WASHINOTOX , July 20. Jfy journoi
through the Southern states lias beet
full ot interest , to myself , at least. ]
hare seen some things that \vcro sad
dou'ing , some that were amusing , aiu
other things that excited my indignu
lion , with much that is gratifying am
enconraginir. But I must cluse tlii ;
scries of letters , referring only to i
few tilings for which I have not fount'
space hitherto.
I have been in the country at n dis
tance from the railroads , and liavt
scon a great deal of the life of tin
people , especially of the niiddlo ant
poorer classes , nnd have lived amonjL
them in ways that usually appeared tt
prevent or overcome any tcoling of rc >
straint or distrust on their part. ]
have also been in many families of tin
"best poodle" of both political parties ,
in the various states , and have ovory'
where received letters of introduction
to leading citizens. These were frcelj
proffered by men to whom I expressed
the wish "to BCO the south as it is , '
and they were often of much service ,
but some of them I did not use , because
cause I found that I could obtain all
needed information by other meaiu
vat less cost of timo. Very few per
sons in the south learned that I was r
a newspaper correspondent. I had
plenty of other ways of accounting foi
my journey , but it was not often nee'
ossary to account for it at all. It maj
bo that some persons Would have
been loss frank if they had kuowi
what use would bo made of the information
mation they so freely nnd courteous ! }
Aided mo to obtain , though man }
prominent southern men cxprcssuc
the wish that I would tell the pcoph
of the north exactly how I foum
things everywhere. I have incurrec
no obligation of secrecy , except that
of course , I do not use names , or it
any way designate individuals. Tin
.southern people , of nil classes , nn
generally so social , so fond of talking
that I liad rarely any need of specia
effort , or means of introduction , t <
enable mo to obtain access to any om
-whom I wished to see.
I had been in the south during tin
war as a union soldier , that at tha
time I was an enthusiastic ymuij.
.abolitionists , etc. I did this in orde
to learn whether such an announce
inent would produce any change ol
feeling or utterance , but was nevei
able to observe any diminution of interest
torest of frankncst on the part of in ;
southern acquaintances. At othe
times , when entering the circle aroum
the stove in a hotel , I began by , aay
ing that I had explored portions o
the south with the soldiers of such o
such a union general , out this enl ;
led to much telling of war stories b ;
all of us. I conclude that if i
norther man , in visiting a , southon
town , should go first'toseo the ncg'n
local politicians , many of whom ari
disrcptutablo fellows , and shouli
spend a day or two in leading a com
pany of them from ono | saloon ti
another , would not afterward be received
ceived very dordially by the rcspccta
white people of the place. I hav
usually called on decent people first
prominent white citizens , or the odu
catcd colored clergymen or teachore
and have then found no obstacles ii
the way of observations of oven th
lower strata of the life of the towi
and the region about it ,
I have conversed with the governor
of five of the southern states , witi
most of the state superintendents c
public instruction , and many nthe
state oflicers. I , Inn o visited foil
state prisons , and have inspected several
oral gangs of convicts working in th
country on railroads , etc. I hav
visited several county jails and alnif
houses , three asylums for the insane
and many colleges and schools of a
grades. My plan has boon to take nc
body's word for anything that I coul
ace for myself , and to report impart
.ally and accurately what I saw an
heard , with the impressions made U ]
on my own mind by everything.
TJIliU : OWN TESTIMONY.
Whatever has been said in thei
letters of an unfavorable or severe n
turo concerning any class of persons
drawn from what such persons liu ;
themselves said to mo. I have oftc
reported what people say to mo of ca (
other , but it will not do to accc ]
what is said by any class in the soul
as an adequate account of "ThoSoutl
ern Situation , " Some allowance ft
natural misunderstandings or for pa
tial views is often , perhaps alway
necessary. What I have related i
democratic interference with ncgi
voting was derived wholly from doni' '
crats themselves , who in some di
tancea avowed that they were actii
in such interference , and in othe
told me that the local leaders of the
own party managed matters as I hai
described. Such unfavorable accoui
as is given in these letters regardii
many republican ollico-holdors nt
politicians is derived from what the
men have themselves said to mo ,
friendly , careless conversation. Tin
usually appeared to bo glad "to s
somebody from the north , " as tin
said , and they often unbosomed then
solves in a manner and degree that
first somewhat astonished mo.
