The Daily, News TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1868. A Philanthropist In Limbo. Among tho limited number of white persons w ho at tou Je J Fred. Douglass and his colored companions, on tho occisi?n of their visit to the President, was one CALVIN PEPPER, who, we believe, claimed t o hail from South Carolina. We find in the Philadelphia Inquirer, v Radical paper, of th? 29th ult, tho foUowli g notice of 3?r. PEPPER, who, lt seems, has got himself into trou? ble, having fail? d to obtain thc assont of the freedmen to tho exchange of their cash for his fino word-i and moral Ideas, which be regarded as an tmplr equivalent for all the savings which they gave bim an opportunity .to pocket. There aro a good many PEPPERS here, and we would suggest to our colored people to have nothing todo with all those noble apos'Ies in the "cause." Most of them are as great hnmbugs as CALVI? P. Tho arrest of Calvin Pf pp?r. of Norfolk, who bas fig? ured of late M a disintore*ted liumanl'nmn iu a colo nizatlon scheme for ororation among the freedmen on the Peninsula, boa caused much exi-itement among tho freedmen, who had tu ascribed Ligely toward the pro? ject Mr. Pepper proc?eied to Ri. hm< nd in charge of Lieutenant Fessecden, of the r-th United States artillery and bad an Interview with 1 > enera! T< rry. The investi fation of the charges wore conduct d under Ornerai erry's personal supervision; and rvery opportunity -eras given Mr Pepper to mike the necessary defence. For more than an honr the General listened to Pep? per's elaborate defence, and wben be had concluded, took np hts prospectus, published in the columns of a small paper Issued at Norfolk, and dissected lt with a minuteness of Inquiry which soon lcd to bia entire dis comfiture, and exposed the utter worthlesreso and xnaud.ing character of the scheme. Major-General .'Howard had telegraphed te Washington his entire dis? approval of tho affair, and from the evidence adduced it 'became apparent that he was acting en iirely without tho co-operation of the freedmen's Society ot the North as stated in his pros* ?tus. The result waa jat General Terry ordered Kr. Pep .per's compliance with the contents of Major General Miles' letter, served upon him a few days previous to 'his arrest, vis: To refund and tura over the money ?collected by him and hts coadjutors from the freedmen ?of this distriot to a commissioned officer appointed to receive the same. Mr. Pepper has been permitted to return to Norfolk, but is prohibited from visiting the Peninsula or engaging in any colonization scheme. (JowNEencuT ELECTION.-The election for Governor Of Connecticut took place yesterday. A letter from New Haven to the New York Herald says : "The canvass of the State bas been completed by the ''Local Committees of each p*rty. and the results, aa pri? vately announced lu tho Republican State Committee, foot up as follows : Hawloy, Rep. 42.28(1 English, Dem. 41,110 Doubtful. 2.660 Giving Hawley a majority of 1260, with 25C0 doubtful . vote? to alter the result of the Democratic State Com? mittee figures as follows : English... 43 210 Howley. 41.000 Doubtful.

C., to that port, was capsized below Kort Jackson. There wore about thirteen persons nn board, all of whom were picked np by an outward bound steamer, with the exception of a colored man by the i ame of Allen, recently a momberoi the Sith U.S. C.

