How the South Face. the Faots.
It is the universal testimony or all
inen who have talked with the natural
leaders of 9ke South that riteir language
is frank and their conclusions those-of
reason. "We held tin opinion as to the
relation of the States to each other unde
the Constitution we fomgh, for .that
o.inir ; we would like to have estab'
lished it ; we werg, h-atel in hit t.h-, as
we were, heaten before battle-hy nttm
liers; we nccepf thu situafion frunkl',v
and are prepnred to be just. as loyal and
devoted L.o the Unite d States as we were
to the Sonthern ',ofeerney- It is a
natter of no itmtpotrttvng whether we had
reason on onr side or not ; iU is ntlicibut
that we had not strength."'
' It seems wonderful that there i no
fueling of hate agaiist its, bbcause these
men in ti.eir hearts believe themselves
to ho the injutreJt party ; bit upon ex
itiniaation the winder disappears. The

species of redresa there is very rarely

of the' wounded man. The combat is a
tribunal, and its decision is accepted as
final.
We Qwn ourselves to be surprised at
the perfect and ,universal acq uie nettco
of the Southern'teople. It is far beyond
what we dared, to hope It is a strong
proof of'the supremely practical nature
of the American mit'd. No repining,

WHY COMMIssioNMn OULD WAS
REL.EAS:D.- There has been much
speculation as to the reasons which
induced the antlorities to release Com.
missioner Ould from Castle Thunder.
The following extracts from a letter to
Mr. Ould, from Lient. Col. Albert
Ordway, -of the 24th Mass. Regiment,
ProvosI Marshal General at Richmond,
describes these reasons:
"Sir: I have the honor to inform you
that the Military Commission appointed
to investigate the cause of your arrest,
and deterntine whether any charge
could be brought against. you,. have fin
ished their labors, and recommend your
immediate release.
Upon this recommendatiou of the
Military Commission, Major General
Halleck, con ianding Military Division
of the James, orders vour release from
arrost. I liave the honor to comm'nu
niciate this decision to yo.;, to inform
vou that from this date your arrest
eeases, and that your parole to report
ver- other day at this offi,-e is now
void.
I may afford some satisfaction to you
to know itnt the report of the Military
Conmmiasioa not only relieves ) on front
the charges bromtlt against. yo, hut
states that the evidence is that von did
every thing in your power to restore to
Union prisoners the money belonging to
them and to allevmte their suffei'ngs.'
[Boston Journal.
The argument for-delay in reorganizing
the Southern States may be-very sound,
but it. comes too late. Provisional
Governors are a ppointed and the process
of reorganization is going ony. It would
bo mo.st unreasonable to' expect the
President to arrest the procesa and recall
the proclamations ie, has just made, and
that., too. on the mere hypothesis that
the Southern people are ready to resume
their rights and duties as citizens in the
spirit of loyalt-y'
There are two courses now open for
the people 'of the North. One is to
anq uiesce in the Prlsidet's policy, and
eudenvor by all honor'able awl proper
means to make it'sniecessful. The other
is to embarrass and hinder it by stirring
up il-feeling and disaficctiom in the South.
There can be no liberty of choie in this
matter, among patriotic men. And
thero can be no demand for the reduction
of the Southern States to a territorial
condition till they har6 proved them.
selyes incapable of loyal self-governtent.
If we can perauade them to extend the
sulfage to all intelligent citizens, withonut
regard to race or color, very well ; if
not, we must wait for the slow progress
of social amplioration at the South, as
we have wamted and still wait for it in
the Notth.-Siringfield Republican.

Air. Editor : The time being very nearly
at hand when the peopleof Fairfield District
will be called upon to select suitable persons
to represent them in the Conventiou which
is to. re.cstablish civil order in the State,
it, becomes us to take initial action in tho
premises. This Convention is one of the
most important that has ever been called,
and considering the vast and complicated in
terests which will be entrusted to It and the
delicate nature ofthe trusts, it is quite evi
dent that men of experience and personal
worth should be selected.
Permit me to nominate three gentlemen
who contain In a high degree all of the
qualities necessary-who have been tried in
public capacities and have never been found
wanting. who have legai and legislative
experience and are known to the people of
the District for integrity, personal worth,
moderation and public spirit. I ret'er to
