with Kellogg, Packard, Person

not influence my mind Il particle. |
didn't know that Pierson ana witch
ell had anything to do with the legls-
lature. My conclusions are made up
from observations and reports made
by subalterns. The chief crime
that the col0rcd people are
guilty of is petty larceny. nr@My expert
cuce is, that they are-very generally
truthful. Have had considerable init
mate knowledge of affairs in DeSoto
parish. The negroes are deliberately
robbed. As class, the democrats are
the most intelligent in the country.
White men commit crimes and are not
punished for their oiiunses as strictly
as the negroes are. The white people
generally assert that there has been
maladministration, and corrupt men in
Offices. Taxation has been unreason-
ably high and the white people regard
the state government as oppressive.
Never heard of republican meeting
in Caddo parish. am very sure that
in the last election the colored men did
not act free or register freely; they did
not dare to. WhenI was up the river
after election day many colored people
called on me to know what they should
do about being discharged because Of
their having voting the republican
ticket.
In Caddo, there are at least five
thousand colored men out of employ
ment for that reason. L have proofs
that hundreds of negroes were dis
charged because they refused to vote
rs the whites demanded. The consc-
auence is, and will be, that these un-
fortunates will take to the woods and
must steal or starve. | made atiida-
Wits against some residents, before the
United States commissioners, hoping
thereby TO arouse II feeling among
some OF .l-e best citizens TO induce the
worst to obey the civil law. The civil
law was not resisted in that instance:
| have never seen bills calling on em-
plOyess to discharge employees WHO
did not vote The Democratic ticket
but have seen notices 10 that effect.

Mr.. Southworth testified as follows
Went to Alabama from Illinois in
1865. | was republican always had
been republican. Had spoken dur
ing the last campaign in Selma for
the republican state ticket; thought he
knew the general condition of the
state as well rs amy man could his
professional duties took him to all
points. There was no county in which
a republican could net live and adv0-
cate his political principles, even olten-
sively, without molestation. The ct.
iect of sending troops to the state was
injurious, and there was no time when
they were needed or when the country
would not have been better or with
out them. Was II carpctbagger and
hnI han, a fnlarul ntfi-
Ger and had not been ostracised.
