Mr. DeBow's Testimony
Before the Gongressional
Committee?Condition
and prospects of
the South.
J. D. B. DeBow, Esq., having recently
returned from, an extensive
Southern tour, was summoned as a
witness, a few days since, before the
Congressional Joint Committee of Reconstruction.
He testified upon several
eading points, we are informed, very
uuch as follows:
Tnn South Acquiesces.?There seems
:o be a general, nay, universal acquiescence
in the results of the war, though
much dissatisfaction prevails in reference
to the course pursued by Congress,
fhe people have fairly and honestly
1 ?? -...A oiirl
Jieci rue experiment ui octcooiuiij chj.v?.
ire satisfied with the result, and there
s no disposition in any quarter, in any
shape or tbrm, to embarrass the United
States Government, or to refrain from
the performance of all the duties of citizenship.
Those in favor of or opposed
to secession are agreed that it is our
jest interests to accept what the government
has done in reference 10 the
negro, as well as in reference to other
natters.
The Freedmen's Bureau is universally
complained of as a great evil to the
svliites as well as the blacks, and has
been the cause of much heartburning
md a feeling of hostility which did not
exist at the time of the surrender. The
hostility is not serums and would speedily
yield on the adoption of liberal
measures by Congress.
Militahy Foncjj.?None whatever is
required at the South, exc-opt what the
States themselves would furnish. Order
has been completely restored. .
Treatment of Union Men.?There
is a prejudice against those who remained
in the South and pretended
fealty to it, but who now, tor interested
motives, set up that they were always
loyal to the Union. Much deception
of the kind is practised. Union men,
alio left the country for that reason,
^ * -f -- " ' a tp a it nvn vac_
Ilia tOUlv 1IU JLJilJL'l; HI liiv nai) c*x*^
pccted when they return. The prejudice
never amounts to hostility, and no
mo would be molested on that account.
L know of no exceptions. Such'persons
require no protection. There might be
some little unkindness of look or expression
towards them, and they would
lot expect freedom of social intercourse.
\To attempt would be made by any one
o interfere with their personal and political
lights?none whatever.
Tkeatmkxt ok Noiitii khx Men.?The
secession men?the men who were it
:he war?are gem rally ruined, and
their families destitu e; and tliero is,
tor this reason, a disposition to sustain
hem if they undertake any business.
Actual sympathy with their opinions
must, of course, have its weight. On
the other hand, there are many, who
ire in flourishing business?Northern
men, who came to the South during or
since the war, and who conduct the
most extensive and lucrative ojierations.
Ihe discrimination, where it exists, is
merely social. At present it is well
marked. I have never known it to
take an offensive shape. There is coolness,
reserve, but nothing more. Lalies
at parties may not receivo the attentions
of Federal officers, yet the festivities
go on in the same room, and
ao unpleasantness occurs. The feeing
is stronger than it was. It is the
:esult of political causes. It will wear
iway.
Will the South Scrroirr tim Union
i gainst a Fokeign Powee ??Many
foung men might bo tempted to fight |
igainst the flag; but ninety-njne in the j
mndred of the people uro sick of war
ind would sustain the United States,
leyond a doubt; if not from affection,
tt least from a conviction of the overvhelming
power of the Federal governnent.
Alter the results of the late
var, they would know any opposition
o be hopeless. Besides, all foreign
n'o Vint/id mul desnised. because i
>f their course towards the Confederacy !
ind would never be trusted ; and none >
ire believed to be able to cope with j
;he United States.
Do the People expect Pay por their
Slaves ??This matter is sometimes
liscussed, but no expectation of the
rind exists. It would be difficult of
liscerament between slaves and other ,
property; and the conflict between
ilaimants would defeat any scheme.
Che nonslaveholders?the vast majority
nr-l- nrViir HOT? fflV RlftVfiS HTld
W UIUU CLQXV Jjlj .V
lot pay us for our property too ?
Political Elections in Future.?
There are so few men on the Union
tide from whom the choice could be
n-ide, and the proportion of talent and
.vorth is so overwhelming on the other
side, that there is but little option,
jther things being equal, they would
prefer men in sympathy with them. 1
There are many and notable exceptions
ind such will become more and more
frequent.
Fraterity.?The country is so deo-'
ate, there is so muoh distress, so much :
fvant and suffering among- the people I
of the South, that they have no time
for politics. They are disposed to go
to work to restore their broken fortunes.
