lug rsmafks made alta serenads given
him BY friends in Washington just be

1867 will showhow he can talk:
CITIZENS OF WAsHINGToN--I thank
you for this testimony Of your conf
deuce 10 my ability to perform my du-
ty in new and different sphere. Ed
ucated as a soldier in the military
school Of our country, and on the field
of the Mexican war and American re-
bellion, l need not assure yoathst my
course asa district commander will be
characterized by the same strict sol
dierly obedience to the law there
taught me as a soldier. I know no
other guide or higher duty. Misrep.
resentatious and misconstructions q.
rising from the passions Of tho hour,
and spread by those who do not know
that devotion to duty has governed my
actions in every trying hour, may meet
me, but [ fear them not. Ny highest de,
sire will be to perform the duties Of my
new sphere, not in the interest of par.
ties or partisans, but for the benefit Of
my country, the honor of my profess
sion, and l trust also for the Welfare of
the people committed to my care l
ask, then, citizens, that I may not be
Judged in advance, and that time may
be permitted to dcvelope my actions.
Judge me by the deeds l may per.
form, and conscious Of my devotion to
duty and my country. l shall be satisfied
with your verdict, and if generous
country shall approve my actions in
the future as it mas in the past my
highest ambition will have been a.
chieved. As a soldier l am to admin
lister duties rather than discuss them
If 1 can administer them to the sat
faction of my country l shall indeed be
bappy 10 the consciousness Of . duty
performed. am about to leave your
city-tbe capital OF our country-besr
ing the proud name Of Washington.
As an American citizen the rapid

CoLoRED MEN IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Mr.. Otny was probably right in the main.
in his testimony given on Monday before tho
Senate Committee that there was no actual
necessity for the exodus OF the colOred people
from North Carolina. such az exists in some
of the more dlstinctively Southern States. 1t
is true that the freedmen in North Carolina
have neither been cheated nor matrcated by
their employers, as they would have been If
their ill-luck had placed them In Mississippi
the relations between them have been, on the
contrary, kindly, and educational facilities have
been placed in their way since the war. The
fact il that the white North Caronian in his
character, habits and even accent resembles
much more the far-of Pennsylvania than he
does his fre-eating Southern neighbor, and
the positIon which the cOlOred man holds in n
North Carolina farming population or village
is pretty much the same that he would
occuny in a Scotch Irish Pennsylvania COM
munity. But Nj, Otuy need not resort to
"fraud and Misrepresentation to account for
the exodus, nor need he denounce it as "a
curse sent by politicians upon bis people.
II should be remembered that North Caro-
lima, rich as are her undeveloped resources,
is probably the poorest state IN the Union.
There is now an almost absolute stagnation
in all kinds OF business for want of capital,
and. it must be added, energy, among the
whites What, therefore, must be the pow
erty of the blacks7 Since the war there has
been an eager desire to emigrate among all
the freedmen in this State. " The North y
has been vague Eldorado III their eyes, full
of gold and flowing with milk and honey an
idea which was fostered rather than discour-
aged by the strong loyal sentiment of the
State during the war. The poor people simply
followed the call of their Mississippi brethren
as bliuGIy as the children dill the pipe Of the
Pied Piper of Hameln. Mr.. Otny talks of
the colored doctors. lawyers and farmers busy
and prosperous in North Carolina and we are
bound to believe him that they are there
but every one familiar with that State knows
that, as rule. the only busy and prosperous
white men are those with capital or mechan-
ical skill. and unfortunately the majority OF

Mr. J. Il. Killibrew, Commissioners of Agriculture,
Statistcs Mines and migrate for tho State of
Tennessee, takes exception to recent criticism in
Thy TRIBUNE on a statement In one of hispubllshed
reports that Northern settlers cordially well
coined in all parts of that state, irrespective of
their politics. and have the full measure of social
and business advantages TO which their intelligence
and moral worth enttle them. He forwards
an interesting letter from Colonel James A.
Warder. United States Distnct-Attorney for
Middle Tennessee. a Republican and an ex-
Union officer, who emgrated to the State
immediately after the close of the war;
and whose personal relations with the former Con-
federate element among the natives have been uni
formly pleasant Colonel Warder writes that there
was a time when no thought :" tho bitterness Of
Marty politics. with its attendant wrongs would
destroy all the material interests of the State" but
that time he thinks, has passed never to return
AGAIN. One swallow does not make Summer
We would however by no means regard Colonel
Warder's case as exceptional but we cannot believe
that the whole State of Tennessee Is an
oasis of goodwill toward Northern Republicans in
the midst of the great Southern desert of intolerance
II would be easy to cite many instances of people

the Assembly Yesterday. A bill to incorporate
a free library in jamestown provided tha' I"
should be exempt from taxation. seveiai
protests were made against this on the grouhu
that too large a share of property thus es-
CAPPED responsibility to the public, and alter
the bill had been passed the vote was recon-
sidered, and an amendment made exempung

it was supposed the local exemption wouid DC

An excellent commentary upon the Rev.
Mr.. Cowley was afforded yesterday by MS
offer, through counsel, to permit the Court 10
assign the children recently taken from the
Shepherds Fold to the care of any persons
deemed proper provided the inquiry should
stop. In other words, Mr.. COwiey was
ready to see his so-called charitable institu-
ton depopuated if the revelations concerning
1t could be stopped; he was willing to admit
all that had been said, if nothing more would
be said. The counsel for the Society for
tue Prevention of Cruelty to Children naturally
opposed this, and Judge Donohue necessar-
ily declined to grant the request. The re-
suit was q continuation of the children
testimony, which proved greater cruelties
and wlckedness against this institution
than have been revealed already. If the Rev.
Mr. Cowley knew what was cOming-and be
did, of course-it is not surprising that he was
anxious 10 surrender his case on any terms.
1t will excite surprise, and some suspicion,
to find that the Fusion Legislature, instead OF
disbanding, has adjourned" until August
next. 1t is true that most of those Fuslonlsts
who are legally entitled to seats in the real
Legislature will take themj it is true. also.
as the dispatches show, that some cOunted-in
members will demand seats in order to get the
usual allowances of contestants. The legality
of the existing Legislature will therefore be
recognized in almost every possible way by
the men who. up to this time, have been dis
putting it. But why " adjourn" until August
Readers of The TRIBUNE Will inevitably be
reminded of the disclosure recently made by
correspondent, that the Fusonists had in
tended to hold an adjourned session OF their
Legislature in the latter part of the Presiden-
ual campaign. in order, if it was deemed
necessary, to choose Presidential electors, and
thus forestall the popular election. Is there
any remnant of this plan in the adjournment
until August 1t seems incredible, but the
incredible has happened from the beginning
to the end of the Maine business A few OF
the Fusionists, the Secretary of State" among
them. propose to be obstinate. It remains to
be seen whether they will take steps to put
forward as the Electoral College of Maine the
mere shadow of sham.
