Attorney-Go of Virginia that cross
roads postmaster had right to rifle the
United States mails TO ascertain whether
Abolition literature was being transmitted.
The important matter of making appropri-
ations was entrusted in part TO ATKINS, who
was member of the Confederate Congress,
blushingly proclaimed upon the floor of the
House that he still regarded his first allie
glance due to his State. REAGAN,
Of Texas, the man who forgot
that, as Postmaster-Gen of the
Confederacy, he had signed an order
to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars
to Southern mail contractors, was made
chairman Of the Committee on Commerce.
The pst-Office Committee had on it six
cX-Coniederates out of the eleven members
Of the committee. How could they do
otherwise than recommend the payment of
the fraudulent Southern mail-contract
claims2 There is the same proportion Of

aud others. In fact an examination of the
committee list will show preponderance
OF ex-Confederatcs everywhere, They had
to have the honors. After the 4th of March
next the Democrats will control the forma-
tion of the Senate committees and, in pur.
suance of the undertaking policy of the
party, the South will prepoudemte there
also. These are startling facts which ought
to be carefully pondercd by the freemen Of
the North. Are they prepared to turn the
| full control of the Government Of the United
States over to the hands of the men who
but D few years ago, with arms in their
hands, tried to disincmber the Federal
Union? That will be the sure effect OF
electing Democrats. Not a Democrat from
the North will dare act Mt variance
with his Southern masters. When he at
tempts independence he forieits all claim
upon the Democratic party. The South Is
that party. Northern men are only con-
venient makeweights. II any one doubts II
