KESULT OP THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
. Character of the Officers Chosen.
Tbe Secession Element is the State.
Prescriptive Laws Relative to the Freedmen.
Montgomebt, Ala., December 9, 1865.
;. ' . : I RESULT OF SELECTIONS, j
I have been a long time silent, constantly
cherishing the hope that I would soon.be
able to write to you that I saw evidences of
retirnuncr loyalty ana gooa ieeung m xms
part of the country. But the weeks go by
one after another, and the current sets as per
versely aa ever, The elections have been
held. It was scarcely - to be expected Mhat
Union men those who had openly espoused
the cause of the General Government against
the seceding States-l-would be elected to the
State offices, though; in view of the path re
quired of members of Congress jt was thought
that only those would -be sent , to claim seats
in Washington who could take hat loath.
For the Legislature, in view of the recent
history of the State a reasonable hope exis
ted that those candidates would be elected
whose past record was not likely toj be par
ticularly obnoxious to, loyal men. But the
secessionists have made a bold and success
ful struggle to retain their political power in
the State, and the conservative and Union
candidates have been almost X everywhere
beaten.-. j ' .'.J . J! 1 .' .-.
The immediate object . of ( the Buccessful
! party is, doubtless, to prevent the crime or
" tigma of .their treason to the General Gov
ernment from being visited upon them in any
way, and at the same tfaue to manufacture a
public sentiment of honor and-respect- for
treason and traitors, and a loathing and con
tempt for those who opposed secession and
its consequences, and adhered to, the Consti
tution and the Union. .
'. ' PASSPORT TO OFFICE.
The claims of the successftil candidates
were such as might have been expected to be
urged if the Confederacy made good its es
. tablishment. ; " My services in the war, the
-wounds I have received, the sacrifices I have
made, entitle me to your gratitude and your
suttrage." This was the plea ,ot the candi
date, and the voters responded to it cordially
at the polls." 'The greatest test of merit, the
; highest standard of qualification is to have
lost a leg or an arm, an eye or a hand in arms
against the Government.
The Provisional Governor, .Mrj Parsons
himself,? panders to 'his' knowledge of this
fact, and gpea out of his'way in his message
to suggest ' to the Legislature that especial
care must be taken of the battle-flags of rebel
regiments left in his possession,; jwhich ; he
" calls " sacred souvenirs of the couraee and
endurance of those who went forth to battle
under their folds, and who manfully upheld
them with their lile-blood." . yi
Jl: SECESSION DEBATING CLTJb!
Responding; to this idea, the . Legislature
gives the. use of the ; hall f the House , to
meetings of sundry gentlemen . who propose
to form a State historical society, to preserve
the records of the" deeds of the soldiers of
Alabama, and to raise a fund to build a mon
ument to those who die& id the Confederate
service. Perhaps .nobody would have seri
ously objected to all this, but , after one or
- two meetings the- society ..appeared ; to have
; transformed Itself ' into a tegular ? secession
debating cub, and any one ttiat listened to
the speakers could' scarcely Believe that they
had lived in the land during the last twelve
months. - y''''?-,':: ::'. '

A - .' THE' SENATE,
is composed oi oetter : material tnan tne
House: It is less rancorous, and more dis
posed to listen to common sense and reason.
It 'parsed a bill to confer the right to testify
in court upon .freedmen a few days since.--
w nen it came into ine nouse iue uiu vva
violently opposed and" amended by a pro
viso that : u in all. cases ; where . negroes , were
allowed to testify, both parties shall be com
petent witnesses, and no interest or relation
ship should disqualify either party from tes
tifying in open court." ' . ' j .' ; 6 Sjl-
The reason giveh for this amendment fwas,
that if any nesrro brought a suit against a
white man, and made up a combination of
black witnses against him, he -white man
could go upon the stand and "swear back
at him"--" swear him out of court."
The Senate refused to concur in this amend
ment, and a committee of conference was
appointed, which agreed to report the bill
as follows : . t " ' ij ' ' : ' 'f. -
Be it enacted, Ac., That all freedmen, free
negroes, and mulattoes shall have the right
to sue and be sued, plead and: be impleaded,
in all the different and various courts of this
State to the. same extent that whitespersons
now have by law. That said freedmen, free
negroes, and mulattoes shall have alt the rem-?
edies for the recovery of property and re
dress of injuries on their persons, property,
and reputation iwnicn white persons may
have by law ; and they ..shall be competent
to testify only in open court ana only m
cases in which freedmen, free negroes, and
mulattoes are; parties, either , plaintiff or de
fendant ; and iri civil and criminal cases for
injuries in the persons, or property, or rep
utation of .freedmen, free negroes, or mulat
toes, in whichj tmder this act, a freedman,
free negro, or mulatto is a witness against a
white person, or a white ? person against a
freedman, free negro, or mulatto, th parties
shall be competent witnesses, and neither in
terest in the question or suit, nor marriage,
shall disqualify any witness from testifying
in open court.
The Senate concurred promptly in the re
port of the committee, but the House had
got a new idea' now, to wit : that the negro
had no reputation that could be injured by a
white man, and never should get any if they
could help it ; and the report was non-con
curred in by a vote ot 48 to do.
how rr. was done.
' This result was far from satisfactory to the
gentlemen who were in the lobby .waiting to
get things right at home before -starting for
Washington to- get into seats in ' Congress,
and soon their arguments Drought aqput a
motion and a .vote to recongider. A new
debate ended in another vote to non-concur
47 to 37 and! a new committee of conference
was appointed. This committee reported
back the bill with the words that are above
enclosed in brackets stricken out, and in the
new shape it Was forced through both houses,
li was immediately engrossed and approved
by Governor Parsons, and the wires flashed
forth to the world, (at Washington,) I have
no doubt, that the privilege of testifying in
the courts of Alabama was by law accorded
to the freedmen. - . ;
With a white judge, white lawyers, white
juries, and the privilege of his j white anta
gonist to " swear back at mur'-p-much good
will it doubtless do mm.
' " :. ' A CURIOUS BILL.
Pending all these proceedings, the House
passed a very curious bill curious when you
compare its scontents with its title. It is
called a bill f to protect the freedmen of Ala
bama" "t:It provides that w any white person
or free person of color, or any corporation
who leases or rents, or otherwise lets to tree
persons ot color any tenement or land, or.
permits them to remain in any tenement or
on any land, for any length ot tame, shall be
responsible for the necessary food, clothing,
medical attendance, medicine,, and j for all
taxes that may be imposed or laid by law on
such free persons of color during the time
such tree persons of color are permitted to
remain insuch tenement or tenements, or on
such land.": If the party letting, &c- does
not furnish all this, he is declared guilty of
misdemeanor, suoject to an indictment, con
.viction, and fine of not less than fifty or more
than one hundred dollars in each case. For
each conviction under this act the solicitor
prosecuting shall receive a: fee of twenty-five
dollars. The' vote on this beautiful bill was
.-r-yeas 57 ; hays 26. j

