Coster's Testimony Custer's Call Cm. tcr's Letter. yesterday made space in our columns We for a rather voluminous letter from General George A. Custer, In regard to the alleged discrepancy iound in his testimony given before the Reconstruction Committee on the 10th of March, and the call signed by him on the 10th of August. We have allowed the General to make his own defense, and will now give our readers an opportunity of judg ing for themselves. In his testimony, found on page 72-70, part 3d, Reconstruction Re port, we find the following evidence, which we give without comment : "Qucptlon. What would bo the condition of the loyal men in Texas now, In ruse the military protection now itllurded were witndra n lroiii the Stale 1 "Answer. I would not consider it safe tor a loyal man to remain in Texas, at least iu thui portion I have visited, alter the troop-" were withdrawn. I have within my possesion letters from prominent Union men in the State, saying that ii the troops were to be withdrawn ttiev wished to be informed of it, tor the purpose ot making arrangements to leave when the troops did; that it would be unsafe and unwise lor them to remain after the troops were withdrawn. The feeling of hostility towards loyal men is carried to such an extent that a loyal man eu satred in business received no patronage except i'rom loyal men, ( ''Question. State, as fully as you are uble, what were the condition, sentiments, and dispo sition ot the people ot Texas towards the ticue ral Government at the time you went into tlio State, und what they are now. And if any change has oucuired, give your opinion as to the reason ot that chimin. "Answer. When I entered the State last sum mer, I found the condition of tLe people, as regards their sentiments and intentions towards the general Government, to be as satisfactory as any loval man coiild wish, so far as it was observable. They made use ol no expressions hostile to the Government or against Govern ment officials, or against the poliey ot' the Gov ernment. So ling as tue policy ot the Govern ment towards the Southern States seemed unde veloped or unknown, themost submissive lectin; was everywhere prevalent. Those who had been enuaced in rebellion, particularly those who bad borne u prominent pan, teal'ze I, with out being told, that they hud lorfeited cverv right, even to that of li'e. They reearded the course of the Government as magnanimous in th extreme, and lar more generous than they had reason to expect. Afcr it was seen whnt policy was to be pursued towar-s the leader.-, and towards ihe Southern Slates generally, they assumed a more detiant position, a t ailed the Government, assailed the measures of the Gov ernment, denounced the system of provisional Governments which had been established in the South, were opposed to the location of troops in their midst., and were oppose.! to tne lccitlon ot accents ot the Freedmen's bureau. And this feeling continued to grow and manifest itselt more strongly, day bv day. 1 think their orwo sition to the Government and disloyalty Is as openly visible and as plainly manliest now as it was in 1861. "Question. State vour opinion t3 to whether or not ihe lenionc policy which has been pursued towards the Rebels has been beuelieial to that country, or otherwise. "Answer. In my opinion it has been very detrimental, not only to that portion of th? country, but to the entire country, and mora immediately to the interests of the Union and Union men' in the South. "Question. Is there as much freedom anion? the Union men now in the expression of their views there as there was at the time you went there? And it not, what is the reason for it ? "Answer. In many parts of Texas Union men dare not express their sentiments as regards loyalty to the general Government. Their lives would be endangered by so doing. Union men are being murdered there to this day ; at least murders were occurring constantly before I lelt, and 1 think were on the Increase. 'Question, llave you any knowledge ot an organization in that State, secret or otherwise, for the purpose of opposing or thwarting the action ot the Government of the United States? "Answer. It was reported to me frequently that such oreanizaiious did exist, and I have no doubt in my own mind that they have existed In the northern part of the State. I waj so thoroughly convinced of the laet that I sent a considerable lorce into that section of the State to disperse them. The lact that such organiza tions did exist was confirmed by the statements, written and oral, of loyal men, and by the re ports ot ollieers sent there on duty. "Question. What do the people desire there as to the recognition ot the htate by the Federal Government ? Do they expect or desire the re ception of their Senators and Representatives into Coi gress? "Answer. The division ol opinion is very clearly marked upon that question. The entire disloyal portion ot the inhabitants are very anxious that the State should be immediately restored to its former rights und privileges in the Union; that it should be represented in Congress and in the other branches of the Gov ernment; while ihe loyal portion of the inhabit ants are equally anx otis that the general Gov ernment should coutiniie to maintain its pre sent control over the State. In this they say is their only safety, in which opinion I most heartily concur. "Ouesc'ou. Can vou given nnv opinion, from what vou have seen and heard iu Texas, us to 1 what 'the people there would do if they wer? to obtain the power or ascendancy in that country, and could have entirely tueir own way ? "Answer. I think, in the Brst place, none but those