The SOUes, in 1863.

at the close of the year 1865 Cen
eral Grant made a tour Of inspection
: in the South, to ascertain the condi-
tion Of affairs, and, as he says, ''to
learn, as far as possible, the feelings
and intentions of the citizens Of those
States toward the General Govern
ment.' On the 18th Of December
he submitte d his report to the Pres
ident, IN which be said:
Il am satisfied that the mass of
thinking men of the South accept the
present situation of,affairs in good
faith. The questions which have
heretofore divided the sentiments of
the people of the two sections--sla-
very and States rights, or the right
ola State to secede from the Union
they regard as having been settled
forever by the highest tribunal-arms
that man can resort to. | was
pleased to learn from the leading
men whom l met that they not only
accepted the decision arrived at as
final, but, now that the smoke Of bat
tie has cleared away, and time has
been given for reflection, that this
decision has been fortunate one for
the whole country, they receiving
like benefits from it with those who
opposed them in the field and in
council. x >: *
There is such universal acquies.
cence in the authority of the General
Government throughout the portions
of the country visited by me that the
mere presence Of military force,
without regard to numbers, is suffi-
cicnt to maiutain order. Is y
The late slave seems to be imbucl
with the idea that the property ofhis
late master should by right belong
to him, or at least should have no
protection from the colored soldier.
There is danger of collisions being
brought on by such causes.
Nv observations lead me to the
conclusion that the citizens Of the
,
turn to government within the
Union as soon as possible; hat while
reconstructing they want and require
protection from the Government;
that they are in earnest 10 do what
they think is required by the Govern
ment not humilla ,ing to them as cit
liens, and that if such course was
pointed out they would pursue it in
good faith. 1t is to be regretted
that there cannot be a greater COM
mingling at this time between the
citizens Of the two sections, and par
ticularly of those intrusted with the
law-making power.
If the condition Of affairs dcscrib-
ed in this report has changed since
then, who is responsible? The con-
troll Of the Southern States was ia
ken out of the hands of President
johnson and given to General Grant
as Commander-in- Chief; afterwards
he became President, and ever since
has bad complete control.
