THURSDAY, APRIL l6, 1874.

ARKANSAS There are two Governors claim
ING to be elected, and one has taken possession
of the Executive Office with an armed band and
elected the other, who ,has appealed to the
President for support. Joseph Brooks claims
to have been elected Governor in 1872, and TO-
stituted a suit in Circuit Court to gain pos
session of Office. Meanwhile the Attorney
General brought suit against Governor baX-
ter, who was 10 possession of the office, and
the Supreme Court of the State decided that
it had no jurisdiction over contested election
case tor the Office of Governor. The Lcg's!a-
ture 10 1873 opened the returns and declared
Baxter elected. Meanwhile demurrer 10 the
jurisdiction Of the Court was entered 10 the
case 10 the Circuit Court, aud yesterday IN the
absence of the Attorneys of Governor Baxter,
the Judge overruled the demurrer and issued
Judgment of custer. A writ was placed IN
the hands of the Sheriff and Brooks with an
armed band forced bis way into the Governor S
Office and elected him. The party also broke
into the State Armory and seized about one
hundred stand of arus. Gov. Baxter has teIe-
graphed to President Grant, asking that the
commander of the Uuited States Arsenal be
directed to sustain him.

STATE DEBT.-In response 10 resolution OF
the Senate, Cen Asa Rogers, Second Audi
tor, has prepared an elaborate statement Of the
State debt with the amount and character OF
the bonds outstanding. The aggregate OF the
debt on the 10th OF April was S5U,47S, Al 10.
Aud the amount recognized as the portion to
be settled by West Virginia, ST., 239. A
The average amounts of interest undrawn for
the ten years from 1851 to 1861 we're SlS,-
400 OS. But it will be observed, says Gen.
Rogers, that in 1852 our public debt was only
about $l2 ,0O0, 900. from which time there was
a gradual increase, and in 1861 it ran up to
$50, 100000. 1t appears that the average
amount OF uudrawn interest for the last five OF
the ten years referred to was for each year
Sll5,S52 55. From my experience here III the
payment of interest it is reasonable TO estimate
that two months after any period when We pay
at the rate Of four per ct. per anuum there will
be undrawn at the end Of two months some
500, 900, ADD that six months thereafter
there will be at least 100000 uncalled Tor. Ii
an extraordinary number OF coupons shall DC.
thrown into the Treasury for taxes, 1t might
someWha reduce these estimates. 1t Is be-
lieved that considerable amount of our public
debt will never be called for. The stocks have
been lost, parties are dead, aud the probability
is that nearly 81 100000 of our debt will never
be presented for payment. This, of course, is
only oopjectured. | think it is fair to estimate
that about two-thirds of the taxes on licenses
will be paid 10 past due coupons, and on ac-
count of ordinary taxes, not exceeding one
