IIadly actien In this mat ter at ems to lean to tbe side of bis subordinate cf5cer, Bnd if each is tbe case, Lis bands fcre as red Mi the rtiiU of this horrid crime jta of the bloodj per petnior. The Republican mjs i When Gov. Hadley left Pom onntt be ordered that tbe militia return to tbei homes and let the law take its eonrnev faiDce that time be has issued no order putting the militia in; the field, and if, in point of fact, any militia is in the field, it is there without 1 his knowledge or su The sendice of arms to. the miliua of Pope, or any other county in tbe elate, is a matter1 wholly in tbe dis cretion of tbe: governor, and one which be and every other governor ia the unios has exercised from time immemorial. We are glad to hear that Got.

Hadlet disclaims any knowledge that any militia are in tbe field with his authority. We had information from. undoubted authority that Dodson and hi party were la earn near Dover when we penned tbe paragraph upon which the Republican comment. If the gov ernor will enforce his proclamation orderf them to their ho and will arrest those i of them encaged in the Sbilob affair, we shall think that then bis purpose is what tbe Republican sars it Touching tbe matter of the gov ernor's right of sending arms to the mi- litis, we do not doubt it, as a matter of law. We only deplore the weakness of Judgment that in the exercise of his tint doubted permitted him to-do, at so critical a time, so foolish a thing; if his motive was right.

So foolish that we were compelled to bclitve that, de spile bis fair professions, bis purpose anl motive was, in sending those arms to Pope county, to in the face of law and to the affright of the community this band or assassins: and plunderers. Every good citizen! was satisfied with tbe conduct of Govi Hadley when he visited Pope county, and with the promise he made to enforce the laws; more psry tiularly were they gratified at the order disbanding the 1 militia. But. fads are stubborn -and seemed to us to show that the 1 governor was not acting in good faith when be ixnued that order. The militia did of dieband.

Ah soon as the governor returned to the city be sent to Williams' company forty stand of arms. Williams, with bis com pan met these arms at the end of the railroad, thereby showing concert of action, and parceled them out to his company, and he, with Hickox, Dodson and others, who refused to be arrested, then marched into camp at a point six miles east oi Dover. These facts eotne to us from un doubted sources, and they do not tabliab that while Gov. Hadley was pro fessing one thing he was covertly carry. ing out a contrary policy, we do not nn- Tbe editor of tbe Repubb'can, who also chief justice -of the supreme court of Arkansas, in tbet heated article tb wbicb we reply, rises many degrees above the top of hia thermometer, and concludes in this chaste style So far aa rising upi under the leader ship of Mr.

Brooks is concerned, all that we have to say is, rise: and be damned. We are in favoa of peace, and deprecate strife and bloodshed shut if the Gazette and its frienda 1. want to "rise up" under the leadership of Mr. Brooks, or any other man, and Bet the state authorities at defiance, our rallying cry under such circumstances will be, Woe to the con quered. We are as ardent, in favor of peace and as anxiously deprecate strife and bloodshed as the Republican all that we have said was with that, aim and to that point.

We! -want the parties who shot at Williams arrested, tried and cos victed. if found guilty we want the as sassins of Tucker and Hale arrested, tried and convicted, if found we want the militia disbanded in pursuance of the governor's proclamation, or pr an a I tM ciaimea as outlaws 11 tney ao not band "and we want the governpxfo dis continue tne employment of such arga- ments in favor of peace, as the sending of muskets to men charged with grave crimes, who are iia camp contrary to bis and whose armed presence in the disturbed country terrifies tbe people and bodes no good. The. grinding to tbe earth a people who have the right to ae free is what we complain of, and persist ence in this policy of force, if it is to be Gov. Hadley's policy, can result only in driving the people td their last resort in self-defense.

