following letter:
ADJUTANT GENERALS ORFICE,l
Washington, June 16, 1865.
To Col. j. T. AvERILL, Chief M, Saint Paul,
Minnesota:
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your endorsement of the 29th ult.
on a communication from his Excellency,
Stephen Miller, Governor of Minnesota, re.
questing that you may be invested with dis
cretionary power to muster out all troops now
home on furiough belonging to Minnesota Or
ganizatiens.
In reply have the honor to inform you
that provision has already been made for the
muster out of all returned prisoners Of war,
all enlisted men home on furlough from Hos
pital and Parole Camps Except veteran men,
bers of the regular army and the v. r. CO.
and all others whose terms of service expire
previous to October LIST 1866.
Instructions for the muster out of all classes
of soldiers cannot be issued, and those home
on furlough not included in existing orders as
mentioned above, who have overstayed their
time should report promptly to the authori-
ties granting the furlough.

Servant.

freemen through executive and Legislative acts
during the war; and that these freemen are
now citizens and consequently entitled to the
rights of citizens. are propositions which, IN
my Judgment, cannot be successfully contso-
verted.
And it is both natural and right that colored
Americans, entitled to the rights of citizens,
should claim their exercise. They should per-
sist in this claim respectfully but firmly, TAX
ing care to bring no discredit upon it by their
own action. Its justice is already acknowl-
edged by great numbers of their white fellow
citizens and these numbers constantly In.
crease.
The peculiar conditions, however, under
which these rights arise, seem to impose on
those who assert them peculiar duties, or "a
ther special obligations to the discharge of
common duties. They should strive for dis
tinction by economy, by industry, by sobriety,
by patient perseverance in well doing, by con.
by the constant practice Of Christian virtues.
In this way they will surely overcome unjust
hostility and convince even the most preju-
diced that the denial to them of any right,
which citizens may properly exercise, Is equal.
ly unwise and wrong.
Our national experience has demonstrated
that public order reposes most securely on the
broad base of universal suffrage. It has
proved also that universal suffrage is the sure
guaranty and most powerful stimulus of indi.
vidual, social and political progress. May it
not prove, moreover, in that work of reorgan-
ization which now engages the thoughts Of all
patriotic men, the best reconciler of the most
comprehensive lenity with the most perfect
public security and the most speedy and GER
tain revival of general prosperity?
Very respectfully yours,
S:P. CHASE.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tins
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE following is
President Johnson's reply to the colored dele
CATION from Richmond, who called on him
with reference to alleged cruelties practiced on
them in that city. He said:
II have no speech to make to you, but will
simply talk to you about this thing. 1t is not
necessary for me to make speech indicating
either what my course has been or will be on
this subject If my acts heretofore would not
be sufficient indications of what my future will
be, my professions now would not be. Every
proper step will be taken to afford you what
ever protection can be given you; but while
you are in this transition state there will be q
great many things We would all prefer to have
been different, that must for the present be
submitted to as they are, till things can be
remedied. Whatever can be done so far as
am concerned, will be done cheerfuIy. am
glad to hear that Gov. Pierpont is pursuing
the right course, and it seems to me that, sus-
tanned by military authority, he can give the
protection required. I understand by this adj
dress, that the Provost Guard is believed by
you to have been instrumental in the hardships
you complain of. Have you presented these
surances to Gen. Halleck 2"
The delegation replied to this question as
follows:
1--WE never got to see Gen. Halleck. We
did complain to Gen. Patrick, but he told US
he was acting under orders and did not wish to
be told his business. He regards the matter
in that way"
The President said he would have Gen. How
ard fully investigate the affair.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON. June 10, 1866
Hon. G. Welles, Secretary of the Macy:
SIR: have the honor to transmit for vour
information correspondence between Sir Fred.
erick Bruce and this department upon the snb-
ject OF the withdrawal of the concession of
belligerent rights to the insurgents. In view
of this correspondence, l suggest that Won
communicate to the naval officers of the iIni-
ted States the results following therefrom-
namely:
1. Great Britain withdraws her concession
heretofore made, of belligerent Character
from the insurgents
2. The withdrawal Of the twenty-four hours
rule has not been made absolute by Great Brit
ain; and that, therefore, customary courtesies
are not to be paid by our vessels to those of the
British navy. The right of search of British
vessels is terminated Of course this has No
bearing upon the existing slave treaty. Anv
insurgent or piratical vessels found on the
high seas may be lawfully captured by vessels
of the United States. 'e''o''
