Dear Bowman Il am just arrived. Al my

arriving at the settlements }ourd lave made
quite stir among the people At home. and that
tie most sinister motives have been ascribed to

official action in al public matters, and al! of
them nave been carefully suppressed, whilst the
most ridiculous nonsense has been industTiously
spread abroad through al the newspapers.
Well you know what importance attach 10
such matters, and that have been too long
lighting with real Rebels with mGske.o in their
hands to be scared by mere non-c0mbatan.s, no
matter how high their civil rank or station.

recall the act, but Shakespeare records how
"Falstaff," the prince of towards and wits, II

dead Percy" and carried the carcass aIoft in
triumph to prove his vac-. So now when the
Rebellion in our land is dead, many "Fal5:atfs"
appear 10 brandsh the evidence Of their YaloF
and seek to win applause, and to appropriate
honors for deeds that never were dcae.
As to myself, l ask no popularity, no reward

de; and if it does not exist now substantially,
it is for state reasons beyond my comprehension.
!. may be thought strange that one who has
no fame but as 4 soldier should have been so
careful to try to restore the civil power of the
Government and the peaceful Jurisdiction cf the
Federal courts; hut it is difficult 10 discover in
that fact any just cause OF oGense to an enlight-
ened and free people. But when men choose
to SANDER and injure others, they can easily in
vent the facts for the purpose, when the propo-
sed victim is far away, engaged in public SER
vice Of their own bidding. But there is uonso-
.ation in knowing that although truth lies in the
bottom of well, the Yankees have perseve-
verance enough TO get to that bottom.

President Johnson On Negro Suffrage.

President johnson gave yesterday proof of
the sincerity and circumspectnesS with which,
in his frequent addresses during the first few
days after his accession, he declared that his
past record was the key to his future course.
In reply to O delegation who called on him, yes
terday, the President said that the question of
negro suffrage ought to be left to the decision
OF the loyal white population of the States in
terested. This is cOnsonant both with his rec
ora as State rights Democrat and his action
as Military Governor of Tennessee. The new
Constitution of Tennessee, formed under his
auspices, and in the adoption of which ne had
the rights of citizen Of the State, excludes
negroes not only from voting but from tes-
tifying in courts of Justice Out Of Tennessee,
and as President of the United States, he can
speak only in the character Of Federal officer;
and as Federal officer, bound by the Consti-
tuition, he had no choice but to dispose Of the
general question of negro suffrage precisely as
his speech yesterday shows that he has decided
to do. 1t is a matter not within the jurisdic-
ton of tie Federal Government, and President
johnson RENTS it to the States
The only argument which seems even plausi.
bic in favor of the Federal Government trans
cending its authority and comforting the elective
franchise upon the negroes, is, that their votes
are needed as counterpoise to the disloyal pro-
cliyities Of the Southern whites. We deem it
fortunate that we have a loyal Southern man,
thoroughly acquainted with his section, for Pres
ident. He IS competent to judge what viii do
in Inc South, and what viii not. But his sound
Judgment end resolute patriotism are still bet
ter guarantee that the South will not be surren-
dered to disloyal rule. Negro suffrage is not
needed as counterpoise to white disloyalty, for
the entirely sufficient reason that disoyal whites
are to be allowed no access to the ballot-box.
If the loyal whites admit negroes to the suffrage
it will probably be for some other reason than
as check upon their OWL dangerous prec!ivi-

taken to select three persons, in each district,
to act as COMMITTEES of vigilance. Let active,
working men be chosen. Drones and do-noth-

names of persons composing such committees
should be returned to the Chairman of the
