THEY DISLIKE THE NAME OF
REBELS"

Last week the Senators, wasted
much time in again fighting over the
war of 1861 and 1865, and 1t is really
astonishing to observe, that those
who were the head and the front of
the Shareholders rebellion OF that
period, are now heartily ashamed OF
their efforts to bust up the union.
For most every Southern Senator
who took part in the discussion are
in favor of dropping the word "rebel-
lion" and subtituting in its place. the
late unpleasentness or the missunder-
standing of the people residing in the
various states at that period. or some
other mild term, which will not con-
stantly remind the Southern people.
that they were plain and simple rebels
as many of them are to this day.
There is no disposition on our part
to open old wounds nor to rekindle
the bitter feeling which existed be-
tween the north and the south
throughout the rebellion, but we hope
the day will never come when those
who wore the grey and fought against
the preservation of the union, will be
honored and exalted above those who
wore the blue and fought to preserve
the Union.
