IT LAST.
How persistent has been the erv of
the "Republican'* politicians, that the
Southern people are still rebellious, that
they treat the "freedmen" with cru
elty, that they are unfit to govern
themselves, and that, therefore, they
should not be permitted to exercise the
rights and privileges of citizens of the
United States, every reader of "Repub
lican" newspapers, and every li>tener
to "Republican" stump speeches, is
abundantly able to testify. Misrepre
sentation of the conduct of the people
of the late rebellious States, was the
only stock in trade left upon the empty
shelves of the Republican office-jobbers,
and they seemed determined to make
the most of it. "Bleeding Kansas"
had emptied its veins long ago; John
Brown's soul stopped in its onward
march, having evidently got on its
"last legs;" Booth and the "conspira
tors" were done with; Werze was
hung; Jeff Davis ceased to la* a sensa
tion; and the whole "Republican" plat
form broke down, so that the office
hunters of the "party of the Union"
had nothing left to stand upon except
the plank of misrepresentation. Mean
while "Copperheadism" ("so-culled,"
a- Bill Arp hath it) was rampant from
Maine to Louisiana and from New Jer
sey to California. Yielding not a jot
or tittle of its principles, consistent in
spite of bastiies, exile and death, emerg
ing intact from the storm of civil war,
its banner defiantly thing to the breeze,
Democracy stood ready to give battle to
its disorganized and demoralized ene
my. But, on tne common ground of
misrepresentation, the foe temporarily
rallied, and at one time it seemed as
though it would be as favorable a posi
tion for hi mas Kansas, or John Brown's
grave, or Mrs. Surratt's gallows. Soon,
however, it was plain that the ground
was untenable. Siege was laid to it by
the Democratic forces, and the batteries
of truth made horrid breaches in the
hastily constructed works of the Abo
litionists. The siege progressed finely
and the position of the enemy was reg
ularly invested, when the Commander
in-chief, President Johnson himself,
accompanied by (ion. Grant, arrived
upon the field and assisted in manning
the guns of the Democratic canoniers.
They tnrew hot snot unuureeK n.cmo
the Abolition fort, causing Sumner to
bellow like all the hulls of Bashan and
Stevens to howl like a wolf cheated of
his prey. To drop the figure, the false-1
hoods in regard to the feelings and dis
position of the Southern people, resort
ed to by politicians of the baser sort,
for the purpose of excluding the South -
era members of Congress from the seat
to which they are duly and lawfully
chosen, have been openly and fully con
tradicted and exposed by President
Johnson and Gen. Grant. The former
in a special message to the Senate and the
latter in a report to the President (both
of which will be found in another col
umn) clearly prove that all charges of j
continued disloyalty against the South
ern people, or of cruelty, on their part,
toward the negroes, are base and mali
cious inventions. At last have the
knaves who have lived by this sort of
trickery been put to shame. At last
does truth seem to be vindicated. May
the good work go bravely on!
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Congress is about to force Negro Suf
frage upon the people of the District of
Columbia. In view of this purpose on
the part of the Abolition leaders, the
Mayor and authorities of Washington
city, authorized an election to be held
to ascertain the sentiments of the peo
ple upon the subject. The election was
held anil the result was, seventy-Jive per
sons voted for Negro Suffrage and seven
thousand against it. But the will of
the people will not be regarded by the
revolutionary cabal which legislates for
us at the federal capital. They com
menced the Abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, and by a parity
of procedure, they will there begin the
enfranchisement of the negro. Fear of
political defeat alone may deter them.
Let those "Republicans" who claim to
be opposed to Negro Suffrage, keep a
sharp eye upon their Congressmen.

We ask everybody to read the spe- j
■ cial message of the President to the
Senate, and the rejwirt of Gen. Grant, >
i published in this paper. Both refer to j
the political condition of the Southern j
States, or, in other words, to the dispo
sition of the Southern people toward i
' the federal government and their fellow '
- citizens of the North. The President'
says that (he rebellion in suppressed. We j
had a quiet suspicion for ,-ome time,
i that this was the case, but were induced j
1 to doubt it by the fact that there were
so many "military commissions" or
ganized, which, of course, Mr. Johnson
would not have permitted in time of
peace, (ten. Grant says please observe,
oh ye niggerheads! that none but irhite
1 troops should be stationed where the
! "freedmen" abound,because "the pre--
i
enee of black troops, lately slaves, do-;
)
, ! moralizes labor both by their advice j
and furnishing in their camp.- a resort!
for the freedmen for long distance- a- j
round." He also -ays that the agents ,
j of the Freedmen'- Bureau have been j
making mischief, by promising the |
blacks that the lands of their late ma
ters -hould be given them. Both the
President and < Jen. < (rant speak in high
terms of the -übmi-sivene-s and peace-;
ful disposition of the Southern people, i
We are heartily glad that the crushed i
and trampled South has -till a few!

