Gov. Brocks recently sent the fol lowing telegram to President Grant: To the President :H. King White, who fired on the commander of the United States troops at Little Bock, has been orderod to Pine Bluff, by Baxter, and he is pillaging and mur dering. The State Is perfectly peace fut except in Jefferson county, the scene of the White's robberies and murders. I have refraiued from send ing out forces in order to prevent a conflict. Signed, Joseph Brooks, Governor of Arkansas The citizens of Clinton county, Mo., recently held a convention on the currency question. They passed a series of resolutions and among oth ers the following : That henceforth we esteem it the duty of the agricultural and produc ing sections of the country to unite in a solid phalanx against the en croachments of capital, and hereby pledge ourselves to vote for no mem ber of Congress or other candidate for a Federal office, who la not In full sympathy with the Interest of tho people of th9 West. The meeting endorsed the course of Hon. I. C. Parker, their Congress man, and condemned Senator Sohurz and the President. Tho Pawnee Republican says Es Gov. Butler recently delivered a lec ture In Pawnee on the subject of tem perance; that he enters into tho dis cussion of the temperanee question with all his accustomed energj-; that he is doing a good work for temper ance. But, after saying all that so nicely, the Republican winds up with the following most singular wish singular! Yes, heathenish, wicked: "May he battle on for the right un til every saloon and whisk jT shop in this fair State of ours ib free from Its blighting influences." Isn't that awful to pray that sa loons and whisky may become free from the blighting influence of "the right." Mr. Editor Hassler, where do you think you'll die when you go to? The Sfc. Joseph Herald says that a few days ago whila some parties were engaged in digging up an old grave yard at Kansas City, they came across the coffin of a woman who had been buried twenty-five years. The csket itself was in a good state of preserva tion, only the glass plate being brok en. The body of the woman was completely petrified, resembling- a pieoe of rusty iron more thau any thing else, and the features were read ily recognized by-those who had known her in life. A very singular feature in the case was that the silver .mountings known to have been upon the coffin had disappeared. Either Iron outwears silver, or someone had deliberately plundered the las treating plaoeof the dead. - It is estimated that the census now being taken will show 260,000 people in the State. A reward of $500 is offered for the arrest of the murderers ofHolmus, in Colfax County. asaasa'i,.k!i:ir,Tt THE PRESIDENT OX TUB FINAN- , CSS. A dispatch from Washington says ullu&ion having been made to Presi dent Grant about a compromise of the llnance measure that would be accept able to both sides, the President re plied that he did not know; what force was intendid to apply to tho term "compromise'' unless it was an agree ment to carry out the pledges or the country; that might be considered a compromise by those who originally defeated every proposition offered during tho discussion in congress. and by so agreeing have reason, tft he- feve that such legislation would-meet with his approval. Tt- has been said he promised in bis-last annual mes sage to heartily support any measure congress might decide upon. He did not intend any such construction to be put-upon his language. If he had not made himself understood, this more recent message would clear up anything like ambiguity. One thing he had endeavored to make plain dur ing hi administration, had been that he was for carrying out the solemn pledges of the government at the ear liest day possible, aud a specie basis, the establishment of our currency on gold and silver, had been uppermost in his mind whenever he sent to con gress his annual message. He had not said what kind of a bill he would approve. It was his earnest hope that congress would dispose of the question The re-distribution of twenty-five million dollars of bank currency, with five million dollars of notes belong ing to broken batiks aud banks in liquidation in the North and West, ought to furnish ftT the present all that was asked for, and he has been assured, since the veto of the finance bill, that New Eugland banks were anxious to reduce their circulation, inasmuch as tiie bonds now held for circulation would be released, aud furnish them with a larger currency capital for loan than they