Z" Mr. Arp, supposed We should have n
war with England or Franc, what would
the rebels do r.
"rhry'd follow Gen. Lee and Gen John
son, and I.ongstrret, and Brgg and Bory.
| NV opinion is, that Gen, lpe would head
the Union army, aud Gen. Grant would be
his chief of staff, aud Gen. Buell. would
rank mighty high, and
"Wlat would they do 18th Day, the
Memphis photogmyGlist r.. ~

DO you think Mr., Arp, that if the
South should ever hold tbe balance Of power
they would demand pay ior their negroes r
cant say, sir But don't think the
South has lost anything that way. We got
their labor before the war for their victuas
aud clothes aud the doctors bill, and we
get it now for about the same. It'sall settled
down that way, and your bureau couldn't
help it, The only difference is the distri-
button Some Of us don't own as many as
we used to, but everybody has got negro
or two now, aud they II all vote EN- or turn
EN- off A niger that wouldn't vote as /
told him, shouldn't black my boots"
At this time the committed looked at one

Mr.. Boutwell, says he, a. Mr.. Chairman,
think, sir we are about through with the
witness. think, sir, his testimony settles
the question ms to what we ought to do with
| Southern traitors"
The chairman gave me 4 Republican nod,
and remarked, Yes, sir ! think we do.
The sconndrels burnt my iron works"
Wherrupon retired, having given
general satisfaction.
Yours, truly, Bill ARP.
