ETTER FROM " OC CA SIONAL.” WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 1865. The deliberate refusal of the New York Lonocrats, in their State convention, to Lake opposition to negro suffrage one of 6sues of the day, is worth a good deal a rebuke to those mere politicians who L , ve attempted to make this rallying at the Corning elections. In New York I :adreds of colored people vote upon a pro l'lty qualification, and it would have been I . , relly consistent for the Democratic mane- PIE , , in their aspirations for a new gospel, and ba their anxiety to get rid of the putrid Cop lerhead corpses to which they have been tied, to make hostility to a law which has v • l ' r lied well in their own State, a plank in bet they intended to be a national plat /Wm. I have seen a number of Southern leaders who have expressed their willingness Ir, adopt the New York statute in regard to : , -!fireel suffrage in their new constitutions, ` l ' . ft Pledge of their sincere desire to come 111 lb the expectations of the earnest 4. tn of the times. This point did escape the shrewd men who had of that convention, nor yet were L ' ( :.Y blind to • the other fact that toegress will be compelled, before the 1 ' 1t congressional apportionment, to take z!;.11 steps as will prevent the party maim ofthe Southern States from representing entire black population instead of three rink, as heretofore. General Schenck, in late speech in Ohio, states the case with El- , much clearness, that I adopt his lan -sA!ege, to show how wise were the Demo- - tiatg of New York in avoiding a committal h j g" 111 %1 what may, by the sheerest exigency, i i6r eed upon the people of the country : Let es look into this matter, and I especial.- the attention of any Democrats who Is k present, for I want them to answer Tlii l!er there is anything anti-Democratie or D r ,V , enublicatt in this proposition. By the eut three-fifths rule, supposing the slaves •/I to remain in bondage, the following were -5 of the results: Maine, by the census of 1860, had a popuia t,4 of (taxa, and this population was allowed e representatives. I:;ahtima bad a population of 516,431, just t.:rio less than Maine, bat she was allowed, I ,:',:•!rr the three-fifths rule, seven members—two /e than Maine. ;, ` . .errnont had a population of 314,389 upon . she was allowed three representatives. „,"South Carolina had a population of 291,385 less than Vermont, and upon that, be or the large number tives—twice as of her slaves', she owed six representa many ir,?,,(rln Ont population, though Vermont has the greatest t. ,,„teinte . : , 1 4= ,,,Isylvania, with a population Of 2,849,260, twenty-four representatives: while ` , a Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala- VOL. 9.-NO. 37. barna, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana, all combined, have an aggregate Tree population of 2,822,785-10,000 less than Pennsylvania alone —and zmt they are allowed thirty-nine repro sentatives—fliteen more than the. same popu lation in a free State. "But let the Constitution of the United States - stand unclianged, slavery being extinguished, and what will follow? Why, that the other two-fifths wilibe represented, and how many of these arc there in the slave States?' 1,580,212 more will be represented, when you come to add the other two-fifths. This will give to the South, in addition to the great advantage she already has, fourteen more votes in Congress. Then the Southern States I have mentioned in connection with Pennsylvania:will have fifty:. votes in Congress, to her twenty-four, while' haying only the same voting population. "By the . adoption of the amendment to the Constitution that I propose, it is true that it may become a question with the people of Ohio whether they will, in case the south en franchises its black population in order to get a representation for them, do the same for the colored people. For myself, I am willing to meet the South on this ground. If they can afford to give the ballot to their millions, surely we can afford to give it to our thou sands. "But this is a question for the future, and I shall not discuss 4 .t now, Let us amend the Constitution so as to make it to the interest of the Southern States to have their negroes vote, if they think proper. In the process of time as the negroes become educated and fitted for the right of suffrage, if they wish to widen their representation by giving them the right to vote, well and good. But, until they do that, they must stead where they do in re gard to representation. "This is the platform upon whichl propose to stand. I shall not ..disbuss the question whether we shall force upon the rebel States negro suffrage. I will not discuss the question whether we shall allow them to vote in any of the States. I would simply so amend the Con stitution in favor of freedom and in favor of equal representation, as that these people shall see at to their interest to let every Intel, ligent lover of freedom vote, and give them the privilege of so doing if they choose." In the face of such figures and facts as these, how ridiculous it would be to attempt to rally an intelligent and progressive peo ple,_whose minds are directed to the discus sion. of immortal truths, and to the clis coveryof proper remedies for great compli cations, on such a subterfuge as opposition to colored Suffrage OCCASIONAL.

A few days ago a very interesting scene took place at the usual crowded reception of the President. Applicants were approaching Mr. .Tonnsox, each with his case ready; after briefly stating which, and a record being made of it by the private secretary, way was made for others. In the line was Mr. BANNS, an enterprising young merchant of New York, and his friend Mr. KNKVAN, of Petersburg, a leading miller, who applied for pardons coming as he did within the twenty-thou sand dollar or thirteenth clause of the amnesty proclamation. As soon as the Presi dent saw Mr. Halms he recognized him, asked him his business, and hearing that it was to ask a pardon foi f Mr. Xsr.v.Au, he took a note of it, and told him, smilingly, lie would hear from him in the mornings The reason why the President recognized the young New Yorker is best explained by the follow. ing short narrative : In April of 1861, after the Senate of the United States had. ad journed, Mr. BANKS was going from Wash ington to the South, on the railroad running by Gordonsville and Petersburg. At his side was a very pleasant person, who conversed freely on the different topics of the hour, and finally asked him to change a $2.50 gold piece, which he did. When the cars stopped at Gordonsville there was a great and excited crowd assembled. They at once demanded, and sent some of their number into the train to see, "whether ANDY JOUNRON was on board 1" "Lets hear from him !" "Drag him out!" At this moment the gentleman at the side of Mr. BANKS rose, and was Walking* to the platform to show himself, when the engineer started the train and dashed off at his best speed. Ills companion was Annanw Jomisoui -As he took his seat, Mr.BANKS asked him where he was going. He „said, "To my home at Greenville, Tenn." "I am glad we got off from those gentlemen, Go vernor," said RA - Bas. "I am sorry," said Jouxso . ,,;; "I wanted to tell them what I thought of secession." Mr. TLlNics then asked the Governor if he was armed. The reply wal in the negative; when the New Yorker handed one of his finc,reyolvers to the Tennes- see Senator, and they soon afterwards parted to meet a few days ago in the Presidential mansion. BANKS has his gold piece to this day. The nest morning he was sent for, and as the President met him he said, "I have often thought of you, Mr. BANKS. You gave me a pistol that might have saved my life. • I now give your friend, KEIWAN, apardon to start him in business." internal Revenue Receipts.