That tie people want peace is proved by their patience under long suffering. It would be as easy for them in tbeir muliitade to put down these pres a 4 a siona asu wouia ie 10 shovel so many horse-balU into the Arkansas river. Tbeir 4 very endurance of so matrjr wrongs proves their peaceful disposition. I I NORTH CAROLINA. The first gun of.

60Y. HAOLCY AND THE POPE COUNTY DISTURBANCES. The Republican charges that the Gazette, by "willful misrepresentation and covert inuendoes, baa "endeavored to prejudice the people against tbe stale au thorities, and to create the Impression that Gov. Hadley 1 was professing one thing to the people and covertly advising and that we bavo done this "willfully and maliciously 1 for the purpose of provoking bloodshed, expect ion thereby to make political The Gazette i a all it baa published in regard to the Pope county troubles has been actuated by no such motives, and has no auoh purposes as those above ascribed by tbe Republican. On tbe contrary wo lave misrepresented nothing, but related facts and drawn such deduc tions as the premises warranted, but with out malice, as it was our duty to If Gov.

Hadley does not appear well in the showing, it is tbe result of bis own actions and tbe nature of bis connection with bis officers. 'The first two or three publications we made were details of the facta as reported to us by reputable citizens of the ounty, as good as there 'are In any country, unaccompanied with comments further than to deplore the unfortunate condition of affairs, i We expressed the sentiment that the officers of the should be supported in the proper dis charge tf tbeir duties, and should be held to rigid accountability for any abuse of their authority. The shooting to death of two defenseless prisoners by guard of i twenty odd men, without second's notice, was surely good occasion for intimating that the conduct of the law offioers should be made the subject of legal investigation 1 In no other civil ised country on tbe globe would these of ficers by whose command this brutal act was perpetrated, be permitted to walk freely upon tbe public streets of tbe cap ital city, confer freely with -the ex ecu live and return to the scene, of their bloody work, without molestation or ar rest, and then to go at large backed by an armed mob, as a standing menace to the safety of the lives and property of aa orderly and peace loving community. sio word or criticism was said by us of the conduct of Gov. Hadley, until after tbe issuance of bis proclamation requiring the militia, to disband.

The issuance of this proclamation was a vir tual acknowledgment that tbe militia band who said the arrests were called into service with the full knowledge of this governor, without whose order it could not legally have been called out. The dying declaration of young Hale, and tbe affidavits of old mn Hale and Perry West, the survivor, aa to tha, bar barity of the murders, and the suspicions circumstances attending and preceding their perpetration evidences elieited in a coroner's examination into tbe horrible affair-were certainly sofScient warrant for ua to bold SheriffDodaoa and his band as guilty of overriding their authority demanding a judicial investigation of their conduct, and fixing tbe responsibility where it belongs, upon Gov. Hadley, fur calling the militia men into service as Lis agents upon insufficient cause, unless be dis SECOND GRAND GIFT CONCERT rsr or tb PUBLIC LIBRARY OF XEXICCKY.

It is the opinion and declaration of this eonvention that the ring which controls the state government, and tbe bad men who operate wi them, have inflicted upon this state tbo most corrupt and oppressive government ever tolerated by a free, people. 2.

They bare robbed the people of the ben-ants nf the ballot bv fraudulent re aristration.1 ballot-box stuffing and the issuing of false and freedulentcertittratea to the results of -a The have Increased taxation to an enormous stunt, and at the same time increased oar state indebtedness millions, without any corresponding benefit to tbo people of the state. 4. They have, when In thoir power, prosit uted the courU of the state until they become the engines of. injastieo 1 and political oppression. 1 They have required from the officers of the school department political services of a most disgraceful character, and bare thereby serioutlj injured the school system of tbo e.

They have fraudulently, and corruptly assumed patronage which did not belong to them, and have most abused tbe patronage entrusted to them by tbe people: therefore we bold it to be the duty ot all friends of honeatan i juit government to ue all fair and honorable iuen to drive the miscreants from power; therefore, be it 1 KcBolved. 1.
