@. w. Tankersly, Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, is now at st. Louis, and says he does
not recognize Baxter's cali for an extra
session OF the Legislature and has no
idea OF presiding over that body. He
says while en- route from Arkadelphia
to Little Rock the train was searched for him
three times by armed men, but be managed to
escape recognition. He thinks their intention
was to arrest and force him to preside over the
House.
BAXTER CORRESPONDS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Baxter received telegram from the President
to-day asking If the Brooks party were preventing
the members OF the Legislature from assembling
Baxter replied in the Affirmative, and that but for
the stoppage OF the trains by the Brooks force
there would have been q quorum the first day.
Brooks still occupies the State House, although It
was reported tonight he was moving out with
the records. No business houses have been opened
to-day, and she city is full of armed men.

ATTITUDE OF THE ADMINISTRA
TON.

WASHINGTON, May II, 1874
1t is known the administration was reluctant
or indsposed to interfere by force of arms in the
Arkansas troubles and therefore sought to restore
peace in that State by mild yet earnest appeals to
the parties Immediately interested. Baxter's
proposition as to the adjournment Of the Legis-
lature called for yesterday until Brooks adherents
should be present, together with the conditions
annexed, was so fair and reasonable, in the opin-
ion OF the President that the Attorney General
informed him that his interests required an mme.
date acceptance Oft. A remark was made in an
Executive quarter to-day that Brooks could not
have seen the significance Of the Intimation. The
rejection OF the proposition has certainly damaged
his cause In Official circles-a fact which perhaps
he will soon realize.
The government believes that the Legislature
should assemble free from armed and all other
menace or restraint from either side, and that the
proposition of Baxter, II It had been accepted by
Brooks, would have opened the way for peaceful
the part of the government will not be delayed
more than day or two, when means will be en-
ployed to protect the people from the dangers in
which they are involved, without Partially
towards either Of the contending factions or the
rival Governors by whom the ieud was initiated.
The President tonight expressed himself with
much earnestness against those stimulating blood
shed and throwing the entire State Of Arkansas
into anarchy, and he was equally earnest in say
ing that he would not delay much longer in coming
to decision in the premises

BROOKS WARLIKE DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, May II, 1874.

WASHINGTON, May H. 1874.
The following despatch was received here at a
quarter to three A. M. on Tuesday, dated:-
LITTLE ROCK May IL, 1874.
q. S. GRANT, President, Washington.
On the 9th Of May the Attorney General submitted
to me a proposition which, he said, had your
approval. On the 10th accepted the same out Of
difference to your wishes, feeling that in doing so
was humiliating myself and the Courts OF the
State. This did solely in the interest or peace,
supposing that Baxter would be required
TO assent to your proposed plan Of settlement In
accordance with the proposition OF the Attorney
General I issued q proclamation converting the
Legislature on the fourth Monday OF the present
month. To my surprise, Baxter has declined to
submit the question Of his election to the Legisla-
ture. In conversation with the members thereof
he boldly pr0claims that he does not and will not
permit investigation Of his right to the ONCE !;
yet you ask me to recognize the call of the Legis-
lature at the instance OF one who declares the ques
ton at issue, and for which you insist its being
assembled, shall not be settled by the tribunal you
desire to be convened. The attempted organiza-
ton made to-day failed, although persons were
sworn in as members from districts in which no
vacancies had been declared. Both houses OF the
Legislature now have quorum in existence.
This quorum should pass upon the election returns
and qualifications OF the newly elected members,
instead OF the newly elected members themselves.
This action cannot and Will not willingly SUBJ
nit to. Section article 4 or the constitution OF
the United States declares that full faith and credit
shall be given to the judicial proceedings Of every
State, and II, in the face Of the decision OF the
Supreme and Circuit Courts OF the State
deciding that ! am and recognizing Ine
as the legal Governor you can recognize
Baxter as Governor, it is your duty to
respond to his application for federal help If you
cannot It Is your duty to assist me to suppress the
present domestic violence. To dsband my troops
at this time, under no other assurances than are
contained in your telegram OF to-day, would re-
suit not only in the assassination OF the Judges OF
the Supreme Court but OF many Of my friends, ana
especially the colored men, who have been guilty
OF no crime save fidelity to law and order

the expression OF the will OF the people at the bal
lot box should be enforced and for the protection

trast inglorious and CORY war with the dear de-
lights OF piping peace, made universal would
eventually secure the much desired result The
other and much more feasible plan was the estab-
llshment OF courts OF arbitration local, national
and international. Alter giving an account OF the
meeting OF the United States International Code
Committee in New York IN April last and the &C
tiOn then taken, q high culOGum was pronounced

reputation was greatly increased by his well
known devotion TO the cause OF peace and national
fraternity. Sentiments of deep regret were ex-
