REVELS.
lilerestini mi Curious Revelations About
the Character of the Negro Senator.
Letter from John H. Morris, Colored, of
Leavenworth, Kansas.
Leavenworth, February 14. 170.
To the K.liior of the Louisville Courier
Journal :
My attention has been called to an
article in your issue of the :kl under
the ion deplume of "A Colored Man,"
in which the writer lauds II. R. Rev
els and gros-iy slanders me.
In consequence ol an old quarrel,
and that strange freak ol fortune, the
election of Revels to the Senate, I am
called upon to endure private slander
and public deti-acliotl.
This 1 must endure in silence, after
having been vindicated in a court of
justice, or, oy a puonc oeieuse, place
niysc-lt in seeming antagonism to my
race and party.
Self-preservation is the first law of
nature, and no good cause can be
served by sacrificing an honest man to
gloss the crimes of a notorious scoun
drel. Aud uow for this adventurous
ass w ho volunteers a gratuitous kick.
Mr. "Colored Man,'' why do you,
like a skulking savage, shoot your
poisoned arrous of detraction at me
from behind the covert of a non de
plume'
Own thy name and face me in the
sunshine. You say that
" Morris is as keen as a Damascus
blade, as vindictive as a Caiuanche, as
unrelenting in pur-uit of his object as
a sleuth-hound. He attacki-d Revel's
private character, his family relations,
his standing as a minister, from the
stump andthrough the powerful in
strumentality Ol the press. Revels
bore it until forliearance ceased to bo
a virtue, when he appealed to the law.
But he gt no redress, for the jury was
uacked. 1 have seen a letter from
the judge presiding at thetrial aud le-
i.taii TKiu4'i.
tin riutnuiui uui ...j..
gal gentlemen oi undounied res pec

was not doue Keveis in tne case, and
that the finding of the jury w as at va
riance with the facts adduced. All
fair-minded men were satisfied that
the charge of malfeasance was promot
ed through malice, was uot sustained,
and that Morris was guilty of gross
libel."
As a general and comprehensive de
nial of the above, I submit the follow
ing documents:
" Leavuxvvouth City, Feb. 14, ls.70.
"John II. Morris, Esq.:
"Dear rim: Having been shown a
! communication in the Louisville
Cuss an Juswuuf over the signature
of ' A Colored Mau,' in which certain
ialsehoods are freely indulged in, I
feel called upon, in simple ju-tice to
myself, having been ' the Judge pre
siding at the trial.' to deny that the
'jury was packed,' and that 1 at that
time, or at any time since, wrote a let

him, in respect to the said tritd; or
that I at any time, either directly or

" We, the uuder-igned, were jury
men la the case of the .State of Kansas
vs. John 11. Morris, in which one
Hiram R. Revels was complaining
witness. Said suit was instituted by
the Sijid Revels in the form of a crim
inal prosecution, for an alleged libel
in charging the said Revels with em
liezziiug the funds of his church; with
laisehood cad svypoeriay, in a certain

" The defendant (Morris) took the
ground that the alleged libel was true,
and proved to cur satisfaction that
the said Hiraia 11. Pfcewsjs had em
liezzled certain lunds belonging to his
church, and has been guilty of false
hood, and bad unnecessarily forced
a quarrel on the said Morris, thus
compelling him to act in vindication
of his own character.
In short, we found that the al

This statement of one-half of the

found readily shjned it, seeming glad

thai the above uamud entleioci were

from here, sending lam to Louisvi

It is a peculiarity ot this case that
my cause is so strong that it seems
Improbable. The thoughtful reader
win ask, how could any man of com
mon sen-e. being guilty, i.,ri a quar
rel and then appeal to a court or, in
olliT words, how did it come to pass
tliat I accused him of stealing, and
yet he " unnecessarily forced a tpuarrel
upon Morris'."
My answer is that Revels ha so
common sense: that he is the strang
est compound of unditfuant cunning
and plausible depravity that 1 ever 1
1 have for vears helped the church
in her financial operations, and had
handled thousands of dollars of her
funds. I commenced to suspicion
Revels, and foared to be impinged
with him, and 1 own to a little preju
dice against sasaMag,
I exprcsv-d my suspicions privately
to a few, trot did not accu-e. Hearing
of this. Revels asked for an interview,
which took place in me presence 01
two trust.s of the church. Iu this
iuterview ReveLs evinced a very con- :
eiliaiorv disjiosition, owmil that he
had miule mLsstateiuenUs ulniut the
llnancial attair- of the church, aud
had thus rendered himself liable to
suspicion; but went ou to give me an
.
eitplanation that was so sKilifully con

