General* Steedman and Fullurton
among (lie Sea Islands.
(lens. Steedman and Fuliartnn are prosecu-
their investigations into tlie condition of
the Field men's Bureau with terrible energy.
They have just been overhauling the famous
-Sea Islands,” on the coast of South'Carolina,
where the Bureau 1ms bad full swing for up
wards of four years. They have discovered
abundant evidences that in the past the ‘freed
om’ have been grossly robbed and ill-treat
ed. an I that some of the agents of the Bureau
lave made large amounts of money in the most
reel and dishonest manner, but .they report
the present administration to be a great im
irovement upon the past.
For tlie purpose of making the ‘freedman’ a
lantcr, the "Sea Islands,” twenty in number
nd ranging in extent from 2,000 to 100,000
seres, were divided into 40 acre Harms and sl
otted among the negroes.
Like all similar experiments the Cornmis-
loners have ascertained that this has failed
ignallv. The freedmen to whom the land
sxj assigned have made nothing, their farms
ire neglected and they are supported by char-
:t. Their crops were miserably poor, and
hry were cheated out of all they made, says
j correspondent of the New York Herald,
■by Northern speculators, working under tho
hailow of the Freedmen’s Bureau.”
On the "Sea Islands,” as on tlie coast of
'ortli Carolina, the commissioners found a
soling negrophilist from Boston cheating,
bulling and oppressing tho “freedmen.”—
Ley found this wretch hiring laborers at the
niinal sum of fifty cents a day. This sum
« paid not in money, but in provisions, for
bich four prices were charged by tlie pious
»ritan. Com was doled out to tho poor
licks at three dollars per bushel, and crack-

Yours, very truly,
is but one means of preventing this possible
direful condition; and that is, to abandon
these low purlieus aud seek employment in
tlie country. This course is most earnestly
recommended to the freed people.”
Whilst the City Council are making laud,
able efforts in effecting measures of precaution
against the invasion of cholera, and other
summer and autumnal epidemics in certain
portious of the city, its purliehs and environs,
tlie places most likely to become centers of
epidemic visitation, seem to have attracted
thus far no public attention whatever. -
Having witnessed Cholera in its various
phases of mildness and malignity, and being
well acquainted with its behavior in many
localities, we venture the prediction tlint,
should it make its appearance in this vicinity,
that its first point of attack will be witnessed
in some filthy hovel on the border or in ‘the
suburbs of tho city of Macon. From this
point it will travel round the city, as if in
search of a congenial companion (filth) con
taminating the circumambient air in the line
of its march, until tlie circuit is completed, so
to speak, when it will assume the character of
an endemic, attacking indiscriminately all the
inhabitants within the circle of cholera
poison, to the intensity of which every
particle of debris, or filth, would contribute
a full share of influence.
Hence, in a sanative point of view, it would
be of little avail to thoroughly cleanse the
city proper, and i.t the same time leave any
portion of tho suburbs reeking in filth
But the City Council may say that they
have no right to interfere with matters out
side of the city limits, and this is strictly
true in reference to all matters of special con
cern to tlie city, nevertheless, the City Coun
cil are citizens of Bibb county, aud, in that
capacity, they should, and doubtless will,
exert their influence in affecting nn abate
ment of any nuisance in immediate proximi
ty to tho city, in anticipation of a threatened
epidemic. In a majority of instances cholera
is endemic, that is, confined to a single city,
or small district of country, but where tlie
local concentration ot the disease is intensified
by favoring circumstances—as ill ventilation,
decomposition of vegetable and animal mat
ter, terrestrial emanations, or malaria from
whatever source it may originate—tlie disease
may soon become rapidly epidemic, extend
ing over a wide region of coflntiy. Whilst
it is true that this fell scourge, Cholera, revels
in filth, and generally plays its most conspic
uous part in cities, it is no less true that the
country is equally subject to it where it as
sumes an epidemic character, and unless all
precautionary measures proper for a city are
adopted by the country people, the ratio of
mortality with them would equal that of the
cities in their vicinity.
If, therefore, cholera should visit Macon,
Bibb county would probably suffer in exact
proportion to the degree of cleanliness, ven
tilation nnd absence fiom exciting influences
trepidation,excesses of any kind, change
of food or habits, etc. It is a fact well known
to every ono who lins witnessed the prevalence
of cholera, that fear is a powerfblly presiding
cause of its development in individual cases.
Now. that file status of the negro has been
changed from slavery to thnt of freed men.and
his proverbially filthy habits left to his own
direction and control, he would prove him
self to bo a most baneful clement of society
on tlio advent ofcholera in onr midst. There
are hundreds of negroes, this very moment,
in and arnnnd 3facon living in the most filthy
imaginable conditions, huddled together by
tlie dozen, in some instances in a ten-by
twelve room or tent, without any visible
means of support, nnd many of them without
any employment whatever.
Between Vinevillc and tho river there are
probably fifty of this class of negroes, who, it
is believed, live by stealing everything they
can get their hands on. About fifty head of
cattle and a large number of hogs have been
stolen from the people of Vineville and the
northwestern part of 3Iacon within tho last
twelve months. The hides and heads of tho
cattle have, in many instances, been found in
the immediate vicinity of those negro nuis
ances and annoyances. Would it not be well
for tho present grand jury to look scrutiniz
ingly into this condition of things around
Macon t and would it not be well to have
those filthy, lazy, visceous, and thieving crea
tures sent to the country where they conld
make an honest living by manual labor ?

