Henntor Spraguc, of Rliotlc Inland, is the only New England Senator who has vote l with the West nnd South on the financial question, and it is announced that the at tempt of a leading New York bank to force him into bankruptcy is intended as a pun ishment for his disobedience of the money power.

TUo latter court rendered a rerdict that the courts of tlio State had no power over a centered election for the office of Governor, an l it was generally regarded that the matter was settled so far as the courts were concerned. Tho fcogislaturojn 1873 opened tho returnoI and declared Bax ter elected. Nothing more was thought of the matter particularly until a few days ago, when the attorneys of Governor Baxter de sired that the ease in the Circuit Court be taken up on a demurrer, with the object of disposing of the same. An ud Jerstanding was then had that the demurrer should be submitted and argue 1 next ?e.-k. On Mon day, during the absence of Jti Iges Knglisli ami Compton an 1 the attorneys of Governor Baxter, Mr. Whippcr, the attorney of Brooks arose and stated that it had been agreed be tween himself and the counsel of Governor Baxter thattlio demurrer to the jurisdiction of ilie court yliould be submitted. 2'h>*< al though iu the absence of Governor Baxter's attorneys, was thought nothing of at the ' time, but yesterdaj* morning, abo-..t 11 o'clock when there were but few persons in the court-room,-nn l neither of the Governor's counsel"present, Judge Whytock announced his decision, overruling the demurrer, and none of Baxter's counsel being present to answer or m-ivc fjr an appeal' a jul?emeui of ouster was is*ued and the writ plaecd in tlie hands of the sheriff. Iu live oiinutes froiu that time an armed ban 1, headed by Brooks, were in the governor's office de manding possossiou. The governor declined whereupon 'forcible possesion was taken, and guards placed at all entrances to the office. In the meantime, Gen. Oatterson. who claimed to act as Brook's adjutant-gen eral, broke in the door of armory, in the same building, and took posession of about one hundred stands < f arms, Adj. Gen. .Strong, of Gov. Baxter's staff, refusing to give up the ke\.?, although surrounded by armed men. Gov. Baxter refused to be cjectcd except by force, when some of brook's men took 'hold of him and led him out. Since that time, Brooks has had possession of the Rtateliouse. Gov.
