A REPORT FROM THE RECONSTRUC
TION COMMITTEE.
Testimony of* Maj. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas
in Full.
(Special Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial !
Washington, March G.—The following is Geueral
George H. Thomas, evidence, in full, before the Re
construction Committee, on the condition of the
States of his command, excepting Tennessee, sub
mitte.1 to the committee to-day:
Major Geueral George II. Thomas examined by Mr.
Boutwell. The General said:
“Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mis
sissippi are included in my command. The people of
Alabama are extremely anxious to be under the control
of the United States, and to have that State in its regu
lar position iu the Union, but they are not yet per
sonally friendly to Union men. They are desirous to
be under the government of the United States, and
have attempted to pass laws as judicious as they could,
at the time, to regulate the atlairs of the freedmen.
One of their bills was not considered constitutional
by the Governor and was vetoed by him.
“He thinks now that the Legislature will pass a just
and fair bill to regulate the affairs of the freedmen of
the State. The people there have had a fair trial in
tlieir attempt to gain their independence, and have
failed completely. They now profess to have given up
the contest, and express themselves desirous of re
suming their relations with the government.
“It is difficult to say what portion of the people are
reliable Union men. Before the secession of the
State the majority of the people of Alabama were for
the Union, and when the subject was first sub
mitted to the people, a majority voted against seces
sion. I am informed that the ’State was eventually
taken out of the Union by the trickery of determined
secessionists.
“The people acquiesced in the result, and many of
them seemed to give up their Union sentiments, and
some ot the original Union men have remained rebels,
and are now strongly iu sympathy with the enemies
ot the Government. Others have expressed their
gladness that the rebellion lias been crushed, anil pro
fess a desire to have their State back iu the Union;
but their interest and symiiathies have such hold
upon them at this time that it is very difficult to ob
tain clear expressions of sentiment of any man
there.
**1 aiu inclined to think that a very small proportion
of t hen, would bo wWfnc to sacrifice their property
and interest in the south for the sate oi iuo ui.:-..
they did not do it before, and it is fair to presume
that they would still adhere to the advancement of
their <»wu private interests in preference to the inter
ests ol the national Government. In e.-me portions
of the State there is a very butter feeling between
those who lave been Unionists during the war, and
those who have been identified with tlie rebellion. In
other portions, the people all seem to desire to be
friendly to one another, and to adhere to the Govern
ment.
•In some portions of western Alabama the sentiment
is decidedly iu favor of the government; in other por
tions of the State I think the sentiment of the people
may be expressed in this way: If they thought they
could establish a southern confederacy, they would
prefer it, but, seeing no hope of that, they desire to
live under the Constitution of the United States.—
There is iu Alabama a strong, decided disloyal senti
ment, though I think the Union sentiment predomi
nates iu many portions of the State.
“ In elections that have token place in that State I
don’t know that it has been a universal thing for can
didates to put themselves before the people as having
participated, more or less, actually in rebellion, but
there were two distinct parties iu northern Alabama,
and the Union Candidates were defeated, but I think
the Union candidates there for the Legislature were
all, or a majority of them, elected. I think in central
and southern Alabama the successful candidates were
either officers of the rebel army or active and working
rebels. Reports of frauds in certain districts in elec
tions was forwarded to me, and I suppose are now on
file in tho Adjutant General’s office. The charge was
that improper persons were permitted to vote. It was
substantially as understood in that State up to this
time. Union men and freed men have not, to any
great extent, been in danger of their lives. But few
instances of personal violence have been . eported to
me. Generally speaking the presence of United States
troops, and officers of the Frcedmen’s Bureau, has
been sufficient to put down any demonstrations of hos
tility. I do not think it would be expedient to remove
the troops until the people show that they are them
selves willing and determined to execute civil law with
impartial justice to all parties.
••I think public sentiment is divided on the subject
of allowing freedmen to become freeholders. I have
heard of no legislation on that subject either to em
power them to become freeholders or to prohibit them
from becoming such. If the national troops and
Froednien’s Bureau were to be withdrawn from the
State at this time, I don’t believe the Union men or
the freedmen could have justice done them. Injustice
toward them would commeuce in suits in courts for
petty offences, and neighborhood combinations to an
noy them so much that they could not reside among
them. I am satisfied, until a better state of feeling
shall arise; that if all restraint should be removed,
the freedmen would be thrown back into a condition
of virtual slaverj r ; that is, they woald be compelled by
lagislative enactments to labor for little or no wages,
and they would not dare to leave tlieir employers for
fear of punishment; and unless men who had been
Union men through the war, had very strong personal
friends, they could not live iu the State; they would
be annoyed so much in various ways that they could
not live thoro in any peace or comfort. I think emi
grants from abroad would be kindly received, but I
think emigrants from the north, or Union men, would
be coldly received and treated with indifference.
