inventory of the candidates for the Detn-
oeraticuomination. We know that the

An A tannins HUti- «r A flairs iu Arkansan.
The artiele which we copy below, from
the Little Rock Times of the Kith inst.,
will servo to show how well the Radioala,
through their tools the carpet-baggers,
have succeeded in “organizing hell” in
Arkansas. The Times is a Republican
paper, but is opposed to the present State
Administration, and favors the election of
Greeley and Brown as tho only means of
getting rid of the kind of rule to which
Arkansas is subjected and bus been sub
jected for the Inst six or seven years.
It is practically a military despotism, in
which ruffianism and brutality lords it at
will over the peoplo, respecting neither
personal nor property rights. It has well
nigh driven portions of the people of
Arkansas to desperation, and should the
present effort for their deliverance fail,
there is no telling what measures the
people may bo compelled to adopt for
their own protection. Let the people of
tho South, while reading this report of
the outrages of Radical carpet-bag gov
ernment in Arkansas, sustained by Federal
bayonets, boar in mind tho emphatic de
mand of the Cincinnati platform for * ‘local
self-government for the States," and Mr.
Greeley’s bitter denunciations of carpet-
hag usurpation and tyranny, repeated last
woek at Portland, Maine:
From tfi« Utile Dock Times, luth.
The Pope County Trouble.—From late
advices wo learn that the public mind is
still agitated, and that many of tho best
citizens of that county are fleeing from
their homes, and that armed bands of ma
rauders aro now scouring the county.—
Citizens aud travelers nro stopped upon
the highway, and any article of value tak
en from them.
Pope county contains square miles
®f territory, and is one of the best coun
ties in the State ; and, unless prompt ac
tion is taken, tho whole county will he
desolated. It has a population of 11,000
people, and there are not more than two
hundred radicals in the county. Vet,
these two hundred seek to intimidate, and
nhow what they know about plundering
in the rear of the army r aud then threaten
the people with tho vengeance of militia
nnd other murderers and robbers.
Governor Hadley is directly chargeable
with tho state of atfsirs that now exists.—
lie went to that county, ordered all citi
zens to go home and luy down fheir arms,
which they did—his militia to return
wnat arms, horses and goods they had
ntolen—all of which his militia did not
do; but Governor Hadlej’, immediately
on bis return, sent forty stand of arms,
with which to murder the innocent peo
ple, and to protect his worthless robber
adherents, and allow them to further iu-
snlt and rob them.
The monstrous and fiendish crimes of
which Governor Hadley stands convicted,
in New York and Minnesota, sinks into
insignificance in comparison to the great
io P-
outrage he is now perpetrating
county. He says he can ana
, __ Pope
j.. — wiil hurl
two thousand men into Pope, io forty-
eight hours, and says he will do it, unless
the citizens submit to his cut-throats. We
tell him to his teeth, that if he sends them
there, they will be sent to hell; on short
notice, and His Excellency will not, as
usual, be among the rear guard. We ad
vise the neighboring counties to arm, and
to resist any unlawful aggressions made
upon themselves, and at ail hazards, if
the rights of their friends and neighbors
in Pope county are invaded to march at
once for their protection.
This may sound like bnneombe. The
cowardly practices of the State Govern
ment, io intimidating the people, and
threatening them with war and rapine,
and then carrying it into execution with
out excuse, have taught them a lamon
which no subterfuges of Mr. Hadley can
conceal. We want peace. We want har
mony. And we tell Governor Hadley
thAt the people have sworn to have their
rights if it takes the last drop of blood in
tht Minstrel party.

The Savannah papers report the proba
ble sucosse of the effort to establish a
cotton factory in that oity. Mr. Thorny

