PoL1r1cA1 STATUS OF THE SOUTH

POLITICAL STATUS OF THE SOUTH
The South has been conquered, but it
is still an open question how it is
! henceforth to be ruled. The combat
| between Federals and Confederates
| may be over, but the contest between
Republicans and Democrats is about
to be recommended. Under these cir
cunstances it is impossible to avoid
feeling that the Southern people are
exercising sound discretion in ac-
ceptlng the consequences of the mill
tary success of their late opponents,
and once more undertaking the duties
OF loyal citizens to the established
government. In many respects the
South Is much better placed than such
nations as the Polish or the Hun
gaflan, which have endeavored in vain
10 1ree themselves from an oppressive
yoke. The Government in the United
states IS constantly changing. and.
;lIth1ugh az III the minority at present,
ne .'ie democrats may once more secure
the ascendant. What may be the
future of the South it isimpossible to
say, out 1t could never do such as to

any event, however, the people of the
Southern States do we'll to accept their
