F..ud! Fraud e!

The election in Arkansas, was one Sc
rics of fraud from one end Of the State
to the other We have not heard from
a County, where the high handed out
RACES of Powell Clayton's minions are
no. ade boldly manifest. The Arka-
delphia S.aadard, tells, below, how Shat
County was outraged;
The election at this place passed of
very quietly, and no one, so far rs we
have heard, has found any fault with the
manner in which it was conducted. tbs
true that several negro boys voted who
were not over eighteen years OF age, but
then they had their registration papers
and the managers had no right to refuse
them, even if they wanted to, which they
didn't The election at this box was the
fairest that has been held here since the
war, But since the election the ring at
this place has been guilty of the most un
heard of ou.rages in the manipulation OF
tho ballot from Missouri township. In
this township there are but sixty eight
registered voters, yet the ring has tam
pered with the ballot unit! they have run
up the vote to four husdred and sixty
seven, with twenty reform votes With
this outrageous fraud the Radical ticket
will be between two and three hundred
The returns from that township were held
back until they found out how many
votes were needed to elected their ticket,
and they made their count accordingly.
The registration books had not been
filed. and they could add such names as
weuld correspond with the poll books OF
the township. This is the most stupen
deus fraud We have ever heard of being
perpctra,ed anywhere. 1t beats the bal
lot box stuiling in Hot Springs county
and at this place in 1870 Here there
only a little over three hundred votes
$ uiTed, while there were over four hun
dred, or over five times as many as there
were voters in the entire township. Can
such things be in Republican govern.
ment without exciting the fears Of every
thinking man?

The Evidence.

We charged last week. that the Reform par
81 had been swin,lled out of the victory In
this County. Already has the evidence accu-
mulated to satisfy the most doubling Of this
fact. In Mis- tawaship Joseph Brooks had but
l79 votes. We have now the sworn afidaNits
Of over 200 Reform VOTERS. and the worN has
but just begun, that they. cast their votes for
him. This of itself is sufficient to satisfy any
honest disposed man. but II will not be left
there Van Buren, cast nearly 400 votes for
the RcferH ticket; and we think the end will
show this result although there are some that
cannot be reached to obtain their testimony
to this end We are not astonished that men
figuring in this crime, hang their heads like
sheep killing dogs.

+" Honest Hen for Office.

Mr.. EDIroR:-
Can you tell us whI it was that the places
of holding the elections In Jasper and Rieh-
land Township, wer, changed on the eve ol
the late election? Do not the facts and cir
cumstances connected with the transaction
stamp it as the resntofa deliberate conspira-
ey TO defraud a ma jority-ofthe voters OF these
Townships out of their votes? The County
Court, which made these changes, we believe,
was composed OF JOSIAH HARRELL, Judge, IL.
l.. HOLMAN andJANEs VI. WRIGHT, Justices,
JAMES A. LocKHARr, Clerk, and j. +. GRADY,
Sheriff. Did any one fthesc officials either
publicly or privately notify the people of
these TOWNSHIP sof the changes SO made, al
ways customary, excepting the secret notifi-
cation to the radical voters? The law makes
ii the duty of the Sheriff to make proclama-
ton of the time and pieces of holding the
election in his County. 1t has been invariably
the practice and the law requires that the
proclamation designate BY name the sererat
places OF holding the elections. This was not
done. and why? Simply because it would
have defeated the object Of the conspirators.
Mr.. Josiah lIarrell ia the past has had the
repusation of being an honest and honorable
man. II he can now explain away his suspi-
cious connection with this dsreputable trick,
he will crafty many friends in
JASPER AND RICHLAND.
To the question of our correspondent, ask
ing why the voting precincts of jasper ana
Richland were changed, we have only to say
that it seems to have been solely TO aeffaua
tho voters of those townships out OF their
votes And to considerable extent was sue

citizens coming from Lostown, very dis

learned very correctly. The wind was
blowing gale all day, 80 that there was
no crossing the river in any way Fears
we're entertained here that the whole bu.

to the devouring elements. We rejoice
with eur neighboring town, that it was
no worse We copy from the Herald the
particulars below:
On Thursday morning about y
O'Clock fire was discovered in the frame
row on Washington street; coming from
the French Restaurant OF l.. Ferry,
caused by carelessness. The fire spread
SO rapidly and the wind blew such gale,
that neither engine, nor Hook d Ladder
company could do anything to arrest the
progress Of the FIRE

property by removal
