POLITICAL TROUBLES IN ARKANSAS,

! ~-~N~~AAAfSAA1t
The Liberals Claim the state---Violence Feared
---Gov. Hadley Calls on the President for
Troops.
| By Telegraph to the N Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Dec. prominent Ar
kansas Republicans now in this city, who
supported Greeley and Brown and the
reform State ticket in the late election.
say that the count of the votes as an
nounced in the different counties showed
that Brooks, the Reform candidate for
Governor, was elected by over 1000 ma
lorlty, and that the Liberal Electoral ticket
had about 500 more votes than Brooks.
This count did not include over 8, coo votes
| sworn in under the Federal Enforcement
act, after being refused by the Judges of
Election, and were cast in separate boxes
provided by the Federal Supervisors, All
of these votes, with the exception. per
haps, of few dozens, were for the Gree
ley Electors and the Reform State ticket.
In spite of these facts, the Clayton ring,
controlling the present State Government.
give out that Baxter, their candidate, re-
celyed majority Of 5000 votes, and they
probably intend to so manipulate the re-
turns as to bring out this result, and also
to secure majority in the Legislature.
They have full power to commit this out
rage. But they hesitate, and POSTPONE
announcing the result of their canvass of
the vote from fear, it is believed, that the
indignation of the people will break out in
some demonstration Of violence To pro-
vide against this Gov Hadley has asked
the President to send troops to Little Rock
Immediately. The Liberals have called a
mass convention to meet in that city on
the day fixed for the meeting of the Leg
1slature and the Inauguration of the new
State officers. The Clayton men fear that
this convention may resolve itself into an
armed demonstration against them, and
they are very anxious to secure the pres
ence OF force Of United States soldiers
Great excitement is said to prevail
throughout the State, and the situation is
represented as very critical The Liberals
say that unless Congress will interfere
there is no way in which they can secure
their rights except by force. They charge
the leaders OF the Clayton faction with the
intention of counting their own nominees
IN and declaring them elected without ref
erence to the nlajorities east against them,
and to show that they are capable of com
uniting such fraud they refer to the
action of Clayton when Governor in giving
a certificate of election to Congress- two
years ago, to John Edwards, who did not
come within 1900 of having as many votes
as his competitor, Judge Boles. 1t is
quite possible, in view of the threatening
condition of affairs in Arkansas, that the
House, following the precedent in the
Louisiana difficulties of last winter, will
send special committee 10 make an in
vestigation. The Liberals would be glad
to have this done. They say that they are
certain that fair investigation would show
that they carried the election by large
majority

BIGAMIsT. 1t was mentioned among the tel
egraphic news from Washington, in yesterday $
Gazrtt' that colored man named Robert Viii
liams, formerly of Alexandria, had been arrest
ed on the charge of bigamy. The Washington
Star of that date gives the following account of
the case :-"In the police court, Judge Snell
this morning, Mary Williams, respectable
colored woman, charged that Robert Williams
her husband, did feloniously marry one Henri
eta A. HUMPHREYS knowing that his former
wife, Mary Williams, was living and resident
of the United States Robert said The didn't
know; he didn't recognize himself when it was
done, as he was intoxicated at the time. Mary
produced her marriage certificate, showing
that they were married in October, 1871, in
Alexandria She brought TWO witnesses who
we're present on that occasion. Wife No. tes-
tilted 10 her marriage in January following with
Williams in this city, and brought the certif-
cate to corroborate it. The priest, Rev. MIR. Hog
geuforst, of St Joseph Church, Capitol Hill,
testified to performing the marriage ceremony,
and that Robert was as sober as judge at the
time Robert being headed off all round, the judge
committed him for action of the grand jury. !"
If all the colored men who have two living
wives are to be arrested and tried as bigamists
the courts will be pretty we'll occupied.
