There isa freedman living in Columbus
Georgia, by the name of Aaron Hunt. As
slave he was universally respected in that
city for his good sense and good behavior.
lie has lately written letter for the Co
lumbus Enquirer, which we commend to
the thoughtful consideration Of our colored
citizens. He says:
We Of the South have to be one what
is the white mans interest must and will
be the colored mans. All have been born
on Southern soil-some masters and some
slaves. was born slave this was not
my masters fault. That some (white and
colored) are trying to make their former
slaves hate their former masters is plain
This l will not do. know those amongs,
whom / was raised ; / do not know those
that come to me and take me by the hand
at night, and give me advice in the dark
and when it is light do not notice me OF
the street. notice another thing. Those
white men who tell us we must vote The
Radical ticket and we shall have farm, dc
not have enough to build chicken coop
l think they want the negroes to do th'
voting, but they want the farms. ! wast
minister of the Gospel-belonged to thu
Baptist church-and think | have studied
the interests of my race since we have beer

better for the colored people to make friend
at home. AS to politics, do not know
much but from what little do know,

secrets, but talk out. This | like.

A sCoUNDREL EXPOSED.

The following letter appears in the Boise
City Statesman of March 10th, and the main
facts contained in it are corroborated by an
other letter of Mr.. B. F. White, of Malad
City. We have information of other facts,
in different other transactions, which, taken
singly, prove Carter to be most consummate
scoundrel, as the letter here appended shows:
EDITOR STATESMAN Through the medium OF
YOUR paper wish to ventllate few facts relative
to one of the viest specimens of humanity that
disgraces this or any other community that per-
son being NJ. A. Carter, the late Councilman from
Oneida county.
Having had this man Carter employed by the
wear as my attorney TO transact any legalor other
business had OCCASION during the last session OF
the Legislature to require bis services to assist me
in obtaining charters to some road property IN
Oneida county. One of said charters was for wha:
is known as the "Barnack Mountain Road, = which
he (Carter) wished to have half interest in. and
which was perfectly willing to grant; and &C
cordingly he drew up paper purportlng 10 De
articles Of partnership in said Bannack Mountain
Road.
Having the utmost confidence in him, and as
well, he being employed and paid as my attorney.
I unhesitating!y signed the articles as presented
to me, without taking the precantlon TO nrst read
them, having no thoughts of fraudulent designs
on his part, and which papers freely allowed him
to keep in his possession. At the time OF signing.
myself and Carter were entirely alone IN his room
at the Overland House at Boise, no other person
being present or within hearing.
After the Legislature had adjourned. and on
visiting Salt Lake City, | learned with surprise
that Carter claimed to own half interest IN all
property held in the county, and on further IN
auiry ascertaned that he actually held articles OF
agreement il which I had assigned and trans
ferred to him one-half of my entire effects. and
which, as drawn up, appeared to be witnessed oy
two parties whom had never seen or heard OF,
one being person by the name of Combs, whom
have since learned was professional hummer
at Boise, and of like character with Carter.
had heard of bis villainy, and knew OF ms
selling his political principles at the price OF
few worthless franchises also, had seen his ped
gree as published in Whites circulars, but had no
thoughts that any man claiming the semblance OF
manhood could be guilty of such contemplate
and scoundrelly trick. had sustained him from
hunger in this county for the past year, paid ms
Indebtedness at the Overland House in BOISE ID
order that Mr., Ellsworth might not expel HIM
from the house, and was invited to do the same
thing at the Salt Lake House in Salt Lake CITY;

it was worth, and in return he had secretly con-
niyed to rob me of my property, not even as hon

some of the Americans pay their
negroes to work on those days as
they threaten TO run away other
wise. The free people always take
them for holidays. Little or no
regard is paid to Sunday the
stores are kept open and many of
the planters go on working. The
religion in much of the country, is,
in fact, hardlya respectable sham.
1t seems to me to come nearer the
NEUROLOGICAL creed of the Greeks,
than modern christianity. If they
are in sorrow, one saint is appeal

another for health; ii a negro