now had. While our securities were worth in legal tenders sixteen or seventeen cents above par, and the national banking notes were bound to be se cured under the existing law as so much sacrifice to baukingcapitallists, he did not wonder that New England banks were anxious to cancel their notes aud get their bonds. In fact this suggestion came to him early last fall, during the striugency of the money market, and he thought it worth while calling the attention of congress to it in his last message. Since then he had heard nothing to chunge his opinion on this point. -g o. A3IOXG THE GUAXGEKS. We frequently hear of matters that transpire among the grangers, but as their proceedings usually indicate discretion and good sense, and are calculated to do no body any particu lar harm, especially themselves, we have, with few exceptions, refrained from saying aii3'thiug even in a spirit of criticism. But sometimes, gran gers, even prominent leading gran gers.do things that are too good, or too mean, to keep. For instance, "brother" S. W. Kennedy, the "pur chasing agent" for this county, a short time ago, proposed a resolution In a meeting of graugers, to this ef fect. Resolved, That hereafter any grang er who shall bo known to trade with any merchant or merchants, other than such as has been designated by a local or State Grange as suitable for grangers to trade with, shall, upon evidence furnished the lodge of which he is a member, bo deemed guilty of a violation of the regulations of the or der and be expelled," &c, or other wise cruelly pnnlshed. If we recollect dbrrectlr what our granger friend told us about the mat ter, it was at St Joseph, Mo., in some kind of a granger council, that Mr. Kennedy offered the indicated reso lution. And without receiving ma ture deliberation, the resolution was passed, and was for a few hours a law of the grangers; but next day, after the good sense of the members got in to operation, the absurdity of what they had done became apparent, when tho matter was reconsidered and the resolution killed. We do not record this matter for the purpose of discussing the bearings of Kennedy's resolution ; every in telligent man. graugers and others, need not he told how absurd danger ous, and suicidal to the organizatioh ofgrangers itself, would be the ad option of such measures. We do not suppose that Kennedy thought of im posing absolute despotism on his be loved order men of so narrow views are not apt to think of anything more than self importance and petty spite. There is no danger of the grangers being governed by men entertaining such views as Mr. Kennedy does. The great majority of them are intel legent men and women and condemn such attempted Infringements on their rights as heartily as we do. Let a few Kennedy's run the grange bus iness and they would run it to the devil in a hurry. If a grange ha3a right to dictate whare you shall trade and where you shall not trade, it has- the same right, consistently with log ic and reason, to say what you shall eat and what you Bhall drink and with what kind of garments you must be clothed, and preferring freedom to tyranny aud despotism, members would sever their connection and granges would disolve like the base less fabric of a vision. 9 3 S Prof- J. M. McKenzte, Lincoln, Neb., having been appointed by the State Sunday School Association to prepare a paper on the present con dition of Sunday School work in the State, desires information upon the following points: 1.

A BATTtE FOUGHT. The Gazelle, of Little Rock, gives the particulars of a fight whichoo curredatNew Gascony, last Thurs- Ho fnllnws? Two hundred of Brooks' men, with Murphy and Van Desandeas leaders', formed'and threat unpil to ootne to Pine Bluff and take the court house, or burn every house in the city. Gen. King White went dowji with eighty-six white and col ored mounted and footmen, and after arriving within ashortdistance of the insurgents, who were at the gin house ou the Ashley place,-he sent forward three of his staff officers to order the Insurgents to disband.. When the in surgents saw the staff officers com ing they immediately V RED A VOLLEY upon them, and orders from While were given to charge on the insur gents. They made a stand at the CornerStoue Church, when the fight began in earnest, but lasted only a short time. Six of White's com mand were wounded and fire killed, and twelve wounded of the insur gents. The Gazette comments as fol lows: "Gen. King White has fought the firtt battle. He encountered two hundred of