JUDGE KEU.Y on THE CONDITION OF THE
SOUTH.
Hon. William D. Kelly, of Penn
sylvania, who loft here shortly after
the adjournment of Congress, for
Florida, with a view to recruit his
health, returned yesterday, and left
this morning for Philadelphia. Al
though lie spent, the most of the time
he was absent ia Florida, lie trav
eled extensively through Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Vir
ginia—keeping, ns he says, his eyes
and ears open, to ascertain for him
self tho condition of affairs in
the Soul it, avoiding tho Pullman
palace cars. While traveling lie min
gled freely with the people, white and
black, questioning them upon their
condition, their wants, and their ex
pectations. Asa result of his obsor-
various and researches, Judge Kelley
says tiiat he found every part of the
Mouth visited by him extremely de
pressed. The financial legislation of
the last Congress, he says, is driving
the South into insolvency, and not
until its repeal by anew Congress
will there be any recuperation in that
section.
Touching tlie outrage business,
Judge Kelly stated that the reports
which have been received hero are
not only gross exaggerations but in
many eases deliberate falsehoods.
“Li all my fourteen years in Con
gress,” said Mr. Kelly, “the only vote
I regret having given was that for tho
Force bill last session.” Mo far as he
could ascertain there was nooccasion
for such a measure in tho South, Ho
conversed with negroes of every grade,
and the universal testimony is, that
where a colored man is industrious,
minds his own business, and avoids
whiskey, he is not only prosperous
but is rapidly accumulating property.
It was only when I reached tlie po
litical centres, such as Columbia,
Mouth Carolina, and mingled with
the negroes, who have made polities
a trade, that I heard complaints
against tlie whites, and in nearly ev
ery instance investigation showed the
same to be unfounded. What tlie
Mouth wants, says Mr. Kelly, is mon
ey ; as is tho ease with a largo num
ber of people at the North, who are
out of work, and Anil it difficult to
make ends meet. The Southern peo
ple feel tiiat tiiere is something
wrong, and not knowing exactly
what it is they attribute it. to the rad
ical rule of the Republican party.
Judge Kelly took particular pains
to ascertain whether there was any
foundation for the story of anew re-,
hellion in the South. Questioning
tlie negroes and tho whites, tlie con
current, testimony was that such a
supposition was an absurdity. The
negroes laughed at the idea of lining
reduced to slavery again should tho
old Southern slaveholders come into
power.