For some reason which I cann
always determine , democrats in tl
Bouth usually appear extremely r
served when I nsk them about tl
character and methods of action
southern republican oflicials and po
ticians of the present time. Tin
freely express their horror and di
guat regarding the state of thin
which prevailed , as they say , son
years ago , during "the carpot-b ;
period , " but in regard to existing co
diticuiB , even in cases of most obvio
unfitness and impropriety of oflici
character and conduct , they nssu
me , with much emphasis , that "the
natters have crcatly improved withit
a few few years. " None of the southern
orn men with whom 1 have talked np
war lo fuel that there is nnythini ; in
olerable in thr state of things whirl
[ have criticised pertaining to tin
character and methods of republicai
> oliticians. They express much tat
sfaction on account of the improve
went that lias already taken place
and are In the habitt of saying tlm
'everything will rome right will
ime ; but I have scon things tha
10 northern community would Ion ;
endure. As to the negroes , it has no
) con necessary to take nnybodys ac
count or opinion of them. 1 havi
seen n great deal of life , nnd liavi
studied their thought ami clmractc :
vith deep nnd friendless interest.
PAllTIAI. AND IMFAIIT1AL VIEWS ,
A most snd and discouraging feat
ire of the relation between the twi
races in the south is the character am
norals of the young women of tin
solored race. Almost everybody speaki
lopolessly of this subject , and it it
rngical to see the feeling of the besl
olorcd men in reg.ml to it. I cannel
loubt. after the widest observation ,
hat it Would bo better for Uio south-
rn white pcoplo if there were nt
legroes in the country. Hut the
egroes are here , nnd are as truly ; i
iart of the people nnd of the country
xs the whites themselves : nnd they
inyo , of course , the sam rights ns
itizcns. Jiut it was both a crime and
blunder to briny ; them hero at first ,
nd the evil consequences of that
rong will long follow the south ami
lie whole country. I can now fully
inderstand how almost nny imngina-
) lo account may honestly bo given ol
'the state of things in the south. "
tlnat traveler ! } here meet only ono 01
wo classes of persons , and nro apt tc
ogar i one or two classes of facts as
orrcctly representing the state of the
ountry. But no one brief statement
r picture can adequately describe tin
outh. Many different and often coir
rndictory facts must be noted , nnt
lie eniot or final impression is often r
latter of relative emphasis , nnd ol
lie competence of the observer tc
udgo of the comparative significance
f many soocrato and conflicting ten
cncics.
Ono is in danger everywhere in tin
outh of recoivinu entirely too mucl
nformation from "tho most intelligent
itizons. " If a traveler puts hinisel
nto their hands he will receive pro
use hospitality , but ho will have litth
pportunity for independent observa
ion. Only n man who will wca :
'ough ' clothes , n part of the time n
east , and who can sot the commoi
> coplo to talking can see the south ai
t is. At the same time it isof course
iccessary to see the best people , too
it their houses nnd "in society ; " am
any well-behaved man can do this ii
; ho regions which I have visited , ni
natter what his political opinions ma ;
)0. I can express any political senti
ncnt or opinion freely at the tables o
ending men in all southern statespro
vided only that I recognize the re
[ uirements which are universal in po
ito society and that I converse will
ho women. Tlio men will listen an <
> articipato , but in their homes and it
ocicty the women "queen it" mor
lalpably than is usual in the north
ind the homage or deference constant
y rendered to them is more pronoune
ed than in New England. They ar
lover "left out of tlio talk" when the ;
are present.
THE NEOUO FU05I TWO STANDPOINTS
I have been strongly impressed b ;
.ho general hardness and unsympi :
feeling of northern men livin
n the south in regard to the negroes
Native southerners of character ant
josition do not often appear to mo t
eel unkindly toward the negroes
hough , of course , they often rugnn
hem contemptuously nnd fail to trea
hem ns they ought. But northen
ncn who have gene south since th
war almost universally ( those whom
invo seen ) speak of the negro wit !
reat harshness - a kind of cold ha
: red , and what I shall call cruelty
[ have seen and heard so much of thi
: hat would have appeared incredibl
jcforo , that it gives me sometimes
dud of nightmare fear that rcsidenc
11 the south might transform the IIIOE
.ihilanthropic . abolitionist into a tyrau
jf merciless severity. Intcrestin
questions arise hero , but I have no
time to discuss them.
