slippery fellows, weak-kaeed trimmers,
who were rebels when the rebellion was
r.p?and Union men when it was down.
Such men will not be trusted where

over it us a healthy sign of tho real
honest republicism of tho South. Wo
ought also to regard it as a henlthy sign
that the Southern people choose to be
represented in peace by tho mcD who
led them in war. No one has given
up the rebel cause so completely as the
Southern soldiers. No class of the South-v-^ci-Q
people is so fair or honest, or so sincony
earnest in their desire to see the
-ountry pacified. These are the men
that the South now put in office. It is
as we say, a healthy sign?but there
is to be a fight about it wiih the radicals
