took the high ground that the southern Stated

flut, though they "drew much people after
them," and gave great encouragement to the
insurrectionary movement, no man who was at
once honest, intelligent, and true to the coun
try, failed to see the wisdom of the Pies-ident's
views. The President elect endorsed thera
fully on his way to the capital, as he did after
wards by his official action. From all quarters
addresses and petitiouscame np, which showed
the popular appreciation of them. Even the
Mussachueetts legisiatute. 'without one dissent
ing voice in its more numerous branch, and by
an overwhelming majority in the other houe,
passed a solemn resolution approving them in
the stronget-t language, and otfering to aid in
carrying them out. l$ut everything depended
on Congress, and what did Congress dot
Both hou-ea were completely in the hands of
tiiallow partisans, who were either too stupid
to know their duty, or too dishonest to perfoiui
it. The men of moat ability and integrity
whom republican constituents had sent there
such men, for instance, as Chailes Francis
Adm4 were heard but not heeded. The
President, thoroughly informed on the whole
subject, communicated all the facts in a special
message, told Congress that tht powers con
lided t him were wholly inadequate to hc oc
casion, demonftrated the absolute i:ecesity of
further legislation, aud implored them not to
postpone it, for the danger, imminent then,
was increasing with every moment of delay.
To all this they were as deaf as adders. They j
could be reached by no appeal to their hearts '
or consciences. They neither adopied the ex
ecutive recommendation, nor gave a reason
for refus'ng. 11 any measure having the least
tendency either to ietore peace or prepare for
war got so far as to be propose J. it was uni
lormly str ing' ed. The issues of life and dezth i
to the nation hung upon their action, and they
would not lift a finger to save it. No legisla
tive body, since the bcgirmr.g of the world,
ever behaved in a great cri-ds with such scan
dalous uisrcjurd of its duty.
Uut if there weie no statesmen arnonj the
managers of that Congress, there were plenty
of demagogues ; if they were indiffeient to the
fate of t!ie nation, they wore intensely alive to
the inteiets of their faction ; if the regular
committees slept supinely on tho great public
questions submitted to them, the secret com
iiiittee, spawned by a caucus, went growling
about with activity as incessant as it was steal
thy and malignant. You could not gainsay
the views which the administration took of
the;r o-.va duty or yours, or deny the wisdom
of the rccoininandatious they made ; but you
could, nd did, answer them witri a storm of
personal detraction. The air was filled with
falsehood ; the atmosphere was saturated with
slander ; the voice of truth was drowned in the
"loud rour of foaming calumny." This cru
sade was conducted with so m.ich vigor and
success, that some members of the adminislra
tration were pursued into piivte life by the
rage of the partisan mob, aud thousands of the
warthiest men in the land were actually im
prisoned and persecuted almost to death, for
nothing worse than expressing a friendly opin
ion of iheru. The messages of the President
will stand forever a monumeut to the w isdom,
foiesight, aud honest patriotism of the execu
tive administration, while history will proclaim
through all time the dishonor of that Congress
which could answer such appeals with nothing
but vituperation aud insult.
It was at such a juncture that Mr. Stanton
was appointed to take a high aud most confi
dential place in the administration. His lan
guage glowed with gratitude, his words spoke
all the fervor of personal devotion to his chief
and his colleagues ; he gave his thorough ap
proval to the measures which they thought ne
cessary to preserve tho unity of the nation in
the bonds of peace Yet you h.form us that
be did immediately put himself in communica
tion with the opposiiion ; sought out you and
others whom he had ccver known before, ami
sought you solely because you were enemies of
the administration; offered himself as. your
spy, aud did act for you in the capacity of a
false delator; went skulking about at midnight
to aid you in defeating the measures which
with us he pretended to support; for gathered
with your secrot committee, aDd gave you as
sistance in cairying on your personal warlaie
against his benefactors ; nay, worse than all
that, he helped you trnmp up a charge of trea
son against one of his colleagues a charge
which he kuew to be false a charge for which,
. if it had been true, that trusting friend might
lawfully, and would deservedly, have been
hanged by the neck until he was dead. Oh 1
it was too foul ; it was base beyond the lowest
reach of comparison. If jour story be un
founded if Stanton after all was a'true and
h norubl man Low will you answer in the
judgment day for this horrible outrage ou his
memory and ou the feelings of his friends ?
If thou dost slander iiih and torture is,
Never pray more ; abandon all remorse;
On horror's head horrors accumulate;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Deeper thau that.