I don’tAnow whether any effort has been made or
not to ascertain whether the negroes would be willing
to remove to any territory assigned to them, ^if that
was to be done, but from my knowledge of negro char
acter 1 think they would object to it. I think the mass
of them desire very much to continue to live in their
old neighborhoods, and with their old masters invari
ably, where they have been treated w ell as slaves. I
was born in a southern State and reared, to the age of
nineteen, in that country. Since 1 have been in the
army my service has been mostly in the southern
States, and on the frontier bordering on southern
States. There is no danger cf trouble from., the ne
groes remaining where they are, unless the whites
treat them so badly that they are compelled, in self-de
fence, to rise up against them. There is one section
•f Alabama where the people, under the direction of a
philanthropic gentleman of that State, have gone to
work themselves to establish a Freedmen’s Court, or
something equivalent to it, through which they pro
pose to administer fair and impartial justice between
the employers and the negroes, and they have also un
dertaken to establish schools for the instruction of ne
groes, and for education in the primitive branches of
knowledge.
The disposition of the negroes for education is uni
versal, especially among the younger portion of them.
Their capacity for receiving instructions have not
been fully developed, but from all that I can learn
from conversation with different persons, they pos
sess a fair capacity for acquiring knowledge. I think
the second generation can be instructed much mom
easily and thoroughly than the present one, because
in a measure the mind of tho negro is entirely devel
oped at the present time, except in matters of practi
cal observation. I think in many instances where ne
groes have been assnred that they would be paid fair
wages, they have gone to work willingly and have con
tinued at work as long as .the contract has been faith
fully informed on the part of his employer. I do
think Georgia differs materially from Alabama. There
may be somewhat more of personal hatred to the ne
gro in his relation as frcediuan, but as yet it has been
easily controlled through tho Freedmen’s Bureau,
Suit al is constantly improving in all the
The people of Mississippi appear to me to be more
impulsive and more prone to stand up for and aasert
Uieir opinions. It is a difficult matter to describe the
difference between the people of these two States, yet
*. er f J® a difference. I consider the people of Missis
sippi the least promising. The people of that State
do not listen to argument and diicussion with as much
calmness as the people of Alabama do. I don't know
tnat I can give a decided opinion of the difference in
the bLate of feeling ip those States now and ju6t after
Lee s eurrend an* *‘io rtj>ortsI received soon
who traveled hurrklly through that section of the
try. I think iu the great majority of cases they were
disposed to look on the most favorable side imme-
diately after the surrender of Lee and the downfall of
the ConfedCTaoy, and perhaps they did not investigate
as closely as persons would at the present time. The
universal report made to me by persons traveling
through those States at this time, was to the effect
that the mass of the people were very happy at the
downfall of the rebellion, and at their prospect of
soon again getting under the Constitution and Gov
ernment of the United States.
Q. Do you know anything from information or re
port of secret organizations south, said to be hostile
to the government?
A. I have received several communications to that
effect; bnt persons who have given me this informs
tion have desired that their names should not be men
tioned; and as yet no direct accusations have been
made in regard to any person or class of persons.—
There have been steps taken to ascertain the truth of
the matter. The persons who are in communication
with me are reliable and trnthful* and 1 believe their
statements are correct in the main,*trat how far this
disaffection extends I am yet unable to say. It does
♦ xist, to a certain extent, and I am taking measures to
obtain as much information on the subject as I can
Q. To what State does this information relate ?
A. It relates to all the States lately in rebellion. I
think there is no real danger to be apprehended, be
cause the military authority and power of the govern
ment is only feared in those States, but I think it is
ample to put down any serious demonstration
q>. Is this information from different sources, each
independent of the other ?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. So far as you are informed, what are the nature
and objects of this organization V
A. To embarrass the Government of the United
States in the proper ail ministration of the affairs of the
country, by endeavoring or making strong efforts to
gain very important concessions to the people of the
south, and, if possible, to repudiate the national debt
incurred in consequence of the rebellion, or to gain
such an ascendency in Congress aa to make provision
for the assumption by Congress of the debt incurred
by the rebel Government. Also, in case the United
States Government can be involved in a foreign war,
to w atch their opportunity and take advantage of the
first that occurs to strike for the independence of the
States lately in rebellion.
