Having seen Dan Rice’s; testimony before the Destruction Committee,; I have felt sorter slighted because no men-1 Hoc lint been made of d3iac. I suppose it has been suppressed, but I am not to be hid out in obscurity. Our country is the spe ctsl jury, and by and by this business wiR go up before it on appeal. The record must go up fair and complete, and therefore I’ll take occasion to make public what I swore to. I said a gQod deal more than 4 can put down, Mr. Editor, and at times my language Was considered impudent, but they thought that was all the better for their side, for it Illustrated the rebellious spirit—l heard one of ’em say : “ Let him go on—the ruling passion strong in death. He’s good States 'evidence.” When I was put on the stand, old Bout well swore me most fiercoly and solemnly to speak the truth, the whole truth, and noth ing but the truth, and 1 observed that he was then entertaining about a quart of dou ble rectified, and it looked like it had soured on his stoomck. Old Blow was settin off on one side with a memorandum book, gettin 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, f be lieve, sir?” “ So-called,” says I. “ You reside in the State of Georgia, do you?” “ 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 fierce ly.” “In a state of uncertainty about that,” says I. We don't kuow whether Georgia is a State or not. I would like for you to state yourself, if you know. The state of the cuuntry requires that this matter should be settled, and 1 will proceed to state,” “ Never mitd, sir, says he. How old are you, Mr. Arp.” “ That depends on circumstances,” says I “I don’t know whether to count the last five years or nyt. Durin the war, your folks said that a State couldn’t secede, but that while she was in a state oi rebellion she ceased to exist. Now you say we got out and we shan’t get back again until 1870. A man’s age has got something to do with his rights, and if we are not to vote, 1 don’t think we ought to count the time. That’s about as near as I can come to my age, sir ” Well, sir,” says he; “are you familiar with the political sentiments of tbe citizens of your State ?” “ Got no citizens yet sir that we know of. X will thank you to speak of us as ‘ people.” “ Well, sir,” says he, “I’ll humor your obstinacy. Are the people of your Btate ” - “ Don’t speak of it as a sir, if you please. I’m on oath now, and ' excuse me for being particular. Gall it a ‘"“Mr Arp, are the people of your sW.Vm sufficiently humbled and -pentant 'O come back into the Union on such may think proper to (mpose „ T and .

They don’t, expect any ,ilng decent, or honorable, or noble from you, and they’ve gone to work diggin and plowin and pl mtio and raisin boy children.” Right here the man wuk the memoran dum scratched down a garbled extract, and old Botttwell says he : “ What, do you mean by that, sir? What inference do you in tend “ I’m statin fads,” says I, “ You must draw your own inferences. They are rain in boy children. Any harm about that ? Any treason 7 Can’t a man raise boy chil dren ?