[Special Dispatch to the K T. Xcws.l
From Washington.
Washington, May 25.—There is no more
probability of the speedy trial of Jefferson
Davis now than there was two .or three
months ago. Indeed, the opposition to hav
ing him tried in the civil courts is so great
sometimes it seems that the whole project of
having him so tried.will have to be abandon
ed. The Chief Justice, the Attorney General;
and the Radical leaders generally, are at the
bottom of this opposition, which is founded
on the well-known fact that a civil trial
would* result in the full acquittal of the pris
oner.
Every possible obstacle, therefore, has been
put in the way of such a trial, and the At
torney General lins now decided to postpono
it until the next December term of the Court.
The radicals freely express the most blood
thirsty vindictiveness toward Mr. Davis, and
do not hesitate to express the desire thnt he
should die in prison rather than be tried nnd
acquitted. The House Judiciary committee
are so silly as to continue tlieircfforts to have
3Ir. Davis tried before a military tribunal as
an active accomplice in the assassination of
3Tr. Lincoln, anti they authorized the state
ment to be made only yesterday that they had
full proof of his guilt.. It is reported that
3lr. Davis is to be released on parole, in ac
cordance with the request of 3Irs. Davis'. It
is the opinion of the highest medical anthor-
ity that a few weeks more confinement
would terminate his life.

THE QUEEN OF TUB REPUBLICAN COURT RE
DUCED TO POVERTY.
New York, May 26.—The Daily News
makes public a story of deception and crime
seldom met with. It apjiears that when Mrs.
Gen. Eaton, so famous as tho leader of social
and fashionable life in Washington during the
administration of President Jackson, became
a widow in a foreign land, she returned to
this country, taking up her residence. She
adopted two of her grand-children, a boy and
a girl, and, with a competence amounting to
at least one hundred thousand dollars, was
living very happily.
At length an Italian adventurer named
Bourgonair was employed as dancing master
for the children, and they took such a liking
to him that they prevailed upon their grand
mother to allow him to be introduced to
their home. The result was, that lie married
3Irs. Eaton, and succeeded eventually in get
ting possession of all her pronerty. Nor did
he stop here, but prevailed upon her to place
in his charge the property she had set apart
for her grand children, ail of which he had
full use nnd benefit of. He then set to work
to'corrupt the girl, and finally sailed with
Burning or the New York Academy her for Europe last Wednesday. He left a
” * - note for Mrs. Eaton, in which lie told her he
had converted her property into cash, and
would allow her $20 per week if she would
keep the matter still.

Washington, May 26.—A case involving
the constitutionality of the Civil Rights bill
has just been decided adversely by Judge
Thomas, of the Circuit Court of Virginia, sit
ting in Alexandria, in civil action between
white men. One of the parties offered to
produce negro evidence; the Judge decided
that inasmuch as the State laws of Virginia
forbade the introduction of civil testimony in
civil suits to which white men alone were
parties, tho evidence of the negro was inad-
missablc, and that no Congressional legisla
tion could impair lier right to decide what
persons or classes of persons were competent
to testify in her courts.

