tion was adopted:
Resolved, That we re-affirm the action

A Little Bock special says after the
arrest of Jodges^Bennett and Soarlc by
the Baxterites, they were taken across
the river in a skiff aud then to St.
John's College, at the outskirts of the
city. They spent the night there, aud
yesterday morning were put on horses
and in charge of a baud of cavalry, were
taken into the country, and will proba?
bly be kept in the woods. On the heels
of this event, at 5 o'clock, yesterday
morning, State Auditor Wheeler wus
awakened by a knocking at the door of
his residence. He jumped out of bed
and went down stairs, where he saw a
hack at the door. The driver said that
Gon. MoCanany wanted to see him.
Wheeler, not thinking of the oaptured,
said, "Ask him to coma iu," MoCanany
answered back for him to come. He
went out and some men, who had been
stationed with guns on the other three
BiudS Of the house, rushed up and put
him by force into the carriage. He was
driven down to the Anthony House.
They then took him to Baxter's room,
woke Baxter up, and MoCanany said:
"I beg pardon, for acting without or?
ders, u?i I thought it my duty to cap?
ture Wheeler, bring him to you and
make him aoknowledgo you as Go?
vernor; I will do the samo with State
Treasurer Page and Brooke, if you say
bo. Baxter gave orders to release him,
much to MoOanany's disoom Store.
There is some talk of moving his go?
vernment to Arkadelphia and making
-that bis ospital. A son of Judge Ben?
nett received a letter, last evening, from
his father, in which be says: "I suppose
yon know Judge Searle and I wero cap?
tured at Argenta, last night. We are
welt treated and in no bodily danger;
don't know when we will be released."
The letter was received through Gen.
Blocher, of Baxter'? forces, Baxter has
again practically seized the telegraph
office. There are guards posted abont
100 yards away, and they allow do one
to enter.
Mr. Merrill, of Maine, from the Com?
mittee on Appropriations, reported a
bill for the relief of tbe sufferers by the
overflow of the Mississippi, increasing
the appropriation from $90,000 to $150, -
000. Mr. Edmunds moved an amend*
ment, that tbe provisions of tbe bill
shall not apply later than September 1,
1874. Mr. Pease said tbat great desti?
tution existed iu Mississippi, aud tbe
authorities of tbe State were utterly I
unable to afford tbe necessary rolief.
Mr. Aloorn Baid, tbat in affording relief
under tbis bill,, oure should be taken for
tbe proper and judicious distribution of
the food and clothing. Ho alluded to
the telegram iu tbe morning papers,
that the negroes around Memphis weru
now refusing to work, alleging tbat the
Government intended to feed and clothe
them. Tbe difficulty to be apprehended
was tbat tbe labor of tbat whole coun?
try might become demoralized. He
paid that tbe levees of the Mississippi
should have been in conditiuu to
resist the rising of the river. Tbe
people of tbe States of Louisiana
and Mississippi bad boon taxed largely
to construct levees, aud if tbe money
had been properly expended, it would
bave accomplished tbe object desired.
The $5,000,000, if honestly and pro?
perly expended, would bave been suf
fiaieut to protect the State of Missis?
sippi from overflow. Tbe trouble was
tbat the money was squandered by ir?
responsible and reckless parties. Seve?
ral of tbo Counties of Mississippi, in?
cluding tbe County in wbioh be lived,
had boon taxed for legal purposes; so
maoh on every pound of cotton raised.
Boards of Supervisors were appointed
for tbe different Counties, to direct the
expenditure of tbis money. The Board
of Supervisors for tbis purpose in bis
County consisted of four negroes, who
ho believed could neither read nor
write, and one white man, who was auch
that tbe people would sooner have the
meanest uegro that could be found than
have him. The tax-payers had no re-1
sponsibility, uo share in tbe disposition
of tbeir own money, and tbis was tbe
reason why it was squandered uud di?
verted from its legitimate purposes.
Sargent's motion to recommit tbo bill
was then agreed to. Tbe Senate then
resumed tbe consideration of the sup?
plementary civil rights bill. Gordon,
of Georgia, gave notice tfiat bo would
submit an amendment to strike ont tbe
provision of the bill giving all persons
full and equal enjoyment of the common
schools and public institutions of learn?
ing or benevolence, supported in whole
or in part by general taxation.