Speech of the Preshtlent to a Delega Hon of Southerners. To-clay a delegation of Southerners, retire• renting seven States—Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Florida, Arkansas, Virginia, and Ten nessee—and numbering between fifty and silty persons, called upon the President of the United States. Hon. W. 11. MCFARLAND, Of Virginia, ad dressed him on behalf of the visitors. It be came his agreeable and pleasant duty to Say that they desired to assure him of their personal regard and their confidence in his purpose to administer the Govern ment upon the highest principles of wisdom and mature statesmanship. They were confi dent that his policy would be earnestly sus tained by the entire South, and that devotion to the Union and free institutions would over charaeterize all their pOlitleal and personal acts ; and it was their purpose ever cheerfully and earnestly to support him and his admin iWation of the general Government ; and in making this pledge, as gentlemen, they had a right to demand full credence for their sin cerity, Mr. McFamazin elaborated their views, con cluding with thanks to the President for his Patient attention and disposition to give full faith to the sincerity of those he represented. Whatever" may be said to the contrary, the purposes and object of the entire South, he felt assured, was for restoration and peace upon the basis of the Union Of the States. REPLY OF THE. PRESIDENT . . The President, in reply, expressed his sur prise at receiving so large a number of gen tlemen from the South. He had no idea that so many persons would call upon him when be consented to this interview.

He had confidence in the expression just ut tered, of devotion ,to the restoration of the union mini the professions of loyalty so gene- Tally evideneed, and he was assured that the disposition was to aid in building :alp the waste places - of the South, and restoring peace, happiness, good will, and union. He did , riOt; believe the sensation letter- Writers and' editors : who were endeavoring to create theltliefirtinionAhat there exists in the South disadVetien mid dissatisfaction; for the presence ' of so many, eminent and distin guished gentlemen, 'representing such a large constituency, fully . disproved the fact, and gave the lie to their pestilent and malignant Utterances. lie had confidence in the profes -91.011S of the people of the South, and of their purpose to restore the Union upon the princi. ples of the Constitution, and he hoped and believed they were ready to come up and rally around the Union and the Constitution. The feud that existed was M a family circle, and the ties of friendship, now that it had ended, hetritated, would be stronger and more enduring than ever. The MiSSiOn Of this great people is a high and holy one, and in the Union only could the purposes of itspeople and free Government be administered. The President referred to the existing condition of public affairs and the gratifying and pa. triotic evidences presented to him of an early restoration of fraternity between the diffe. rent sections of the Union, and the good to follow this peaceful state of affairs; and in conclusion expressed the hope that men theroughly loyal would be elected to Congress in order that the South might be again ad mitted to the councils of the nation. The re marks of President Johnson were frequently interrupted byapplause, and all seemed highly gratified by.the interview. Mississippi—The Correspondence Be tween the President and Governor Sharkey. The following is a correct version of the cor respondence between the President and Gov. SHARKEY, of Mississippi : On the 19th uit. Governor SHARMEV issued a proclamation calling on the people of the State to organize, under the militia laws of the State in each county, a force to detect and apprehend criminals and to prevent crime. The President saw this proclamation, and it is snlVOSed, approved it, us he issued no or (ler countermanding it. Upon the 2Dth of August the President re eeived a despatch from Cnnt, ScHenz express ing fears of the propriety of Governor SHARE:- M -7 1j course and deprecating any Winn by the President adverse to the order issued lly Ala.; jor General SLommt, the department com mander. . The President, under date of August 30th, te legraphed to Mr. SCHURZ, as follows ti I presume General Slocum will issue no order interfering with Governor Sharkeyls efforts to restore the functions of the State, without first consulting the Government, and giving the reasons for such proposed interfe rence. It is believed there can be organized, in each county, a force of citizens or militia to suppress crime, restore order and enforce the Civil authority of the State and of the United States, which would enable the Federal Government to reduce the army, and with draw, to a great extent, the forces from the States, thereby reducing the enormous expenses of the Government. If there- was any danger from au organization of the citi zens for thepurpose indicated, the military are there to suppress, on the first appearance, any movement insurrectionary in its charac ter. One great object is to induce the people to come forward in the defence of the State and Federal Government. General Washington declared that the peOple, or the militia, Was the army of the Constitution, or the army of the - United States; and as soon as it is practicable the original design of the Got,ern ment should be resumed, under the principles of the great charter of freedom handed down to the people by the founders of the Republic. The people must be trusted with their Go vernment, and if trusted, my opinion is that they will act in good faith, and restore their former constitutional relations with all the States comprising the Union. "The main object of Major General Carl Schurz's mission to the South Was to aid, as much as practicable, in carrying out the poli cy adopted by the Government, for restoring the States to their former relations with the Federal Government. It is hoped such aid has been given, The proclamation authorizing the restora tion of State Government requires the mili tary to aid the Provisional Governor in the performance of , his duties, as prescribed in the proclamation, and in no manner to inter fere or throw impediments in the way of the consummation of the object; of his appoint ment at least without advising the Govern ment of the intended interference. ANDREW .Tounsoir, President of the United States. By direction of the President a copy ot this was ordered to be given to Governor Sharkey. On September 2 the President received a despatch from Governor Sharkey, stating that General Slocum had issued an order prevent ing the execution of his proclamation of Au gust 19, and acknowledging the receipt of the copy of the despatch sent to General Schurz on the 30th ult., which despatch Governor Sharkey earnestly requested permission to publish. To this request the Preident replied, by telegraph, as follows: Alv despatch was not intended for publica tion, but you can make such use of it as you deem best." On the same day the following despatch, was sent to General SLocunr : WAR ROPAATELENT, WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9,1865. MOor General Slocum, Upon the 19th of August Governor Sharkey issued a proclamation, calling for the forma tion of military companies in each county to detect criminals, prevent crime, and preserve good order in places whore the military forces' of the United States were insufficient to de so. if you have issued an order countermanding this proclamation, or interfering i with its exe cution, you will at once revoke t. Acknow ledge the receipt of this order, and telegraph your action on it. By order of the President of the United States. J T. ECKERT, Acting Secretary of War. In this connection it is appropriate to refer to the first paragraph of the order appended to the prOchunation announcing the appoint ment of a Provisional Glevernor for Ilis le. sippi, which reads : " And I do hereby direct that the military commander of the department and all officers and persons in the military and naval service, aid and assist the said Provisional Governor in carrying into effect this proclamation; and they are enjoined to abstain from in any way hindering, impeding or discouraging the loyal people from the organization of a State Gov ernment as herein authorized."

