an orderly and most attentive audience, to hear
from Col Brown Of Kentucky, his experience al

of johnson in Tennessee, which upon the death
OF Lincoln was the only one developed or In pro-
cess of development. He traced the steps taken
by President johnson ut the outset of his adulig-
istralon, to reconstruct the Rebel State govern
ments, making complete precedent for the sub
segu0nt action Of Congress This President the
speaker held, had II perfect right to take the view
he did of the Southern status, and Congress
took the same view when IL assembled. When
the lith Amendment was proposed the Southern
leaders who had before deluded the masses into
the war, again called Oh them not to desert them
but to stand together, in opposition to n law
which disqualified the prominent leaders of the
rebellion. Congress finally saw the necessity of
passing the Military Bill. Its main features were
suggested by General Geo. H. Thomas, with the
approval OF Sherman and Sheridan. Five thous-
and Union men had been murdered, and the bill
was clearly necessary. government must be
respected 1t must protect all its citizens. Pcaca-
BILE men at the South should have protection ii it
required q court martial in every house, camp
on every farm, u battery on every hilltop.

aided Union men in Kentucky, and thereby won

Pendleton, and so they preferred u weak man,
like Seymour Col. Brown rc-statcd the facts al

Chase movement; that Mr.. Seymour was party

honor to aid II; that It was arranged among the
leaders of the Ohio delegation, Messrs. Mclean,
Pugh, Thurman. McCook, Morgan Jcwett, and
Butler, and the New Workers, Tilden, Ben Wood,
Sweeney, and Barlow; that Mr. Seymour was
entirely sincere in his purpose to aid Judge
Chase, and never intended nor desired the nom
