REOONSTBUOTION--THE STAR CHAM
BER EXPOSED.
Important Correspondence.
' [From the National Intelligencer, 17th.
THE THIRD HOUSE OF CONGRESS—THE
STAR-CHAMBER EXPOSED.
We cannot forbear recording our deliberate
conviction that the object of instituting the Joint
Committee of Fifteen, usually denominated the
“Reconstruction Committee of -Congress,” was i
to work a revolution. We have repeatedly
argued, in support of this opinion, from the
acts and declarations ofleadcrs, as we had public
access to them. In the following communica
tion, an additional and most important insight
is afforded into the method whereby an artificial
public opinion in the North shonld be manu
factured, such as would render more plausible
the preconcerted reasons to be assigned for a
series of measures fatal to the liberties of the
whole people:
FROM THE HON. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM,
SENATOR ELECT FROM NORTH
CAROLINA.
[For the National Intelligencer.
The debate in the Senate, on yesterday, upon
the order to print ten thousand copies of the
report of the Joint Committee on “Reconstruc
tion,” detailing the evidence taken before that
committee as to the condition of political sen
timent in the several States of the South,'and
their fitness for representation in Congress, in
which allusion was made to the course pursued
by the committee in reference to the State of
North Carolina, and on application submitted
by me that Iter members elect shonld be per
mitted %< her what might be alleged to her pre
judice, and, if they deemed it proper, to cross
examine the witnesses against, her, it any, and
to adduce other testimony, renders it necessary
that I ask oLyou the favor to publish the fol
lowing correspondence. It was instituted solely
for the attainment of truth, and thereby, as I
trusted, to protect the character aqd rights of
the State and people I was deputed in part to
represent. The President of Hie Senate, at my
request, had done me the honor to present inv
commission as a Senator elect. Though it was
laid on the table in conformity to precedents in
other eases, and I was not admitted to the exer
cise of the functions it contemplated, it still, In
my conception, devolved on me the duty, in
conjunction with my respected colleagues elect
ed to both Houses, to observe the proceeding.-,
of the public authorities, and when occasion j
might seem to invite or justify it, to intervene
for explanation, so far as it might be allowed,
in defense of the interests and honor of our
State and ! iie fair fame of her people. Seeing
that an order to authorize the committee to
send for persons and papers had passed the
Senate, on motion of its chairman in that body
—Mr. Fessenden, of Maine -a proceeding un
derstood to imply that evidence is to be taken,
and a searching and thorough itivestig-atiou to
lie bad l applied for leave to lie present at the
culminations pertaining to .the State of North
Carolina, as will be seen in the letters follow
ing:
Hillsborough, N. January 17, 1806.
Hon. It' /ii. P. Fesssnden, Senate Vnited States:
Sin: Observing that you are first, named in
the Senate's l>r.ineli of' the committee upon flic
admission into (Congress of members from the
Southern States, and having forwarded to the
President of the, Senate, to be laid before that
body, my commission as a Senator from North
Carolina; perceiving, also, that the committee
has bei ii authorized to take evidence in the
matters submitted to it by sending for persons,
and paper.-, I take the liberty of respectful*
suggesting through you to the committee that
it will be but justice, in the conduct of its pro
ceedings in the premises, to permit the delega
tion elected from each Slate to lie present it
the reeeption of nil evidence touching such
State or any of its members, with the privilege
oi cross examining witnesses and ofintrodueing
counter evidence, if they shall deem it proper.
And for myself and my colleagues, I, with
deference, request the exercise of this pri
• vihige iu relation to all evidence having refer
ence to the State of North Carolina or any of
her members elect.
I am, with the highest respect,
Yonr obedient servant,
W. A. Graham.
My residence here is within twenty-four
?*P. IWjW&Dftuniey of tho eapifal, ’ifrM I will attend
milS? 1 ’ finWyiltißcuon notice from the committee.
, VV-AyutNOTOil, January 24, 1866.
