GOV. HOADLY ON MR. FORAKER.

twenty-five years have elapsed
since Mr.. Lincoln's election. Five
slxths, perhaps more, of the men who
devised rebellion, the men who fought
its battles and the men who overcame
it, have passed away. The great civil
and the great military leaders--Lincoln
and Grant-bOth sleep in graves bed
ewed by the tears of the whole nation
south and north, for both died with
words upon their lips aud feelings in
their hearts of charity to all, malice
toward none.' Seward and Sumner,
Chase and Fessenden, Douglas and
Stevens, Lee and breckenridge, these
are historic, not living names. Alone
of the authors of the rebellion, Jeffer-
son Davis survives. Boys born when
the war broke out have been voting for
three years past. Boys born after the
war will vote next year. Boys too
Young TO bear arms are now mature
men of 30. There is new south and
new north. A new generation full
of new life is at work. A very large
proportion of the people of the south
have never seen slave, and have lived
under no other regime but that of uni
versal suffrage. Is it not time tor the
Shermans and the Forakers to accept
the results of the war and no longer
continue in battle?
THE SOUTH DEVELOPING DAILY.
"Eight million bales of cotton, the
probable yield of this year, is in sight.
There are no idlers in the south; why
black men are side by side at work.
The south is developing new industries.
weaving cotton cloth, digging coal and
iron, forging steel. God and nature,
religion and the human heart, are the
forces against which Sherman and For
aker contend and Foster plots"
To the policy of alienation the speak.
or said the democratic party opposed
itself; for hate it substituted love.
"Let us then Danish these unmanly
fears Of southern wrOngdoing," he
continued, and cease to aggregate oc-
| casiOnal personal conflicts into wars OF
races. Danville and Copiah are worn
out. Turn out some new grist, oh,
grinders of the outrage mill. Home
rule and as little application of the
eternal principle of regulation as is
consistent with the greatest liberty o.
all will in time cure all the ills of state
and nation.
| INCONSISTENCY OF JOHN SHERMAN.
"Mr. Sherman is distressed because
Lamar and Garland and Bayard, 'twt
members OF the confederate congres:
and one man who sympathized will
them,' are at the head of the great de.
partInents of the government. Oh
yes; it was we'll to put Mr.. Key at thu
head of the postoffice department. ON
confederate in the cabinet was all right
but two are lamentable concession /,
treason. No; not quite this. Evel
Ackerman was proper attorney gen
eral and Key most becoming post
master general, but two at time, tw,
at time, Garland and Lamar togeth
er, aye, there tho rub. The tears O
crocodiles are freely shed as Sherman
softly sings. 'Insatiate archer, wOul,
not one sutiice!' MOsby Madison Wells
Malone and Chalmers, the guerrilla
the returning board, the repudiatol
and the Fort Pillow butcher, all thes
have had their garments washed, bu
Lawton and Jackson, Jonas and La
mar and Garland, the best and pures
of the south, these to our senator al
the unregenerated children of the pol
tical satan, unfit to serve the republic.
