THE SOUTH. • 'ON Further Report from the Joint Couull tee on Reconstruction—Evidence in` Relation to Florida, Louisiana and . Texas---Bitterness' of thi:: "Ms guided Brethren' , towards the Union People and the Government, etc., &c. March 7, 1866.—The testi- WASHINGTON mony reported from the Committee on Re construction to-day, refers to the States of Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Lieut. Wilson Miller,. commanding co lored troops in the southwestern- part of Texas, with his headquar / ters at Corpus Christi, testified he had been over the principal part of that section and through the district lying thirty or forty miles back of Indianola, extending westward to Mex ico; he Pound the people of Texas divided into three classes; the first are those who have been always under all circumstances, friendly to the Government, who had mostly been refugees during the war, but have since returned. Of the remaining portion there are those who have been more or less active rebels throughout the wealthy and intelligent class, and those who are not large•property'holders,andwho are generally without property—a class which he found • in no other State—who would come gene- Tally under the vagabond law, without any • visible means of snpport—not all blacklegs, but principally non-property-holders, or Arproperty-holders to a less extent. He found the feeling manifelated by these two classes entirely different;lthe most intelligent, and as a general thing the most wealthy men in that portion of the State, whether they have been in the rebel service or not, are more favorably disposed toward the Government than the other class; they appear more will ing to accept the question raised by the war as settled, and in favor of measures calcu lated to adapt that country as rapidly as possible to the new order of things; he did not know but what he spoke a little too ra pidly in saying that this is the temper of the class, because he had naturally, from choice, been brought in contact more with people holding these opinions; but he be lieved it was generally ' true that there is among them less bitterness, less hostility, and less looking forward to a future time when a second trial of arms may be had. than he found among the other class. When our troops first went to Western Texas the feeling was an - acceptance of the fortun'ns of - war. The question had been tried by,battle, but had resulted adversely, and the generul disposition was to submit to the result. Since then he had noticed a gradual change in the manifestation of feeling, which has been growing more and more independent, and at the time he left this class were becoming more and More outspoken in their bitter ness against the United States Government, and mere hostile toward the officers and sol diers of the army in their intercourse with them. It appeared to be only restrained from breaking out into acts of violence toward our officers by the superiority of our numbers. Occasional difficulties occurred, which the witness related. In response to the question as to what has produced the change of feeling, he replied, the conduct of the Government; of the ad ministration; thd facility with which par dens were reported to 4e granted; the gen eral disposition of the- administration to be lenient, which he had frequently heard spoken of by these people, that they had strong friends in the North and in the Go vernment. ~,The fact that they had strong party friends in the North appeared to be the principal grounds of encouragement they had for supposing the rebellion to be overlooked, and they could once more get the political powerin the hands of the South. The freedmen's bureau is an absolute neces sity. The witness, in reply:to a question, said: He might be extreme in his opinion, but when you come below what is called the educated and intelligent class of whites, the most intelligent class next are the ne groes; they know more of what is going on than the poor whites, and ghow a continual disposition to learn and improve. Major General David T. Stanley . testifies that he served in Texas before andlafter thet breaking up of the rebel army. He found matters unsettled. The negroes had learned the disposition which was to be made of them by the Government; that is, they were free. In the immediate vicinity of the troops there wasino effort3on the part of masters to restrain them; but at points somewhat remote—and that is a country of long distances—at points forty or fifty miles away from the troops, the former owner 'tried to constrain the negroes to remain on the plantations. .They threatened them and sometimes used violence, killing them in some instances. The troops endeavored to arrest the murderers and arrested those guilty of whipping negroes. Texas had not _been conquered, the people asserting the State had not been surrendered by General Lee. The Germans are a loyal people and go beyond the American Union sentiments vastly. The witness said, besides these the only Union men whom he knew in Texas— men of any influence, would be comprised in ten persons.r. He did not think there need be any fear of as outbreak or resistance to the government, but stated if we become inr vifived in a foreign war almost the entire . American population of Texas would go over to our enemies ifthey thought they had any chance of succeeding; and this was not •-• only