REPORT OF CARL SEIZURE.
NEW York, December 23.-The Report Of
TN,.-l ct, ~ - 10
was published this morning. Il is quite
lengthy, filling sixteen closely printed col
umns Of the Tribune 49,
Gen. Schurz says at the time he went
South he found the people recovering from
the peculiar state of mind into which the
surrender had plunged.them. he says the
public mind was so despOndent that read
mission at some future time, under what.
ever condition it had been promised,
would have been hooked upon as favor.
The most uncom promising rebel prepared for
leaving the country. Tho masses remained
in a state of fearful expectancy. He says
he now finds four classes, whom he charae-
terizes as fOllows:- ~ -
lst,3 Thpse who, although having yielded
submission to the National Governments
only when obliged to do 50, have perception
of the invisible changes which have been
produced by the war, and honestly endsav-
ored to accommodate themselves to the new
order of things
! I'd, Those whose principle object is to
have the States, without delay, restored to
their position and influence in the Union,
and the people Of the States to the absolute
control Of their home concerns. They are
ready, in order to obtain that object, for any
ostensibie concession that will not prevent
them arranging things to suit their taste
Is soon as that object is obtained. r.- 81
Sd, Incorrigibles, who still indulge in the |
swagger which was so customary before and |
during the war, and still hope for a time |
when the so called Southern Confederacy !
will achieve its Independence. This class |
consists mostly Of young men, and comprises
the loiterers of the towns and idlers Of the |
country. ,,.--s r--5-.-t
.4th. The multitude of persons who have
no definite idea about the circumstancesun- |
der which they live and the course they |
ought TO follow, whose intellects are weak |
but whose prejedices and impulses are strong, |
and who are sptto be carried along by those |
who know how to appeal to the latter. All |
these classes, he says, are agreed that further |
resistance 70 the power Of the National Gov
ernmentiis useless. and submission TO its au- |
thority q matter Of necessity. All move |
ments in favor of separation from the Union |
have therefore been practically abandoned, |
andresistanee tOour military forces ceased. |
The General thinks this kind of loyalty is
produced by the irresistible pressure of
force, and-it is decidedly Of relative char
acter. -.I
He gives proofs by the letters of Federal
Generals and others of the outrages com
mitted by the late rebels and their hostile
attitude if the troops should be withdrawn.
He introduces testimony from officers Ofthe