Near Vicksburg I found n youn
planter from Minnesota , who worli
many negroes. I asked him nboi :
their quality as laborers , nnd ho n
plied that they are almost worthies :
"unless you whip them"well. " " Ho1
do you mean that you whip them ? "
asked : "Do you light with th > m an
whip them because you are the bci
man , ns white men fight in Minm
sotn ? " "Oh , no , " said ho , contompti
ously , "go nt them with a club , or
heavy whip-stock ; knock thorn dow
nnd beat them as you would n mule ,
"But I thought the day for that vrt
over in this country. 1 should thin
they would leave you. Why do the
not go away , go to some other man , <
out of this region ? " "Oh , well , the
do go away to the woods for n day e
two ; but what can they do ? The
families are here , and they don
know where to go. Besides , I sliouldn
let 'em go , if I didn't want ti
The dogs would soon find 'em ,
"Then , " Isaid , "I would kill you. " j
this ho lunched snceiingly , and r
plied : "Mobbo you would , but yr
ain't n nigger. A nigger's just in h
place when he has a whiteman to dm
him , an' they always need knock i
down occisionally. " Ho went enl
say that ho had found that only tl
harsh slaveholders made money in tl
old times. "An1 that's the right wj
now ; work 'em to death an' git mor
There's plenty of 'em. " On my e :
pressing my abhorrence ho said ; "Yr
wouldn't bo hero a year till you won
Buy the same things. All northei
men talk just as you do when tin
first come down hero. I did inyBel
My father was a red hot abplitionu
but I tell you u nigger has no affectir
no gratitude , no heart. Every ono
'em will steal They understand not
ing but n club. "
HUNTING MEOKOK8 WITH IXJUH.
In Mississippi I found a republic !
ofticial who hires prisoners from tl
authorities and employs them in vni
ous kinds of labor. The convic
work under guard , nnd occasional
some of them try to escape. Most
them are negroes. When they ri
away the employer and his guar
chase them with dogs. Ho usoa
pack of hounds to follow the man 1
the scent. These would not attai
the fugitive , but they are accompani
by n powerful "catch-dog , " thavil
tear n man in pieces in a tow minute !
if the Hying , hunted wretch is unabh
to ascend "u tree before the tcrribh
brute is upon him. Just before ]
was in that neighborhood a ruimwaj
negro convict had played a shrowt
trick liicli enabled him to make
his escape , for that time at least
food the hounds on his trail , he
struck across the country foi
the railroad. When ho reached
tlio railroad the dogs wore in plait
sight across the fields , nnd were rapid
ly gaining on him. Half n milo awa }
ho saw an express tr.iin approaching ,
Ho know the dogs would follow hit
scent closely , so ho ran to nicot the
train , which , but a moment after he
had stopped from the track , ran eivei
the dogs , killing them all. I must dt
the people of that region the justice
to say that , although many of them
s.xw nothing shocking in the practice
of hunting runaway negroes witli
dogs , their sympathies were all witli
the fugitive on this occasion. Thej
were glad that ho had outwitted hia
pursuers , and talked much about "the
nigger that was too many for Captain
Sei-aml-Ko. " This "Captain" is n
northern man , and I thought ho felt
some degree of shame when 1 ex
pressed my disgust at what I had
heard , but ho insisted that my senti-
ninntal view of the matter was absurd.
"How else am 1 to catch tin
" ho said. Anil
niggo-.s , then ?
some time nHerward in talking
with n prominent eloniocr.it ol
Cnero , Texas , of this occurrence in
Mississippi , when I remarked that 1
felt the more indignant because the
man was a northern man and a repub
lican , my Texas acquaintance politelj
remonstrated , saying that my feeling
Hcomcel to him mere sentiment , "stir
prising fiom ix gentleman so sensible
as yourself ; " and ho added , "How
else was ho to catch the nigger ? " Sev
eral northern ladies in the Mississippi
region where the incident occurred
told mo of the inexpressible horroi
the first time they saw this man will :
his dogs pursuing a negro. It was
just at dawn on a beautiful Sabbatl
morning. They could not at first be
lieve what they were told about the :
hu.it , never having heard anything
of the kind.
FOLITICAIi FA11LK.S.
In Mississippi , also , I was told by f
number of northern people of an ac
count sent to the northern press dur
ing "tho Hayes campaign , " which lo
cated nn atrocious political outrage n
the place which I was then visiting
These persons sooined reputable , am
they all affirmed that nothing of the
kind had ever occurred there. I in
quired regarding the author of tin
dispatch , and learning that ho was
still living a few miles away , I wcnl
to see him. Ho laughed when I tolei
him my errand , took a t call chow o
tobacco , and , crossing his feet on the
top of tlie table before him , begat
talking of the affair in an easy , fluent ,
indifferent style , which scoinnd to in
dicate that he was glad to have some
body to talk with , and would as liel
talk of that subject as any other ,
"Then the dispatch was not realb
" Isaid. "Well. " ho
true ? . replied
"it was true as to the spirit of tin
South generally at that time. " "Uu
why did you say that such and sucl
things happened at a particular place
if they did not. " "Well , now
ou kuow it vroulel not b
of any account to say , n
such a time , that there wn
ots o' devilish feeling in th
jouth. But ib rather wakes pcopl
up to tell them that something's beoi
done at a place that they've heard of. '
Hut it wixs no ! true. " 13utho though
.ho use of a fable or parable was jua
iliablo under the circumstances , be
cause it was the only way togivopoin
or effectiveness to any account of th
condition of the south at that time
All writers does pretty much th
; amo thim. " , " ho urged ; "thoy hav
o. " "Oh , I hope not , " I said. "Well
low , if you lived down hero awhil
ou'd find out wo have to light th
devil with lire. " The northern pec
ilo who told mo of this occummci
voro good republicans , and they wor
specially indignant about the fabric :
, ion , because it alarinod some of the :
lorthcrn friends who had been pre
paring to remove to that rci'ion , bu
wore now frightened trom their pur
: ) oso.
