X.:e first charge against me is, ‘‘murder, in violation
oi iQQ nws of war"—and the specification alleges that
I struck and ^nocked down and kicked an unknown
man, of au unknown Tennessee regiment, indicting
iiijuries on the sAiue of such a nature that he died
in a few days afterwards, to witi the liiili of June,
lJoa. Two witnesses were introduced to prove these
nuns, to wit: Lnaries H. iiusSall and Teiazore. To
meet this charge of murder, X am called on to prove a
negative—to prove mat I did not murder in the man
ner alleged an unknown man of an uukaowa Ten
nessee regiment on or uboat the 13tli ot June, ld(J4.
dow am X to prove that X did not murder an unknown
man, where so many are said to have died each day,
tne number reaching as high as XoO within tweuty-
ur h ura. Would it be posssible to prove
aUO' in a case of this kind? To do
I would have to prove- where I was
each hour of the entire day. in fact X would have to
prove that I did not murder any one of the prisoners'
who are said to have died on or about the 13th of June,
1834. T is foul charge of murder i h.ve disproved
by my general good character, by my nuoiane treat*
mem. aud conduct generally towards the prisoners at
Au.ieisouviUe, aud by the fact that no witness except
‘Russell and Tetmore ever heard of cruel treatment on
my par:, or of ihe fact of my striking or kicking a
Federal prisoner, either inside or outside of the stock
ade; and it is not reasonable to suppose that if I hud
killed three prisoners in cold blood, as these witnesses
testified that X did do, that it would not have been
known by all the prisoners in and out of the stockade,
and that my identity would have been certain; and
yet, every witness, both for the prosecution and de
fence, testifies that my conduct was kind towards the
prisoners, and no one of them, except Russell and
i’eunoro, ever heard of these charges against me;
and again I state that if X had been guilty of these
murders, if such brutality had really occurred, would
it not have been known throughout the prison? Would
not the just ludigaatioa of every prisoner been
aroused and th<- name of the perpetrator of such foul
deeds been well known and his person so detested that
nr must have been the general topic of conversation;
and yet none heard.if these m irders except Russell
and Tetmore. Stone, Tate, Richardson, Loy, Green,
Phillips, Smith and others testify that they never
neard of such a charge against me, aud that no act of
tins kind could have occurred without Its coming to
their knowledge. There must be some cause tor mur
der—either the desire of gain, the love of revenge, or
the gratification of an innate cruelty and love of oiood.
Look to the evidence and see if mere is any cause j
which would have instigated me to so foul a crime as !
is charged against me. Was the simple act of picking
up a orust of bread by an unknown man sufficient to
.-*iept uu ter the same roof, aud enjoyed : arouse the passion of a sane man to that degree that
uud privileges that Mr. Griffith's ciul- ; he would commit murder? Can any member of the

which X took from the hands of a policeman; and this
on or about the X3th or 15th of June, ]8rti. Other
witnesses testify that' there were no policemen or po
licemen's clubs in the stockade until the 2nd of July.
If the}- were mistaken in this fact, may tiny not have
been mistaken iu my identity? These two witnesses
state taut the half-witted man was well dresseti; that
they saw him often around the ration wagons wiien
they came iu by the south gate. Other witnesses tes
tify—the weight of the testimony ia—that lie was nuked
or liMf-naked nil the rime, aud that ho died of disease

tne legal maxim, “a witness false in a portion is fdrse

give me the benefit of the doubt thrown on the testi
mony of Russell a;:d Tetmore.