If the exciting, annoying and
irritating causes were removed, it would
not be six months before the feeling between
the Northern and Southern men
would be softened, and a restoration of
harmony would be hastened. The very
necessities of our condition require
it. "We would find Northern men
bringing their capital and industry
among us, and they would be welcomed.
Labor and capital we must
have. The negro is defective as a laborer.
There was even under the old
system a deficiency of labor at the
South.
Treatment of the Negro.?He is
not held responsible for what has happened.
A kindly feeling exists towards
him. The disposition is to provide for
his necessities and secure his rights,
and thus make him a clieenui anu reliable
laborer. It is believed to bo the
interest of the employer to do this. I
know of some who provide teachers and
preachers. No ouside interference is
necessary. This is no new matter with
us. "We have had free "negroes in all
time. There were some thee hundred
thousand at the South before the war,
and half as many at the North. Our
treatment of them was never complained
of. No charges of that kind
came even from the North. When I
was at the head of tlio United States
Census Office, in 1853, I compared the
condition of these people in both sections,
and published the results. The
advantage in education and property
was largely in favor of the Southern
freedraen. Some of our freedmen
owned large plantations and slaves,
many were extensive property holders.
If without outside pressure this was
the case then, why not now? Why
should we change ? What policy, to
say no more, would be subserved i We
can do right now as well as then, and
will do it.
Emancipation as Compared with
Slavery.?If the negro works up to
the former standard, the present system
is cheaper. It is too soon to decide
whether he will work. A Summer
must como and go. They work very
well so fiir generally, though the women
are not disposed to field work. Upon
the mere money question the South
would be benefited. If we can get the
labor it will be cheaper to hire than to
own the negro. A plantation could be
worked with little outlay.
Effect croN the Negro.?Emancipation
will prove disastrous to him'. I
judge that from the experience of other
countries, and not from any we have
yet had. I judge by this thriftless
character, and disposition to crowd into
the cities and towns. It is what I see
all over the South. In the suburbs
everywhere you will see them crowded
in miserable shanties, eking out a very
uncertain subsistence. The mortality
among them has been frightful.
Civil Rights to the Fbef.dmex.?
There is a willingness to extend every
right whatever except that of suffrage.
He is not thought fit to exercise that.
Were he to vote, his inclination would
be on the side of his employer; but
that might, and perhaps would be,
counteracted by emissaries sent^into the
country. Northern men who have
come to the South since the war very
generally think as wo do in these matters.
They say they found our experience
worth more than their theories.
The negro is not thought to bo susceptible
of much education. People rather
smilo at the attempt to educate them;
there is no opposition to it, however.
Schools for them are multiplying. Under
slavery they were, taught on the
plantations Bible lessons, prayers,
H vmnQ / fitorViiKm etc. The otiinion is
growing among us everywhere, that it
will be for our interest, at least, to afford
every facility of education. That
is my opinion clearly.
Right of Secession.?I never doubted
the existence of this right, but am
satisfied by the results of the war, and
regard it utterly useless and hopeless
to assert any such right again. The j
event of the war was a distinct pronun- j
ciation against the exercise of the right, :
and a final settlement of the question.
Our people are better satisfied since
the experiment has been made, and
have nothing to regret. They have
i x ?x xi x"u:_i_
lost everytwng, out not, us ui?y mum,
honor.
I am perfectly satisfied that the people
of the South have given up all ideas
of secession. Leaders and people of
all clos-es of opinions agree upon that'
subject.
A jealous husband being absent from
home, went to a clairvoyant in London
to know what his wife was doing. "Ah,"
cried the clairvoyant, "I see her; she expects
some one; the door opens; he comes;
she caresses him fondly; he lays bis head
on her lap, and,"?husband mad with i
rage?"'he wags his tail." It was the
dog. The husband was calmed.
Somebody told us the other day that

I From Texas.
j INDIAN DEPREDATIONS?RODDERIES, MURDERS
AND OTHER OUTRAGES UPON THE
PEOPiE.
The following letter from the
Hon Jas. E. Ranck, tells a fearful tale
of Indian depredations upon the apparently
helpless people of Texas :
Representative Halt,. ?
Austin, March 10, I860. )
In compliance with your request, I
hasten to lay before you such information
in regard to depredations by Indians
upon our Northwestern frontier as
has coi&e within my personal, knowledge
during the last few months. I
shall confine my remarks to what I
know to have occurred within the district
which I have the honor to represent.
