MEE SPEECH.
Not many months since, thoacknowb
edged organs of the ltndical party, cluui-
ored loudly for l'rce Speech, declaring
It to be the fine quit mm of National
prosperity, nnd the solo hnpeof Nation
al safety. With an elasticity of con
science pccullnr to these modern politi
cians of the Hump persuasion, they
now uphold with equal vehemence the
present despotic nnd traiuelied condl
Hon or tho South. It Is dllllcult to under
stand how any man qf clear perceptions
and good senso can believe that Freo
Speech exists now. With ten millions
of our own people under tho absolute
uithorlty of less than half n doxen po-
lltlco-milltary agents of the oligarchy
at Washington, with supervised news''
papers, with laws enforced in wiiose
crentlon they hnve no part, with no
representation in the Council of the mi
Hon, with Judges nnd those in nuthnrl-
ty of known opposition in political and
social creeds, Freedom In tho South
to-day is a hollow mockery, a shadowy
phantom of its former self, the ghost
of a murdered Constitution as it seems
to ns; and yet, In the face of all thi,thcre
are men who constantly assert that
Southern men are endeavoring to slip-
press the ventilation of public af
fairs. Such men as Wilson, Orecley
and Ocrrit Smith, extremists as they
are, travel unmolested through the
South preaching their revolutionary
doctrines. But no Northern JJewoerttl
would bo allowed to expound M be
liefs, much less a Southern one. Not a
bit of it; for tho prevention oftliat
style of speaking, "Wilson nnd Compa
ny went South. Wilson pleasantly al
ludes in one of his letters, to his success,
nnd speaks of "freodicuslon." There
is no such thing in the South, and no
man knows It better than himself. Free.
dom there tnity be, but only as contlned
to his own utterances. Very free in
deed, nro both Wilson and Greeley, but
no Democrat would bo allowed so to
partake of that freedom as to ascend tho
platform nnd disputc'thcir tenets or op
pose their ideas. This may bo free
speech, but it does not look much like
it to say the least. There is nothing
more outrageous concerning this Bill
for restricting tho liberties of tho pco
pie, than tho impossibility of its free
discussion oy, or neiuro tno people.
With an hypocrisy, under the cir
cumstances truly diabolical, this
samo Congress which binds in let
tors ten millions of its own conn
trymen, kindly resolves its sym
pathy for downtrodden Ireland and
Crete. "Oh ! hypocrites, who strain nt
a gnat and swallow a camel ;" giving
your charity (however wenk it may be)
to strangers, whilst starvation, political
and mental, sits on your own hearth
stone. Ireland Is to-day as compared
with tho condition of tho mhruled
South, as free ns tho air we breathe
The chains which she bears arc but as
gossamer to those you forge. The Sul
tan of Turkey, despot as he is, docs not
seek to enforce a destruction more uttei;
or a degredation more complete, than
do you with your bayonet-govCrnin
laws, and your utter disregard of the
rights of Freemen.
TIip Bump Congress, In its own grim
way. has a sense of humor. It has per-
i pet rated many rough Jokes upon Hie
people its amendments to tho Const!
lutlon, its Frccdmen's Bureau Bill and
its Civil Tenuro Bill, but there has been
nothing so grim and rough, so like the
days of Cromwell and his crop-eared
Bound Heads, as this last, this dlgnify.
ing suspension of civil rights, suspen
sion of tho Press, military mi-govern
ment, corruption and anarchy, by the
namo of "free discussion." Great is the
Bump and Wilson is its Prophet.
Tin: Civil Bights Bill is givingiiseto
many eccentricities, not to say absurdi
ties, in Hie vast region subject to military
rule. Under tlio orders of Commanding
Generals, horse-railroad companies are
compelled to carry negroes in every car
they enter, regardless of anyregulntions
which tho companies may have enacted
for tho guidance of their own subordi
nates. That istosay, the military edict
has gone forth that the comp'anios shall
no longer manage their own business in
their own way. At Norfolk, again, tho
Captain of ji ferry-boat has been arrested
on Hie Mayor's warrriVil for excluding!!
colored woman from tho white- women's
cabin. If a General may set n-sldcthe
regulations of railroad companies, and
n Mayor tho regulations of steamboats,
what is fo hinder tho extension of their
authority to hotels and their manage
ment? And If a'milltary or civil func
tionary may compel tho proprietor of
tho St. Charles, New-Orleans, to throw
open his parlors and chambers to trav
eling negroes, under tho prctenceof car
rying out tho Civil Bights Bill, may
not somo other functionary, civil or un
civil, extend it to Hotels here in tho
North? Clearly, tlio hotels are as much
subject so Generals and Mayors ns rail
roads or steamboats; and the law which
confers Jurisdiction over Southern hotels
in tho Interest of tho negroes, nlso ap
plies to hotels at the North. Tho law
recognizes no discrimination on ac
count of locality and if they liavo tho
right to force themselvs Into Mr. Girton'.s
crowded omnibus, they liavo tho right
also to scat themselves among thoguests
at C'apt. Caslow's dinner tablo; and to
try their right to MaJ. KoOns' Bridal
chambers in Ills hotel nt Wilkes Barre,
if on a wedding tour.
That Is iho inevitable military con
struction of the Civil Blght-i Bill. Does
tho radical over tho way endorse that,
or Is heso "independent" and "far-see-ing"
ns to bo nfrald toanswer?