his opinion, but he had heard the same opinion expressed by other men ;of ability there, The women of Texas were univer sally rebels, contemptuous, and disposed to be insolent to American officers whenever ?'" -- they could; as to the feeling of the people, it has been bitter since the fall of the rebel- lion, excepting Western Texas; they would . elect candidates for office favorable to re bellion; the witness said he considered Texas in a worse condition than any other • State, for the reason that they were never whipped there; in the course of his testi s.. inony he said there was more solid money in Texas than in any other State; the peo ple left to themselves would hold the ne groes in bondage; the people are generally in comfortable circumstances; the keeping of a military force in Texas is a necessity for the next five years. Lieutenant-Colonel H. S. Hall testifies there seems to be a very general desire and earnest wish to be immediately admitted into the Union, which takes the shape of a demand of absolute right; but there is no real love expressed for the Government; on the eon trary,there is an expression of hatred for the people of the North, of Yankees generally; while the idea seems to be that they should at ones obtain possession of po litical privileges and power which they once had. They seem to have an idea that they are entitled to all the rights under the Constitution which they ever had. They express bitterness against those whom they, characterize as radicals and denounce most . severely the policy of the party which they term the radical party. They consider the ...freedmen's bureau an unmitigated nui sance. If this were abolished the negro - would be forced to labor without com pensation. Brig. Gen. W. E. Strong, inspector gen . eral, gave testimony on the condition of the freedmen. When the negroes were held in • bondage they were, as a rule, treated well: cases of extreme cruelty were very rare; it was then for the interest of the master to taketcare of and not ill-treat them; now it is quite different; they have no interest in their vvelfare, and seem to take every op portunity to vent their rage and hatred on • the freedmen. They are frequently beaten unmercifully,' and shot down like beasts, • ivithout provocation, and foll Owed with hounds and maltreated in every possible way. It is the same old story of cruelty, only there is more of it in Texas than in any ether Southern State the witness had visited. OXLe , Campaisk of ours army through the eastern part of Texas, such as was made by Major General Sherman in South Caro lina;would greatly improve the temper and' generosity of the people. The most intense hatred is shown by many citizens of that country toward Northern men and the offi cers and soldiers of the army and the United States Government. The following is an outline of the testi mony taken with regard to Florida; John W. Reeks, collector of customs in that State says the general impression among the people was that they had been overcome but not conquered. There has been no material change for the better in any portion of the State lately in rebellion; the people have a bitter aversion to what they call the Yan kees or Northern men. They have no love for them. He would not know whereto lay his band upon a man who really loves the Union at the present day. He would just as soon expect to find a white raven on the sand banks of Florida as to find a Union , man who has always resided there. There mint be some, but he had not found them. Those who are apparently friendly are deceit ful from circumstances, and from what he witnessed if they bad the power they would destroy the Union men. The presence of a military force in Florida is necessary to se cure the rights of property and the lives of citizens, both whites and blacks. William Marvin testified that when he was appointed Provisional Governor of Florida it was under military control; he detailed the circumstances attending the steps taken by the Federal Government to reorganize the State; the number of persons who were pardoned under the amnestyoath did not exceed seven thousand; on being questioned as to the election of delegates to the convention, he said he did not think any ticket was run in any of the counties which could be called in opposition to the recon struction of the Union; about one-half of the delegates .previously belonged to the Confederate army; nearly one-fourth of the entire number claimed to be Union men all the time, and avoided being drafted into the rebel service, and did not participate in the movement; the other fourth rather sym pathized with secession. The examination was not completed, as Governor Marvin had to leave the city. Rev. L. M. Hobbs testified that in Florida the feeling against the Government is bitter, much more so than it was three or four months ago. There was a time when the people seemed to be very much disposed to do anything that the Government would re quire of them. They are now quite bitter, and say what they would not dare have said three months ago. They talk treason on the street without any concealment. The great majority of them do so—the ntaiority of the lower classes. A few intelligent citi zens, whom he regarded as honorable men, deplore the expression of such opinions, but they are very much in the minority, and can have but little influence in the affairs of the State government. The change in tone is because of the leniency manifested by the present Adminiatration. The following° is a synopsis of the testi mony taken in relation to Louisiana: Tin:. W. Conway, who occupied the position of assistant commissioner of freedmen's affairs, testified that his field of duties w„- in the neighborhood of New Orleans. 