ses alone of collecting the taxes amounts to that sum. Strike all that out?appoint a tax collector as we used to do, and let him go around and assess and collect the tax. Reduce the salaries of officers, and proportion them to their work. Take, for instance, our Attorney-General, a man of some sharpness, who came hero without a dollar. He receives a salary of $3500 and sits in his office and seems to think ho has nothing to do unless the Governor shall request his opinion upon j some point or other. Our former Attorney-Generals performed other duties and attended the courts. We should reduce the expenses of our Courts. I had a small case, lately, in which, in olilen times, the lawyers' costs would be $- "> or $:>0, and | the plaintiff's" cost in the case amounted to $200. j A poor man can scarcely now tako an appeal from j a decision that is against him. It takes ?1(50 now j to get an appeal, besides the lawyer's fees. You j can only get justice by buying it ; and when you j do get ah appeal, as my friend, Judge Munro, says, j "it goes up to a court made up of a Hebrew on j one side, a Hottentot on the other, with a Yankee sandwiched between them." Governor Perry then closed his speech with a tribute to his old'York friends, Judge Smith, Tom Williams and others, who had lived in former and better days, but bad now passed away, and expressing to his hearers his gratification at the attention with which they had listened to him, bade them farewell. AFFAIRS IX POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS. A correspondent of the Missouri Republican writes as follows, under date of Little Rock, September 19: On the 8th of last July, Sheriff Dodson, of Pope county, (Sheriff by appoiutment of the Governor, the Governor having refused to commission the Sheriff chosen by the people,) with a posse of twenty men, went to Dover, the county seat, and there arrested N. J. Hale, an old citizen of sixty-five years of age, also his son, Wm. T. Hale, Joseph Tucker and J. L. "West, all men of good standing and repute. The arrest was made upon a complaint pre ferred by Deputy SherilF Williams, charging the parties with having attempted to kill him by shooting at him in the woods. But there appears to have been no foundation for this charge, Williams himself having, it is said, recently confessed (when mortally wounded) that the charge was made for the purpose of getting into their custody the four persons named. The parties arrested were immediately taken from Dover by Dodson and his gang, in the direction of Russellville. At sun-set, they reached Shiloh Church, six miles from Dover, where a halt was ordered, and after a consultation between Sheriff Dodson and his deputy, Williams, eight or ten of thegang were seut off, under pretence of going for forage; but they did not return, and when it was fairly dark, Dodson ordered the party to move on in the direction of Russellville, with the four prisoners. They had gone but a short distance, when, on reaching a dark, narrow place in the road, guns were discharged in the bushes upon the road-side, and immediately Dodson and his posse fired upon the four unarmed prisoners, killing Wra. T. Hale and Joseph Tucker?Dodson himself shooting Tucker? the other two narrowly escaping the same fate. The guns fired by the side of the road were pointed upwards into the air, and were fired by some of Dodson's own men seut forward for that purpose. If we can credit the statements of the two who escaped, and old Mr. Hale is not a man whose word any citizen of Pope county would doubt, and according to the statements of Hale and "West, just before the firing, one of the posse remarked, "It is dark as Egypt," to which Dodson replied, "Egypt has no eyes." Wallace H. Hickox, the county Clerk, (by appointment,) was one of the Dodson gang who were openly charged by Mr. Povnter, of Dover, with the murder of Tucker and Hale; and a short time after the killing of these men, Hickox was seen by a half dozen citizens, among whom was the Rev. Mr. Hickerson, of Dover, to ride deliberately up to the shop of Mr. Poyuter and commence firing. Poynter returned the fire with a shot-gun, killing Hickox. Some time afterwards Deputy Sheriff Williams, in company with a number of mounted men, met Hale, a brother of Wm. T. Hale, shot bv Dodson. and fired unon him at sisrht. - / ? / 1 ? o Hale then fired at Williams, severely wounding him. Last evening Williams was rot expected to live, and he has made a confession (already alluded to) fully exonerating Hale from all blame, and revealing a plot deliberately entered into by officials of the State for the double purpose of gratifying personal malice, and to place the county under martial law for political purposes. The Motive.?That the motive for this may be fully understood, it should be stated that Pope county is one of the strongest conservative counties in the State of Arkansas, and in a close election, the throwing out of Pope county might save the State for the "minstrels," as the Grant party is here called. Reign of Tef.ror.?It is with reluctance