Favorable Reports from the South

The editor of the Ndshville Dispatch has
had the pleasure of meeting the Hon. Har-
vey M. Watterson, who has just returned
from a months tour In Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, in the capacity
of confidential agent of the Government.
The President desired correct information
in regard to the real condition and inten-
tions OF the people of these States, and it
was to gain this information he DISPATCHED
Mr.. Watterson to the States named. That
gentleman has spent month In mingling
with the people of those States, and he ex-
presses himself highly gratified with what
he has heard and seen. He found the people
everywhere doing whatever was in their
power to restore the States to their former
relations to the Government. They accept
the result of the war In good faith, and no.
where did he find spirit of discomfort or
desire to get out of the Union. How diff
ferent liberal, unprejudiced man sees men
and things from the man who carries his
prejudices to such an extent that he can
see nothing good in the Southern people,
Mr.. Watterson says that wherever he went
he found the people regarded slavery as
dead and the question forever settled. He
thinks the great body of the people are ra-
ther pleased that .'the peculiar institution"
has been crushed out, and they now look
forward for q higher prosperity than the
South has ever enjoyed. Their great con-
cern. next to the restoration of civil author
ity, is to procure the labor necessary to
cultivate theirlands. -Insome sections this
labor is being supplied by the freedmen,
but in others the negroes have not learned
what freedom means. Especially is this
the case in Louisiana; but Mr.. Watterson
attributes this to influence which has been
exerted by men who have sought to pro-
mote their own interests at the expense of
tile negroes. isi0iip 5t'Gi ~ i1 NG' NJ
AS an evidence of the peaceable disposi-
tion OF the people, General SteadmaD, the
commander of the District of Georgia, in
formed Mr.. w Wattersoh that as soon as the
civil Government should be restored in that
State, there would be no further use for the
military there And what is true of GeOrs
gia in this respect Is equally true of the
other States visited 113eru JnaoJ i7
/ Such reports as his personal observation
and inquiry have enabled MIR. Watterson to
make, will 20 far toward confirming the
good opinion the President has on more
than one occasion expressed OF the South
ern people. He now has the views of q
gentleman In whose judgment he has entire
confidence, and these views exactly coincide
with his own. Thepeople of the South can
be trusted with the powers which legitr
imately belong TO States in the fullest con-
fidence that they will not abuse this trust
This fact has been fully demonstrated 10
the work of restoration in Mississippi, Ala
bama, and Georgia. The people every
where in the South regard the President as
their friend, and they will cordially sustain
him in his great work of restoring the
Southern States to their place in the Union

Speech Of the President 20 uhe
North Carolina Delegation.

North Carolina DeieSattOn'
Among the telegraphic dispatches will
be found the speech Of President JOHNSON
made by him to delegation of North Car
olinians, within few days. North Caro-
lima has revoked Its ordinance of secession,
has incorporated into Its Constitution a
provision prohibiting the institution OF
Slavery and repudiating the war DEBT
Having done these things, the people of that
State thought their State was entitled to be
regarded as In the Union as the co-equal OF
every other State. The President gave the
committee to understand that their State
could not he considered in the Union
until she shall have done some other
things. One of these other things ne
tells them, is the ratification OF the
Congressional amendment aoolishihg the
institution of Slavery throughout the
United States. If, after they snail
have done this, their Representatives .will
be admitted into Congress we do not know.
The Constitution contains no clause which
regards State in the Union and yet out OF
the Union at the same time. Kentucky
has not yet ratified the Congressional
amendment abolishing slavery, nor has she
incorporated into her Constitution clause
prohibiting that institution. If it is not
competent to regard North Carolina in the
Union until she shall comply with such ad-
ditional acquisitions as the President or the
Radicals shall make upon her, wherein con-
sists the justice of ADMITTING the Represen-
tatives Of Kentucky to seats in Congress
until she shall first have ratified the Con-
gressional amendment abolishing slavery? ?
We simply PROFOUND this question to ex-
cite consideration.

statesmanship of the North and
~ South. .


