lor this measure th it masked marauders

together with secret oaths and grips,
nightly commit depredation upon the
weak ami defenceless; that tiurders.
whippings, and robbeiies are of daily ;c
curreuce ; that notwi Islanding Iheconrts
are open there is a la:liire of justice, ftiic;
these offenders go uuwhipped of -justice ;
that there has not 'been a single eonvu:
lion ol" ihe Kn Ivmx tn irauders throughout
the entire Souih. This is certainly a most
horrid picture ; but I venture lo sugges'
to the olln-r side of the House thai il m ty
be just a little exaggeraletl and eonsid
erablv ti vercolored. Sir. I shall not denv
that liter are disortlers at she South, much
less to palliate them. I believe there are
disorders at ihe South, but I believe that
they are sporadic and not general. Uut.
sir. taking ul I thtit is c!:ai ged against the
South to be true; that the masked
m irauders make night hideous with their
crimes; that though the cohVis. .ta!e and
Federal, are open, grand juries refuse to
find indicime us and pe it juries re! use io
convict, in what way. pray tell me. is this
measure to impro.e att'itrs? Is it Ihe
pui pose, under this measure. lo place a
guard at the cabin ot every negro and
lo(al Hi-publican throughout, the S uiih?
Or is is ihe purpose to aivest on suspicion

evidence, through ihe iigency of military

Answer. I think I can state it. There
w is a grett deal of confusion there at the
time of ihe surrender in 18t. The Col
ored population, as ihey are termed, were
thrown upon us. and they were not dis
posed to work at Mat time. The conse
q leuce was that they had lib way ol
miking a living, anil had to resort r to
theft. There was a great deal of trouble
in that way. We ha'd no courts open and
the magistrates of the county, who were
appointed by the provisional Governor,
d.ew tij) a petition, and I was the bearer
of it myself to Governor Hodden, to give
us a jury court twice a year, but he re
fused to' grant us the petition. The ne
groes got up what we called Leagues in
our county. 1 know nothing about them
mvself. They were societies. I do not
know whether they were secret or not.
Thev were known as Leaguers. I do not
suppose there was much secrecy about
iheiR. Then was a great ileal ofdepred.i
tiou committed through the country, and
there was no law to protect the citizens.
Then it is reported (1 know nothing of it
except Irani report, and I am glad I know
nothing about it) that another orga tiza
tion. known as the Ku Klnx. was got up
to operate against the League societies.
Some people deny their being Ku-Klux.
b it I tlrnk that where tie re was so much
smoke there must have been some fire.
There is none in existence I here now, ami
I do not think there has been any tor the
last eigh'een months. Things got better
after awhile. The reason wh . 1 can speak
positively about an organization of thai
.kind is l hut -in August. 18(iS. a company
came to nv.v lov.-'n. forced 'pen the jail,
ami to k out two netrroes. One of them
got shot sono way- accidently. as 1
learned ami he died twelve or fourteen
days afterward. The other negro was
tried regularly, and cleared. The trans
action that it grew out of was this : a man
by Ihe name ct Jones had headman, a
colored man. living on his land. -lie
could not get clear of him. ami he resorted
to the law. git out his process, and put i;.
in the hands of an officer, lie got what
we call there a wiit of possession., turned
the man out. ami put his things in the
road. There were William M. Jones.
Barnes F. Minor, the officer, ami Jessie W.
Morrow, who was su ir.inonetl to go , with
the officer and its-is! him. 'I he evidence
came out iti my court (that, is ihe way 1
got hold of it) th.it thi- colored man. Jeff.
Morrow. w;is determined to have satisfac
tion, but intended to delay it uii'il alter
harvest. Alter ih.'se three men had got
their wheat, all cut und housed in their
b tins they were all set on fire and in a
light blaze tit one time ; you could stand
and see ihein all burning at once.
By Mr. Bivard : Ques'ion. Tne barns
of t lie three men who had executed the
lawlul process of the court?
Answer. Yes sir.
Question. Their barns were set on fire
after Ihey had executed the process?
Answer. Yes sir; ami this company or
org.tnizatiui. whatever it was. a ires! ed 'he
two negroes, who -ere taken out of the
j til. and some others, who were hung li
leaked tint just beiore ihe boy v-as tried.
It was in Orange, just on the line where
Chatham Orange, and Alamance join.
By the Chairman : Question Were
those negroes who were taken out of the
jail suspce'ed of being the parties who
burned the barn ?
A nswer. Yes sir. I understand Ihere
was a paper pinned on the hacks of those
ihat we iv hung, alleging ih-tt they were
hung for burning these barns. The other
b y w .s tried and acquitiee. Another
negro wis hung in Orange cuin:y, in a
northwest direction from llillshoro. The
ahega ion for that was ilia' he was a great
terror io whi'e ladies and impudent to
tlieni. And he was taken mil ol a house
no.n one. Another was hung about
eleven mi e- from Hi.l.-horo tor making

