NOT SATIsFIED.-The Republican does
not seem to be satisfied with the effects oi
the war. 1t can see no good In all the EFFORTS
that the Democrats have made to enfore the
opinion that the South would be true to the
Union If let alone to attend to her own at.
fairs. The Republican was always O. vio.
lent advocate for making war on the south
regardless of consequences and cost. But
it would seem that the war has had very
little benefit, SO far as eradicating the evil
it grows angry over. In yesterdays issue
it says:
spirit of rebellion actually crops out among
the fire-eaters of the South. Thus we are
told that at Atlanta, Georgia, last Satur-
day, not one of the three or four military
companies that participated in the dem on
stratiOn carried the stars and stripes, and
that the company nearest TO the platform
with brazen effrontery bore painted blue
banner on which the central device was a
Rebel flag surrounded by clouds and stars.
The other companies displayed the "bonnie
blue flag" as they call it, without single
national device. The men OF one company
wore red and white cockades, the colors of
the defunct "Confederacy." The Georgia
soldiers, it would seem, not only disdained
70 carry the flag of their country, but ac-
tually Haunted before the face of the Presi-
dent the sym Dol of the rebellionl And vet
the speeches of representative men like
Wade Hampton snc Ben Hill abounded in
professions of love for the old flag ard the
constitution of the United States.-Repu6-
dcdn.
How much better would it have been to
have appealed to the South in 1861 before
resorting to war. II we had then sent a
commission to the Southern people, as
they asked us TO do, and as we sent to the
rebellious savage, Sitting Bull, peace night
have been preserved and slavery finally
abolished without resort TO war. All the
"bIood letting urged by old Zach. Chandler
has been wasted, If the Republican is to be
credited. Weare sure the war was blunder
asin,a a stain upon the ci vilization OF the
nineteenth century. But We don't want to
write about 1t or talk about it. We only
desire TO show the opinion OF the war howl.

Fortunately all the Republican paper.
do not seem to be OF the opinion which
the Republican expresses in the above para
graph. The Philadelphia Press, of the same
date, gives vent to its opinion in a brie,
pun OF MI Hayes. 1t is hardly possible
mat both papers can be right. The Press
says:

How is 1t possible for these two opinions.

the whole truth nor do we venture the as

resemble the truth; while the latter's aren-
