my Policy" In Georgia and

Elk Gov. Boutwell, of Mas sachusctts
furnishes for publication an extract
from IL letter lately received by him
from "A gentleman whom he describes
as OF unimpeachuble character and
Judgment, residing in Georgia. Read
and see how my policy works in
Georgia and Florida:
mo colored mans life is safe in
Georgia and Florida Murders OF
negroes by white men are of every
day occurrence, and the civil authors
ties say we have nothing to 10
with it, and these atrocities
go unwhipped Of justice de-
clare what know and testify of that

ltection to the negro in South Caro-
ma, Georgia, and Florida. Nobody
owns Il negro now, and he is shot
down by every drunken Rebel with as
much IMMUNITY rs they shoot crows or
blackbirds My word for it, the col
ored people of these States are the
only lovers of the Union. A year ago
the white rebels were as humble as
whipped spaniels, now they are elated,
insolent, defiant, and, III my judg
ment, 1t is owing to the policy OF MIR
Johnson, whom they consider their
friend, in contradistincton to the
Senate and House of Repre- sentatives.
The truth is, there is no Union senti-
ment, The policy of the National
Government discourages it, and the
military authorities, with the attaches
OF the Freedmen's Bureau, arc cover
ing before this policy

sum Of 81, ~, IA 81; If an equal amount could
be paid each month. in thirty six wears the

THE TEST OATH

1t was rumored IN the vicinity OF the Su.
preme Court Room this morning that there will
not be any decision on the copstitutionalit,, of
the ssiron- clad" test oath. This is a great dis.
appointment to several legal gentlemen from
the South, who are anxious to practice their
legitimate profession, but are excluded by their
inability to take this oath. They had hoped
that the oath would have been set aside, as it is
secret that five of the Court are opposed to it
But one of this five deems it impoltic to set the
oath aside just now, and consequently joins
the Chief Justice and the three Justices who
advocate the oath, in having the decision post
Doned.
