Prrsid~at Gov. Ns-ore - frosn
Lancaster. Ohio; . graduate Of \ ale
Collage aud lawyer by profession.
At the beginning of the late war he
volunteered in the Union army aud
attained the rank of Brigadier Cen
eral. At the close OF :he war, ia con-
sequence ofa gunshot wound received
in his lungs. he f,and it necessary
to seek a more genial climate; he
took up his residence in Arkansas
and engaged in planting cotton, en-
ploying 200 negro laborers upon his
plantation. His immediate eigh-
bors, on either side, were a COnfed-
crate General and Confederate
Colonel. His intercourse with his
neig ghbors was of the most amicable
aud friendly character. He fonnd
his negro Iaborers, during the first
season, dociIe, and, under proper
discipline, manageable and obedient.
His experience and observation con-
vinced him that the governing classes
Of the South accepted their defeat as
tinality and that no people were
ever moro sincere in their determin-
alton to maintain their allegian ce to
the Government in the future aud to
exert themselves to the utmost to re-
pair the errors Of the past. He ex-
presses the decides conviction that
had the policy ofthe President been
accepted by the North as it was by
the people of the South, and had it
been carried out in good faith, the
Southern States to-day would have
bcen the most prosperous portion of
Union, yielding immense revenues
to the Government instead of being
an immense burden, and no portion
of the people, North or South, black
or wl.itc, would have suffered by it.
Immediately on the announcement
of Thad. Stevens policy of recon-
struction Of the Southern States in
special interest Of the Republican
PARTY, together with the suggestion
Of transferring the political power in
those States from the whites to the
negroes, a general panic seized the
people, paraiyzing enterprise and de-
ranging all systematic effort. The
negroes, undcrthe influence Of Rad
icaI emissaries, became ut once un-
manageable and totally unreliable 10
the planters for planting or securing
their crops. 1t was solely on that
account that Gov. Moore closed his
planting operation and left Arkansas.
Under the reconstruction policy
there is no portion of the South either
safe, profitable or agreeable to any
white man of decent character.
We gather the facts which we
have briefly stated in several person
al interviews with Gov. Moore, and
while he is no obstructive politician,
there is nothing in these statements
which he careA to disguise or sup
press. The results Of his observation
aud experience are confirmed by ev-
cry officer Of the army who has been
in the South since the war. except

out the Radical policy. live wanted
