Remaining Rebels.
The developments which have followed the
public announcement of the Presidents policy
of reconstruction conclusively prove that the
war has brought about revolution in the
sentiments of the great mass of the Southern
people more complete and thorough than was
ever before known in the history Of the world.
From every section of the Southern States the
tidings come to us that the people receive Mr..
Johnson's policy with great cordiality. Not
only is this the case with those who have
received full pardon by the provisions OF the
amnesty proclamation, but also by large
portion of those who belong to the excepted
classes. The latter are rushing to Washington
by scores, pleading for pardon and asking for
an opportunity to assist in carrying out Mr..
Johnson's plan for ihe reorganization of the
Southern States. Their conversion seems to be
complete, their penitence sincere, and their
anxiety to return to the Union more earnest
than was their desire to leave it four years ago.
They are, in fact, transformed by the hard
lessons and practical results of the war from
open rebels to the most thorough loyalists.
