Is Reconstruction n Failure !

From The ~ Y. Times.
The enemies of reconstruction are little
too hasty in their judgment They pronounce
it a failure simply because in its early stages
certain dependence is necessary upon the
military arm of the Federal Government. The
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph expresses the preva-
lent malcontent view when it says:-
1.-The reconstructed State Governments, in
seven of the rebel States are now fully or
ganiZed, and the first thing they ali do is to
demand OF the President standing army in
each one of them TO maintain their authority,
and keep the peace which they plead that they
are unable of their own power To do.
"Conctde the tru h OF all their preposterous
talsehoods, In regard TO the revolutionary tenn.
confession that the Federal Government finds
no relief by the boasted process of Congress.
sional Reconstruction. The Government must
still control these States by military force, at
vast expense, while the nation, groaning under
an extraordinary burden of taxation still in
creases her debt at The rate OF more than six
millions "a month
what, then, becomes OF the Chicago feliclta-
tiOns over the triumphant success OF Congress.
sional RecOnstTuction-a party scheme which,
upon the confession OF the radical agents OF
Congress now governing these States, has en-.
tailed upon the people of the Republic the per-
petual burden of maintaining standing army
IN each of these reconstructed States in order
TO preserve the peace?
"If what they claim to be true is true, then
radical reconstruction has consigned the nation
TO inevitable bankruptcy"
Whether the permanent results of recon
struction prove it failure or a success is a
question that can only be usefully discussed
when those results are fully known. AT
present, reconstruction is more or less ex-
perimental, so far as it is contingent on the
working of the local governments and the
operation of the local laws. 1t has certainly
not yet been shown to be a failure in any
State; while in seven of the ten States it is a
! practical success.
That cannot be truly branded as failure
which up to the present point has accom-
plshed its declared purpose. The object of

johnson and Seymour.
From the ~. Y. Herald.


1t is beginning to be rumored from Washing
ton that after some five weeks of active and
earnest negotiations the diplomatic agents OF
the Democratic party have succeeded in recon-
CLING President Johnson TO the nomination OF
HOratio Seymour for the succession. In the
outset, according to the report of one OF our
Washington correspondents of the result OF an
interview between Colonel Van Buren, and Mr.
Johnson, there was hardly the ghost of chance
for the reconciliation of Johnson to the un-
grateful and unexpected action of the Tamma-
ny Hall Convention. He owed the Democratic
party nothing; he was certainly under no OBJ,
legations to support Mr.. Seymour, who had
declared that the best thing that could be done
for the country would be the impeachment and
removal of Johnson. 1t would appear, how.
ever, that acting upon the idea that faint
heart never won fair lady" the perseVering
agents of the Democracy have so successfully
applied their arguments and Establishments
that the wrath of Achilles has been subdued,
and that Mr.. Johnson, after "swinging round
the circle, has resolved after all, to unite his

Sir: 1 take great pleasure in stating that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others.
have been entirely cured by the use OF Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. My friends know that flate years my
case has been an extreme one. had Ieat suffering
from eating any kind OF food, and ON an average
would vomit out one third of my meals, in sour,
ipdigestibe mass. When the severe attacks would
come would Sc all strength and be utterly help
less. Some OF the attacks would be that for
days together would not retain anything on my
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For yea
knew not what it was 10 pass five Onsecutve hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose Of this medicine ceased vomiting, gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength re-
turned, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return OF
the disease. My case was considered by all, even
physicians, marvellous, that time it was fear
ed it might be fictitious: but am so well con-
WINGED, that have been MT merely relieved but
permanently cured, that can conscientiously re-
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims of dys-
pepsia.