They are a good thing to have in the houje, as Mre . Toodies would say.*-* Mr. Arp, are net the feelings of your peo ple very bitter towards the North ?” “ I beg your pardon, sir, but, you’l have to split the question, or else I’ll havo to split the answer. Our people have a very high regard for honorable men, brave men, noble-hearted men, and there’3 a heap of ’em North, sir, and there’s a heap of widoWs and orphans there wo are sorry for; but as for this here Radical party, they look upon ’em like they was hyenas a scratch in up the dead for a livin. It’w as natural to hate ’em **-H is to kill a snake. It's utterly ble for me to tell the strength and length and hight and depth anaTrCKaJt 'heir con tempt for that party They look upon a Radical as—as—as —well as a beggar on horseback—% buzzard sailin round a dead eagle—a suck egg dogcreepin up to the tail of a dead lion. They talk about birin Brownlow to abuse 'em, to use language on ’em, like he did a few years ago when he spike against Pryne. If they do hire Brownlow, he’l spatter ’em, he’l daub ’em all over, and slime ’em and slobber on ’em about right, and it will stick, for the pores are open and their morals spongy. I’d like tc stand off about ten rods ami bear him spread himself. It would be worse than a squirt-gun lull of cow slop, and l have no doubt would give general satisfaction.” “That's sufficient, sir,” says old Boutwcll. “ Ff it was in their power to do so, would your peoplo renew the fight?” “ Not unless they could fight the Radi cals all alone, and all the world agree to ____ •SOUTHERN HERALD. BY l), \. MARTIN A CO. t hands off.’ Even then there wouldn’t be no fight, for we couldn’t cotch you.” What do your people say upon the sub ject of equality?” “ They say it’s a lie, sir—it don't exist by ' nature and never can by practice. Folk* were not created free and equal That may be a theoretical truth, but it's always been a practical lie. There’s grades of society everywhere, there’s men I give the side walk to, and.there’s men that gives it to me., There's men that I vote, aud men that vote me, and the grades go up, tip, up, step by step, from my sort to Mr. liavis, and Mr. Stephens, and General Lee, and Howell Cobb, anl Ben. Hill, and their sort; for they are the highest in the nation ; and then again it goes fnen.wie down, down, down to the negroes and the Republicans and tbe Radicals, and that’s as low as they run There aint no equality, and you can't inak one. We’l vote the negroes certain. I'll vote Tip, and Tip’s a ‘ head center ’ Ile'l vote about forty, and the first thing you know we’l elect seven big, black, greasy nig gers to Congress. We’l do it certain— seven of’em 18 carats strong, with African musk. The other rebel States will do the same thing, and you ! have about fifty of ’em to draw scats with, and you can all stick your legs on your desks together, and swap ! lies and vermin, and be shampood at the same shop, and the fair sexes can set togeth er in the galleries and mix odours, and fan their scent about promiscuous. We'l 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 time. We are payin your taxes and your duties and back rations for 18(14, and licences, and your in fernal revenue, and obey in your laws with out 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 coun ty tbe other day because be couldn’t pay your tax on some peach brandy lie stilled for bis neighbors two years ago; and soon yoti’l be sellin the land for tbe land tax, and you’re tryin your best to play the devil gen erally; but you’l catch it in the long run. See if you don't. Talk about Fenians.— When the good men of the North and the South all get together, they’l walk over the track so fast that you won’t have time to get out of tbe way. You’l subside into obscur ity, and your children will deny that their daddies ever belonged to such a party. Ex cuse ne, gentlemen, but I’m a little excited. Five cents a pound on cotton will excite anybody that makes it. Tax on industry— on sweat and toil. Protection tariffs for Pennsylvania and five cents a pound tax on Southern cotton—half its average worth and your folks will manage some way or oth er to steal the other half. My advice to you ■ is to quit this foolishness and begin to trawl the only road to peace.’ Old Blow couldn’t keep up with his gar- | bled cxiTiets. “ What uu.v-es th*? President so popular ! at the outh ?” : Contrast, sir— The more lie ain’t like your party, the popular lie is. -« Id treat us about right, t reckon, if you would let m», j.,„ but you beuc n E;, n so, tluit. sometimes he don’t understand hu,. self. I don’t think he knew for a while whether his Peace Proclamation rcstor .-d the writ of habeas corpus or not. Bi tdo you go on and impeach him, and that will bring matters to a focus. I’ll bet you’d be in Fort Delaware in a week, and the Southern members be here in their seats, and they’ll look round at thq political wreck and ruin and plunder and stenla; s that’s been gnin on. and they might exclaim in the language of tbe poet, “ NYlio’s pin here since I 'eh pin gone f ” “ Mr. Arp, suppose we should have a war wikh England or France, what would the rebels do ?” “They’d follow Gen. Lee, and Gen. Johnston, and Lorn-street, and Bragg and old Bory. My opinion is, that Gen Leo would head tbe Union army, aud (Ln Grant would be bis chief of staff, and Gen Buel would rank mighty high, and ” “ What would you do with Gen. Bhcr man ?” “ Sorry you mentioned him. We’d have to hire, him 1 reckon, as a camp fiddler, and make him sing " I 101 l Columbia” by fire light, as a warnin to the boys how mean it is to burn cities and towns and make war upon defenceless women and children. No, sir, our boys wouldent fight, under no such.” v At this time the man with the nictuoran vjk-i—aif more irarblcd extracts. “Do jdtPthink, Mr. Arp, that if tl.cj South should ever bold the balance of power. ! p they would demand pay for their negroes ?” ; “ I can’t say, sir. But I don’t think the j Soath has lost anything that way. We got) their labor before the war for their vittels j and clothes and doctor’s bill, and we get it I now for about the same. It’s all settled j down that way, and your Bureau couldn’t ! help it. The only difference is in the dis- j tribution Some of us don't own as many as we used to, but everybody has got a nig ger or two now, and they’ll all vote cm or turn em off. A nigger that wou'.dcnt vote as I told him, ehouldeot black my boots.” -At-tbis time the Committee looked at ono ! anotoeF, seemin to be bothered aod aston ished <! extracts were put dowu with a vim.

They failing to pass I hat way, the negro then took Mrs. G. to a corn crib near by. and there carried ! out his hellish design. He then compelled her to follow him into the woods and there remain with him for tbe night, it raining all the time. All tlii* was done while Mr. Giisham was absent from home. The next day the negro left for parts un known, and no tidings were beard from until 1 j Sunday, loth instant, Mr. G. got on his track, and on Thursday, tbe 17th, a negro, ! supposed to be Joe, was arrested and put in j custody. Mrs. G. was then sent for and on seeing the negro Ics ified positively that lie was the identical one who committed the deed He was then ord. red to jail to await his trial, which was to take place before tbe County Judge on yesterday. It was while j I proceeding from the Jail to the Court House, 1 he was killed by Mr. Grisham. After killing the negro, Mr. G. gave him self up to the Judge of the County Court, who bound him over on a bond of three thousand dollars for bis appearance at tbe next Superior Court of the county. — Aw r- ; i icus liepiddican , 2t ith.
