During the war, they were both
shining lights in the galaxy Of South
ern chivaIry, and their names were
dear to both the soldiery and the
people. When Longstreet fell at the
Wilderness, mortally wounded, as it
vas supposed. "a thrill of agony ran;
through she whole army and when
he returned every heart rejoiced in
the restoration Of the veteran favor
lite. But the war closed, and We soon
found that Longstreet could fawn,
and with mean servility kiss the hand
that smote him. We do not think
that it was his intention to betray his
country, but once led off by design
ing men, and the Siren songs of poll
cy, and induced as he was, to commit
himself to the reconstruction pro-
gYamme, from which his advisers
turned away as others have done, as
soon as they found that the honest
people could not be dupsd. and mis-
Jed, we find him running into all the
excesses of his party--progressing
from bad to worse, until nothing is
too low for the once honored Long
street. He has become reproach to
,his people, who look upon him with
iunutterabie scorn-and even his Re-
publican friends, though cneerfully
accepting his degradation in their be-
half, have no respect nor regard for
him, as is always the case with trail
