ARKANSAS’ NEW TROUBLE. cite igen Military Occupation of the State House— Search for Smith by Order of Governor Garland—Positions ot the Rival Con. ae Lrrrie Rook, Nov. 15, 1874, The situation is unchanged here to-day and the “excitement is unabated, A company of Garland militia occupied the State House last night. Governor Garland has sent orders to all com- manders of militia companies in sympathy with ‘his government to hold their commands in readi- ‘Ress to march at a moment's notice. No further arrests have been made. In an interview with Governor Garland to-day he said he would make mo more arrest except Smith and his Secretary of State, Wheeler, and he would find them and make examples of them if he had to search evéry hous ‘in the State. Governor Smitb, believing the ques- ‘tion to be entirely legal, has callea for no militia, sand consequently having no force with which to de- fend himself is concealed. Secretary Wheeler is also mot to be found. Garland’s militia have been wearching for them since yesterday, but thus far twithout succees, It is reported that they are at ‘she United States arsenal. The friends of Smith ‘deny this; but Garland will make a formal demand japon the commandant, Major Wainwright, SLx- ‘*eonth infantry, to-morrow, for their persons, Governor Garland’s friends do not apprehend that ‘the federal authorities will interfere. The friends -of Governor Smith, on the other hand, claim that ‘the President will recognize him and that this “course willbe in entire harmony with his pre- ‘vious action in the Arkansas and Louisiana cases. It 1s expected that a Cabinet meeting will be scalled and definite action taken in the premises ‘to-morrow, In the meantime the citizens of Arkansas stand seghast at her multiplicity of Governors, and still ~aFe not happy. Smith’s Claims Not Recognized by the Subordinate OMictals Elected. Lirrie Roc, Nov. 15, 1874. Colonel J. M. Johnson, Secretary of State under «Governor Baxter, who turned over his office to ‘bis successor under the new constitution, author- izes a denial of the statement from Washington ‘that he, with the other State officers elected with ‘Smith, now recognize Smith as Governor. “Governor” Smith’s Position—He Desires the President to Aid Him to Prevent Bloodshed—Comparing the Louisiana and Rhode Island Cases. LTTE Rook, Nov. 16, 1874, In an interview had yesterday Governor Smith *gaid the condition of affairs in Argansas ts peculiar, and anlike that of Rhode Island or Loutsiana. “I ‘am Lieutenant Governor and cannot exercise the “daties of Governor as long as the Governor per- forma the same. Baxter performed the duties o1 “Governor until the time arrived toturn the office over to Garland. This turning over carried with it Baxter's partisan militia, the executive, legisia- tive snd judicial officers of the government. So you see the moment Garland entered the execu, tive oMice he stood at the head of the State gov- ernment that Baxter had organized for nim. At the time this was done I was absent from the State, and am now presented with the alterna- ive of commencing the organization of a new militia to wage a war and without money or. arms, or sit quietly and see a State government over- ‘thrown by acts that nearly every one concurs in saying are revolutionary, In order to avert blood- ‘shed in the State I have appealed to the President for aid and will rest my case on his decision. “The recognition of me will be following the pre- eedent set in the Rhode Isiand case, and the oust- tng of the Garland government will be following &he precedent in the Louisiana case. “However, the action by the President will ‘amount to a reversal of Presidential action in both of the cases named.” Smith to Establish His Capital at Helena—The Case with Attorney Gen- eral Williams. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 1874. Private telegrams from republican sources, dated Helena, Ark., say military companies are being organized to support the Smith government | and that a report prevails that such government | ‘will be temporarily established at Helena. Senator Dorsey, of Arkansas, who represents | the Smith party, has had several interviews with | Attorney General Williams. Last night a repre- | sentative of the Garland interest called on Mr. ‘Williams and requested him to suspend action on ‘the.question until that side has been heard. Tne Attorney General bas thus far received only Smith’s telegram to President Grant and Smith's proclamation, and will have a conference with ‘the President to-morrow. THE MAINE SENATORSEIP, speaker Blaine Will Not Accept a Nomi- nation—Letter to the Press—He Recom- mends Mr, Hamlin’s Capabilities. | PORTLAND, Nov. 15, 1874, Speaker Blaine has written a letter to the Port- fand Press, to appear to-morrow morning, in response toa paragraph mentioning him as a pos- sible candidate for Senator, in which he states de- cidediy he would under no circumstances accept the Senatorship. He says:—*l am engaged Dy ana accepted the candidacy and elec- tion to serve the people of the Kennebec district as Representative in the Forty-fourth Congress, and from that duty I could not be turned, even were the Senatorship offered me, and of that I have seen no indication’? He speaks eulogistically of Mr. Hamlin, and frankly expresses his deliberate judgment that ‘Maine wouid best consuit her highest interests and honor by returning Mr. Hamlin to the Senate, but denies that he has used or intends to use any in- fuence in his favor. The Press, in its editorial comments, comes out strongly against Mr. Hamlin. THE BUNAWAY PRIEST.

