JOHN F. LEwIs-HIs TESTIMONY -
Mr.. John F. Lewis, of Rockinham, a Uu.
ion man lately defeated for Congress- was
summoned to give testimony before the Re-
construction Committee When ASKED, "If
the people in his part of the country were
loyal" he replied, Yes as loyatas the mem.
berS of the Reconstruction Comm,ittee. -
His interrogation then asked, "If it would
be safe for Northern man to travel through
his section 7" He replied, "Pertectly safe,
ussless there should happen to be a Yankee
soldier there, -,oho might knock him in the
head to rob him." This is just the kind of
testimony which those who know the cha
racter of Mr.. John F Lewis would expect
him to give. Many men, and We fear most
men, who had been defeated for Office as
Mr.. John F. Lewis has been, and whose
brother had also been defeated, as his had
been, would have been prejudiced to such
degree as to have had their testimony warp
ed, and would not have doue justice to the
uth.-Staunton Spectator.
