EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1866.
Another week has run its circling rounds,
and the tone and temper of the people and
the people's Representatives is certainly such
as to inspire the loyal masses with confi-
dence in the power and stability of their
Government.
The Constitutional amendment has occu-
pied the attention of the Senate for most of
the week, while the House has had under
consideration various matters of general leg-
islation, but more especial attention has been
bestowed upon the Personal Liberty Bill and
the Canadian Reciprocity Treaty. The Com-
mittee on Reconstruction have given in sev-
eral important installments of their testimo-
ny. This has been spread before the coun-
try, long ere this has been read, and ls
now undoubtedly being reread by the think-
ing masses of the American people. In it
Congress will find a full, entire and complete
justification before the peOple of their hesita-
tion in granting immediate admission to
Southern Representatives into Congress. Ea-
ger as every Union member of this Congress
undoubtedly’is to'ba've all the Statesof the
Union restored to their former relations to
the Government, no one of them who re-
gards the sanctity Of his oath can ignore such
evidence for instance as is incorporated in
the minority report of Messrs. Washburn and
Boutwell. to impressively significant is it,
that I append it entire, and ask for it the de-
liberate consideration Of every man who val;
ues public credit, justice and liberty.
The undersigned, members of the Joint
Committee on Reconstruction, dissenting
from the report of the majority concerning
Tennessee, respectfully submit the following
statement: ~
.The last United States census shows that
rather more than one-fourth of the people of
‘ Tennessee are colored persons, and that less
than three-fourths are whi . The evidence
submitted to the Committ shows that the
colored people are unanimously loyal to this
GOvcrnment, and that about one—half of the
white persons are disloyal. In East Tennes-
see lhe number of loyal persons far exceeds
the number of disloyal, whilein Central and .
West Tennessee the loyal white- population
constitute grnly a minority of. the whole.
The proposition of the Committee, contem-
plates the restorationof Tennessee to- liti-
col power in the Government of the nited
States, and thattheelective franchisemay
be‘ confined to the loyal white, people of the
State for a period of about fifteen years,
while no provision whatever is made for the
exercise of the elective franchise by loyal
colored people.
Previous to the rebellion, the voting popu
latiou of the State, then limited to white per»
sons, was about 120,000. 0f the resent
voting population,not more than 62,300 can
be regarded its loyal. The :result of. the
proposition of the Committee is, that a State
will be exercisin power in the Government
of the United. tatea in which half of its
white people, numbering about 60,000, and
all its colored population, numbering about
80,000 adult male citizens, will be excluded
from participating in public nfiairs, so that
of about 200,000 adult male citizens in that
State, not more than 60,000 will possess po-
litical power.
The exclusion, for a limited time, of the
men who have participated in the rebellion,
and as a punishment for their offenses,
meets the approval of the undersigned, and
cannot by the parties excluded be properly
made the subject of complaint; but it is a
very grave question whether a State gov-
ernment can be set up and maintained, ac
cording to the theory of American institu-
. .tions, in which so large a part of the adult
citizens are deprived of a voice in its public
affairs.
It appears conclusively, from the testimo-
ny ‘of Major-General Thomas, that secret or-
ganizations exist in all the 'rebel States,
whose purpose is to obtain representation in
Congres then to impair or destroy the credit
of the 'ational Government, involve the
country in a foreign war, and then avail
'themselves of the opportunit thus created
to effect a dissolution of the nice and the
establishment of a separate government.
With a, knowledge of these facts, it would
seem to be of the first importance in the re-
construction of the Government to secure in
every State a loyal voting population. The
statistics of Tennessee show that it is entire .
ly practicable, by the extension of the elec-
tive franchise universally, or by a qualifica-
tion, which will render it practicable ulti-
mately, and in a reasonable time, for the
adult male colored population to become vo-
ters, to place the Government irrevocably in
the hands of loyal men. In the exigency
that exists it would seem to be wise states-
mansbip to accept the services and political
power of men who have shown themselves,
under all circumstances, to be the true friends
of this nation. Moreover, the admission of
the colored men to the exercise of the elec-
tive franchise would enable the loyal people
of Tennessee to restore the mass of their fol-
low citizens who have been engesed in the
rebellion, and who are not crimin lyor ofil—
cially distinguished from their associates, to
participate without much delay in the gov-'
ernment of the State and of the country.