GREAT EMIGRATION rsow fBELAHn.-According to tho Cork Examiner, upwards <>f four thousand p-rson* leit Ireland during the first week of the present month, going to the United SUtes by way of Queenstown, It is estimated that two-thirds o' the number were of tho middle ai.d tarring class The farniers were complidn ing last year ot the wan' of laborers to gather in the har? vest; but If the emiisxattou continues at the presout ruto (says the Examiner), ono. t'uonsnnd flvo hundred a week, they will certainly have more canso to complain this year, us thoan leaving now aro mostly of that class. About six t unbred p^ssensers sra now waiting in Queenstown to get away by the steamers. FLOium.- The OainsviJe Era thinks that Florida will soou have a superabundant population, as emi? grants are pouring in fi oui ol parts of the world. It bids them welcome, and assures them of a kind recep? tion, particularly if th-?y bring money. FIRE IN MEMPHIS.-From the, Memphis Bulletin of 37th ult. we learn of a most destructive fire in that city on the 56th. The amount of property destroyed was .very large, estimated at near $50,000. The Views of Slr. Lincoln on the Scheme ot*-the Dlsnnlonista. The following Important letter on the views of Mr. I cs co LS on the Radicals and the question of restoration, han been addressed to President JOHNSON, by ex-United States Marshal LA MON, Mr. LINCOLN'S intimate friend and former law partner : Mr. PnESXDKKT : Among ihe nnmerons allegations m ide against you by the ultra abolitionists, I hear none repeated so often aa this-that you have deserted the principles upon which you were elected, and turned aside from the path in which your lamented predecessor would have walked if he had lived. It seems to be be? lieved by some that Mr. Lincoln could have been need by the Radicals for all their purposes, including the de struction of the Government, the overthrow of the (Jon siltation, and the indefinite postponement of union and harmony among the States. I need not say to you or to any well-informed man, that the masses of that powerful party which supported Mr. Lincoln and you in the canvass of 1864, were - sincerely attached to the Union and devoted believers in the Con - ti tu ti on. They -everywhere asserted that the object of the war was to re-eetibUsh the Union with the least possible delay, and one of the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention pledged you both to restore tho paramount authority of the Constitution In all tho States. It is trae that the party included some malignants who hated the Union and tried to destroy lt before the war began, and their pretended love of the Union during the war was more than suspected to be insincere and hypocritical; bnt they kept prudently Hilen t. afr. Thaddeus Stevens was, to the best of my knowledge, the only leading man in the party shameless and im? pudent enough to avow hts hostility to the Union. He was not tho exponent of our views, and ho representod not even a fractional part of the honest millions who cast th?lr votes, spent their money, and shed their blood to bring back the government of their lathers. All this yon know. I writ? now to tell you what I know concerning the personal sentiments of Mr. Lincoln himself, and I claim now to be the same kind of a Re? publican that I waa when I voted for bim at bis first and second election. I was his partner in the p ra; ti ce of the law for a number of years. I came here with him as his special friend, and was Marshal of this distriot dining the whole of his administration. Down to tho day of his death, I was in tho mo-t confidential and in? timate relations with him. I knew him aa well as one man can be known to another. I had many and free conversations with hun on this very subject of recon? struction. I waa made entirely certain by bis own re? peated declarations to me, that he would oxert all his authority, power, and influence, to bring about an im? mediate reconciliati. ii between the two sections of the country. As far as depended upon him, he would have had the Southern States represented in both Houses of Congress within the shortest possible time. All the energies of his nature were given to a vigorous pro? secution of the war while the rebellion lasted, but he "was equally determined upon a vigorous prosecution of peace, as soon as armed Hostility should be ended. He knew the base designs of the Radicals to keep up the strife for their own advantage, and he was determined to thwart them. As he himself told mo very often if any corroboration of this statement is needed, it may be found in the fact that the ultra abolitionists had actu? ally begun the outcry against bim before bis death, and the moderate men everywhere, North and South, sin - oorely mourned his fall as a calamity which deprived 'thom of their best friend. If that inscrutable Pro vi - -dence, whose ways are past finding out, had permitted bis life to oontlane nu til this time, there can be no doubt that the Northern disnnionists wonld now be as loud in their denunciation of his policy as they are of .