from the white population
klng White is the hero of the day, and
calls TOR him even now, at midnight, are
voclferous. He has refused to appear, and
counsels his men to go their quarters
and conduct themselves in moderation.
White was noted Kentucky guerrilla DUR
ing the war, and was at one time under
sentence of death at Louisville, but was
pardoned by Gen. Palmer, owing mainly to
the good feeling which the people held to-
wards him. The State House will proba-

morrow, but will not be occupied by Bax-
ter for some time, as it is in a filthy condi-
ton, having been occupied as an eating and
sleeping apartment by the negroes several
of whom were buried in the yard, and
their bodies will have to be removed.
The United States officer commanding
has received no orders yet as to how he
shall act. Anticipating an end of the
trouble he has removed his cannon COM

The whole trouble has been inaugurated
by Clayton, through Brooks, for corrupt
purposes. These are the premises:

Clayton faction, split with Clayton himself

Wiltshire After the carpet-Bag scoundrels,

special TO the 81. LOUIS RepuDllcan.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May Is, l874,-
AS indicated in these dispatches Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, the President has
sible to predict with certainty how far
Wiltshire nerve will hold out to complete
the work he has begun, but unless he takes
water the next move in the programme
will be to make the seats of Clayton and
Dorsey very uncomfortable. He mas the
facts and the documents, but a powerful
pressure is being exerted on him to let the
matter drop now and be satisfied with his
present victory Wiltshire says he has
risked everything to prevent the State
falling into the hands of carpet bag rail
road iobbers and now that he has succeed
ed in his single handed fight against them,
he feels that the tax-paying native citizens
of Arkansas ought at least to concede that
there is one Northern man among them
who is not thief, and who, whatever may
be his past party record, is worthy of their
confidence. This certainly is the first in
stance In the history of the South since the
war that a carpet-bagger has appeared as
a defender Of the people against the rapac
ity of other carpet t-baggers, and Wiltshire
seems In this case at least entitled to con-
sideration as having taken stand of hon
esty altogether exceptional among the class
to which he belongs.
LITTLE Rock, May l5.-The house to-
day passed joint resolution thanking Hon.

from the third Arkansas district, for hi.

TROUBLE IN THE ARKANSAS DELEGATION
There is every prospect for lively dis
turbance among the members of the Ar

What makes it more significant is the fac
that the New York Times has been select
ed as the medium of exposure. On tn
other hand Clayton declares that the fgh
is not yet over r,and is straining every nerv
to induce Congress to take the matter i

of the distinguished guests" on the
platform at Washington few nights
ago, witnessing the comforting of de-

not only smiled complacently as the
negro Langston addressed these new
fedged negro attorneys, predicting
for them judicial and other promi-
ent positions, but he actually took
the place Of Senator Morton and ad-
dressed the graduating class. AS re-
ported by the Chronicle, Foote made
a" felicitous address, counseling the
graduates to adhere strictly to the
two great pillars Of success-.integri.

happily to the woman suffrage ques-

predicted that the day was not lar
