Treatment of Freedmen in Texas.
The last Washington Star says

Inc laSC w dSuluSloH OUT says.
Communications have been received at
the Freedmen's Bureau from Austin, Texas,
calling attention to the wrongs and outrages
towards freedmen in the northeastern coun-
ties of Texas, stating they are now more OPP
pressed and brutally treated than in the days
of slavery. The lash is-more cruelty admin
istered than It ever was, and freedmen who
have cultivated land and raised crops, have
had all taken from them. Outrages, from
cold blooded murders down, have occurred,
and there is no one to whom they can appeal
for redress A member of the Grand Jury
of Red River county was heard to say, They
dare not indict these criminals known to
them as having been guilty; an old citizen
would not be permitted to live there day
were he known to take any steps to redress
these wrongs"
Also, communication from Austin, Tex
as, reporting the murder of two freedmen :;
one near Austin, and the other at "Homsby's
Bend" by white men. Another case is re-
ported at Prairie Lea where a freedman was
cruelty whipped for addressing a young man
as Tom instead of Master Thomas. Another
was shot for refusing to give his bottle of
whisky to two white men. The civil officers
will not take any steps to bring the offenders
to justice. Another was cruelty whipped
for having brought suit for wages against
a white man. In Pamela county there exists
a gang of five or six white men who live by
robbing freedmen. The people are afraid of
them, and the civil authorities are powerless
because witnesses are afraid to testify against
them. These cases are reported by men who
are known to be truthful and reliable"

public peace, or in11ame the people against
the government. This is all the loyal peo-
pie of the South ask. Pass Mr.. Stevens bill,
and they will take care of secessionists, lat
ter-day war men, and traitors of all kinds
They will not torture, or shoot, or hang
them, or malign and persecute them, as
they did the Unionists during the re-
bellion, but they will make them know
their places, and will see to it that they new
er obtain power again over this people, whom
they have ruined by their folly, selishness,
and wicked ambition

An eloquent prayer was offered on Tues
day, in the House of Delegates, by the Rev.
G. w. Langhorne, of the Methodist Church,
which was peculiarly appropriate to the &C.
casion. He spoke of the gloom which over
cast our political horizon, and prayed that
| Providence would smile away the surcharged
clouds, but, he continued, if the storm must
burst, let it break upon those who have so
madly invoked it, but let peace and sunshine
settle upon our heads. "-Richnaond Enquirer.
This reverend and pious gentleman would
like to have the storm burst at Washington
City and on the Northern States. He wants
more civil war. He no doubt insists that
his own section shall be allowed to do as it
pleases, and he prays that, doing as it pleases,
it may have sunshine all the while The
people were beguiled by just such prayers
during the rebellion.
Gov. Vance advances the same views when
he says the North will do US justice when
they shall have had the same experience we
have had.
The Petersburg Express wants the Presi-
dent to fight the Congress. It says:
1.-THE man who yields the Presidential
sceptre has vast, almost unlimited powers at
his command and in such crisis he would
stand justified to the country, and to posteri-
ty, even should he resort to extra constitu-
tional measures to sustain his Office. And
regarding the government now as practical
despotism-the despotism of many-we are
free to confess that we prefer the rule of one
man, call him by what name you will
whether President, Emperor or King-to the
many-headed monster aspiring to the seat of
absolute power"

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

Washington, D. c., August 10, 1865.
Governor W. L. SHARKEY, Jackson Hiss:
am gratifed to see that you have organ
lied your convention without difficulty. I
hope that without delay your convention
will amend your State constitution, abolish
ing slavery and denying to all future legisla-
lures the power to legislate that there is
property in man; also that they will adopt
the amendment to the Constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery If you
could extent the elective franchise to all
persons of color who can read the Constitu
ton of the United States in English and
write their Names and to all persons of color
who own real estate valued at not less than
two hundred and fifty dollars, and pay tax
es thereon, YOU would completely disarm the
adversary and set an example the other
States will follow This you can clio with
perfect safety, and you thus place the South
States, in reference to free persons of color,
upon the same basis with the free States 1
hope and trust your convention will do this,
and, as consequence, the radicals, who are
wild upon negro franchise, will be completely
foiled in their attempt to keep the southern
States from renewing their relations to the
Union by not accepting their senators and
representatives. ANDREW JOHNSON,
President Of the United States