There was some
little scourging through the neigtib irhood

by die boys, ami some of ihe negroes, too.
So-ip p mpers of our poor house, about
lire miles ltom town wen whipped. A
colored woman was whipped. 1 saw her.
and heard her give her evidence. She
said she knew one of the men to be a col
ored m i;i. b tl she did not know the
oth-rs.
Question. Where negroes were arrested
for ofi -nses of i f i is i tod committed bv
them, is there any difficulty in having
them convicted; upon proper trial and
( s im ny. in the four's.
Answer. No. sir : I think none in the
world. I think we h ive as lair minded
men there as there are in the world.
Question. What. ihen. is the justification
lor proceeding to punish them without
law '!
Ansvrer. Well, sir. it. was jv.st hot
headed work. The outrages were so no
torious ihit they thought they would put
ihem down: 1 suppose. In fact, our laws
will not punish by whipping oi death
anything except inn i d'-r. 1 believe. As to
the penitentiary, well, our Governor par
doned some of them beiore they got in

WILSON DEWER.
I have not. quoted this evidence lor the
purpose ot extenuating or glossing over
the disortlers of ihe Stuith. but for the pur
poses of showing the actual state of affairs
there. It is proclaimed here and else
where that the Democracy on this floor
have become the apologists of ihe crimes
and sconrgings dote by the Ku-Klux. not
withstanding they have, oue and all. de
nounced it. But sir we are not to be de
terred Irom showing up the real instiga
tors of these crimes and disclosing the in
citing cause ol sou.hern disorders by ije
ing ilins denounced. It you would cure
ihe evil it is essential to know from
wheiic- the irritation comes. That re
moved, aad order and quiet will be re
stored. And now a word to the remedy. The
lesson of history, repeated as often as the
experiment has been tried, is that op
pressive laws always defeat the end
sought. You have, tried Ihein without
measure and without restraint for six
years, ami is is confessed that the present
case is no exception to the rule. Then,
sir. retrace your steps, as far at least as it
is possible to do so-; change, yo.nr policy
of oppression under oppressive laws upon
the South, and leave them to work out
the solution of this problem ihat has
thus tar defied your elforts. Already, sir.
where sell government has been most
nearly or wholly restored to this people
the evidence is iinmisiakaole that quiet
order is being restored, and in all the
States lately in insurrection the evidence
that has been Irom time to time taken by
authority of Congress conclusively proves
thai j.. st in proportion as the people have
receded Irom under ami been iedeved ol
those odious reconstruction measures and
their attendant res rain Is, in that propor
tion good order and quiet is resumed and
gains witn the southern people. All the
outrages ihat are now paraded here ami
in the other end of the Capiiol, with few
exceptions, occurred from one to three
years ago. And yet. sir. for the purpose
of keeping up an inll lined state of mind
iit the .orth lor partis in purposes, they ate
made to do duty at successive sessions oi
Congress.
Sooner or later tin questions arising on"
ol the changes wrought by war and recon
struction in ihe insurrectionary Suites
musi be wholly reunited to lhose States
o work out tor them-eives. as thev alone
can solve them. 'I here is bin one act that
Congress can now do to hasten I hat resu.t.
uid thai is. lo g've universal niui.esty in
the removal of ail political disabiliues.
This. sir. is the remedy w hich men ol all
panics in those States say will go furihtr
'o bring to them the benign influences ol
peace ami quiet ihati any other. I will
quote ihe opinion ol a witnesses taken in
i lie late investigation before I he Senate on
ihis point. W. T. Byimm. solictor in
North Carolina and a Radical, when inter
rogated as to tils opinion ou Ihis point, at
page ;")7 SilVS :
I think public opinion would probably
change if we had soiii.uhrng like a genciat
or universal amnesty. I thiun a great
deal ot thU public opinion is create 1 b
i lie fact that a large class of our people
feel that, the negro has political righ.s
which they have not ; that he can hold
office while a huge number of our people
cannot. I think hit is one cause of the
pub.ic opinion, and if i' could be changed
I think the evil would be at oi ce Ci rivet
ed, and this oi'gauiZsiUou would be dis
banded. Lewis ILirris, an editor, and an unflinch
ing Union man during the war, at page
Mi testifies as follows:
Question. Then I will ask von what
you believe would be a cure lor the out
rages which have been commit led. and
lor ihe feeling wnich ctiHetl them '!
Answer. I ihiuk the legislation is nec
essary, as. ih it which will tend to produce
a bet 'or state of leeiing. is this; yon mu-t
have observed lhat it is difficult t i execute
laws where the public sendment any way
justifies outrages or criminal acts. I think
a general amnesty bill, a repeal of thi
test-oath, and the admission into Congress
of those persons who have beeneicetetl by
Ihe people lo represent, them, would do
more to tesiore good feeling, and as a
consequence to arouse a publi-j feeling
against this lawlessness, ami a respect for
the Government, than any thing else that
cotiitl bt done.
Thomas Se!!e. one of the Radical judges
of the supreme court ol that Siate. at page
'JO. in answer to a request lo suggest some
remedy lor the evil, says :
Well. sir. I an not able I tried
to devise something that would meet our
cas, but I am unable to suggest anything
at present. I think probably tin rem -dy
lies in ourselves; let, us work it out. 1 do
not know. There is a great ileal said now
about these political disabilities. Fo- uiy
patt I think, in the preseiitcircumsianc.es.
that it is doing more harm than good to
retain ihem. ami lor this reason : so far as
obnoxious men are concerned, there are
men just its obnoxious lo ihe quiet of the
country outside of these men under the
bin as any that are among them ; and it
enables all parties there- and most of
our people aie. poli tidans ; men and wo
men all talk out pretty freely h enables
to say, "Here is one set of men disfran
chised, and their slaves are enfranchised
to govern them.'' Well, it is but a small
list, but it creates .-.ynrpath y. o'r father
they can m ike sympathy out of it. Still
those men vote, and they can select num
eq iilly as objectionable as any of them
selves who are under the ban. I have al
ways thettghi that perhaps the best thing
th it couhf be done in th it respect would
be to ti'inov iheir disabilities."'
James Reid Meilotdist minister, sivs
at page 110. as to removal of disthi hies, :
-I think lhat in case of a large portion
of those laboring under disabilities it
would be very soo'hing and quieting to
the public leeling. I am inclined to
think that it would have a tendency, in a
degree, lo relieve and remove a vein of
app rent rrtikiinrness. Those g-mtlemen
who are laboring under disabilities leej
very unpleasan. I know ; ihey feel ex
tremely iinn'easant. I am satisfied of that
and I think it has a tendency to irritate a
feeling that should have gone into quiet
long ay;t."
And here. sir. on this floor the Republi
can members Irani the South, with a few
exceptions, an decidedly of" the opinion
that these disabilities ought to lie at once
removed, ami this House, by a large tn i
jority on different votes have expressed
the same opinion. But. ir. the soirit of
partisan hate, wholly insensible to these
appeals and a'tmonlti,)ns Urlt nnv on