LETTEB FHOM THE WEST.
S i'f ItciMco, Miciim x, Mnj-13, P-or.
MEfSiw.-JiiiToiw: I have forsover
alwceku.past been pondering tho ques
tion whether or not a letter from this
part of tho "Great West" would be ac
ceptable to tho Editors nnd numerous
renders oftho Coi.i'.muiax, nnd hnve
at last concluded to write, even should
my letter meet the falo which so often
befalls a great portion of the manuscript
which finds Its way into tho editor's
nanctum that Is, thrown under the
table.
As the majority of your renders In the
good old "Star of tho North" aro agri
culturists, nnd naturally feel an Inter
est In anything pertaining to the sub-
ject, let mo speak of the l:t her rap-
Id rlso and progress during the last few
years. It has, in the short space of
twenty years.taken such gigantic strides
in tho inarch of Improvement Hint, If
we mayjudge tlio future by tho past, It
will, before a like period shall liavo
passed away, become the centre ofpow
or nnd inlliicneoon thlscontlnent. There
Is no part of tho world Hint possesses
such natural resources. Tho land is
cheap, exceedingly fertile, nnd well
ndapted to product-grain and fruit, wool
nnd stock sulllcient to more than supply
tho entire population of tho Union, nnd
its coal, iron, copper, lcad.saltand plas
ter aro found in quantities inexhausti
ble. Besides, It has in its miles of rail
roads, and its lakesand livers, unpaial-
lelled facilities for internal lomniuuica-
Hon. In all tho States oftho West there
are openings for farmers, both old and
young, that cannot be found elsewhere
Who can predict wliat the West will bo
fifty years hence? In agriculture and
manufactures, as well as the arts and
sciences, it is not one whit behind the
laist, and witli its natural resources, its
mild and genial climate, its excellent
system of education, it bids fair to out
strip, all conipctitois in tho race for
wealth nnd renown. "Westward tlio
star of empire takes Its way," is a trite
saying, but nevertheless true.
There seems to bo great excitement
here as well ns elsewhere In regard
the labor question, and It is of interest
to all classes of manufacturers and la
borers. In tho adjoining State of illi
nois they have passed the eight-hour
law, and In Michigan Hie working men
aro steadily and constantly organizing
with a view to secure tlio passage of .a
like bill during Hie next session of tho
Legislature. In Chicago, a number of
"strikes" have occurred for tlio purpose
of securing a reduction of tho hours of
labor, but Hie employers liavo pretty
generally concluded not to accede to the
demands, saying they will not pay for
two hours labor not performed. Many
of them have adopted tho plan of pay
ing their workmen by the hour, and
they nearly all require a reduction of
wages proportionate to tlio reduction of
time. It is an important question, and
1 hope may besatlfaclorily settled, with
due regard to both the employers and
employees.
In my peregrinations throughout the
Union and you know I liavo traveled
"some" I have noticed that the people
here seem to bo imbued with a more
"go ahead" spirit than those of other
sections. Why it is, I canot tell, but
such is the fact. In Hie little village
whero my letter is dated, and where 1
have sojourned for some tliuo past, you
see every ono engaged in business of
somo kind; there are no loungers, no
drones In tho common beo-hivo to suck
sustenance from tho labor of others.
All nro intent upon their own affairs,
and they seem to liavo learned one im
portant tiling which your sleepy "Bip
Van Winkles" have not, and that is,
they Mh-ert'tec! If they have goods to
dispose of, or anything new which they
wisli brought before tho public, they
resort to the "uew'spaper" and "hand
bill" to make it known, and tills I be
lieve is tho true solution to tlieirsiiccess
In business. We hnve here only about
a dozen merchants, and I venture tho
assertion that they spend more for ad
vertising and printing in one year than
all the business men of Bloonisburg do
in ten years. They would as soon think
of committing their goods and wares to
tho flames as to go without their large,
attractive po-!ters,showy advertisements
and circulars. Such men cannot help
dolne a "biir business." nnd their ex.

