The people acknowledge the gigantic power OF the
NEW YORK HERALD, and, after all legal ana military
administrations most cowarGly failed to perform
their duty, the force OF the HERALD has caused
lonor, conscience. law and order TO be applied.
Dten and again the HERALD showed that nothing
could be more sad and disc0uraglng to all right
minded men than To see a large number OF the dis.
tinguished ana influential men OF our great nation
statesmen politicians, judges lawyers and ministers
OF God and ambassadors Of Chr1st-so cOwar ily

to raise their voice to condemn wholesale murJcr OF
the most irreproachabie people that ever lived on
this EARTH They were the most hideOus murders
that were ever planned and successfully executed
known to the annals OF any civilized nations or bar
baran tribes The perpetrators were United states
Dllicers, and now In the army In the South. And
hough the sufferers were distinguished Tor their
loyalty, fidelity to God and their country, nevertne-
less Notwithstanding all that, they were cruelty put
TO death by starvation, and every olficer not ex-
ceptIng President Grant, refused TO bring the muir
derers to justice. 1t seems that the fact is that
we live IN the days OF declining CIVILIZATION and
nothing hut speedy return to the impartial enforce
