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.

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.

The Rev. JACOB SECIT_LER, of Hanover, Pa.
Well known and much respected among the German
population in this country, makes the following
r•tatement for the benefit of the afflicted.
DEAR Sins—Having realized in my family import
ant benefits from the use 0 f your valuable preparation
—Wisren's BALSAM 01 , WILACH:ERRY—it affords me
pleasure to recommend it to the public. Some eight
years ago one of my daughters seemed to be in a de
cline, and little hopes of her recovery were enter
tained. I then procured a bottle of your excellent
Balsam, and before she had taken the whole of the
contents of the bottle there was a great Improvement
in her health. I have, in my individual case made
frequent use of your valuable medicine, and have al
ways been benefited by it,
JACOB SECHLER.
