P.ECONSTRrCTION?NEGRO SUFFRAGE
The problem of the times is the diso?T?ry of
the speediest and easiest way ot tnoroughly
re-ti'xbliibiiig the authority ot the General
Government oyer the South?that w, in the
minds and hearts of tJie people of the South. ^
Tfobody who pay ? 'air 8hare of the en?r-"!
mens taxation which this war has necessarily
brought on us, ?r wh0 ha# ehildr*n t0 ,eave
behind, i? anxious to perpetuate military rule
anywhere in our land, unless he be a shoddy. !
Ite: a person who fattens and battens on the
opportunities for plunder Incident to the un
settled state of society which civil war engen- |
ders. Tbere are thousands such people un. i
Jortunately, some seeking plunder through phi
ianthropbic protessions, and the rest through
the Infl uence of their claims toexcessive Union
patriotism. Together, they constitute almost
the only remaining bar to the restoration of the
fnion. Thev are the main advocates of negro
tuflrage, in the belief that the votes of the ne
Ifroes can be so influenced as to remit the po
litical affairs of the South into the custody of
parties wbo will aid them in perpetuating the
?war, l>y keeping the South governed by the
force of bajonets only. They maintain that
the only trustworthy people south of the Po- i
torn a c are the freed blacks. This is the drift
of all they utter on the subject. It is sweep
ingly untrue.
We bold, on the contrary, to the theory of
President Johnson, as promulged through
cut his administration as Military Governor
Of T?""Uls Jale Harness to the negroes
of Washington, and In bis decision with refer- j
ence to the provisional government of North
Carolina, that there are loyal white men enough j
in the South to speedily reassure that section
in its rightful allegiance, now that the despot- |
ism o f Jeff Davis, Billy Smith, Wade Hampton, j
Judah P. Benjamin & Co., has been obliterated
Jrom the face of the earth
The Star's usual readers know well that it i
Las steadily maintained that the mass of the :
people of the South needed but to be assured I
that they were to be no longer at the mercy of i
that despotism, to take ibeir stand eagerly In ;
favor of the re-establishment of the authority
of the United States Ooverment over them,
with any changes that the war might render
neceeary. Everything that has transpired in
that section since the fail of .Richmond has
gone to prove the correctness of this opinion.
We recognize and heartily approve the pro
priety of the regulations laid down in Presi
dent Johnson's late proclamation of amnesty, ;
t>7 which men who may possibly be still af- j
lected with disloyalty are to be debarred from
the rights of citizenship in the Sonlb until they
may individually purge themselves or that
? u.opicion; bis reservation of the right to par
don asy men of the excluded classes being de
signed to that end. We also recognize iu the >
-very recent action of the Legislature of Ten
nessee the true key to the reconstruction of j
State governments and society at the South j
upon a thorough and reliable Union basis: the
plan of disfranchising all who cannot com*
pletely substantiate their loyal intentions, for a
term of years; in the course ol which they will
certainly cease to be dangerous to society, as
Citizens, In any respect whatever. To remit j
the civil aflairs of tbe South into the keeping of 1
its negroes will be bat to put those affairs in
the hands of demagogues. The shoddyltesand
bogus philanthropists of the North who nrge
that policy on the Government would find
themselves beaten in a single month in the
feame of controlling the negro vote, by the more
adroit demagogues of secession proclivities.
The time is rapidly approaching when all the
Appliances ol civil war must cease every where
throughout the land, and all things be remitted
to the practices ot peaceful times and the sole
control of civil wnrit ?*"* "? ? ?Uul
tiaic aiii?r*, ibc idra of negio poiiucai and so
cial equality will be b wept away a? by a whirl
wind, because it is utterly repugnant to the
sentiments of nine-tenths of the white race of
tbe land, North, as well as South President
Johnson knows human nature too well to run
counter to that sen'iment, as is evident in all
be writes, says, and dees upon tbe subject
He is earnest in doing his best for the future of
tbe negroes of tbe United States; in assuring to
them freedom, and the fullest opportunities for
Improvement, as all sensible men are. But he
evinces no disposition, whatever, to place the
race tn a position that wonld sooner or later
insure the occurrence of a conflict of races that
must (if it occurs 1 inevitably result in the loss
to the negro of much of substantial advantage
<o him, which has ee far grown out of the war
made to perpetuate and strengthen the slavery
that was not long since upon him.

