aOlTHERN CHRISTIANS NEED RE.
CONSTRUCTING

If Southern Christians are not much worse
than other classes Of people in the South, We
fear that the freedmen are not likely to have
either liberty or justice conceded to them in
that section for some time to come. The Pres
hyterian Inder, published at Mobile and New
Orleans, does mot hesitate to affirm that
the views aud opinions of Southern Chris.
tians on the subject of slavery have neither
been revolutioaized nor even modified BY the
events OF the past six ysars.t The same pa
per pretends to "honestly believe that the
true policy Of the church, having in view the
true elevation, as well as the salvation of col>
ored race, IS, SO far as their ecclesiastical re-
lations are concerned, to keep them as nearly
in their former position etowards us as their
changed social condition will admit. There
fore, instead Of repelling the charge made
against our General Assembly of trying to
bold the colored man in the church just as
he was before his emancipation, we confess
it, and glory in it.
GEN. AND SENATOR JOHNSON
The Chicago Times is losing its temper
now, having long since lost its discretion and
impaired its influence
lti down on Grant for favoring the Recon
struction Bill, asserts that the bill is uncon-
stitutional in its provisions, and insulting in
its intent to his commanding officer, the Pres.
ident of .he United States, and winds up BY
calling Grant fool. The Times says:
"If General Grant does not know that the
section is broadly. open to all these objec.
tions. he has not brains enough for the posis
tion he occupies, and his military career has
been successful mainly because of the truta
Of an old sdage which ascribes luck to a cer>
tain class Of people. If he has in any way
been Instrumental in procuring the insertion
of this obnoxious section in the army appro-
priaton bill, he has teen guilty of an act
which should, and will, when the political
passions of the hour have become cooled,
greatly tsrnish his reputation"
Reverdy johnson also supported the bill,
aud while the Times is constrained TO en-
dorse its former eulogies Of Senator John
son's abilities, it comes to the conclusion
that his mind is impaired by age. Il says:
''Reverdy johnson has been conceded BY
all parties to be one Of the ablest members
of the United States Senate. He illumnates
every subject discussed by him, but ls,terly
he has given evidence of failing powers"
an imbecile. according to the Times.
