The Future of the Freedmen.
tiEmancipation is the great experiment of
t i
epoch of our national history. To
ender it successful should be one of the
ghest aims of our statesmen, as it will be
one of the noblest triumphs of oar civili
soion. Slavery has done its utmost to ire
brute the colored race. Where education
is strictly forbidden, where no marriage tie
is sanctioned or respected, where the rela
tion of husband and wife, parent and child,
and all the attendant responsibilities that
bind free households together, are utterly
ignored, and supplanted only by the rude tie
between the master and his slave, the most
valuable humanising influences are inopera
tive, andthe elevating instincts of thersoul
fearfully stunted and depressed. The freed-
Alen and their ancestors have been held
sot merely in physical, but in moral, social,
and intellectual bondage. Purposely kept
In ignorance, we should not wonder at
signs of stupidity, but endeavor to educate
them. Denied the rights of domestic au
thority, and warned that they had no
more Control over their offspring than the
cattle of their masters' fields, we should
not be too readily shocked if they cannot
immediately unlearn the hard lessons of the
past, and become at one hound faithful bus
bandsand provident fathers,but rather strive
earnestly to impress thaw with the import
ance and justice of a true social organization.
Compelled to obey peremptory commands
end deprived of opportunities to exercise
their will and judgment in the battle of life,
we must not be astonished if they some
times evince a lack of judgment. We
should not harshly condemn as deficiencies
cr crimes traits and conduct that are the
legitimate results of their unfortunate
antecedents. In short, where the depress
ing influences of slavery have worked their
full measure of evil, we should rather aid
to elevate the victims than to denounce and
punish them for their misfortunes.

done much, too, for the negro in the free

larged and cheerful views of his mo

elevation of the negro, and the complete
aucceEs of free labor in the South. This
will be seen by the following extracts :

The Submission of the South.
In a country so extensive as the rebel
lious Etates, embracing a population which
abounds with striking original characteris
tics, it cannot be expected that an unvary
ing uniformity of action and feeling in re
gard to their defeat will be displayed. The
germs of hostility may still smoulder in
some districts, and there will be as many
shades to their enforced loyalty as we wit
ness in the green foliage of an American
forest. But, although there are occasional
rumors of bad behavior, and of downright
outrages, it must be confessed that the
great body of the Southern people are, to
all appearance, bearing themselves as cor
rectly and judiciously as could reasonably
be expected. • They have suffered grievous
ly. They have nothing to console them
for the ruin and desolation that is
visible on every hand. Decisive de
feat instead of exhilarating victory, is the
goal they have reached by the sacrifice of
the livee of thousands of theirbravest men,
and the destruction of their available
wealth. All their hopes have been blasted,
and all their prayers denied. The future
they can only " see through a glass
darkly," for they have struggled ineffec
tually against a superior power that will
henceforth exert a controlling influence
upon their destiny. But they have at least
been prompt to recognize this latter fact.
They spared no exertions to secure their
independence, but they feel now, since all
their efforts have been unsuccessful, that
further resistance is in vain ; and the same
instincts which prompted many to support
" the powers that be," while DAVIS ruled
at Richmond, will urge them to bear true
and faithful allegiance to the legal autho
rities of our country.
Not a few of tke former rebel °Cicero
have given.eound and wholesome advice
to their soldiers, but the farewell address
of JEFF Tnomrson to his troops is couched
in such pointed terms that we reprint it
here as a fair presentment of the prevailing
opinion of the rebellious States :
* * I have called you together that I may
advise you as to your statue and proper course to
pursue for the future. It is useless now to orimlnate
end recriminate, but the fact is evident that as an
Independent nation we are badly wiappea, and 4 the

You have now assembled to be paroled, in core
ft-rmity with my agreement and order, and I hope
you are complying with the spirit of my order, and
are acting in good faith; for unless you are doing
so, the object we are so desirous to attain will be
missed, and instead of peace and quiet we will still
have petty feuds, murders, house Dunlop, and
troubles that wilt be worse than open war. '