-yours. Mr. Stevens' demand for the head of "that maa at the other end of the aveuue" would not havo been one whit less ferocious. Of course he could not and did ?not anticipate the preoise shape of the measures which the Radi oats might adopt to prevent reconstruction. Tho Freedmen's Bureau Bill, which recently met its -death at your hands, wu not born in bis lietiree ; but I pronounce it a fool slander up'-n his memory to assert that he would have signed a bill so palpably in conflict with the Constitution and so plainly lutended to pro? mote the one bad purpose < f perpetual disunion. I did love Mr. Lincoln with a sincere and faithful af foction. and m J reverence for his memory is intensified by the horrible circumstances under which his high career was closed. Now that death has disarmed him -ot the powor to defend himself, his true friends should stand forth to vindicate his gool name II there be any insult upon bis reputation which they should re? sent more indignantly than another, lt ia the assertion that ho would have been the tool and instrument lo tl e hands of sooh men as those who now lead the heartless .and unprincipled o-n'est against you. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, WARD H. EAMON. TRI AX?BEFOREUJJL1TARV COMMISSION. FORTT-EIGHTH DAT. CTTAOKL, April 2, 1866. The Commission met at 10.30 A. M., and continued the trial of JAKES CBAWTOBD KJBTS, his son Roar ET KITTS, and ELISHA BTBZV. Captain E. A. Bray, 1st Alaine Battalion, a witness for the defence, being duly sworn, deponed as follows: I was lately in command at Walhalla; on the 8tli of January I left that placo for Sain bi ity, in Pic ];ens Dis? trict, with a sqnad of men; I arrested that night W. 8. Williams and his son Herbert; I then went to the house of Ur. Thomas Williams, four miles distant, and leaving n y horses hali a mlle from the house, went up to the house with eleven m?n, whom I deployed around the house; I called Hr. Thomas Willlama and asked him if there was a mao there named Largeot; he said that ho did not kno?; that there wis such a man there the evening before, and that the last he saw of him he went into that room (pointing to a oertain bedroom); one of my men went to the bedroom and opened it, and some one shot at him ; the soldier called and said, "He is in here;" I passed through the house to place my men, and as I stepped out some one made his escapo from the room, ran thr ugh the house, jumped over the fence, and ran into the woods near by, leaving his coat > nd pants; I asked a colored man if Largenl had any horses there, and he went and brought me a gray mare, brand? ed U. 8., and a sorrel marc not branded at a'l; I went to Williams' to arrest Largent, under orders to go into that neighborhood and arrest all persons supposed to be engaged in breaking np a colored man named Cato; I understood Largent would not bo arrested ; if he pre? ferred being taken deal, I was going to take him any way; I took the same precautions with otheri arrested that night that I did in regard to him. Question by Accused.-What was the character of Largent? The Judge Advocate objected to the question, as Lar gent's character cannot be proven when ho ls neither on trial nor a wit."**. Thu objection waa overruled. Answer.-The majority think he is a bad man : I noti? fied Largent thi?t I bad come to a-rest bim; as 1 pas ed through the house I said to him, I supposed to be Lar? gent, that if be fired again I would kUl him; that I meant to take him dead or alive; I had not called on bim to surrender before he fired the first shot; as my men f jllowed him they fired some twenty shots at him ; he fired more than once; I found in the pocket of his coat the letter of W. 8 Williams, given In evidence in this case on the 28th of March; tho sorrel mare died near Pendleton last Friday, from blind staggers. Being cross-examlaed by tho Judge Advocate, the witness said: The attempt to arrest Largent had nothing to do with the Brown's Kerry murder; I hf ard that E. Dickerson examined the sorrel mare at Walhalla; sho had lost two teeth on the lower left jaw. 1 ho evidence for the defence here closed. The Judge Advocate proceed?] to offer evidence in reply to the defence of the accused. W. P. Brown, a wltnc.is for the prosecution, deposed : Warroo Howell was in my omploy three mouths oet'ore tbe 8th October, attending to the Ferry, and taking the ferriage; I did not hear of his bad character until after the murder ; I never heard any of the witnesses in this case speak against ulm beforo tue murder, except Earle, Q st i on by Judge Advocate. Did Barlo have any? thing against Howell ? Answer.-Bo did. Qtieition by Judge Advocate.