The following is the result ; For Cony'.... For Howard The Republican majority in these towns this year ie 10,656 against 6,997 last year—a net gain for the Republicans of 1,659, and a relative gain of about 4,000. The majority in the State last year, exclu sive of the soldiers' vote, was 16,242. If the same relative gain continues throughout the State, the Republican majority will nearly reach 20,000. The aggregate vote of the State will, nearly reach 80,000, of which Cony will have about 50,000, against 62,520, the vote lie received last year, and Howard about 30,000, against 45,287 last year. These calculations are made exclu sive of the soldiers' vote, which was last year, Cony, 3,054, and Howard, 110, which swelled Cony's majority to 19,180. The IlepublieallB have made a gain in the representatives, of which, however, they had all but about thirty last year, with the entire Senate.

The Judge Advocate had sue , - geeted to Min that it might be a subject outside of his men authority, and, therefOrk. properly belonging to the court. Some time. before this trial commenced the gentlemem who were then acting as the prisoner's; Min.' sel requested that a number' of witnesses for the defenee should be Sent for, and on their apPliCation this was done. Some of them could not be found; and others who were found bad not reported. The reason for this ne glect the counsel, of course, did not know. Since 'the trial had been progressing. mat ters were developed which showed the ne cessity of other witnesses being sentinelled, in order to meet new points brought out in the trial. Those witnesses were scat tered mostly in Georgia, and may be found within a few days; but in some places there were no mails or other means of reaching them by written communications, therefore, it was not probable they could be reached by the time they were wanted to tes tify in this court. Under these circumstances it was for the Government to say whether the defendant should have the facilities whieh the Government could afford, or whether ho must be deprived entirely of those witnesses. It was an absolute necessity that the defendant should have the witnesses in this way or not at all. Counsel believedthis defenda,ntcould show an ample defence. This was their sincere belief, and it was for them to ask that the prisoner have the means of making his defence. " Mena bers of this court, if they could be induced to believe the defendant had a defence, would re fusel° give him an opportunity to make it." He believedthis was the generosity of every man's heart. If it was within the jurisdiction Of this court, he asked that a messenger be despatched with subponthe for such persons whom he felt absolutely necessary to summon for the defence of the accused. The Judge Advocate had shown every dis position to procure the attendance of wit - /leases, so far as making out subpoenas was concerned, and so far as it was within the means of the 'defence to give their names, at bad been required by the Judge Advocate. Sonic sixty or seventy were 'in New York. After sifting them they came to the conclusion that only seven or ten of them -would be re quired. And now that the trial was approach ing au ono, he repeated that the witnesses he had asked for were absolutely necessary for the prisoner's defence. They would not put the Government to any unnecessary expense. So far as relates to New York, Itichmond,and in the neighborhood, the witnesses would be Sent ler at the expense of the defence, but further South, there being greater difficulties and increased expenses, i became absolutely necessary that the Government should grant the accommodation in the manner requested. He (Mr. Baker) would be ready with the list of witnesses to-morrow, in order that the mes senger Might leave at once. Judge advocate Chipman replied that the court were aware that from time to time lie had urged that the rule be complied with, namely, that a list of witnesses be furnished; that had not been fully done, and this morning the court was called upon to meet the request of counsel, that another special messenger be sent South. He said four weeks ago that one would be despatched to secure Witnesses, more for the defence than for the prosecution. These for the latter were mainly here. At the time the bailiff went to the old Capitol prison., and after the defendant had been furnished with a copy of the charges and specifications against him, a list of witnesses was made out by the prisoner supervised by Messrs. Hughes, Denver, and , Peek, at that time his counsel, to which was attached this endorse. mentby Capt. Wirt: "The above-named wit nesses are all I require. in my case." r -Ally of these - witnesses excepting four or five were here ; their absence was accounted for by the fact that several Fare in Europe, and the others in Texas. He had only to say that if in the progress of this trial it was be lieved by the counsel for the defence that additional witnesses were necessary, it was only fair to the Government that the coun sel should give a list of the witnesses, and where they could be found ,• and also what they expect to prove by them. He asked that there be no delay and no unnecessary expeases to the prosecution in this matter. The Govern ment was trying to do what was fair. Witness es south could be procured by telegraphing to the nearest military posts. On Saturday he subpcened forty witnesses for the defence, and placed postage stamps in the envelopes for mailing. As fast as counsel had furnished him -with names of witnesses he had issued sub pamas.. He did not know what more the Go. vernment could do. Mr. Baker said it might be well, in reply to the suggestion of the Judge Advocate, to call attention to the fact that many witnesses who had been subpoenaed for the prosecution, had been examined on the part of the Govern ment, and sometimes witnesSee had com plained that improper language had been used to them to draw out of them something for the prosecution. He hardly believed that the Judge Advocate would attempt to use the influence of the Government to frighten or press out Of our witnesses anything I for the prosecution, and he would not so charg,e, but witnesses came here under very peculiar circumstances. Many of them feel it to be necessary to say and do all that they can to leave a favorable impression with the Government officers—to show their friend ship or good feeling to the Government, - nesses had remarked to him, when he asked them how they would testify, "Why, do you suppose I will leave anything undone to save my befall" This, Mr. Baker said, without re quiring any pressure on the part of the Go vernment„would account fOr the witnesses summoned for the defence appearing willing, as the Judge Advocate said, to testify for the prosecutor. Mr. Baker, in conclusion, remarked that the absence of the witnesses referred to necessi tated the presence of others to fill their places. With regard to the Judge Advocate'e suggestion that he should make an affidavit as to what he proposed to prove by these wit nesses, he really could not do so for want of time. The court would have to adjourn for a week to enable him to do so, and unless he could have this done the greater portion of the defence must be given up. They could have no defence unless they could have their witnesses here, The court, after deliberating with closed doors, announced its decision relative to the witnesses, namely S The defendant should pre sent to the court affidavits to the names of the several witnesses, the places of their resi dence, and a reasonable ground that they can be found; and secondly, the facts he expects and believes he can prove by each of them. From this the court may determine the mate riality Of the evidence, and order the wit nesses accordingly. Mr. Baker said the court understood from his remarks that with all the time counsel could give to this subject, they could not, with their other duties, now draw up separate affi davits. He was willing, however to do any thing in hiepower to give the prisoner: a fair defence, and must from necessity, after the prosecution has closed, ask for a few days, in order to attend to what the court required, even if he had to work day and night, so that the subpoenas might be sent as soon as pee- The court said that it would be better to grant the time now than after a while, and not when the prosecution is closed. That involved time to make the affidavits, and to send a mes senger to Georgia, Texas, and elsewhere. Mr. Baker replied they had no witnesses be yond New Orleans. The court said they were disposed to grant the time, but the question was whether they should de so now cr after a while. Mr. Baker suggested that if they waited till after the prosecution was ended, many thiligs will have been developed for which they could provide in their Pummelling witnesses, but if the court adjourned now counsel would lose a great deal of time ; but after the prosecution should close counsel must have time to rook over what the Government witnesses have tes tifled to, and if they had an opportunity they could confine the witnesses for the defence to particularpoints. The court repeated that, an affidavit as to what the prisoner proposed to prove must be appended to the name of each witness, or the prisoner could state his belief. bir. Behar said the President of the court being a lawyer, knew - that lawyers always shaped the affidavits.. Major General Wallace. "And there are two of von" air. Baker. It is impossible to do so now. General Bragg said the counsel must Dave been apprises - I of the names of witnesses, and what they would swear to, or else the applica tion was made in bad faith. If the defendant found out the names of the witnesses, all that was necessary to be done was to consult with the defendant, and draw out the facts which he expected to prove by those whose names he handed in this morning. Mr. Baker replied that required time, and" the court could give it to him by adjourning. He must have time to know how to shape things. major General Thomas said this question Was pretty well opened the first week ; he knew it as well then as he did now. He kneW what the defence would be, and it was too late at this day to ask the court for further time. Mr. Baker. I only askedsthe court to send a courier. . . The Court. You heard the rulifig. Mr, Baker repeated what to his mind ap peared the diftleul_ty in the Way. General Brag. How long will it require you to draw the WE( avits 1 Mr. Baker. Two or three days, working steady, There are twenty or thirty witnesses. I could state generally what we expect to prove, and do this at the Judge Advocate's office, with the aid of a reporter. This could be done without an adjournment of the court. The Court. Very we 1. The question is set tled.