The Mississippi Legislature passed a law
?rohibiting negroes from renting or acquiring
ands.V This was promptly .disallowed by
the United tates authorities; Hence, the
representatives in Montgomery do not pro

but they make the man who lets him either

This substitute is made the order of the
ay'for.Monday nexty with a probability of
a passing the' House. The Senate may con
ol the spirit that would thus legislate the
- egro back into the hands of the planted on
vhatever. terms the planter might choose to
ive him ; but the fact that the House, shows
ach a spirit is a sad commentary upon: the

The Senate has spent, nearly all of tp-day
. ammering put a bill to regulate, contracts
:-:4th,eednien;''. The principal debate was
pbn a section that provided that the laborer
lould have, a lien upon e crops raised for
is wages. " It was' first amended to except
. mtracbi made with the owner of the land,
jjr the reason given that the land was re
onsible for the wages, and the lien ought
nly be afforded to protect the negro against
ie designing people who would come down
v ere from the North, hire farms, and go off
,itii the: crops without paying Sambo. Pi-
. ally,i however, the section was stricken out:
Yhis, bilLis still under consideration! ;
Intelligent negroes assure me that the
. reedmen do not want any of all this protec
ion. - They say that these people are not so
jjnorant of business as is alleged "; that they
now how to make, their own bargains, and
hat j they will be more oppressed by the
rouble and expense involved in all these
' )roceedings tp hedge them round than ben-
-ifitted iby their operation. Thef do not
agreed with the legislative idea that they
leed guardians. All they ask is to be per-
uitted to make their own bargains tor labor,
ust as ivhitfe laborers do in the North. They
' ay that the attempts of the Freedmen's Bu-
. eau to regulate tne terms oi tneir contracts
aave done them more harm than good.

Take my atock ttltogothor, I have one among
the : largest and niost desirable and complete
stocks of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods in the
City.
Nowf'allow me to 6ay that I bought my Goods
to sell, and they must and shall be sold ; but I
don't expect to take a piece of poetry in one hand
and a full grown humbug in the other and climb
up to the clouds and fisii out the birds of Para
dise and gently bring them down with a placard
stuck on their backs, "Selling out at Cost! sel
ling out at Cost !" No, I deal in no such hum-
bog. I keep no such a class of Goods. I keep
no .time-worn, shelf-rubbed, defaced or dusty
Goods. Dust so thick you can rub it off with a
knife. My Goods are all new, and of good Styles,
and I intend to sell them as low as anybody that
bought goods with the expectation of paying for
them, and the man that sold the goods to the man
that don't intend to pay for them is a fool and
the man that sells them is a rascal. Now this is
plain talk, but 'tis no slip of the tongue. I mean
what I say, and say what I mean. I have lived
here and sold goods here for twenty years. I ex?
pect to remain here. I pay my taxes to support
Institutions of the City, County and the State. I
expect to continue to do so. I respectfully ask
my old customers, my old friends and new ones
to caHnind examine my stock. I will deal with
you honest and treat you right HI don't sell
you goodi si cheap as you can buy the same class
of goods elsewhere I don't expect you- to buy.
