mcrcial life" During tho eight years
OF Gran'ism mono did more to villify
and irritnte the people Of that UNHAPPY
section. nor labored more necessarily
10 keep gaping the ugly wounds of the
war. than the Republican,. Grant did
not try pacificasioD. With his lips lie
said "!et us have peace" but with his
right han,i lie extended the sword. Yet
this same Repubicdn applauded his adj
ministration, and strove hard to perpct-
uate his rule throuyha third term. For
sixteen years the Repubi;can and it's al
lies plnndered the South, until finding
nothing else to filch. they purloined her
votes to make Hayes President. Then
why these crocodile tears now over her
msfortnnes. By the very men who waie
mainly instrumental in fastening them
upon her? The South does want re.t,
and peace. and quiet, hut she is not
quite ready to consort with such as the
Republican to obtain them. If Mr..
Hayes would enjoy the respect and
sympathy Of the South. he should snub
that journal as soon as possible.
