the most vindictive and heartles:

Attorney General and his Assistant
and the Marshal for this division

about, however. That is q matter

removal and better men put in their

The next part of the. complicated
machinery which meets the obsery-

Their names are George Andrews
and Al. I'll. Pettinone. Both of them
are rectfiied Yankees. / do not say
they come within tie definition OF
adventurers and carpet-baggers' but
they come so near. it. that to call
them anything else would be a dis.
tinction without a cause. They are
as cold as an iceburg at the North
Pole, and have happy faculties for
knowing nothing OF the disposition
and wants OF a generous hearted

people among whom they now live
