he believes Anirow Johnson to be a

Because he is turning loyal men out
of offices by thousand to make room for
rebels and traitors.
Because he has appointed Tennessee
legislative boilers to Office as a reward
for their revolutionary and siliainous con-
duct.
Because he betrayed the Breckenridge

elected.

RoMANTIC.-A little bit of "romance
in real life" came off in central Ohio, u
few days since. A Mss Libbie p, after
a long and undated perseverance on the
part of sutton, and decided stand in his
favor by her "cruel parents" consented
to give her hand away, even if the
heart didn't 90 with it. Accordingly,
al early day was set for the marriage
ceremony, and at the appointed time, the
bridegroom elect, with party of select
friends, hastened to the home of his af-
famed, only TO find the household in vio-
lent CONSERVATION at her mysterious dis
appearances. Anxious inquiry and Wig
erous search, soon led to the following
development Libbie, two hours before
his arrival, had taken the morning train
for Columbus, in company with young
gentleman, for whome it had long been
known she had decided preference !;
aud brief expIt nitOry noto left st the
station for the expectant bridegroom,
further informed them that ''Pres. w.
and Libbie p. would join hands with long
joined hearts that day, at l. o'clock, III
the Capital City.
The disappointed Larty did not make
fool of himself, but went home at once,
aud, the next day the happy young cou
pie returned from there bridal tour to
receive the warm congratulations of
friends AID acquaintance.

PRETTY COCOA little incident oc.
Cured recently in relation to hiring pas
tor of one of our churches which is decid
eddy good. A part of the society were in
favor of change of pastors. or at least
said it would be necessary, as the salary
could not be raised to keep the present
one anether year. 1t was said attempts
had been made 10 vain to raise the
amount. A meeting of the society was
called, and when organized, young man
never before seen at such meeting, rose
and made motion that the present pas
tor be engaged for another year. The
motion WAS received with establishment
at first, but soon some of the members oi
the church rose and said it would be no
use to carry such motion, as they could
not raise the salary required. The young
man making the motion quietly remark
ed that he would furnish the amount.
The OPPOSITION could say nothing. The
motion was carried, the amount raised in
two days, and vexed question settled

How They Reconstruct.

Not long since, an ex Lieutenant Col
onel of the Federal amry was travelling on
the cars, short way south of Jackson,
Mississippi. On the seat before him
sat three men in conversation. One of
the party tur ned around and asked the
soldier where he lived. He answered
that he resided in Coffee county, Tennes
see. "But where did you come from
originally Z" persisted the inquirer
"From New York" "Then you are a
Cd d-m Yankee" Not satisfied
with this uncalled for abuse, one of the
three passed pistol to the speaker. and
all rose to their feet, evidently mean
ing mischief Seeing this, the soldier
promptly produced bis weapon, and
threatened to shoot the first man that at
tempted to move into the aisle, between
the seats. The threat produced the de-
sired result, and the msrauding party
subsidized. But on the arrival of the
train at Jackson, the three disturbers
sought to incite a riot against the inof-
fensive passenger, who sought to defend
himself from wantonly murderous at
tack. TO prevent difficulty, the con
ductor started the cars ahead Of time.
We state this fact, not so much for
itself, as to point moral. These vim
dictive acts of violence are of daily oc-
currence throughout the South, and
show the animus of the people. not so
much by the acts themselves, for there
are lawless men in every community,
but by the acquiescence they receive at
the hands of all. 1t is significant that
no indignity offered to a former Union
soldier meets with hearty and voluntary
rebuko. Ii is well understood that a
loyalist may be insulted, set upon by
braves beaten or murdered, with very
little chance of obtaining even handed
justice. Shall we be told that whole
States, where such condition of af-
fairs is not only tolerated, but encour
aged, are fit for participation in the Ma
tional Government? Are such evidences
of sectional hate and vindictiveness.
towards al who love the Stars and
Stripes, the nigh tests that are to prove
the eminent fitness of again clothing a
lately rebellious people with power TO
disturb the peace of great nations As
well might we arm the assassin with the
dagger intended for our vitals. No. the
South cannot be restored to her ancient
rights, until she shows by h,r acts that
size is prepared to vindicate free speech,
a free press, aud equal and exact justice
to all men.
When we see the tail Of fox sticking
out of hole, we know that the fox is IN
side. The incessant prosecutions of
Union men, especially of those who
rought ~ preserve the government, such
as the one we chronicle above, are 60
many tails of foxes. We advise the South
to get red of those fox tails rs rapidly
as possible. They stand wonderfully in
the way of her political and material ad
vancement.

If anything were necessary after the
plain, straightforward and soldier-like
statements Of Gen. Sheridan and other
strictly reliable witnesses, to prove the
utterly lawless and muderous action of
the New Orleans officials in the late riot,
or rather massacre, it is furnished in the
evidence from the report of the commits

port states that "the police force was
found guilty of nearly all the murders
that were committed" The police force
