Editor Clarion Your correspondent
Occasional" has, no doubt unintention-
ally, done this distinguished gentleman
injusl zee by indirectly charging him with
repudiation proclivities. He further
more calls upon the Judge TO enIghten
the public upon this particular point.
Now, as one of the many admirers OF Mr..
Handy, and as one familiar with his
views on this and most other public ques-
tions, | beg to say, in his absence. That
there IS not the slightest foundation In
fact for the charge alleged. When on
the Bench, he is simply Judge of the
High Court of Errors and Appeals, sworn
In the most solemn manner to discharge
faithfully the duties of that high and re-
sponsible Office, and to decide this and all
other questions according to theslaw and
the facts in the case. The proposition,
therefore, your correspondent, is hardly
fair or pertinent.
Judge Handy simply comes before the
peopleeto fill an unexpired term 1t is
laudable and right that he should desire
a public endorsement of his official course.
He may or may not be candidate for
another full term. All he now asks Is,
not to be ousted before the time for

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

BY an order hearing date the 2Otl
inst, Col. Sam'l Thomas, assistant com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in
this State,proposes to transfer to the civil
authorities of the State, the right to try
all cases, in which the rights of freed
Men are involved, either for injuries
done to their persons or property. This
proposition is made, however, on cOndi-
tion That 'fhe judicial officers and Mag
Itrates Of the Provisional Government
Of the State viii take for their mode of
procedure the Laws now in force in this
State, except SO far as those laws make
distinction on account of color, and
allow negroes the same rights and privi-
leges Is are accorded to white men before
their courts "by which understand that
negroes shall be allowed to testify in
cases where their interest is involved.
And believing that the late constitutional
amendment which abolished slavery
abolishes all laws which constituted a
part of the policy of the system of
slavery, and in declaring that the negro
shall be protected in his person and prop
erty' establishes principles which, of
themselves, entities the negro to sue and
be sued, and as necessary incident to
such right, that he is made competent as
Rwitness, according to the laws of evil
dsncc of the State: Now, therefore, /,
William l.. Sharkev, Provisional Gov
ernor of Mississippi, with view of Sc
curing to our citizens the rights of trial
before their own officers, and under their
Swn laws, rather than by a military tri-
bunal and by military law, do hereby
proclaim, and make known that in ull
Wascs, civil or criminal, in which the
rights OF negroes are involved, either
tor injuries done TO their persons or prop
erty, or in matters OF contract. the testi-
mony et negroes may be received, sub
Ject TO the common rules of evidence. ss
regards competency and ndcredibiIity which
prevail in regard TO white persons. And
d" therefore accept the proposition Of

We have received from Washington
the following dispatch
The Mexican question was discussed at
the CabiEet meeting held on Tuesday,
and which was presided over by President
johnson. All the members present ex-
pressed themselves favorable to the StGtu
q,to except Mr.. Harlan, Secretary OF the
Interior, who desired that Juarez should

IVeIy scene took place between Mr..
Seward aLu I1r. Harlan, he premier tell
log Mr.. Harlan that he sacrificed the
true interests Ot the,country to the love
OF vain popularity, that II was not dlgnl,
fed Tor this government to aid Juarez
indirectly, ana that II WAS not adVanta-
geouS 10 support him openly. President
johnson iuliy agrees with the views OF
Secretary of State and declared that he
regretted the speech of Mr.. Harlan made
sometime snce IN public; and that men,
bers OF the Cabinet ought never TO forget
that their words are always construed as
having been inspired by the government.
he would lose no opportunity to dIsavoW
any such lnconsiderate speeches the same
as he had dlsavowed Sheridan's view by
reducing his army tWo-thirds.
Mr.. Johnson, when the meeting was
about breaking up, said he would not de-
termlne ul on fixed policy toward Mex
leo before tue meeting OF Congress, when
ne would discuss in his message whatever
might seem best for the country. 1t is
evident that the President is animated
with the same pacific feelings as Mr..
Seward and the majority of the Cabinet.

EDITOR CLARION Our mutual friend.
+. Smith, Esq. is a candidate for Congress
for This District. Without attempting to
detract from the merits of either of his
honorable opponents. | must say that he
is as well qualified for the position as
either OF them. and in addition, would
be more acceptable to cur friends at
Washington.
Smith, as you are aware was a Douglass
Democrat, and as such canvassed the
District with Singleton in the summer
and iall of 1859. He was also Douglass
elector and predicted many of the evils
which have scourged us, in the event of
Douglass defeat. We thought he was
rsry wrong at that time but we now
know that he was right. While, howev
er, he wss opposed to secession, when the
State took her stand he went with her
and did his whole duty.
Trusting that you can consistently give
him your support and the benefit of your
influence, am Yours truly,