South. ....
The suggestion of the Democratic party,
that efforts should be made to stay the eff
fusion of blood at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and have recourse to the arts OF
craftsmanship to preserve the Union and
establish an enduring peace, was secuted
as most unworthy and unpatriotic. 1t has
come to that point that craftsmanship Is re-
auired at last, and the Republicans and
Abolitionists, by their persistent demands
that BY hook or by crook the Southern Rep
resentatives shall be excluded from their
seats. in Congress, confess to be so far
deficient In craftsmanship as to be unable
10 cope with those members in statesman
ship. They admit that the best feeling pos
sible exists between the men who COM
posed the rank and file of the Confederate
aud Federal armies, and that so far as those
parties are concerned, the country need not
at any time in the future apprehend any
trouble whatever, and even should there
trouble arise, such is our numerical strength
that the Federal Government would en-
counter no serious difficulty in vindicating
its authority. A'5" .,- , ..''
Relatively, the South can present in Con-
gress no greater strength, and yet our peo-
pie are called upon to maintain a costly
system of Government to the end that the
men the adhering States shall send into
Congress may be protected against the intel
lect of the Southern members. The men
who appeal for this protection, say that the
Rebels have been defeated In the field; that
they confess 1t; but that they propose to re-
gain in the Congressional arena what they
have lost. Suppose they do intend TO
do this, numerically, they are far inferior
to the adhering States, just as they were on
the field of battle, and hence there can be
no danger that they could carry through
Congress any unjust measure, Even TO-
secure passage for the most just measure
for their section, they would have to appeal
10 the generosity of the members fromtbe
adheEing States. ... .,e',or ec..5 s5,r
1t Is unworthy our section, to openly
concede that in the matter of legislation
the Southern people are more than our
equals, and that, therefore, It Is alike un-
wise and unsafe to admit into the halls Of
Congress their Representatives, lest our
Representatives be seduced into their un-
doing. Bravely aud successfully, have
our people, as soldiers, met their people, as
soldiers; and It would be shame intoler-
able could we not match them in the halls
of Congress through our Representatives.
Let the trial be made, and if We shall find
that with our numerical superiority we
can not protect our interests and the inter
ests Of the people generally, against the
wiles, the intellect and the craftsmanship
of the Southern Representatives, we can
have recourse to such measures ss will
save us from such troublesome Representa-
tiyes; but until such trial shall be made,
we will not join in the advocacy of policy
which will make us stand before the world
the self-confessed interiors Of the South in
craftsmanship. ild 20 sstn,i. tiiV $50

FrnnIxIIn County.

In this mornings STATESMAN we publish
an official abstract OF the votes given In
Franklin county, and in the army from said
county, at the election held on the 10th OF
October, 1866. For Governor, it will be
seen that General MORGAN has majority
over General Cox, on the home and soldier
vote combined, of 1910. The vote given to
him was 6, 6,236-being the largest vote ever
given to a Democratic candidate for State
Office In franklin county. The combined
vote, at the Presidential election In 1850, for
DoueLAs, BELL and BREcKINRIDGE, was
sos; the vote for JEwErr, for Governor
In 1861, was 4,S2l for ARMSTRONG, for sec
retary Of State,in 1852 was $3.50; for VAL
LANpIGHAM, for Governor, In 1868 was
including the soldier vote, $40; for Nc
CIrLLAN, for President, In 1854, including
the soldier vote, was 5,7l9. i'r, raG
1t will, therefore, be seen that General
MoRaAS received 5l7 more votes than Gem
efai McCLELLAN received. General NC
CLELIAS had a. majority OF only 9OO,l
whereas General MORGAN received ma
iority Of I,94O The aggregate vote was
only 4 In excess Of the vote at the Presi-
dental election last year. The vote shows
that while the Democratic vote Is 5l7 great
or than at any former election, the, Repub-
lican or Abolition vote is 523 less than It
was forIlNcoLN last year, and $50 less than
It was for BRouGH at the election in 1863.
This official abstract likewise shows the
gratifying fact, that the Democracy Of
Franklin county not only got out their own
vote, but that they received from the ranks
OF the Opposition since last year an acces-
sion of five hundred or more. Herein con-
sists the crowning glory of the Democratic
triumph In franklin county.

A BLOODY RECORD. The case of Champ
Ferguson, the guerrilla, now on trial for MUIR
der, in Nashville, Tenn., before military
commission, presents the darkest and bloodiest
phase Of the our late civil war. The evidence
submitted to the court is but small portion OF
what has been adduced, and all of it is OF the
same character. The atrocity of his crimes
is without a parallel. He is charged with
numbering fifty four men, but, it is said, and,
doubtless, with truth, that he has slain more
than one hundred. It is his boast that he
slew that number. and not in war, but in cold
blood. He spared no one-neither the wounded
captive, nor the sick in their bed, all shared
the same fate-death. Ferguson says he was
an officer in the Confederate army, but he
can show no commission, and probably claims
SO to have been only to escape the fate he
richly merits. Champ will swing from the
galloWs.-N 7. NeUs.