Q. Do you know of any person of influence impli
cated in this movement ?
A. I have not ascertained that aiw persons of influ*
ence are implicated in i£ and I wrm further state, in
justice to the people of the south, that I know many
men who were prominent in the rebel army who I
believe are now honestly trying to become good citi
zens of the United States, They bavQ been paroled,
and have applied to the President for pardon, and are
awaiting his decision. They have set themselves to
work quietly to earn an honest livelihood in some
practical and peaceful manner, thereby setting, a good
example to the other people of the south.
THE LATEST NEWS.
Despatches of the Associated Press.
THE FENIANS ABOUT TO MOVE.
New York, March 9.—Intense excitement prevails
in Fenian circles in this city to-day. It is thought
undoubtedly a demonstration will shortly be mads
against Canada by Gen. Sweeney. He says he has al
ready large stores, arms and munitions, with trans
portation at his command.
A special states that it understands that the govern
ment has ordered the militia to be stationed at Ogs-
denburg to prevent raids from tho United States. All
sorts of exaggerated stories prevail. 4
PREPARATIONS IN CANADA FOR WAR.
Montreal, March 9.—A call for 100,000 men of the
Canadian militia for active duty, which was made late
on Wednesday evening, was enthusiastically respond
ed to, and early on Thursday morning news was re
ceived from all parts of the country that their quotas
were ready for active service at a moment’s notice —
There seems to be no doubt that three or four times
the number could be had in a day’s notice. The whole
volunteer force of tins city paraded last evening.—
Strong guards arc posted at aU the armories, and pa
trols kept moving through the city all night Every
preparation is made to guard against any Fenian sur
prise.
THE FENIAN EXCITEMENT IN TORONTO.
Toronto, C. W.. March 9.—Tho response yesterday
to the call for volunteers from all parts of the country
was very enthusiastic. A much larger number offered
than was required. Tho Globe of today has a report
that the plot of tho Feuians is for a body of them to
cross over to Canada and take part in the public pro
cession on St Patrick’9 day who will disturb the peace
and distract attention while armed Fenian bands will
make raids on the border.
A SPEECH FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, March 9.—A delegation from the State
of Kentuckj’ has presented to President Johnson the
proceedings of a mass meeting held at Frankfort,
Kentucky, indorsing his
reaa au ium can, ni^ue course of which he said the
presence of the agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau in
Kentucky tended to produce demoralization and dis
satisfaction among the negToes and annoyance and in
convenience to the white citizens, and was productive
of no good results.
The President briefly responded, tendering to
those whom the delegation represented and to the
State of Kentucky his unfeigned thanks for the kind
expressions and manifestations of confidence in him
personally, and an endorsement of the policy which
shall control bis administration.
It was peculiarly gratifying to receive these assu
rances at this peculiar time. He testified that the re
sult would show that the confidence thus reposed was
not misplaced, and would never become a matter of
regret upon the part of those who gave expression
thereto.
The result is regarded as most gratifying at this
critical juncture in the affairs of the nation—scarcely
less so than when an armed and organized force
sought to overthrow the Government, and to attack
and attempt to cause a disruption of the Government
by an armed combination and military force, which
was no more lawless than the present attempt to re
volutionize and undermine it, hy a disregard and de
struction of the safe-guards thrown around tho liber- 1
ties of the people in the Constitution. Our stand has
been taken. Our course is marked out. We shall
take no step backward. Our purpose in this regard
can not be given more plainly than has already been
furnished.
In tho future as in the past we shall endeavor in
good faith to make the administration of affairs of
government conform to the Constitution in its letter
and spirit. Therein is the only guarantee .to the lib
erties of the people. It is hoped by an adherence to
this rule to remedy ere long all the irregularities and
annoyances to which people have been subjected.—
Again, do we assure you that these demonstrations of
confidence and assurance of support on the part of
the people are exceeding cheering to us—that we are
grateful for and properly appreciate them, and that
our most earnest wish is so to discharge the trust con
fided to us to merit them.

Aud A clou i Robbery.
