A REUNITED COUNTRY.
We look back over the past to Won
der and rejoice at the settlement of the
reconstruction problem-the greatest
ever Forced upon government coming
OUT of civil war. We look at the
events of to-day and see that recon-
struction so complete, that Union and
confederate. Federal and rebel are
enulous only as to which shall more
giorlously serve the flag of the Union.
We look forward TO the future with
confidence and hope, for the nation
which reconstructed itself out of the
ruins of civil strife will successfully
solve the problems OF the expansion of
its territory and the extension of its
power

occasion, occupied the first carriage in
line, Il handsome victoria, accompanied
by Governor Scofeld and Acting Presi-
