In authentic form and iusuring them

He favors the completion of the cen.
trail water line by the common gov
eminent and urges the withholding oi
no possible aid or encouragement ~
this great work.
The following extracts give an idea
of the governors views in regard to
the political situation:
Recent events create the hope that
the government of the union is to be
brought back to the constitution, its
ancient landmarks and traditions to he
recovered and respected, and traJernal
relations revived throughout the coun-
try. They cheer the oppressed aud
Respondent southern people with the
promise that the burthens which have
so long borne them down are to be-
lifted oil.
The most suspicious day for the
honor and well being of the whole
country will be that in which the great
export producing states are restored To
peace and productive energy by being
restored to their constitutional rights
and relations. We may rest assureu
of success as soon It's the repeal OF all
the enforcement laws shall peacefully
relieve US from the harasslnent and
apprehension of military aud Other
coercion from without, and from the
intermeddling Of mere political adven'
turers within. Henceiorth let il bl
understood that the political equality
of the races is settled, and social equal
ity of the races is settled impossi-
bility.
