How Arkauans W JH*vcinril. 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. Charles Nobdhoff.
