a Ei Barksdale, House of Represents
atives Rich mond f Sir I - have the
honor tot acknowledge the receipt of
your letter i toe izt use, wiu) ref
erence to the employment of negroes
as soldiers. I think the measure not
only expedient but necessary. The
enemy will certainly use ! them
against us if he can get possession of
them,; and as his present ' numerical
superiority will enable him to pene
trate raaay parts of the country, , I
cannot see the wisdom of the policy
of holding them to await his arrival,
whence wy, by timely actisn - and
judieious management, use them to
arrest hid Droeress. I do' not think
Ihat our white population can supply
tne necessities or. a long war wnnout
overtaxing its capacity and imposing
great suffering upon our people; and
I believe we should provide resources
for a protracted struggle, not merely
for a battle era campaign.
. In answer to your secoiid questidn
I can only sav that in mv oninion
the neevo nnqer nroner oircumstan-
e will make an efficient soldier. I
ibink We could do as well with them

Importance to their assistance. , Un

U the physical qualifications, and
their habits of obedience constitute a
good foundation for discipline. They
furnish a more promising 'material
than many armies of which we read

An impressment or draft would not
jbe likely to briug out the best class,
and the use of coercion would make
the measure distasteful to them and
jto their owners. ' - .
I have no. doubt that if Coneress
rould authorize their reception into

tO call upon individuals or States for
sdeh as they are willing to contrib

proves successful most of the objec
tions to the measure would disappear
and if individuals still remained, un
willing to send their, neeroea . to the
army, the force of public opinion : in
ne states would soon bring about
irch legislation as would remove all
ibstacies. I think the matter should
left as far as possible with the neo-
e and to the States which alone
n legislate as the necessities of this
.rucular ser vice may require. As

8 otdd be left as free from restraint

Nw York, Monday evening. ' David
Dudley Field began with the Consti
tution of the United States, which, he
Said, i contained two flagrant in
stances. - One was in the clause that
contained the words that the Presi
dent should appoint "by and with the
advice and: consent of the Senate. "t
If j the Sonate' ad vised an appoints
ment,Mir.,iriiW aid, that implied
their (cpuseafctoA it. The other in
stance! was the clause concerning the
power; 6f Congress to pass all "nec
essary and 'proper', laws, for if the
laWs. frere: necessary they were, if
course, proper.- Mr. Field dwelt re-i
B elf uily. upon the failure of the Le
ajture to pass his cede doing away
with superfluous words in legal docu
ments, i In the ordinary deed of
transfer, be' said, there were nine
hundred and 'fifty words, qf which
eight hundred and sixty were super
flUdus. In the fc ordinary mortgage
forin there were one thousand five
hundred, of which one thousand two
hundred and" fprty Were superfluous,
i For ' recording deedaand monta
ges, Mr. Field said; ten cents per
hundred . words were paid. There
were recorded in New York,: during
ine one month : six : hundred and
eighty4eight deeds and seven hun
dred and eighty- eight mortgages "If
my bode had been adopted,"; said
Mr. i Field, 'the people would have
saved 591 on the deeds and $944 on
the mortgages, a saving of over $1,500
per month to the people. The people
of the !State - pay over $100,000 per
