THE RAILROAD TAX-Messrs Dovnes Lind

THE RAILROAD TAx.-Messrs Downes, Lind
sey Dow and Mason, of the Executive Coun-
Gil, with Mr.. Mark Harden, Messenger of that
body, as clerk, were in session at the Preble
House yesterday for the purpose of devising
system of laying tax upon the railroad stocks
OF the State pursuant to the act of the last Leg
islature. The subject is naturally attended
with much difficulty, and it is quite probable
that several railroads will resist it. Indeed,
the Maine Central has already given notice that
it don't propose to pay any State tax if it can
be avoided. Only those roads will be consider
ed as coming within the limits of the law
whose stocks have marketable value. This
classification will embrace the Eastern. Boston
& Maine. Maine Central, Grand Trunk, the st.
Croix & Penobscot. The committee will con-
tinue in session to-day at the Preble House for
the purpose of consulting the attornes of seve-
raj roads

LITTLE Rock. April 17.-Gov Baxter has is
sued longlprocl nation rehearsing what has
been done by his opponents, concluding as fol-
lows: 'The Executive of the State has but
one obligation to perform that to which he is
bound alike by his duty as citizen and his
official oath The authority of law will imme-
diately and effectually be asserted, peaceably if
may be, but asserted in a. event. The Gov
ernor proposes to occupy the capitol as Cover

State to support the government against
shameless usurpation. Under the solemn obi
cations of my oath of Office, renew my prom
support which they owe to the magistrate"
This morning Judge Whytock sent a note to
the Clerk of the Circuit Court stating that he
had been advised by the sheriff that it would be
unsafe for him to come to the Circuit room on
Markham street, and requested the clerk to
bring the records to the State House. Cover
nor Bakers attorneys were also notified.
These gentlemen declined to pass through the
Brooks guard tc tie State House, where the
County Clerks office is located to attend the
court. The judge then moved the Criminal
Court just opposite, but the counsel did not at
tend at that place. Judge WhylOck then over
ruled the motion to set aside the judgment in
the Brooks-Baxter case and sustained the mo-
ton to correct the record so as to show that the
demurrer was submitted without the knowl-
eldge of Baxter or his attorney. The Bar held
meeting to day and passed severe resolutions
against Whipple, Brooks attorney, for his nom
court for its action in observance Of Governors
council. During the merning Gen. s. p Dock
cry was appointed military Governor of the
city and issued an order enrolling all able bod
led men and commanding peace.
In obedience to that order the people are rap
idly enrolling, and address taking sides with
Governor Baxter if being generally signed, and
pledglng support to him.
Baxter is still at the Anthony House with a
guard stationed around the hotel and Brooks is
at the State House surrounded by number
of armed men, mostly colored. He is fortify-
ing the place, apparently preparing for siege.
The United STAGES Circuit Court adjourned to-
day till the first Monday in May, and Judge
Dillan leaves to-dight for st. Louis.
The first arrest was by Bakers troops who
arrested one of Brooks Lieutenants this morn
ing while passing near Baxter's headquarters
and sent him to the guard house. Brooks forces
have not apparently been augmented by any
considerable number. Bakers officers a en-
rolling men rapidly and public feeling is gener-
orally in his favor. The United States troops
occupy position in the centre of the city to-
night to prefervc the peace. Bakers forces
have taken possession of tina different gun
stores and the arms and ammunition in them.