De Vn 15 in t It is not customary to allovyji
erbss-examination ot witnesses. VeftiYc a com
mittee. appointed to report on a subject not in
volving individuals. The committee is sup
posed to.be desirous to aseertian the truth, and
capable of making all the examination necessa
ry.
The committee is quite willing, however, to
examine any witnesses who may be produced,
_ having knowledge of the snbjcct-mattpr, to any
reasonable extent.
The credentials of gentlemen claiming to be
Senators have not been referred to this com
mittee, and there is no probability that they
will he.
Yours, very respectfully,
XV. P. Fessenden.
Hon. W. A. Graham.
Hillsborough, N. C., Jan. 29, 1866.
Dear Sir: lam much obliged by yours of
the 24th inst. I had supposed the province of
vour committee to embrace that of a (Committee
of Elections and Privileges, before which I take
the rule to lie without exception that persons
claiming to be members arc permitted to have
what may be adduced against their claims, and
to bring forward countervailing evidence. If
this supposition be not correct, by reason of the
fact stated by you, that the credentials of gen
tlemen claiming to be Senators have not Jteon
referred, the question will recur, whether the
right of a State representation is not entitled to
an equal privilege of defense by those whom
she has chosen for that oflioe.
i know not what, if anything, may be alleged
against the right in question on the part of the
State of North Carolina. 1 am satisfied that
nothing can be alleged that ought to prevail;
but until the objections and proofs are known,
it it nut possible to canvass them, or to offer
contradictory evidence. My sole purpose is to
aid the committee, so far as this Slate is con
cerned, in the ascertainment of truth, and to
guard against ex parte testimony from unknown
or irresponsible sources. If, therefore, the
committee will at any time furnish notice of the
points on which evidence is desired, or of pre
judicial testimony which it is necessary to meet,
my colleagues and myself will gladly avail our
selves of its permission to offer such relevant
proofns may be in our power.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
W. A. Graham.
Hon. XX’m. P. Fessenden, Senate United States.
To prevent misconception, I esteem it proper
to remark that in giving these letters to t-lic
public, no reflection is intended on the motive
of the committee, much less on those of its
honorable chairman in the Senate, ns a gentle
man with whom, through a personal acquaint
ance of many years, i have ever maintained the
kindest and most respectful personal relations.
But it is obvious that, from inadvertence, or a
different view of the subject on the part of the
committee, or from misapprehension on ray
part, I have been disappointed in the expecta
tion of being allowed to hear what was imputed
10 my State as demerit, and of counteracting it,
if I could—a mistake from which some injus
tice has resulted. My inference, froili the cor
respondence, certainly was that the committee,
when they should reach the matter touching
North Carolina, would notify us of the points
on which evidence was desired, and would af
ford an opportunity to apply to adverse testi
mony the ordinary tests of truth, as well as of
combating it, if, in our judgment, proper to be
done, by witnesses called by ourselves. ’
I was, therefore, surprised, a few days since,
to learn that the committee had made report of
the evidence taken by them, and obtained an or
der for its publication—a proceeding which, in
a legislative body, as in a court of chancery, I
presume, implies that all the evidence has been
taken that it is designed to receive. This in
ference is confirmed by the application for and
adoption of the additional order to print 10,000
extra copies. It imports that the case, as to the
facts, is fully made up, and that upon these it
is to be submitted to the judgment of the two
Houses of Congress, and the still higher arbi
trament of public opinion. Now, I most re
spectfully protest that, if, upon anything con
tained in all this evidence, the people of the
State of North Carolina shall be condemned, or
kept in a State of condemnation, it will be n
condemnation without a hearing, when she
was entitled to be heard.
Os all the testimony received by the commit
tee, there is not a single affidavit having any
specific reference to her; and there is room
for hope that, from the absence of other evi
dence, she was not considered involved in any
great degree of demerit or criminality, and it
was not deemed necessary to prosecute the in
vestigation any further on that account. But
it cannot escape investigation, that in a State of
a million inhabitants, the only witness called to
speak ofher condition, the sentiments and ruling
motives ofher people, should be Lieut. Col.
