port says that in majority of the
counties of his District there are
very few white men who can take
the test oath, and these are not dis
posed to defy public opinion by ac-
cepting office unless supported by a a
military force afterwards. The will
of the colored people may be in ia
vor of supporting loyal otfice-hold-
ers, but their intelligence is not tnow
sufic ent to enable them to combine
for the execution of their will. All
their combinations are now conduc-
ted by white men, under tho pro-
lection of the military. lfthe pro-
lection be withdrawn, the white
men now controlling it would with
draw with it, and some Of the South
ern people, now exasperated at
what they deem the freedmen's
presumption, would not be very
gentle towards them, 50 that the
presence of y larger military force
will be required for some timc,tto
maintain the Fl cedmcu in the right
of suffrage. Hod- y a., 4,
