Show By W. U. Telexraph. j CONDITION OF GEORGIA, Washington, 14. Judge A. It. Wright, of Georgia, who was examined yesterday beibre the Ku Klux Committee, Com-mittee, said : Lf the people of the South can be made to believe that tho peoplo of the North will never retrace their steps on negro suffrage, and will perpetuate their efforts to make the black man dominate over the white race, I would not stand security for the people of the South, if they should ever have a chance to free themselves from such a state of things. But there need be no fear of further rebellion. The Southern people believe the pres- i ent state of things grows out of excite- j metit and animosities engendered by the war, and have an abiding faith in j the return of reason which time will serve to produce, and that the calm sense of the country will be exerted to bring about a state of feeling of fraternity frater-nity between the people of the country j .which nothing else will ever produce,; and to which the present management, can never contribute. 1 Dr. Angler Trass, of Georgia, in his ; ' statements before the Ku Klux com-1 mittee, presented facts and figures' 1 against Governor Bullock, disavowing i j political or partizau views. He said the Governor had violated the plain letter of the law in many instances, including the issuing of new State I bonds, and his effort to conceal the amount and his disposition of 1 them. Witness said he knew nothing of tho Ku Klux, exoept from rumor I and newspaper reports,never having to j his knowledge seen one. Ha thought lawlessness had exhibited itself in some! j sections of Georgia, as it did at times I in every State, and probably always j would. He could not say how far it ;had been political, but concluded it was I in some sections; and that men, both ; white and black, were now making : use of disguise for private gain and Cersonal revenge, and boys for mischief, e regarded it as a wonder that the people are as quiet and peaceable as they are, with the corruptions and terrible plunderings, and with three hundred pardons by the Governor, a , large portion for murder, in some cases before trial. There is no such thing as a general disturbance and never has t been. |