This measure, which cannot be safely adopt-
ed if the elective franchise is limited to the
white people of Tennessee, will become en-
tirely practicable by the extension of the
elective franchise, while its magnanimous
character could not fail to induce many of
those who have been engaged in the rebel-
lion to support the Government in good faith.
Moreover, the rule of excluding permanently
or for a long term of years all those who
have participatediu the rebellion, if adopted
in the case of Tennessee, must be extended
to the other rebel States. In some of these
States not more than a tenth or a fifth of the
people have been loyal, and in such States it
,would be'impoasible to set up agavernment
with any. hope that it cerium-permanently
maintained, in which the elective franchise
should be limited to the loyal people exclu-
sively. Hence the country will be com lled
to hold such States for along period 0 time
it
could permit Tennessee to assume relations
‘ ‘ gotten the brave men with whom he served
ject to the authority of the National Govern-
ment. The theory is contrary to the theory
of our institutions, to the practice of the
Government, and cannot for any considera-
ble period of time be pursued. In a few
years at furthest such States, even those
where the number ,of-loyal white people ll
least, Will be unmitigatopower: in innov-
ernmept of the country, with‘the'electi've
franchise in the hands of disloyal whites,
who, by Irresistible majority, will coutrOl the
policy Of the States and the character of their
representation in Congress. Regarded as a
national question, and a subject afiecting the
peace and prosperity of the coun , it is of
prime importance to secure in one State a
oyal basis for the maintenance of govern-
ment. It seems unwisejo consider of._.prl='
mary importance the political character Of
the representative who may offer himself for
a seat In Congress. The right to be repre-
sented is wright of the. people. NO individ-
ual has a If ht to be repreooutqduutilxhc his.
been duly c ected, while it is eminently prop-
er for each branch‘of‘ ' fiifto in uire in-
to the loyalty of .every claimant o a seat.
whose loyalty may be questioned. It is still
vastly more important to ascertain the loy-
alty of the constituency he claims to repre-
sent. _The official. life of the representative
when in the Senate or the House is camper.
a'trvely brief, while the constituency is endu-
ring. If the constituency is loyal, the power

GENERAL HAWLEY.
PERSONAL REMINISCENCES.
Our readers will not have forgotten that
Chaplain H. L. Wayland, of the Seventh
Cdnnecticut, occasionally favored this paper
with letters during the war, which were read
with peculiar interest. Upon learning of the
nomination of General Hawley, with whom
he was long and intimately associated in the
service, he has considered that some reminis-
cences of the army life of the General might
not be uninteresting to the public, and, after
perusing his letter, given below, we are sure
that our readers will fully agree with him.
For officers and men of the Seventh, Chap:
lain Wayland’s letter will not be needed; to'
them the glorious‘career of the General is al-
ready well known; but to others such testi-
mony, coming from one who was not only
mobthighly respected but warmly loved by
ihe’ whole regiment, will have no small value.
After leaving the army, Chaplain Wayland
was engaged for a short time in missionary
labors at Nashvrlle, Tenn, and he is now a
PrOlessor in a College in Michigan, but,
though absent from the State, he has not for-
so long. His letter is as follows :—
Massns. EDITORS: I am glad to see that
the‘Union party of Connecticut have nomi-
‘nated for Governor my old friend and former
commander, Gen. Hawley. He will, I am
sure, make an able, upright and patriotic
magistrate, as I know that he has been a
brave, skillful and most loyal soldier. The
State will have cause for congratulation in
having in succession two such magistrates as
Buckingham and Hawley.
'I had the honor of serving under Gen.
