LITTLE Rock, May l8.-In the House
a resolution passed to-day, appointing
committee to investigate and report
whether any State officers have been
engaged in armed instruction against
tho legal State government. A similar
commission was appointed in the
Senate.
Gov. Baxter to-day revoked his pro-
clamation of martial law in the county
SO far as to permit the arrest of those
who formed the insurrection against
the State government and their deten.
ton for criminal process.
A large number of both Brooks and
Baxter's troops left to-day and it is ex-
pected Brooks party will evacuate the
State house tomorrow.

The Chicago Tribune don't like the
Manhattan club gathering to revive
the old democratic party, it can swal-
low anything but the name democracy.
The Tribune folk are not fools there
fore what are they? Let US see.
Now we suppose genuine cut
throat is no less such, whether his
name is Smith or Jones.
An expert gamblers sly tricks per-
tain no more to one cognoman than
another. A sheep-killing dog dubbed
Rover is hardly such because of his
name. Neither does the Reverend
gentleman's name obtain as the
cause when he falls from his high
calling. True it is, that the Reverend
might find it convenient in new quar-
tiers to change his name, but it can
hardly work his salvation, or even
better his nature or his deeds.
Now if our premises above stated be
true, does the Tribune expect to make
saints or par excellence reformers out
of the democracy, a party just out OF
the ranks of rebellion, by change of
name?
As we have said the Tribune folk
are not fools, and therefore they GER
tainly know that fve-sixths of the
Reform party they are laboring for
have so far come, and must come from
this same old democratic party, and
therefore may We not in all sincerity
and good judgment say that the Iri-
bune like the preacher finds it conven-
lent to change the name, because of
the odor attached to the deeds Of that
party and the men who constituted it !?
The name changed however, the zys-
bmne is happy, and the millennium sud-
denly breaks upon its vision through
such medium. n
No! the Tribune folk are not fools,
and hence we seem to hear at this point
the reader, in the exercise of little
common sense, announcing what they
are, viz: Dishonest, political tricksters,
as much ont of place running great
journal of the Northwest, as would be
band of fallen angels preaching re-
form to the occupants of Elysium.

LITTLE Rock, May l9-About day.
light this morning Brooks, with .
squad of cavalry, evacuated the State
House and disappeared. 1t is believed
that he took the road to Fort Smith.
Secretary of State Johnston this NOR
ming went to the State House with
workmen, cleared it, and at noon Bax-
ter's commanding General, Newton,
took possession, and subsequently
Baxter, escorted by General Whites
troops, rode to the State House and
proceeded to his room, where numer-
Ons friends congratulated him. A mil
itary salute vas fired outside. The State
House was in dilapidated condition.
The desks in the Legislative halls and
Supreme Court rooms were converted
into barricades, and many were bro
ken. The State arms were scattered
throughout the building.
Several men who were actively en-
gagged with Brooks, took seats in both
Houses to-day.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the matter, to-day reported that
Senators John NJ. Clayton and r. A.
Dawson had been engaged with the
insurgents. No action was taken on
the report.
Attorney General Yonley sent il
his resignation to-day, which Baxter
accepted.
Everything is quiet this evening.
The Government troops occupy the
Arsenal.
Business begins to recover.

MINING LAW.

We have heard report tina; a telegram
has been sent from this place TO Repre-
sentative Kendall, asking him to oppose
the amendment to the mining law which
gives an additional year for performing
certain work on mining claims located
before the passage OF the act. We do
not think that the telegram in question
represents the true feeling of the miners
of this section. On the contrary, we
think that thousands of poor deserving
men, who have stuck to their claims
through thick and thin, would hail the
extension as great boon. An occupa'
ton Us venturesone and precarious as
mining cannot be judged by ordinary
rules, and many men, the bona fde own
ers OF claims that they believe will some
day pay them, have not been able in con-
sequence OF hard times, i'll health, or
thousand other mischances, to which q
miners life is peculiarly exposed, to ex-
pend the outlay requisite to hold their
claims As the general thing the indi-
viduals composing this class are very de-
serving. They are laborious, enterpris-
ing, ana form one of the most valuable
class OF citizens that reside m this State,
in fact they made it, it was the bold and
hardy prospeetors, undeterred by Winter
storms, Summer drouth and hostile sava-
ges, that have found the mines aud de-
monstrated the mineral wealth of Neya'
ia to the world. Their desires and ne.
cessities in view of past services should
then be considered, while their rights
should rather be fostered and protected
rather than jeopardized or destroyed
For these reasons we think the amend
ment proposed a just and wise one, and
again most earnestly urge Mr.. Kendall tc
assist its becoming law by every mean'
in his power.

