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?

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 m the hospital iu the mouth of October. According to tne legal maxim, “a witness false in a portion is fdrse iu his enlitd statement,” and the commission must give me the benefit of the doubt thrown on the testi mony of Russell a;:d Tetmore. •CX-irgr tl " R »bb.ery, iu violation of the laws of war," has not beta proven. 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. % The action of the Senate iu passing the bill for the AN EX HI B IT!

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.
