of Mexico, sent there under Santa Anna,
to prevent them from getting their inde
pendence. Sometime after that, Gen.
Johnston continued to reside In Texas,
till he again entered the old army. At
a later day, he led the expedition to
Utah, and afterwards went TO California
TO live, where he was when the late war
broke out EspousiDg the Confederate
cause he crossed the Plains, and entered
service in his native State, Kentucky, and
was killed at Shiloh. 1u
This movement in Texas is good
one, but we of New Orleans ought to
remember that the remains of Albert
Sidney Johnston are inferred in ST.
Louis Cemetery, and thgt he has, as yet,
no suitable monument erected 10 mark
his grave We are surprised, indeed,
that his brother alumni Of West Point
and officers Of the old army have not yet
taken any step to erect one to his mem
ory. Graduates Of West Point certainly
cannot have so far forgotten their old and
honored comrade as TO have feeling
against him We believe there was no
officer in the old army who was SO highly
esteemed, and whenthe Government was
casting about for the most proper man
to lead the delicate expedition to Utah,
Col Johnston, then in Texas, was the
unanimous choice of the whole army
and country. And so energetically and
prudently did he lead 1t that 1t will ever
be one of the brightest pages of military
history. IN O. PicdyuRe

The plan of reconstruction reported
by the central junto at Washington CON

officers of the late Confederate Govern

participated in the rebellion. This is q

ship. The men who are 10 he excluded
from public Office embrace the talent,
genius, energy, public spirit, and chivalry
of that section. They were the leaders
Of the people in the rebellion as they
were of the people before the rebellion
occurred. To exclude them from Office
is to refuse the Offices to the men capable
of filling them with credit to themselves
and usefulness to the Government, and
confer them upon men who had neither
the genius or force Of character to enable
them to reach the grades in the army
above which those who did rise are to be
excluded Of course, only second and
third rate men, and out and out incom-
petents, will, under this policy, hold
Office, and the Government itself, and
the vital interests of the nation, will ne
cessarily suffer thereby No good pur-
pose can be subserved by such an ar
rangement, nor is any such pretense set
up, but the malignant hatred and re-
vengeful feelings Of the fanatical Jaco-
bins will be gratified, and that, and not
the public good and the national welfare,
is the ruling purpose. !
Again, all men who participated in the
rebellion, either directly or indirectlyiare
denied the right Of suffrage Who, we
ask, is to do the voting, or is any voting
to be done 1t is well known that almost
the entire body Of men Of the South were
connected with the rebellion in some way
or other. There are some, perhaps, who
.er truly say that they did not do 1t vol
UNFAIRLY, but where such are found, they
will invariably be Of the lowest and least
intelligent class of the population-men
who did not have courage enoughin their
soulless bodies TO strike q manly blow
for what all considered, or pretended to
consider, just and holy cause, and were
willing that others should do their light
ing We never saw in the South, during
the long years Of the rebellion, single
man who was willing to admit that be did
not believe IL was right and wish aud pray
for its complete success. Those, there
fore, who can now say that they were in
favor Of the rebellion and never gave II
voluntary aid, countenance or support,
in order 10 get vote, were towards and
hypocrites during the war, and are knayes
now, unworthy Of exercising any politi-
cal rights in republican government

piled to men engaged in rebellion" He
knows he don's tell the truth, when he makes
she assertion. He knows she term was origin

idsnt. He himself denounced soldiers who
were fighting the rebels on the battlefield,

nounced ell democrats IS copperhsads; NO
matter how much they were doing TO sustain
she Union and put down she rebellion. We
have been denounced, by snesking stsy at

Of the war, as copperhsad, although there
was never q moment of our life that We were
not opposed to rebellion. We never ceased
20 sustain the war for the putting down OF the
rebellion and the restoration of the Union,
though we did not indorse all the measures
of the administration and for this We were
called a copperhead. 1t did not make any
difference how much a man had done or was
doing to put down the rebellion, whether at
home or on the field OF bastls-if he was a
democrat he was, by these Niger worship

Our copperhsad neighbor can now take q
little of his own medicine. He and the re-
publican party claimed that the president
