The arraignment of southern mems

very severe, but at the same time it
must be confessed, it is very just. Wnen-

rape OF the treasury has been accom-

the south. Here we have an enterprise
which is to be of the utmost Importance
10 every man, woman and child OF our
entire section; which is to add to the
value OF every foot of ground, every doh
lar OF invested capital and every dollar
of taxable value throughout the entire
south, and not only that. but will prove
Of almost equal value to the north. and
yet we have divisions and dissensions
among US sufficient to carry us head
long into blind opposition to the very
enterprise of all others likely to com
plete not only the entire reeonstruc-
ton Of the south politically, but which
is TO, in great measure, restore our old
time prosperity Upon what grounds
