Appoantment a. . provldonal Governor
Hbr Florids-Progrsss Of Southern Res-
toratA0n.
The President has now provided ell the late
rebellious States with Provisional Governors.
The appointment Of Judge William Marvin e.
Provisional Governor Of the State of Florida
completes the list and the machinery for the
restoration Of the Southern States, under the
Presidents practical policy, Is now in full OPP
Grafton. Judge Marvin il q native Of this State,
but has been for several years resident Of
Key West, where be served in the capacity Of
United States District Judge. His duties and
instructions in his new capacity are the same
as have been given to the Provisional Govern
ors of all the other Southern States.
In all of those States where the Provisional
Governors have entered upon the discharge Of
their duties the best Of results have followed
The affairs connected with their local govern
ment are fast becoming adjusted to the new
order Of things, with every prospect Of early
resuming amicable relations with the general
government By the time that Congress assem-
bles nearly If not all Of those States will have
been regenerated, their constitutions and laws
adjusted to the new status which they find
themselves in by the results Of the rebellion,
and their representatives be knocking at the
doors of our national legislative halls for adj
mission. Such, at least, are the present indica-
tons and probabilities from the rapidity with
which the Southern people are wheeling into
line. Tired, weary and Disguised with the
despotism of the rebellion; sickened,
sore and disheartened by the priva-
tions and suferings which secession has
brought to their doors, they receive
the restoration policy Of the President with
open arms. The great mass of the Southern
people rejoice at the opportunity to render
all the aid in their power to the officials APP
pointed for the purpose of bringing them
back to the Union fold, and restoring peace
and tranquility to their several States. The in
exorable logic ofthe events Of the last four years
has taught them lesson which they will not
very soon forget They now realize the value
of the Union, and can appreciate its many
blessings. II let alone by the disunion and
dsorganizing factions Of the North, and per-
mitted to work out their own transition,
through the assistance of the practical policy
of President Johnson, they will soon come
forth the most thoroughly loyal of any section
of the country.
The only danger which now exists arises
from the ofHciousness and intermeddling of the
radical revolutionary faction and the secession
lists of the North. Both Of these factions in
the Northern States have already assumed
- kbn Droo
dents policy, and are doing all that lies within
their power to prevent its being successful
They are encouraging the old secession leaders
in various ways, and melting the blacks to
mutiny, and thus threatening another revolu-
ton. The organs Of the Northern secessionists
are clarifying the leading rebels, constantly
lauding them, while the Jacobins of New Eng
land boldly assert their determination not to
permit any of the newly elected representa-
lives from the Southern States admission into
Congress, except they come through their plan
of universal negro suffrage. Thus while the
rebel organs in our midst are defending the
rebel leaders and encouraging them to retain
their hostility to the federal government, the
radicals are furnishing them with the precise
argument which they desire to appeal to the
people with should they consider it wise to
try their hands once more Those men who
led the South into the rebellion, who staked
their reputation upon its success and remained
foremost in all its efforts to break down the
power of the federal government, know that
they can never regain their position of promi-
nence and influence in the restored Union, and
do not wish any connection whatever with
the government at Washington. Nothing, there
fore, would please them better than the very
treatment of the South which the radicals
threaten. They will take it as an endorsement
South in regard to the North. Their hope is
that the course of the North will be such as to
defeat all the hopes of the people for an AMIGA
BILE adjustment in the Union, and compel them
to look to their old leaders TO get them out of
their perplexing difficulties.
This isths work which the radical Jacobins
of New England and the Northern secessionists
are now performing. This is the special field in
which they are laboring with their new dis
union alliance. They are thus not only i'm
| periling the whole country, but are melting
insurrcction and counting another war; As far
as the negroes are concerned, the direct evils
which the radicals are bringing upon them can
be seen in the comparison of their position in
Maryland to that of the other States where
Chase and his radical comrades have been
trying To instil into the minds Of the blacks
fancy humanitarian notions Of their rights and
duties. There are no complaints of lawlessness
or Incidence from either the State Of Maryland
or Missouri Their services command fair
wages and are in great demand. They have no
trouble in adapting themselves to the new order
of things. But in all of those States in which
the radicals have taken the negro under their
