EE A correspondent OF the Little
Rock Republican, writing from Fayette-
vile under date of May 9th, walks into
Mr.. BARD, editor of the Echo, and men,
Der Of the Legislature Of that county. 1t
seems that some two months since, that
Bard while at Little Rock employed AR
THUR f. MORGAN to take charge of his
paper, with the understanding that if all
WAS satisfactory when he returned from
the Legislature, that they would enter
into partnership, if not Morgan was
10 be paid for his trouble, etc. The par
ties disagreed and Bard refusing to settle
on Morgan's terms, the case was brought
before a justice court at Fayetteville
The correspondent "Justice writes as
follows -
"As was anticipated, large number
we're in attendance, desirous of learning
Mr.. Bard's true position in this matter
and assure you, sir, they learned it to
their entire satisfaction.
at appeared, in the course ofthe trial
by evidence given by sworn witnesses,
that Bard did not only employ Mr.. Nor
gan to edit the Echo, but that he had
also instructed him what course the pa
per should pursue.
at was proven by testimony that was
not contradcted in a single particular
except by Mr. Bard himself, that Mr.
Bard told Mr.. Morgan, before he left Lit
tie Rock, that ne should go to Fayette
Vile and write on whatever subject he
thought best; that he should give the
carpet baggers hell for, God d--n them
he hated them; that the Republican par
ty was dead, and new party would sool
be started that he Morgan should sc
shape the course of the paper that he
could espouse the principles Of that par
ty that it was not policy to do so now
as by so doing he would lose the public
printing; but that when the proper time
came he must be ready for it.
After fair and impartial trial yer
dict was given for Mr., Morgan; and a,
the case was continued from Saturday
| until Tuesday, thus giving Mr. Bard am
pie time to have proven these charges
false if they had been ofsuch character
we are forced to believe them true as tes
tilted before the jury,
Comment is unnecessary on this occa
sion; but we know we speak the ieeling
of the Republicans Of this country whel
we say that we repudiate Mr.. Samuc
Bard, or any one else who, after bein!
elected by the people to fill an honorabl
position, will thus turn and become al
instrument in the hands of the enemie
of the country in striking a death bloN
to the party that gave him this position
ave think the people of the Stat
should learn ,rho Mr Bard is, that in al
ter life they may shun him as viper
for he has been weighed in the bslanc
and found wanting"

The position of the Enquirer, in ouI

the point in controversy and is also ap
plicable in a measure to the political con

VAN BuREN, ARK, June 5, 1869.
EDITOR VAN BUREN PREss-
Sir: | desire through the columns OF
your valuable paper to yindicate my pri-
vate and public character and interest, in
regard to certain allegations and accusa-
tons of bad JaiM and fraud in my trans
actions as Assessor Of Crawford County,
Arkansas.
Viz: 1t is alleged that made e.rorbi-
tdnt and .fdise assessments of certain
pieces Of property belonging to the fol-
lowing persons:
lst, Dr. II. Pcrnot, one town lot, val
ued by him at 5000, and listed by me at
$4,000.
ID, d. c, Williams, Esq, (agcnt) one
town lot, valued by him at 5000 and list
ed by me at $4,000
3D. +. G Whitesides, Esq, one certain
40 scres Of land valued by him at $40
and listed by me at 800
The above allegations / most bitterly
denounce and deny, and charge as being
wilful torgories, by some person or per-
sons unknown to me, as can be clearly
shown, by referring to the Assessment
Books. They showing change from
the original in different hand and ink.
Also, by referring to the Abstract which
is now in the Auditors Office showing
the amount of taxes to be collected i'm the
County, preparatory to the Collector Civ
ing his bond, And a synopsis of the Col.
lector's Books now in the Auditors office.
The synopsis having a considerable
amount more taxes than the abstract to
be collected
ith, Dr. J. A. Dibrcll, two parcels of
town lots; first valued by the Doctor and
myself at 81 300 each, and so listed and
afterward reconsidered and valued by the
Doctor and myself at $1,000 each and SO
charged on the Assessment Books, by
writing a cipher on the (5) five. But in
making out the books for the Collector.
the valuation was transcribed $500 in
place of $1,000, as it should have been.
9th, 5. G. llanley, Esq, one town lot
valued by him at $3.50 and listed at $3.50, |
which | cannot account for, otherwise
than having misunderstood the valuation
named and so listed it.
The above apparent discrepancies have
been corrected 10y a statement of the facts,
subscribed and sworn to by me before
the County Clerk
lthas been represented to the Governor
that ! have committed frauds on the As
sessment Books, by listing property at
one valuation and changing it to another
And in this connection, | have to say,
that said representations are basely false,
and | challenge the author thereof or
any other person, to substantiate said
charges, or any other accusations Of
fraud, upon my part, on the Assessment
Books. Respectfully.
NJ. w. Walden, Assessor.

fg- Secretary Boutwell, is constantly
in receipt of letters asking the reissue OF
United States bonds that have been los,
or destroyed, The Secretary desires i,
to be understood that the Treasury does
not issue new bonds for those lost, and
that the only course for the owners to
take is to appeal to Congress for the nee
essary legislation authorizing reissue.
From the records of the department II
appears there have been but two cases
where the Secretary has issued duplicates
in place Of bonds alleged to have been
destroyed, and in both Of those the old
bonds were subsequently found and the
government was compelled to redeem
them.