Hawley for some twenty-eight months, from
September, 1861, to January, 1864, and du-
ring almost that entire time, I saw him many
times a day, and held the treat and most
constant intercourse with him.
Bravery is usually reckoned as the first
virtue of the soldier. It would seem a waste
of words to ofi'er proof at this day that Gen.
Hawley possesses this quality. You remem-
ber that on the first call of the President,
within twenty-four hours he had enlisted as
a private a ,
pectedly to himself e was elected on oflcor.
From that day be as constantly engaged,
heart aud soul, in th war. At the first bate
tle of Bull Run he one of the very few
to lead his troops of e field in good order.
giving evidence at that 1 .day of marked
ability and courage!
And what I have personally seen of- h‘
under the “iron hail” of Pulaski, amid the
earnings on James Island, and in the trenches
before Fort Wagner, assures me of his valor.
Still later in the war upon the bloodior and
more momentous battles in Virginia, be won
the enthusiastic admiration of the country.
But he possesses one quality higher and
rarer than courage. I mean that of calmness
and self-possession in the hour of danger.
Many a brave man loses command of himself
'tO see if the order was obeyed, he found one
:pla‘ined' that he had been up all the preceding

field. Gen. Hawley is never more unrufiled
than in season of greatest peril. Usually im-
pulsive in habit, he seems at such times ren-
dered calm, self-contained and watchful by
the very pressure of responsibility.
'His peculiar ability as an executive and
administrative oflce‘r, caused him on two or
three occasions, with no solicitation on his
part, to be put in command of posts held by
our forces on the coast. But as soon as any
movements against the enemy were in con-
templation, he at once wrote to the com
mending General, earnestly soliciting that he
and his regiment might be sent to the front,
and seeking to preve that his regiment was
the one that should have a prominent place
in the advance. There was never so inces~
sent fighting in our department as in many
other parts of the South, but of ’what fighting
there was, his regiment invariably had a full
share—and naually at his express request. I
believe that finally the great body of the reg-
iment, officers and men alike, were more
than willing that he should let them take
their chance with Other regiments, and have
only such fighting asfell fairly to their lot.
His alertness and readiness were often the
Occasion of extraordinary labors being laid
upon his troops and himself. I remember
that‘on Morris Island, the night an attack
was made with a torpedo upon the New
Ironsidos,‘ he was 'the first to learn of the
alarm, and in an incredibly short time had
the regiment under arms. The result of our
being the first to be in readiness was that we
were ordered to gate the front and lie there
all night. With a commander leafs eager to
do his whole duty, no doubt the regiment
would have had an easier time. If this was
a fault, I'imagine that a patriot will find no
difficulty in forgiving him for it.-
His estimate of the duty of the soldier was
high, and the earnestness with which he
sought to bring them under his command up
to his ideal, might have seemed undue sever-
ity to those who did not consider that the
destiny of the Republic rested on the temper
and keenness of the bayonet, and that terri-
ble disaster might result from the negligence
of a sentry or an outpost. There was noth-
ing harsh in his nature. I think it was al-
ways painful to him to enforce good order
by penalties, and he gladly availed himself
of any excuse for leniency. I am sure that
there was no one more happy than be when
be celebrated the Fourth of July at 8'. Au-
gustine, by releasing all the prisoners con-
fined in the guard house.
I remember that, one night, when we were
in the trenches on Morris Island for some
thenty-eight hours, orders were given that
every one should be awake against a possible
sally of the enemy. Passing along the lines
man‘ asleep. He instantly ordered him to be
punished for his negligence. The man ex-
night and had found it Utterly impossible to
kepp awake. The Colonel at once excused
the delinquent, and reproved the company,
jOfilcer who had allowed a man to come out
when unfitted for the labor by previous ex-
sure;
. It‘often happdns that it is out of the power
of ;the‘ commander to ensure the comfort of
pr Mien moving in transport, comfort must
belsacrifioed to secure the Object of the war.