To the Editor of the Star.
After three weeks' imprisonment in the Old
Capitol Prison in tbis city, 1 hare been uncon
ditionally and honorably released from con
finemeut by direction of the Secretary of War,
there being no evidence whatever to connect
me with the yellow fever or assassination plot,
v, i n which some of the northern journals tore
charged me of having some knowledge.
My arrest appears to have grown out of a
statement made in a low, licentious sheet pub
lished in New York, to the effect that Dr.
Biackbnrn, who has figured so unenviably in
the hellish yellow fever plot, was no other
person than myself. In reply to this state
ment, I would most respectfully say to an ever
generous public that I do not know this fiend
in hnman form named Dr. Blackburn, nor
have I ever seen him in my life. For the
truth of this assertion I can bring hundreds of
distinguished persons throughout the United
States to vouch for my veracity, and, if neces
sary, can produce certificates from an innu
merable number of gentlemen in high official
positions.
While n imprisonment I noticed In some of
the New York and other northern papers, a
paragraph setting forth that the villain Harold,
who now stands charged with being one of the
conspirators in the atrocious assassination
plot, was at one time in my employ This,
too, is false in every particular, and I am at
loss to see how it originated, or to trace it to
its origin. For the past five years I have had
but one man in my employment, and he is yet
with me, his character being beyond reproach
1 never taw Harold 'o my knowledge, and I
have no desire to see him.
Another paper has gone so far as to inform
the public that 1 was an intimate acquaint
ance of Booth's; but this .'oo. is news to me,
as 1 never spoke to him m my life, or any of
his family.
I do hope that the papers which so indns.
tiionsly circulated tbese report? connecting
me with these damnable deeds, to the very
great injury of my name and reputation, will
do me the justice to publish my release, and
the fact of my having been entirely exonerated
by the authorities here, who, after a diligent
investigation, could obtain no evidence that
would in the least tarnish my fair reputation.
I feel it but due to th? authorities here to state
tiint, wnile in the Old Capitol, I was treated
with the utmost kindness and consideration:
and was placed in the same quarters assigned
to Governor Yanca, Governor Brown, Hon.
Mr I.amar, and others of note.
Wi'h these few remarks in justice to myself,
I will close by submitting them to the public.
Kespectfully, Da. F. TrMr.HTT.

(For the Accused.)
Wi'ness was president ot Frederick College

there. Witness left in December. I&ii?, and
thinks that Samuel Mudd was there then.
Thero was only one principal vacation in July
and August.
By Judge Bingham ".?There were short va
cations. Witness is not certain that Dr. Mudd
wat- present in December.
Mr Ewing stated lhat he had no further evi
dence to offer in the cases ot Mudd, Arnold
and Spangler.
General Hunter ?Are the other cases closed
on the part of the defense I
Mr. Doster stated that Dr. Nicbels was en
gaged in making an examination into the case
ot the prisoner, Payne, as to his sanity, but
was not ready to report.
Judge Holt:?When will he be readv to re
port !
Mr. Doster.?I do not know.
General Hunter said he understood that he
would not report nntil be had learned all the
antecedents of the prisoner.
Mr. Doster said that Dr. Nichols had in
formed him that be could give an opinion
without learning Pajne's antecedents, but not
one with which he would like to come into

were to limit Dr. N. to time he would report at
that time

nesses be desired, bat would not delay the

Assistant Judge Advocate Bingham said
?aie not present, but that they had no
tified the OoUri m ?*? *.i*o y maten 0q del a v
for further testimouy.
Mr. poster said it had been the custom in the
? courts of the State of Maine In cases where the
question of insanity was raised to refer them to
meoical experts, and the cases were not closed
until a report was received. He thought the
same course should be adopted here In
the case of Payne. The prisoner appeared
here suddenly and mysteriously and what
knowledge ne (Mr. D.) ban of bit* client, was
through hi4 (ioaura irom different
at varions points. The issue here was
this maftTa life, and he thought that a delay of
eight days to bring either Payne's friends here
or to secure a scientific and regular examina
tion should be accorded.
Jndge Bingham said the defense had had
forty days already to make a medical examin
ation, or in which to bring witnesses here.

tice referred to in the courts of Maine had
never been known in the courts here.

