EVERYTHING LOVELY.
\ Little Reconciliation all that i Needed

The work Of reconciliation has outrun expec-
taiiou. IuGeel, it has never had a parallel in
human Affairs. With internal commorions and
disturbances less serious than those which some
times attend popular elections in free couniry
in time of profuurd peace, the heretofore dis
loyal people Of Virsinia, Tennessee. North Car
olina South Carolina. Georgia, Arkansas, 'iis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Florida and Texas, suc,es-
siyeiy, nay, almost simultaneously, assembled
and adopted new constitutions, in conformity
with the Constitution Of the United States
They upturned rebellion With all its far-spread-
ing roots aud all its poisonous fruits, and they
accepted and ratified the pending Congressional
amendment to the Constitution Of the United
States, which aholishts slavery thenceforth for
ever. The people Of these States have at the
same time chosen for themselves governors, leg
isatures. iudiciaries, and municipal authorities.
Between the federal government snd these re-
stored and reorganized State governments there
exists now a more complete and practical har-
mony than has ever before prevailed between
the Union and 80 many Of its members since II
was mrs, established. Within the same time the
Executive Department Of the United States has
assumed its functions among the people Of the
former disloyal States. The State Department
speaks for them with their full consent TO prin-
cipahties and powers. The Treasury COLLECTS the
national imposis and taxes there; the War De-
partment distributes its forces whenever and
wherever il seems necessary and expedient tc