Dexter H. Clapp, from one of the Eastern
States, an officer of the Freedmen’s Bureau at
Raleigh, who states that he i 6 conversant with
the people in some twenty counties out of
eighty-seven—a sojourner filling an office for
which there will be no necessity In a short time
to come, unless upon the theory that the gov
ernment of the State will not do justice to its
negro population in their new condition of
freedom. Ido not design to impeach the in
tegrity of this gentleman. He is spoken of in
terms of high respect by persons of our com
mon acquaintance. It has so happened. that I
have not met him. But surely his opinions,
loosely expressed, as they are in his affidavit,
(and nothing more fully illustrates the import
ance of cross-examination than the want of
precision in the language of his statement.,)
formed by intercourse, as he admits, among
less than one-fourth of the people of the State;
his vagus statement of a design to repudiate the
rebel debt, (what is meunt by this I do not com
prehend;) his sweeping assertion that “Union
men and freedmen stand a poor chance fbr jus
tice in the State coarts,” (an aspersion upon the
Sri-tUcchln Constitutionalist.
BY STOCKTON <fc CO
judicial officers of the State recently ehosen by
a Legislature elected under the restricted sys
tem of suffrage ordained by the proclamation of
the President and Provisional Governor, as
well an injustice to the general sentiment of
the people,) are all tooindefiniteandunsupport
ed to serve as the foundation for any action or
•ourse of policy on the part of the Government
towards the people of an entire State. Had I
been so fort unate as to have had the attention
of the committee, even after this affidavit was
taken, I think I could at once have more than
neutralized all the disparaging testimony of
Cpl. Clapp, by requesting that there might be
summoned another officer of the Freedmen’s
Bureau, some time on duty at Fayetteville,
North Carolina, who had equal opportunities
of observation, and I judge as much capacity
for improving them. This is Major Lawrence,
of Illinois, (I am told a brother of the chief
justice of that State,) whose letter recently pub
lished on these topics I hope to append to these
remarks, as well as the statement of Colonel
Clapp.
I had no design or wish to be examined as a
witness myself. I should have considered my
self rather as occupying' the place of counsel or
advocate of the State. And if the committee
had intimated a wish for such information,
would have taken pleasure in furnishing them
the address of gentlemen in every section ofthe
State whose acquaintance, whose integrity,
whose intelligence, whose loyalty and interests,
and identification with the country qualified
them to speak of the condition of affairs and
the state of feeling and opinion towards the
Government of the United States with full
knowledge; men whose ambition has been
chastened by the fires of adversity, whose afflic
tions and sacrifices would satiate a generous
foe, whose desire is to re-establish the constitu
tional relations of all the States with the Fed
eral Union, and, as preparatory to this, to dis
arm the spirit of revenge and the remoreless
passions engendered in a great revolution,
which, by reason of its want of success, many
are unable to distinguish from a petty rebellion.
And before Congress and the people, to
which this evidence is submitted for their ver
dict and judgment, I respectfully claim that the
State of which 1 am a citizen and a servant is
not. to he affected injuriously by any evidence
received by this committee. She lias in good
faith submitted herself to all the requirements
in that scheme of policy prescribed by the
President, from the Potoinae to the Rio Grande;
is obedient to every law of the Union ; is with
heavy '.acrifiees paying the arrearages of taxes
of former years to (lie United States as well as
present- levies, and not arrogantly, but confi
dently appeals to that sense of justice and those
remembrances of ancient friendships which
shall restore to her the full fruition of her rights
as it State ofthe American Union.

Ebbit Horse, Washington, March 16, 1866.
Extraordinary Story.
