! I'd
the PRESIDENT TO the PROVISIONAL s5oV-
ernor Of tins State dated August -
1865, and endeavers 70 produce tne nm
preston that the PRESIDENT instructed
his representative that IN making ap-
Pointments ne must not ooersoofs OF
set aside the claims OF those who nave
never faltered In their allegiance 70 the
government" The language OF the
President is as follows; ! 10 impress
upon you the importance OF encouraging
and strengthening to the fullest extent
the men OF your State who have never
faltered IN their allegiance to the gov
eminent" Now, who were these men Z
Surely not the secesslonlsts OF the iat-
ter-day war men. The men who had
"neyer faltered'Awere extreme, uncon-
ditional, "straitest sect" Union men.
This was what the President meant.
He directed the PROVISIONAL governor
to encourage and strengthen these cltl-
zens to theJitltest e'cte'st'--how Wny'
by preferrlng them Ior once. lhey
were not merely not to be overlooked
or set aside, but they were TO De pre-
terred for Office The PROVISIONAL Gov
ernor followed these directions as close
~ as possible; ana ior tms' as wen as
for his administration generaiiy, ne re-
ceived from the PRESIDENT hlmsei1 tne
most marked and emphatic approval OF
his conduct. The President has not

they snail take a prominent part IN tne
work OF restoration. lie does not ex-
pect the Congress to admit MIR. Gra-
ham and MIR. Turner to their seats, and
therefore, though recently appealed to

SO. Who is to blame Tor that? is Hol-
