The Southwestern Department---
Freedmen's Camps and Refugees' Homes Broken Up.---Official Report of General Fisk.
BUREAU REFUGEES, FREEDMEN AND ABANDONED LANDS, STATES OF KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE AND NORTHERN ALABAMA. ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, October 6, 1865.-General: I have the honor to report progress in the bureau affairs in this district.
Subsequent to my last general report I have visited many important points in the district, and brought the good intentions of the bureau to the knowledge of thousands of people, white and colored, who had heretofore but vague notions of its existence and objects. I am pleased to report continued improvements in the working of the bureau, and an earnest desire on the part of the people that our agencies should be extended.
I have devoted myself specially to the breaking of all freedmen's camps, refugee homes and hospitals. I concluded to make a clean sweep of them before the winter months came upon us and am able at this date to report decided progress in the good work. I have but one camp on my hands. Camp Nelson, Kentuck, still lingers. The withdrawal of transportation facilities delayed the breaking up of this camp one month.
The exodus has again commenced, and I hope to report the camp closed on the 1st proximo. The Nashville, Memphis, President's Island, Clarksville, Louisville, Paducah, Columbus, Gallatin. Hendersonville, Murfreesboro, Pulaski, Tunnel Hill, and Chattanooga camps, homes, and hospitals are all closed. The great majority of those who have been recipients of the Government bounty has been established in good homes in the country. They are at work for good wages. The exodus from crowded cities and towns to farms has been large, and I trust that Christin's will find but few unemployed people within the limits of my district. It shall not be my fault if there are any. The freedmen are becoming daily better advised touching their new relations, rights, privileges, and recognize the importance of industry, economy and the requirement of virtuous intelligence. It is my constant effort to cause them to feel independent, and not to depend upon the Government or benevolent associations for much aid. My faith in their ability to "paddle their own canoes" strengthens with my daily experience. Let them be accorded even-handed justice, and they will work out their own salvation. The breaking up of all camps and homes, and the withdrawal of rations, forces the idle to work or starve. County and municipal authorities are required to provide for their own poor, care for their own sick and bury their own dead.
In order to close out my hospitals, the sick who were on my hands I am providing for in private families, paying the expenses therefor in case, as I desired to close every door through which cities and counties were thrusting their poor and sick upon charities of the Government.
I reported, on September 21, that nine hundred and seventy nine (979) persons were subsisted by the Government within the State of Tennessee. I have the honor to report that during the month, the entire number have been disposed of, and at this date not one ration is issued by the Freedmen's Bureau in Tennessee.
There were at the colored refuge at Camp Nelson, Kentucky at the instant one thousand forty-five (1,045) women and eleven hundred and thirty-two (1,132) children. They can all be classed as dependents as there was nothing for them to do but eat, drink, and sleep.
September than in June. There were 551, 279 less rations issues in September than in June. It cost the government $87,732,38 less to subsist refugees and freedmen in September than in June. All the clothing I used during the quarter was distributed by agents of freedmen's aid commissions, chiefly by the Pennsylvania freedmen's society. I have no means of ascertaining the value of the distributions, but they have been light. The demand for clothing and shoes for the old, infirm and children, whom I was sending to the country, became so pressing that I purchased during the last month bills to the amount of $6,945.80. A report will be forwarded in due form by the Quartermaster.
I am, General, very respectfully your obedient servant, Clinton B. Fisk, Brig. Gen. and Assist. Com Major General Howard, Commissioner. etc, Washington D.C.
Speech of Senator Frazier, of Knox on the Bill to Admit Colored Testimony in the Courts.
Mr. Speaker: I have no thought anything that I can say upon this question will influence ay Senator in his vote. Indeed I have no desire to do so if I could. My only purpose in saying anything at all, is, that I may place myself right before the Senate, and the country, in regard to the vote I shall give on this measure when it comes up to be finally acted upon.
The bill itself standing alone and disconnected with any considerations of policy and expediency, is certainly just and right, and for myself, I fully endorse it, and should be rejoiced if I could believe the best interest of both races, the white and the black, would be benefited by its adoption at the present time.