the President, when the latter, a few
days ago, sent his special me—age in
1 reference to the condition of tin- South
ern States, to the Senate. Mechanic-!
' terized the message a- a "whitewashing
' document," like the message of Frank
' lin Pierce in regard to affairs 111 Kansas
in 1835. He also assailed Gen. Grant
and expressed a doubt of the truthful
ness of hi- report. But when Cow AX
replied to him, saving, that his views
concerning "reconstruction" w ere based
' i upon anonymous newspaper reports
and the tales of parties interested in j
keeping the South out of the Union, j
Sumner quietly slunk out of the Senate !
chamber without attempting any re-
sponse. We would like to know with j
which side, in this contest, the "Repub
licans" of thN county sympathise?—
They used to question us very closely
as to our "sympathies." We now pro
pose to return the compliment. Arc
you for Andy Johnson and U. S. Grant,
or for Charles Sumner and Thaddeus
Stevens? If you read the Congressional
debates you must know that the two for

! GENERAL GRANT'S REPORT OF HIS SOUTH
ERN TOUR
WASHINGTON, Dee. Hi.
of Hie President to Hie Senate.
I To the Senate of the- United Slides:
In reply to the resolution adopted by
| the Senate on the 12th, I have the hon
or to state that the rebellion waged by
i a portion of the people against the
I properly constituted authorities of the
i Government of the United State- has
' been suppressed; that the I nited States
| are in jiossession of every State in which
! the insurrection existed, and that as
far as could lie done, the courts of the
United States have been restored, post
offices re-established, and the steps tak
en to put into effective operation the
revenue laws of the country.
As the result of the measures institu
ted by the Executive with the view of
inducing a resumption of the functions
of the State, comprehended in the in
quiry of the Senate, the people in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiania, Arkan
sas and Tennessee, have recognized
their respective State governments, are
! yielding obedience to the laws and Gov
ernment of the United States with
j more willingness and greater prompti
i tude than under the circumstances could
| reasonably have been anticipated. The
j proposed'amendment to the Constitu
-1 tion providing for the abolition of slav-
I ery forever within the limits of the
j country has been ratified by each one
! (if those States, with the exception of
: from which no official in
formation has been received: and in
nearly all of them measures have been
, adopted, or are now j lending, to confer
upon freedmen the privileges which are
i essential to their comfort, protection
| and security.
In Florida and Texas tile people are
| making commendable progress in re
j storing their State governments, and
! no doubt is entertained that they will
j at an early period be in condition tore
i sumeall or their practical relations with
the Federal < Jovernnient. In that por
tion of the Union lately in rebellion
\ the aspect of affairs i.- myn promising
than, in view of the circumstances,
could well have been expected. The
people throughout the entire South e
j vince a laudable disire to renew their
I allegiance to the government, and to
repair the devastations of war by a
prompt and cheerful return to peaceful
pursuits. An abiding faith is entertain
ed that their actions will conform to
their professions, and that in acknowl
edging the supremacy of the Constitu
tion and the law-of the United States
their loyalty will lie unreservedly given
to the government whose leniency they
cannot fail to appreciate, and whose
fostering care will soon restore them to
i a condition of prosperity. It is true
that in some of the States the domora
i lizing effects ol' the war are to be seen
: in occasional disorders, but these are
j local in character, not frequent in oc-
I eurrenceand are rapidly disappearing
as the authority of civil government is
extended and sustained.
Perplexing question.-- were naturally
to be expected from the great and sud
den change in the relations between
ihe two races, but systems are gradual
ly developing themselves under which
the froedman will receive the protec
tion to which he is justly entitled, and
ly means of his labor make himself
a useful and independent member of
the community in which he has his
home.

session, and from that which 1 have re

belief that sectional animosity is sure
ly and rapidly merging itsell into a
spirit of nationality, and that represen
tation, connected with a properly ad
justed system of taxation, will result
in a harmonious restoration of the re
lations of the States to the national V
nion.