PREDICAMENT. `Portion of the remarks of the counsel be read, reflecting upon 1 - d3nself and his associate, Ka• jor Hosmer.

The official reporter then read the. excep tionable words given in a former part of tins report. .Mr, Baker, There is no reflection there. ' The Judge Advocate. The language tin• proper, as It censures the Judge Advocate and leaves a clear' inference that the counsel be lieves that they, in the preliminary examine -lion, used improper means to influence the witnesses. i pronounce the whole thing false. The preliminary examination was conducted bj• Maj. Roamer and myself, and was made with , all fairness and courtesy, and in the presence of the officers of the court and reporters and witnesses. Ido not recollect ofany such case; and tam sure nothing Iniat occurred to justify the ,remark; I propounce I ask the *Mitt to order am- investigation , so • that the comaseimay snstain his speech by prOftf, and that the officer or officers found derelict In the particular of acting unprofessionally may be‘dealt with by this court. This is due to the{Jilidge Advcicate. liligin%:6eneral Thomas. We should know the Ines of the witnesses referred to by the' cou , Mr- 7 ker. I thought I was careffil in giving the 1 " 'eas.ietiS of the witness' talk to me at ter taking hold of my arm. I thought I. was very* . reful not to leave any impression that the Judge MiVoeste could be guilty of any such thing. It may be enough for me to say that I pave too high an opinion of the Judge Advocate to believe that he did any such thing Out when witnesses come here, they feel they areunder these restraints which we Cannot feel, because we are not in their posi turns. Jz must let them go for what they are worth. :l do not think the Judge Advdca - te is guilty of this thing, and I want no such con structioa put on my language. Major en. Wallace. The language is equiva lent to a charge, not only against the Judge Advocate, but against some person connected with the it.overnment; and if not made in the form of a charge by the counsel, it comes at least as an accusatory statement froth. wit 'nesses- 'lf the things stated' are true, it is cer tainly in the power of (*tinsel to give ' the names of witnesses. Mr. Baiiet. I don't know them, Major fieneral Wallace. It is necessary to have an.investigation as to whether any im properattempt has been made by persons be longing to this court to influence witnesses in their testimony. It is an impeachment direct ly of the Judge• Advocate of the court, and an impeachment direct of the government in whose name this prosecution proceeds. For my part I think-the motion of the Judge Advo cate eminently proper. the After cou court rear Bragg , eiti conversation by that,id m e h a ir M o r t: Baker made the.

I retract any inference that the dud ge.Advocate didany such thing, Major General Wallace. Or anybody else Mr. Baker. Why, surely I cannot take my words back. Judge Advocate. I Lope you will sustain ti]em by proof. Mr. Baker. I make no charges. Judge Advocate Cllipluan, Certain journals adverse to the Government have gatheredtup just such charges against it and the court, and unless the officers demand some proof of the truth of the charges which have been made here so flippantly, the Judge Advocate must rest under the imputation. Unless the counsel. should retract altogether, the court should demand the proof. Mr. Baker.' If the gentlemen can find the charge,' let them do so. Judge Advocate Chipman.

