue
ceeded in raising II company of men
who will so up tonight to enlist under
the banner of Governor Baxter. We
bid them God speed, for they are en-
gagged IN the cause of justice and the
people"
The sun shone forth yesterday even
ing, much to the relief of everybody.
The following COMMUNICATION eX-
presses the general sentiment of the
people.
"ApRL Is, 1874.
"EDIToRs GAzETTE--As private
citizen, who has said nothing, nor
made any movement so far in the pres
ent imbroglio, | may be permitted
to state, at least, my opinions ON the
state of affairs, and when | express my
opinion | may be allowed to say that
over one thousand men with whom
have spoken to-day, concur in what |
say, and are ready to support it at the
bay0net's point. In the first place, by
the expressions of the bar of Little
Rock, in Il meeting held in which reso-
lutions were passed, all of which have
been published in the Gazette, it has
been shown that the proceedings BY
which Rev. Mr.. Brooks has been placed
in power, are both illegal, not to char
acterize them more severely, as they
deserve. Secondly, Baxter having been
recognized and having held his seat
for nearly two years, and In the mean
time having given entire satisfaction
to all parties, of honest mind; and
thirdly, the mean advantage taken by
Brooks and his party to obtain posses
sion OF the state house and state prop
erty, shows all fair.minded men that
this is only repetition of the Louisi-
ana and latterly Texas business.
what a farce on republican govern
ment this is! A governor is declared
duly elected by competent authority,
serves most of his term with honor to
himself and the state, and because he
does not comply with the wishes of a
corrupt ring, of the existence of which
We are sure, he is vi et drn,is thrown

hooves all good citizens to think before
they act in the present serious aspect of |
affairs, and once thinking they can't |
fail to arrive at the same conclusion |
that l have; that If they want honest, |
fair government they must support the |