In the progress of the discussion that has gone before, there are several grounds of objection taken to the measure, that seem to me altogether untenable and purely imaginary and ehimerical. It has been urged upon this floor, that if the negro is permitted to testify in Court, that there will be danger, that he will use this privilege to the injury of the white man, and that no man's life will be safe in the courts of the country where this privilege is granted to the black race. This is taking it for granted that the negro is constitutionally a false and treacherous being and that he is a vindictive as he is false. All our daily experience teaches us that this is not so. Take the whole race, crushed down by the iron hand of servitude as they have been for two hundred years, and it is not strange that they might be less truthful as a whole, than our more favored race. But, that they are constitutionally false and treacherous by nature no man who has had any intercourse with them dare assert. On the contrary, they are believed and relied upon and trusted, daily and hourly with many of our most important interests, and it is a rare thing to hear of them betraying their trust. Occasional instances do no doubt occur, but the general rule holds good, that they are a simple-minded, kind-hearted, trusting race, within none of the instinctive cunning or concealed and long cherished vengeance of the Indian. Who need to fear that this simple-hearted and inferior being, surrounded as he is and will be, by watchful and zealous superiors, will ever be able to do you, or me, or any other man any injury in a court of justice, by falsehood and forgery, and especially when we remember how difficult it is for the false white man, against whom no prejudice of caste exists, to escape detection.
It has likewise been argued that in giving the negro the right to testify that you elevate him to an equal. This is a notion founded in prejudice, and a morbid sensitiveness, not unmixed with egotism. Nevertheless, it is the most potent and controlling argument with most of the opposers of this measure, and especially with those who have never owned a slave nor had anything to do with them. Men who know the negro best and have had most to do with him feel no real apprehension on this account. They know that he is their equal in many things, and in many others he is their superios. The negro can pick out more cotton, ten to one than I can. He can plow as well, and hold out much longer, He can endure the heat of summer sun when I should sink exhausted. Thus in a thousand ways he is my superior. In many ways he is my equal. But in some I am and shall always be his superior. In social life among my own race I shall ever stand above him.
Another position taken by the opposers of this bill is, that if we grant this privilege it will make the negro proud and insolent, and cause him to demand other rights that should be rightly withheld for the present. For myself, I have no fears on the subject. My experience teaches me that kindness, tempered with justice, is the sure way to win respect. Withholding this right, to which the negro is no doubt entitled, and which he really needs, from him altogether, will be likely to produce in his mind bitterness and hatred, and he will feel that he has no friends in the South who are willing to do him justice. This brings me to consider the question of whether it is better at the present to submit to the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, an institution founded by the Government to meet this very question we are now discussing, or admit the negro to come before our own tribunals, and there has his case fairly adjudicated. against this institution I have no charge. Nay, rather I feel that it has been the means of doing great and lasting good in Tennessee. And under the wise and efficient superintendence of its agent, General C.B.Fisk It has affected reforms and established order and method where want and indolence reigned supreme among our black population. For these and many otherwise regulations, the people of the State owe him a bet of gratitude they can never cancel. And while I would say n more against the operation of this institution so far, yet it belongs to the military arm of the Government, and is a part of the machinery of war; its mandates are enforced by the bayonet and its decrees are the dictates of one man. It may be wisely concluded, or it may be wielded by some petty tyrant from a distant State, who may use it for purposes of venality or vengeance At the present time the negro is a competent witness before this tribunal against white or black and every white man in the State is amenable before its bar. A negro may now bring an accusation against any man in the State and have him arrested by [??], it may be of...

JOINT RESOLUTION-THE NEGRO.
By Mr. Murphy: That as it is impossible that the whites and blacks should ever live in harmony in Tennessee, and that the residence of the blacks among us would be highly injurious to the best interests of Tennessee, be it
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Body that the General Government should purchase, as soon as possible, a territory in South America, Africa, or some other country, wherein to colonize the negroes.
And further, that we instruct our Senators and Representatives in Congress to carry out the policy above set forth. Laid over under the rules.
COMPTROLLER'S AND OTHER REPORTS.
Mr. Arnell moved that 1,000 copies each of the Comptroller's report, the report of the committee to examine the archives of the State, and the report of the Treasurer, be printed for the use of the House. Adopted.
THE CASE OF MR. CAMERON.
it being, yesterday, decided to reconsider the vote non-occurring with the report of the committee who reported in favor of Mr. Cameron's eligibility to a seat on the floor, the question of concurring or non-concurring was taken up.
