We hope Mr.. boutwell, will not place too
much reliance upon the above statements,
which we find printed in q Sunday paper.
We have information OF different character.
In one OF the principal cities OF Georgia, a
paper is published by colored men called the
Loyal Georgian. Its colored editors print
fearlessly whatever they feel moved to say
they condemn fearlessly individual outrages
upon colored men that come to their know!-
elge and yet their lives are as safe in Georgia
as anywhere else. That journal published
lately an order Of General TnIsoS, announ-
cling that the legislature Of Georgia has
granted negroes full standing in courts, and
all the rights which the civil rights act Sc
cures
One Of the editors Of the Loyal Georgian,
formerly chaplain Of colored regiment
from this District, informed us a few days
ago that the condition Of the freedmen in
Georgia, in reference to their rights, was
quite as satisfactory as any sane man could
have expected. They have civil rights as
sociation, which is thoroughly organized
throughout the State, and they received re.
spectful consideration from the Legislature.
He says ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS is regarded
as one Of their best friends, his advice to his
fellow-citizens being in favor OF taking good
care Of the colored race now that they are
emancipated and must henceforth form an
important part Of the free population.
The statement Of the gentleman who writes
to Mr.. boutwell, as above is grossly exag.
gerated, as must be apparent to the unbiased
reader. 1t would be indeed remarkable il
among the late rebels there should not be
found some "roughs" who abuse the late
slaves. 1t has always been charged upon
shareholders that they were naturally and
inevitably made passionate and brutal by the
