Long-winded discussions are going

statement that Gen. Grant had dis

claring the Congress of the United
States rump Congress, at the close
Of the war, and recognizing Congress
made up Of Representatives from all
the States, as before the war. It can
be of no great historical value if
proved Or disproved. Would it not be
better, therefore, to let this, with all
Mr.. Johnson's mistakes rest in the
grave. No matter what he wanted to
do. We have only to do with what

At conference Of Colored Method
lists in Washington last week Prof.
Soloder informed the brethern that,
being a native Of the Fiji Islands, he
had eaten human flesh many time.
This horrible statement led to a query
as to the taste Of human flesh, and he
was asked how it compared with beef,
as to taste. Human flesh is sweeter
than beef, said the Prof, sit is more
like mule" And his hearers might
truthfully have added that much Of it
was a good deal like mule before it
was dead.

Fred Mussey, of the Commercial
Gazette is writing up the campaign in
Virginia, and his letter from Peters
burg, describing the Fitz Hugh Lee
meeting, should be carefully read by
every Democrat in the North who pre-
tends to think the old war feeling has
died out, or who spouts about the dead
past.' The meeting was as near a
Confederate Cavalry parade as it was
possible to make it, and was called to
order by an old Rebel bugler-in full
Confederate uniform-sounding the
Cavalry call, "Boot-and-Saddle." The
bands played "Dixie" and Bonnie
Blue Flag" and much eloquence was
uncorked in eulogizing Lee and Jack
son. The "Bloody Shirt was waved
with a noise and vim such as the
North has not thought Of.

1t seems that the correspondents
were a little too fast in connecting