I doubt, and, being related by marriage, j
and for many other reasons not dsh-!
! ii.g to quarrel with him; and, in any
eent, having averted suspicion from j
mj self, 1 gave him the benefit ot the
doubt, and fully, frankly and une- '
tiulvocallv disavowed my suspicions:
told him that 1 thought 1 had
wronged him iu expressing those sen- i
tiroeoL and promised to right him. ;
I .This i procet-h-sj to do; but, before t
I could see all the partios to whom I ;
bad exore.ed my susnicions, I hiard
that Revels vas k-oiug to denoumv
1 me through the press

1 sought him, i
i.roved l.v IVitt UUlUsse:- IXiai 1 liao in
good fetlh U-.ni exonerating him,
pointed out to loin the lolly of appeal-
ins to the prcs-, ue-n onereu to wrne
a joint card, gmt, nnaiiy, neggeu mm
if he would go to the press, to leave
the door open for an houorahle adjust
ment. He would neither be counseled
nor persuaded, and the next day, Sun
day, March 31st, 1S67, his "Card to the
public" appeared in the (.hnservative.
In this erticle he ignored the amende
hQiioruuie I had made, aud asserted
that 1 had accused him of embezzling,
etc., and went on to abuse me in a
venomous manner.
1 replied gentlv; exonerated him at
a public meeting; induced influential 1
friends of our race to intervene in the
iaterest of peace, and invited him to
dinner, etc. But, while I was thus
vainlv laboring to placate him, he was
secretly getting out circulars against
me.
The secret of his publishing his
card and persisting in t he quarrel was
that he thought me estopped by my
suspicions from making any defense.
In the end I went back to my first
suspicions; inv -tigated, found what
1 sought, and published a little pam
phlet. He sued me, and employed
two able lawyers in the prosecution.
But the foregoing facts, added to
that other materia; fact, that he did
steal the money of the Church, justi
fied thelury in acquitting m, an I in
saying tliat he "forced a quarrel on
Morris."
And now this malicious fool, a 'tor
being morally branded by a judicial
verdict, and kicked, by successive
stages, from here to Mississippi, has,
by some evil genius, been elevated to
the United States Senate, there to be
the l.aue of his race and the reproach
of repuM.can institution-.
John J; , :. assailing the char
acter, but conceding the ability of
Henry Clay, said: "He shines and he
stinks, and he stinks and he shines,
like a rotten mackerel by moonlight."
With Revels it is all stink and no
shine.
in the interest of patriotism, and for
the moral elevation of my people, I
could wish that this good fortune had
fallen to '.he lot of a man of command
ing intellect and moral worth; and
fcr the credit of our race I claim that
wj have more than one such among
us. Joan H. Mnagmt

