Of alleged expenses l1otwoon July /, 1874 and
lato; md thoro no hayo very small ngurca In
decd. For instance, tho Wonturn Dfutrict OF
Ing baok to the first table, wo ind tlo c;lor-
mona expenditure Of e255,000 for tho Wcstor1
1,latrist Of Arkansna prioS to- tho last OF June.
ENORMOUS OUTLAY OF MONEY
rcncf that figure? For, III tho snmc poriol of
tmc,, all tho oxponscs Of tho Unitol ptatoa

unprecedented: No wonder TINT uomo Senators

woro TINT the Courts Of tho State Of Arkansas
spent in ONO year twolye times tho Presidents

Clayton 4 Company. Powell Clayton and Ills
junto ought to hayo n whole Indian reservation
md al annuity, no to rclloyo the United States
and tho State Of Arkansas from tho mutual OK
ponso OF them.
cauB2 tho Indian Territory is nddod to Western
Arkatlaas, aud inakoA but ono judicial District,
therefore tho cxponsca aro enormous. But
Texas, with all Its ynstncsa has only two dis
triots, aud tho cost Of tho Wcstorn District Of
Of tho EaAtorn District Of ToxaH, only 100000.
All the TerritorioB atllcd togotor cost for their
Courts 1csB by 1000 thnn tho Western Dis
trict Of Arkansas; that g to say, Arizona, Col
orado, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mo1ico,
Utah. Washington, and Wyoming.
After Arkanaas, tho most ilngrnnt instance Of
o1trnvngunt expenditure Is tho Htnte of North
Carolina, whero tho Unitod 5tatos Court las in
volged the expenditure Of $1si,0o On this

to tllo Marshal, saying: II do not understand
Aow 1t Ia TINT the expenses Of your district aro
groator, with ono exception, than any othor. I
DO hope tint, IN tho future you will exercise

tho Westonl District OF Arknnaas, s,-uo letter Of
protest at all appears to havo boon addressed by
the Attorney Gonsral; Why is tbia thus3 Who

It lookB n,ol,strous that Now York State, with
thrco Judicial Districts, ard With more than ton
tin,ea tho population Of Arsa,iHas and tho Indian
Territory pnt together, should have exceeded by
the Wostorn District Of Arkansas.
