Jntosjm Intelligencer. Bill Arp is Called Before the Re? construction Committee. [suppressed testimony.] 2fc the Editor of the Mdropolitan Record : Mr. Editor: Murder will out out, and so will evidence. Having seen Dan Bice's testimony before the Destruction Com? mittee, I have felt sorter slighted, because no mention aint been made of mine. I suppose it has been suppressed, but I am not to be hid out in obscurity. Our coun? try is the special jury, and by-and-by this business will go up bofore it on ap? peal. The record must go up fair and complete, and therefore Fll take occasion to make public what I swore to. I said a good deal more than I can put down, Mr. Editor, and at times my language was considered impudent, but they thought that was all the better for their j side, for it illustrated the rebellious spir? it?I heard one of 'em say: "Let him go on?the ruling-passion strong in death. He's good State's evidence." When I was put on the stand, old Boutwell swore me most fiercely and sol , emnly to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and I observ? ed that he was then entertaining about a quart of double rectified, and it looked like it had soured on his stomaoh. Old Blow was settin off on one side, with a memorandum book, gettin ready to note down some "garbled extracts." Old Iron-works was Chairman, and -when he nooded his Republican head, old Boutwell, says he: "Your name is Arp, I believe, sir?" "So-called," says I. "You reside in the State of Georgia, do your . "I can't say exaotly," says I. "I live j in Rome, right in the fork of two Injun' rivers." "In the State of Georgia ?" says he, fiercely. "In a state of uncertainty about that," says I. "We don't know whether Geor? gia is a State or not. I would like for j you to state yourself, if you know. The state of the country requires that this matter should be settled, and I will pro? ceed to state"? "Never mind, sir," says he. "How old are you, Mr. Arp ?" "That depends on circumstances," says I. "I don't know whether to count the last five years or not. During the war, your folks said that a State couldn't se? cede, but that while she was in a stato of j rebellion, she ceased to exist. Now, you say we got out, and we shan't got back again until 1870. A man's age has got somethin to do with his rights, and it we are not to vote, I don't think we ought to count the time. That's about as near as I can come to my age, sir." "Well, sir," says he, "are you familiar .with the political sentiments of the citi? zens of you State ?" "Grot no citizens yet, sir, that we know of. I will thank you to speak of us as 'peorSle.'" "Well, sir," says he, "I'll humor your obstinacy. Are the people of your State"? "Don't epeak of it as a State, sir, ifj you please. I'm on oath now, and you must excuse me for being particular. Call it a 'seotion.' " "Mr. Arp, are the people of your section sufficently humbled and repentant to como back into the Union on such terms as wo may think proper to impose ?" "Not much thoy ain't," says I. "I don't think they are prepared for it yet. They wouldn't voluntarily go it blind against your hand. They say the deal wasn't fair, and you're marked the cards and stole the trumps; but, at the same time, they don't care a darn what you do. They've become indifferent, and don't! care n?thin about your Guy Fawkes bus? iness. I mean no respect to you, gentle? men, but I was swore to tell the whole truth. Our people ain't a noticin you on? ly out of curiosity. They don't expect anything decent, or honorable, or noble, from you, and they've gone to work dig gin, and plowin, and plantin, and raisin: boy children." " Bight here the, man with a memoran? dum scratched down a garbled extract, and old Boutwell, says he: "What do j you mean by that, sir ? What inference do you intend ?" >Tm statin facts," says I. "You must draw your own inferences. They are raisin boy children. Any harm about that? Any treason ? Can't a man raise boy children ? Perhaps you'd like to amend the Constitution and stop it. Old Pha? raoh tried to stop it among the Israelites, but it didn't pay. Ho finally caught the dropsy in the Bed Sea. We are raisin boy children for the fun of it. They are *a good thing to have in the house, as Mrs. Toodles would say." "Mr. Arp, are not the feelings of your| people very bitter towards the North V "I beg your pardon, sir, but you'll have to split the question, or else I'll have to split the answer. Our people have a very high regard for honorable men, brave men, noble-hearted men, and there's a heap of 'em North, sir, and there's a heap of widows and orphans there we are sor? ry for; but as for this here radical party, they look upon 'em like they was hyenas-1 a scratchin up the dead for a livin. It's as natural to hate 'em as it is to kill a snake. It's utterly impossible for me to i [ tell the strength, and