A Bit of Plain Truth.

The recent breaking up by mob of a 10y
al meeting in Texas, and the shooting of a
Republican orator, makes the testimony of
\. j. Hamilton, the first Provisional Cover
nor, as given in a recent speech at Austin,
peculiarly significant and timely
50 Upon the surrender of the Confederate ar
mics you all felt that you had lost the rights
that you once enjoyed under the Constitution
When entered the State as Provisional Cover
nor in 1868, citizens hocked to meet me to talk
with me about the condition of the country !:
and from my landing in Galveston until reach
ell this city heard but one expression from the
secessionists. They said frankly that they had
tried to set up government and had failed.
They had done their best They threw them
selves upon the cemency Of the conQueror
They would be content if their lives were spared
and what was left Of their property not taken
from them They thought it right that the work
Of reconstruction should be committed to the
friends of the United States Government. They
were willing to remain in the back ground An
who hear me know that | speak the truth. And
You know, too, that it was but little time until
all this was changed. Just so soon as a differ
ence between the President and the party that
elected him 10 Office began to develop itself YOU
changed your tone. | am speaking now 10 Sc
cessionists. And when the policy of the Presi-
dent ripencd into what you thought was a deter
mination on his part to form political alliance
with you, YOU became arrogant and denunciatory,
toward Union men, so much so that you pro
claimed openly, before | left the State in 1866,
that services to the Confederacy constituted the
best claim to official position"
There is nothing truer than this, and it
as true for the other Southern States as for
Texas The South at the close of the war
was ready to accept any terms short of uni
yersal confscation. The North on Its part
was willing to he lenient and generous to-
wards the late foes of the Government. The
change to sullen rancor at the South and TO
stern exaction at the North, is largely the
work Of Andrew johnson. and he has
heavy account to settle for it, with his coun-
try and his conscience, if he has one.
