BARNdRD.

The career which has just been brought to
close by the verdict of the Court of I'm
parchment at Albany was characteristic of a
social and political era now in its last hours.
Tweed and Barnard were twin representatives
of system of vulgar and riotous peculation
which made New-YOrk one of the worst gov
erned cities of the whole world, and turned
to ridicule the two safeguards upon which
free government relies-an open poll and an
independent judiciary. Tweed, rising by
favor of the dangerous classes from the en-
gine-hOuse of a fighting fire company to the
best places in the City Hall, turned the ballot
box into an instrument for recording his per-
sonal wishes, while Barnard, rising from the
bar-room to the bench, practically overthrow
the law and made his court a bureau of Tam
many Hall. He came to this city from Cali
fornia, where he had practiced law with some
what doubtful reputation, and rumor says
that he owed his elevation to the bench to
the timely discovery Of d large defalcatiOn by
an official who then controlled the party slate.
He was too shrewd to impart this discovery
to any one except the culprit himself and the
price of his silence was the Recordership of
the city, to which he was elected in 1857.
who shall sayf 1t is, at any rate, in keeping
with what is known of his life. A short SER
vice as Recorder made good his claim upon
the Ring for further advancement and for
nearly thirteen years he has accordingly dis
pensed injustice from the bench of the Su-'
preme Court
We shall not repeat the story of his career
in that place. A part of it has been told in
the course of the trial. The later chapters
have from time to time been narrated in our
columns but much of it is only known in
general way to lawyers who have practiced
before him, and the congenial company of
with whom he enjoyed the con-
"cOmitants of social intercourse in the safe
maker Davidsons back office. He was
worse than any of his associates in this that
while he was as yenal as CardOzO, as dishonest
as Tweed, and as sensual and riotous as James
Fisk, jr., he was holder than either of those
offenders in his outrages upon private rights
and public decency, and he showed an almost
devillsh delight in parading his wickedness in
the eyes of all the world. He heard without
blashing his own judicial integrity impugned

NEW. YORK Liberal REPUBLICANS.


Is it not about time for the Oiice-Holders'
organs to publish another canvass of New
York, proving that there is no Liberal Repub-
Iican movement in the Statef We printed,
the other day, remarkable exhibit OF
Liberal Republican strength in Illinois. No
such exhibit has been made for New-York
only because no one article could fairly show
the uprising in the Empire State. Let the
late remarkable meeting in Rochester pass Tor
type of the whole movement.
Here was O gathering called by the sigma
lures of five hundred Republicans, and attended
by five thousand, not half of them being able
to get into the largest hall that could be pro-
yided. The officer who presided over the meet
ing was the first Lieutenant-Governor elected
by the Republican party in the State of New
York. He was subsequently elected by the
Republicans Judge Of the Court of Appeals.
Four years ago he headed the Republican Elec-
teral ticket for Gen. Grant. Two years ago he was
placed at the head of the regular Republican
Judicial ticket for Chlef-Justice of the Court
of Appeals The State of New-York has no
purer, more upright or universally
esteemed citizen than Judge Henry
r. Selden, and the Republican party
has had no member whom it more delighted
to honor, or whose name brought greater
strength to its tickets in time of danger.
Another officer of this meeting was Thomas
Raines whom the Republicans made
State Treasurer in 1871 Another was the
Treasurer of that county, elected on the Re-
publican ticket. Another was the District-At-
torney of that county, elected on the Republi-
can ticket and another was the last member
of the Republican State Committee from that
district.
That the meeting was enthusiastic is OF
course; that the speeches were eloquent and
heartily received, most readers will take for
granted. But the thing of special signifi-
canoe is that, in a State where there
are no Liberal Republicans, it was
possible on short notice to have so large and
enthusiastic meeting, in one of the principal
inland cities of the State, on call so respect
able and to officer it with the very first
men of the vicinity and of the State
in recent Republican honors. The head OF
tho last Republican Judicial ticket, the head
of the last Republican Electoral ticket, the
Republican State Treasurer, the Republican
County Treasurer, the Republican District
Attorney the Republican member of the State
Committee for that district-what better
showing could possibly be made, even in a
State where over one-half the Electors of 1868
have declared for Greeleyf just look again
at the names of that Rochester meeting, and
then tell the next Office Holder what you
think of him. when he seeks to belittle the
Liberal Republican party of New-York!
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-08-20
ORGANIZED MURDER IN ARKANSAS.


Let no one fail to read the letters from our
| special correspondent in Arkansas, printed this
| morning. They are written by gentleman
whose veracity cannot be questioned, and
| whose intelligence has been often enough
proved. He was dispatched by THE TRIBUNE
to Arkansas to try to unravel from amidst
the conflicting partisan statements the exact
truth in regard to the disorders in Pope
County. The story which had como up from
that region was too hideous for belief. 1t was
asserted that the Sheriff and Clerk of the
county had murdered two prominent and in
offensive citizens for the purpose of having the
county put under martial law, so that it might
be more easily controlled in the coming cleo
ton. 1t was not q reasonable story. 1t seemed
incredible that even the Carpet-bag Ring of
that plundered State should have committed a
crime of such inconceivable stupidity and
horror
But there can no longer be any doubt that
the occurrence was exactly as stated. Irrefu-
table evidence establishes the following facts.
A Deputy Sheriff pretended to have been fred
OH. Dodson and Hicko1, the Sheriff and Clerk,
mustered a posse of twenty-eight men, all
adherents of Clayton, and without warrant ar
rested four men, and took them toward an adj
joining county, where the Circuit Judge lived.
On the way, they sent five of their number
ahead, who fired their pistols in the air to
create the impression that the party was
attacked The Sheriff and Clerk, assisted by
the School Superintendent, then fred on the
prisoners, killing two of them, the others es-
Gaping in the darkness. The posse then dis
banded, the murderers went to Little Rock,
reported to the Governor that they had been
bushwhacked, and demanded that martial law
be declared in the county. Our correspond
ent arrived there at the time when the people
were in daily expectation of the proclamation
of martial law, which would have been simply
handing them over TO the murderers and their
accomplices. In anticipation of this, these
worthless and their friends had collected small
bodies Of so-caued militia in the woods at con-
venient places, ready to rob and pillage as soon
as the Governor delivered the defenseless people
into their hands. Even under this fearful provo
cation, the inhabitants of Pope County, though
nervous and excited, behaved with admirable
temper and judgment. They held public
meeting near the very scene of the massacre
Oh the 10th of August protesting against the
proposed declaration of martial law, and pro-
Tossing that the community was peaceful and
and that there was no necessity
for such cruel aud arbitrary measure. Martial
