ARKANSAS.

The news from Arkansas this morning
is not very promising for peaceful solu-
ton Of the difficulty precipitated by the
unparalleled conduct Of the circuit
court. Both Baxter and Brooks occupy
belligereut attitudes, and it is difficult
20 say yet what will be the upshot.
Baxter, it will be seen, is in court again
10y his attorneys, while he has taken
possession Of the city and lays seige to
the statehouse, where Brooks is immured
10y his "cent guard" II Baxter has the
pluck he viii win, if not he will 90 to
the wall before the most persistent and
courageous Of all the Radicals
Of Arkansas. Brooks says he
means peace, but it is NapoleOnic
peace-at the point of the bsyonet His
proclamation elsewhere will challenge
attention, bu. every good man who
knows how necessary absolute quiet is to
the progress Of a community, will be
apt to reflect upon him as the author of
woes perhaps 9 thousand folds worse
Than any Arkansas has yet endured.

NASHVILLE, April 16.-The Cumber-
land river is still rising one inch an hour.
Several hundred yards of Market street,
south Of Broad, is now several feet un-
der water, to the great damage Of stores
and residences. One foot more will in
wade the easements of thirty or forty
business houses on Front street, north OF
Broad. Merchants are now moving
their goods and cotton to more secure
places. One firm will have to remove
six thousand barrels OF salt at loss OF
thousands of dollars. The damage al
ready TO property, and moving Of goods
and groceries, amounts to thousands of
dollars. There is great damage along
the different railroads from high water.
Trains are temporarily delayed on the
Decatur road. Waverly, on the North
western railroad, suffered severely from
the storm on Tuesday night. The Ten
nessee river is very full and rising two
inches an hour; threatens an overflow.
The Cumberland, Stone and Duck rivers
are higher than at any time since lS47,

reach or exceed that year.

The currency initiation bill, which
passed the house yesterday, if it be sp-
proved by the President, will at once set
free a great volume Of currency now de-
posted and idle in banks. The value
of this currency is somewhat Iessened,
and since money becomes more abun-
dant, property values will be enhanced.
Since taxstjon makes real estate unsafe
able, this useless money will be invested
iu cOtton-miils and other manufactures,
and industry and speculation may be
greatly stimulated.

THE EUROPE.
Statement OF ChisEEngineer LecrOix-
The Collision, Etc.

New YORK, April l4.-Chief Engi-
neeT LecrOiX makes the same state
ment, i'm substance, as the captain,
aud was witness to the prom
ise made to Captain Lemaire that he
should be allowed to return to his vessel
the next day, aud to the violent man
ner In which he was pushed back when
attempting 70 visit his ship. He also
says that he himself was prevented from
entering another boat 70 20 on board the
Europe 10 examine the condition Of
affairs. He regards the whole proceed
ing as = conspiracy to prevent the crew
Of the French vessel from getting back
10 her.
A son Of the New York agent OF the
line, who was q passenger on the Europe,
says he heard the chief engineer Of the
Greece say, when pushing back Captain
Lem8ire, "Nou have no business here;
We will take charge Of that ship, and
don't want any interference"
Captain Thomas, Of the Greece, pro-
nOunces these stories OF Captain Le-
maire and his chief engineer absurd and
without a particle Of truth.
In the transfer of passengers Mr.
Vaisen, bound for New Orleans, was
badly bruised, and ms wife has almost
lost her reason. When Mr.. Reid was
about 90 descend 10 the boat from the
Europe, he threw his valise, containing
number Of useful and valuable articles,
10 q sailor, who threw the vslise into
the sea, saying that no baggage could be
taken. Several days after the baggage
was found in 3 staterOOm. 1t must have
been picked up by a following boat
Curio1sly enough, among the things in
the valise was 3 watch which belonged
10 Miss Hunter, who was saved from
fhe Vile du Havre. The watch bad
been injured by water when Miss Hun.
ter had been found floating, and had
beeD left in Paris for repairs. Mr.. Reid
was bringing il to the owner, when 1
was q second time wrecked and rescued
The collision between the two vessels
occurred when they were about 10 par
company. Il seems that while the
Greece was endes voring to pass a haw.
sar on oard the Europe 70 tow her head
on before the wind, the Europe forced
ahead and struck the stern Of the Greece
cutting q hole In the hslf-rOund down tC
the main deck. The damage is very
serious.

