AFFAIES -IN ABIKANS.I.B.
The following official report relating to
affairs in Arkansas has twain received at
Gen. Grant's headquarters, from General
Horace Porter,
of his staff:
Little Rock,Arkansas, December 28, 1868.
General; Gen. Baboook and I arrived here
two days ago. So many contradictory re
ports halm been in circulation in,regard to
Governor Clayton's militia that it maybe,
well for you to know the facts. The present
State Government was -certainly in some
danger' previous to the Presidential. elec
tion. Senator Barker had been shot
and wounded badly;
_Mr. Uphata, of the
Lower House'NOunded; Mr. Blues,m
, a em
ber. of tkotgre6e, and itTreedmen s Bureau
agent killed{` and -Other- agent* and: the
United States Marshal driven from' their
posts by threats. The Governor, Senator
Rice and others bad to sleep in the State
House under guard for -fear of states
sination. The Governor wisely re
frained from taking any violent
measures until after the election,, fear
ing that the opposition might make
capital out of it. As 'soon as it was
over he organized a militia force; of about
800 men, one fourth-colored, under Gen.
Catterson In the southwest, and Gen. Up
had. in the northeast, to live off the
country, taking what was absolutely neces
sary and giving vouchers. His intention
is to pay all loyal holders of vouchers and
no others. Two assassins have already
been executed by sentence of a military
commission, seven others are in 'prison,
and a great number have been run out of
the btate. But the best result I can see, is
the disposition Orel business men to volun
tarily enroll thilaselves as a posse, - pledged
to assist sheriffs to arrest lawless characters.
if the Governor will relieve them from
martial law. He Accepted .many of such
pledges, and martial law exists only in
parts of seven counties. The entire con
servative wing of the Republican party
were oprootted to the declaration of martial
law, including Gen. Smith; U. S. A., com
manding the troops: They admitted the
reign of terror established by the rebels,
but wanted the United States ,to make the
arrests. GOv. Claytdn's argument in favor
of his policy is as follows: •
The :United. States troops do= not know
the people and country; the idwless behave
while the United States' troops are in the
vicinity, and break out Worse than ever
when they leave; the rebels' are generally
anxious to have them as it , creates an ex
penditure of money in their midst, from
which they reap a benefit; the militia
punish all the disloyal, and 'extort
pledgesfrom them to respect the laws, as
these people have threatened to break up
the State government as soon as the United
States troops are removed; this teaches
them that the State is able to protect itself.
The militia have been under tolerable
good control, and tile plundering reported
In the press is the taking of supplies under
orders. One negro militiaman committed
a rape on a white woman, but was itnmedl
ately arrested by Gen. Catterson, (who
seems to be a very good man,) tried, con
victed and executed. The Governor's pol
icy has uo doubt seriously interfered with
business, where martial law has been
proclaimed, and injured builiness men
of all parties: Hence the opposition'
from loyalists: It. has interfered with
travel, taken off hands for the militia at a
Season wlien theywere badly needed,. and
created many panics. It has, however, no.
complished much more good thalg - themost
sanguine expected, and General Smith ao
knowledged he thought the Governor's
judgment was better than his. and the re
sult would fully justify the action of the
- former. The Governor is now disposed to
relieve , each county from martial law
as soon as it can be done safely.
,The • Govenfor is certainly a man
of intelligence .'.and nerve, 'and has
labored under difiletiltien that would have
deterred a less able officer. Four thousand
stand- of arms were 'seized by the Ku
Klux and, thrown off , a boat, below Aleni
phis. SO could seldom secure good' men
for "officers, and in tile eastern' counties he
had to depend entirely upon the negroes
for soldiers. "

The- Commercial of to-day says that the
clause of Senator Wilson's bill proposing
to prohibt the certification of checks and

duced a strong feeling among the National
Banks. One bank is now asking the consent
'of its i.tockholders to be recognized pnder
the State laws. - A private capitalist is also
said to be taking measures for the organi
zation of a State Bank. Should 'Congress
sanction this clause prohibiting the pay
ment of interest on deposits,there can be
little doubt that we should w itness the or

::Libel Cases.
In - reporting the hearing in the libel cases
brought against its proprietors, the Dtspatch
says:
There was a hearing before Aldermatt
Mehlasters yesterday, in the libel cases in
stituted by George L Hall agaiwft the pro
prietors of the Dispatch. In. the first caw
the prosecutor's counsel admitted that the
statement in the obnoxious article reht
tiVe to Hall:. being charged with being
'connected with the outrage referred to, was
true; that it was true an information had
been made against' Hall for the , offense at
the time; that it was true a warrant for Us.
arrest had been given to officer Moon for
execution; that it was true the proprietors'
of the Dispatch did not write the report of
the case given in that paper, and further
that they-never saw the article until after
its pu.blication. As the only matter is the •
article complained of as being libelous, wius
the mere statement that Hal was charged
with beinstconnected with the case report,
ed, mid as there was no `attempt Whatever
to show - malice in its publication, the de-•
fendants claimed the dismisial of the
charge. On the second charge, the y also
asked for dismissal on, the ground that it
merely sat forth the fad* which transpired
at the Alderman's ( office on the first hear
ing. The Alderman reserved his decisina.
It is highly , probable that the case will
be dismissed. That an, nformatlon could (
be sustained on the facts is fresh evidence
that a change in the odious libel law of
the State is needed.
