afford to be mognanimous at this
time, as ho is soon to enter upon az

doubtless desires to retire with ami

We have always held that tho Repub-

Removal Of Troops from the South.
--latest advices from Washington
forrshadow the carly removal Of all
troops from the South, except those
doing regularly garrison duty at forts.
The purpose of the government is re-
ported to be to concentrate all tho

to the whole country to learn that the
administration has ut last lcgun to
realize that the war is over, ana that
there no longer exists any excuse for
Keeping tho SoulE under bayonct
rule. It will bo gratifying also to
know that stringent measures arc
to be taken for the suppression of In,
dian outrages in the far West, and
that some positive action is to be

Of Mormonism. This latter is n dis
