any claim to confidence or regard either
for their sincerity or honesty of purpose.
After the departure Of the South Caro-
lima delegation the coast will be clear for
sny citizens of Florida, who have been
unusually prompt in the late rebellion, to
put in an appearance AMI tender to the

duct Of affairs in thst-the lsst Of the rebel
States to seek for restoration under the
Presidents plan Of reconstruction.

tains the substance of the opposite state
ments of the Republican and Imperial

his attempt 70 capture the town, that Me-
jas command was receiving important as
sistsnee from American rebels on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande.
Mejis claims that the principal credit for
holding the place is due to his own skin

moras, since the date Of the previous Sc
counts.
