rida. Ho eays,,sp far rs The, saw, and he
Fent with his eyes and ears open, there
WAS no feeling of fear or distrust on the
part of the colored people, and he could
not, for theTcfife Of him, see what Tuse
there Was for force bills. He was very
glad to have made the trip, for it hos en-
abled him to understand tho condition
of the South better than he has over un.
derstood it before. He said 1t was not
the Ku Klux that was running the South; /;
nor WAS their Unhappy condition to be
attributed to the hatred by the
Southern people of the people of the
North; nor WINS any political question
involved He thinks the whole trouble
in the South arises from financial and
industry CAUSES. and he believes thnt
the South will not improve and advance
the financial legislation of the Forty
third. Until the industries Of tho coun-
tryis revived, and we are forced to live
within our income, the South will grow
wOrse instead of better. AS matters are
going now, the Judge thinks, not only
that tho South and S0ush-~oss.. will &c
involved in ruin, but the country itself
will be hopelesely ruined. The tren-
sury, he thinks, is already empty. Work
IL stopping In the navy yards, on public
works, buildings, &C., for the money is
run out; the receipts are not equal to
the expenditures, und n day Of settlement
is not far of. He was asked how long
the treasury would hold out, and
he answered that unless there il an
improvement in the customs and internal
revenue receipts, the treasury will be
empty by September next. Judge Kelly
called on Secretary Bristow, and had u
long talk on financial matters, but he
did not succeed in obtaining any new
information from the Secretary. The
Judge asked him how soon he was to
begin to buy currency again. The Sec.
sitting it, but Judge Kelly thought that
he had used the right term. He did not
think the Secretaey was selling gold, but
was buying currency, which is necessary
for daily use. Hetold the Secretary that
the South, the West and the whole
country would never recover while IN
effort was being made to bring about
specie payments by contracting the cur
rency.
