prominent and influential Southern men in the
House of Representatives. The substance Of the
complaint against Mr.. 1iden was that " ne showed
himself poltroon in the Spring of 1871. because
he did not take the oath Of Office President and
proclaim himself President in Ncw-Yorb. For this.
il appears, MI Tldcn cannot be forgiven.
