The Cincinnati Commercial saysI
''Bismarck shows his hand in protesting
against the disqualification of officials
under the Empire for membership in the
Constituent Assembly about to be elected.
Gsmbetta resents the German interference
in favor of the Imperialists, and insists
on outlawing those who were the
creatures of the Empire. The case
is plain. Gambetta would use the
power in his hands to fix the founda-
tions of the Republic, and Bismarck
is against his policy. AS matter of
course the Emperor of Germany would
be unwilling to see a French republic.
He would turn his back upon France
with misgiving if the most conspicuous,
memorable and significant result of his
brilliant campaigns next to the unifics-
ton of Germany, were the establishment
of the French republic. 1t has been
many times asserted by Bismarck that he
would not interfere with the affairs of
France, but he has already done so and
displayed his purpose. Perhaps the Ger
mans will have the experience that the
people of the Northern States have en-
joyed, of how much more difficult it is to
reconstruct a country than to conquer it.

GRANT AND THE SOUTH.

Iu the fall of 1865 President johnson
sent Gen. Grant through the South for the
purpose ''Of learning, as far as possible,
the feelings and intentions of the citizens
of those States towards the general gov
ernment.n The war had Just terminated,
and it was to be expected that a conquered
people would not entertain the kIndest
sentiments regarding the power which
had so recently trodden them into the
dust of humiliation and defeat; but Gen.
Grant in his official report submitted to
Congress said:
81 am satisfied that the mass of the
thinking men of the South accept the
present situation of affairs in good faith.
The questions which have heretofore di-
vided the sentiments of the people of the
two sections slavery and State rights, or
the right of State 70 secede from the
Union-they regard as having been set,
tied forever by the highest tribunal-arms
that men can resort to.
NV observations lead me TO the cOnclu-
sion that the citizens of the Southern
States are anxious to return to self-gov-
eminent within the Union as soon as pos
sible; that they are in earnest in wishing
to do what they think is required by the
GOvernment-not humiliating to them as
citizens and that if such course was
pointed out, they would pursue it in good
faith.
When Grant spoke thus of the people
of the South he never dreamed that he
would be thought of as the Radical can
didste for President. Now he is can
didste for denomination, and he declares
that they are madly committing outrages
of all kinds upon 'loyal people" Is
that compliment to his administration
The Providence Herald says: ''It is no
marvel that the recent movement of Gen.
Grant and Senator Morton, looking to a
reopening of the whole reconstruction
question in the South, has created de-
cided sensation in that section. The
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-02-08


Southern people wafit peace. They have
made heavy sacrifices to reach that desir-
able point. All the acts of Congress re-
lating to the civil government of the
Southern States have been accepted and
acted upon in good faith. State govern
ments have been created; Courts of JUS
tee established; taxes levied and paid,
and the ballot box opened 10 all
entitled to the elective franchise. In the
meantime, strong efforts have been made
to improve the material condition of that
portion of the Union. Capital has been
invited to build up the broken fortunes
of the people, the cotton crop stimulated
by all possible means, mills and manufac-
tories established, lsborers induced to
locate in all the States South of Mason
and Dixon's line, and thus unmistakable
evidence given of the real intentions of
the Southern people. They thought re-
construction was fixed fact They be-
lieved the reign of passion and bigotry
was over, and all the States stood again
equal under the Constitution and laws of
the land. From this dream they have
been awakened by the movements of Gen.
Grant and Senator Morton. The old
wounds are to be ripped open. A parti
san committee is to examine partisan wit
nesses, and upon their testimony base
another batch of reconstruction laws.
The Sovth want peace under the laws.
The Radicals are willing to plunge that
whole section into contention in order to
carry the Presidential election in 1872.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-02-08

Two items come to us in our exchanges
which are terrible sarcasms on our boosted
civilization, that ''higher civilization" we
heard so much about during the war.
Some six years ago a man by the name
of Joseph Wheaton, of Alpena county,
Michigan, lost his wife, who left him a
young child, little boy somewhere about
one year old, which he gave away, legally,
to Mr.. Baird. This family kept him,
unmolested, until last fall, when Wheaton
stole the child from Mr.. Baird, who re-
covered him in turn, when Wheaton
prosecuted Baird for kidnapping" his
child, but the child was given up by the
magistrate to Mr.. Baird and wife, who
are very wealthy people, aud who had
become very strongly attached to the
child, they having no children. Subse-
quently Wheaton stole the child again,
and because the child would not stay with
him, being strongly attached TO Mr.. and
Mrs. Baird, he whipped it 10 death. The
other incident is located in Indiana, where
a gentleman became so enragsd with a
SOW, for eating his chickens, that he
seized the poor beast and deliberately cut
out its eyes with his jack-kife.