OF IMMIOHANTH.
I have not boon able to find nn
"feeling against the north , " or again
northern people in the regions that
liavo visited , and so far as that is coi
corned , I should have no fear or n
luctanco in going to ony part of tli
south wl'ich I have seen , if for an
reason I wished to emigrate to tin
portion of our country. But man
people are going south with no adi
quato forethought , or knowledge (
the country. There is n side <
southern character and life with whic
sucli persons are very likely to bccon
acquainted. There are many me
"in business" nearly everywhere i
the south who uro of the same typo i
the author of the following fraterni
utterance. I heard of him ns one <
the fiercest fighters against us throug
the whole war , nnd wont to BCD hin
When I announced myself ns a ' 'Yai '
kce invader" ho bhook hands heart ! !
and replied : "I'm a roconstructe
rebel. Wo fought till the fight wi
all whipped out of us. I rather lili
the men that whipped us , Tell n
your people to coma down her
They're just ni welcome ns our be
fiionds , an' we'll cheat the eye teel
out of 'em "
In one of the principal cotton stat
I saw a young man from the nort.
well educated nnd energetic , who hi
this ixperiunce : A planter wl
owned a large tract of unimprovi
land decided to "go into sheep. " I
said to this young man , "I will fu
nisli money ; you furnish labor ; \
will go into partnership nnd rai
sheep and si i uro the profits , " T
young man agreed to do thin , worki
nurd for n year nnd a half clearii
and forcing land and putting the nc
plantation in order. Then the pt
pnetor said there had been a cons !
erable loss on the sheep , but us !
felt n special interest in the you
man , ho would not coino upon hi
for any of the money lei
and he would allow the you
man to work for him to p
for the supplies which tie h
received from tlio plantation store dt
ing the partnership. When I saw t
young follow ho had been at wo
nearly a year , paying for these BU
plies. Of course ho should have h
wages from the first , but ho did n
think of that , because * he "was
slmro the profits. " The planter sol
the sheep and hnd a line now plant. !
tion lor cotton nnd more than t
years labor which hnd cost him enl
this young man's board and clothing
Many southern men have a fovem
desire to make money. They need ii
and northern immigrants who bring i
nro welcome.
INDUCEMKNTS ANI ) DIUWIU' K * .
There is , indeed , the strongest de
sire for immigration everywhere ii
the south , and there are real induce
incuts for young people with mvul
nerablo digestion , and who nro willni ;
to work hard nnd live roughly , am
who can resist the unfavorable in
lluences arising from thochangcd con
ditions of lifo. But I have seen ninn ;
young men front the north who ar
not strong onoimh in moral equipment
mont for Hfo in "n region wlie > ro th
poorest man can have n harem of hi
own of nny extent almost wilhou
cost. " The frequent "lynchim ; * ' am
executions by mob process m man ;
pnrts of the mmth furnish stroiii ; rea
sons for nluctanco on the put o
1101 thorn people and capitalists to mi
urnto to those regions. I ba\o bevi
in two places in the south reoe < ntlj
where t r angcmonts were in pronto-1
for hanging negroes who had not boei
trit'd. In ono of these places the no
Krncs was hanged BOOH afte :
1 was then1 , so the nmvs
papers pay. 1 liavo no
iieard from tlio other. In the firs
town the hanging was delayedbi-causi
two of the leading business nii'iireri
absent. "They will never for ivo us , '
their friends said , "if wo allow thii
thing to go elf while they're away , '
As it is nearly always the cau , tin
newspapers said the hanging ui s ilniu
by "unknown persons. " Now , I allirn
that nearly everybody in that to\u
know who composed the mob , 01
lynching party , for nearly evoryliod ;
was concerned ! in the preparations
which were openly made ; and 1 an
convinced that the perpetrators o
these mob-murders nro Usually wol
known citizens. I ndvisp northori
ucoplo to mnrk the regions wliur <
these things are done , mid avoid them
And as there are lynchinjis and mob
outrages in various parts of the nortl
sometimes , I ndviso southern peopl
to mark the regions disgraced b
these lawless proceeding , and avol
them.
