LrTTLE Rock, May 10.
There is no attempt to do any
busiues?. Women and children
living in the vicinity of tlio State
House have moved away. The
clergymen of the city have called
on the people to unite in services
to-dasy to God to avoid bloodshed
and see that right prevails.
Ail the armed men found in the
Metropolitan Hotel yesterday were
ordered out, and Coloqfl Rose
placed guards at the hotel. Nearly
enough members of the legislature
have .arrived to make a quorum in
both hoiues. Arrangements have
been made for the legislature to
meet in one of the town halls out
side of the limit of the State House.
Governor Baxter has received
several companies to-day to re-in-force
him, and now has consider
able force in the city.
Baxterites caught a negro up in
the city this afternoon and clubbed
him over the head, 'searched him
for arms and then left him. Both
siJes are very vigilant. ' The United
States troops are ready for any
emergency by having stationed a
look-out on the top of the City Hall.
The Baxterites have erected barri
cades of cast iron pipeson the river
banks. Baxter has been receiving
reinforcements all the afternoon.
Theie is great cheering as they
come in. Some sort of fight is
probable.
Colonel Rose, commanding the
United States troops, has directed
the State House party to turn over
the steamer Hattie, to her owners.
This order was to be executed by 7
o'clock this morning. Col. Brooker,
with asquad of State Houmj troops,
boarded the steamer, and scuttled
her. She sank to the hurricane
deck. Everything of value was
taken off before she sank. Gen
eral King White arrived from
Pine Bluffs to-day, with 200 cav
alry, to reinforce Baxter. He has an
equal number of infantry, who are
expected here to-night.
JJaxter was rcluforced to-day by a
company from Humstcad, and an
other from Lone Oak county. The
Baxterites have planted a seventj--four
pounder on the river bank in
the rear of Elm. .street, between
Markhamand Scott streets, com
manding good view of the State
House. Everything has been quiet
to-day, but the lines are sticktly
drawn up, and very few persons are
allowed to pass in or out of them.
The following document has been
sent to the president:
We, the undersigned, members of
the legislature of this state, have
come here to meet, under call of
Gov. Baxter, to-morrow, and we
wish to meet and settle the troubles
now existing here, as the country
requires it, and wo respectfully ask
the protection of the genoral gov
ernment while we meet and delib
erate. We hold that this matter
should not be postponed, and all
that we can do to have a fair and
honorable adjustment shall be done,
and unless w e are protected there
may be blood sljed here in a very
short time, and the consequences
no one can tell.
We are well satisfied there will
be a quorum of the legislature pres
ent to-morrow under the call of
Governor Baxter, and we are satis
fied that the quorum would bo here
now were it not for unwarranted
citizens and suppression of trains on
the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad necessarily delaying mem
bers of the legislature from north
western portions of the State.
Signed by a number of senators
and representatives.
A copy of the aflidavit made by
Lieut. Summerhill, who was one of
Baxter's forces who arrested Judges
Bennett and Searle, giving some
details thereof and subsequent cir
cumstances, has been received here.
It is sworn to by Associate Justice
Stephenson of Arkansas Supreme
Court. Summerhill says that upon
the evening on which the judges
were arrested he received orders
from General Brochen to keep them
out of the hands of the United
States solders or Brooks' at all haz
ards and not permit them to be
rescued aliw, and afterwards Jg&rRs
od from an authority which he had
confidence in, that they would bo
asssassinated between that time and
day light, whereupon hebegan to
plan a scnomo pi escape, toe par
ticulars of 'which have been pub
lished. He aho says he has reliable
information that tho officers of
Baxter's force have received orders
to shoot him (Summerhill) on sight,
and Is advised by his intimate
friends, and thinks he cannot live
longer in the State without armed
protection because of the efforts ho
made to save the judges.
Dispatches were received here to
night by the friends of Baxter, and
signed by forty members of tho
legislature, stating thero would be a
quorum of the legislature to-morrow,
although Brooks' adherents
wero"doing all they could to prevent
it by tearing up raijs n tno ort
Smith railroad. Ijlspatchps to the
governmenthave also been received,
feigned by a great maqy members of
tlpj legislature, ehowjng that they
are 'apprehensive of trouble, and
asking for military protection.