who hud been most prominent an leaders in tne Rebellion would be aopoimed or cltctea to office; this no one will deny. If they were allowed to legislate upon the question thev would be opposed to paying their Bhare of the natioual dcbi unless tho Rebel debt was incor porated with it. Indemnliicatiou would bo cl.tirned and insisted upon forall losses sustained by Rebel property holders during the war; while a system ot laws regulating labor would be passed which would virtually place the frerdmen under the entire control ot their former owners. Had ihey the power, neither Northern men nor freedmen would be permit ted to acquire property iu the South. "Question. Suppose an opportunity was offered to a majority of tue people in Texas to accede without war, do you suppose they would preier to stav in the Union or go out? "Answer. I tnlnk they would prefer to go out." J 1 In the call issued by him on the 19th inst. we find the following paragraph :- "Every object of the wtr ever recog nized by or known to the army and navy bus been thoroughly achieved. The Southern peo ple, decimated, impoverwhed, and subdued, have for mart than a year pant abandoned the Rebel ion, aud now only nut that the Uuiou tor which we fought may be recognized as exist ing, and that thev mar be dealt with m the Constitution and the laws prescribe. In their anxiety to restore the Union and bring har mony to its councils, they have gone beond a mere silent submission to its ' laws. Their platform is not only one of emphatic lovalty, but It Is, moreover, most liberal In spirit on the great Issues o rowing out ot the war." We would only say that If, lor a year past, the "Southern people have abandoned the Rebellion,'' and "have gone beyond a mere silent submission to the laws," why It Is that within five months past General Custer said that If the troops were withdrawn, and the State Governments recognized, the Uvea of all Union men would be unsafe? The faith he row prolesaes to have In their pro fessions looks to us like credulity, and we cannot but think that their expressed views fall under the denomination of those amended sentiments which were held "merely tor sclllsh purposes," as the General himself declares wns the case with the great majority of the sentiments professed among the South ern people. The Political Prospect Over the River. We are authorized to state that within a few days Gov. Mabcus L. Ward, of New Jersey, will call a special session of the Legislature of that State, to take action on the Constitu tional amendment, and on such other topics as may come before It. Wa. most heartily congratulate the Republican party through out the country on thus winning the fruits of its hard-fought battle lost autumn. The vast pressure of power, and the corrupting Influence of the lobby, have all been bi ought to benr to rob us of the reward which Is our due. For awhile they succeeded. Hon. James M. Scovki., Influenced by a personal antipathy to a candidate for United States Senator, so far forgot what was due to his con stituency and to himself, as to bolt the nomi nation, and temporarily side with the conser-1 vatives. But time has allowed the fumes of pas sion to pass away, and calm reason has shown him what was his duty, and that duty we feel confident that he intends to fulfil. But we need from him a promise, a distinct written pledge, that when the session assembles he will, if admitted to the Republican caucus, abide by its decision. By his prompt return to the path, which all his friends predicted would never be abandoned by him, he has changed what was a crime into merely a poli tical error. But that error was of so serious a character that we cannot be expected to trust Mr. Scovki. unless we have his pro mise. We will take bi3 word as good, and have full faith in his carrying out all his pro mises ; but we want a written statement that if readmitted into the Republican party he will vote tor the man the caucus nominates for United States Senator, be that man who he may. We do not desire to dictate. We think Mr. A. G. Cattish, a good man for the place. But let us have any good Republi can, and we will be satisfied. It Mr. Scovl is opposed to Mr. Cattell, let him use his In fluence to secure a defeat in the caucus, but if he is unsuccessful then let him vote for Mr. Cattell, or any man who may be selected. As we have had some considerable share in bringing the mistake of Mr. Scovki. before the public, we now open our columns to him for any letter he may see fit to write, and ex pect, in behalf of the great Union party, that he will furnish us with a pledge ol bis purpose. That the citizens ot Camd.'n have not lost all confidence in Mr. Scotel Is testified to by the adoption of the following resolution at a large meeting last night : "Resolved, That in the published declaration of Senator Scovel that he regurds the early rati fication ot the proposed Constitutional amend ment ns a matter of serious necessity, we recog nise tl-at he still holds to the true political faith, of which ne has heretofore been an ellieieut and eloquent advocate." It now behooves him to show himself worthy of their confidence by settling all doubts as to his intentions. Progress of the California End of the Pacific Railroad. Wk have from time to time kept our readers thoroughly posted as to the progress of both the eastern terminal branches of the great Pacific Railway, which Is destined ere long to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts of the continent. It aflords us pleasure to be able to chronicle equal energy and pro gress in the construction of the California terminus. That end of the road