"NBERE ARE THE REST OF
THEM ~

We publish elsewhere report Of Gen. Bat
1er's speech In Boston on Reconstruction.
Ile thinks the Presidents plan and. tlst Of
Congress have their good points and those
not 70 good, as plans OF reconstructing the
Union Is between loyal and rebel States, aud
as between Northern and Southern whites,
but just here arises the question Is 'where arc
the rest Of them" AZ one would say when
bis .er,ant brings him his coffee and bread
for breakfast "where are the eggs and the
mcat,' 50 Gen. Butler nsks, when asked to
rennlte with our late Southern enemies
"where are our late Southern friends s''
Tho President is silent The Committee of
Fifteen arc silent. The House Of Representa-
uyes II silent. For ausht thai. &c. appcazs
the Sennte desires to be silcnt Or this point.
Gen. Butler Is Al old Democrat OF the days
when the term democrat" was defined by
Webster, the King Of photographers, to
mean lone who advocates the extension OF
the right Of suffrage to all classes of men,"
Gen. Butler therefore clef1n6 As required by
the true idea OF american democracy, that
the country shall give every man the right
to be the equal Of every other man II he can,
and that the rights oI those men who lave
UsSu Aallu141 aAA 1OaSAe eAuG ~ 3+At WILL us
ought TO have the same protection extended
10 thcu Is is given to the rebels, viz: the
ballot. He asks, and the loyal people
will repeat the question: Whea Congress
il engaged in reorgaulzinE the statss
why does it not speak out and do that which
it proposes The Southe1uers should do! Why
does the conquer1ng Government fear to do
Justice to its co1ored cltlzens:"
Gen: Butler predicts that the votes Of the
seeded States will prevent ths passage Of
the Congressional plan, and proposes sub.
stitute, tie main feature Of which Ia an
amendment to the Constitution which shall
provide that no State shAll require eny
qualification oi electors Which shall not bear
s1,ke on ali male citizens, without distinction
Of color OR race. This Is substantially the
same as Senator Stewards proposed amend
ment to the plan Of the Committee Of Fifteen,
and we hope It, or something like 1t. will be
pressed to successful vote in the Senate.
Meantime Gen. Bntler has struck the Ley
note OF the true policy ol reconstruction by
his emphatic question:" Where are the rest
Of them ~ Tue President aud Congress ad,
nit the rebel Southe1ueTs, but where arc the
loyal southe1nerss The country asks for
information, :" Where are the rest OF them ~

Infamous.

The Cincinnati Gazette insinuates that
Wilkes Booth was instigated by Andy
johnson to murder Lincoln. 1t re.
marks:
Judged by the desires of the rebel
leaders, and the results, no assassination
of ruler was ever so well planned or
successfully carried out And this was
no accident, for Booth knew johnson
intimately, and he sought, if he did not
have, an interview with him on the day
of the murder, showing continued init
macy. johnson is not new man. What
be is now in fact he always was in dis.
position. An acute observer, as an
actor of any talent must be, and boon
companion, as Booth was with Johnson,
could not but have discovered his fitness
for this purpose. Liquor brings out

Eternity.

Eternity has no gray hairs !" The
flowers fade, the heart withers, man
gro,s old and dies; the world lies down
in the sepulchre of ages, but time writes
no wrinkles on the brow of eternity.
Eternity Stupendous thought The
ever-present, unborn, undecaying-the
endless chain, comprising the life of Ged
the golden thread, entwining the uni
verse. Earth hath its beauties, but Time
shrouds them for the grave; its honors,
they are but the gilded sepulchres; its
pleasures are but bursting bubbles. Not
so in the untried bourn. In the dwelling
of the Almighty, can come no footstep
Of decay. Its day will know no darken-
ing-eternal splendors forbid the ap-
proach of night Its fountains will never
fail, they are fresh from the eternal
throne. Its glory will never wane, for
there is the ever present God. Its har-
monies will never cease; exhaustless
love supplies the song
