TIE SouTu.-Don Piatt writes to the Gin
cinati Commercial
The wonderful energy exhibited by the
Southern people struggling up from the utter
ruin that followed the late civil war is one of
tho marves of the day. Whilc contendng
against the laundering unjust acts of recon
struction, originating in hate, and continued
through greed, that deprived them of voice
and vote now involving the business interests
of the entire country, the people have strug,

the American colonies, gives abundant food
for reflection, and is illustrative Of long step
in the worlds progress toward that time when
the sword shall cease to be the worlds arbiter."