that we are forced to believe that even a reckless set of carpet-bag politicians would resort to such diabolical means to retain the power which they can but see is fast slipping from their grasp ; but we cannot doubt the truthfulness of the death-frfed confessions of Williams, made in the presence of a half-dozen of the best citizens of Pope county, and in the light of this confession, and not otherwise, can we account for the action of Gov. Hatlley in calling out the State militia to sustain Dodson in murdering the peaceable citizens of Pope county. The killing of Hale and Tucker is not denied by him, and he (Dodson) is now under bonds to appear and answer to a charge of murder at the next term of court. Decency would seem to suggest that Dodson should be removed, or least suspended until his own trial takes place, rather than that the witnesses against him should be placed in his power. The citizens of Pope county unanimously desire Dodson's removal, ami have urgently petitioned Governor Hadley to take this course, and to appoint some man of character and respectability to fill the office, as the Governor has full power to do. This course would put an immediate end to the present difficulties, for, outside Dodson and his gang, there is not a man m Pope county but would gladly surrender himself to the civil authorities, so soon as they have any reasonable hope of protection. But the citizens of Pope county will die, if die they must, with arms in their hands, sooner than meet at the hands of the Dodson militia the fate of Joseph Tucker and Hale, j There is now a complete reign of terror ' throughout the county. Neither the lives nor j property of the citizens are safe. A Newspaper Squelched.?It was at j Russellville the printing office of the National Tribune was burned about a week ago, and its j editor, Mr. J. K. Batteufield, driven from his j home, under the following circumstances: j The paper is conservative, and through its : columns its editor dared to express his sentiments in a manner not complimentary to j Sheriff Dodson, or the State officials who ap- | pointed Dodson and are sustaining him in his j lawless acts. The Tribune office was th reaten- i ed with destruction, and the threat has been j executed. The "Minstrel Militia."?The militia ! now deny that it was burned by them, but it! is not denied that their guard on doty near the : office, on the night it was burned, gave no . alarm, and no citizen dared to go to the fire for ! fear of the militia. And on the day after the i burning, it being reported to Gen. Upham, then at the Eagle hotel at Ilnssellville, that j the editor, Mr. Battenfield, had made some j severe remarks at the breakfast table concerning the burning of his printing office, General j Upham ordered a squad of the "minstrel mi- j ?. litia" to arrest him for his offensive language, | and take him to the camp of the militia ; he j might as well have ordered him shot at sight, i for had he been taken to that camp he would,! in all human probability never have left it alive. This General Upham himself afterwards admitted. Mr. Battenfield was warned by his friends and made his escape to Little Kock. You can judge of the effect of this state of things when I tell you that the scrip of Pope county is now offered at six cents on the dollars . There is a general feeling af gloom and des-: pondency. Business is suspended, the farmer, have left their ungathered crops in the fields, some have left the county, and many are talkr ing of leaving. Such is "minstrelsy" and its results in Arkansas. "Let us have peace." ' BY TELEGRAPH. THE ELECTIONS OX TUESDAY. The following telegraphic despatches give the only news we have received in regard to the elections held 011 Tuesday, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska : [Special tclccmns to the Yorkville Enquirer.] Charlotte, N.

Returns indefinite from Pennsylvania and Ohio. The latest is that Pennsylvania seems to have gone for Hartranft, and Indiana for Hendricks, (Democrat.) There arc no opinions regarding Ohio.

I learn that a report is being circulated throughout the county, intended to prejudice the colored votes against me as a candidate for the Senate, to the ellect that should I be elected, I will immediately remove to Columbia and make my home there. Another part of the same story is that to enable me to do this, I already have a large sum of money on deposit in the Chester Bank. Each branch of the story is false in every particular. I was born in Yorkville, and it is my full purpose to reside there while I live. The following certificate from Mr. Harris, the Cashier of the National Bank of Chester, is a sufficient answer to the monc3' Pai't ?f the story: Chester, S. C., 8th Oct., 1872. I hereby ccrtif3' that J. Hannibal White has not anything deposited to his credit in the National Bank of Chester: nor has he had any such deposit since this Bank commenced business. -T T, HARRIS. Cashier. In addition to the above, I hike this occasion to saj* that I have not now, nor never have had, money deposited in any Hank.
