industry and enterprise Were paralyzed through
out the STATE; that the conditions jntimated by
the President as likely to be those required would
be anticipated ais they had been expected! He
stated that the people of the South had come out
ofthe' struggle wiser than they wentintD il, and

successful measure, than the people of the South.
