Conditio*, of A flair, in Oiorgla, Ala.
ba.i.a a .d MiHslsvlppi.
Tesllinoi.y of M.Jor General Thumaa.
Among th« testimony embraced in tbo re
port of tbi' Rnronsirn.itio'n Gommittoe, submit
tod to the House on Tuesday, is that of M >jor
General Tbomin, oomm inding the Military Di
vision of the Tennessee, inTegard to the condi
tion <4 nffiirs in Georgia, Alabama and M ssis
stppi. The ex'mutation was conducted,by Mr
1> on well, ol Ma sachtiserts :
General Thomas said : The people of Ala- '
bama are extremely anai ius to be tmder the !
Control ot the Hotted States, and to have that
State in its regular position to the Uoion, but '
they are not yet person illy triendly to Union t
meo. They are desirous to be under me Gov- I
eminent ot the Uoite i States, and haveatt-mp- ;
ted to pa-s l iws_»s judicious as they cand, i
al the time, to legt.ia.e the . If.irs oi the lieed- 'i
men. One ot their btiis was not considered I
Constitutional by the Governor, aud was ve- j
toed by him. Ha think- now that the Legis- I
iature will pass a just and fair bi.l to regulate
the affairs ol the Iteedmen ot the State. The
people t*>ere have bad a lair trial in their at- i
tempi to gain their rudep ndenee and have
failed.completely. They now profess to hive
given up the cantes , aud express tbemselVi s
d- sirous of resuming their relations with the
Government.
It is difficult to say what portion of the peo. |
pie are reliable Union m-n. Before the sects- !
sit n of the State, the m• j >nty of tbe people ot |
Alabama were lor 'be Union, and when the i
su ject as first submitted to the people a ma- ;
jorny voted against secession. I-un informed I
th it the State was evenlu .lly taken out ol the
Union by the trickery oi determined secession
iS'.s.
The people acquiesced in the result, and
many of them seemed to give up their Umou
sentiments, and some of tbe original Union
m -it have remained rebels, and are now in ,
sympathy with the enemies ot the Government. ■
Others have expressed their gladness that tbe i
rebellion has Peen crushed, j) d profess a de.
sire to h.ve the Siate back nt U lion; hut their
interests aud sy tnpatbies have such hold upon
them mt this time that it is v-ry difficult to ob
'tain clear expressions ot sentiment of any m m
there. I i.m inclined to think that a very small
portion of them would be willing to eacr fl m
their proceity and interest in the Souih lor
the sike of tne Union ; they did not do it be
fore, aud it is fair to p esume that they would
still adhere t ; the advancement of tl»eir
private interests in preference. to the interests
of the National Government. Io some por
tions of the Slate there is a very bitter 'eeltug
between those who have been Unionists during
toe war, aud those who have been idem fi-d
with the rebellion. In other portions the peo-<
pie a l seem to d< Bire to be Iran Uy to one
another, and to adhere to tiff* Government.
In some portions of Western Alabama the
sentiment is decidedly in favor of the Govern
ment; in other portio s of the State I think
i he sentiment might bo expressed in this way :
If they thought they pould establish a South
ern Confed racy they wool! prefer it, but,
seeing no hope of that, they desire to live
under the Constitution of tbe United States.
There is In Alabama a strong, decided dis
loyal sentiment, though, I think the Union
sentiment predominates in many portions of
the State. In tbe elections that hare taken I
place in that Slate I don’t know that it has i
been a universal thing for candidates to put
themselves before tbe people as having par- 1
ticipated, more or less, actually in rebellion, ;
but there were two distinct parties in North- j
ern Alabama, and the Union candidates were !
defeated, but I think the Union candidates I
there for tbe Legislature were all, or a ma *
jority of them, elected. I think in Central
and Southern Alabama tbe successful candi
dates were either officers of tbe rebel army
or active working reo Is.
Union men and freedmen have not, to any !
great extent, been in danger of their lives.—
But few instances o.t personal violence have
been reported to tne. Generally speaking,
the presence of United States troops, aa I offi
cers of tlie Freedmen’s Bureau has been suffi
cient to put down any demonstrations of
hostility. I do not think it would be expe
dient to remove the troops until the people
show that they are themselves willing and :
determined to execute civil law with impar
tial justice to all parties. I think public setr- >
timent is divided on tbe subject of allowing I
freedmen to become freeholders I have ;
heard of no legislation on that subject either ]
to empower them to become freeholders or
to prohibit them from becoming such.
It tbe national troops air'd Freedmen’s Bu.
reau were to be withdrawn from tbeStates at
this time, 1 don’t believe the Union men or
tbe freedmen could have justi 0 done them. :
Injustice toward them would commence in 1
suits in courts for petty offences, and neigh i
borhood combinations to annoy them so much
that they could not reside among them. I
am satisfied, iintil a better state of feeling
shall arise ; that if all restraint should he re
moved, tbe freedmen would be thrown back i
into a codition of virtual slavery ; that is, |
they would be compelled by legislative en
actments to labor for little or no wages, and |
legislation would assume such form that they !
would not dare to leave tliei 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
in the State ; they would be annoyed so
much in various ways that tb’ey could not j
live there in any peace or comfort,
I think emigrants from abroad would be
kindly received, but I thiuk emigrants from
the North, or Uhiou men, would be coldly re
ceived, and treated with indifference. I don’t
know whether any effort has been made or i
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 the negro character, I think
they would object to it. I think tbe mass of
them desire very much to continue to live in ,
their old neighborhoods, and with their old
masters—invariably, where they have been
treated well as slaves. I was born in a
Southern Stateand reared, to theags of nine
teen, in that country. Si..ce I have been in
tbe army, my service his been mostly in the
Southern States, and on the frontier border
ing on the Southern States. There is no
danger of trouble from the negroes remain
ing where they are unless the whites treat
them so badly that they are compelled, in
self defense, to rise up against them.
There is one section of Alabama where tbe
people, under tbe direction ol 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 propose to administer fair and impartial
justice between the employers and the ne
groes, and theyjhave also undertaken o es
tablish schools for the in-traction of negroes
and for education in the primitive branches
<f knowledge. Tbe disposition ot the negroes
for education is universal, especially among
the younger portion of them. Their capacity
for receiving instruction has not been fully
developed, but from nil that I can learn from
conversation with different persons, they pos
sess a fair capacity for acquiring knowleoge.
I think t e second generation can be instruct
ed much and thoroughly than the
present one, because, in a measure, the miod
of the negro is entirely developed at the pre
sent time, except in matters oi practical ob
setvation. I think, in many instances where
negroes have been assured that they would
be paid fair wages, they have gone to work
willingly and have continued nt work as long
as tbe contract h.,s been faithfully performed
on tbe part of iiis e i ployer.
I do not think Georgia differs materially
from Alabama There may be somewhat
more ot personal hatred toward the negro in
J his relation as freedm in. but as yet it has
| been easily controlled through the Freed-
men’s Bul’eau, and that feeling is constantly
improving in all the States
The people of Mississippi appoar to tno to
be more impulsive and more prone to stand
u > for i n I assert their opinions. -It is a dif
i ficult. matter to describe tbe difference be
tween tbe people of these two States, yet
there is a difference I consider the people
| of Mississippi tbe least promising. The peo
. pie o. that State do not listen to argument
J an I discussion with as mucb calmness as the
people of Alabama do. I don’t know that I
■ can g ve a decided opinion of tbe difference
in the state of the feeling in those Smtes
, now aud just after L e’s surrender, because
the repor s I received soon aftei Lee’s sur
render were generally from per-ons who trav
i eled hurriedly through that section of the
I country, f think that in tbe great majority
I of cases they were disposed to look on thb
j most favorable side immediately after the
surrender of Lee and the downfall of the
I Confederacy, and perhaps they did not inves
I tigate as closely as persons would at the pres
: ent time. Tbe universal report made to me
i by persons traveling through those States at
I that time, was to the effect that the mass of
the people were very happy at the downfall
j of the reb Ilion and at their prospect of soon
I again getting under the Constitution and gov
! eminent of Jie United States
Q Do you know anything from informal
l t on or report of secret organizations South,
i said to be hostile to the Government’
A. I have received several communications
| to that effect; but pe sons who h ive given me
the information have desir d tba their names
I should not be mentioned; and as yet no di- •
rect accusations have been made in regard to
any person or any class of persons. There have
been steps taken to ascertain the tru'h of tbe
j matter. The persons who are .in -communi
l cation with me are'reliable and truthful, and
I I believe their statements are correct in the
main, out h w far this disaffection extends I
am yet unable to saj. It does exist, 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 re
late?
A. It relates to all the States lately in rebel
lion. I think there is no real danger to be ap
prehended, because the military atybority and
I power il tbe Government is not only leared in
' those St ites, but I think it is ample to put down
I any serious di m lustration.
Q Is this information from different sources,
eaen independent ot the other?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. So lar as you are informed, what are the
nature and objects of the or<ranizition?
A. To embarrass the Government of tbe
Uniied States in the proper administration of
the affairs of tbe country, by endeavoring or
mik ng strong efforts to gain very important
conce-si ins to tbe people of the south, and if
possible to repudiate the national debt, incur
red in consequence of the rebellion, dr to gain
such, an ascendency in Congress as to make
provision for the assumption by Congress of
the debt incurred bv the Rebel Governm-n'.—
Also, in case the United States Government
can be involved in a foreign war, to watch
their opportunity and take advantage of the
fipst that occurs to strike for tbe independence
oi the States lately in rebellion.
Q. D > you know of any person ot influence
implicated in this in ivem-n ?
A. I have not. asceria ued that any persons
of influence are implicated in it, and Iw II
further state, in justice to the people of the
south, that I know many men who were prom
inent in tbe rebel a m? who I believe re now
honestly trying to b-coms good citizens of the
United States. They have been paroled, and
have applied to the President for pardon, and
are awaiting his decision. They h ive set them
selves to work quietly to earn an honest liveli
hood in some pr .cti al and peaceful manner,
thereby setting a good example to the other
t people of the South.