You must have matured it. Mr. Baker. By -reading my remarks it can be seen how careful I was. - bleier General Wallace. You cannot, then, -give us the name Of a single witness? Mr. Baker. - I 'know none of my own witnesses excepting two or three. . Judge Advocate Chipman. Suohremarks did not come from any soldiers who had been at Andersonville. Mr. Baker repeated that the exceptionable remarks had been made by a *ono° who eg, , ught, him byllie arm. lie meant no disre ,epect by the refietition, but merely mentioned them in illustration. ' Major General Geary. There are but 'two classes of witnesses. To which did they be long? Mr. !Ilaker. I don't know; I did not ask whether they were witnesses no not. ' Several other members of the court took part in the conversation. Major General Wallace. I suggest that the court give until to-morrow morning to enable the' counsel to furnish the name of the wit ness. Mr. Baker. If I can think of the name of the witness I will. Major General Wallace. If such language is used it is proper you should call our attention to it. •Dir. Baker. HI can I will furnish the name. Major General Wilson was then called to the stand. He testified that he,was a captain of en gineers and a major general of volunteers ; lie had , been operating in Alabama and Geor gia with a cavalry corps, in the military diVi- Sion of the Mississippi; he WAS now stationed at Macon; the rebels during the war drew supplies from Central Alabama and Georgia, which could have been sent in suffident sup - . plies to Andersonville; there were ample means of affording comforts at the prison, which he examined on the Ist of July ; he saw the remnants of only ten sheds ; the barracks for the troops were fair ; shelters could easily have been erected for our prisoners, as there was plenty of timber in the neighborhood ;just such a place as troops Would like to encamp for wood. and water, if they wanted to winter ; it would not have been necessary to transport timber more than a mile ; there was plenty of black labor in that country ; the difficulty was in getting rid of the negroes ; thirty men a day would have out wood enough for fifteen thou sand men; in winter the allowance of wood in our army is just double what it is in summer, and therefore sixty men in one day could have cut enough for fifteen thousand Men ; on his arrival at Macon his first inquiry was as to the condition of the Andersonville prison, and who was responsible for it; he sent two officers there, Lieutenant Vander book and Captain (now major) Noyes; on their return they reported that the man Wirz was still there ; he immediately ordered Major Noyes to return and arrest Captain Wirz, which he did, and brought him to Macon, where he was kept several days ; when Wirz was brought before him he remanded him to pri son, and requested that he be brought to trial; no protection was ever granted to Capt. Wits through General Wilson, who ordered his ar rest for the purpose of brinring lum to trial, and excepted him from the benefit of the ca pitulation of Johnston to Sherman. The witness gave a particular description. of the grounds at the Andersonville stating that the men had burrowed in the ground for shelter, particularl on the hill side. These holes wore about the size of the ordinary shelter tents, holding two or four men. On the cross-examination he said he stepped down into several of the excavations; lie saw no tunnelling under the stockade; he wrote a letter simply saying the man Wits had been arrested, and that he believed him guilty of the infliction of punishment on the prisoners at Andersonville, and that the miscreant should be brought to justice, in order that the whole matter might be investigated; he wish ed the court to understand that he had great latitude as to power; he was there to do as he pleased, and as the interests of the Govern ment required; there were two hundred and fifty Union prisoners at Andersonville when he reached there; they were nothing but shadows, Ala could not he moved without endangering their lives ; many died after they were brought into his lines. By Major General Geary. Did you offer any eafe'conduct for'Captain Wirs'S 'return'? Answer. No ; except to protect him until I de livered him into such hands as the Secretary of War might direct; my officers said they had risked their own lives to protect him, and but for Major Noyes the ,post guards at Chatta nooga would have killed him. - Willis Van Buren was cross-examined, and said he saw clothing sent by the Sanitary Com iiiissionOn rebel soldiers. George Welling testified as to the resources of the country in and around Andersonville. • Patrick Bradley related what he had seen at Andersonville in the matter of cruelty. John H. Fisher (negro) and Henry C. Lull also testified regarding events in the same locality. The court then adjourned until to-morrow morning. FORTRESS MONROE. Steamboat conioloo on the James River —Jeff.