length, and hight, depth and breadth of their contempt for that party. They look upon a radical as?as?as?well, as a beggar on horse? back?a buzzard sailin round a dead ea? gle?a suck-egg dog creepin up to the tail of a dead lion. They talk about hirin Brownlow to abuse 'em, to use lan? guage on 'em, like he did a few years ago when he spoke against Pryne. If they do hire Brownlow he'll spatter 'em, he'il daub 'em all over, and slime 'em and slob? ber on 'em about right, and it will stick, for the pores are open and their morals spongy. I'd like to stand off about ten rods and hear him spread himself. It would be worse than a squirt-gun full of cow-slop, and I have no doubt would give general satisfaction." "That's sufficient, sir," says old Bout well. "Ef it was in their power to do so, would your people renew the fight ?" "Not unless they could fight the radi? cals all alone, and all the world agree to 'hands off.' Even then there wouldn't be no fight, for wo couldn't cotch you." "What do your people say upon the subject of negro equality ?" "They say it's a lie, sir?it don't exist by nature and never can in practice. Folks were not created free and equal. That may be a theoretical truth, but it's always been a practical lie. There's grades of society everywhere. There's men I give the sidewalk to, and there's men that gives it to me. There's men that I vote, and men that vote me, and the grades go up, up, up, step by step, from my sort to Mr. Davis and Mr. Ste? phens, and Gen. Lee, and Howell Cobb, and Ben. Hill, and their sort, for they are the highest in the nation: and then, again, it goes from me down, down, down to the niggers, and the Republicans and the radicals, and that's as low as they run. There ain't no equality, and you can't make one. We'll vote tho niggers cer? tain. I'll vote Tip, and Tip's a 'head center.' He'll vote about forty, and the first thing you know we'll elect seven big, black, greasy niggers to Congress. We'll j do it certain?seven of 'em eighteen I carats strong, with African musk. The j other rebel States will do the same thing, jand you'll have about fifty of 'em to i draw seats with, and you can all stick ! you legs upon your desks together, and j swap lies and vermin, and be shampood at the same shop, and the fair sexes can set together in tho galleries, and mix odors and fan their soent about promiscu? ous. We'll give you a full benefit of your civil rights bill, see if wo don't. You go on?play your cards. Wo are bidin our time. We are payin your taxes and your duties and back rations for 1864, and li? censes, and your infernal revenue, and obeyin your laws without havin any hand in makin 'em, and we are cut off from pensions and public lands ; and you sold a poor man's still in my County, the oth? er day, because he couldn't pay your tax on some peaoh brandy he stilled for his neighbor two years ago; and soon you'll be sellin the land for the land tax, and you're tryin your best to plaj the devil generally; but you'll catch it in the long run. See if you don't. Talk about Fe? nians. When the good men of tho North and* the South all get together, they'll walk over the track so fast that you won't have time to get out of the way. You'll subside into obscurity, and your children will deny that their daddies ever belonged to such a party. Excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm a little excited. Five cents a pound on cotton will excite any? body that makes it. Tax on industry? on sweat and toil. Protection tariffs for Pennsylvania and five cents a pound tax on Southern cotton?half its average worth?and your folks will manage some way or other to steal the other half. My advice to you is to quit this foolishness and begin to travel the only road to peace." Old Blow couldn't keep up with his gar? bled extracts. "What makes the President so popular at the South ?" "Contrast, sir?oontrast. The more he ain't like your party, tho more popular he is. He would treat us about right, I reckon, if you would let him alone, but you bedevil him so, that sometimes he don't understand himBolf. I don't think he knew for awhile whether his peace proclamation restored the writ of habeas corpus or not. But do you go on and im? peach him, and that will bring matters to a focus. I'll bet you'd bo in Fort Dela? ware in a week, and the Southern mem? bers be here in their seats, and they'll look round at the political wreck and ruin and plunder and stealage that's been going on, and they might exclaim, in the language of the poet, "Who's pin here since I'sh pin gone ?" "Mr. Arp, suppose we should have a war with England or France, what would the rebels do ?" "They'd fellow Gen. Lee, and Gen. Johnston, and Longstreet, and Bragg and old Bory. My opinion is, that Gen. Lee would head the Union army, and Gen. Grant would be his chief of staff, and Gen. Buoll would rank