pa III. Specification 1st charges me
- April 27,1836..
Congress is sore pressed to fix up & programme cf
reconstruction that will win in the next elections.’ The
radical party begin to experience tbe inconvenience of
being in power., The party in power are ahraysdom-
pelled to take the initiative. Indeed, one of the prin
cipal advantages of being in power, as regards politi
cal issues, is that the party in power has the choice of
which line of poiioy or which side of a question it will
take, whereas the party out of power is oompeiled to
support the policy. given out by the party in power,
which is an abdication of its mission of opposition, or
to blindly oppose every thing, whereby it often ia com
pelled to shock the common sense of mankind. The
difficulty of the radical party at this time consists in
his: One wing of the party are bent on forcing on the
aeoeded States negro suffrage. The other wing of the
parly do not wish to put thi9 condition of reconstruc
tion forward as a sine qua lion, because they do not
think the majority of the Northern people would sus
tain this position. > Hencs the trouble In the radical
camp to construct a platform that all the party can
stand upon. It is from this cause that we see the
trouble Congress has been in as to certain measures.
Take for instance the proposed amendment to the
Constitution in regard to the basis of representation,
which foiled to get the necessary majority. Hence
the several plans of reconstruction submitted—tho
Stewart plan, universal amnesty for universal suffrage,
Robert Dale Owens' plan to restrict representation for
the present to actual voters, and no restriction of
suffrage on account of color after ten years. Then
General Butler has been, it is' said, contributing a
plan also.' There is no doubt but that the
joint committee on reconsiruction have been wrang
ling extensively ou the subject. Instead of trying in
earnest to bring about a complete reconstruction as
soon as possible, their study, like the officials lu
Dioken’s circumlocution office, is “ how not to do it."
They want to keep the South out, and yet seem suffi
ciently anxious to restore the Union. What the radi
cal party will now propose to do, is chiefly interesting
as manifesting what they think is a proper platform
to go into the elections on. After the election they
will begin to see about the restoration of the seceded
States. Now they are seeing about majorities at elec
tions, " this and nothing more." If the radical party
were compelled to-dav to dispose of the question of re
construction practically, I think they would insist on
the following conditions;
1. Representation of actual voters.
2. Repudiation of Confederate debts and relin
quishments of claims for emancipation.
3. Amendment to Constitution excluding those who
have been prominent In secession movement.
But what they will do after the next elections will
depend on the results and circumstances of those
elections. The extreme wing will be working like
moles all ^he time to engraft their darling policy of
negro suffrage on the final adjustment as the corner
stone thereof. This extreme wing of the party is
strong, out of all proportion to their numbers, be
cause they have the power, which convictions give.
They represent the moral force of the party. They
are the grains of powder which hurl the cannon ball.
They have projectile force. 'Bey represent an idea,
and ideas are the kings of this lower world. '
One of the signs of the times that at first view seems
singular, is the constant rise of Government securities.
While, undoubtedly, a good deal of this is owing to
the increased confidence of the country in the ability
and stability of tiie Government; yet, it is equally
true that it is iu some degree, also, attributable to the
general stagnation of business; this stagnation caus
ing people to invest in Government securities. In
New York a vast amount of money is seeking^ invest
ment, and tinder such circumstances a great deal i3
invested in Government bonds. It is greatly to be
•regretted that there is not a greater disposition to
make investments at the South. It would be a great
j thing too for the South, as capital is one of their prin
cipal wants at this time.
•You see constant aliuaion3 to Mr: Baris’ trial.
Nothing positive is determined upon, except that it is
conceded he will be tried, and by a oivil tribunal. The
President will not hand him over to the executioner,
by delivering him to the tender mercies of a military
tribunal. %

SD-cUl&iUon 1IJ.—I respectfully call your attention
to the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution
to suhsianLiate this specification. Not one of them.
cxCiSptlnu Leary, testifies positively to my appropri
ating for my own use the provisions intended ror tne
i'ede. al prisoners. Leary’s testimony is, that I ap-
propri .ted bread and meal aud fed my hogs with the
same. I disprove this fact by tbe testimony of Stone,
L'aie,Richardson, Loy Greer, PhiU.ps and Smith, ail
Federal prisoners, whose opportunity of knowing the
facie was as good as Leary’*; aud furthermore this 1
witness. Leary, stands before the Commission im
peached, and three witnesses, to-wit: Phillips, Loy
and Greer, testify that he made oertain propositions
to them, which proposition* he, Leary, denied having
made, while testifying before the Commission. It Is
u-eiess for me to dwell on the testimony of this man.
The C^dSmission cannoi believe his statements unie-s
they disbelieve the testimony of Phillips, Loy and
Greer, who stand uuimpeached.
Specification V. charges me with breaking open
o.»xes of prisoners and appropriating the contents to
my own use. I disprove this o urge by the testimony
of several respactab e witnesses. I did break op u
i,Ue core:, and searched them lu accordance with the
orders of my superior officers, but I did not- appro-
priaie their comeuta and the testimony of the wit
nesses for lire defeuc. proves me guil less, aud I call
the attention cf thelC .mmisslou to this fact.
Consc.ous o: my innocence, aud debarred to a oer-
taiu extent from proving it more fully than I have, by
ihe Commission’s refusing my application for a con
tinuance of my trial uatil I could procure the presence
of fiTe essential and maierial witnesses who had been
subpoenaed, and by whom I feel confident that I could
prove to the satisfaction of the Commission my inno
cence of tne foul crime of murder, I fseV confident
that this Commission, composed of intellig.ntofflcers,
after weighing carefully tho evidence for aud against
me, must coma to the conclusion that if I am not
wholly Innocent of toe charges and specifications
against me, there is more than a reasonable doubt of
my guilt, and the humanity oithe laws requires you to
give to me the benefit oi that doubt
The spirit of the law, that law which spreads its pro
tecting power over this vast Bepublio, aud which is
tlie same iu the North as In the South, in the East as
is the West; the n of our fathers when no sectional
prejudice marred the prosperity and kindly feeling of
those who once struggled in a common cause; tne
spirit of that law is, that ninety and nine guilty men
saould escape, rather than one innocent man should !
oe found guilty.
Thanking you, gentlemen, for your kindness to
wards me. uud believing yott will do justice in the
premises, I leave my fate in your hands, trusting that
de who rules above all earthly tribuuais; who knows
tne aecreta of ail hearts, and knows that I am guilt
less of the charges against me, will ao guide your de
liberations Mat my innocence shall be muniihst and
my acquital the result of your councils.
It ie conceded that liters are not more than
7,000 voters in the territory, and the p .puiatian
actually decreasing, and yet this miserable concern is
admitted as a State. Why is Hits ? especially after
having been rejected by the Senate two months ago ?
It is because it is very important to have two mere
votes in the Senate who will go it blind on the radical
side. The bill will, of course, pass the House, but it
is equally certain, it will be vetoed by the Fresident.
Will his veto be overrated ? I think not.