Repeal of the Charter of the Pittsburg

WlLLlAlawrorm, Jude 21,1265.
This is the week set apart for the meeting of the
United States Court, and our town is consequently
thronged wish jurymen and distinguished strangers.
Among the jurymen I notice Congressmen cleat
Lawrence, of Worthington; Fuller, of Fayette; and
Wilson, of Tioga.
The case exciting by far the most interest is the
argument on the eonstitutionality of the repeal of
the charter of the Pittsburg and Conne llsvllle Rail.
road Company by the Pennsylvania Legislature,
last winter a year. The Pittsburg and Connelsville
Railroad route, it is well known, extends from Pitts
burg via Connelsville to Cumberland, illd, there
connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
thus giving another line to the seaboard to the eiti
zens of Pittsburg and the West. Through various
mine it has felled to be entirely completed, and in
the winter of Riea-04 the Pennsylvania Legislature
repealed its franchises and privileges, and gave
teem to the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, a corporation under the control of the Penn-
Sylvania Central Railroad Company. The par
rtes reely at issue are, therefore, the latter
named corporation and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. There was a, line array of legal

Tenth Wright, State Reports. J. 11. B. Latrobe,
Esq., of Baltimore, and Hon. Reverdy Johnson spoke
against the constitutionality of the act of the Penn
sylvania Legislature repealing the charter of the
Connelsville Railroad Company. There were two
cases on the list. First—the Pittsburg and Cone
nelleville Railroad versus the Southern Pennsylvap •
nia Railroad Company; and neat the City of Bath-
More versus the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
By mutual consent, the first was dropped from the
list, and the merits of the case were argued on the
second suit. The city of Baltimore had lent her
credit to the Pittsburg and Connelsville Railroad
to the extent of $1,000,000, and she asked that the
United Staten Circuit Court restrain the State of
Pennsylvania from turning over the franehleell and
privileges of the Pittsburg and Connelsville Rail
road to another corporation, thus letting her out in
the acid. On this question, Judge Lowry Spoke

clearly unconstitutional, and will doubtless so be

but submitted the (mention to the omit on what his

WASHINGTON, June 23.—The President has di-
Noted Hon. William P. Dale, Commissioner of In
dien Affairs, to proceed to the Indian country, for
the purpose of effecting important treaties with the
hostile as well as the peaceable Indian tribes. In
his instructions to Mr. Dale, the President says that
he deems the present an auspicious and fitting time
for the renewal of efforts to impress upon the In
dians in the more distant Territories the rapidly
increasing and pressing necessity for the abandon
ment of their wild and roving habits, and the
adoption in their Stead of the more peaceful
and industrious arts of civilized life. There le
no longer any region of territory left within the
United States where their rade habits and mode
of life can prevail as formerly. They are being
pressed and hemmed in on every side by the advanc
ing settlements of an indmdsions and enterprising
people, and _they must therefore learn to adapt
themselves to the new order of things, and to live in
peace among themselveS, and with their white
neighbors, or they must inevitably perish. The
policy of settling them upon imitable reser
vations, where they may, with the aid and friend•
ship of the Government, be able to subsist
theizeleivea by agriculture and other industrial
pursuits' is left without alternative. These views
have doubtless impressed themselves upon you
during the period you have had the immediate
direction of oar Indian relations, and your expert•
once in treating with the Indians, and familiarity
with their characteristic& serve to point you out as
tile proper officer of the Indian Department to visit
the various tribes in the Territories, and to enter
into such treaties with them as Will best secure per
manent tranquility on our borders, and promote
their future welfare and prosperity. The coin

Sin : In my , despatch, No. IN, written at , Mobile,
I informed the Department that the rebel commie
stoners at Galveston had desired transportation to
New Orleans, to meet General Clauby, with a view
to arrange terms Of surrender, and that I had di.
reeled Such transportation to be furnished.
On the evening of the 18th of MAY, I arrived at
New Orleau. where I remained until the morning
of the 6th Mit., and during that period had several
official Interviews with Colonel Ashbel Smith, the
commander of the 'defences of Galveston, who al&
seized me that there would be no opposition on the
part of the tortes under his command or the ,people
to the occupation of Galveston by the navy. On
the morning of the 6th I left New Orleans on the
United States steamer R. R. Onyler, and an
chored Off Galveston yesterday at two 0 , 01001 P. AL
Captain' Sands then informed me that On the IS