Terribly Injured by the Rleierst J
Between 11 and 12 o'clock to-day a despe
rate disturbance occurred in the s:iape of a
murderous assault by a number ot soldiers
said to belong to one ol the brigades of the 20th
corps upon a number of inoffending colored
people of the Seventh Ward. From the best
data that can be obtained, it appears that this
brigade were this morning on theea^t side of
the canal between the bridges of Maryland
and Virginia avenues, awaiting a conveyance
traiu en route to Louisville, and that during
the morning a number of the men visited the
disreputable houses and tippling houses (oc
cupied by white and colored) in Pear Tree
Alley and adjacent places, where they indis
criminately attacked the Inmates, driving them
lrum their bousesi breaking up their furni
ture, and helping themselves to liquor and ed
ibles. The crowd numbered from 150 ta 200.
ana they commenced to knock iu the doors ot
bouses as they proceeded in their riotous
course, some twenty or more having provided
themselves with axes, breaking up the furni
ture, &c.
In Chinch Row, situated in the square be
twetn 1st and 2d streets and Virginia avenue
and I> street, every door and wicdow was
broken, the terrified inmates barely getting
away in time to save themselves. The rioters
showed particular animosity against tbe
colored people, aEd the sight of one ot
them was tbe signal for a rush at him,
and when unfortunately any fell into their
hands they did not escape without beine
robbed ol what money they bad, and they were
besides baaly beaten in almost every case
This crowd went through 2d and 3d streets,
taking in their range the alleys near by, b?at
ing all colored folks they met and helping
themselves to what they wished in tbe houses,
particularly those occupied by people of color,'
who, at last having borne with tbeifr treatment
until forbearance ceased to be a virtue tbey
resisted, when a fight occurred: the soldiefs
using revolvers as also did tbe colored people
' lu sfll dcftnr*, for a time; lb* reports being SO
quick that tbey sounded as if a battle was
going on.
The soldiers stopped at the saloon of Ben
Bowzer. colored, at the corner of Virginiaave
nue and 1st street, and while some of them
robbed him ot his watch and money and beat
him, others helped themselves to his ice cream,
cakes, ice. Here it wau mat the biggest fight
took place. ? number of the negroes going to
tne protection ot Bowzer, and brlcks^tones and
balls flew thick and fast
Dr. Wm. Boyd, living near, went out with a
revolver in band, and commanded peace,
wbtn a soldier struck him In the face with a
brick, fracturing the cheek and" jaw bones in a
terrible manner, and also destroying the sight
ot one eye. Others of the soldiers made a rush
for him, and one was In the act of cleaving his
head open with an ax, when a number of
women stepped In and succeeded m persuading
them to spare bis life.
The soldiers and the colored people fought
for some time in F street, first one party being
victorious and then the other, until tbe guard
stationed on street (H&ncack's 5th regi
ment) made their appearance, and soon re
stored order.
Sergeant Hepburn, of the tenth precinct po
lice, was on the ground promptly with oliaers
Weeden, Walsh and others,but they were un
? able, outnumbered as they were, to do any.
I thing effectual to restore peace.
A messenger was at once dispatched to Col.
Ingrabam, Provost Marshal, who promptly
I; sent a guard to tbe scene of the disturbance,
I and set about arresting the rioters.
It is impossible at this time to tell bow many,
and who have been injured besides I)r. Boyd.
It is said thai one of the soldiers had his
bowels ripped open and that two or tnree
others were shot. It is also reported that 7 or
S colored people wbo were attacked in their
houses were very badly, hurt.
Dr. C. M. McCoy was In attendance on Dr.
. Boyd, and expresses the opinion that it may be
| necessary to remove most of the bones on the
injured side of the face.

Scdpew Ikpasitt.?Mr. James KHeher. of
ihe firm of Keleher & Pywell. livery stable
keepers, who was a witness in the cons,<irncy
trials, has suddenly become insane, we regret
to say. He is of a highly nervous tempeia
ment, and some have attributed his iusanuy to
the fact that he was called as a witness in this
exd'lng trial; but this would seem to he im
pFObable, as h?s testimony was no! material,
being only as to the fact of Atzerodt hiving
nlred a horse at his stable on the day of the
assassination. It was thonrht he would be
sent to Mount Hope, near Baltimore, for treat
ment; but up te this time he remains at his
residence. He is a most tstimable citizen, aud
it is esrnestly to te hoped tnat his Illness will
be but temporary. _

orderly, however, appearing in time to pre
vent the loss of his norse, Staring immedi
ately crossed the street and attempted to tak?
another horse standing in front ot the S"?te
Tepartment, when O'Brien interfered Ttie
former then made an attack on O'Brien, tear

o'clock this evening.