Gen. Churchill has given orders
to those living on streets near the
State House to movp out, as he was
going to bombard it, and would
probably damage to adjacent houses.
Occupants are moving out.
It is rumored that Gen. Churchill
brought a cannon ball, fired this
morning from across the. river, to
Col. Rose and demanded that he
should take the gun. The general
impression, however, was that only
blank cartridges has been fired.
The steamer Hattie is barricaded
with cotton bale, logs, wood and
planks.
Col. Brooker's command, after
the fight, formed and marched back
to Carlam, got on the train and re
turned to the city. They marched
across the railroad bridge and down
Markham street to their quatters.
There was much excitement in
town on their arrival.
The steamer Hattie, with the
dead, wounded and prisoners on
lward, was sighted about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. She steamed up
to the back of the State House and
moored there. The boat is perfectly
riddled with shot. Houston, the
pilot, when going up was protected
in tho pilot houso by a barricade,
but as the current took the boat
over he became exposed and re
ceived a wound, from the effects of
which he died in an hour.
After the arrival of the boat Doc
tors Dale and Deball went on board
and attended to the wounded. Bax
ter's forces, commanded by Colonel
Letafield, were armed with muzzle
loaders. Brook's men were armed
with breech-loaders. Col. Letafield
was in command of 150 colored
men. ThejT fought well and pre
vented the boat from going up the
river and attacking Fowler's left.
Most of Baxter's party were young
Southerners of good families.
The utmost excitement prevails
in town. A figlit occurred just five
miles above Natural Steps. An at
tack on the State house js expected
to-night. Baxter has extended his
jdeket line. Jackson Blackman,
one of Brooks' militia, died at the
depot from the effects of a wound.
Edward Houston, whose clothes
were riddled with shot, says he
told his brother who had command
of the boat, that he had bettor turn
baok wbpn halted, or they would all
get killed,
Baxters men who escaped took
their arms with them. They are
credited for bravo fighting. The
sides and deck of the boat
were covered with blood;
some of the prisoners admit
that they went out to fight, and said
that thoy fired first, and found
no fault with Brook's men. The
Baxterites aro now at work making
scaling ladders, and thero will be
troublesome times here before
Monday.
The casualties on Baxter's side
were Frank Trimers, shot in the
temple, being instantly killed ; Sam
Hurston, captain of boat, shot
through the lung; Capt. Mercer
shot in the breast and Jog and will
probably die in hour ; S. B. Lehigh,
shot in the leg. Sam Houston
jumped oil the pilot house to get
some water for the pilot and broke
b leg.
On Brooks' side, Jackson, (color
ed,,) of company B. was shot in tho
spine mortally, and captain of com
pany C, in the left breast.
All the wounded on Baxter's side
aro whites, and four or five were
taken prisoners.
Dr, Dealos went on tho boat from
-Lame hock as surgeont and atteno
ed the wounded, Tho figlit, from
all accounts, was a very severe one.
A rumor was rife on the street last
night that an attempt would be
made to capture the pppitentjary
and make it a fortllieq stronghold

A small detachment of United
States troops were sent thorp tp pre

It is stated that the lease of the
Atlantic and Great Western Bail
way to the Erie company was com
pleted yesterday. The Atlantic and
Great Western is to be taken' just as
it stands, with rolling stock and'all
appurtenances, and be run t and
managed by the Erie management.
The rent for the rolling stocky etc.,
is thirty per cent upon gross re
ceipts, leaving seventy per cent for
running expenses. The lease'is for
one hundred years. Competing
lines of railway from Chicago to the
East have advanced the rates of
freight transportation 5 cents per
hundred pounds. The advance has
been forced by the Erie and New
York Central to drive freight to
the lake steamers owned by these
roads. The advance Is in the inter
est of these roads and against the
interest of the Pennsylvania road,
which is an all train route.
WAsniXGTOX, May'9
The House Committee on the Pa
cific Railroad have unanimously
agreed to report and recommend
the passage of bill directing the Sec
retary of the Treasury to demand of
each of the Pacific Railroad Compa
nies the immediate payment of the
5 percentjannum of their respective
net receipts as required by law, anil
which is to be paid over to the Gov
ernment and applied to tho liquida
tion of interest on their bonds. The
bill will also contain a provision di
recting the Attorney General to
commence proceedings to enforce tho
payment of this 5 per cent.incase
the demand of the Secretary of the
Treasury is not complied with.
The legislation of last Congress
merely authorized the attorney gen
eral to commence suchs proceed
ings. This bill proposes to enact
positive requirement to effeot the
same object. Representlve Hough
ton is a member of the Pacific rail
road committee, and has made a
special study of this jailroad ques
tion. It is his opinion that under
the contract the .interest on the
bonds is not due, but that the five
per cent, is due, and should be paid
over to the government.
The committee on war claims has
agreed to give two thousand dollars
to Mrs. Thayer, of New York, one
of the most noted nurses during the
late war. She attended the sick
and wounded of the battles of sec
ond Bull Run, South Mountain,
Antietam, etc. Among those she
attended after the bUttlp ot Antie
tam was Gen. Hooker. She re
mained in Washington until the
close of the war, ministering to the
wants of the soldiers and, after as
sisting them with her own means,
she is now advanced in age and in
destitute" circumstances.
Ottawa, Ont., May 9.
The Government proposition for
the construction of the Canadian
Pacific railroad, is as follows : It is
to be in four sections. First, from
Georgian Bay to tho wastern end of
Lake Superior; socond, to Red
River; third, to a point between
Fort Edmunton and the foot of the
Rocky Mountains; fourth, to a point
on the British Columbia coast. One
of the branches to be built is to
run from Fort Garry to Pembina.
The gauge of the road is to be our
feet, eight and onehalf inches.
Every contractor is to prove thathc
is worth' one thousand dollars for
every mile of his contract, and de
posit 25 per cent, in money. Land
for the road is to be laid out in al
ternate blocks of twenty miles, in
all 20,000 acres per mile, with from
three to six miles frqntage on the
road. Tho Government may also
subsidize branch lines at $10,000
per mile.
The subject of the shortest route to
Europe Is occupying the attention of
committee of the House and several
witnesses have been examined.
One Col. Farrlne, hydragraphic en
gineer says the only winter port on
the St Lawrence is Passepediac on
Bay De Chaleurs, and is more elegi
ble than Shippegon, or even Louis

Free " traders and protectionists
had a free discussion to-night.
Strong arguments were adduced in
favor of more protection, but the
free traders seemed to have the best
of it.
The House will, according to the
Premier, break up about the 25th of
May.
A report is cii-nT"nero thnt tbe
