GEN. CUSTER was the only Union officer of
any military note in the Philadelphia Com
vention. On the 10th of last March he APP
peared as a witness before the Joint Com
mittee on Reconstruction, and gave this
testimony:
al do not regard the people in that por-
tiOn of the Southern country in which |
have been as in a proper condition or as
manifesting proper state of feeling to he
restored to their former rights and privile-
ges under the General Government and |
do not they have been sulficietly taught the
enormity of the crime they have committed
by rebelling against the Government. |
think the Government ought to maintain
control of those States that were in the re-
bellion until it is thoroughly satisfied that
loyal sentiment prevails in at least a ma
jority of the inhabitants-that certainly
does not exist now and when allowed
representation none but loyal men should
be admitted as representatives. Five years
ago the Southern people voluntarily aban-
doned their rights and privileges as States
in the Union, and with their rights and
privileges they forfeited their share in the
General Government.
Having waged bloody and determined
war for four years to carry out their de-
signs against the Government and having
failed up to the present time to manifest a
penitent spirit for the crime committed
against the nation or TO give proper and
sufficient guarantee for future good conduct
cannot but give it as my opinion that
just regard for our national safety in time
to come, our obligations to foster and en-
courage throughout the Southern States a
proper regard and affection for the national
authority, as we'll as to give support to
those who are and have been loyal imper
atively demand that the Government should
maintain its present control Of the States
lately in rebellion until satisfied that they
may, without detriment, be entrusted with
their former rights and privileges"
Gen. Custer, and any other man of COM
mon intelligence in the nation, knows that
the temper of the Southern people this
| August is much worse than it was last
March. All the reasons assigned by the
General then for enforcing stringent con-
ditions on them apply with far greater
force now They have changed for the
worse, and Gen. Custer too

LIFE'S LOT.
know not if the dark or bright
Shall be my lot
II that wherein my hopes delight
Be best, or not.
Itmay be mine to drag for years
Tolls heavy chain;
Or day and night my meat be tears
On bed Of pain.
Dear faces may surround my hearth
With smiles and glee;
OrImay dwell alone, and mirth
Be strange to me.
My bark is waited to the strand
BY breat divine,
And on the helm there rests hand
Other than mine.
One who has known in storms to sail
have on board;
Above the raging Of the gale
hear my Lord.
He holds me with the pillows smile,
| shall not fall:
II sharp, It's short if long, It's light;
He tempcrs all.
Safe to the land, safe to the land
The end is this
And then with him 90 hand in hand,
Far into bliss.

FERNANDO WooD went out of the Phila-
delphia Convention for the sake of harmo-
ny, and Alex. II. Stephens, ex-rebel Vice
President, went in for the same reason It
seems that the Rebel-Johnson party can
welcome any thorough, blood-dyed rebel,
but spurns anything like semi-rebels. If
Fernando had been able to prove that he
killed a nigger" during the copperhead
riots of 1868, or that he had shot Provost
Marshal he could have gone in without IL
quiry. He has credit for the will, but reb-
els don't excuse cowardice. Gen. Albert
Pike, who commanded q regiment of scalp
ing Indians in the rebel service, passed in
without question, His credentials were
eminently satisfactory. Fernando must
proceed to butcher at least one "nigger7 ,