The following singular statement is copied
from the New York times. The charge im
plied against Bennett is incredible:
statement of max maretzek.
I am at a loss to understand the cause of
the fire, ualcss it was the act of an incendi
ary. I am convinced, indeed, after careful
examination, and upon a review of all the
circumstances attending the fire, that it was
the deliberate act of interested parties. That
I was not interested is evident from tho fact
that I have lost some seventeen thousand
dollars. The fire was first discovered under
the parquettc, and almost at once it appeared
at the roof of the Academy. The place be
neath the parquettc has nut been used..to my
knowledge, since the Bal d’Opera, and no
fire is ever needed there. SDne. Gazzaniga
was, it seems, somewhat tardy in leaving the
house after the opera, and whilcFvct in her
dressing-room was accosted by two men, who
said to her: “Come, hurry up, Madame, you
are late.” At that time, even, the house
smelled, I am told, as if it was filled with
brimstone.
Last November, Stephen II. Branch met me
and said, “3Iy dear Max, before a year
is passed, eveiy one of the managers in the
Managers’ Association will be assassinated or
his house will bo burned down.” Well,
Mr. Barnum’s Museum was burned, and But
ler’s, 444 Broadway, was burned, and now
the Academy is gone; so Stephen, it seems,
was a pretty good prophet. At any event,
tlie work was well done—all is lost thatcould
be reached but as Webster said, “I still live,”
and if any body lias a claim against me, let
him present it. Tho arrangements for next
year are good as ever, and let him laugh who
wins. As for myself, let us wait awhile.—
Fortunately, my insurance runs from June to
June, so that I am covered. If any other
person, by any chance, should have a grudge
against me and tlie Academy,as,for instance, if
I,in common with Butlcr.ofNo.444 Broadway
ahd Baraum, of the3Iuseum, should have
taken an active part in a crusade against any
body, in any way, why of course he or it
would be glad to bare me burned out, as Bar-
num was and as Butler was (queer coinci
dence—wasn’t it ?) But of course there is no
such person—oh, no—“not for no money.”—
It is possible that tiie fire was accidental, but
not probable. Quite naturally I look, and so
will the public, thank God, at both sides of
this affair, and if there are any parties whose
interests could lie served—personal, profess
ion:.-, or general—by this incendiarism, they
will be dosely scrutinized, and, if guilty,
brought to retribution.
Thefiro was extinguished on Tuesday at

amount to nearly two millions of dollars.
To the Editor of the Metropolitan Record:
JIr. Editor : 3rurder will out, and so will

before the Destruction Committee, I have felt
roller slighted because no mention ain’t been

pfessed, but I am not to be hid out in obscu
rity. Our country is the special jury, and by
and by thi3 business will go up liefore it on
appeal. Tho record must go up fair ami
complete, and therefore I’ll take occasion to
make public what I Swore to: I said a good

and at times my language was considered im

better for their side, for it illustrated the

When I was put on the stand old Boutwell

with a memorandum book, getting ready to
note down some “garbled extracts.”
Old Iron Works was_ Chairman, and when,
he nodded his Republican head, old Bout-,
well says he: “Your name is Arp, I believe,
sir?”
“So called,” says I.

“I can’t say exactly,” says I. “I live in
Rome, right in the fork of two injun rivers.”
“In the State of Georgia,” says he fiercely.
“In a state of uncertainty about that,” says
I. “We don’t know whether Georgia is a
State or not. I would like for you to state
yourself, if you know. The state of the
country requires that this matter should be
settled, and I will proceed to state,”
“Never mind, sir,” says he. “How old are
you, 3fr. Arp i”
your children wpl deny that their daddies
Re. ever belonged to such party. Ercusa me,
I gentleman, but I’m a little excited. Five
cents a pound on cotton will excite any bod v
that makes it. Tax on industry—on sweat
and toil. Protection tariffs for Pennsylvania
and five cents a pounkl tax on Southern cot
ton—half it’s average worth—and your tolks
will manage some way or other to steal the
other half. My advice to you is to quit- this
foolishness and begin to travel the only read
to peace.”
Old Blow couldn’t keep up with his garbled
extracts. : 1. ,
1‘Wliat makes the President so popular at

“Contrast, sif—contrast. The more ho
ain’t like your party, the more popular he is.
Ho would treat us^ about right, I reckon, if
you would let him alone,"but you bedevil
him so that sometimes he -don’t understand
himself. I don’t think lie knew for a while
whether his Peace Proclamation restored the

on and impeach him, and. that will bring
matters to a focus. I’ll bet you’d be in Fort

