klux committee at Washington. and ma.
terially strengthened what has been testi.
6e& to bcfcse, thst all shn trouble and
disorders Of tAe Souah could be tsaced 70
the mismanagement and bad government
which hss been indicted Oh the Soutk By
carpet baqgers and scalawage under the
reconstruction acts. Mr.. Angler, espe.
oially, made . fearful Exposure Of 0o,.
Bullocts rascalitJ.
DR.. Angler, treasure Of Geoygia, in bis
| lsssaemesss before the Ku klus com uittce
to Gay, presented facts ana figures agaias.
Gov. Bullock, disavowing political or par.
tisas views. He said che Governos had
violated the plain letter of she law in
many instances, Including issuing new
state bonds, end his effort 70 conceal tho
amount and his disposition Of them.
The witness said he knew nothing OF
the kuklu except from rumor and
nero papes seports, never having to HE
knowledge seen one. He though lawless.
ness had exhibited itself 10 some sections
of Georgia as it did at times in every
State, and probably always would. He
could not say how far it had been polit.
ical, but concluded it was such in some
sections, and that both white men aud
black were now making use Of disguise
for private gain and personal revenge,
aud boys for mischief He regarded il az
. wonder that the people are ~ peaceable
as they are with the oorruptions and ter.
rible plundering, aud over throe hundred
pardoued by the Governor, a large por.
ton for murder, in some cases before
trial. There is no such thing as general
disturbance and never has been. MANY
negroes and some whites are addicted to
stealing and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and this has
caused large disturbances and violence in
some locations. IF individual accou It's
are true thero is a terrible condition of
affairs in certain neighborhoods.. He
thought however that the pictures wero
overdrawn as they have been proved in
most cases, and in some entirely false.
Injured and interested parties were apt
to give extravagant accounts, and with
unprincipled men this was a cheap and
convenient way Of making political cap
ital and inducing large rewards. I!c
thought the State laws sufficient to r,
strain lawless ness # the Governor would
ooase his Wholesale pardoning. The
rights of negroes we're safer in tie hands
Of upright and intelligent jurors, than in
negro juries in the present condition of
the race.
Edward G. Anderson, ex mayor of
Savannah, was also examined. He said
tho condition Of Georgia at the presen,
time was law abiding aud peaceful, and
that Savannah was the most peaceful city
in the country. On being asked wi ether
the people Of that State are loyal, he
replied he regarded loyalty as devotion to
the maintenance of law, and in this the
people were essentially loyal. They
were not hostile to the COVE, nment, but
} opposed to the administration as illus
trated by officers sent there to represent it
!. He did not know Of the existence of any
} ku-klux organization. A general am
nesty bill would be beneficial in every
| respect. The sentiment toward northern
men is kindly in the extreme. The pc,
, PIE wanted northern men to settle among
them. Many are already there, and al
corners from that section arc received il
f the most kindly spirit.
Judge A. r. Wright of Georgia, wht
8 was examined yesterday before tho Ku
klux committee said:
0 If the people Of the South can be mad,
, to believe that the people Of the Nortl
' will never retrace their steps on negr'
' suffrage, and will perpetuate their effort.
to make the black man dominate over tn
& white man, l would not stand securit,
. for the people Of the South if they shoul'
D ever chance to free themselves from sucl
! a state of things. But there need be n
. fears Of further rebellion. The souther,
4 people believe the present state of thing
, grows out of the excitement and animos
b tiles engendered by the war, and have Al
, abiding faith 10 the return of reason
D which time will serve to produce, an
a that the calm sense Of the country viii
!, be exertsd to hring about state Of feel
o ing and fraternity between the people 0
s this country, which nothing else will eve
# produce, and to which tho present man
n agement can never contribute.