THE NORTHERN INDIANS. the Raising of the National Fiag—An Organization of War—Friendship of the Ogallallas—Removal of the Faw. se Oma, Nov. 6, 1874 ‘The payment of annuities to Northern Indians will take place at Red Cloud Agency about the 16th of November. Already about ten thousand Indians, comprising Ogallallas, Minneconjoux, Cheyennes and Arapahoes and Oncpapas, with afMillating bands, bave concentrated there, They seem well disposed, with the exception of ihe Minneconjoux. These same Minneconjoux brought about the serious trouble at Ked Cloud Agency last February. They thereupon left for the coun- try on the headwaters of the Yellowstone, whence they have but just returned to threaten new com- plications of the situation. THE MINNECONJOUX TROUBLES, It seems that the agent at Red Cloud, Dr. Saville, had made arrangements, with the assent of the Ogallailas and other Indians, toerect a flagstaff @t the agency. To thia the Minneconjoux ob- Jected, and forty or filty of their young men en- tered the agency inclosure a few days since, cut up the flagstam, threatened the agent, and be- haved in so saucy a manner that recourse was had for assistance to the troops stationed at Camp Robinson, in the vicinity. Lieutenant Craw- ford, with Lieutenant Steever and all the avail- aple mounted men of Company G, Third cavairy, Were at once sent to the scene of disturbance. “On the arrival of Lieutenant Crawford at tne agency his command was confronted by about 200 Indians, mounted and armed, ready for battie, 4 BATTLE AVERTED. Lieutenant Crawford dismounted his men and prepared for the fight. Fortunately the efforta of “Sitting Ball’? and several other Ogallalla Sioux chiefs prevatled with the Minneconjoux, and re- strained them from the attack, Lieutenant Craw- ford then moved his men into the agency in- closure, and was accompanied by all the leading chiefs and warriors of the Ogallatias, who ex- pressed themselves willing to defend the agency, provided the soldiers would withdraw to their camp. Dr. Saville, therefore, informed Lieutenant Crawford that the hostile Indians had left, and that his services would be no _ longer required, wnd the latter then with- drew with his men to Camp Robinson. At the time the troops were called for there were but forty or fifty Indians on the agency grounds; but these, thinking alterward that there was to beafight, sent runners to the several Indian camps for reinforcements, so that by the arrival of the soldiers a force of over 400 Indians, by actual count, had assembled at the agency. FRIENDSHIP OF THE OGALLALLAS. This disturbance has proved to the whites that, in case of serious danger, the Ogallallas can be depended upon as friends, if not as allies. Sitting Bull and his band saved the agency last February, and for their conduct then and in this last difficulty he and his people are deserving of the marked consideration of the government. During the continuance of this last disturbance Red Cloud remained passive inside of the agency inclosure, and seemed either to have no control over his people or to be afraid to act in the emer- gency. The Minneconjoux number 3,060 men, women and children, acd have 800 warriors, Of other indians there are at Red Cloud agency about 7,000 and 1,200 warriors. The principal Minneconjoux chiefs are Lone Horn, Roman Nose and White Buil; but these have comparatively little influence with the tribe, which 18 controlled iat an organ- ization, within itself, called the SOciely of the Brave Heart. THE PAWNEES. The Pawnee Indians have made arrangements to give up their reservation in Nebraska and to remove to the Indian Territory. ‘ng reservation contains about 450 square miles, of exceiient agricultural land, lying near the Union Pacific Railroag, about 109 miles west of Omaha. The southeast corner of the reservation touches the railroad at Silver Creek. The Pawnees came originally from the country west of Santa Fé, New Mexico, whence they moved east in of buffalo and other game, A portion, ie Pawnee Piks, or Washitas, located in Southern Kansas, and are now on @ reservation in the In- dian Territory; another portion went north to the country bordering on the junction of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, and are now called Arckareeg: and a large number stopped onthe Republican River, In New Mexico tiose Indians hud no horses, but on reaching the Repup- lican River they encountered and routed a large body oi Cheyennes, capturing their camp ana horses, and [rom that date became dashing and learleas horsemen, At one time they occupied the country from the Yellowstone to ghe Arkansas River; but, being AT WAR WITH EVERY TRIBE ON THE PLAINS, they have become reduced by successive en- counters (0 three small bands—the Arickarees, numbering 400, in Dakota; the Pawnees proper, numbering 2,831, now moving from their reserva- tlon in Nebraska, and the Washitas, numbering 280, now on a reservation in the Indian Territory. These bands speak the same language and ac- knowledge each other as relatives. The sale of the present Pawnee reservation will open to peace and settlement a beauti(ul aad tertile section of country, which has hitherto been the objective point of the Sionx in their horse stealing and marauding expeditions against their inveterate enemies, the Pawnees. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, The United States Fleet in the Waters of Japan. A HERALD special letter from Yokohama, Japan, dated on the 12ta of October, reports as tollows:— The Lackawanna ts at Yokohama. 'I'his vessel is porta | to go into dock and have her screw taken out. It appears that the Navy Department had ordered this vessel to be in readiness to take the transit of Venus party up North. But the Admiral of the station (Pennock) reported pack thas she was not tit or the service, ag she could not depend upon her boilers for steam, Hence the order has been issued, that the screw is to be removed and the Lackawanna is to complete the cruise under sail. ‘The officers are very much disgusted at the order; jor they assert that although the vessel’s ma- chinery is not ia such 4 condition as to enable her to make a long voyage under steam, yet she could slways get steam enough to enter or leave port; or in case of foul weather, to keep her head to the sea, They claim now thatif the screw be taken out it will not increase her speed to any great ex- tent as asatling vessel, while on the otner hand, incase of encountering very bad weather her chances of escaping damage or wreck are reduced toa minimum, as being built fora steamer sne cannot wear or tack like a vessel built originally asa sailer and that even a small amount of steam would be of vast importanve to her, and pernaps be the means of saving the vessel and crew.

An italian Kicked Almost to Death by His Compatriots in Crosby Street, Michael Feno, aged thirty-two years, a native of Italy and a resident in the Italian community that inhabits the tenement house No. 66 Crosby street, was kicked so brutally during a fight in the yard back of that house yesterday afternoon that he may die of his injuries. Michael may lay his mishaps to his ignorance of or his unwillingness to adopt the American custom of “treating.” He attended a pleasant little christen- ing party in his house yesterday afternoon, wWhereat he and several of his compatriots be- came excited with, not the genial, soul-calming wine of his native land, but the re-distilled dregs from the kegs of burly lager beer saloon keepers. Ali the male Italians who were at the party are laborers, and it is their habit, as it {gs also the practice of most other | ,talian laborers, to tilt the kegs placed before beer saloons, and to drain them into their dinner pails, The liquor they thus procure they sell to a brewer in a sinall way, also an Italian, who, having put it through some occult process, resells it to them as a pleasing beverage. It was with this liquor that the guests at Liev grok yesterday were served. Perhaps the host and hostess did not have a sufl- cient supply for their visitors. Anyhow, after a period of jollity, 1t was suggested that some one Of the visitors should treat all the others. Michael Feno was fixed upon as the proper man to do this. He, however, Was unwilling to dispense the two cents necessary to procure @ quart of the de- sired liquor. A dispute arose, in which sever rat of the visitors, arrayed themselves against Michael The settlement of the aim- culty Was adjourning to the yard, so that the sensibilities of the ladies present at the party might not be shocked, and there Ronaldo Aldo and one or two others feil upon the unfor- tunate Michael. They beat und kicked him heartily. Officer Kelly hearing bis cries ran to his rescue, and catching Ronaldo stamping upon him arrested that person. The other men concerned in the affray escaped, Feno was taken to the Fourteenth precinct station house, where a physi- cian having examined him pronounced him dan- gerously hurt internally and administered mor- phine to him. He was then sent to Bellevue Hos- pital, MURDEROUS AFFRAY IN BROOKLYN. An Italian Sailor Stabbed in an Unlt- censed Saloon. A stabbing affray occarred about half-past nine o’clock last evening between a party of Italian sailors, at @ small grocery and liquor store, which is also @ resort for seafaring men as a boarding pouse, No. 82 Sackett street, South Brooklyn. During the altercation Francisco Patella, a native of Italy, was set upon by a runner for the house, one Louis Caretto, who stabbed nim with a huge knife, inflicting @ deep wound in the left thigh, the biade passing near the femoral artery.