OFFIJIAL PAPER FJtt CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
Orogon City, Oregon ,
FrHav : : : Jtme 2, 1871.
Hon J H Slater's Speech.
We give much of our space this week
in order tj publish the able speech made
by Hon. Jas. 11. Slater in the House of
Representatives, on the -4th of April. It ts
an able speech and well worth a careful
reading. While we regret being unable
n give our usual variety of reading mat
ter, we feel assured that our patrons gener
ally will be amply repaid by this great
speech. We last week published Ihe in
famous bill against which this speech was
made. Wt ask our readers to pass it
ar jund to their neighbors alter they have
read it. It rj a credit to its author as
well as the State of Oregon.
A Fallen Brave
It appears from a synopsis of a plat
form adopted in Dayton county.
Ohio, of which Hon. C. L. Vallandig-liam
was the leading spirit, that fhe people
there assembled in the name of the Demo
cratic party of that county, adopted reso
lutions accepting the " situation ' w"hich
means negro suffrage, murder, theft, high
protective tariffs, usurpation and all the
other outrages perpetrated by the Radi
cals during the past ten years. If this re
port is correct, we have only this to say.
lhat the proper place for those who passed
Ihe resoiiuLns is in the ranks of the Rad
ical party. The Democracy accept the
situation thus far and no farther, lha4
they will ask. when in power, the people
to peacefully and under sanction of law.
to retrace their steps and return to the
better days of our Republic, and no
farther. They will never adopt these out
rages of the Radical party as a part of
their political laith. Why. if the Radical
party has done so well as to meet the ap
proval ol such Democrats as Vallandig
hatn and oiher would be leaders, should
they desire to oust them from power? It
amounts to a simple and childish factious
opposition, unbecoming of sensible men.
and a position we hardly ever expected
.Mr. Vailiindigham to assume. If we are
10 accept all the outrageous acts of tlr
Radical party as finalities, why keep up
an opposition ? On ihe same ground we
must i-ccept the passage of the last out
rage" bill, ami adopt it as a part of our
pany creed, because to all appearances
11 is a legally enacted law of the land.
We for one, ami we apprehend the De
mocracy jjenerally and a large majority
of the honest Republicans lor instance.
Trnmbie. Sciiurz. the Chicago Tribune and
others who . have heretofore acted with
the Radicals are not prepared to accept
the issues brought about by the Radical
scoundrels. The. Radicals desire the
Democracy to accept Ihe '-situation."
thin; they would be 0:1 an equality with
tl em ami become equally responsible for
t e misei ies ami woes brought upon the
country, and leave the Democracy no h
leg to go into ihe next Pre si Ict'ial cm
patgn on. So. the people will repudiate
any ami all public men, who even iutimite
that ihey are tor accepting the " situation''
of ihe Radical party. What! can any
Democrat or lover of his country acce it
t hi, long list of crimes perpetrated by the
Radicals during ilia past ten years? Il
there are any such, we would advise them
to go to the Radical party and accept the
whole ami eon less iheir past error and re
pent. We regret that a man like Val
iandighain has seen fit to "accept the
Radical situation." and can only say to
him as we would to anyother man. go
where you find lhose who are in sympathy
with you. The Democratic parly is nut
the place for such.
Radical Authority. We find the fol
lowing in ihe telegraph dispatches under
dale of the 20th :
Governor Scott, of South Carolina, ar
rived here yesterday, and held a long in
terview with President Grant this morn
ing, in which he stiid there was no neces
sity for putiing ihe State under martial
law. and ihat there was a good stale of
feeling anion g the 'belter c!a-s of citizens
lo put down Ku Klux organizations.
Here is the evidence of the Radical
Governor of ihe very State for which the
infamy passed, stating that peace rtLn-i
in his State, and praying not to have the
bill enforced. If there had anylhing been
needed lo defeat the Radical party in
172. ihe passage of this Ku Klux infamy
is all that is necessary.'
Nkkds .Martial Law. The following
dispatches would indicate that it is very
necessary for the President, Ben Butler
and Morton lo declare these sections under
miriial law. Even the terror of the in
famy which was passed by the
scoundrels in the late Congress is not
enough to cause the Southern people to
eh-ct Radicals to office.
Richmond, Va.. May 2C The city elec
tion returns have been canvassed. The
Conservatives c rried Ihe city by 170 ma
jority. and elected 20 out of 3t Councilmen.
I wo nl ihe Conservative Councilmen
were voted lor also by Republicans.
In Lynchburg the Coiiservai i ves car
ried the city.
In Norfolk the Conservatives carried the
Council. Twenty townships heard from
show material political changes.
Ratification- of the Tkeaty. The
treaty between the United StattS and
Great Britian was ratified by the Senate
on the 24th irlt. and the Senate adjourned
last Tuesday. The main features of the
treaty are favorable to England. Both
the Senators from Oregon voted against
the ratification ot it.- We have not been
able to obtain further than a synopsis of
the treaty, which we b'av"e heretofore pub
lished. From Paris. - The news Irom Paris an
nounces, the success of the Versailles gov
ernment and the iusttrgeirs are vertually
subdued. The loss of life and property
in tnkrng the city was immense. On

