Hall, Radical Representative from
Maine, offered the following resolution
in the House as a rebuke to Senator
Sumner:
Whereas, National unity cannot fail to be
Streng thened by the remembrance of the
services of those who fought in the battles
of the Union in the late war of the rebel
lion; therefore be it
Resolved, That as an exposition of the
sentiment OF Congress, that no measures be
taken toward removing from the army reg
ister or the regimeutal colors of the United
States, the names of the battles of the re-
helliOn.
Adopted. Yeas, lis; nays 50.
No Republican voted against the reso-
luton, and only four Democrats for it,
namely: Messrs. Getz, Hubbard, Par
ker New Hampshire,) and Manson.
Sumner Is thus sternly rebuked, and
his magnanimons proposition for an obi
won of the bitter remembrances Of the
war has been repudiated by the Radical
party. He is no longer a prophet among
them, and may yet descend to his grave
dispised and broken-hearted rs Greeley

The Miserable Condition OF SOurh
EaPoFfRa


Nobody was surprised By the announce
inert that the Radical Senator olect from
South Carolina had been arrested and
lodged in Jail for an infamous crime; and
nobody has been surprised by the coun-
ter 'eport that the member of the Logis-
latlre who made the charge has been
himself arrested, and one has fed the
State. The commonwealth has been
brought to condition of political chaos
an6 social degradation by having fallen
permanently into the hands of adven-
tuers. The late election for Z. 5. SEN
atr was reduced to a contest between a
caroet-bag negro and carpet-bag white
MAI and the former openly charged be-
for. the election that his cunning and pc
curious competitor would probably carry II
by bribery.
The morals of the governing party in
that State have been brought so low that
bribery is not considered crime. In an
account of the wretched condition of af-
fails before the election it was stated that
the ''chief interest of the contest for
Senator lies in the fact that the result
vii show whether the preference of the
colored Legislators for man of their own
race is strong enough to overcome their
desire to realize profit from the disposal
of their votes"
The money influence predominated.-
The gainings of the mean white wrecker
secured him the Senatorial prize; and
hence the Grim nation and recrimination
which have followed.
1t is well to remind Mississippians that
the fate of their State is beginning to be
associated in the public mind abroad
with that of South Carolina 1t is fear
ed that she too is destined TO pass hope
lessly under the yoke of ignorance, pre-
judice, tyranny, and corruption, which
has fallen SO heavily upon that once re-
nowned community. Another four years
of Carpet-Bag rule, will add strength to
tbs belief, and invest the apprehension
with a fearful reality. Let them re-
member that South Carolina is nov shun-
ned by the good and virtuous Capital
avoids her as a den of thieves. Chaos
,eigns supreme. She that ''was great
"among the nations and a princess among
"the provinces, sits solitary" The fol-
bwing extracts from the inaugural adj
dress of Gov Moses, of that State, tells
tie sale:
You have entered upon the sixth session
o the General Assembly since the estab-
lihment of free government in the State of
South Carolina.
Yet the face of the emigrant is turned
away from our State. and capital, which sets

The press is quoting Mr. Greeley's
dying words. But to us there is greater
interest and greater significance in what he
deliberately wrote after the election for
the public, when in the full possession of
his mental faculties. Since his death,
the Tribune has reproduced the following
extract from his last editorial in that
paper, entitled Abiding the Issue.
His advice to the Southern victims of
Radical rapacity and prescription, de-
serves special consideration and while
the people for whom it is intended are
endeavoring to follow it, we trust it will
be their good fortune to realize a return
ing sense Of magnanimity on the part Of
the Administration and to know that
"the thieves" who have robbed them are
overtaken by the 'retribution" which
Mr.. Greeley predicted
The South, we are told, has decided for
Grant by small majority wherefore, those
of the South who were not for Grant should
conform to the judgment and set to work to
merciaI prosperity. We heartily second
the motion. Let the South, like the North,
accept tie situation. The
South must live; and she cannot live on
sterile agitation. She has appealed for a
kindlier usage, and it has been fatty denied
her. Now, we are well assured that the
chief victors in our late struggle are in
clined to correct abuses and satisfy just
complaints to the extent of their power.
We urge the just overborne Whites of the
South to meet every kindly overture with
cordiality AMI trust
The late canvass has enlightened the
North with regard to Southern local rule,
its causes and its perils. No one longer
pretends thar things are as they should be at
the South, even in States like South CARROLL
ma, where Republican rule meets no serious
opposition. 1t is quite generally under
stood that Universal Suffrage is not all that
is required; there must be a hearty accord
between the educated and the better class of
manual laborers. Where these vote with
the ronghs and plunderers. from apprehen-
sion of wrong from the gentlemen and
land-holders. the present is hopeless. We
have said that the renewed Administration
must impelled by its very strength, if by no
higher consideration, to pour oil upon the
wounds of the South. 1t has no longer any
need of Moses or Claytol or Spencer; it has
only to hint what these must do and it will
be done. We shall be sorely disappointed
if Gen. Grant does not soon, in his own way,
let it be known at the South that thieves may
no longer hope for immunity from just re-
tribution by shouting themselves hoarse in
his praise and stigmatizing those opposed to
them as Rebels