About the time of what is known
as "the break up" in Texas, the Indians
some twenty-five in number, came into
Mason County, not more than three
4Vsv*v* -rrrVinrn T livn nnrl ATtq
LUXXCO nuyiv a uiyj mmmvm ,.?. v?
Todd, wife of Geo. W. Todd, who was
our County Clerk, carried off her
daughter Alice, a young and interesting
girl of fourteen years, who had just
a few days before returned from the
San Saba Female Seminary, and killed
a negro girl who was in the party. Mr.
Todd was in the party, but managed to
escape1 unhurt.
The Indians were generally dressed
in the Mexican scytle, but were chiefly
aimed with bows and arrows?only a
few guns. That same party went on
into Gillespie County, and- there within
two miles of Fredrieksburgh captured
two young German girls, one eighteen
and the other fourteen: -. They killed
the elder one'before they left the neighborhood,
but not until after they treated
her in a manner too revolting to des'
cribe. The girls were the daughters
of a Mr.fc Mrs. Engliss, of Grape Creek.
On Grape Greek, in that County, they
shot an' old lady by the name Frail, and
carried*off her little son, a promising
boy of ffen years. On Crabb Apple
Creek they killed an old man whose
name was Walker, burned ins nouse
and carried off two of his children?a
little boy and girl. From every neighborhood
they so far succeeded in collecting
and driving off all the serviceable
horses that there was no possibility of
overtaking them. They went out without
even feeling the necessity of being
in a hurry: In the month of August
last they returned to the Selme, in Mason
County, and there killed an old
gentleman by the name of Park, his
wife and grand-son, burned thoir house
and drove off their horses.
On Red (".'reek they killed a man by
the name of Fred. Conway, who left nil
excellent wife and five little children to
mourn his untimely loss. Fred, was a
noble man, and brave as bravo could
be, but the savages overpowered and
murdered him in a most shameful manner.
Not far from there they killed an
old man, a German, by the namo of
Sheeman and his litlte son. On Spring
Creek, in Gillesnie County, they killed
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and' carried off
their children, I don't now remember
the number, but three or four I'm sure.
They killed at that same time and place,
a Mr. McDonald, and carried off his
family, consisting of a wife and five children.
On the Tortenolis, in the same
county, they carried off a promising boy
fourteen years of age, the son of a Mr.
Fisher, and again took horses about the
different premises, and escaped without
injur}'. _ Still later they came again,
and on Beaver Creek, in Mason County
they killed a Mr. Gancin'g and his wife
but not until six of the red' devils had
violated her by turns in the presence of
her. husband, who was, of course,
wounded and helpless. They finally
scarrified Mrs. Gancing. by drawing a
knife across her abdomen and thighs in
I avc-rv nncsihlA dirfifition. and then left
her to die. by slow degrees; she was far
gone in pregnancy, but strange to say,
she retained her senses to the moment
of her death, and when found, wa? able
to give the statement as just related.
They killed an old man by the name
of Couch, on Deer Creek, on the edge
of Mason County, shot a young man by
the name of John Lowe on the little
Liano, did many other depredations,
and, as usual, drove our horses before
them and escaped without injury. I
Just as I was leaving home thoy came
on the Leon, in Mason County, and ;
shot old Mr. Putnam and son, and j
drove off quite a number of horses that
were making their way further down
into the settlements. I have not mentioned
near all the depredations that
have been committed on the Sixty-seventh
Representative District alone
within a few months past. I do not
remember the names and particulax-s of
the other cases ; the truth is, I rather
seek to forget than to remember such
horrible scenes. You may ask why
we don't keep our horses in good strong
stables, and be ready to make chase
after the Indians. I answer that ten,
twenty, or thirty Indians generally take
horses regardless of one, two or three
white men and their stables.