HEAOQ'KS ARMIES OF THE 17. S,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 18, ls(sT>. >
Ilix Kxcr/trnrj/ Andrev Joft/ixon, Presi
dent of th<' United State:
SIR—In reply to your note of the lbth
I inst.. requesting a report from me,giv
! ing such information a- 1 may be pos
sessed of coming within the scope of
the inquiries made by the Senate of the
Fnited States in their resolution of the
12th inst., I have the honor to submit
the following, with your approval,
and also that of the Hon. Secretary of
j War:
1 left Washington Pity on the 27th
of last month for the purpose of making
la tour of in.-pection through some of
i the Southern States lately in rebellion,
I and to see what change- were necessary
j to he made in the disposition of the
; military forces Of the country ; how
j these forces could be reduced and ex
pense- curtailed, etc., and to learn as
far as possible the feelings and inten
! tionsof the citizens of those States to-
wards the General Government.
The State of Virginia being so ucces-1
sible to Washington city, and informa
tion from this quarter, therefore, being i
readiiy obtained, 1 hastened through
the State, without conversing or meet
ingwithauyof its citizens. In Kaleigh,
X. C., I spent one day; in Charleston,
S. ('., two days; Savannah and Augus
ta, Georgia, each one day. Both in
travelling and stopping 1 saw much,
and conversed freely with the citizens
of those States, as well as with officers
of the army who have been stationed
among them.
The following are the conclusions
come to by me; lam satisfied that the
mass of thinking men of the South ac
cept the present situation of affairs in
good faith. The questions whieli have
heretofore divided the sentiments of
the peopled" the two sections.—slavery
and State rights—or the right of a State
to secede from the Union, they regard
as having been settled forever by the
higher tribunal, arms, that man can re
sort to. 1 was pleased to learn from
the leading men whom 1 met, that they
not only accepted the decision arrived
at a-final, but now that the smoke of
battle has cleared away and time has
lieon given for reflection, this decision
i has been a fortunate one for the whole
country, they receiving the like bene
fits from it With those who opposed
them in the field and in the council.
Four years of war,during which the
law was executed only at tlie point of
the bayonet throughout the States in
rebellion, have left the people possibly
hi a condition not to yield that ready
obedience to civil authority the Amer
ican people have generally been in the
habit of yielding. This would render
the preseuceof small garrisons through
out those States necessary until such
time as labor returns to its proper chan
nel, and civil authority is fully estab
lished. I did not meet any one. either
those hoidingplace.-,xindergo vern ment,
or citizens of the Southern states, who
think it practicable to withdraw the:
military front the South at present.
The white and the black mutually re- j
quire the protection of the General !
Government. There is such universal i
acquiescence in theauthority of the Gen
eral Government throughout the pur- i
tionof the country visited by me, that
the mere presence of a military force, j
without regard to numbers, is sufficient
to maintain order.
The good of the country, and econo- j
my* require the force kept in the inte- j
rior where there are many freedmen.
Elsewhere in the .Southern States than
lat forts ujon the sea coast no force is
: necessary. They should be all white
| troops. The reasons for this are obvi
ous, without nientioningunuiyof them.
The presence of black troops, lately
; slaves, demoralizes labor both by their
' advice and furnishing in their camps a
I resort tor the freedmen for long distan
; ces around. White troops generally
' excite no opposition, and, therefore, a
small number of them can maintain or
der in a given district. Colored troops
j must be kept in bodies sufficient to de
fend themselves. It is not the thinking
portion who would use violence to
wards any das- of troops sent among
them by the General Government, but
the ignorant in some places might, and
the late slave seems to be imbued with
the idea thai the property of hi- late
master should by right belong to him ;
I at least should have no protection from
the colored soldier. There is danger of
collision being brought on by such can- j
My observations lead me to the con
clusion that the citizens of the South-;
ern States are anxious to return to self
government within the Union as soon
as possible. That whilst re-eoustruc
ting they want and require the protec
tion from the government that tiiey
think is required by the government
not humiliating to them as citizens, and
that if such a course was pointed out
they would pursue it in good faith. It
is tii be regretted that there cannot be j
a greater commingling at this time be- !
tween the citizens of the two sections, j
anil particularly of thoseentrusted with
the law-making power.
i did not give the operations of the
FreedmenV Bureau that attention I
would have done if more time had
been at my disposal. —< 'onversations on
the subject, however, with officers con
nected with the bureau, led me to think
! that in some of the States it- all'airs
have not been conducted with good j
i judgment or economy, and the belief
widely spread among the freedmen of
; the Southern States, that the lands of!
j their former owner will, at bast in part, j
lie divided among them, has come from
among the agents of t hi-bureau. This
1 belief is seriously interfering with the.
; willingness of the freedmen to make
contracts for the coining year.
in some form the freedmen'.- Bureau
1 is an absolute necessity until civil law
is established and enforced, securing to
j the freedmen their rights and full pro
tection. At present, however, it is in
dependent of the military establish
ment of the country, and seems to be I
operated by the different agents of the
bureau according to their individual
notions. Every where General Howard,
the able head of the bureau, made
friends by the just and lair instructions
and advice he gave; but the complaint
in South Carolina was, that when he
left, thing-went on as before. Many,
perhaps the majority, of the agents of
the Freedmen's Bureau advise thefm-d
--men that by their own industry they
must exj>ei' 1 i- ;4iye._ To this end they
tWVd'YiYiYi to see that both contracting
partiescomply with their engagements.
In some instances, I am sorry to say,
the freedmen's mind does not seem to 1
be disabused of the idea that the freed
man has the right to live witliout care
or provision for the future. The effect
of the belief in the division of lands is
idleness and accumulation in camps,
towns and cities. In such eases 1 think
it will be found that vice and disease
will tend to the extermination or great
reduction of the colored race. It can
not he expected that the opinions held
by men at the South for years can be
changed in a day, and therefore the
freedinen require for a few years not
onlv laws to protect them, but the fos
ter! ng t-are ol' those who will give them '
good council, and on whom they rely, j
The Freedmen's Bureau being separa- j
ted from the military establishment of 1
the country, requires all the expense ot
a separate organization. One does not i
necessarily know what the other is do-!
ing, or what order they are acting un
der.
It seems tome this could be corrected
by regarding every officer on duty with
troops in the Southern States as agents
of the Freedmen's Bureau, and then
have all orders from the head of the
bureau sent through Department Com
manders. This would create a respon
sibility that would secure uniformity
of action throughout the South, would
ensure the orders and instructions from
the head of the bureau being carried
out, and would relieve from duty and
pay a large numberof employees of the
government. I have the honor to he,
very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant,