A bold robbery was committed on the 6th Ipst on
the Broadway Bank, comer of Park Place and Broad
way. Mr. Janies Bowes went to the bankSJdepaait
$3,727 22 in two packages, and while counting the mo
ney near the teller’s desk he noticed a nun standing
near by, and soon after felt so ana undflC hi" own,
and at the same moment one of the packages, contain
ing $2,283 was taken up. The thief dodged into the
hall, but was seized by Mr. Rowe, when he dropped
the money and started off again, bat was subsequently
arrested by persons passing the bank door. The thief
turned out to be George Gardner, alias the Dutch Hen-
rich, who committed the celebrated gold robbery at'
the Bank of Commerce about a year ago, and who was
charged with a similar robbery in Philadelphia, but
who escaped pubisliment in In :
Diocesan Theological Seminary
OF SQUTII CAROLUIA.
CiiAaLKBTON, S. C.. February 39, 1866.
I N the name af the LortL we come to present t.
yonr chrlvtftin -love the' Diooasaw Tu*oi.o«ioal
SotiNABv or Soutu Cabolin Eetabliaherl at. Cam
den in the year of onr Lord 1669, it has already sent
forth nine neralds of tire Cross, seven of whom are
Btill in this diocese, earnest, efficient, able ambassa
dors for Christ There are at present eight candidates
for holy orders, who, for divers reasons, are scattered
through tlie country, and are pursuing their studies
under innumerable difficulties. In the providence of
God, our s.-rainary hnildings have been destroyed by
fire, and a large porl ion of the library was lost. The
permanent fund, amounting to near fifty thousand
dollars ($50,000) has been all lost in the political con
vulsion which has so lately shaken this land. Gloomy
as is our immediate retrospect, we look forward
with laith, and hope, aud trust to the future. We
have two professors ready to commence their work
at once, and God has put it into the heart of a bene
ficent layman to present to tlie Bishop aud trustees a
large and well adapted building and gronnds, in
Orangeburg, in this State,—a healthy, central, and
altogether most eligible location,—for tho use of the
yrofessors and gtndentB. This is onr beginning; we
:iave a shelter, bnt no* one dollar. But in faith we
have determinant# go oa, and theftWIMs6s have re
solved that the exercises of the seminary shall com
mence o(T the firsf of April. We need four thousand
dollars ($4,000) to carry on the work this year ; but
we desire to raise two hundred and Any thousand
dollars ($250,000), to pnt the institution on a secure
and permanent basis.
Dear brethren of the household of faith, can we
appeal to yonr Christian charity with an object more
worthy of yonr aid than this Southern School or the
Prophets, where fit and well-trained laborers shall
be prepared ppd sent forth to preach tho everlasting
Gospel of the Bon of God In the Church, in tlie great
and peculiar field which the providence of God has
allotted to us?
It is the pniposg of tho OonvenHonpf this diocese
to establish a-Prephrattvy School for hoys, which
shall be of a high order, aud in connection with the
chnrch. We propose to make this a marked featnre
in onr future plans. For many causes, such a school
is now greatly needed, as education has necessarily
been much neglected of late; and we desire to pro
ceed at once to the organisation .of the same. We
are also anxiohs to commence Qnr work at once, in
order that the resifintion of the Diocesan Convention
may be acted upon, namely: “That this Board be
antnorfud and requested to search oht, and take by
the hand, inch colored persons as may be desirous of
preparing for the sacred ministry of oar church, and
to whose capacity and moral and spiritual fitness their
pastors may testify, and to provide for their educa
tion and training at schools or seminaries, by and
with the sanction and approval of the Bishop.” Thie
“ Jy. under the direction
bare their brethren of the same race to teach and to
minuter to them in holy things. Besides which,
what a prospect opens before ns of preparing a steady
and continuous supply of missionaries tar poor, be
nighted Afiffta, whose peculiar constitutions are
adapted to its inhospitable climate. In this vast
country, with itslhst increasing population, we heed
a seminary at the South lo carry out these pip-poses.
Hie Church calls for it—the country needs it. Bqt
what can we do bnt lilt up our hearts in prayer,
white we present our hands to yon ? We are stripped
of all dur gooda-i-we are wounded end left on the
wayside to die-thnt come in. like the Samaritan, and
bind op onr wounds, and pour in on and wine-—that
being given strength to work, through our labors
here the 11 desert may be made to bloom and blossom
as the roae.”
Ton will please send yonr donations to me.lnCanv