Again I may answer, that the people
on the frontier of Texas are generally
i
stock growers-^?they raise (Jattle; and I
the fact that their beeves have been
subject to all manner of depredations
for four years, leaves many men
without the means to buy meat and
flour for their families, much less
for their horses. The horses are necessarily
left, therefore, to take the desperate
chance on the range. Since the
break up the few who were fortunate
enough to have any horses remaining,
have been unable to render them avail- .
able for much good, because when they
could collect them they couldn't sell
them, and now that they could get a
little sometliing for them, their horses
are all gone, and they are unable
to collect them- Last summer and
fall, men, neighbors of mine, came to
San Antonio and begged me to aid
them if I could, in getting four or five
dollars per head for the choice out of a
drove of five hundred noble muskero
grass beeves, where in a drove at that
time not one beef of which was less
than four and from that.-to eignt years
old. Tliey had to drive them home
again. The great necessities of the
people had caused them to overstock
the market.

Do You Take Ketchup?
If so, perhaps you will bo interested
in the following:
The old injunction, "Eat what is set
before you, asking no questions," if
complied with, will save one a good
many nauseating reflections in these
days of general adulteration. Sometimes,
however, the truth is told without
the questions being asked. The

of London, has 'been keeping
?to quote the works of the charge
against him?a large quantity of putrid
livers for the manufacture of ketchup,
which he called pure and. unadulterated
Leicestershire ketchup, such being
unfit for humau food, and a nuisance
to the neighborhood." Tho case was
brought up in court where a medical
health officer testified that he found a
barrel full of putrid pig's livers, which
the foreman told him were to be boiled
down to make ketchup. They wore
obviously unfit for consumption, showing
decay and putresence, and giving
out a stench that remained on the witnesses'
hands for hours. The magistrate
thought the case an important
one, but discharged the defendant, as
he believed that the act of Parliament
against adulteration did not apply to
thus instance.

President Lincoln's Murderer?A
Strange ReV- V,
elation?Confession
Sterling King?He attempts
to Commit Suicide.
We have already "mentioned fcliat h
man natned Sterling Kiog, now undet
arrest at Louisville, has confessed that he
was the murderer of President Lincoln.
Wc find the following respecting hira in
the Louisville Democrat:
He says that he entered the theatre ak
any other person, purchasing a ticket and
paying for it.
At the appointed time he entered the
private box in Ford's Theatre, Washington,
where Mr. Lincoln was, and he shot
him with a single barrel pistol, w'hidh
let fall at the time he leaped from the
box. Ho gives as his object (or using a
single barrel pistol that be was compelled
to leave it behind him, and if it bad
been a revolver those in the box might
have used it against him.
According to his statement, J. Wilkes
Booth whom, it is said, was the murderer
of President Lincoln, was in the rear o'f
the theatre, awaiting with horses. From ,
the vicinity of Ford's Theatre he says
that he went to the residence of Secretory
Seward, and after forciug an entrance,
made an attack upon the Secretary himself,
cutting him in the throat with a
bowie knife. He says that after young
Seward was knocked down, the old mail
begged not- to be murdered, aud that ho
struck the blow to silence him His only
regret seems to be that be did not kill
the Secretary. He says that there was
another person in the affair who has not
yet been apprehended, who was to have
killed Stanton, but he failed to fulfil hi&
pledge.
In regard to Booth, Le says that Booth
had nothing to do with the killing, with
the exception of assisting him to make hfi
escape from the city of Washington.?
He gives in his written statement, which
is now in the hands of the militaty, the
route he pursued after Laving Washing- /'
ton. He says that the man killed in the
barn, and who is said to have been Booth
was a prisoner, who escaped from tho
Ohio prison.' lie claims to have gone,
in company with Booth from Washings
ton to Canada and from thence to the lalaud
of Cuba. lie states that bis object
iD returning to the United States was for
the purpose releasing Jeff. Davis.
In regard to Mrs. Suratt, who was eV?
ei-utcd as one of the conspirators, he says
that she knew nothing of the conspiracy.
The parlies who planned the affair, three
of whom have never been heard of, met
regularly at the house of Mrs. Suratt, but
she knew nothing of their design.
King it a man who, during tie warT
figured in both armies, being convicted
by a military commission in each and
sentenced to death. At the time he
made bis escape from CoviDgton he was
under sentence of death as a spy and
guerilla. He gave as an object for making
the confession that his name would
be published as arrested for horse-steal*
ing, and as there were those in Washington
who-.knew him, he would be sent for.
The above statement w is made to Generals
Jeff. C. Davis and Watkins, at the
jail on Tuesday Since then he asked the
privilege of a pen-knife, which was granted
him. With this he opened the veinb
of his arm, and would have bled to death
bad it not been that the attempt was discovered
by his celi-mato and an alarm
given, * *
