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. RANKIN HOUSE. ColiunhiiM, (Georgia, J. W. RYAN, Prop’r.