mighty high, I aild" "What would you do with General Sherman. I" "Sorry you mentioned hrm. We'd have to hire him, I reckon, as a camp fiddler, and make him sing "Sail Columbia" by firelight, as a warnin to the boys how mean it is to burn cities and towns and make war upon defenceless women and children. No, sir,our boys wouldent fight undergo such." At tiJis time tbe man with the memo? randum put down some more garbled ex? tracts. " Do you think, Mr. Arp, that if the South should ever hold the balance ot power, they would demand pay for their negroes ?" "I can't say, sir. But I don't think the South has lost anything that way. We got their labor before the war for their vittels and clothes and doctor's bills, and we get it now for ab?ut the same. It's settled down that way, and your Bureau couldent help it. The only difference is in tho distribution. Some of us don't own as many as we used to, but every? body has got a nigger or two now, and they'll vote em or turn em off. A nigger that wouldent vote as I told him, shouldn't black my boots." At this time the committee looked at one another, seemin to be bothered and astonished. Garbled extracts were put Idown with a vim. Mr. Boutwell says he, "Mr. Chairman, I think, sir, we are. about through with the witness. I think, air, his testimony settles the question as to what we ought to do with Southern traitors." The chairman give me a Republican nod and remarked, "Yes, sir, I think we do. The scoundrels burnt my iron works." Whereupon I retired, having giving general satisfaction. Yours truly, BILL ARP. -o The Army of Horthern Virginia. The concluding paragraph in an article in the Crescent Monthly, entitled "General Lee and his Campaigns, by J. Quitman Moore, Esq.," is the most graceful and touching tribute to the gallant army of Northern Virginia, and its last and most renowned chief, that we havo read: " There stood the mournful remnants ofthat once glorious army, that had dip? ped its conquering banners in the crimson tide of eight and twenty sanguinary bat? tles, and strewn its heroic slain from the feet of the Pennsylvania mountains to the gates of its own capital city; that had given Manassas to Beauregard, and twined the fame of the Seven Pines battle in the laurel wreath of Johnson; that had caused the waters of the Shenandoah eternally to murmur the fame of Stonewall Jackson, and, stretching its right arm out to the distant West, had planted victory on the drooping banners of Bragg; and had wit? nessed four gigantic campaigns, and through all their shifting and tragic scenes and under all difficulties and dangers, had remained steadfast and faithful to the last. And, after having witnessed the rising of the Southern constellation, as it loomed up brightly on the horizon of war, pursu? ing to its splendid zenith the fiery path Ot Mars, now Deheld not unmoved, its decli? ning Bplendors going down in the gloom of eternal night. "And he, its illustrious chief, whose lofty plume was ever its rallying point in battle, and around whom its affections warmly clustered, now commended it for its past devotion, and bade it adieu forever. Slowly and sadly he rode from that mourn? ful field, and tho cause that he fought for was beneath the foot of power. Few were the eyes that grew not moist at witness? ing that departure. It was the agony of a great cause finding expression in the suSlime soul of its great defender. And though that cause be dead, yet will its memory continue to live, and ever honor? ed will be those illustrious names that sac? rificed at its altars. And on the scroll of fame no name among the list of eminent worthies will shine with a purer, seroner, or more resplendent light than that of Robert Edmund Leo. His fame is monu? mental. His name will be placed along? side those of the great captains of history ?Marlborough and Saxe, of Tilly and Eugene; and as long as the fame of the Southern struggle shall linger in tradition and song, will his memory be cherished by the descendants of the Southern races; while his character will stand up in the twilight of history like some grand old cathedral, lifting itself in imperishablo beauty above the objects of earth, majes? tic in its vast proportions, awful in its solemn stateliness, sublime in its severe simplicity." -* ? Artemus Ward was out lato one night recsntly. Here is an account of his return home : "It was lato when I got homo. The children and my wife were all abed. But a candle?a candle made from taller of our own raisin'?glemed in Betsy's room. It gleamed for I! All was still. The sweet silver moon was a shinin brite, and tbe beautiful stars was up to their usual doins! I felt a senti? mental mood still so gently ore me stear? in', and I pawsed before Betsy's winder' and sung a kind of op'ratio vois as rol? lers, impromtoo, to-wit: Wake, Betsy, wako. My sweet galoot! Rise