Tiie following statement has been made by
Captain Casey, the late commander and only
survivor of the British ship Jane Leuden, laden
with timber, from Quebec tor Falmouth, who
was rescued from the water-logged ship by tbe
Dutch hark Ida Elizabeth, of Rotterdam, from
Batavia for Amsterdam:
“We sailed from Quebec on the 28th of No
vember. Nothing particular occurred • until
December 20th, in latitude 37 deg. 47 min. At
eight, a., m., a fresh wind from the southwest,
j which increased to a gale at noon ; the barome
ter .28 IS. The gale increased, and at six, p. in., a
complete hurricane ; all hands st the pumps,
the ship straining heavily, and making, great
quantities of water.
“On the 21st still blowing a hurricane, the ship
: making more water, the pumps not able to keep
tier free, sea making a fair breaeii over her, and
all hands lashed on die pumps. At noon, a
heavy sea struck the ship on the starboard side,
smashing three boats and washing them over
board, with all the fresh water and every
movable article on deck. Sounded tie pumps
and found five feet of water in the hold ; at the
time running with close-reefed topsail and
reefed foresail before the hurricane. Tried to
take the foresail in, lint it blew to ribbons ; all
hands commenced at the pumps again. At
<5:30, p. in., in spile of every exertion, the ship
was full of water, the sea burying the hull, and
all hands obliged to take to the rigging. At
midnight the gale abated, the barometer risin:’
fast.
“On the 23d, at 10, a. m., die weather being
moderate, the crew were able to leave the tops
and get on deck; commenced finding provi
sions, and got bread and batter, potatoes and
some turnips into the top. At noon it com
menced to blow very hard from tbe southwest
and north—myself again compelled to take to
the fops. Atk aiji., tttfcjjalf increased ton
hurricane, causing the sea’ td rise fnarfnl)y,
whirh r '.’note hereto Her Worn
ends with 1 t jttets in the water, washing all
liands' lnio Tnc water, seventeen in number.
Nine of the number at once met a watery grave;
myself and the remaining seven, with a hard
struggle, regained the wreck. By this time the
bowsprit, fare-mast and topgallant-masts were
carried away with the sea.
“The remaining part of the crew got on the
ship’s side, and there secured themselves as
well as they could. In about one hour and
twenty minutes, the squall being over, the ship
rolled to an upright position, and we again took
to the maintop, lint to our sorrow found all the
provisions we had saved were washed away,
the cabin forecastle washed overboard, and no
thing left on board in the shape of provisions.
At half-pash 4, p. in., the whole of the stern
frame came out, taking the rudder and stern
post with it, the cargo coming out very fast.—
On the 23d, tiie weather moderated, and no
thing particular occurred till the 6th day of
January, when one of the crew, named Alfred
Bolton, fell from exhaustion, and at 9 o’clock
the same evening he died, and the next morn
ing we committed his bedy to the deep, having
been fourteen days without food of any descrip
tion.
“On the 7tli, one more; William Thomas, a
native of Wales, died; and in spite of all I
could do tiie men would drink salt water,
which drove them mad. On the day after (the
Bth) four more died from exhaustion, cold and
hunger, leaving me and tiie carpenter alone.—
\Y r c were so much exhausted that we could not
move the bodies into the sea, so we lowered
them on the deck of the vessel. On the 10th
the carpenter died, I being then the only sur
vivor ; and on the next day, as well as I could,
1 lowered the body on the ship’s deck. On the
23d of January I was taken off the wreck, af
ter being there twenty-eight days without food
of any description, by the Dutch bark Ida Eliz
abethi-of Rotterdam, from Batavia for Amster
dam. — Mobile Times.
(From the N. Y. Grain and Flour Reporter.
Ootton and Corn.
A Macon exchange states that little or no corn
will be raised in the South this year, owing to
the enormous profits which are expected to be
realized from.the growth of cotton. In view of
flic fact that t'ne South must buy all the bread
stuffs it needs, tiie same paper says: “ The West
must now feed us; and if the freedman turn out
to be a faithful laborer, the' trade between the
South and XXVst will exceed anything before
known.”
There is scarcely any doubt but that the
South will devote its whole energies to the
raising of cotton. It cannot possibly cost more
than eight cents a pound in gold to grow it,
while, if the crop turns out at all fair,"it must
sell for over twenty-five cents a pouud in gold.
