THE REHEIs-reoonstructed and unreconstrActeo
arc Glling the earth with clamor at The oppres-
siops which they claim 10 have endured since the
rebellion went down, at Che hands Of the Union
men Of Tennessee 10 accordance with their ina
ture and practice they are believing their supposed
grievances through the land, anG screaming with
passion like whipped children. They seldom I'M
dertake 10 point out the exact particular in which
they arc oppressed deeming that logical course be-
meath their exalted dignity and believing that they
can make more noicc and hullabaloo without con-
descending 10 Particular But when The sum total
OF heir grievances Is ascertAped II turns out 10 be
simply this-they are for the present deprived Of
tho privilege Of the ballot-only this and nothing
more
They are here in our mids., and no one insults or
molests them. They are pursuing their business
those Of them that have sny-walking our streets,
suing in our courts running their churches, and
talking lOud-aouthed treason, unrebuked and un-
noticed.
They forget conveniently that they announced,
while their pet rebellion was in progress, that no
Union should vote here or live here after they
should be successful and they proclaimed 70 the
world that they would not live under the same gov
ornmont with Union men, If .he rebellion failed
They vaporod in this style tll The war closed and
then subsidized, as such men generally d.
But the chief and real grievance astsr all, Is not
not much that they cannot vote, as that the ne
gro can. Dives didn't care 90 much shout being in
hell, but it'nado him powerful mad to zee Lazarus
in Abraham's bosom. And these purc patriots yex
their righteous souls oyermuch that the government
Of the country should DO committed in part 10
hands so incompetent 10 direct Il as those Of the
negro. Well time win show how The coorcd man
uses his high trust. He has done pretty woll thus
far, and shown an earnest zoal 10 qualify himself
by education for bis responsibilities in spite of ev
cry obstacle that his rebel friends have soagbt 10
throw in the way. But one thing is certain-.hs
rebel arstocrscy has run the machine Of govern
ment Cor hundred years on their own plan and we
know what muss they made Of IL. II is time nov
that they should LET some others try their hand and
we are reasonably safe in assuming that the negro
in assisting TO administer the government, cant
well make bigger fool Of himself administer the
government on more insane principles or make a
hotter hell Of the lnsl situation than his old mas.
tors have succeeded 10 doing
They say that they arc reconstructed that thew
accept the situation and are loyal 70 the old FAC
and admit that slavery is a, an end forever But
unfortunately, they have been diligently a, work
for the ast three years trying TO reorganize rebel
lion, and 10 ro-estab lsh slavery in fact If not in
namo. They have alternately shouted aloud for
loyalty Tor the benefit OF loyal men, and velloa
their lamentations over the lost cause and leir i'm
precautions against the government, and tie r,sn
who put down rebellion. Their loud profession, 81
loyalty won't 60 down with the people, while We
hear them muttor curses with bated breath and 900
them watching eagerly FOR the chance 70 made ,hs
work that the nation, in the midst Of blo,a ma
tears, has done Tor freedom
These men arc suffering from no oppression or
real grievance, and they may as well learn. whs,
tney don seem yet 10 understand that the sbortos
road TO ehloymonto Of their old privileges is through
reasonable course Of good behavior. Tn. 'orsI
