RecOnstruction.

We publish on the opposite page the i'm
portant address of the Union COMPRESSION
al Committee to the people Of the South,
in which the intention of the Reconstruc-
tion acts, and the policy of Congress are
fully and clearly defined. II declares that
lie Republican party passed the Recon
struction laws as measures OF restoration,
and not of punishment; that it will exact
compliance with conditions making re-
newal of civil war impossible; that it will
secure the freedmen the full and equal
rights of citizens 1t asks the freedmen to
sustain with their votes this policy, and all
the people of the South to freely accept
Universal Suffrage, to unite in the estab-
lishment of puolic schools, and to favor
the distribution Of lands With express
emphasis it affirms that IF the people OF
the States lately in rebellion shall cheerful
ly and in good faith reorganize their gov
ernments upon the principles of the laws
passed by Congress, there will then remain
no causes of differences between the vari-
Gus sections ofthe country" In this adj
mirable address, TO borrow the language OF
a contemporary, the spirit of revenge, which
We are told is the spirit of the Republican
party, has no expression. Restoration, con-
citation, friendship, prosperity, md all
rights for all, are the watchwords of the
party, and we rejoice that the Rcpubli-
cans OF Congress have proclaimed them.

EGYPTIAN CORN,

which, upon trial, was found to ripen, planted
even the last of July. Ii is estimated. from
its Very prolific qualities, to WELD 30 bushels
per acre. and weighs by sealed measure. sixty
five pounds to the bushel. This corn was pro-
cuced by some procured direct from Mr.. Jones,
our consular agent, directly on his return
from Egypt.
Ii needs no different culture from that of
other varieties, and in the South two crops
can be raised in one season on the same
ground. Ii grows in the form of q tree, and
thirty four ears have grown upon one stalk,
and will average from FIVE 70 fifteen. Fer
domes tic use it is unparalleled. When
ground and properly bolted, it is equal in col
or and fneness TO wheaton flour. AS forage

ly feed, there is no corn so well adapted to
mich cows, and none that will yield half the
value in stalk or corn.
1t can be successfully grown in any State.

The Democracy OF 1917 VS..
Democracy of lS6l--61

InIS47, a Convention of the Democracy
of this district held at Plymouth, ii was
unanimously resolved that, "Whcn our
country is engaged in war--real, actual,
terrible Wharf.-The man who stands coldly
back to calculate the causes or the chan
ces OF the struggle, whatever his profession
NAV he, he as at heart q tr0itOr."
This was the sentiment of the Demo
cratic party then; bat II years later, when
war was rocking the nation as with the
throes of an earthquake, and the very pill
lars of the Union seemed about to be over
thrown, Democratic orators croaked their
cowardly prophecies and gave theirtrcach-
erOus advice AT every crossroads, and
when in convention assembled. demand
ed" an unconditional surrender to the reb-
els who were fighting for its overthrow.
We assert without fear of successful con-
tradictiOn that scarcely one of the party
organs in the loyal States during the war
expressed clear, unqualified desire for
the triumph of the Union cause. They
teemed with abuse ofevery measure adopt
ed to save the country from destruction,
and when ut last the assassin struck down
Mr.. Lincoln, many of them rejoiced at the
fiendish deed. Ii the Democracy was right
in 1917, then the Democrats oflS6l 10 1861
were ''ot heart traitors" and as such
ought not to be entrusted with power

The Secret History Of the
War.

There are many persons who believe that
the unwritten history of the Rebellion is
even darker and more terrible than that
which we know; that beneath the crimes
which were proclaimed and boosted of as
virtues lurked other crimes more hideous.
Since the end Of the war, rumors of the
kind have been common. No doubt there
is ground for the suspicion that the worst
elements of treason wrought in darkness
from which they have not vet been drag
ged, for in ali history we come to doors
that are barred, and pits in which myster-
les are buried Few believe that every
thing is known Of the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, and ignorance and i'm
agination have shaped the widest conjec-
lures OF the secret history Of that tragedy.
Nothing that is known sustains these
rumors, but the curiosity which gives them
value welcomes every new fact.
We print to-day important documents
concerning these mysterics-the first, the
Diary Of John Wilkes Booth, written as
he fled, not so much from the officers of
the law as from the vengeance of nation.
The testimony which accompanies it set
Ties the question ofits mutilation by officers
OF the Government. We see no reason for
the supposition that any important pass
ages were suppressed. 1t throws no light
upon the conspiracy, but.itreveals much of
the assassin Remorse caught no with
Booth long before he was oyertaken by
man. What has been DONE" he wrote.
Ills me with horror The wild and des
pairing records in this brief record are
interesting in themselves, but they do not
lit the vail from the long plotting, and
hiding, and riding to ana fro, which prece-
ded the assassination.
Nor do our extracts from Gen. Baker $

Of his remarks said he had been asked
whether the Sherman Reconstruction Bill

answer that the South itself should decide
that. As to confiscation, of which they
seemed to be afraid, he protested that no

there was not Republican in Congress

Military Bill was rejected, as the COnsti-

he would have spoken in Mobile, had the
people listened to him. and to assure them
that all they had read in the papers about
using exasperating or offensive words were
merely creations of the imagination.
Judging from the cordial reception which
the Judge met with at its conclusion, and
openly expressed accordance with his
views, ii would appear that he made some
converts among the ex-COnfederates and
all doubtful believers in the Military bill.

The Excuse for California.

A portion of the California Radicals not
liking their candidate for Governor, nom
mated another Radical for whom they
could cast their votes. This fact they
claim lost them the State.
If the returns from California, as we re-
ceive them from Abolition sources, be true.
the Democratic candidate for Governor has
more votes than both the Abolition, Negro
Suffrage candidates combined, with two or
three thousand to spare, and hence the fact
of the Radicals running two candidates
could not have altered the result. All the
Radical State Ticket shared the fate of the
Governor. as did also the Radical Disunion
candidates for Congress, two-thirds, if
not the entire batch, of whom have leave
to stay at home.
The sweep is one in which there is no
mistake. 1t is rebuke that the party in
power must feel, for the Abolition sheets
own that it was mainly fought on the cor
ruption of Radicalism.