RECONSTRUCTION. Hon. Thoddens SterenN on the Great Topic of ilia Irootr4 . AN AMMESS DELIVERED To , THE' CITIZENS OF LANCASTER, sEFT: 6,1865 e 1eF.1,1.011r4; ITIZ In compliance With your request, I have come to give my vivers of the present condition of the rebel States—ed the proper mode of reorganizing the Govern ment, and the future prospects of the Ifepnb- DC. During the whole progress of'the - war, never for a moment felt doubt or despOild. eney. I knew that the loyal North would con quer the rebel despOts who sought foliose - Y6y freedom. But since that traitorous confedee ration has been subdued, and we Have en- - tered upon the work of "reconstrue - Pion" or "restoration," > cannot deny that my hetet has become sad at the gloomy prospeetS 'be fore us. Four years of Woody and expensive wee wagee against the united States by el.v - hu. etates, under a government Called the " Cons federate States of America," to which they acknowledged alleMance, have overthrown all governments within those States whiter' could be acknowledged as legitimate by the Union. The armies of the Confederate Staters' having been conquered' and subdued, and thoil , ' territory possessed by , the United States, it becomes - necessary to establish governments therein which shall be republican in form and prinziples s and form. a 'more perfect Union" with the parent government. It is desirable that snob a course should! be pursued as to es elude from those governments over vestige of human bondage, and render the same for ever impossible in this nation; and to take care thatno principles of self-destruction shall ' be incorinnated. therein. In. effecting: this, it is to be hoped that no provision of the Con stitution' will iufringed, and no principle of the law of nations disregfieded. Espetially must we take care that in rebuking tele un just and treasonable war, the. authorities of the Unimrshallindulge in •nsencts of usiorpa lion which may tend to impair the stability and permanency of the nation, Within these lieuitations, we hold - it to- be the duty oe Ille Government to inflict condign punishment on the rebel belligerents; and so weaken their hands that they can never again endanger the Union ; and so reform their municipal limit. tutions as to make them- republican in. spirit as welleie name; We especially intern that the peoperty of the chief rebels should be seizedand appropriated to the payment of the national debt, caused by the unjust and wicked war which , they en stigeted. Bow can such punishments be indicted and such forfeitures produced without doinoyso_ lenee to established-prineiplea ? Two positions have been suggested: . First. Twotreat those States as never having been out of the • Union. because the Constitu tion forbids secession,. and, therefore; a duet forbidden bylaw could not exist. Second. To accept the position in which. they placed theinselves as severed from the.-Union an independent government ele facto ' and ar alien enemy to be dealtwith according to the laws of war. It seems tome that while we Cionot averthat the United States are bound to treat themem an alien enemy; yet they haVe a right to Meet so to do if it be for. tile - interest of the nation s ,. and that the Confederate States are esteemed! teem denying.that position. South Carolina,. the leader and embodiment of the rebellion, in the month of January, 1801, passed the fol lowing resolution by the unanimous vote of her Legislature • Resolved, That the• Separation of South Carolina from the Federal Union is final, and she has no far ther interest In the Constitution of the United States and that the oniv.appfopriate negotiations between her and the Federal governmentare as to their mu tual relations asforeta% States. The eonventionthat formed the Government Melte Confederate States, and all the eleven States that composed it, adopted the Mlle de claration, andpledged their lives and fortunes to support it, That Government isaised large armies, and by its formidable power compelled the nations of the civilized world, as well as our own Government, to acknowledge them. as an independent belligerent, entitled by the law of nations to be eonsidered as engaged in a public war, andnotmerely in an insurrections It is idle to deny that we treated them as a belligerent, entitled to all the rights, and sub ject to all theliabilities, of an alien enemy. We blockaded their ports, which is an undoubted belligerent right; ehe.extent of coast blockaded marked the acteriowiedge(l eeteat of their ter. ritory—a territory criminally acquired, but de facto theirs. We acknowledged their sea-rovers as pre vateeers, and not aspirates, by ordering their captive crews tObetreated as prisoners of war. We acknowledged that a commission from the Confederate Government was sufficient to screen Semmes and his associates from the fate of lawless buceaneers. Who but an ac knowledged government de Jure or de facto could have power to issue such a commission ? The invaders of the loyal states were not treated as outlaws, but as soldiers of war, be cause they were commanded by officers holds in g commissions from that Government. The Confederate States were for four years what they claimed to be—an alien enemy, in all their rights and liabilities. To say they were States under the protection of that ponstitu tion wince they were rending, and within the Union which they were assaulting with bloody defeats, simply because they became belli gerents through crime, is making theory over rule fact to an absurd' degree. It will United sup pose, at least be conceded that the - States, if not obliged BO to do, have a right to treat them as nn alien enemy now con quered, and subject to all the liabilities of a vanquished foe. If we are also at liberty to treat them as never having been out of the Union and that their declarations and acts were all void, be cause they contravened the Constitution, and therefore they were never engaged in a public war, but were merely insurgentslet us inquire which position is beet for the United States. If they have never been otherwise than States in the Union, and we desire to try certain of the leaders for treason, the Constitution re quires that they should be indicted and tried "by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall harebeen co»iinefed, which district shalt have been preciously ascertained by law." The crime of treason can be committed only where the ]person is actually or potentially present. Jefferson Davis sitting in Richmond, counselling, or advising:, or commanding . an ' inroad into Pennsylvania, has committed no overt act in this State, and can be tried, if any Where, only in the Richmond district. The doctrine of constructive preeenee, and. con structive treason. will never, I hope, pollute our statutes or judicial decisions. Select an impartial jury from Virginia, and it is obvious that no conviction could ever lee had. Possibly a jury might be packed to convict, but that would not be an jury. It would be judicial murder, and would rank in infamy with the trial of Lord RusSell; except only that the one was the murder of an innocent man, the other of a traitor. The same difficul ties would exist in attempting forfeitures, which can, only follow conviction in States protected by the Constitution ; and then it is said only for the life of the malefaetor—COn gross can pass no " bill of attainder," leer, under that theory, has Coress, much . less the Executive e any power to interfere in remodelling those States upon reconstruction. What reconstruction is needed? Here are States whish they say have never been out of the Velem, and which are COnSequently now in it Without asking leave of any one. They are competent to send Senators and members to Congress. The state of war has broken no con stitutional ligaments, for it was only an insur rection of individuals, not a public war :waged by States. Such is the reasoning, notwithstand ing every State actreliit its municipal capacity; and the court in theenize cases (2 Black; (178) say : "Hence in organizingithis rebellion they have acted as States." It is no loose unorganized rebellion having no defined boundary or pos session. It has a boundary, marked by lines Of bayonets, and which can De crossed only by e force—south of this line is enemy's territory, because it is claimed and held in possession by an organized, hostile, and belligerent power." 'What right has any one to direct a convention to be held in a sovereign State of this Union, to amend its constitution and pre eeribe the imalideatiees of voters? The sove reign power of the nation is lodged in Con gress. Yet where is the warrant in the Con stitution of such sovereign power, much less the Executive, to intermeddle with the do mestic institutions of a State, mould its laws, and regulate the elective franchise? It would be twin, dangerous, end deploy/Me usurpa tion. In reconstruction, therefore, no reform can be effected in the Southern States if they have never left the Union, - But reformation Must be effected; the foundation of their iastis tutions, both political, municipal, and social, roust be broken up and retaid, or all our blood and treasure have been spent in vain, This can only be done by treating and holding them as a conquered people. Then all things which we can desire to do follow with logical and le gitimate authority. As conquered territory, con cress would Bove full power to legislate for ihem; for the Territories are not under the Constitution except so far as the express power to govern them is given to Congress. They would be held in a territorial condition until they are fit to form State constitutions, republican in fact, not in form only, and ask draissiOn into - the Union as new States. If Congress approve of their constitutione, and think they have done works meet for repentance, they would be admitted as new States. If their constitutions are not ap proved of, they would be sent back, un til they have become wise enough BO to purge their old laws as to eradicate every despotic and revolutionary principle—until they shall have learned to venerate the De claration of Independence. Ido not touch on the question of negro sufirage. If in the Union, the States have long ago regulated that, and for the Central Government to in terfere with it would be mischievous fattier-. tinence. If they are - to be admitted as new States they must form their own constitution; and no enabling act could dictate its terms. Congress could prescribe the qualifications of voters while a territory, or when proceeding to calla convention to form a State Govern ment. That is the extent of the power of Con gress over the elective franchise, whether in a territorial or State condition. The Presi dent has not even this or any other power to meddle in the subject, except by advice to Congress—and they on territories, Congress, to be sure, has some sort of compulsory power by refusing the States admission until they shall have complied with its wishes over this subject. Whether those who have fought our battles should all be allowed to vote, or only those of a paler hue, I leave to be discussed in the future when Congress can take legitbnete cognizance of it. if capital punishments of the most guilty are deemed essential as examples, we have seen that, on one theory, none of them can be convicted On fair trials—the complicity of the triers would defeat it ; but as a conquered enemy they could not escape. Their trials would take place by courts-martial. Ido not think they could dhus be tried for treason ; but they could .be tried as belligerents, who' had forfeited their lives, according to the laws of war, By Strict rights 'of war, as anciently practiced, the - Victor held the Ilene, the liberty, and the property of the vanquished at his disposal. The taking of the life, or reduction to bondage of the captives, have long ceased to be practiced in ease of ordinary wars ; but the abstract right—the minimum jus-eis still recognized in exceptional cases, where the cause of the - war or the character of the bel ligerent or the safety of the victors justify its exercise. The same thing may be said of the seizure of property on land. Halleck (457) says some modern writers—Hautefeuille, for example—contends for the ancient rule, that Private property on land may be subject to seizure. They are undoubtedly correct, with -regard to, the general abstract right, as de duced from the law of nature and ancient la i s te s t u i l c idue l d 'a a tt t i one s na " tron h , e iVitit e i f i c t l ft e e'2l; may, in the Bret egace, do himself justice re specting the object which has given rise to the war, and, indemnify himself for the expenses and cieniages wltloi 40 Dos 4u§tnixtedpy it".

