ed" by portion Of the Southern people
"The South, in tae 6rst period which
marked the collapse of the rebellion,
seemed to accept the situation with man
ly frankness, which was met on the part
of the North with magnanimity which
has no parallel in history. No sooner,
however, had the Southern people recov-
cred from the first shock Of the collapse
than their former blind guides, the poll
ticians and editors of the Southern jour-
mails, began to stir up discomfort and q
spirit of defiance among thea The
spirit was shown in it's most aggressive
forms in the abuse of the freedmen, the
enactment of laws evidently designed to
punish them for having been made free,
although they, the enactors of those laws,
were themselves responsible for their
being free. The retention of a small
portion of the vast army which subdued
the rebellion, scattered in. small squads
through the country, was denounced as
military despotism.' Commanders of
departments and districts, officers whom
the loyal portion of the people had
learned to reverence for their patriotic
service, were freely denounced as mill
tary satraps,' and their earnest efforts to
| faithfully serve their Government, where
they happened to class with the old dis
loyal prejudices, loudly characterized as

miles from this city, and Wills on his,
way be became impressed with the idea
that, if be would get down on his knees
in the road and pray, his speech would
be restored So powerful did this i'm
preston become that he obeyed the pre-
monition, and, there in the road, he
poured out his supplications to God,
asking Him, il consistent with His Di-
vine will, to restore bis lost speech. Vi
After concluding his prayer, he arose
from bis knees aud went on toward the