A ST3ANG8 Story. We leirn from the
Kuixvi'.Ie (Tenn Chronicle, that Mr. Geo.,
StrSuDg, of Ji-fTersou C.muty. s Jtu4 time ago
drove a largo number of hogs to North
Carolina. About two weeks ago, while on
his return home, he stopped for tho night at
a house in the mountains, where entertain
ment was offered. On being shown to his
room his suspicions were aroused by the
Uodlord locking the door ou the outside.
He begau to look about f .r means to escape,
if necessary. On looking under the bed a
eight was presented that almost congealed
his blood the body of a tnsn with his throat
ut from ear to ear. Time was precious for
life was at stake, and his j lan was formed.
He placed tho dead body in bed, covered it
up nicely, extinguished the light, and got
behind the door to await the re.-ults. About
miduight Le heard stealthy steps approach
ing, the door was softly opened and five
forms passed into the room. Ha did not
wait to see the result, but slipped out of
the open door and heeled it" for life.
Next morning he found friends to whom
he related his adventure. They returned
in force and succeeded in capturing four of
the villains. The fifth is still at large, but
it is to le hoped that he, too, will fall into
the hands of justice.
Hotel Bcbked. Fice Lives Lost. A
fire broke out at the Hallid.iy House, Keno

and spread with great rapidity. The guests
of the house were roused as rapidly as pos
sible, but the fire spread so fast that it was
impossible to visit ail the rooms. Mrs. J. B.
Merrill and four children, occupying a front
room on the second floor, were cut off from
the stairway by the flames, and perished
before assistance could reach them. Os
mond Capron and S. Fuller were rescued
after being so badly burned that their re
covery is very doubtful. H. R. Chase was
badly injured by jumping from the third
tory window, and several others of the
guest received slight wounds and burns.
The charred remains of Mrs. Morrill and her
cnikJreu were taken from the ruins on th
afternoon of tho came day. Tha cook of the
hotel, Edward Miller, was missing .at last
accounts, and it was feaied that he was
burned to leath.

Afteu a most heroic resistance i f more

occurred last Saturday, when a treaty of
peace was dually agreed upon. By its terms
the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine are to
be ceded to Prussia, and France agrees to
pay to Prussia fuur hundred million of dol

war. An election for merubers of the Na

France on next Wednesday, tho 8th instant,
who are to met immediately at Bordeaux
to decide the new form of government aud
take final action on the conditions of peace
already agreed upon by the provisional gov

tho armies in the field will maintain their
respective positions. The war may now be
regarded as virtually ended, but the civilized
world will look with anxious and profouud

Judge mack's Letter.
We redeem the promisa made bv com
mencing in this week's issue of the Freeman
the publication of Judge Black's secocd let
ter to Seuator Wilson, of Massachusetts, and
aik our readers to give it a careful perusal.
It is a poweiful and peculiarly an original
document, and is stamped with all the ro
markable force and vigor of Judge Black's
great mind. As a political writer he stands
a head and shoulders higher than any other
man of either party iu tho country. This
controversy has not been sought by Judge
Black, but wasfurced upon him by the pub
lication of Wilson's first letter, and he is
simply acting on the defensive. He entered
upon the contest as an original friend and
admirer of Mr. Stanton, the late S-'cretary
of War, and to defend him from what ho
regarded as the falsa accusations contained
in Wilson's letter, although he (Wilson.)
when he published them claimed that they
redownded to Stanton's immortal honor and
credit. In his present Utter Judge Black is
forced to admit the truth of some of Wilson's
allegatiocs in reference to Stanton's double
dealiug with Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet,
and comments on it ic the severest terms.
Who can dubt. after reading this letter,
that Edwin M. Stanton was as base a hyp
ocrite as ever occupied a seat in the Cabinet
of an administration in this cr any other
country. Judge Black makes it so clear,
from Wilson's own proofs, that "ho who
runs may read, and the wayfaring man,
though a fool, cannot err thereiu,"
J oil 11 Scott's Committee.
About two weeks ago a resolution was of
fered in the U- S. Senate by the leader of
the radical party ia that body, Morton, of
Indiana, for the appointment of a committee
of five, to take testimony and report to the
Senate in reference to alleged acts of violence
and resistance to the laws in the Southern
States. The resolution was adopted, and
the committee was appointed. It consists
of John Scott, chairman, Chandler, Wilson, j
Pool, and Bayard. What was the precise
object of raising this committee at this time
we are at a loss to know. The Southern
States, or at least a majority of them, hav
ing repudiated Grant and his bayonet ad
ministration at the recent eloctions, it is pos
sible that they are once more to be subjected
to the pains aud penalties of reconstruction.
If its true purpose is to investigate t fTences
against the laws, as well as acts of violence,
there would be a wide field for its operation
iu not a few cf the loyal States of tbe North.
When will this detestable system of investi
gating' the condition of the South have an
end ? Just as soon as the radical party is
driven from power, but not before. That
auspicious day is fast approaching. In
connection with this subject we publish the
following txtract from a late letter written
by Gov. Bullock, the carpet-bag executive
of Georgians a conclusive answer to the stale
radical charge, that the election there was
carried through fraud aud violence towards
negro voters. What jis true cf Georgia i