So large and so certain a margin is rarely offer
ed for an agricultural product, and all accounts
agree that, with the freedmen or without them,
a very large amount will be raised if the season
is at all propitious.
So great is the demand for white labor to go\
to the Southwest, that there is an absolute scar
city of farm hands at the West, notwithstand
ing the stoppage of the war; and wages rule so
high that farmers are holding meetings to in
duce laborers to come from tiie East. Indeed,
there is a fear that the high price of labor, and
the rates charged tbr transportation of freight
on the railroads, will discourage the growth of
breadstuff's this year, when they will be much
needed to feed the South.
The heavy' trade which will sprtog up next
summer ants fall between the South and West
will have important political, as well as business
consequences. It will give great activity to the
ship-yards to supply the immense fleet of
steamers which will be needed on the Southern
rivers to replace those destroyed by tlio war;
while cities like St. Louis, Memphis, Cincinnati,
and Louisville will add enormously to their
trade.
The more intimate commercial relations be
tween the South and West will not be. without
their influence on the fall elections. If the pre
sent Congress persists in keeping the South out
of the Union, the West will be revolutionized
politically when Congressmen are to be chosen.
The. Western people are too generous, as well
as too shrewd, to needlessly humiliate the sec
tion which will be their best customer.
A Fish in an Oil Well—Singular Dis
covery.—The Pithole (Penn.) Record has the
following :
No. 66, T. Holmden Farm, has been pumping
oil and water for some time, and on Saturday
last the superintendent had the. tubing drawn
for the purpose of cleaning the well out and
drilling it deeper. During the operation they
struck a large crevice in the rock, and on using
the sand pump they brought to the surface a
live tisb, having no eyes, of a brown color, and
some four inches long. The fish was brought
from a dept h of six hundred and sixteen feet,
and no doubt felt as much surprised at being
introduced into this vale of tears as did those
who made the introduction. This specimen of
the internal production of the earth was put in
water immediately after being brought to the
surface, but being accustomed to a more retired
life a mixtnre of salt water and oil for food
and raiment, survived his changed condition of
life but a lew hours. He was as tightly “bot
tled” as Butler on the Janies, and is now on ex
hibition at iease 66. It will furnish food for
theoretically inclined individuals, as to how the
flail came there, and what its state of existence,
and what the formation of tiie lower regions it
inhabited.

How to Keep a Hotel.
Robinson, in the Now York Saturday Press,
says: Having traveled considerably in my time,
I have thought soiup brief suggestions, short
perhaps of a perfect manual on tiie subject,
might be useful.
Procure n well-dressed clerk, with curly black
hair, impossible, to stand at the desk, and by all
means insist on his wearing diamonds.
Seely visitors will take no liberties with such
a man.
XVhen a traveler comes in he is not to notice
him for the space of five minutes at least; it
puts the obligation at once where if belongs.
You take him in, not he you.
It is an excellent device to have the numbers
of your chambers reversed from tiie old plan.
i. e., let them begin to count from the roof.
Thus, when the guest sees the clerk put “No.
10,” for instance, opposite his name on the reg
ister, he departs satisfied, and is too much ex
hausted and cowed by the time lie discovers its
whereabouts to make any complaint.
Instruct your clerk that it is uot his business
to know anything about departing trains and
steamboats.
Also, if yonr house happens to be in a coun
try town, to add one dollar a day invariably to
all New Yorkers’ bills.
They will not think much of yonr house
otherwise.
When a guest has paid Mis bill, and is about
to depart, let the clerk ask cheerfully, “ which
way do you go, Mr. Robinson ?”
Some persons are so easily imposed upon
that the extraordinary fact of a highly bedizen
ed clerk’s knowing their names two minutes
after reading them on the register tickles them
tremendously.
