~The Hartford Press tells Of q dog In that
city who has lost his voice. When strangers
pass he rushes out. goes through the motions
with great yIgor. bristies up, jumps about and
wsgs his jaws. but not sound comes forth.
The question OF interest with some specta-

EP7We have been permitted to make
few extracts from a private letter from Wash
ing City. 1t was in reply to one which had
been written concerning the condition of af-
fairs in this State since the surrender of the
Confederate armies The writer has unusual
facilities for obtaining correct information
of the Presidents views and the condition
of affairs at the national capital, and we can
vouch for the accuracy of his statements:
"Your first answer is in reference to the
testimony of Ethe negro, the Legislature
allowing them to testify in cases where 9TH
er negroes or mulattoes were concerned, but
not against white person. Twill not dis
cuSs, at great length, this point; but will
simply say that your policy is, i'll my opinion,
bad. You will have many cases arise be-
tween the whites IN which negroes viii be
the most important witnesses and, perhaps,
the only ones. Now, it strikes me forcibly
if you do not allow them to testify, that
justice, or rather law, will not be able to be
carried out as it should he. would make
no distinction on account of color, but allow
all to testify. Your jurors could easily dis
criminate as to whether the negro was tell
ing the truth or not. l have owned slaves
whom 1 would believe under oath, no matter
what they wonld say; and we have negro
meu now in our employ that would believe
as soon as the ordinary run of white men,
You will and must admit that you have
seen, and that frequently, slares whom you
would believe. 1t is true that you will find
many who would tell a lie inst as soon as
they would tell the truth and if it is to
their interest to lie, they would do so. Now
do not think that the trait of lying was pc
culiaT to the negro, for l see white men
doing it daily and l knowIof many, whom,
although they occupy good Ipositions, 1
would not believe on oath. Your trouble
would be between white men and negroes
negro will, as a general thing, lie fol
another negro as they will not 60 against
their race and the same will hold good in
the case of the whites against the negro.
But would not your juries be able to dis.
criminate by the manner in which the ey-
idence was given, the character of the par
ties, to who was telling the truth 2 Again.
these cases would, as general thing, be
only petty cases and not of frequent occur
rence-and may also say, the more impor-
tant the case, the less chance would there
be to practice deception-for by cross
questioning, the man who lies will be found
out, let him be white or black. In Massa.
chnsetts, negro testimony has proved ben
eficial. At first, you will, perhaps, have a
little trouble, but it would not last long for
the first negro caught lying in court you
could punish and the negro would soon find
it to his interest to tell the truth. am glad

"a We copy below some portions of
letter from respectable citizen residing
near Lauderdale Springs, callingl atten-
ton to the condition of things existing
at that place. The robberies he com
plains of are all committed within cir
cult of two miles from the post. In an
other part Of his letter he instances Cuba
Station, where there are no guards, as a
place that is entirely free from such dis
orders. We have no doubt that our cor
respondent is correct in his suppositions,
but both our citizens and our civil au-
thorities are powerless in this matter.
All we can do is to put the complaints
on record and appeal to those who hold
the remedy in their hands to say how
long it is proposed that this abuse shall
be continued and encouraged. Our cor
respondent says:
On the night of January 18th there
were six houses broken open, and rob
berry committed. My corn. crib was
broken into, and ten or twelve bushels of
corn taken from it. Ipursued the trail
of my corn by the scattered grains and
small pieces of shuck, up to the house of
a freedman, where | found about the same
quantity of corn, as nearas | could Judge,
in his possession / had him arrested,
and proved by two white men, besides
myself, that the above statement was
true but here came the negro guard and
one white man, and swore positively that
he had been in possession of the corn
over a month. One of these black
wretches also swore that he was at the
freedman's house from un-down until
midnight, and, of course, swore the ac-
cused out of the case.
cannot hear of any depredations COM
mitted anywhere except where the ne
gro guards are stationed; and of course,
l believe, and so do all the citizens around
here, that if were not for this negro
guard here, there would not be one-tenth
of the thefts committed that have been.
Nearly every gentleman in the country
believes, furthermore, that this negro
guard are the cause of all our troubles,
and also encourage the freedmen in their
misconduct and frequently, take part in
it themselves.

to see that the Governor Is In favor of ad- !
mitting negro testimony. The President is
and his views are as have expressed them
cannot see why your people should not
better their condition by admitting ne
gro testimony; for fy admitting this tes-s
timony they would do away with a great
deal of trouble which, one day, sooner or
later, they will have to do away with
I will candidly admit the Freedmen's Bu-
raau is a nuisance, and will lead TO much
harm, injury and expense, both to the North
and the South, negro and white, if it is not
abolished So long as it is in operation the
negro has every inducement not to work,
to crafty his passions, and produce mischief;
for he knows that the government viii feed
him and clothe him and so long as this is
the case, he cares for nothing else, The Pre-
sident is doing all he can, and that va,y fast, to
abolish it, Vast reductions have already been
made, and greater one will soon be made
The thing can not be abolished at the stroke Of
pen. but must be done gradually. A great
many complaints have been made against its
officers, and with great justice. 1t seems to
me that they have lost their senses, Judging
am very certain that the President has made
no promises which he has not fulfilled; and
if you think he has, let me know them and
will explain them. The President did not
say that the troops would be withdrawn as
soon as the Governor was inaugurated; but
hot hay he n Of he
first practicable moment The troops were,
and still are, kept more to protect the whites
than the blacks, and to accustOm the people
to the new order of things, which are the
necessary results of the war. And, again,
the troops are kept for purpose foreign to
what most people think them kept. You see
that they are being relieved now very fast.
You seem to imagine that the President viii
be swayed by Congress. Let me tell you
that you could not be more mistaken. No
matter what Congress may do or think, he
lciH do arhat he thinks Is right; and as he was
never known to give way, it is now rather
late in the day for him to commence. He is
fighting Congress daily, and l am surprised
that you do not see it. Look at the Trades
upon TRADES that are made against him in
| Congress because he opposes the fanatics of
the Sumner, Wade and Stevens schools. If
it had not been for him you would have gone
to the devil long ago. He stands upon the
constitution, and he Will die sooner than
yield to what he believes is not right You
little imagine how hard he is working for
you, and he is gaining more friends daily