Sir: 1 have the honor to submit here
with a copy of tho entries contained In
tlio memorandum book found on the
person of J. Wilkes Booth at the tluio
of his capture, certified by Gen. Holt,
Judge Advocate General, who has
pos-csslou of the book, together with
ids report in relation thereto. The
memorandum book was first seen by
ino about the 20th day of April, 1S(S",
shortly after Booth's capture, and a lew
hours 'before his remains reached Wash
ington. It was brought to my house by
Provost Marshal Baker and another
person, who was, L think, Lieutenant
Colonel Conger. The book was then
examined by me in presence of General
Eckcrt, Assistant Secretary of War,
and was found to contain only the en
tries certitiedbyGencral Holt, also some
photographs of females. Immediately
preceding the entries some pages ap
peared to have been cut out, but there
was nothing indicating what had been
written thereon, or whether anything
lias been written, nor when or by
whom they had been cut out. Imme
diately after careful examination of the
book and its contents, it was placed In
the hands of Geneii Eckcrt ill the same
condition as when I first saw it, to be
delivered to tho Judge Advocate (.icu
oral, in whoso possession nfter its de
livery to him by General Eckcrt, I am
informed and believe, it has continued
until the present time. The hist time I
saw Hie book was some time last winter.
It was then before the Judlciaiiv Com
mltteo oftho House of Iteiireseutatives,
and was in all respects in exactly tlio
same condition as when l saw u nrsi,
without any change or alteration, so
forns I could discover, in its contents
General Eckcrt reported to mo that
upon receiving the lneyioraiiduni book
from mo he scaled it un and locked it
in his safe, and it continued in his
possession until ho delivered it to Hie
judge Advocaie neuerai, ami iiiai u
was brought to my house by Baker.
Very respectfully, yoftr obedient
servant, Edwin M. Stanton, Secre
tary oi war.
To the President.
Tho following is a copy of the writing
which was in pencil. tound in ino diary
taken from tho body of J. Wilkes

Official copy. J. Ilot.T,
Judtre Advocate General
"Ti Ajiio,"- April 13, I I, Friday, the
Ides. until to-day nothing was ever
thought of sacrificing to our country's
wrongs. For siximmthswo had worked
to capture. But oui-euusc being almost
lost, something decisiveand great must
be ( one. But its failure was owing to
others, who did not strike for their
country witli a heart.
1 struck boldly, anil not as Hie papers
say. 1 waiucu with a llrni step tlirougn
a thousand ot his mends, and was stop
ped, but pu-hed in. A colonel was at
ills side. I shouted "Sic Semper" be
fore I fired ; in jumping broko my leg.
1 passed all his pickets, lodeslxty miles
that night with the bone of my leg
tea 'ing the flesh nt every jump, t can
never repent it, though wo hated to
kill. Our country owed all her troubles
to him, and God simply made mo the
instrument of his punishment.
The" country is not, April, 1SC5, what
it was. This forced union is notvhat I
have loved. 1 care not what becomes
uf me : 1 have no desire to outlive mv
country. This night, "Before Hie deed,1'
1 wrote a long article and left it for ono
oftho editors of tho National Intelli
gencer, in which l fully set forth our
reasons for our proceedings. J le, or the

i w ttuuij; lull iiuius was iiniiui l-ii uu,
what made Tell n -hero: and yet I, for
1 striking down a greater tyrant than they
ever Know, am looKcii upon as a com
mon cut-throat. My action was purer
than either of theirs. One Imped to bo
great, i'he other had not only Ills country'-;
but his own wrongs to avenge. I
hoped for no gain. I knew no private
wrong. I struck for my country, and
that alone a country tlmt groaned be
neath this tyranny, and prayed for this
end, ynd yet now behold the cold baud
they extend tome. God cannot pardon
me if I hnve done wrong. Yet I cannot
sco my wrong except in serving a de
generate people. Tlio little, the very
imioiieavo ijciiiuu to clear my name

onco more try tho river with the Intent
to cross, though J havo a greater desire
and almost a mind to return to Vnsh

which 1 feel 1 can do. I do not repent
tho blow 1 struck; I may before my
God, but not to man. I think I hnve
done well, though lam abandoned with
the curse of Cain upon me, when, if tho
world knew my heart, that ono blow
would make mo great, though 1 desire
no greatness. To-night 1 try to escape
these bloodhounds onco more. Who

sincere heart -was it crime in him'.'
if so, why can ho pray the saino? I do
not wish to shed a drop of blood, but I
must light tlio course. 'Tisall Hint's
left me. , ,
Upon h piece of paper found In tho
diary, nnd supposed to havo been torn
fro ni it, Is written tho following:
Mvdcar, piece torn out forgive me,
but 1 h ave some little pride. I cannot
blamevoii Tor want of hospitality. You
know vour own ntl'alrs. I win sick,
tired, with a broken llnib, nnd in need
of medical advice. I would not have
turned ti dog from my door In such u
plight, liowuver.you weroKinii enough
to give me something to eat, for which
1 not only thank you ,hut on account of
the rebuke uud manner in which to
PIcco torn out. UN not the substance,
but the way In which kindness is ex
tended that makes' mo happy In the ac
ceptance thereof. Tho sauce to meat is
ceremony, meeting were bare without

spare for what wo havo received. Most

Beport ol tho Judge Advocate Gen
eral, Bureau of Military Justice, May

the copy asked for. The "diary" pur
ports to be one for ISO I, and the leaves
cut or torn front it probably contained
entries ol that year, and were tints lie-kti-iivi-il