Iu regard to the dining room yon cannot
have too impudent a man as head waiter
It should be his duty when a guest enters the
the room, no matter how empty it may be, to
take linn in convoy, and make him walk the
entire length of it before assigning him a seat
It not only serves to impress the grandeur of
the apartment upon him, but invariably dis
concerts bashful men, so that they devour their
meals meekly and make no troublesome re
quests.
Ladies should be served in tiie same wav for
exactly contrary reasons. .
H affords them a fine opportunity to display
their clothes, and puts them in good humor *
Let the sexes be kept religiously apart while
feeding, unless in the case of husband and wife
Married men t ravelling alone will suffer so
much from the dearth of female society that
the next time they will probably brine their

It will scarcely be necessary to make auy sug
gestions in regard to extra charges in the bill
as they will naturally occur to the feeblest of

You should always, however, charge for a fire
in winter in every room that has conveniences
tor H, and if remonstrated with, reply that it is
a “ rule of the house,” and the guest might
have had it.
This phrase you will find of immense service
on all sorts of occasions.

some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel

to find the cold ness and cramps had entirely left me,
and I could aleetp the night through, which I have not

MADISON, GA.
rpilE Artificial Legs and Anus (Uren’s Patent)
L manufactured by this Company, have mot with
the unqualified approval of the most skillful and dis
tinguished Surgeons amt men of science in France and
England: and after tiie closest and most rigid exami
nation in tills country, a Commission was issued by
the Surgeon General of the United States, in his
“ Circular Order,” May 13th, 1865, to have them fur
nished to each soldier "who laid lost a limb in the Fed
eral service.
THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW,
COVERED WITH RAW-HIDE, HIGHLY
ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER
VIOUS TO WATER AND UNAF
FECTED BY HEAT.
A Medium Size Arm weighs only Si
ounces, mid a Leg; from 4 to 6 pounds.
Notwithstanding their lightness they are very dura
ble, requiring but little expense to keep them in order,
and so simple m their construction that a common mo
chAiic can make any necessary repairs in a few min
utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with
an axe or break ii with reasonable force.
We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb
the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish
it as perfectly as possible. The natural motion very
oft i,>n is so perfect that in large number of eases it is
impossible to tell which is the artificial from tjje sound
limb.
THE AR M
is the wonder of the age and challenges ihc admiration
of the world. A person whose stump is one or move
inches in length and retains a healthy degree of force
and rigidity, can, with this arm, at will,
Raise the Artificial Hand to his Mouth, Forehead or
even to the top or hack of his Head,
Put on or take ofi his Hat,
Carry his Valise or Cloak,
Use the Iloe, Axe or Plough Handles,
Roll a Wheelbarrow,
Ami by securing a knife, fork, pen, nail brush or other
implement into the part of the hand prepared for it,
he can
Cut hi* Food and Carry It to hia Mouth,
Write with Respectable Clearness,
Wash the Remaining Hand,
Play the Violin,
Hold the Reins in Driving, etc., etc.
THE LEG
is equally as useful and beautiful, and as perfect a
piece oi mechanici an as the arm. The ankle joint is
so constructed as to give the natural motion with tho
assistance of the toe joints to tho foot, which being
connected to the upper part of Hie leg by artificial
cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lever
power, the whole resting upon a huff base, making the
step light, clastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing
one of these legs
Readily Walk Five Miles—Plough all da)’ long,
Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work,
Go Up and Down Stairs, with ease,
Mount and Dismount a Horse,
And with practice Run, Jump and Dance,
With two Artificial Legs Walk two miles Without
Resting,
Drive a Wagon—Make Salesmen or Expressmen,
Telegraph Operators, 4:c.
Our workmen are PRACTICAL ARTIFICIAL
ARM and LEG MAKERS, three of them using Legs
of their own manufacture.
OUR FACILITIES ARE UNSURPASSED.
Our Work Warranted for 18 Months.
PRICES:
For a neat, plainly finished Arm or Leg,
steel rivets and hinges $ 150
A fine limb, with silver plated hinges, high