Tiie Jury that Indicted Jeff. Davis.—
Norfolk, Va., 3Iay 23,1866.—A recent publi
cation in the Baltimore Gazette, and other
facts which have come to our knowledge,
render it proper that wc should make to the
public a brief statement of the circumstances
under which we appeared as witnesses before
the Grand Jury of the United States Court,
which found a bill of indictment against tho
Hon. Jefferson Davis, at their recent session
in this city. This explanation is wholly un-
necessaiy to those who are acquainted ’with
our antecedents and sympathies; but, in or
der that our position may not be misunder
stood by any man, we desire to state that we
did not go before the Grand Jury as willing
witnesses. We went most unwillingly, in
obedience to a peremptory order of tho Court,
served upon us by the United States Marshal.
It may not be improper to add, that wc de
clined to answer many questions propounded
to us by the Grand Jury, on the ground that
if the crime of treason has been committed,
the answers to those questions would tend to
criminate ourselves equally with Mr. Davis;

Warning to Shouting Negroes.—The
Atlanta Intelligencer relates the following
incident:
Wc learn that a negro woman, from ex
citement, and perhaps other causes unknown,
fainted in one of the African churches on
Sunday last, and died in a few moments.—
She was borne from the church on a litter,
followed by the congregation. The circum
stance was rather an unusual one.
MIL SEWARD THANKED FOR REPRESSING KE-
• NIANISM.
Sir Frederick Bruce has conveyed to 3Ir.
Seward the thunks of himself and his Govern
ment for the efficient manner in which our
Government repressed tlie late Fenian demon
strations against Canada. He expresses him
self oa being satisfied thnt all danger is now
over; but intimates that the British Govern
ment is now fully prepared to repel all such
attempts, either against Canada or Ireland.
SANTA ANNA TO KE PRESENTED TO TnE PRESI
DENT.
It is reported that the difficulties between
Santa Anna and Scnor Romero have been ad
justed by tlie good offices .<£ 3Ir. Seward.
Santa Anna will soon be presented to the
President. In the meantime his officers who
arc here express themselves ns perfectly satis
fied with the progress which their scheme is
making.
The information in regard to the condition
of affairs in 3Iexico, contained in my last dis
patch, is from authentic sources, and may be
relied on as correct in every particular. The
European members of the diplomatic corps
hero are, I believe, unanimous in the opinion
thnt a European war is by no means certain,
and that the pence of Europe may yet be pre
served. It is admitted on all hands, howev
er, that the issue rests entirely with the Em
peror Napoleon. • Druid.
TRIAL OF MR. DAVIS LIKELY TO BE POST
PONED.
Washington, 3fay 2C.—The trial of 3fr.
Davis, under the Norfolk indiccmcnt, will,
doubtless, be postponed until August or Sep
tember next, in consequence of the strong
feeling prevailing in Richmond on the sub
ject. 31ucb animosity prevails toward the
jury who returned tlie verdict, and. until
this subsides the Attorney General thinks it
best to delay the trial. The Council for tho
Government will consist of Attorney Gener
al Speed, John II. Clifford, W. H. Ernrts
and Aloj. Gen. L. II. Rousseau.

Blown Up.—A negro boy, named Ed
mund, was out gunning on Saturday. In the
course of his day's sport his supply of ammu
nition became exhausted. He found an un
exploded shell and attempted to empty the
powder front it While prosecuting liis en
deavors the shell exploded. His body was
literally tom to pieces. He was buried
through the generosity of a white person
who liad formerly known or employed him

One of Brownlow's defenders says,
“he lights the devil with fire.” He might
have added that lie expects to fight Brown-

