10 ARKANSAS. | Review of the Troubles of the State. | THE ELECTIONS OF 1872-3. | Reminiscences of the Greeley Split from | the Republicans. } BROOKS-BAXTER ELECTION. | THE Accession of the Garland Admin- | istration. EFFECT OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE | Lite Rock, Feb, 10, 1875, When the news reached here, on the Gih inst., that four out of five of the House Committee to in- vestigate the condition of affairs in Arkansas had reported in fayor of the eXisting government it | can be well imagined that it was the cause of | great rejoicing. Enthusiasm knew no bounds and the glad tidings were disseminated throughout ‘he State. All branches o! industry have been awaiting tuis issue with impatience and anxiety, knowing that the wellare of Arkanyas was involved tn it. It Was, then, with a sense of great relief that the People believed that they had at last been vindi- cated and a new and prosperous era was opening beiore them. The first taformation received of a Feliable character, which led 10 fears that the af- fairs of Arkansas were stillin very great qincer- | tainty, was contained in the Washington spectal of the 4.h, foreshadowing the Message of the Presi- dent presented to the Senate on Monday, the 8th inst, ‘that he should agopt suck a policy m the face Of the recent elections, and tp direct conflict with the majority report of the Congressional Com- mittee, among the signers of which are two re- | pudiucans, and one of them its chairman, seemed Qitogether too preposterous for credence. The unexceptionadle reiiacuity of your despatcues, however, caused much disquietude and uneasi- bess, but the worst tears were not realized till tue wires brought the remarkable document which Was latd betore the Senate on the 8th imst. Your Washington correspoadent was correct in every particuiar—not oniy as to the general tenor of the Message, but even to the very argument His Ex- veliency would use as the pretex: ior interference with the Garland government, an argument re- Markabie alike for its absurdity and arrogance. dt 1s Impossible to give an idea of the political Biiuation 10 Arkansas now Without first taking a retrospective glance at the causes which have led to the present results. 1 will make this as brief | as possibie. When the Convention provided for | by the reconstruction acts met it was largely Tepublican, and a majority of the members be- longed to the class since known as “carpet- | baggers,”” though most of the men in that body | now thus designated were men who had settled im the country and were pursuing tveir various avocations in live as lawyers, merchants, farmers, | &c. The reconstruction measures gave them political life, and for the first time—at least here— | they entered the political arena, The old Gemocratic leaders, disfranchised as most of them were, undertook to prevent reconstruc- tion by the passive policy—by taking no part im the election—and only succeeded in mak- {ng the Convention almost unanimously republi- can. When the election for the officers provided lor by the constitution was ordered these disiran- | cussed politicians kept the majority of the people from voting, aud the resuit was that ali tne State and county oficials were repubdiicans, most of | them being of the new comers. Tuc republicans soon quarveiied among themseives, and in 1872 Brooks, one oi the abiest among them, headed a faction which declared against Clayton and the administrations, both State and national, and Brooss was nominated for Governor, the Convention waich nominated bim indorsing Greeley to secure the democratic vote. Toe Democratic State Convention indorsed the Brooks ucket, The Clayton wing of the repuolican party nominaved Baxter and indorsed Grant, Unoer the constitution of 1868 all those denied the right to hold office by the reconstrac- tion acts Were not permitted to vote, and there Was a@ stringent regulation law which gave the registrars almost absoiute control or the voting tranchise, These registrars and the judges whom | they appointed were ail in the interes: 0: Baxter, and the iormer dented the right ot sufrage to thousands wuo were legally entitied to vote, while many of the Jatter stuffed ballot boxes and com- mitted irauds Of every character to secure the election of Baxter. But even then, after the ree turus were made, it was ound that Erooks was elected, and the Secretary Oi State, with baxter’s connivance, if not assistance, had them changed, to show a differeat result, and BAXTER WAS DECLARED RLECTED | by the President of the Senate, whose duty it 1s made by law to open the returns io the presence of both houses of the Generai Assembiy.

How does the ordeiing of a State election act upon the republican characier of the State in- | stitutions? Undoubtedly the existence of a purpose to change the republican tustitutions of a State into anti-republican institutions is sufficient rea- son Jor Une inter.erence of Congress against those Who entertain such purpose, whether they are State oificers or private cuizens; but it willnever do to say that a disputed election, or a delective title to a State ollce, constitutes of itself or of itself proves the existence of such a purpose. On that assumption there mignt be an election ordered and supeniotended by Congress in some State on almost any day tu the year; anu the right of sel government, which 1s tue basis of tne republican form, would be entirely swept away, because there would be a power that could at any ume | come 10 and take out of the bands of the people of the State the means of correcting any detects in the machinery of taeir State governments.