The City of Paris About to Contract a $52,000,000 Loan. WHO WILL DISCHARGE THE DEBT? The Difficulty with Spain and the Cost of Prince Napoleon. Paris, Oct. 30, 1874. The city of Paris is about to contract a new loan of $52,000,000, more than half of which is required to pay off a portion of the floating debt and to meet other obligations already contracted. The remainder ($23,400,000) will be expended on public works, and {t 18 to be hoped that some progress wil at length be made with the restoration of the Tulleries and the Hotel de Ville. The loan will be taken up readily enougn, but Paris can hardly bear the $3,000,000 of additional taxation which it Wil necessitate. FRANOR MUST COME TO THE RESCUE and render material aid to the finances of the cap- ital by a vote of the Assembly. It is only fair that France shou!d pay for the losses suffered by Paris Curing the two sieges, Yet France herself is hard pressed and cannot, in the nature of things, avoid an ultimate suspension of payments unless She takes the question of retrenchment seriously in hand. The estimates ior the civil service especially need looking into. It has long been & complaint with Frenchmen that thetr country is fOvergoverned by innumerable functionaries, all Paid, and too many of them having large powers of drawing on the public funds, A republican government once armly seated would probably withdraw the State subzention to the Catholic Church and the other religious bodies, thaséaving between Mfteen and twemty million dollars an- nually. ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC COMPLICATION seems to be threatened, if the news from Santander be true, that @ Spanish gunboat has fired a rife volley at a French merchant ship and subse- quently sent a party to inspect her. This in- cident is the more to be regretted as Marshal MacMahon’s Cabmet is honestly doing its best to observe international obiigations—a colonel and thirty-two om. cers of the Carlist army having just been interned at Bourges and in the neighborhood. To this old town, famous in history as at one time the sole refuge of King Charles VII. against the invading armies of England, the Minister of War, General de Cisséey, has just paid a visit. He was duly shown over acannon foundry, spent a few minutes in the cathedral and then called on the Duke of Alengon, Indeed the Orleans princes are treated with such extraordinary deference by government officials that one almost wonders what they would gain by the so-called restora- tion, that is, the accession of the Comte de Cham- bord or the Comte de Paris to the throne. Not power certainly, of which the king would have very little to spare; it is, moreover, a tradition with Bourbon monarchs not to allow the members of the Royal family mach political infuence. When the Count of Artois (aiterwards Charles X.) wished to take @ part in the councils of Louis XVIIL, Talleyrand interposed, and said to him, “When Your Royal Highness becomes king you will thank me for having excluded the princes of the blood from a participation in your prerogative.” Prob- ably all that the princes hope for by the re-estab- lishment of the monarchy is 4 LITTLE HARD Casu, which these descendants of a hundred kings pecket with infinite grace whenever they have a ckance. The ‘dotations”’ or allowances from the ! civil list to French princes have always been hana. | some, it may be interesting to American readers to know what Prince Jerome Napoleon received under the Empire. He has just issued an address to the electors of Ajaccio, declaring that “he never shared in the ideas, the policy or the hopes of im- perial rule.’? This is perfectly true. His High- ness shared in something much more substantial than hopes and ideas—to wit, A Year, Civil list..... - + $400,000 Salary as a Senator. + 6,000 As Councillor of State.. 6,000 As Knight of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor ore 1,000 Asa General of Division 2,000 (not on the active list) } pce tne a: The Empire lasted eighteen years, so tuat Prince Napoleon realized by his cousin’s elevation the modest sum Of $7,452,000. Nor was this the whole extent of his gains. The Palais Royal, the rental of which cannot be estimated at less than $60,000, was placed at nis absolute disposal, and he was commonly reported to receive sundry allowances for gas which never appeared to be turned on, and for lamplightera who were never paid. Then he was given something like «a bundred thousand dollars’ worth of pre- sents on his marriage with Victor Emmanuel’s daughter. At one time he was Minister for Algeria with a salary of $20,000a year, In short, this man, who is now uttering heroics anout his disinterestedness, netted at least $8,000,000 by the reign of that dynasty which he did everything in his power to thwart. AGAINST THE REVOLUTION. The present government Is evidently determined to crush, If it be possible, the revolutionary in- stinct in Frenchmen. It is a thankless, but one must confess a necessary, task. On the 4th of Sep- tember, 1870, penniless and unscrupulous men ar- Togated to themselves the supreme authority in several of the great towns, made illegal arrests and treated their prisoners with such cruelty that im the indictments recently preferred against some of them it is described as “bod- lly torture.” They expected, of course, that anything would be forgiven in time o/ revolution, and they had no reason to apprehend any un- pleasant consequences irom their scts under a Gambetta or @ Thiers, The prosecutions which are now being conducted before councils of war were not instituted till MacMahon had been some months President; but they are now being fol- lowed up with vigor, and the sentences will strike terror into the lawless for many & day to come. At Marseilles @ barrister has been condemnea to four years’ imprisonment and five years’ suspen- sion; one Savier, @ jailer, to ten years’ imprison- ment, With bard labor, and ten years’ police super- vision; another subordinate official to five years’ hard labor and ten years’ supervision. This se- verity will not have been misplaced if it has the effect of preventing a few Bohemians from assum- ing temporary dictatorships when the next reyo- lution breaks out. M.