Is now In operation eighty-four miles east of Sacra mento, and to within twenty miles of the summit of the Merra Nevada Mountains. This portion oi the road has been very diffi cult and expensive of construction, and its rapid progress furnishes gratifying evidence of the energy of the contractors and officers. More than ten thousand men are kept con stantly at work on the line. The heavy snows during the winter will retard the work near the summit, but gangs of hands will be scattered along the eastei n 6lde of the Sier ras, and as large a force as can be kept at work In the tunnel at the summit will be employed there; and it Is confidently believed that the rop.d will be put In operation to within a dozen miles of Virginia City before the close ot next season. From this point to within a hundred miles of Salt Lake City, the route Is very easy, and the road can be almost as rapid y built as up the valley of the Kansas or that of the Platte. Governor Stanfohd, the President of the road, in his last report, promised to be at Salt Lake by two years from the first of January next, and It now seems probable that the promise will be redeemed. On this side the work is being pushed more rapidly than ever. The Platte river line will be completed, it is stated, to Fort Kearney, two hundred miles west of the Missouri river, within the naxt three weeks, and another hundred, carrying the road to the north cross ing of the Platte, by the first day of January next. ' The Kansas Valley line Is nearly or quite ready for operation to Fort Riley, from wh!ch point up I the Valley of the Smoky Hill the process of construction is expected to be rapid and unchecked. Two hundred milos more of the road have been ordered to be put under Immediate contract, to bo finished by the 1st of December, 1807. This new section will extend frcm Fort Riley west to a point on the (-anta Fe road, only two hundred miles from Denver City, and tour hundred and fifty miles Irom Santa Fe. Thus while political excitements and agita tions are convulsing this country, this grand work ot public industry and enterprise is pro gressing apace. While certain classes of politicians are prophesying a renewal of domestic strife, the people themselves are forging iron bands to bind the nation more firmly together than ever. Agriculture in Colorado. One of Mr. Bayard Tatlob's late letters to the Tribune from Colorado gives some remarkable and interesting facts in regard to the progress of agriculture In that Territory. There are esti mated to be seventy thousand acres of land under cultivation in Colorado this season, suffi cient to supply the wants of her own popula tion, and to leave a small surplus for exporta tion to Montana. Mr. Taylor saw six hundred acres of wheat in a single body. The land is irrigated, and under this cnlt'vation the average yield of wheat is thirty bushels to the acre. In regurd to irrigation, ho says that the farmers already prefer the secure yield which that method of farming nffords to the uncertain results of a more vamole climate. The princi pal item of expon-e Is the construction of the irrigating canal, but where many farmers unite topether eveu that is materially lessened. Sur veyor-General Pierce estimates that there is sut ficient water in the Platte river and in Cherry creek to irrigate four hundred thousand acres of land. In one place Mr. Taylor noticed that a body of ulkaline lund had been brought under culti vation, and was inlormcd that the application of manures seemed to correct the alkali, and the land became very pioductive. The great "American Desert," Mr. Taylor thiuks, is a myth. He 6ajs: 'I nm fast Inclining towars the opinion that ' there is no American Desert on this side ot the Rocky Mountains. Kelts of arid und sandy soil there ccriumly arc, out I doubt if auv of these are more than 60 miles in breadth, while there ore many point where an unbroken line of htibilab e tcrntory may be followed from the Missouri to the base of the mountains. I re member that as late as 1R.VJ, the lo west compu taiion of thp pxtent oi the Desert was 201) miles; vet in the smoky lliU route I saw less than 50 miles to which the term could, properly ba applied. What I nave since learned ot farming unoer these new conditions ot climate and sou, leads me to suspect that time an 1 settlement may subdue even this narrow belt that there may som day be groves and larnis on the tree less plains, tliut wueat may usurp the place of buffalo grass, and potatoes etiive out the cactus." General Howard. We trust there is no truth in the rumor that Major-General Howard is about to be re moved from the head of the Frecdmen's Bureau. No man in the nation stands higher as a patriot and a Christian than General Howakp, and no other man could bo thoroughly command the confidence of the better class of citizens of all parties. We believe that since he has held his present position he has labored with a single eye to the good of the millions entrusted to his care, and has been most widely influential in modi fying public sentiment in the South Itself towards the freedmen. He Is too valuable a man to bo spared from the service of the country, and that of humanity as well. The unexpectedly large demand for copies of Tbe Evening Telegraph con taining the little serial of "How I Manage my House on 200 a Year," which we laid before our readers a few weeks since, showed us that such a spicy sketch was appreciated. We shall, therefore, on Saturday commence a second story by the same author, Mrs. Wabeen "Comforts for Small Incomes" which will run tor three or four days, and be found as pleasant reading as its predecessor.
