l-y" Reconstruction is now the greatest
question before Congress. The views of
many of the Union members are, as might
be expected, varied and sometimes antaSon-
istica. The views of the so.callcd dem

accomplish by joining forces with the late
rebels. What The status of the states was
during the Rebellion is, we think, if no
great importance. What they are now,
ought to be, and must bt, is the great qucs-
tion. In this respect they may be properly
