Il FIRE IN THE REAR.
The New York Sun Shines upon the
RascaIities of Reconstruction-Gov-
ernor Scott's Little Game Exposed
Bullock held up to scorn by the Radi-
cal Papers.

One of the hopeful signs Of the times is the
holiness with which the better class OF Radical
papers at the North are beginning to unmask the
hypocrisy and corruption OF the creatures WHO
lead what il called the Republican party at the
South. That Independent! and eccentric but uil-
doubtedly Radical journal, the New York sun,
gives a prominent place in its columns TO the fol-
lowing letter, dated Washington. December u
WHAT Is GOING on IN wAsHINGTON-REPrBLICAA
AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE CORRUPT.
The conduct of the rcconsrucilonlsts toward
Virginia is wrong Every condition imposed by
Congress has been complied with in spirit ana IN
letter. and now miserable pretcNts are sought IN
order to delay her admission. inc only oppOsl-
ton from the State Is raised ny heeuy anu IN
nrincinled adventures, who have been repudia-
led by the peoplc at home. They seek nonors
from Congress which have Just been denied by
their own so-called constituents, anu invoke hau-
icaism as their only claims 10 consideration.
Butler has found means TO put OIL admission,
after having promised 10 promote II. lie anu
others like him are 10th to give up their hold on
the South, and strive 10 multiply embarraSSments
so as to excite hostility ana provoke Oau oloOu.
How N0T To DO IT.

restored to the Union. Hence tic tricks anu
dodges which are practced 10 prevent that con-
summation. These agtators do not want peace,
for they live by faction. That is their trade, ana
il has proved profitable for years past.

In the South exceed ordinary endurance. Take
South Carolina as an example The notes OF the
old State Bank were bought up by gang oil
speculatOrs at j. or Is cents OIL The dollar. That
done. they went to the Legislature and put bill
through funding these Eotcs in State bonds. by
which their worthless iars were converted INTO
values worth five or six times what they paid.