But-under all circumstances C61; H. exacted
{opinion of the privates than his fellow offi-
cers; no more than he cheerfully submitted
to himself. While he was at the head of the
regiment I- think there was no officer who
As” an instance of his care of the men,I
remember that while we were lying in Edisto
river aboard the “ Delaware," he sent word
just at night to the captain, reminding him
that the decks were so crowded that some
one might fall overboard during the night,
and desiring him to have his boats ready to
be lowered at a moment’s notice. It chanced
that a man did fall overboard and was res-
cued ’ by the means which his forethought‘
had suggested.
I could give many illustrations of the prac-
tical kindness of Col. H. to his men. His
purse was always ready for any object which
promised pleasure or honor to the regiment.
,Nor was this done from any love of ostenta-
‘tion ordesrre to make himself popular. In
'many instances within my personal knowl-
edge the soldiers never kuew nor suspected
to whom they were indebted for their largely
increased comfort and happiness.
An attempt to make money out of the ne-
cessities of the men never failed to arouse his
profound indignation or to meet with pun-
ishment. Nor did his care for the men cease
with their lives. HOnor was always paid to
the dead soldier. I think that in no instance
was a member of the regiment buried with-
out a cofiln or even a headboard bearing his
name. Sometimes the whole regiment was
turned out to escort to the grave the remains
of a brother soldier. I remember on one fu-
neral occasion some one said to him, “There
is hardly time to make the usual arrange-
ments for a funeral.” “ There is always
time,” he replied, “ to do anything properly.”
To have died in the service of the country
inquested a soldier in his eyes with a dignity
and sacredness to which too much honor
could hardlybe accorded.
He was a just, humane, as well as a brave,
skillful and exact soldier. Whoever did his
duty, and whoever was wronged in any way,
had a friend in Co]. Hawley.
He was not indeed unanimously popular
in the regiment. Just so many disloyal men
as there were, just so many men as wanted
to shirk their duty and lay their work on the
shoulders of others, just so many as wanted
to rob their fellow soldiers at the gambling
board,—just so many enemies he had, and of
their hostility I am sure he was proud. But
he was dear to the heart of every honest
brave and loyal defender of the Republic.
The more thinking part of the soldiers
formed, while stationed at Fernandina, a
society for self-improvement, which they
callcd the “ Joe Hawley Debating Society.”
When I visited any of the sick or wounded
lying in hospitals away from the regiment,
their first words were, “ How is the regi-
ment? " “. How is Col. Hawley 1?”
Though his pympathies were warm and
his impulses strong, yet I considered him
somewhat remarkable for his opinions and
judgements. He was indeed enthusiastic in
the extreme in his zeal for the war and in
is desire that it might secure the unity,
l y, and elevation of the country and
of humanity ; but was far removed from fau-
aticism. He was ever patient, disposed to
l
without representation in Congress, and sub- ll

Laney the eager hem of those who wished
, \
events to move faster than was possible. I
am confident that be estimated, as did ev-
ery person of sense in the department, the
almost superhuman folly of many of Gen.
Hunter’s manifestoes. He was as patient of
President Lincoln’s delay in issuing the great
proclamation, as he was confident of its wis-
dom after it was issued.
While we were at St. Augustine, he thought.
that the changed condition of the negroes
rendered it proper that they should. have
some consul suited to their own state.—
Accordingly one Sabbath afternoon be ad-
dressed them in their meeting house.—
Hia remarks were most judicious, calculated
to lead them to prepare themselves by edu-
cation, self-restraint, honesty and labor for
the condition of freedom. His sentiments
agreed almost identically with those which
a year and a half later I heard Andrew
Johnson, then Vice President elect, express
to the colored people of Nashville.
If ever it might be said of any man,that he
loved his country, it might be said of Gen.
Hawley. He was proud of Connecticut,
but, not limited by the bounds of state or
section, be loved the Union first, last and al-
ways. He loved a Union man wherever he
found him, and by the same token be had no
place in his heart for any one, North or
South, who yv‘ould destroy the Union or see
it destroyed. I never saw him so aroused as
when on one occasion a spirit of disloyalty
and disunion had been engendered in a part
of the regiment, mainly by the factions ap-
peals of an officer who was subseqfiently
compelled to leave the service on account
of disloyalty.
