LETTER OF CHAIU.EB NOHDIIOFF TO THE
NEW VOBK ntattlß (OOTBESSED .
TUe reconstruction constitution of
1868, stiltl to have been framed in
Washington, established a oeutml
izecd despotism. The Governor ap
pointed the local officers in counties,
and imd the power to till vacancies.
He appointed judges, collectors and
assessors of taxes, justices of the
peace, prosecuting attorneys, regis
trars of elections, and these appoint
ed judges of elections. The favorite
device of t lie robbers was to create
new counties, the Governor appoint
ing all the officers.
One instance, out of many, will
show how brazenly these creatures of
the Ring carried out their schemes..
Anew county was formed in the
northwestern part of the State. V
sheriff was sent who lived in Little
Rock. This person chanced to own
a farm in the county. The people
chose for the county scat a village
near the centre of the county ; but the
sheriff determined to establish it on
his ow n farm, live miles uway. Ho
and his fellow officeholders manipu
lated the registry lists, but failed to
eliminate a sufficient number of vo
ters’ names, and wheu an election
was held for a choice of three com
missioners to determine on the coun
ty seat his candidates were heated.
He went at once to Little Rock, where
the election was, at his instance, set
aside; new commissioners were tip
pointed, and the court-house, which
cost over $30,000, was actually placed
ou his farm, in spite of the demand
of nine-tenths of the people to put it
in the village where it would be con
venient for the public.
All theso local appointees of the
central government had unlimited
power to steal, and knew it. Indeed,
they were expected to divide their
plunder with the Ring at headquar
ters. They issued county and town
bonds for railroads, they erected or
pretended to erect, new ami unneeded
public buildings, for which bonds and
scrip were issued; they put out scrip
on every jiossible excuse, and kept no
books or records to show t lie amounts
Issued, or stole the records, or in sev-:
erul notorious instances burned down '
the court-houses and destroyed the '
records. They pocketed the green-1
backs paid in by taxpayers, und turn
ed into the Treasury depreciated
scrip. They protected thieves and
swindlers for pay, and they sold jus
tice at. a high price. When the coun
ty scrip became too much depreciated
for their uses, the Supreme Court,
Poker Jack Chief Justice, rendered a
decision making that only receivable
for county taxes ; and when this spec- ]
ulation had served their turn, the Su
iireme Court Poker Jack still Chief
ustiee reversed this decision and
made only State scrip receivable for
taxes.
KKUISTIUTION FRAUDS.
The Governor appointed the regis
trars of election, and they were natu
rally tools of the King. Registration 1
was an imperative prerequisite to,
voting. The law was so framed that
the decision of the I legist far as to : ho
right of a citizen to vote wa< final,
the only appeal King to thcSnqrcmc
Court, which refused to hear such.
va in v, nin 11 i- ins- ii ■ ii ai •••' ii.
Wimt happened was this: is reg
istration went on the partisan regis
trars kept, a sharp eye on the lis.s.
When they were completed they ha i
some days to revise them. On this
time they counted, and judiciously
marked out Democratic names
enough to secure the required major
ity. "If red ink don’t blot them out
take red paint and a paint brush,”
was the order said to have been sent
to our Registrar.
Meantime the colored vote was ma
nipulated to suuUun extent that the
colored people were enticed away
from their avocations for weeks be
fore election day and gathered in
crowds at barbecues ami other camps.
At first the Ring hod a large majori
ty, for they controlled the negroes
and about 20,000 of the old citizens
were disfranchised for participation
in the rebellion. In 187.1 it adopted a
Civil Rights bill, which is as peremp
tory as that which was advocated by
General Uut-lcr. In the same year
they brought forward a bill to estab
lish a "Metropolitan Police.” Six
thousand men were to he appointed
by the Governors to act as a police
over the whole State. It was in effect
to tie a standing army, with power to
interfere in all civil affairs at all
times; to make summary arrests and
to bring those they arrested from the
most distant parts of the Suite to
Little Rock for trial. After prolonged
efforts this atrocious scheme was de
feated in tile Legislature.
WHAT THE INKTANHENT Ol BIIOOKH
MEANT.
It has been the misfortune of Presi
dent Grant that many of ids favorite
enterprises have had upon them the
taint of corruption. The St. Domingo
scheme was a huge speculation ; the
moiety business was a robbery of the
Treasury; the improvement of Wash
ington by his friend Mr. Shepherd
has boon denounced everywhere as a
job; and now, unluckily, the Presi
dent fell into the trap of these Ar
kansas jobbers, and became their
ally. He had forced Brooks out of
the State House in 1874. and in 187.7
he demanded that Brooks should be
forced in again. Now, to install
Brooks as Governor was to continue
the robbers in power, and these,
alarmed for their future, witli a Dem
ocratic Congress at hand, and expos
ure threatened, meant, it is said, tirst
of all, to issue all tli" remaining rail
road bonds, and divide this huge
piece of plunder, amounting to at
least $5,000,000 or probably $7,000,000.
Their swag secured, they were ready
to retire if they must. The tirst ef
fect of the President’s Arkansas poli
cy would have been to saddle the
State with all theso millions of addi
tional debt.
I have called the men who ruled
Arkansas from 1808 to 1874 robbers,
plunderers and pirates. Tho figures
given in this and n preceding letter
abundantly justify this language. Let
me repeat here, briefly, what they
did. I lind. by the State Auditor’s
account for the years 1859 and 1860,
that at that time'thc eostof adminis
tering the State government was
s3o7,flirt for two years, or, roughly,
$150,000 per annum. Making every
fair allowance, it should not have
cost, from 1868 to 1874, more than
twice this sum, or $300,(88) per an
num ; or $1,800,000 in all for the six
years. Butin that period there wn
collected from the people, in taxes,
the prodigious sum of $8,674,000; thp
bonded debt was increased $8,773,00-'t;
a floating debt of scrip, demoralizing
to the community, was added, of $!.-
865,000; and thus these men cost the
State alone, in six years, over $17,-
000,000, instead of $1,804,000, which
would have been a fair charge; and
for this vast expenditure there was
no return, except in despotic govern
ment, broken credit, ruined industry
und a deplorable corruption of public
morals, growing out of a depraved
currency, and unbridled and open
theft in high places. But this still
leaves out the county and other local
taxes, of which I have no record ; and
the county, city, and township debts
an unascertainable total, thought by
the best experts to amount to not less
than $2,500,000 more.
In my next I hope to tell you some
thing of the condition of ttie State as
to peace and security for life, liberty
and property.