Brooks' men, or more properly a mob, at New Gascony, Jef ferson county, yesterday ,'and killed, wounded and captured the whole out fit. Thus the war opens and it will extend throughout the State unless the President takes speedy action in tho matter. A few more King Whites would, soon settle the present trou bles." A dispatch. In regard to the trouble in that State, states that Gen. Chas. F. Fagan, a prominent Democrat, who espoused the Liberal cause in 1872, has been one of Brooks'staunch est supporters, and been planed in command of the militia of the State, with the rank of Major General. In assuming command he has addressed the people in a calm and dignified manner counseling law and order and a peaceable solution of their difficul ties. Simultaneously many of the most prominent Democrats have is sued an address advising submission to tho JUDICIAL TRIBUNAL of the State, and strongly endorsing the course and position of Brooks. The guerilla warfare inaugurated l3' Baxter lias met with the severest cen sure from all classes of citizens. S. OP T. The third serai-annual session of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance, of Nebraska, was held in Columbuti on the 15th and IGth ult. At the end of the year 1S72 there were but 12 Divisions in this State, with a total membership of 460. The year ending December 31st, 1873, there were 58, Divisions within the State with a membership numbering 1,871. At the time of the meeting of the JG. D. the number of Divisions was 88 and 3,000 members. These ficuresshow that the organization of the S. of T. in Nebraska is prosper ous and growing. The prosperity of the work seems due principally to the efforts of Jas. R. Carey, employed by the G. D. as State Lecturer. The Grand Division adopted a Con stitution, Code of Laws, and By Laws for the government of subor dinate Division?. The G. W. P. was instructed to have $2,000 copies of them printed at a cost not to exceed $100. They are to be sold to Divis ions at 75 cents per dozen, or $0 per hundred. Specimen copies will be sent to each Division as soon as they are published. The salary of the Grand Scribe is $25 per month. Dr. M. T. Anderson, Grand Scribe, was chosen to represent Nebraska in the National Division which is to meet in Ottawa, Ontario, on the 17th of June. The annual session of the G. D. of Nebraska will meet on the first day of the State Fair, at Omaha, Septem ber 2!)th. at 3 p. m. At the recent session of the G. D. the following plan was adopted to raise money as a propagation fund: The Grand Scribe was instructed to select and respectfully request of ten Divisions to raise by subscription or otherwise $1.50 each per month, ten Divisions $1 per mouth, ten divisions 75 cents per mouth, and the remain ing Divisions fifty cents each per mouth. f The General Conference of the M. E. Cliurch, South, met ut Louisville, Ky., May 1st. An address was re ceived from Great Britain, tendering fraternal greetings and reviewing the fact that the existence of slavery was the leading cause which formerly prevented the English church from seeking intercommunication with the M.E Church South. The address contlued to say: It Is a cause of thankfulness that nothing exists to prevent official intercourse between your general conference aud our own, and we pray that both churches and both countries may be firmly united within themselves by concord and to one another by ainily. The Schuyler Register punches up a cotemporary after this fashion : The managers of the Butler County Press got a little better "scald" on the thing than usual in getting out the last issue : which only serves however to make more transparent its inevita ble typographical error. Its proof readers evidently do not know enough to attach" a "credit" correctly. For heaven's, sake, look at your paper! then at other papers awhile and learn something. The champion liar of Ohio is at this moment, in all human probability, in England. His name is Wood, he is an Euglishman by. birth, and he made a speech in a farmers' meeting in New Market, London, the other day, and told the audience that he could bring from that State any num ber of persons who were willing to work as farm laborers for fourteen shillings ($3.08) per week. How mueh he was paid to utter this enor mous falsehood is the question that naturally presents itself to .the Jq quisitiro mind. State Journal. DAVID LAFOLHETT.. ARRESTED FOR MUitVER LiiHiie School House 10 Tears Ago 1 CHARLEY BAKER KILLED. 