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FUND.
Startling Disclosures as to How it wf.s
Manipulated, and by Wnom.
In the ArrKALof Friday morning
we gave a synopsis by telegraph of the
startling disclosures made iu reference
to the manipulation of the Agricul
tural College Fund. The fbllowiug an
the particulars, so far a they have
come to light. We copy them from
the Nashville Banner off Friday:
" As mot of the Banner' readers
have doubtlesa learned from our re
ports of the legislative proceedings, a
special committees appointed by the
House, and of which lr. Russell, d
Rutherford and Bedford, is chairman,
is now engaged iu investigating the
disposition made of the Agricultural
College scrip, turned over hv virtue
of an act ol Congress to the State mi
tborittes in lotW. This actio repre
sented o00,000 acns of laud donated
by Congress to Tinnessee, as to other
States, for the purpose of establishing
an agricultural college or colleges. It
w.-s sold under authority of the Legis
lature in the year above mcntioued,
by Secretary Fietchr and William
Bosson. The investigating commit
tee has been looking into the circum
stances attending suid sale, and, we
understand, suiiieieut has already
been developed to seriously compro
mise Secretary Fletcher, Boat ai, and,
perhajis, otliers. It la charged thai,
while these parlies pretended ho sell Lhe
scrip to the highest niader, after due
notice bad been given, but that the;,
really dispo-ed of it to one Lewi;, ah
Ohio speculator at considerably teas
than its market value. In fact the
proof on this point is alleged to be 90
direct aud positive that the comaiir. ee
ore very confident of proving a clear
case of official collusion and fraud.
Two prominent bankers of this city,
and one in Murfreesboro, have al
ready shown that they bid at leasl
five cents higher than L -wh, aud that
Fletcher and Bosson were fully aware
of the fact. By the ttme the com
mittee Ls ready to report, they will,
we hear it hinted, be In possession of
evidence that will make the Agri
cultural College scrip business secoud
only iu infamy to the robbery of
the sacred school fund. Not a Jink
iu the chain will be missing when
the proper time comes for the start
ling developments of which we have
spoken.
Secretary Fletcher's official conduct
in other rasjiects is also meeting the
attention of the committee. It is
eharjf.-d that he has been in the babul
of demanding aud receiving onedollar
each for affixing the seal of the State to
bonds issued; that he had not tiie
slightest shadow of authority for so
doing, and that he had thus extorted
fully fi'.UOO from the part i; who re
ceived the b .nds ail of which w ill
undergo rigid investigation.

was sboat to be served, the servant,
whose name is Francois, came into
the bed-room where Madame Lom
bart was attending to her husband,
who for years has been reduced to
; . at his days in an arm chair.
An altercation took place between
the n-vstre w and the footman, ami the
latter, who was drunk, went out to
the diainai meaa and returned with a
carving knife, with which he very
nearly cut off Madame Lombart's
head. The husband, unable to stir
from his chair, saw his wife murdered
almost within anil's length of him.
When she was quite dead, Francois
rushed tw the kitchen, where he found
the cook and a little boy from the por
ter's lodge below stairs. Their creaui3
brought to the spot the porter's wile
and the cook of the Viscountess de
Pits James, a lady living in the -iinf
house. The latter woman attempted
to disarm Francois, but he disabled
her by inlla'ting a very severe wound
in her throat. The concierge then fled
with her SOB, and taereaSMMS the man
struck with the knife at his fellow
servant. She, instinctively putting
her hands to protect her head, u--eeived
a telllMS wound on her wri-t,
the hand being nearly cut off. Ths
neighbors speedily called in the po
lice, and the eaaSsla was arrested.
Ainsnumy the Po ianu Laws.
iur readers, without one exception,
we presume, will be in favor of Mr.
Bingham's new bill, amendatory of
the laws relating to the rates of post
age, it provides that half ounce h-l-lei.s
shall go lor two cents, and that
every additional half ounce or frac
tion of it. shall pay one cent addi
tional ; all newspapers and periodicals,
one cent for four ounces, and one cent
additional for every additional ounce
or fraction. Papers circulating within
one hundred muoo uf their place of
publication, or in the Stale 01 t,-ti,i-v
where published, are to go free; and
also exchanges between publishers.
Dror letters one cent, and an addi
tional cent for each half ounce. Man
uscripts intended for publication, not
e.si j-edinsr two ounces, three cents,
and one cent additional for every ad
ditional ounce. It also provider that
the Postmaster General shall establish

