Turned Over to the At
tOrney-General
Henry N. Cooper, Secretary OF the Re
publican Committee, Makes 5
Prompt and Full Denial.
v. VS. Histery-He is Proven TO be 8
fraud OF he First Water-GOv'
ernor Garland Hot After the
Criminal and his Aids.

smith, who 50 Ear has carefully con-
SsAled his whereabouts, Is again IN
correspondence with the President,
pressing bis bogus claims to the COVER
norship Of Arkansas upon that func-
tionary. But Grant, not having any
stomach for these State revolutions, az
ter his very sad experience in Louisiana,
has turned the dispatches over TO his
encouragement, who has proved him
self the most implacable foe of peace
and good government, and the friend,
perhaps the purchased friend, Of Dorsey,
Mcclure and company, who tTemble
before the prOspec- Of 8 complete ex-
pose Of their tricks and cOrrupuOns,
which they know viii be mace by the
Democratic legislature Of Arkansas.
VIII am may yet find loop-hOle for
s vindication Of smith and an espousal
by the Federal government Of his cause,
hut ffom what we resd in the leading
Radical papers at the north, we
90 not believe he viii be per-
mitted 10 put them in practice. just
at this juncture, the denial by
Henry NJ. Cooper Of the author
ship Of tie dispatch forwarded to Wa-h-
ing,on ia his name, is an evidence that
Smith is a sc0undrel and the willing
tool Of the most corrupt ring known in
the history OF the couuptionists Of the
Il gited States. 1t reinfoTces the dispatch
from he elloIed sheriff Of Phillips
couatv, published by US yesterday, and
i a creditsb.e exhibit of good faith, for
which the Republicans should have
credit The sketch Of the career ofSmith,
which viii bs found below, is an expose
that We can vel see from late events is
quite truthful. Y. V. is q bad man
one Of hose wretehed creatures whose
Olty preventative against an open ca
rear Of shameless crime is the peniten-
tiary. II be had courage equal TO bis
designs and desires, there is no knowing
what he might accomplish a a crimi-
nal. As it is, We hope Garland viii
succeed in putting him in the Arkansas
peuiteutisry for a term Of years.