1YH0 KILLED TOBE , HAXDEET 1 The following letter to the St. Jo seph. Herald will be read with great interstby people of this locality, or at least tr-ose who resided here when the incidents recalled occurred : Rockport, Atchison Co, Mo April 30th 1874. Mr. James Tate, a wealhty and well known resident of this place, made his appearance this morning, having in charge David Lafolliett, the desparado who murdered, some ten years ago, Charles Baker, a wor thy German citizen of the vicinjy of this town. It appears that Lafolliett was a desparate character, and about tha time of the perpetration of the crime foV which he is now under ar rest, was charged with several acts of lawlessness, including tho murder of another citizen. He is a wagon-maker by trade, aud in the fall of'1804, was living in this Co., in tho bottom below town. He had done a small job of work for his neighbor Charles Baker, with whom he appeared to live on the best terms, At the fall election in 1SG4 they met in Rockport. Lafolliett, as usual, soon got drunk and quarreled with Baker. A few words passed in refer ence to a settlement of 75 cents, which Lafolliett claimed wasdue him for fixing the wagon, when, without any provocation, Lafolliett drew a pistol and shot Baker dead. The lat ter was a respectable farmer, and at the time a soldier in the Union army, at home on furlouirh. The murderer escaped left for parts unknown, and wjh only heard of occasionally in Tennessee, Texas, aud other parts till he fin illy turned up in Montgom ery county. III., where, under requis ition from the Governor of Missouri he was arrested a few days ago by A. H. Brown, Deputy Sheriff of Montgomery county and Mayor of Hillsboro, assisted by Mr. Richard Roberts and Win. Tate, in whose custody he arrived this morning at the Rockport Hotel, was turned over to Mr. Doph, Deputy "Sheriff of Atch ison county. The capture was effect ed near Van Buren. a village of Mont gomery county. Lafolliett was al ways regarded as a dangerous chai acter. He is said to have murdered a man in Nebraska by the name of Handley, and among his other law less exploits of lesser note, on one oc casion, some years' ago, to have waylaid Wm. Tate while on his. way to Rockport to pay his taxes, and robbed him of a considerable sum of money. Lafolliett is a man thirty-four years of age. There is nothing particularly remarkable in his personal appear ance, certainly nothing to inspire the idea of the ruffianly deed of which he is beyond doubt guilty. On the con trary, his manners are mild, aud though evidently an uncultivated man, manifests nothing repulsive in his general air. He claims to have reformed the evi! of his ways, quotesscripture freely calls himself a member of the church, and seems altogether indifferent to the fate that awaits him. While hi breakfast was preparing, he was un handcuffed; and while washing his face, conversed with the by-standers with easy indifference of a man who had nothing upon his mind to ruffle the even tenor of hia life. Thp only reference ho made to his condition was to express the hope that lie would be tried at the enduing term of court, which Judce Kelly holds in this placp. commencing: Tuesday. He ut tered no denial of his guilt. VlATOK. The Rockport Journal In reference to the name matter says : Mr. James Tate arrived at home on Thursday morning hvt, having in charge David La Follet, who killed Charley Baker in the year lSb'I, in a drunken frolic at or n- ar the La Hue school house in this county, and after wards fled ti e county. The arrest was made on requisition on the Gov ernor of Illinois, by Alfred Brown, Sheriff of Montgomery County, and .T-unes Tate. E-q . some 10 miles from Tlillsborro, Montgomery county. Til., where Lafolliett ban iivd for the past four or five years. Mr. Tte informs us that he stood high in the county where he redded as a quiet, peaceable and honored citizen, great ly contrasting the character he hore away from Atchion county, when he left here in 1804. His trial will per haps take place next week. Mr. Washburn, Senator elect from Massachusetts, arrived at Washington on the 1st inst., and was warmly wel comed in an informal manner by many friends at his hotel Ho also had a very cordial reception at the Capitol, in which both Senators and members, without regard to party, participated. Immediately after the reading of the journal, and escorted by Senator Boutwell, he went for ward and took the oath of office. The oath of office was administered by Senator Carpenter, the President of the Senate pro tern. CO CATTY COHBHSSIOKERS.
