Governor Baxter by q"'? trararU'j in*the Su
preme Cburt. 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

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. Baxter has estab