Mr. Wines moved for a non-occurrence with the report of the committee. He made some remarks stating why he should vote differently from yesterday, he then having voted to concur with the committee's report.
On motion the House adjourned until 2 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The question of non-concurring with the committee who reported in favor of the eligibility of Mr. Cameron, came up for consideration.
Mr. Freeman took the floor and spoke for a short time in favor of concurrence with the report. He contended that an officer of the United States, while in active service, has full power to change his citizenship from one State to another. If the military authorities order an officer from one State to another, it does not follow that such officer can control the matter of citizenship. Hundreds and thousands of cases clearly prove that such changes do not affect a man's citizenship.
Mr. Waters of Madison, was in favor of concurring with the committee. He knew Mr. Cameron well, while in the army, as both of them were, they were in a position once to be brought together closer than Masons. That was when with arms in their hands, they were both engaged in putting down the rebellion.
Mr. Dougherty spoke against concurrence. He thought that officers coming from and sent by any particular State, could not change their citizenship while in the army.
Mr. Steele contended that an officer, no matter what his rank, could not be deterred by any authority whatever from changing his citizenship while in the army. The fact was too glaring to need, elucidation and confirmation. Instances could be furnished without number.
Mr. Cameron arose and addressed the House at some length. He said the question was as plain as language could make it, and that gentlemen could not possibly make the case a dubious one.
He reviewed the matter from its first agitation up to the present time, and then delivered a very forcible argument in his own behalf. It was admitted by all that I brought my family to Memphis in 1862, that I done all in my power to become a citizen of the state, as far as my connection with the army would allow, and that if not a citizen-as gentlemen on the floor contend I am not-it is not from want of intention, but arises, if at all, from being in the United States army. When I entered the army in Illinois, I did not join to serve the State of Illinois. I was mustered into the United States army for three years or during the war. When I joined the army what did Congress say. Why, that volunteers were put on an equality with those in the regular army. Then why is it that volunteer officers should be deprived of privileges accorded to regular officers. The latter are not disturbed or controlled in the former of citizenship; then why should the latter? Any rule depriving a citizen of his rights, must be made by positive enactment. Where is the law, State or national, depriving me of citizenship in any State I choose. It can't be produced. Such laws are not in existence. I will cite an opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States. Chief Justice Curtis says that an officer in the army has unquestionably a right to change his residence and citizenship from one State to an other.
Now, I don't say this is law, but it is the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. Here is an authoritative exposition on the subject, which clearly sets forth that the fact of an officer being ordered from one place to another does in no way control his intention as to citizenship. I have shown to this House that I have done all in my power to become a citizen of Tennessee. I have acted and voted as such, and now if it is decided here that I am not a citizen of Tennessee, what State then am I a citizen of? Who supposes that if I went to Illinois, after voting here for years, that I should be allowed to vote as a citizen of that State? No one.
With Mr. Arnell, he had agreed to ask the opinion of eminent legal gentlemen on the case. We consulted Messrs. Neill S. Brown and D. C. Campbell, who furnished this opinion, which I ask the Clerk to read.
Gen. Smith objected to the reading of it, but was overruled by the Speaker. The following is the opinion:
"The question submitted to us as to the legal competency of an officer in the United States army, during the term of his service to acquire such a domicile as would make him a citizen of Tennessee, has been considered, and the authorities looked into as far as the brief period would permit; and the result of our reflection and investigation is that the fact alone of a party being in the service of the United States does not deprive him of the power to choose and acquire a domicile and citizenship in a State different from that in which resided, when he entered the service. So in the case before us, Mr. Cameron had the legal right or power, in our judgement, to acquire a citizenship in the State of Tennessee, and upon the agreed state of facts submitted to us, we think he did so."
Now, having stated all these incontrovertible facts, what is the reason that this House will act as if [[?]]. Simply because I reflect the sentiments of my constituents, who do not believe that loyalty consists of inveterate hatred to the white people of this State. My people say that I am constitutionally eligible to a seat here. They voted intelligently for me and know all about my claims to citizenship. What right has the gentleman from Anderson and Campbell hereof None. What right has the gentleman from Jackson, with his double stars, here? None
