when Congress prepared to substitute genuine re-
vance, lCopperhead exchange
What is genuine reconstructiOnW We
contend that it is that form OF ~"iVn in which
all men are free and equal-the sins of the
Rebel forgotten, and the rights of the Freed
man assured We could have wished this
through the operation of Impartial Suffrage
and Universal Amnesty. We cannot now reach
it that way, thanks to Andrew Johnson and the
Rebel spirit which he has famed into new life.
We must try another. First, we must secure
the rights of the loyal. We must give them the
ballot, and the State Governments. We must
make them strong enough TO protect them
selves. We must oyerride-sweep away, If
necessary crush every impediment in the way.
This is the demand Justice makes upon us, and
that demand we are now answering to the best
of our power. That being over, we are willing
to think of Mercy, and we shall insist upon the
largest remission of sins aud the fullest COM
munion of citizenship This will make genuine
reconstruction" We are hard at work at one
branch of it, and just now propose only to do
one thing at a time. Justice now, Mercy when
the time comes

The latest adyices from the River Plate state
that once more the prospects Of Paraguay were
improving; that President Lopez was taking the
offensive, and had twice bombarded the Brazil
ian camp with effect. But much more import
ant than this improved position of President
Lopez is the spreading of the civil war in the
Argentine Republic In the first months OF the
year 1867 there was powerful insurrection in
the western provinces, and, though 1t was finally
put down, it is well known that there still are
thousands of malcontents In that part of the re-
public. More recently another insurrection, at
least equally formidable has broken out at Ro-
sario, and ID Ia now announced that the insurrec-
ton prevails in the province Of Entire Rios.
The leaders of this insurection, who are de-
cidedly opposed to the continuation of the war
against Paraguay, bat rather sympathize with
Paraguay. have proclaimed Gen. Urquiza'

We copy the above from The Washington
Chronicle of the 18th, and respectfully call
the attention of the Retrenchment Committee
to the advertising of which it is class.
Here is q sale of horses-six horses, "con-
"demned as unfit for public service" The
auction is at the Alamo Yard in Texas, and
it takes place tho day Of the publication OF
the advertisement.
This is a swindle, and yet it is specimen
of the advertising" paid for by the Gov
ernment. Look at the columns upon columns
of mail-routes printed at great expense,
of interest to nobody, and only pub
lished to keep alive certain favorite organs.
Let retrenchment begin here, and let us enact
law which will make it impossible Tor Col.
Lee, or any officer of the War Department, to
advertise in Washington the sale OF horses
which takes place the same day thousand
miles away.

Here is the way Charleston paper speaks
Of one of the delegates to the South Carolina
Convention:
"He has good figure short black hair black eyes and
black shaggy oyerhanging eyebrows. He sports thick
black mustache, and when sober would make good
looking bandit His great fault however is drunkenness
and when under the Influence OF liquor he is most dis
gsting beast indulgng In shockngly obscene language
gestures He heartily detested by the respectable
white people of Kngstree In which place he resides and
treated to ride upon rail. dressed IN bran aeU sud Of
tar aud feathers"
How many white men would submit to q
libel like thisf We presume if the writer of
the above were fogged by the person he thus
describes, it would be considered q hideous,
radical miscegenation, negro outrage. We GER
tainly do not advise the flogging, but VIC could
we'll understand the provocation.

most earnest and thorough canvass is
going on in New Hampshire. Both parties are
hard at work, and both claim to be confident
of victory. In any Middle or Western State
the change Of two or three thousand votes
would not excite surprise; but the people of
the Granite State are tolerably firm in their
political convictions and there is little doubt
that the relative proportions of former years
will be very nearly maintained. To doubt a
Republican victory would be to reject the most
manifest signs of the times.

We hear that the New Hampshire contest is
rapidly assuming the character of Presiden-
tial canvass, and that the people are daily
growing more anxious to express their views
upon the grand issue of Reconstruction. The
Republicans almost unanimously accept Grant,
while the Democrats, unable or afraid to swal-
low Pendleton and Reputation, are driven to
President Johnson. The State candidates are
quite overshadowed, SO to say, by the Wash
inpton giants.