have been subscribed. We are gladta

We greatly mistake if the Democratic
party does u.ot pay dearly for staking at
the outset of this campaign so law a key
as “Anything to beet Grant." There are
some Democrats who are Democrats upon
principle, and who believe in adhering to
principles whether they be voted up or
voted down .—Free Press.
Commenting on the above, that sterling
Democratic paper, the Manchester (N. H.)
Union; utters the sentiments of true
Democrats North and South,when it says;
“We el aim to be one of that sort of Dem
ocrats, and-if the support of Mr. Greeley
required any abandonment of principle,
we would not support him. We have
never changed any opinion relating to
what my be called Qouatitutionol politico
Twenty years ago. we believed that the
State should exercise, without interfer-
etice or cavil, all the rights they were en
titled to under the Constitution. We be
lieve the same to»day. We believed then
that this right most be reoognized and re.
spected, or trouble wonld ensue. We
were not disappointed. We believe the
same now, and we understand that Mr.
Greeley is pledged l>y his platform and
his letter, to protect all the States equally
in the exercise of their constitutional
rights. This is why we support him.
“Because Grant has not done it, is why
wo oppose him. Every Houthern State
and every Soutberu man is to-day entire,
ly at the mercy of the President. They
have no rights which he it bound to re-
sped : and because he intends to hold the
whites of the South in subordination to
the blacks, aud both to the oontrol of a
gang of carpet-bag robbers, and the whole
as an appeudage to si party—wa could
waive, if it were necessary, some less vi
tal principle “to beat Grant." But it is
not necessary. We are simply called
upon to bury personal prejudices and en
mities, io the support of Mr. Greeley;
and wo should be acoursed if we hesitated
to do it in the presence of snob perils.
“We are nflaid the Free Press does
not comprehend the situation. The ship
is in the bands of pirates, who will tram
ple upon everyth ug sacred to perpetnntc
their power. They have wantouly robbed
tho South of more tbau $200,000,000
within the last four years, and we sincere
ly believe it is the intention of some of
them to force the whites to leave thoso
States, that negro governments may en
sue, whereby the reigning dynasty of
thieves may perpetuate their power, not
only over those States, but the whole
oountry as well. There can be no peace,
no security, no prosperity, no hope or
confidence in the future until honest men,
capable men, patriotic men, suoeeed
the Grants, Camerons, Mortons, Nyes,
Chandlers and Ben Butlers iu the admin
istration of the government. We believe
Mr. Greeley to be suoh a man, and that
ho will call such men aronnd him.
“The koy-uote of this campaign is jus-
TICE, LAW, EQUALITY and I'KACE. Not 006
of these can bo secured with Grant; all
will be with Greeley."
Hallork and Kimball -DevelopMenta I'romUcd.
We find in the Griffin Actus of Satur
day affidavits mode in New Haven, Conn.,
ou the 26th July last, by II. I. Kimball
and George Cook, in whioh they oontra-
dict tho evideuee of E. L. Jones, Cashier
of the Georgia National Bank, given be.
fore a Committee of the Legislature, to
the effect that Kimball bad advised Jones
“to regard the account of the State with
the Bank as one and the same with the
account of H. I. Kimball, II. I. Kimball
A Co., Sohaub &. Lawton, or with the
personal account of K. B. Bullock."
Kimball says that these several accounts
were kept separate and distinct on the
books of tho Bank, and no amount could
bo transferred from one to the other ex
cept upon proper checks, Ac.
The reporter of the Aetrs says : “The
affidavit of Kimball and Cook fortify the
olaitu of the State agaiust the Georgia Na
tional Bank and throw more light upon
tho lease question, and other important
mattera.”
He also says:
I am informed that when the suit of
the State against the National Bank oouies
off, Kimball and Cook will both ho here
to give their testimony before the Court
in person. Indeed, if what I hear from
several sources is true, and I have no rea
son to doubt it, II. I. will retnrn to At
lanta at no distant day, and some very
strange and startling developments, not
anticipated or suspected, by the sagaoious
Investigation Committees" will soon be
made.
It is not advisable to say more at pres
ent : but light will be thrown on many
dark places. The truth will be proclaim
ed, though many be badly hurt by it.
The public demand that facts, without
regard to personal or political considera
tions should be given, let condemnation
fall where it will, and the readers of the
News may rest assured that your corres-
poudent is on a trail which will cause
some heavy squirming among those who
now arrogate to themselves “all the vir
tues of the Gods."
A dispatch from Washington states that
the President has requested the State
Department to fnrnish a Radical commit
tee with a copy of all the * ‘scandalous re
ports" made to the Department concern
ing Cassius M. Clay while Minister to
Russia, and Gen. Kilp&triok while Minis
ter to Chili; also that Gen. Banks’ disas
trous Red river expedition is to be shown
up officially. These gentlemen all sup
ported Grant's Administration until re
cently, and these “scandals" were denied
by the Radicals. But now they all sup-
port Greeley.

“That at the instance of tho movor of

members supposed by him to be guilty of
the offense wore summoned before us:
and upon a full investigation of tho cases,
we are satisfied tho charge so far os they

groundless. Two of this number have
not even drawn tho full amouuts to which
hen it is remembered at the last ses
sion of this General Assembly, the mover
of this resolution, was publicly reprimand
ed at the Bar of this House for the like
offense, which he gratuitously charges
upon others, we regret to say that wo are
irresistibly ihjvou to the conclusion that
in thuriffoiugt he .was actuated by a spit it
of malice an" a desire to throw a mellow
light over his ow n criminal transgressions.

CHARLES L. FROSTS TESTIMONY.
The committee, Messrs. W. D. Ander
son, Head and Lang, appointed to inves
tigate the alleged suppression of material
testimony by C’hnrles L. Frost (President
Brunswick A Albany Uailroad) before the
Bond Uominitteo, aud tho withholding of
the saiuo from the volume of printed
evidence submitted by said committee,
reported :
That tho act of the General Assembly
of December 9, 1871, by virtue of whfaii
suid committee was appointed, specially
charged said committee to investigate the
history of said bond as to tbe illegal and
fraudulent issuance aud negotiation of tbo
same. Tbo evidence of said Frost not
included in the printed evidence submit
ted by tho Bond Committee, docs not
illustrate that issue. The evidence was
not material. For that reason, and the
further reason that the committee sought
to print nothing but material testimony,
so as not to incur any unnecessary ex
penditure, a portion of suid Fyant's testi
mony was not printed.
Maid testimony was not suppressed but
wns loft by the committee on tile iu the
Treasurer a office subject to the inspec
tion of -members yf the legislature. Its
temporary absence was accounted for
satisfactorily to your comiuitteo. It was
taken out to be copied.
Your committee will add thnt they wero
sensibly impressed with the idea that tho
testimony of suid Frost is justly subject
to very severe and unfavorable criticism.