General J. B. Magruder cameon board the United

by Brigadier General E./J. Davie '
representing
Major Gametal E. R. J. Canby, and the terms of
surrender heretofore agreed upon between the re
presentatives of Generals Smith and Canby were
signed by General E. Kirby Smith.. After the sign

house. The citizens conducted themselves In the '
moat orderly manner. The flag is now floating on
all the forts in the harbor, but as we have not suffi
cient force from the fleet to garrison the latter, I
have directed the light-draught gunboats Cornubia,
Preston, and New London to remain inside of the
bar, where they will soon be joined by the Port
Royal. I have also given orders to Oominatt•
der Le Roy, of the Ossippee, to convey with his
vessel the troops which General , Canby, It is
hoped, will in a few days be able to despatch to
occupy the different forts on the coast already sur
rendered to us. General Brown, of the United -
States army, on the it Inst., with a brigade, took
possession of the garrison at Brownsville. The
other ports on the coast of Texas, which have hick-.
erto been blockaded by our vessels, are now held by
the naval fcroes. Thus blockadaranning from Gal

I went on shore and had an interview with the atoll

It Is to be understood,. however, that the blockade

thamilitary genius of the man. The people have
not (probably because of General Grant's native
modesty) been heretofore wiling to give him credit
for originality of mind, or for that military genius
(which le tao highest Corm of mental power) and
WIIIOI/ Conceives as well as eatennes. In fact. I have
heard - officers and soldiers assert that to General
Sherman alone was due tne credit of planning the
entire campaign, which resulted in the capture or
Vicksburg; Wben the truth is, that campaign was
the conooption of General Grant himself. And
more than this, the most brilliant movement of it
was undertaken contrary to the: advise of General
Sherman, atul in the teeth of his written protest .

Philip, aU good talkers, and loving to talk, too.
The topic aft the question of slavery , the effect of
• the war u p on It, Ste. General Sherman contended
that slit „ ty had nothing to do with the war, and
w
should no be made to enter into it; that the Southern
ers were h-toned gentlemen ; that he had no °Wee.

inn to el ery per se' that the war would last fifteen
years, ann that the death could only be made to sac
numb of they had been Virtually all but extermi
nated ; at, that it was a war between the pentane
and cave re, Messrs. Dubois and Phillips, especial
ly the forcer, stoutly combatted these ideas. Mr.
Dubois contended that slavery. was the cause of the
war, and Ihat it must be removed before a perm,.
neat peace mid be secured ; also that, as regarded
the duration of it, if those in charge of it would
only do their duty It could be closed up in a short
time; the t he people of the North had given them
men and °my in almost unlimited numbers and
amounts, d that the result was in their hands.
With every appliance to a successful termination.
Mr. PhilllB then took up the conversation with
General ... Orman on the midget of slavery ; and
General Grant,who had remained a silent listener
aurib the, other discussion., with the inevitable
cigar etymon his lips, withdrew from the cabin to
the a In ald Mr. Dubois followed him. The gen
eral had net beckoned the auditor from the room,
but both eared to be drawn together by one of
these me nial attractions for which there Is no ac
counting. •ipon the deck a conversation ensued be
tween the tee, the substance of which Is as follows :
Gen. Grain. Uncle Jesse, to tell you the truth, I;
hate come th my wit's end as regards the capture of
Vicksburg- I do not really know what next move to
make. I InVe tried everything - I could thinker, and
here we WOOL I have been advised that we go

item that slnt.
Mr. Debate. Gen. Grant, you Cannot do that. If
you takethr army back to Memphis, with all this
array of g nboata and transports and all - your
material of. War, the effect will be disastrous on the
country. This infernal constitution in our State
was only detested by superhuman exertions. An
other election is almost upon us, and the whole
northwest Is on the verge of revolution. It you go
back you strengthen the hands of the traitors and
K. O. C.'s at home. They will call your movement