THE FREEDOM OF FORTRESS MONROE GRANT
ED TO JEFF. DAVIS.
Fortress 3Ionroe, 3Iay 25, ’66.—Instrac
tions from Washington were received this
morning by 3Iajor General Miles, to give Jef
ferson Davis, on his parole, the freedom of
the fort, retiring to his room, at Carroll Hall,
at night. Messrs. Shea and O’Conner, his
counsel, have been allowed access to the fort,
and private interviews with him at any time.
3Irs. Davis left here on the 22d, and was in
Washington yesterday.
The Latest on Fenianism.—All that re
mains of the Fenian scheme has assumed a
well defined shape; its purpose is made mani
fest and its duration is defined. Mr. Stephens
ir the expounder of a new method of rescuing
Ireland from the grip of tho Saxon, and pro
poses to carry it out. He has made a speech
as New-Heaven, nnd lays down the law for
the information of his followers in a style that
must convince tho most faint hearted. In the
first place, he has an army more than enough
to meet the English asmics. In the next
place, the attack must be made in Ireland—
one on tills side would ruin the cause, which
those who think it ruined already will be
very glad to learn. Then he will continue to
work here for Ireland for ono year, and at
the end of that time go back and “meet his
fate”—that is, if he cannot be a conqueror
he will be a martyr, which is very magnani
mous indeed. But tho thing of all others to
be done, first last, and all tho time,
to_ get money—and to take
care of it This department 3Ir. Stephens
proposes to make his own special and pccu-
l iar charge. He would, Bays he. have all
moneys sent to aim and not to a treasurer;
he should place them in a bank to hi* credit,
and monthly send remittances to Ireland for
one year, when, if he had funds enough to
buy Jwar material, he would begin active
work; if not, then he would give up the con
test Whether the money is in the last con
tingency to be also given up does not appear,
but who can doubt that every cent will be
accounted for ? Why, ppon the principle of
shooting away a second arrow to find the
first perhaps all the money collected up to
the present time will also bo discovered at
the end ot the probationary twelvemonth,
and it would be mighty convenient to many
investors if a final settlement say in June,
18G7, included the little amounts that have
already so mysteriously vanished. To bring
on tlie dollars, therefore, is now the duty of
all Fenians. 3Ir. Stephens will, for tlicir
sakes, take great care of tho funds, and for
his own sake will take still greater care of
“That depends on circumstances,” says I.—
“I don’t know whether to count the last five
years or not. Durin the war your folks said
that a State couldn’t secede, but thnt while
she was in a state of rebellion slie ceased to
exist. Now you say we got out and we slian
get back again until 1S70. A man’s age has
got somethin to do with his rights, nnd if wc
are not to vote, I don’t think wo ought to
count the time. That’s about ns near as I can
conic to my age sir.”
Well, sir,” says he; “are you fnmilliar
with the political sentiments of the citizens of
your State i"
■ “Got no citizens yet sir that we know of.
I will thank you to speak of us as ‘people.”'
“ Well, sir,” says he, ‘Til humor your ob
stinacy. Are the people of your State”-
“Don’t speak of it ns a State sir, it you
please. I’m on oath now, and you must ex
cuse me for being particular. Call it a *scc
tion.’ ”
“Mr. Arp, are tlie people of vonr section
sufficiently humbled and repentant to come
bock into the Union on such terms as we
may think proper to impose ?”
“Not much they ain’t” says I. “I don’t
think they arc prepared for it yet. They
wouldn’t voluntarily go it blind against your
hand. They say the deal wasn’ fair and you
have marked the cards aud stole the trumps,
but at the same time they don’t care a dam
what you do. They’ve become indifferent
and don’t care nothing about your Guy
Fawkes business. I mean no respect to you,
gentlemen, but I was swore to tell the whole
truth. Our people aint a noticin you only
out of curiosity. They don’ttexpect anything
decent, or honorable, or noble from you, and
they’ve gone to work diggin nnd ploxvin and
plantin and raising boy children.”
■ Right here the man with a memorandum
scratched down a garbled extract, aud old
Boutwell says lie: “What do yon mean by
that, sir? Wliat inference do you intend?”
“I’m statin facts,” says I, “you must draw
your own inferences. They are raitin hoy
children. Any harm about that ? Any trea
son ? Can’t a man raise boy children ? Per
haps you would like to amend the Constitu
tion and stop it. Old Pharaoh tried to stop
it among the Israelites, but it didn’t pay —
He finally caught the dropsy in the Red $ca.
We arc raisin boy children for the fun of it.
They arc a good thing to have in the house,
as Mrs. Toodles wood say;”
“3Ir. Arp, are not the feelings of your peo
ple very bitter towards the North ?”
I beg your pardon, sir, but you’ll have to
split the question, or else Til have to split the
answer. Our people have a very high regard
for honorable men, brave men, noble-hearted