The Republic was always first in his mind.
In the spring of 1864, just as the army was
about to enter on its long and bloody cam~
paign, he said to me—" Pray to God fir st
for Victory, and then for us.”
These words expressed in brief the senti-
ments which have always pervaded him.
His eager love of country, his unselfishuess,
his high faith in God, his sense of the value
of prayer. He is not is not indeed a profes-
sor of religion, yet he exhibits many of the
traits which adorn the highest examples of
Christian characters. He is, I believe,a man
of pure life and of personal virtue. Amid
the tempations to which so many members
of the army yielded, I never heard a reflec-
tion cast on his personal probity. He is an
honest man if one exists. I do not believe
that any officer has been in the service whos
accounts might more safely be submitted to
the closet scrutiny. To defraud the Govern.
ment in its hour of need and peril was an of-
fence which he classed with treason itself. He
would always rather sufier loss himself than
that the Governmentshould. When he as-
sumed command at St. Augustine, it had
been customary to give out. rations to almost
every applicant, white or colored. He at
Oboe revised the list with great care, cutting
down the expenditures to a fraction of its
former amount, {thus setting an example
which if widely followed would have saved
the Treasury many millions.
One woman applied for rations whom for
some cause (I think it was her well known
disloyalty) he did not regard as a proper per-
son to be aided by the government. He
was convinced, hbwever, that she was in
distress. He would not give her rations,
but he gave her money from his own purse
to supply her present wants until she could
get employment or have aid from her
friends.
During a few of the earlier months 'of his
service he wrote letters for the columns of
the Press. It was understood that their
graphic power and interest added much to
the circulation of the paper. But he soon
ceased to write, and on my asking him the
reason, he said that his time belonged to the
Government, and that it was using his po-
sition for purposes not contemplated in his
appointment.
He was always deeply interested in the
moral and religious condition of the mem-
bers of the regiment. While he was forward
in promoting plans for the entertainment
and pleasure of the men, he could not forget
that many of those under his command were
the sons of pious parents,aud he desired that
they might return to their homes, if their
lives were spared, with unfurnished charac-
ter. He always desired to have the sabbath
hallowed and observed by religious worship,
although he was Often unable, under the or-
:der of his superior to secure this result. He
was deeply sensible of the virtue of personal
religion as a guide in life and as a support in
death. He came to my tent one evening on
Morris Island and said,“You must pray with
all your might for Sanford and his men. He
has gone on a perfectly desperate expedition
to take Fort Gregg and blow it up.” I gath-
ered a few praying men from the Regiment
and; we spent the evening in prayer for the
brave litttle band of our comrades. At an
other time I was amused at midnight by an
orderly who handed me a note from the
Colonel. It was to this effect; “There is
oue'of the boys in the hospital who is just at
tacked with Congestion, and whom, I am
afraid will not live till morning. I wish you
would go and see him. I am sorry to dis-
turb you, but you would rather have me do
it, than not to speak a cheering wc rd to a
dying boy.” On another occasion when I
was for a day or two absent from the regi-
ment, a young man was terribly wounded in
the side by a shell. His death was hourly
looked for, and the Colonel sat down on his
bed and talked to him of the love of God and
his readiness to hear and help and save all
who gall upon him,and of the safety of those
who trust in his mercy. On several occasion
he addressed the men at religious services
I recall particularly an occasion at Folly
Island, at a time of more than usual religious
interest in the regiment, when he spoke to
those who had met for worship, expressing
his sense of the value of religion and his de-
sire that all in the regiment should be moral
and pious men. ‘
As I write, how many scenes come to my
mind associated with his presence. I seem
once more to be lying near .him on the bare‘
' ground beside the St. John’s river, or scorch-
‘ing unsheltered beneath the burning sun on
'MOrris Island. I seem again tehesr him ex-