General Grent replied that he would reflect upon
the mattes during the night, and let Mr. Dabois
know of his determination in the morning. When
the morningaarne,Cienerel Grant met Mr. Dubois
with a ohaerftil countenance, and the following Con
versation took place :

Auditor Dubois went home and told GoVernor
Yates that Grant would tate Vicksburg ; that he
bad no doubt °tit ; that Gaiters! Grant told him to
tall bite 80, and that he mull tell it'fo the people as
coming from General Grant. It will be remembered
that the promise of General Grant war pllblietied is
the papers at that time, and that Governor Yates
repeated it from the stumps
General Grant's next move was to send for Gene.
ral John A. MoOlernand, and ordered him to march
his corps from Milliken's Bend to Grand Gulf.
General MoOlernand proposed some changes in the
details of the plan, but General Grant oat him short
by saying that ho had digested and arranged the
entire details for the movement, and only required
Min (General MoClernand) to execute his orders.
General MoOlernand then said he would do that to
the beat Of Ida ability, and departed on his expedi-
tion.
And here it may be well to add that at this time
strenuous efforts were being niade at Washington
for the removal of General Grant. Not only West
Point was arrayed against him, but Republic's&
members of Congress, some of them from this State,
went to Mr. Lincoln and urged his removal, taking
back their former endorsements of him. Leading
Republican papers in this State also loudly de
nounced him, and clamored for his sapareedure. At
this time a leading Republican slid retired office
holder from this State, who had been down the
river buying cotton, wrote a letter to Mr. Lincoln
denouncing General Grant, predicting his faller*,
and urging the appointment of General. Pope to
his command. • He brought the letter to Hon. 0. IL
Hatch, then Secretary of State, and one of Mr.
Lincoln's most intimate friends, and asked him to
direct it, but did not show him its contents. He re
presented to Mr. Hatch that Mr. Nicolay, who had
been Mr. Hatch's deputy clerk; seeing the hand
writing, would band it to Mr. Lincoln. Hearing of
'tile occurrence, and suspecting a trick, Mr. Dubois
made Mr. Hatch write a letter to the President,
which both signed, and which urged him-to do noth-
Rig against General Grant; that they had been
down tie river, and, to far as they had anything to
say in the matter, they were perfectly satisfied with
him.
Subsequently to the capture of 'Wolfsburg, Mr.
Dubois was in Washington, to obtain a sick far--
lough for his son, who had been at the siege,
and
was then In a Memphis beSpital. Mr. Lincoinhim
self went to the War °Moe frith Mr. Dubois to ob
tain the furlough, Returning from the aloe, and
while Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Dubois, and Mr, D. L,
Phil
lips were standing at the railing which separates
the War office grounds from those of the White
House, the following Conversation, in saluitallOk
took place ;
Mr. Dubois "Mr. President, Ido not like Gene
ral Grant's paroling those prisoners at Vicksearg.
We had better feed than tight them."
Mr. Lincoln, straightening himself np to his full
height, and his countenance beaming with that
peculiar smile which indlOated that he was highly
pleased: Dubois, General Grant has done so
well, and we are all so pleased at the taking of
Vicksburg, let us not quarrel with him about that
matter." He also added: "Dubois," placing his
foot upon the base of the railing, and taking a less
erect posture, "do you know that, at one time, I
stood solitary and 810110 here in favor of General
Grant. Even (meaning a member-of Congress
from Northern Illinois), came and told me that he
(Grant) was not worth a—, and that I would
have to remove him. But I remembered that you
and Hatch and others had been down there about
the first of April, and had not said a word to me on
the subject,'

