To Join the underlined and crystal waste

To see no ship of ours careering Dy, fl-

And vet, because the two seas are embraced
By one DER arching span OF hopeful sky, 60
We do not quite despair, who are so poor

The radical policy of reconstruction
continues to bear its legitimate fruit.
Lawlessness is the rule at the South,
and the strong arm decides all political
questions. The will of the majority is
no longer regarded. The ambitious
political demagogue who can with the
greatest ability stuff ballot boxes, and
corrupt judges, and who having secured
his election in this way can give effect
to his corruption by inducing the fed
eral government to sustain him with
its bayonets, is the man who rules at
the South. Louisiana is lamentable