Tearful Story of I*y<lrophotli—-!•th <>r
Six Children from liirMilU of ftllittcn
row-
Mr. Henry Drew, Assistant Superin
tendent of Public Property, has related
to us the particulars of a case of hy
drophobia at the village of Waterloo,
which surpasses in tragic interest al
most any story of the kind we ever
read.
Some six or soven years ago a marl
dog went through the village of Wa
terloo, Jefferson county, and bit a num
ber of animals. Among others he snap
ped at the leg of a cow belonging to
Mr. Babeock. The animal was exam
ined, but no mark was found, and it
was supposed that it escaped being bit
ten. The animal was afterwards sold
to a man by the name of Garrison, who
used her milk very freely, as did two
of his children. Some of the neighbors,
including Mr. Drew's family were
also supplied with the milk <>f this
cow.
At different times during the time
since the cow was bitten, there has been
inexplicable and fatal sickness among
those using her milk, and two children
of Mr. < Jarrison, two of Mr. Drew, and
two others haye been attacked with
spasms and died in agony. Mr. Gar
rison has also Iteen attacked at times
with spa-ms. The mystery of this sick
ness was solved by the death, with ev
ery symptom of hydrophobia, a short
time ago, of the cow so slightly bitten
seven years ago, and in whose system
madness hail been latent ever since.—

A SfßAl' FOR THE HISTORIAN.— ;
While Gen. Butler is writing his reply j
to Gen. Grant, let him not forget to in- !
sert a conversation between himself I
and an able officer which is not un- J
! known in army circles.
An expedition was planned against
1 Richmond. Butler observed to tin-pro- j
posed leader, "You must leave nothing !
of Richmond," "Do you mean, seri
ously, destroy the city?" "Yes, and
have the ground ploughed up." The j
officer addressed replied, "I am not the !
man for the expedition." "Yes you ;
are; you are just the man," "There 1
must be, according to numbers, at least ;
: one thousand children, one thousand!
' aged and decrepit persons, and one ;
! thousand women big with ehihl, These
i helpless persons must all perish if 1 tire
| the city, and, setting aside all prumpt
! lugs of humanity, 1 do not care to go t
down to posterity with that kaui of in-'
fatny upon me." "Hotter godownthat j
way than not at all."— N. Y. Warfd. i
BF.X.T A MIX PIIINNEY, a wealthy
farmer at Rockport, 111., was recently

J health is good ; hut when they arc in excess, pains,
j colds, rheumatism, gout, debility, costiveness, di- ;
| arrhea, dysentery, erysipelas, Ac.. Ac., afflict us. j
1 What we have to do to recover our health is to I
take out from the Bowels and the circulation the j
j excess of impurities. This done, health follows of
necessity. BKANDRETH'S PILIS are the only !
medicine that can do this work with entire safety 1
j THOUSANDS are now living who have adopted
j Brandreth's Pills as their only remedy for periods j

i selves, when sick, by using these innocent and in- |
i fallible Pills. Principal office, Brandreth Building, j