WISCONSIN RAILROAD WAR.

by our kilograms we learn that Gov
rrnor Taylor, of Wisconsin, appeals to the
people OF that State to assist him in en-
forcing the laws regulating fares and
freights passed by the last Legislature,
and the struggle whether the people or
the railroads shall rule the country will
very shortly be brought before the high
est tribunals of the land for determine
ton. It is true two eminent lawyers
have given opinions in faver of the rail
roads right to wiring what tribute they
please, but lawyers opinions are not al
ways law, and are somewhat apt to be
tinctured by the desires and needs of the
parties who retain them. We do not
mean by this any disrespect or iuuendo
against the integrity of an honorable and
useful profession, but it must be con-
ceeded that when lawyers are retained
they feel in duty bound to present their
clients cause in its best possible form,
and sometimes reach conclusions tina,
the premises, if considered with strict
impartiality, will not warrant. We
therefore do not give the weight that the
railway organs attach to what the latter
call the Irresistible and massive logic
of these lawyers, and shall much sooner
rely upon the well considered judgment
of the Justices Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, by whom the matter
in some form or other, will be ultimately
decided. In the mean time we cannot bu
commend the bold and firm attitude O
the Executive of Wisconsin and trus
that the people of that State will RESPOND
with aacrity to the call and strengthen
his hands for the struggle.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-The jury in
the case of Autone Hunckler on trial in
the Twelfth District Court the past three
days for the murder of his mother Chath-
rine Ernie. came up this afternoon with
a verdict Of manslaughter. When the
verdict was rendered Hunckler affected a
crazy dodge, falling upon the floor and
refusing to walk, he declined to answer
questions, but kept pointing to his head
and shaking it. He was carried 10 the
Jail TO await sentence / Telegrephic dis.
What high toned moral juries they find
in San Francisco. A wretch, blot on
humanity, a fend in human shape called
Antoine Hunckler, kills his wretched,
defeuseless mother, and in spite of the
warnings OF the prosecuting attorney,
who told the jury that the worse than
brute was either guilty of murder or
nothing. they bring in verdict of man.
slaughter. What pity it is that the
abandoned wretch. who had embrewed
his hands in the sacred blood of his un'
happy parent, had not first tried his muir
derous hands on that beautiful jury. Va
| believe San Francisco boasts band o.
! praying crusaders: they had better sta,
at home and so bring up their children
| that when the latter reach mans estate
they will not shed the blood OF the be
ings that gave them birth.

DEPARTED. Victoria G. Woodruff
Tennie c.. Clahin. their mother, Miss
Zula Woodruff, and Col. Blood left for
San Francisco last evening. Woodruff
and Clatiin have no reason to fondly love
the people of New York, who imprisoned,
robbed and deprived them of their prop
erty, and now seek a more congenial
home among the people of the Pacific
Coast, They already begin to feel at
home, and like the people SO far as they
have got. They propose making their
home and establishing themselves in
business in San Francisco. IL Gold Hill
News, 22d,
We are not, as rule, in love with San
Francisco and its doings. The people
there are very apt to look at the mining
regions with very variable notions.
Sometimes they are ali sugar, but more
frequently all vinegar, and have dis
agreeable fancy for bulling and bearing
and banging mining stocks around, no.
with any reference to the real merits Of
the several undertakings, but to their
chances of making money by stock spec
ulatons. However, with all their short
comipgs, and sins of omission and COM
mission, which are by no means few or
light, we think we are even with them
now. For besides being blessed as the
abode of Mrs. Fair and battalion of the
strong minded, the whole house of Wood
hull, Claflin Il Co. has precipitated itsel
bodily on the Bay City. We thought
the folks there deserved to catch partic
ulnr fits, and if they do not now gel
them, then all signs fail. San Francisco
folks have used Phoebe pretty meanly
but christian charity now compels us tc
forgive them. We never triumph ovel
the fallen.