0.->ai prising twenty parishes. There was a con siderable loyal sentiment, not an element of which became loyal since the occupatio::, but of men who were previously loyal. tie was brought in contact with propertv holders and the holders of slaves, and he was confirmed in the opinion that they ha not changed, but were opposed to the G , - vernment, They were not willing to make their opposition physically,but secretly and quietly. They would always throw ob stacles in the way of the work of the bureau, and the issuing of pardons emboldened and encouraged them to exhibit a spirit of defi ance toward the officers of the Government and toward loyal men. Brigadier-General Doolittle, who served in the northeastern part of Louisiana, testi fies that among the better class of citizens, while he did not think there was a very hearty loyalty, perhaps there was a disposi tion to conduct themselves in support of the Government; the greater nombers,perhaps, regretted the war more from the fact that their property was destroyed, and so much +/suffering entailed upon them, than because of the undertaking itself; a great many were sorry they had not succeeded,but were will ing to accept the condition of things and make the best of it, and do everything they could now to support the Government, and there were others who had just as much bitterness as ever toward the Union people. Rev. Joseph E. Roy, agent of the Home Missionary Society, who went to Louisiana on evangelical business, testified that while the people were disposed to he loyal, they still retain the old spirit of secession. They have a bitterness of feeling against the Union element, and especially against the old Union men of the South. The Government should keep the army there for the protec tion of Union men and freedmen. D. A. Haines testified he was a resident of Rapides parish until the rebels burnt him out; and as an indication of rebel feeling, related how he had been treated. The rehees• beat him violently, and would have mur dered him but for the inferference of friend., because he had been in the Union army. He said it would not be safe to withdraw the troops, and that Northern men are stigma tized as damned Yankees. J. W. Shaffer, in his testimony, said he found a deep-seated desire to repudiate the national debt. Hon. John Covode, of Pennsylvania, who visited the South in June and July, testified that, with regard to the temper and spirit of the people, the politicians who remained at home, and particularly the female portion of the community, indulged in very bitter feelings towards the United States Govern ment—much more hostile than soldiers of the surrendered rebel army. Many planters had determined to leave the country, and some had already left, believing that they could never take part in the Government, which they feared would lay a heavy hand on the participants in the rebellion. In conversation with multitudes of officers and soldiers of Kirby Smith's army, he was surprised to find how docile and submissive they were, never in a single instance hear ing an unkind feeling expressed towards the Government. The general expression was that they were well whipped; that they were glad the war was over,and were ready to come back and submit to what was re quired ofthem. 'Many of the more intelli gent said their leaders had made a great mistake in going into rebellion against the Government; that they should have endea vored to accomplish ibis political purpose by political measures in which they feel sure of the aid of Northern Democrats, but that by participating in the rebellion they had tied the handsof their Northern friends. The men of the army seemed not to have the least expectation of being entrusted again with political power or privileges, at least for some time. When Governor Wells re turned from Washington with a Dr. Cott mann, a former secessionist, and Mayor Kennedy, the rebel element appeared to be greatly encouraged with the recoils he brought from Washington. He (Governor Wells) stated in a public meeting that the President was a Southern man and a Dern crat,- and he would be a bulwark between the South and Northern Abolitionists and fanaticism, and made open issue with Mr. Lincoln's administratione-charging it with the contraction of an enormous debt, and said Mr. Johnson's administration would be of a very different character. While this I \ 1 , speech encouraged the rebel element, it equally discouraged the loyal element, being the first intimation to the. latter that the Government had betrayed them. Mr. Covode speaks of having himself ad dressed the Union men, denying the allega tions of the. Governor concerning Johnson's administration, and urging them to organ ize; have their men registered, and register THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN ; PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1866 the names of colored men thus authorized constitutionally to vote, viz : -Those who had served in the Union army, that paid taxes, and those who