and are looking around for u way to
prevent the country falling into the
hands of those who tried to wreck II

ures proposed is the rcestabllshment
Of the iron clad oath for members OF
Congress. Probably not ten per cent
Of the members elect from the South

none of the three Democrats elected
from this State can do it. We do not |

in the House, following so closely
upon a two or three years partial
representation in the Senate, but We
are admonished that it will not be as
we saw. We are in the hands OF the
RcpuLlican party of the North-the

iron.clad oath necessity 10 1873, as
their predecessors did in 1868, we
