Political Sulking.
BY KATE FooTE.

In writing the following letter, / have
expressed only my own feelings; but it
seems as if many Republicans must have
the same, although | have seen no ex-
preston of them. The hope Of Civ ing
word to some of these views is my only
excuse for asking to appear in your col
umns.
At the close of the rebellion, twelve
years ago, few men were disfranchised
for a short time 1t was the only pun
ishment the victors offered for rebellion
that cost millions in money, and in lives
what no money can express.
The males OF a population OF four mill
ion Negroes Of legal age were given the
franchise, and then the North was ready
to extend her old friendship to her
Southern sister again and say: Let by
cones be by cones.
Ready2 Yes, very ready. Some peo-
pie tried to explain that the reason why
the assassination Of Lincoln was permit
ted WAS because an all-wise Providence
foresaw that he would not be sufficiently
kind and conciliatory in his attitude TO
the South, and that he was, therefore, re-
moved, to make way for a vice-president
who could do it better.
The South had difficult problems to
deal with. No one disputes that. There
were these four millions of not half civ
ilized and very little enlightened blacks; /;
there were her worn-out plantations,
worn out by the system of slave labor ;
there were her vacant wharves and emp
ty harbors, a discouraged merchant class.
and the depression which follows the ex-
element OF war, deepened by the sense
of defeat.
How would a nation of Yankees have
acted under similar circumstances The
tone in which it accepted the situation
would perhaps have had that nasal twang
to which the enemy Of the Yankee ob.
iects: but it would have expressed that
wholesome common sense which takes
in the whole of a situation, and then
promptly sets about making the best OF

him, he would have said: We've got

longer, we must eddicate EN-. We must
look out that they get their best men for
leaders, or their wust ones will do it.
We will say glad to see you to every i'm
migrant who will take hold OF these
worn out lands and work 'em in better
way, we must build up our trade; and
more'n everything else, we must not ex
ert the weight OF moral force TO crush
any class of men.

Irish Song.

rAir: "The Banks of the Daisies
When first i saw young Molly
Stritched beneath the holly,
Fast asleep, forenint her sheep, wan dreamy
SINNERS day,
Wild daisies laughin' round her,
Hand and foot bound her,
Then kissed her on the bloomin' check, and
softly stole away.
But as. wild blushes burnin'
Tiptoe / was turnin',
From sleep she sta rts and on me darts dread
ful lightnin' ray,
My foolish, 1owery fetters
Scorn fully she scatters,
And like a winter sunbeam she coldly sweeps
away.
But Love, young Love comes stoopin' -
Ger my daisies droopin',
And oh! each flower, wild fairy-power, the
rosy Boy renews:
Then twines each chaTmin' cluster
In links OF starry lustre,
And wild the chain enchantin' my colleen
proud pursues.
And soon met young Molly
Musin' melanch lily,
Wild downcast eyes and startin' signs, alon 9
the meadow bank,
And oh her swellin' bosom,
Was wreathed wild daisy blossom,
Like stars I'm summer heaven, as in my arms
she sank.
