eT Pay everywhere in the South fair
days wages for good days work, and
make pay the law foreVermore, and all
resistance to reconstruction would cease
forthwith. To give up the old practice OF
getting something for nothing - work
withoat pay-that is the hard thing which
the reEels refuse to do. as

State, ore among the demands of the Rad
ical party everywhere in the South.
Ignorance is bliss, is the answer OF the
rebels. If men are educated, how shall
they be compelled to work without pay ?
they anxiously inquire, and the inquiry is
pertinent to the situation. .-. s#
GT The Democrats in the Ohio Legis-
lature seem determined to make the most
of their power. To this erd they have
resolved that the State could be reds
tricted so as to give tn EN- thirteen out of
nineteen Congressman to be elected this

Schenck, Shellabarger, Eggleston, Ashley
and Lawrence. et f"'

he was "nigger," who, in the Mississippi
Convention, the other day, introduced a

gY Rev. Petroleum V. Nasty has gone
back to New Jersey, and has been elected
Chaplain of the Legislature In his open
ing prayer he said eve pray that the
Legislature of this winter may rebound to
the good of the State, and that our fair
fame may be maintained among the sister

Us The Copperheads Of Lancaster,
IN. H., a few days since, had a mass meet
ing, which they called a " Great Awaken
ing" In the published proceedings it
was, said that all of the officers of the
meeting-a President and six Weep resi-
dens-had hitherto acted with the Repub-
lican party. Several Of the gentlemen
named as Vice-P Presidents have published
letters, in which they deny having been
present, Or being in sympathy with the
meeting i ~
gy- The Philadelphia Press hints that
one. OF the latest projected Johnsonian
move is a scheme to revise the registry
lists by striking off large classes of blacks
and loyal whites now enrolled, and adding
numbers of disloyal names registered by
the old registers, thus defeating at the
polls the constitutions presented by the
conventions now in session. Hancock is
expected to lead off in this precious piece
of craftsmanship, and the other District
Commanders will be directed to follow.
1t is not likely that they will, nor is 1t at
all probable that Congress will quietly sit
and suffer this wrong
Us The Democrats who control the
New York Assembly opened their cam
paign for retrenchment and reform by
doubling the number of officer (and costs)
of the Assembly, and passing bill au-
thorizing the Comptroller of New York city
to distribute half million of dollars
among the poor is bait to catch votes.
Most of the half million will stick to the
palms Of the Copperhead gentlemen Sc

spurious humbug than Democratic profeS-
sions Of retrenchment, honesty and econo-
my never was passed by a counterfeiter
upon the public.

The Secretary complimented the re-
firing Governor for his patriotic
and able services during the war.
1t was cruel in the Senator thus
to remind the President of the heights
from which he had fallen. But then it is
natural that both should occasionally re-
cur to the time when they were loyal to
the nation, moored to its Fundamental
principles, and devoted to freedom and
equal rights, and that they sho1ld recall,
with longing regrets, the evidences they
then received Of the confidence reposed
in them by the friends of justice and the
National Union. Chicago Tribune.