Little Rock, May 5?Bixtcr denies
that be authorized tbe arrest of tbo
judges, but when St. John's College was
searched this morning, by a sound of
regulars, acting as police, an unfinished
report of their urrest, addressed to Bax?
ter, was found on tbe table where it bad
been loft in tbe baste incident to tbe de?

Three Children Burned to Death.
A distressing accident occurred about
?ve miles from Chesterfield Court
House, ou tho 20th of April, ou tho
plantation of Mr. Peter A. Moore. A
family of colored peoplo, iu the em?
ployment of Mr. Moore, consistiug of a
man, his wife und four childreu, reside
ou tho farm. Iu thu absence of the mo?
ther with tho youngest child, and of the
father, who was at work ou tho farm,
tho house caught on lire and was soon
in ashes, aud three of tho childreu were
burned to death.
Heavy Bain.?Ouo of tho heaviest
rains of this season fell iu this city yes?
terday morning. The streets were con?
verted for the timo into miuiattiro
rivers, nnd pedestrians were few aud
far between. It really soemod as if the
vory flood-gates of tbo heavens had been
opened, aud that wo were about to have
a second .deluge. The rivor measured
twenty-four feet two inches at tho
bridge at 7 o'olock yesterday oveuing,

There was a drenching rain during

Mr. Edward Bowue, au old citizen of
Cheraw, was found dead iu his bed last
Friday morning. Foul play is suspect?
ed, and a post mortem examination

Squire Wm. M. Martin, of Fairfield,

The oontioued rains interfere serious?

Owing to bad crops, tbo balance of
trade baa been sadly ngaiust Franoe for
tbe past year. Tbe payment of the
German war debt was suob a financial
undertaking that it extorted from tbe
whole civilized world as much amaze?
ment as praise. Meantime, an effective
army of over 400,000 fighting men bas
been withdrawn from productive iudus
try, disciplined, equipped and main?
tained upon a war footiug. Yet iu tbe
face of these enormous outgoes, thanks
to a system of finance based upou tbe
sound principles of political economy,
tbe Bank of France is already strong
enough to undertake partial redemption.
Tbo five franc notes issued during tbe
war aro already superseded by silver,
and the twenty franc rotes are now be?
ing redeemed in gold Tbe bank has
accumulated a reserve of 800,000.000
Tranes, in tpito of coin payment for
breudstuffs, and doubtless will soon an?
nounce its ability to meet u!l dorn ruds
in gold and silver.
; Tjib Twin Relic.?Mormonism lifted
I its head in the House of Representatives
. for a moment yesterday, on tbo report
I of the Committee ou Elections tbat a
I certain Mormou delegate was properly
\ returned from Utah, but that the com?
mittee, deemed it right for the House to
investigate whether tbo gentleman was
a pnlygutnist, und'whether, if so, be is!
I eligible to sit iu Congress. Tbis iovitu
tiou to face tbe music on so important a
poiut is not relisbod, however. Con?

now make much money or much politi
cal capital out of the Mormons.

A Naples tax-collector was recently
arrested aud tried for absconding witb
3200,000, and was acquitted upou tbe
grounds tbat tbe money belonged to tbe
people, and as he was ono of tbe people
be was part owner of it, and it would be
absurd to punish a man for stealing what
belonged to him. When a tax-collector
in tbis country steals snob an amount be
goes unpunished, for tbe simple reason
tbat a man witb $200,000 in bis pocket
is too much of a gentleman to be an?