Washington, March B.—The Senate Judi-

tbe next meeting and reported at once to tbe

1 subject, and that is there should be some.
' thing done at once for navy officers.
The mania for ds-troying the various arti
cles of iurniture in the Executive mansion

A Daughter’s 'Dishonor Avenged.—A
terrible tragedy occurred at Bedford, Indi
ana, on Monday night. A physician came to
the knowledge of tbe fact that Pro'essor Mad
ison Evans, forme'ly a clergyman, iad seduced
his daughter, a young girl of sixteen years of
age, and that she was enciente by him. The
Doctor armed himself with a revolver and
dissecting knife, and sought th ■ house of
Evans, who was not at home. The Doctor
subsequently met Evans, and immediately
fired bis revolver at him, wounding him in
the h p severely, but not fatally. He then
drew his dissecting knife and nearly cut off
tbe head of tbe seducer, and continued stab
bing him until death ensued It appears,
from subsequent deve'opments, that Evans
had been attempt'ug the seduction es
the girl for three years. The Doctor and
Evins were neighbors. The latter was a
minister of tbe Christian Church, and a tnan
who, at one time, occupied a high position,
and was well known as the author of a work
entitled “The Pioneer Preachers” of Indi* 1
ana. A’, one time he occupied a chair in the
Northwestern Christian University, at Indi
