ANOTHER WITNESS FROM THE SoUTH.
A Washington correspondents says
that General Grants most trusted
aid, C1onei Eli Parker, the Indian
chief, has just returned from u pro-
louged tour through the South, and
thus reports his experience there;
HE wearing his uniform, was
struck by the redundant professions
ofloyal submission which everywhere
greeted him. These were 80 frequent
as at last to excite his suspicious. He
clothed himself in citizens garb, and
thereafter passed as u member of the
Choctaw nation we'll known 10 the
South US a rich, welt educated, intense
~ pro-slavery tribe Of the Southwest.
This disguise Embossed tho latch
slrings Of their secret thoughts, and
thereafter he heard not one loyal
word except when in pursuance of
his duty he was with our W officers,
The most malignant dislcyalty, the
most viudiclive hatred, the f%iercest,
though suppressed determination bide
their time, yet wreck revenge was ev-
erywhere made visable to the man
whose color and stated relation made
them confident of sympathy.

A MAN on TAsrK.--Nr. Wilson, an
Abolition member Of Congress from
Iowa, declared in his speech in.that
body, the other day, that "the good
name OF the nation requires, that she
laws to be passed by this body, be &C
such character that no person can
tell from the reading of Chem, what
color is stamped upon the faces Of the
citizens of the United States" lfthc
Abolitionists could so arrange the
law, that the color of the negro could
be hid, we presume they would then
swear that everybody was white. Mr..
Wilson still farther eulogises the dar-
key: "there is not a drop of treason
able blood flows under black skin"
1t is certainly a pity, that Wilson
don't get black skin, so that he could
never be taken for traitor, for while
he continues to use white skin, he
might get into trouble. Ho should
have his skin conform to the color OF
his heart, and this he could do very
readily, by offering to "swap" with
some black buck.

nearly years study, delivered the
opinion that persons charged with
treason, cannot, according to the Con-
stitution, be tried by Military-Com-

could have furnished this public func.

ten minutes after he read it and that
every officer that assisted in trying q
civilian by Court Martial, is legally
more guilty of crime than the burglar