were educated—pro mising that if excluded, by rebels from the polls and beaten, the rebel candidates for Congress thus electibd would not be allowed - to take their seats; he stated that the official appointees of Governor Wells were rebels of the worst class of men at borne, and one high official had kept the blood hounds during the rebellion with which Union men were bunted to death; Union men who had been barbarously persecuted during the rebellion felt obliged to re main within military protection, and were unable to return to their homes. Over one hundred rebel officers had been'appointed to office by the Governor. After this the-rebel officers and soldiers, as Mr. Covode reports, become more defiant, and freely discussed their plans for political ascendancy; to this end they began to regis ter for„voting, and if unable to pay their taxes, the money was furnished them, and of a list of seven thousand only about two thousand three hundred took the oath of allegiance as required. He was asked by loyal men to notify them in case they were to be abandoned to the control of rebels, that they might have time to get away. Such men declared they could not live there if the military should be withdrawn, and an in stance is given of a man who ventured to return home being driven away. In conversation held with Gov. Wells, he reports a demand of the Governor upon the Government for pay for slaves emancipated, and for their removal to Mexico or else where, and when told that the plantations could not be worked without them, he said, "we can import labor from abroad or from the North." He said he found the freedmen working well, and in every case was told by planters that they worked as well as when slaves.. The highest wages paid, so far as he heard, was eight dollars per month and sup port. Some of them manifested a want of con fidence in their fermer masters, many of whom were unwilling to make bargains with them in good faith; some worked for one-eighth or a tenth of the crop and their support; some were unwilling to raise cot ton or sugar, lest it should be taken from them, but theyi were willing to raise corn; some who farmed for themselves in 1864 bad saved several hundred dollars each, and were now hiring others to work for them. He reports a universally-expressed determination of the negroes, whenever questioned, to vote for the Government and not for rebels, and states that he never found in the South a disloyal negro. Lic stated that he had made a report to the Pre sident, of which he retained only a rough draft. tine of its conclusions wns that, if the rebel element was al lowed to vote in the South at that time, every member returned to Collgre,-, would be hostile to the policy of the Federal Government, not only as regards the p-ey ruent of the national debt, but in reference to the emancipation of the negroes; that while they - expressed a willingness to F. II - tint to emancipation, they coupled with e determination to regulate their own atie!r with the freedmen and control their sysi-eiti of labor sonic declaring that the systwo of negro labor would be better for them than befre: the Government should care for Lb-- cripples, and they would control the ai,le bodied. He suet , ,1 that he urged upon . 11 , President the immediate removal of Govern• nor Wells, who had betrayed his trust, an expressed himself unfavorable to truster: the people to administer the affairs of State. He also recommended the continu ance of military governments in otne Slates. .t+ t ~ ti~ _i ~ t 1 ~ i ~ The quantity of wool handled in the market during the year was 7,256,000 pound-. which shows a decrease of about 10 per cem from last year's product. This includes H..: the wool received from Oregon, the Haw aiian Islands c., which has always beep included as California wool. The decreAs , is wholly in the Califorian product, and i mainly accounted for by the fact that a great many sheep died in 18ii4 on account of the drought, while numerous flocks were driven to Oregon to graze. The market has been subject to great fluctuations duringthe year, ana prices have, for the most part, been re latively lower than those ruling in N.York and Boston—thus rendering purchases in these markets more or less dangerous. The product of wool in 164 was 8,000,00't lbs., and in 1365, 7,221,000. The shipment.: for 1564 were 6,473,615 lbs., against 6,336,19_ lbs. in 1565. In the beginning of the year the ruiinc: price was 24 cents and upward, under a brisk local demand. This, however, wa soon met by liberal receipts, and prices de clined to 2061.22 cents. In the early part of the second quarter, under a sharp compet, tion, there was an advance to 2461 .6 cent-, but in July prices reached to IScL2t). The market for the ;fall clip opened in favor of the buyer at 16( , , is cents but competition soon carried prices up to 206; cents. at which the bulk of the tall clip went forwarti. This wool in the East has never reached over 356; 37 cents, icurrency, which barely covers costs and charges. The estimate , : consumption of the two local mills k, in round numbers, 1.0n0,n00, both establiiii- Ments having been idle for repairs some portion of the year. The fall clip has been pretty well cleared out of market, and prices at the close were nominally ISra,_!OL!. for well graded lots, free from burs. JAPANESE PO WO , 9 i) TA, the finest ever imported.