Say about the Trial,
MR. EWINO'S DEFENCE OF ARNOLD
A lioviow of the Evidence, the Counsel says,
Anyhow, the Court has not a bit of
Jurisdiction in the Case.
DR. MUDD'S LIFE ASSAILED BY
FALSE TESTIMONY.
— uio -ASSAULT.
No Facie Produced to Implicate him in any
way with the . Murder,
WASHINGTON, June 23.—George B. RlltahlkBol2,
a witness called by the s3overnment, testlfled that
.he was an enlisted man, during the recent war, for
!a, year and a half; he 'saw Clement 13.01ay on or
'about the .12th or lath of February last, at the
Queen's Hotel, Toronto; he did not think he was
mistaken in seeleg Olay then and there; he also
saw Sanders, Beverly Taokerland others, at Mont
real, on the 16th or 17th of the same month; the
witness was present at a conversation at the St.
Lawrence Hall, Montreal, on the 2d or 3d of Jane,
when the present trial was the subject discussed by
'Dr. Merritt, Beverly Tucker, General Oarroll, of
Tennessee, and ex-Governor Wescott, of Florida;
Beverly Tucker said he had burnt all the letters,
' for fear the Yankee sons of would steal them;
the witness had knowledge that Dr, Merritt enjoyed
the confidence of Tucker and the others.
Mr. Ewing then proceeded to read the argument
In the prisoner Arnold's ease. He. remarked that
the evidence was not voluminous, and it was all in
harmony se to the Math BMW. Mr. Horner, the
detective, said that Arnold, after Ida arrest. gave
an account of a meeting held at the Lichen House,
in Wafhington, the object of which was to capture
the President and take him South, for the purpose
of compelling the Government to an exchange of
prisoners. After announcing his Intention of hav
Mg nothing to do with it If not performed within
the week, Arnold withdrew from it, when Booth
said for this he ought to be shot. Booth had pre-
viously furnished the conspirators with arms,And
so perfectly satisfied did he become that Arnold
had withdrawn from the plot, that he told Arnold
to dispose of the arms placed In the prisoners'
hands just es he pleased. This statement of
Arnold was truthful and Ingenuous, and all the evi
dame corroborated and conformed to it. In Booth's
trunk was found a letter from Arnold, dated from
BookstOwn, March With, in reply to ore front Booth,
who had endeavored to reclaim and again enlist
him In his scheme. This letter showed that the
rupture between them was complete—never to be
healed. During Arnold's stay at Mrs. Van Tyne's,
In this city, it was not denied that he was engaged
In the plot for the capture of President Lincoln.
Arnold remained in Maryland from the 21st to the
31st of March, when he proceeded to Fortress Mon
roe for the purpose of entering upon a situation as
clerk with Mr. Wharton. About the 20th of March
occurred the meeting which resulted in the quarrel
of the accused with Booth, when Arnold gave up
his room at Mrs. Van Tyne's and never saw Booth
afterward.
The evidence established only that at one time
Arnold was a party to a plot to capture or abduct
the Pretident. if on the 14th of April the Presi
dent had been abducted instead of assassinated, Ar
nold could not be punished, becalm he had with
drawn from the conspiracy, as the prisoner Conn
termanded the intention to attain; and altogether
withdrew froM it. There WaB no crime commuted,
and as a consequence no punishment should follow.
Mr. Ewing quoted from various legal authorities
to shot, that after Arnold lied jerfainated his man
dentin with the conspirators, he was not reSpOn•
sible for what was done afterwards. No one aot of
the conspirators could affect him. There was not
the rettioteat testimony to connect. Arnold with the
Commission of the murderous deed. lie repeated
that the oriainal plot in which Arnold bore a part
wit i sk r embitied u And an entirely new one „fa
tilted. Although be bad conspired with toe same
parties for a different purpose, he certainly was not
responsible with the wicked men who did the wicked
deed of murder. The prisoner, the counsel argued,
Could not be an accessory before the fact of a mime
he did not know was to be Committed. At the time
of the assafsination Arnold WSB not in Washington.
He was not nearer the 800nOthan Fortress Monroe ;
DOT did he give any guilty aid or participation to
the murder alter the crime had been committed.
Alter a recess, Mr. Ewing addressed the ;Mort
upon the subjeotorjuradiction, arguing that neither
the Constitution of the United States, nor the laws
passed under it, gives them power to try the pried
oars of the crime with whioh they are charged. As
