The reader sharild 90 back and reperuse the
extract Just quoted before he turns TO the
other picture Of
MAYNARD AS A LOYAL BLOODHOUND.
Can it indeed be the same gentle Horace
whom We find in the capitol az " ashlngton
on February u, 1867, devoting the whole soutn-
ern people 70 death aud connseaiion2 Barely
six years have elapsed. The statute OF limit
aJiOns has not run. But, merctful heavens,
what a change Of heart is here! We quote Ihe
ninth cong ress, appendix, page l44. the SUD-
1eet OF debate Is a bill 10 abolish Lne state
governments set up by President Johnson,
and remand the south 70 military rule. Hor-
ace Maynard says.
''eumething YOU are bound to do, bound by
every consideration that can bind pubic
men. Power undOubted and plenary is IN
your hands, l do not say against states as
bodies-poliGe; l VIII mol say against The
south, wha ever that NAV be but power

their property power constitutional, legal
j ust, possibly not uncounected with n dutyi
power as absolute and complete as The power
70 pass an ordinary appropriation Dill Tor me
pay yment OF the salaries Of the President or the
su preme Judges"
Ponder these truculent words. He says con-
gress is "bOund" 10 do something, and lhen
proceeds with his bloOdthiTsty category. Note
the hate which O'erleaps such trlning absurd
lilies as "children attempting the life OF the
nation, b" and "women waging war" Every
life in the south is placed as absolutely al the
mercy of congress as the green backs in the
treasury. such is the exact sinifte Used. Ton
kress may as readily devote eight million
Nufhern lives to the guilOtine as eight million
dollars 10 The Kansas Pacific railroad. Wnen
the reader has dlgested these sentiments,
worthy Of ROhegpierre or Maral, then let nm
revert TO the date, February y, 1861, two years
after he war, the south utterly prOstrate, aD-
Solutely at the mercy Of the congress which |
Maynard was bounding on. II tuis man had
not once Uratended 20 represent southern in
tereSts against the sectiO ual Republican par
ty, his conduct might have seemed less hide
Ous. But Horace Maynard, after such ut
terances, to appeal for the suhrages or Ten
nessee, The lives OF whose very chlIdFen ne
placed a. the disposal OF an omnipOtent con
gress. is a mystery Of impudence beyond our
