Gov. Pierpont, Of Virginia, il is said, ia
yored the passage of the Civil Rights bill
Thereapon the Richmond Eratsiner-Rebel
throughout and to the core-tht5s denounces
him:
Sat the first blush this seems wholly in
credible; and we confess that vse have been
with difficulty convinced oil its entire truth,
and that, too, very much agails st our will.
That this man, who had ut least been invested
with an honorary degree in our3Goyernment.
by the grace of President johnson, who had
been welcomed among us as at least sort Of
King Log, who wonid do us no harm If he
could do us no good. and who protested that
he came here with the best motives and with
the sincerest desires to have tile State reha-
biiitated as soon as PRACTICAL ie-that this
man. SO raised. so welcomed, and SO fall Of
stimulated friendship for us. should now prove
an migrate to his eminent benefactor. should
SO wotully disappoint the hopes born of his
own professions, is thing too monstrous to
invite an easy credence. But we will submit
facts to candid WORKPLACES that are al
ready known, and facts that can be proved,
if qnestoned-and by these let Francis H.
Pierpont be judged
The Examiner proceeds to show, inferen-
TALLY, that Gov. Pierpont influenced Senator
Wiley to vote to pass the Civil Rights bill
THUS has King Log become King Stork.

but over US. The friend Of Simmer and Ste
vens fills our highest Office, labors against our
known interests, and diligently seeks occa-

than We have mentioned that 60 to show. how
fully he is, soul and body, An enemy to Vir-
ginia and Andrew johnson. Remarks and
acts of his here within the past few days
which we are not at liberty to disclose) tell
plainly that he has sold himself completely
to the Radicals, and that he is prostitutng
the influence of his position to an utter oppo-
sition to the Presidents wise plan of recon
struction. In taking leave Of this worthy. we
commend him earnestly to the gratitude of
the people, and to the special consideration
of the President of the United States
In a book Just published by an ex-clerk,
Jones, of the Rebel War Department, we
read of one Taylor, Governor Of Arizona
who sent an order to military commander
