sy The Hcrald's Washington special says:
There is said to be growing trepidation on the
part of Winder, Duncan, and Gee, confederates
Old Capitul prison Windcr, realizing more fcl-
ly than his associates the full force of the danger
that hangs over them as partners and active par
ticipants in the crimes and peculations of Wirz
while conducting tho famous stockade, is espc-
cially nervous on tho subject, and betrays an ip,
patient desire to place his record before tSc au-
thorites, cleared of tho dpmaging implications
that were deducted from the testimony in oe trial
ant of tho prison to his cell, and endeavors to
obtain some idea of the popular feeling that is
entertained regarding his share and agency in the
atrocities of Andersonvillo. The vindication he
is preparing Tor himself, already covering some
forty pages of legal cap is.bcing added to daily.
MS- correspondent of the New York Com
mcrcial Advertiser, writing from Washington,
says: Though the members elect from the South
arc not placed on the Clerks initial roll of Rep
resentatives, It is regarded as fact that seats
will bc granted to ell whose respective States
hevo repudiatcd tho war debt and adopted the
anti-slavcry amendment if they can take the
test oath of 1862. The announcement is semi.
officially made to tho leading politicians of the
South that they may take notice thereof and gov
ern themselves accordingly. 1t will be questioned
whether the Presidents pardon does not overrulo
tho test oath, aud make the recipient,eligiblc to
official position.
Ey Governor Wells has organized four cav
airy regiments of militia for service in Northern
Louisiana, recently threatened with negro insur
rection. These regiments havo been placed under
command of two capable and experienced officers,
Coils. Scott and Grayson, prominent in the lato
war; wke are residents. of tho military districts
of which they hnsc charge. An order has also
been issued returning to their owners firearms
taken from them at the time of Federal oocupa-
ton, and for whici receipts were given by pro-
vost marshals. These timoly and judicious meas
ures Of the Government will, no doubt, result in
establishing gubordiIaton to authority md good
ordor generally in the section Of the Stats named.