there was no constitutional or legal provision for
trial on such a count, it must have been authorized
by tame mandate from the Executive which the
Constitution prohibits. If his clients were to be
tried for treason and murder, it must be proved that
they aided in or abetted the acts, for either of them
on conviction was punishable with death. The Judge
Advocate would not say on what law and authority
he rested the conviction of these parties, and for
what crime. The civil courts were open without
Impediment for impartial anti, &c., hence in the
absence of other considerations there was no neces
sity for this trial before a military court. If snob a
precedent be set, we may. have fastened upon us
a military despotism. It might be this sr
raignment before a military Court was more conve
nient, and conviction more certain than before a civil
tribunal. The Judge Advocate had said that the
parties were tried under the common military law.
This was a quiddity, and might make a fictitious
crime, and attach en arbitrary punishment, and -
Who may gainsay it f Our. roles and articles of war
are familiar to tie all. We never heard of the coon
mon laws of war having jurisdiction not conferred
by express enactment or constitutional grant. If
the laws govern, he (Mr. Ewing) felt satisfied that
his clients were safe. One of them, Dr. Mudd,' had
committed no crime known to the laws. He could
not be charged with treason, nor melding and abet•
tins in the murder of the President, for at the time
of the tragedy, Dr. Xlldd Was at his residence,
thirty miles from the place of the mime. He cer
tainly could not be charged with the Commission of
the. overt am. There were not two witnesses to
show it, but there was abundant evidence to show
he did not commit the overt W. Dr. Mudd never,
by himself or with others, levied war against the
United States, or gave aid and comfort to the
enemy.
Mr. Ewing then proceeded to comment on the
Mildew*, claiming that there was nothing which in
the remotest degree connected Dr. Mudd with the
Conspiracy. He ventured to say that rarely, in the
annals of the civil trials, has the life of accused
been assailed by so much false testimony as had
been exhibited in this case, and rarely has it been
the goad fortune of an innocent man to so confute
and overwhelm his false accusers by a preponder
arms of undisputed truth. There was no reliable
evidence. to show that Dr. Mudd met Booth more
than twice, and that was last November, in Charles
county, en a Mere matter of trade. He had
never met Booth in this city. The counsel then
reviewed the evidence relative to Dr. Mudd having
set Booth's leg, and other events in that oonnes
• arguing that, from all this, there was nothing
to lead to a 00110luidOn unfavorable to the accused,
Dr. Midst voluntarily, not on compulsion, gave in
formatiOn_Concerning the ,sate by welch Booth,
with BMW, had escaped, and; instead of tnanking
him for this, as a good and loyal-citizen, an effort
was made to punish him. Truly, the ways of mili
tary justice, like those of Providence, are inscsa
table and past finding out. In the course-of his de
fence Mr. Ewing said that, in an the writings which
had been seized there is note sorateh of a pen im
plicating Dr. Mudd; nor Is there anything what
ever to show that he bad the least intimation or
knowledge either of assassination or of

was in that city. It says:
When isoneral Grant was urged to.prolong his
stay at the fair a few days, le the ground that he
no was fairly entitled to a the - more furlough
lifter his four years of unremitting labor, he
replied that business, if important, must al
ways have precedence of pleasure,
.and that he
could be vastly more useful to the country at his
post, in Washington, than by lingering in Mingo ;
that he ocauddered it his highest immediate duty to
retrench Government expenses, and save the re.
SOUTOPEI of the people as far as lay in his power. lie
said that taxes.woreld be heavy enough hereafter In

unnecessarily to the burden.

200,000 head of horses and mules in possession of

150,000 to 175,00 Q of them at publio„anotionte the

'Treasury. The saving for their support cad at

sources of the country and paying the taxes. Gen.
Grant intends to reduce tne army to the lowest
point consistent with public safety. It, is not probe

ale that more than 100,000 men, after the first of
January, will be retained In the service, and part of
these may be gradually mustered out during the

are the only white troops that are likely to be kept