In short, all -writers agree that the victor may India puniahment upon the Vanquished enmity, even to the taking of hielife, liberty, di' the confiscation of all his 'property ; but that this extreme right is never. exercised except upon a• cruel, burbarone, 'obstinate, or dan gerous foe who ha% waged areuririet war. Upon the ellareeler of tie - belligerent, and the justleam the war, and the Manner of Me ducting ite r depends our right to take the loves, liberty. and property of the belligerent. This war had its. origin in treason without one spark ofjuethe.

The purpose and-avowed' object of the enemy "to found , an empire whose corner-atone Should beelavery," renders its peOpetuity or revival dangerous to human liberty. Surely, these things are sufficient - to j ustilly the exercise of the extreme rights. of war— "to execute, to imprison, to confiscateak How many captive enemies it would be. proper to execute, ae an example to nations,. 1 leave others- to judge. lam not fond of Balm guinary puniehments,buteurely aomeVietime must propitiate the manes Of Our starved, Mat , dered, slaughtered martyrs. A court-niartiat could do justice according to law. But we propose toeonflecate all the estate-of' every .rebel belligerent whose estate Was , worth eio,ooo,- Or whose land exceeded twee hundred acres in quantity. Policy if netjile tice would-require that the poor, the ignorant, and the coerced should be forgiven. Theyy fola lowed the example and teachings of their - wealthy and intelligent neighbors. The rebel liell Wollid never have originated with them, Fortunately those WWI would thus escape, form a turtle majoril of the people, though' Rossessing but a sma portion of the wealth. The proportion of those exempt compared with the punished would be, I believe, about nine-tenths. There are about six millions of freemen in the South, The number of scree of land is, 465,000,000. Of this thoillewhO own above tree hundred acres each, number about 70,000 per sons, holding in the aggregate (together with the States) about 394,000,000 acres, leaving for all the others below- 20e each, about 71,000,000 . 0 f acres. By thus forfeiting the estates of the leading rebels, the Government would have 304,000,4100 of acres, beside their town property, and yet nine-tentbs of the people would re main untouched. Divide this land into conve nient Mims. Give, if you please, forty acres to each adult male freedman. Suppose there are one million of them. That would require 40,000,000 of acres, which deducted from 394,000,- 00n leaves 354,000,000 of acres for sale. Divide it into suitable farms and sell it to the highest bidders. 1 think it including town property, would average at 'least ten dollars per acre. That would produce 03,540,000,000—three bil lions five hundred and forty millions of dol. Let that be applied as folloWA, to wit 1. Invest 0100,000,000 in six-per-cent.

Others horribly mutilated in every form, And yet numerous others wearing the weeds which mark the death of those on whom they leaned for support. Contemplate these monu ments of rebel perfidy, and of patriotic suffer ing, and then say if too much it asked for our valiant soldiers. Look again, and see loyal men reddeed to poverty by the confiscations by the Confede rate States, and by the rebel States; see Union men robbed of their property, and their dwellings laid in ashes by rebel raiders, and say if too much is asked for them. But above all, let us inquire whether imperative duty to the present generation and to posterity does not command ns to compel the wicked enemy to pay the expenses of this unjust war. In ordinary transaction, he who raises a false clamor, and prosecutes an unfounded suit, is adjudged to pay the costs on his defeat. We have seen that, by the law of nations, the vanquished, in an unjust war, must pay the expense. Our war debt is estimated at from three to four billions of dollars. In my judgment, when all is funded and thepeneiOne capitalized, it will reach more than four billions. The interest at six per cent., only (now much more) 0240,000A00 Tile ordinary expenses of our. Govern ment are 120,0110, 000 For some years the extraordinary ex pense's of our army and navy wilt be.., /10,000,000 Four hundred and seventy millions to be raised by taxation ! Our present heavy taxes will not, in ordinary years, produce but little more than half that sum. Can our people bear double their present taxation? He who unnecessarily causes it will be met:timed from grneration to generation. , It is fashionable to belittle our public debt, lest the people should become alarmed, and political parties should buffer. I have never found it wise to deceive the people. They can always be trusted with the truth. Capitalists will not be effected, for they cannot be deceived. Confide in the peo. pie, and you will avoid repudiation. Deceive them, and lead them into false measures, and you may produce it., We pity the poor Englishmen whose na tional debt and burdensome taxation we have heard deplored from our childhood. The debt of Great Britain Is just about as Much as! ours, (4,000,000,00 0 ,) four billions. But in effect it is but half as large—it bears but three-per-cent. interest. The current year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer tells us, the interest was el31,!300,10le, Ours, when all shall be funded, will be nearly double,. The plan we have proposed would pay at least three fourths of our debt. The balance could be managed with our preseut taxation. And yet to think that even that is to be per petual is sickening. If it is to be doubled, as it must be, if " restoratien " instead of " re construction" is to prevail, would to God the authors of it could see themselves as an exe crating public and posterity will see them. Our new Doctors of National Law, who hold that the " Confederate States" were never out of the Union, but only insurgents and traitors, have became wiser then Grotius and Patna dorff and Rutherford and Vattei, and all race dem publicists down to Halleek and Philli more. They all agree that such a state of things as has existed here for four years is public war and constitutes the parties inde pendeMbelligerents,eubjeet to the same rules of war as the feeeign nations engaged in open warfare. The learned and able Professor of Law in the Cambridge University, Theophilus Par sons, lately said in a public speech: "As we are victorious in war we have a right to impose upon the defeated :party any terms necessary for our security. This right is Per fect. It is not only in itself obvious, but it is asserted in every book on this subject and is illustrated by all the wars of history. 'The re bels forced a war upon us ; it was a long and Costly and Moody war ; and now that we have conquered them, we have all the rights which victory confers." The only argument of the restorationist is, that the States could not and did not go out of the Union because the Constitution forbids it. By the same reasoning you could prove that no crime aver existed. .1i) _man over com mitted murder, for the law forbid* it l He is a shallow reasoner who could make theory over rule fact ! I prefer to believe the ancient and modern publicists, and the learned professors of legal selence t to the extempOriZed doctrines of mo dern Smolists. If " restoration," as it is now properly chris tened, is to prevail over "reconstruction," will some learned pundit of that school inform me in what condition slavery and the slave laws are ? I assert that upon that theory not a slave bee been liberated ; not a slave lawhas been abrogated ; but on the "restoration" the whole slave code ,is in legal force. Slavery was protected by our Constitution in every State in the Union where it existed. While they remained under that protection no power in the Federal GOVerileient could abolish slavery. If, howeveri the Confedeeete States were admitted. to be what they claimed, an independent' belligerent de facto, then the war broke all treaties, compects, and ties be tween the parties, and slavery was left to its rights under the law of nations. These rights were none, for that law declares that, "Kan Call hold no property in man." (Phillimore, page 310.) Then the laws of war enabled us to declare every bondman free, so long as we hold them in military possession. And the conqueror, through Congress, may declare them forever emancipated, But if the States are "States in the Union,e then when war ceases they resume their positions with all their privileges untouched. There can be no "mutilated" restoration. That would be the work of Congress alone, and would be " re construction." While I hear it said eveeywhere that slavery is dead, I 'cannot learn who killed - it. No thoughtful man has pretended that 'Lincoln's proclamation, so noble in sentiment, liberated a single slave. It expressly excluded front its operation ell those within our lines. No slave within any part of the rebel States in our Pos session, or in Tennessee, but only those beyond our limits andbeyond our power ere declared free. So Gen. Smith conquered Canada by a proclamation! The President does not pre tend to abrogate the slave laws of any of the States. "Restoration," therefore, will leave the "Union es it was"--a hideollS idea. xam aware that a very able and patriotic gentletnau and learned historian, air. Bancroft, hes attenipt ed to place their freedom on different grounds. He says, what is uudoubtedly true, that the proclamation of freedom did not free a slave. But he liberates them on feudal principles. Under the feudal system, When a king conquered his enmity, he par. . celed out his lands and conquered subjects among his chief retainers ; the lands and serfs were - held on condition of fealty and render ing military service when required. If the sueordinate chief rebelled, he broke the con dition on whieh he held them, and the lands and serfs became forfeited to the teed tiara. mount. But it did not free the serfs. They, with the manors, were bestowed on other fa-; vorites. But the analogy fails in anotlter im port cnt respect. The American slaveholder does not held, by virtue of any grant from any lend paramount—leeet 11,11 1 12 y a grant fr9o3. THE WAR PMIISS. (PUBLISHED WEEKLY.)

