We make the following, truthful extract >
from speech recently delivered in the House
of Representative, by Mr. SheIlabarger, Of
Ohio. Mr. Shellabarger is one Of the ablest
and most patriotic members Of the House:
.Sir, let me once for all say now perhaps
the last time that I shall ever speak upon tho
subject in the american House Of Represen-
tatiyes-that if my government shall, in any
policies of reconstruction that may be adopS
ted abandon to their fate the man Of thss
South who stood by their country when
their country SO much needed friends there ;a
the men who proved their love of country
when to prove it meant to die; and who.
proved it by receiving upon their, own and
their wives and children's defencelees heads
the storm of o huge and merciless treason
and shall now, in the day Of the nation's
triumph, consign them and their little ones,s
and the power of their States, to the domin-
ion of those who made the rebellion, and
whose almost tendercst mercies and best loy-.
atty the nation, appalled, with horror, has
just read in the fire and blood of Memphis
to withhold from these authors and archi-
ern patriots and the nations safety demands
to &c withheld, then will indeed the day
have come when for our country it win have
ceased to be even decent to die, and when
our country will itself be dead" fF'f
The Tenure of office bill recently passed
by Congress should have been framed tho
Chronicle admits, and we presume was 80
framed, to secure the Offices Of the govern
ment to those who are called the friends OF
the Union," l. e. the Radicals. If this is not
a misnomer, thereis no meaning in language.
We should like to know in what sense ultrn
Radicals are friends of the Union," or what
kind of o Union are they friends off,
Sentinel. s ..s ~ f,
The Radicals are the real friends of the
Union, and those who oppose them are its
enemies. The Radicals, or Republicans,
fought for four long years to save the Union
against just such infamous traitors as the
Editors of the Sentinel. And if the Radi-
Gals or Republicans of the United States,
with the Unionists of the insurgent States,
of both races, are not to control absolutely,
now and hereafter, the legislation and the
policy of the country, then the blood of
Union soldiers was poured out in vain, and
we shall have very hell of secession, an
archy and Mexicanization from the st. Law
renee to the Rio Grande. H9
MIR. johnson said in one of his speeches on
his Western tour, that he would "kickn his
enemies out of office. AL such traitors as
the Editors of the Sentinel ought to thank
God that they are not "kicked" out Of the
country. What have they to do with the
offices of country which they sought,to
ruin, and whose flag they would tear down
and trail in the dust, if they dared to do sol
Fuueral Obsequies of Gen. Johnson-
Excitement in Texas. st
It seems that the remains of Gen. Albert
Sidney johnson were recently removed from
| New Orleans to Galveston, to be inferred in
Texas. Preparations were made in Calves
ton for an imposing funeral display, Places
of business were closed and the City was
draped in mourning Gen. Griffin, in com
mand of the national forces, made no objec-
ton to ordinary funeral services, but he for
bade the splendid and imposing display
which the authorities proposed to make.
The Mayor of Galveston then appealed to
Gen. Sheridan to set aside the order of Gen.
Griffin, to which Gen. s. replied as follows: |:
SR.-I respectfully decline to grant your
request have too much regard for the
memory of the brave men who died TO per-
petuate our Government, to authorize Con-
federate demonstrations over the remains Of
any one who attempted to destroy it.
p. II. SHERIDAN,
Maior-General United States Army.
Great excitement ensued. The coffin or
sarcophagus was kept in the street all day,
and thousands of the people crowded around
to see the remains. Afterwards the remains
were taken to Houston. The buildings were
draped in mourning, and thousands Of peo-
pie met the body at the depot. The body
was then taken; to Austin for interment.

speech recently delivered in New York, in
furtherance of the movement to aid suffering
persons in the South, said: h.