Wfman Suffrage.
In two Territories Wyoming and
Utah we have woman suffrage a re
ality; and of these two triumphs the
latter is infinitely the more import
ant. There arc very few women In
Wyoming, but in Cfah they outnum
ber the men. - We repeat, therefore,
says the New York 'Jimer, our sug
gestion of the other day, that a great
work is open to woman's suffrage at
the very outset. We have often been
promis..! that the women of Utah
would throw off their present degra
dation by tho aid ol the haliot. Now,
Mr. Cuilom's bill contemplates the
employment of forty thousand sol
diers or lees to put down polygamy ;
what if fcrty thousand women or less
anticipate lilm, and put dowu polyga
my by the ballot instead of the bullet?
The result of the first experiments in
women's voting will be watched for
with the greatest interest and curi
osity. Another trial for murder iias taken
place at Paris. The victim in this
case was a dealer in and, named Del
bor, and the accused, his utep-con.
Berton, aged 'ii- The former had
marred iu i-'-i the mother of the
prisoner, and the two men lived on
bad terms, Rerlon constantly fearing
that all his mother's property would
be squandered by Delhor. Another
cause ot jealousy was that they wa
in the same trade. On the 1-Mh of Oc
tober last the elder man, while enter
ing his stable, was struck from behind
on the head with a hammer, and died ':
five days after, declaring that his mur
derer was Berton. A verdict of guilty
WM now returned against this latter,
and he win sentenced to hard labor

Wasiii.ygton-, February 19. House.
The House went into a Committ-.-e
of the Whole on the Legislative Ap

appropriating 991.00U for a branch
mint at Carson City was agreed to,
Mr. Dawes remarking that he would
call the yeas and nays in the House.
Mr. O'Neil moved an appropriation
of jliW.OOO for a Bureau of Education,
and tending action thereon the com
mittee rose.
Mr. Mct'reary introduced, a bill to
provide a stay of execution in certain
eases. Iteferred.
This bill is intended to afford some
relief against the operations of the le
gal tender decision. It gives a stay
of execution on all judgments founded
on debts contracted prior to the llth
of July, 1302, the date of the passage
of the iirst legal teuder act, for from
oue to 1 ur years, according to the
BtabUhf. But it provides that if, aft r
a suit and judgment, the eredi'or will
receive his ay incurrency,there shall

Mr. Garfield, from the Committee
on Bute, reported the following rule:
" The Committee on Elections, for the
XLIst Congres-, shall consist of fifteen
uioioiT.s, uud eacn contested case
may be assigned by the Chairman to
a sic-eial coiflmittee of three members
th.-reof, for their exansive considera
tion, and such special committeeshati
reji irt its decision directly to the
House." He Utadu some re
marks in supKirt of the
proposed rule, and said it was under
stood, although it could not be so sta
ted in the rule, that the Speaker
would appoint five members to repre
sent the Democrats, and ten members
to represent the Republicans, and the
snh-jcaataaittees of three would con
sist of two Keoublieaus and oue Dem
ocrat.
The rule proposed by Mr. Paine,
fronfthe Election Committee, would
be too much a matter of choice, and
the Committee on Bules wa- not wit
liug to report it. He spoke thesenti
ments of the Committee when he said
the whole practice of settling contest
ed election crises was one that all must
deplore. It was a sad state of affairs
to have a judicial question decided on
strict party lines.
Further remarks were made by
Messrs. Cox and Brooks, from the
same Committee, who assented to the
report although they did not entirely
approve of it, but because the systasn
proposed was better than tne exis:ing
one.
Mr. Stevenson also spoke in support