If the South is ever, to be made a safe repub let her lands- be cultivated by the toll of the owners, or tilefree labor of intelligent citi zens. This must he done.though it drive her nobility into exile. If they go, all the better, It will be hard to persuade the owner of ten thousand acres of land, who drives a coach and Sour, that he is not degraded by sittingat the same table, or in the same pew, with the ens browned and hard-handed farmer who has hitneelf eiiitivated his OWnthrivingheMeatead of one hundred and fifty acres. This subdirri sion of the lands will yield ten bales of cotton to owe that is made now, and he who produced it will own it and feel lantself a man. It is far easier and more beneficial to exile seventy thousand proud, bloated and. defiant rebels than to expatriate four millions of la borers, native to the Soil and loyal to the Go. vermnent. This latter scheme was a favorite plan of the Blairs, with which they - had for awhile inoculated our late sainted President; but a single experiment made him discard it and its advisers, Since I have mentioned the Blairs, I may say a word more of these per sistent apologists of the South; for, When the virus of slavery has once entered the-veins of the slaveholders, no subsequent effort seems capable of wholly eradicating it. They are a family of considerable power, some merit, of admirable audacity, and execrable selfishness. With impethelle alacrity they seize the White House and hold pOssessibli Of it, as in the late administration, until shaken off by the over powering force of public indignation. Their pernicious counsel had well nigh defeated the re-election of Abraham Lincoln; and if it should prevail with the present Administra tion, pore and patriotie as President JOllll6Oll is admitted to be, it will relider him the most unpopular Executive, save one that. ever occupied the Presidential chair, glut there is no fear of that.

This doctrine of restoration shocks me. We have a duty to perform which our,fathers were incapable of which. will be required at out hands by Goa and our country. When our ancestors found a "more perfect Upton" necessary, they found it impossible to agree upon a Constitution without tolerating, nay guaranteeing slavery. They were obliged to acquiesce ~trusting to time to work a speedy cure, in which they were disappointed. They bad some eteuse, some justiiiCatiOn. But we can have - none if we do not thoroughly eradi cate slavery and render it forever impossible in this republic. The slave power made war upon the nation. They .declared the "more perfect 'Union dissolved—Bohn - linty declared themselYee a foreign nation ) alien to this re public; for four years were in fact what they claimed to be. We accepted the war which they tendered, and treated them as a govern ment capable of making war. We have, con quered them, and as a conquered enemy we can give them laws ; can abolish all their mu nicipal institutions and form new Ones, If we do not make those institutions fit to last through generations of freemen, a heavy curse will be on us. Our glorious, but tainted, re public h as been born to new life through bloody, agonizing pains. But this frightful " restore,• tfon" haS thrown It into "cold Obstruction, and to death." If the rebel States nave neVer been out of the Union, any attempt to reform; their State institutions, either by Congress or the • President, is rank usurpation, Is then all losti Is this great conquest,to be in vain? That will depend upon the virtue and intelligence of the next Congress. To Congress alone belongs the powei• of rpeen struction—of giving law to the vanquished. This is expressly decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Corr case, 7th Howard, 42. The court say: Under this article of the Constitution (the 4th) it rests with Ven, gross to decide what government is the established Me in a state, 101 WS Witted States guarantees to each a republinan form of government," et cetera. But we know now difficult it is for a majority of Congress to overcome preconceived opinions, Besides, before Congress meets, things will be so in oigurated,....precipitated—it will be still more difficult. to correct, If a majors ity, of Congress can be found wise and Jinn enough to declare the Confederate States a conquered enemy, reconstruction wilt be easy and legitimate • and the friends Of freedom will long rule in the mem, oils of the natien.