up, fair lady, While I toot my lute! The winder?I regret to say that the winder went up with a vi'Ient crash, and a form in spotless white exclaimed, "Cum into the house, you old fool. Tomorrer you'll be goin' round complainin' about your liver." . -? ? A company called the "Cash Pay? ment Association," intended to take ad? vantage of the difference between cash and credit prices, has been formed in Lon? don, England. Every person who pays ton shillings a year to the association re? ceives a list ot shops at which, for ready money, he may obtain goods from seven to twenty-five per cent cheaper than he otherwise would. The tradesmen givo the pledge to the association, being them? selves repaid by the additional customers j sent them. Scraps, Facts and Fancies. * ? An exchange sayp that recently a lady, speaking of the gathering of the lawyers to dedicate a new courthouse, said she supposed "that they had gone to view the ground where they must shortly lie." ? A sweet young lady says that males are of no account from the time the la? dies stop kissing them as infants till they commence kissing them ?? lovers. ? Mayor Monroe, of JSew Orleans, at the instance of tho friends of tho late Governor Allon, has written a letter to the Mayor of the City of Mexico, re? spectfully asking the privilege to remove the remains of Governor Allen from that city for interment. ? The Homer (La.) llliad has the fol? lowing startling statement: "We think it time that tho gentlemen in Homer should cease getting drunk. There is scarcely one in the town who does not more or less at times indulge too freely in strong drink!" ? We remember, says the Petersburg Index, at the battle of the Wilderness a gallant young Misaissippian had fallen, and at night, just before burying him, there came a letter from her he loved best. One of the group around his body, I a minister whose tenderness was woman? ly, broke the silent tearfulness with which he saw the dead letter; he took it and laid it on the heart of him whose heroic heart was stilled: "Bury it with him. He will see it when ho wakes." It was the sublimost sentence of the funeral ser? vice. ? In Homer, Michigan, a few days ago, a school mistress named Dyer whipped a pupil who had inadvertently addressed her without the accustomed nod of consent, until she had used up three whips nearly as largo as a man's finger. She then took a ferule, an inch in diame? ter, and scourged the boy with this until his Btrength gave way. The subject of her discipline is covered with abscesses from head to waist, and his arm has been rendered useless. ? By laying a piece of charcoal on a burn the pain subsides immediately. By leaving the charcoal on one hour the wound is healed. It has been demonstra? ted on several occasions. The remedy is cheap and simple, and certainly deserves a trial. ? The Mexican correspondent of the New York Times has no faith in tho sta? bility of Maximilian's government. He says: "Let not our people think that the throne of Maximilian is a fabric of stability, for its foundation is in Europe; 60,000 European bayonets support it now, but as Miramon, Santa Anna, Comonfort, and the usurper Iturbide found their places insecure and short-lived, so will our simple-minded Austrian marino learn, after he is left to guide tho Mexican ship alone. The rapidity with which these people reorganize is scarcely paralleled. Even now, foreigners who have long re? sided in tho capitol say the atmosphere is rank with revolution." ? Attempts at assassination, from po? litical motives, threaten to become epi? demic in Europe. The recent attacks upon the Emperor of Eussia and the King of Prussia have been followed by another upon Count Bismark.' This last one was made by a young man, 22 years of age, a step-son of the well-known re? publican refugee in London, Karl Blind. Count Bismark himself seized the would be assassin, who, after being taken to jail, contrived to stab himself nine times in the throat, and died the next morning of his wounds. ? A teacher in a primary school at Brookfield, Iowa, the other day, found among his list of juveniles one who was constantly engaged in somo mischief, and at tho same time was given to swearing. Having uttorod an oath in violation of tho teacher's rules, he ordored the afore saidjuvenilo to take his place in one cor? ner of the old rickety school house, and placing a pair of old-fashioned iron tongs in hi? hand, ordered him to watch a hole in the floor until he should catch a mouse? supposing this would be a groat punish? ment. The littlo urchin gazed steadily at the apperture, whilo tho teacher, with his lace turned from him, was engaged with the other scholars. At last he heard the old tongs go bang! Ho turned his eyes quickly upon the youth, who, with a countenance beam ? with excitement, yelled?' \cher. I've got the d?d little cuss !" W. K.