men, and there’s a heap of ’em North, sir,
and there’s a heap of widows and orphans
there we are sorry for; but as for this here
Radical party, they look upon ’em
like they was hyenas a scratchin up the dead
for a livin. It’s as natural to hate ’em as it is
to kill a snake. It’s utterly impossible for
me to tell tlie strength and length, and bight,
depth and bredth of tlieir contempt for that
party. They look upon a Radical as—as—as
—well as a beggar on horseback—a buzzard
sailin round a dead eagle—a suck-egg dog
creepin up to the tail of a dead lion. They
talk about hirin Browrilow to abuse ’em, to
use language on ’em, like he did a few years
ago when lie spoke against Pyrne.. If they
do hire Brownlow he’ll spatter’em, he’ll daub
’em all over, and slime’em, and slobber on
’em about right, and it will stick, for the
pores arc open and their morals spongy. I’d
like to stand off about ten rods and hear him
spread himself It would be worse than a
squirt-gun full.of cotv slop, and I have no
doubt would give general satisfaction.”
“That’s sufficient, sir,” says old Bontwell.
“Ef it was in their power to do so, would
your people renew the fight ?”
“Not unless they could fight the Radicals
all alone, and all the world agree to “hands
off.” Even then there wouldn’t be no fight,
for we couldn’t cotch you.”
“What do your people say on tho subject
of negro equality ?”
“They say it’s a lie, sir—it don’t exist by
nature and never can in practice. Folks were
not created free and equal That may be a
theoretical truth, but it’s always been a prac
tical lie. There’s grades of society everywhere.
There’s men I give the sidewalk to, and there’s
men that gives it to me. There’s men that I
vote, and men that vote me, and the grades
up, up, up, step by step, from my sort to 3Ir.
Davis and JIr. Stephens, and General Lee,
and nowell Cobb, and Ben. Hill, and their
sort; for they are the highest in the nation;
and then again it goes from me down, down,
down to tho niggers and the Republi
cans and the Radicals, and that’s os low
they run. There ain’t no equality
and you can’t make one. We’ll vote the nig
gers certain. Fll vote Tip, and Tip’s a ‘head
center.’ He’ll vote about forty, and the first
thing you know we’ll elect seven big, black
greasy niggers to Congress. We’ll do it cer
tain—seven of’em 18 carats strong, with Af
rican musk. The other rebel States will do
the same thing, and you’ll have about fifty of
’em to draw seats with, and you can all stick
your legs upon your desks together, and
swap lies and vermin, and shampood at the
same shop, and the fair sexes can set together
in the galleries and mix ordors, and fan their
scent SDont promiscuous. We’ll give you a
full benefit of your Civil Rights bill, see if we
don’t
You go on—play your, cards. We are bidin
our tune. We are payin your taxes and your
duties nnd back rations for 1864, and licenses,
and your infernal revenue, and obeyin your
laws without bavin any hand in makin 'em,
and we are cut off from pensions, and public
lands; and you sold a poor man’s still in my
county tho other day because he couldn’t pay
your tax on some peach brandy he stilled for
his neighbors some two years ago; and soon
you’ll be sellin tho land for the land tax, and
you’re tryin your best to play the devil gen
erally ; but you’ll catch it in the long run.—
See if you don't. Talk about Fenians. When
the good men of tlie North and the South all
get together, they’ll walk over tiie track so
fast that you won’t have time to get out of
the way. You’l subside into obscurity, and
“What would you do with General Slier-
man ?”
Sorry you mentioned him. We’d have to
hire him, I reckon, ns a camp fiddler, and
make him sing “Hail Columbia” by fire light,
ns a warnin to the boys liow mean it is to
burn cities and towns and make war upon
defenseless women and children. No, sir our
boys wouldent fight under no such.”
At this time tiie man with the memorandum
put down some more garbled extracts.
“Do you think, JIr. Arp, that if the South
should ever hold tho balance of power, they
would demand pay for their negroes ?”
“I can’t say, sir. But I don’t think the
South has lost anything that way. We got
their labor before the war for their vittels
and clothes and doctor's bills, and wo get it
now for about the same. It’s all settled down
that way, and yonr Bureau couldent help it.
The only difference is in the distribution.—
Some ot us don’t own as many as wc used to,
but everybody has got a nigger or two now,
and thc’ll all vote ’em or turn cm off. A nig
ger that wouldent vote as I told him,
shouklent black my boots.”
. At this timo tiie Committee looked at one
another, seemin to be bothered and aston
ished. Garbled extracts were put down witi
a vim.
Jfr. Boutwell says he, “3Ir. Chairman, ]
think sir, we arc about through with tlie wit
ness. I think, sir, his testimony settles the
question as to what we ought to do with
Southern traitors.”
The chairman give me a Republican r.oi
and remarked, “Yes sir, I think we do. The
scoundrels burnt my iron works.”
Whereupon I retired, having given general