-What was it ? Tho accused, by their counsel, objected to tho ques? tion, nnleaa the witness id required to speak of bil own knowledge, hearsay not being admissible. Tl o Judge Advocate withdrew the question. Question by Judge Advocate.-Did the quarrel grow out of personal transactions bet reen Howell and Earle '.' Antver.-I only ktiow what I heard from tarlo. Question by Judg: Advocate.-What did Earle say : The accused objected to tho question, as lt introduced hearsay evidence, and thut ls not the best which the case admits ot The objection was overruled Antver.- He seemed tobe angry with Howoll for send? ing a company of soldiers by hts house to get corn and bacon, and for forcing a bushel or two of corn from his miller; I did not state In the S towera' case that I recog? nised tho voice and featurer of Keys, because I was not naked the question. Lemuel (colored), a witness for the prosecution, do posed : I did not drive the carriage to church on Sunday, the 8?fc October, as I stated in my previous examination, but it on the bun day before the 8th; on the 8th I ind t. - went to Anderson together; I did not expect to be asked these questions, and did not study on them. Question by Judge Advocate.-When you saw the party ride in on Monday morning, which ot them went to the lUble ? The accused, by their counsel, objected to the qios tion, as eliciting matter not responsive to the defenoe. The objection wss sustained. Lemuel deposed further: I was asked on my previous examination who genet ally made fire in Crawford Keys' room, and I said Joe; I don't know of my own know, ledge who made the ?ra on Uoodr.y moro lng, the 0th of October; it ls on my mind that all the horses were in tho ptablo on Sunday nicht, because I fed them; I don't recollect any pastures open at that time, except some whee* fields, which had been cut; one three-quarter, an c thor two, and a third between one and two miles from the houso; there was a com field in front of tho sUble, and only . part of the corn had been pulled; if the ho rs?, s had been put In the fl--la one-half mlle from the house they could not hare got into the corn field, as there was no gap : thors ia a fenco betwoen the nearest wheat field and the corn field, but it had no gate. Eveline (colored), a witness for the prosecution, de? posed : I am S3 years of age, and am the wif* of Lem? uel; I lived, on tho 8th Octwber, at Crawford Kays', and was at home that night; I heard Hiss Eleanor Keys call Eschol; Rachel was called three tmes 1 hat night A i-olored woman, Phyllis Byre rn, had como to see me, and wss talking about Edmond who bad got hurt that day ; H lie was there when Bichel waa called, and when thc carno ont of thc house spain, Lem called leach -1 first, and then I; as she did not Wjke, Lem told Betty to wake lier, which Betty did, and .H?chel went int ) tho houso; Lem was absent from home on tho Bth October; on the bund av previous he drove tho carriage to church ; the corn WUH not ail gn-hered from tho field by thu sta? ble on the 8th October; the nori-os could not run lu the auld by tile stable without gettiig in tho co>u; some time? master would turn th? borst? he rodo into fields of corn, for a little while, to pick up grass; I never kuew him to do so over night of a Huiiday. We were at that timo gathering corn sod chucking on the farm. Question by Judge Advocate.-What time did you get upon Monday morning, aud what did you see't Answer. -I got up a little before day on Monday morn? ing, and went ont as I generally do. At Oils point tbe accused, by their conn ?el, objected lo the quo-.tion ; the consideraron of the objection was postponed, and the Commission adjourned to meet on tho 3d hut, at 10.30 A. M.

Our last review closed ou a very dull and unsettled market, which has not materially changed during the week now under review, notwithstanding tba more fa vorable arMces received from Liverpool. These advices reported a better feeling in that market, and had tba ef? fect of strengthening holdors in the Northern markets: but with tko steady decline in Gold buyers were not dis? posed to submit to an advance here, ond the cons?quence has been that very little was done.

MEMPHIS, March SO.-COTTON.-The bayera abo a general disposition to purchase Cotton, and there a very active Inquiry, bat holders, who sall re strong confidence, in Cotton, sad look for higher pr than have prevailed lately, encouraged by the romi ably inspiring news from Liverpool, and bv tho p peet of oontinuedadvance there, refused generally part with lista except at an advance equivalent to handsome advance which took place under a ooh pr< Ising circumstances in Liverpool. The buyer, howe' waa obliged to look to New York rather than to Ll' pool; and while Liverpool ia vigorous, New York, qi arlng with gold di (acuities, and troubled dry goods i sarrassments, is as limp ss an oyster. That New 7 is able to respond to the Liverpool advance la no cert natter, and whether she I<M done so or not, the pul UspatcheB bave carefully avoided to tell ns.