THE ANERIQUE.
Another OF the HaVre Line of Steam
eTS Meets with a Disaster-NO
Lives Lost

BREsT, FRANCE, April l6.-The
steamer J. Amerique fcundered during a
violent tempest on the fourteenth. She
was abandoned when on the point Of
sinking. An Italian ship, which saved
the largest number Of those on board,
arrived here 10 dsy, carrying forty Of the
passengers and one hundred ana forty
eight Of the crew. A Norwegian vessel
which saved thirty more of the passen-
gers, also arrived here. An ERglish
vessel, with the remainder of the crew,
is expected here, though she may have
gone 10 some port on the English
coast. The pas ssengers unite in praise
Of the conduct Of Captain Rousseau
Of the Amerique, who, they say,
was cool and brave throughout.

surprise, and it Is probable that much
unconsidered abuse will be heaped upon
the head Of Mr.. Brooks. But there are
few facts which ought to be remem-
bered. II the question We're merely
which is the better man for the office,
probably the majority of those who
know the two men would decide that
while Brooks is the abler, Baxter is the
safer of the two. But this question has
nothing to do with the rights of the case.
No candid man, who knows the facts,
can deny that Brooks was elected by a
majority Of at least three thousand hon
est and hOnestly-returned votes. He
was counted out because his opponents
controlled the machinery. Was it likely
that he would submit to this wrong, if
he could, by any means, obtain re-
dress? Do we know any kind of human
nature that would be likely to do this
Mr.. Baxter has felt the uncertainty of
his position, and has tried to disarm his
opponents by pursuing a policy, per-
haps, dictated, certainly approved, by
them. But this could not recti-
fly the injustice of his wrong
fully holding his Office. We
will admit that he has been a good gov
ernor. We will admit that he has not
been controlled by those who fraudulent
ly placed him in his seat-admit that he
has even quarreled with them and
turned his back upon them. Even il
he were transformed into an angel from
heaven, this would not remove the
wrong by which he has exercised q
power that the people never conferred
upon him. The same principle applies
to this case that Governor Kemper so
wisely lays down in his veto of the Pc
tersburg bill. Fundamental principles
must not be destroyed to correct an in
dividual wrong. So if Joe Brooks was
rightfully elected by the people of Ar
kansas he is entitled to his seat, though
Baxter may have convinced Brooks's
supporters that himself is much the bet
ter man. Let Brooks at least be judged
fairly. A. T. S.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, !
LITTLE Rock ADril 1G- 1874 (

proclamation:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
LITTLE ROCK, April Is, lS7i.)
To the People Of Arkansas:
AS you well recollect, I was a eandi-
date for the office of governor at the
November election of 1872. That / re-
ceived a majority of the votes for that
office, has never been denied even by
the friends Of Elisha Bexter. appealed
to the legislature and asked to be al
lowed 10 contest the election for the
office Of governor, and my petition, at
the instance and by the connivance of
Elisha Baxter, who cOrruptly used his
official patronage to bribe members of
the legislature, was rejected, and 1 was
denied NOS only the right Of petition,
which the constitution guarantees to
every citizen, but 1.-THE right to have the
question Of election Investigated or
passed upon. The encouragement
asked the supreme court for q
quo tCGrrGntO against Elisha Baxter, for
the purpose of compelling him to show
by what warrant and authority
he assumed to discharge the du-
ties of the Office of governor, and
that tribunal declared that it had no ju-
risdiction to hear and determine q con-
test for the office of governor; and the
cause was dismissed for the want Of ju-
risdiction. then commenced an sctiOn
against Elisha Baxter, under the provi-
siOns Of the code, in the manner pre-
scribed by law, for the recovery of the
office, and the salary received by Elisha
Baxter during the time he wrongfully
withheld the same from me. l served a
notice ON Elisha Baxter that would, at
certain times and places named in said
notice, take testimony in support of my
claim. Elisha Baxter, for reasons best
known to himself, neglected and
failed TO appear at the times and places
mentioned, and treated the court pro-
ceeding with derision and contempt,
openly bossting, in public and private
speeches and conversations, that he
would resist the execution of the jsdg-
ment of any court of the State with the
militia, If it attempted to, in any man.
ner, interfere with his discharge of the
duties of the Office of governor. Not
withstanding his threats, l continued to
take testimony, and prosecute suit for
the purpose of asserting my own rights,
and vindieating your choice at the bal
lotbOx. On yesterday the circuit court
rendered a judgment in my favor for the
office and the salary, and at once took
the OaJn OF OUce, anu tOok l'OSsesSiOH VI
the same. Elisha Baxter no longer
holds the executive Office, and it is to be
hoped that you will join your voice to
mine in rejoicing that the man you
chose for governor has at last been duly
installed into office. Being In office, it
is but fair that should, to some extent,
define nay future policy, which the ad-
herents Of Elisha Baxter will, no doubt,
misrepresent for the purpose of
advancing their personal interests and
gratifying their own ambition. For my
political tenets, l respectfully refer you
tn the platform of the Reform party, on
which l was candidate in 1872. From
the principles therein enunciated, / have
not departed, aud, God helping me, l
never will. No one man in the State
has felt the power Of llot-box-stuffers