ll is
estimated that 607)0 ) persons were killed
Appotntmext. Sylvester C. S:mpson '
Esq . has been appointed State Librarian
in place of J. V. Ryan, deceased. This
is aa excellent appointment.
Tiik Lost Stkamkk. City ok BosTon
We find the followiig in relition to this
ill-fated steamer in the Boston Advertizer
of the 9th of May:
The following is a copy of a rrsper
picked hp on the chore at Shediac, on the
son h easl coast of New Brunswick, aDd
telegraphed to this city yesterday :
M Anon 21. 1870 -City of Bostot.
Ship sinking; over half full now. Good
bye all. Look hfter my boy. Thompson.
"Be gone in two hours."
The original paper is in the hands of a
Catholic priest at Shediac, who sent the
above dispatch to his brother, a member
of the bar in this city. A copy was also
sent to the ageot of the Inman line. The
name signed to the paper appears in the
list of passengers bv the City of Boston.
This ill-fated steamship, it will be renn m
bered. sailed from Halifax in March. 1870.
and was never heaid from afterward.
Poisonous Medicines
The theory that the viiusof disease can be
safely counteracted by does of poison, is
false and dangerous. "Within the last, twenty
five years, and less than a score of virulent
poisons have been added to the repository
of the medic d profession. Tl ey are given

Ayer's
SarsaparHla
Is widely kno-wii
as one of the most
effectual remedies
ever discovered for
cleansing the sys
tem and !urifvin
the blood. It lias
-mmtmc stood the,
fZief years, wnn a con
'Si Etantly growing rep
utation, based on its
intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the grent cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly knownj
of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, Irruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors, Blotches,
Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St,
Anthony's Fire, Kose or Erysipe
las, Tetter, Salt IJheum, Scaltl
Head, Kinjjworm, and internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach;
ami Uiver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it would not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
iieucorrhoea, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vlor of the digestive organsj
it dissipates the depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,c3
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.