The election litld en the 30th. 2lt and
221 of December last, taken as a whole, was
as near a peaceful, fair and unbiased expres
sion ol public o'niiion and preference through
ll e ballot-box, aJ it is possible for to have
in this state at Tins tike. So far as my
knowledge extends, there was not a voting
piecinct in the state w here votes were objected
to either by the managers or by partiz.in lead
ers, on the ground that persons olleiing to vote
were colored. All parties ami all ciuzeu3
ft eel v coi.cede the right of the black man to
tut u CWjIfot anJ , rTe,Uine it win
not, Le denied that in many eaes improper
ami unlawiul means were ext-rciseu to compel
! the colored citizens to cast baliotsof a different
character than those cast by a m ijoiity of his
1 race, and in opposition to his own preferences;
j but the enthusiastic practice of various devices
j to influence the votes of citizens has been no
! tible, both iu this country and abroad, ever
: since the elective franchise has been enjoyed;
! uiid we cannot expect to prove an exception
: to the natural effect of par'izan ambition for
j purty success stimulated by personal de-ire for
; official position. The great contest in this and
i other southern statis hns been to secure a uni-,
; versal admission of, and acquiescence in, 'he
' right of the colored man to vote, and this
j sterna to have been fully gained in Georgia.
1 he question of how or for whom the colored
man shall vote is secondarv and local.
CcNSuaN Contest,
John Cessna, who contests the right of B.
F. Meyers to his seat iu Congress from the
Bedford district, has beeej engaged for the
last three weeks in taking testimony in
Somerset and Bedford counties. Thus far
the efforts of this slimy demagogue have
proved to be a total failure, just as every
houcit mau anticipated. When he gets
through his investigations in the three re
maining coucties in the district Fulton,
Franklin and Adams he w ill have succeed
ed in proving that Meyers, instead of having
a majority of only fifteen, had at least tico
hundred. The following article from tho
Bedford Gazelle is conclusive so far as Cess
na's allegation of frauds applies to the coun
ties of Somerset and Bedford :
Toe Coste'-t. The examinations in Cess
na's wonderful and glorious contested election,
have been held in Somerset and Bedford coun
ties on the part of Mr. Meyers. In Somerset
Cessna's drag-net was drawn ashore in a com
plete water haul. By the time the examina
tions on the other side are made there, instead
of gaining two or three hundred as he was
wont to boast, he will lose at least fifty. In
this county he made a m ist remarkable fail
ure. He has not proved twenty illegal votes
in the w hole county, only eight or ten by direct
testimony. On the other hand llr. Meyers
has proved ovr one hundred illegal votes and
thrown doubt on about seventy-five more.
Cessna attempts at corruption have, also, been
shown up. The testimony taken in Bedford
county will prove interesting and edifying to
the committee on elections beyond a doubt.
There can now be no posible chance for Cess
na's obtaining the seat, except in an unfair and
utterly partisan committee. We almost forgot
to mention that Hon. A. It. Coffroth, of Som
erset conducted the examination on the part
of Mr. SJeyers. He won golden opinions from
all suits of people as an election lawyer during
the progress of the investigation.
What Next? The last vote taken in
France was on the occasion of the plebiscite,
and, as most ot our readers will remember,
the vote was au overwhelming endorsement
of Napoleon III. Since that, great events
have transpired; war has brought calami
tiss and woes untold ; in the wreck and
carnage the Napoleon dynasty went down,
aud out of chaos and terror sprung up, in an
hour, the new republic. Bismarck through
out claimed that there was uo republic,
basing his declaration on the ground that
the government of Favre aud Gam belt a had
not received the sinction or endorsement of
the French people at tho ballot box. Not
withstanding the truth of this, the paople of
France did endorse the republic by mpport
ing its men and measures to the fullest ex
tent, and now we have William treating with
the provisional government for th surrender
of Paris and the conclusion of hostilities.
The government at Bordeaux, ia order to
make itself secure agaiust any attempt to
restore the prisoner of Wilhelmshoho to
imperial honors, has called for a general
election for the national chambers. The
voting will commence on the 8th of Feb
ruary and the newly elected members will
meet in Paris on the loth, when the subject
of the future fjrm of government for France
will be taki-n up and decided.
It is really impossible at this writing to
guess what the result will le. Tho people
of France are a mercurial set and may per
form a great many antics before even the 8th
of February arrives. It is well known, how
ever, that Bismarck favors the restoration of
Napoleon, and we would not be greatly sur
prised if tho prisoner of Havre and Wilhelm
shohe should end his days upon the throne
he has struggled so hard to reach. Ike

The terms of peace tffered by the
French by Bismarck, says The Paper, are
not only degrading, but are the farthest re
moved from anything approaching magnan
imity. Prussia simply means to reimburse
itself for all the expenses of tho war ; grasp
as much territory as it wanto. and theu
having produced anarchy and desolation,
leave France to fight ver the remnants.
This is crutl, and cannot be justified on any
ether grounds than that might is right.
