The eagerness with which all
Americans who can spare the time
and means, rush off to Paris every
year, has become almost nation
al characteristic. Indeed, this is
not To be wondered at, for of all pla-
Ices in the world, Paris offers the
greatest attraction to the lover of
pleasure, and what people love plea

While Stokes and Maynard and
Fletcher & Co., are earnestly en-
deavoring by all sorts of devices,
tricks and stratagems to procure
the reconstruction of Tennessee,
and the resuseitation of the Ku-
klux, we ask those OF their politi-
Ecal faith to listen to the words Of
wisdom, which come from the
Hips of him who, if not the father
of the Republican party, has done
more for it than other man living
or dead. In the Tribune, Mr..
Greedy concludes powerful edi-
itorial in the following language:
There are still heart-burnings
at the Sonth. There are men
who lament the fall of the Con-
Ifederaey and do not love the flag
of the Union. Prescription and
Acknowledgement are the aliment
wherein their morbid feelings SUBJ
lsist. They are Tin effect patents
of nobility in the eyes of a class
respectable in numbers and strong
by social position. To say of a
Southron, '.He cannot vote: He
is forbidden to hold Office" is to
invest him with peculiar and
often envied distinction. His
children take up the quarrel which
q mistaken policy. fastens upon
him; they are trained to hate the
Government which brands him as
unworthy the rights OF a citizen,
and to detest the race with whose
enfranchisement bis prescription
! is in their minds identified. We
can never have genuine peace
while we still hold many thou
sands as virtual prisoners Of war.
Let us close the contest! Let
those who are grandly triumphant
be wisely magnanimous. Let us

tive feeling fingers in our hearts
