STRANGE WORDS FROM A SrnAsan

Advertiser, the leading Radical organ of

The South must be reconstructed. II

This is sound policy. This opinion il
held by hundreds of unprejudiced peo-

vicious are permitted to control matters.
All accounts agree that the hostility is

wretched Congressional fooling with
great communities as if they were bubes
or idiots. By attempting to subject
whole States to the control of iguorunt
blacks and whites, who are both igno-