and the House agaiu went into a Com

M hat is technically called the Sickles
correspondence with the Spanish au-

in these papers, sty they will throw a

HAVANA.
The Murdered Aaericaa Th Remaiss
Buried ia a Nude State.
Tno Assassins Still at Large, aad no Efforts
Made for their Arrest.
Prm the New York World of the Wth.
Havana, February 10. No arrests
have as yet been made of the volun
teers who on Muuday murdered Mr.
Isaac Greonwald, aud so severely
wounded the two American citizens,
Hugh Johnson and TnomasK. Foster,
aud 1 still believe none will ever bo
made. Captain-General liodas Ls
anxious to have the guilty parti--s
brought to justice, but, instead of be
ing seconded by the voluuteers, 1
have good reasons tor saying he is
opposed by the majority of 'them. lie
har offered a reward of $10U0 for the
arrest of the man who first assaulted
Mr. Grecnwald, I Hit has neglected to
put in hU description of the man that
be wore upon his hat the cockade of
the volunteers, an omission that in
part justifies the volunteers in screen
ing their guilty companion.
TUK EMI. IKK OF VII. CiKEEXWALll's
FAMILY.
As Mr. Greenwald has left a wife
and seven children in New York city
in rather straightened circumstances,
Geueral Rodas has contributed !,000
toward tneir assi-tancc, ami the 'i. i.,
Kspanat has started a sulwcription to
trehlo t ae sum, for there Ls a minority
of highly respectable Spaniards who
deeply regret the murder as well as
all the otaer lawless and bloodthirsty
proceedings of the volunteers. And
well they may ! The more the atlack
ol last buuday upon our countrymen
is sifted, the worse it appears.
AX EFFORT TO SAVE FOSTER.
The afaaaah) af Forbyn Jauson, the
French Consul General here, was pass
ing near by in hLs carriage, as the vol
unteers were engaged in their bloody
ware ite tried to save Mr. r oster,
who stepped toward the carriage, but
was brought down to the ground, by a
couple of bayonet stabs from as many
infuriated volunteers, before he could
reach the Consul. Mr. Jauson Sarys
the whole affair was of the most dis
graceful, outrageous unci unjustifiable
nature on the part of the volunteers,
and other witnesses, including the es
timable lady of the British Consul
General, repent the statement.
REFUSAL TO DELIVER W GREEN
WALD'S UoDY.
But worse than the murder, or at
least meaner and more scandalizing,
Ls the after proceedings of some of tne
Spanish officials. Mr. Greenwald's
lifeless remains were first taken to tlie
office of the Aleade of the Taron
Ward. There the official mentioned
declared he must have a sort of au
topsy of the body held, liefore it could
be delivered up to hLs friends. These,
of course, had to agree to this, hut be
fore departing from the office notified
the Aleade that the body was wanted
for embalmment, to be afterwards sent
to New York. The Aleade made no
reply, which was ominous of what
was to occur. When the friends re
turned for the body they were sur
prised to learn that it had already
been buried. They thereupon asked
for a permit to disinter the body, but
this was bluntly refused, and they had
to report the c.tse to Captain-General
l'.txbLs, and get an order from his Ex
cellency to the Aleade before the latter
would give the permit. Then at the
cemetery the priest in charge in
in charve in his
! tur" tec'ame au obstacle, refusing to
consent to the disinterment, so that
Gawul Bsdaa had again to be applied
to.
AX UNCHRISTIAN I5CRIAL.
On Tuesday the body was disinter
red, and thei Mr. Gratia waHFs Mends
were horrified not only at finding the
body b;iried in that p.irt of the grave
yard reserved to paupers and male
factors, but that it had been burii
uncqrffned and ftarc naked. When
murdered, Mr. Greenwald had on new
and fineclothing. This had all been
stolen by the Spaniards, :;nd akrfowl-
age of this fact no doubt wai what
impelled the Aleade and the priest to
so strenuously oppose the -disinterment.
MORE OUTRAGES OF TIIE DEAD.
I understand that nearly all the per
sons murdered of late by the volun
teers have been interred like Mr.
Greenwald hurriedly, among crim
inals, uncoffined and naked. As the
American citizen, Vicente Daumy,
murdered on the '2d, is of the number,
his case, Joi tied to that of Mr. Green
waid, should at once induce the
American government to exact expla
nations from (hat ot Spam as to thi-se
disgraceful, horrible proceediug-. Mr.
(in-euwald's body having been em
balmed, leaves to-lay per steamer
Bienville for New ork, wle-re, let
me hope, the Americans will turn out
in mass at his funeral as a pmtest
against the outrageous conduct of the
Havana volunteers and certain Span
ish officials.
lSlMCNATION- AT HAVAM.
! Captain Parker says that eut In
: dignation was o pressed bv all classes
j of persons in Havana at the perpe
ftrators of the crime. The firm which
employed Mr. Greenwald say that his
tamily shall never suffer Irom poverty,
and there ls no doubt that although
Mr. Greenwald's ikiuily can never be
comforted for hisloss,it will be placed
beyond the reach uf want.
