HOW DID IT HAPPEN ? Ben Hill savs that the South forgives the North for what it did it during the war. This is refreshing The Nirth, with about as much grace, can thank the South for th $3,000,000,000 national debt, rhe 100,000 pensioners, the 200,- 000 widows and orphans and our 500, slain. National Rrpubliaan, Very gracefully done, indeed! The South would have been cowardly and pusilanimous beyond measure, had she permitted the killing of her men and the desolation ot her homes without a struggle We would ask tbe Republi ixin how come it that the North ost over 600,000 slain, and where did they fall ? Tbe only Southern sol diers who died on Northern soil were those who were carried forcibly away and immured in the irozen walls of Northern prisons ; tha others laid down their lives upon their native heah, while defending their once happy fire sides from arson and pillage. oroe how Southern people were brought up to re- regard their nouses a- their lortxesses, and cherishing this sacred old common aw principle they used the force it ustified to expel the invaders from their thresholds. Be it said to the Btan less honor and stoical fortitude of the Con federate soldier, he desecrated no churches, he laid waste no homes, he burnt no cities, be i-vaded no fire sides, be offered himself a satrifice upon the altar of natriotism. and. fell at last in the arms of the wife and children, in the door of the home he loved so -well. We dislike ex eedinelv to speak of the results and misfortunes of the war, as they ought to be forgotten and bur ied, in the tomb ; yet, we cannot sutler to' go unnoticed the slanders and insults constantly heaped upon our lost cause and honored dead. "Let the dead rest in peace. In discussing the amnesty bill, and endeavoring to show why its provi- niornj should not apply to Jefferson Davis, ex-Speaker Blaine aid : "I declare betore Uod, measuring my words, knowing their tun extent and import, that neither the Duke of Alva ia the Low Countries, nor the author uf the massacre of .

It was probably wel for Mr. Blaine that the days of miracles had passed else -ifce-lsetttwU "hewat speaking might have eheked his utterance and like Ananias of old caused him to fall dea'd in hit 'tracks."

We come charging on the Union no wrong to us. 1 he Union never wronged tne Stiuih. The Union has been nn un mixed blessing to every section; to every &iaie, to every man 01 every ooJor in America. We charge all our wrongs to that 'higher law' faniiciui which never kept a pledge or obeyed a aw. We sought to leave the associa- inn of IhiM-e wlio would not keep fidelity to the covenant. We sought to go by. oureives ; nut solar irom having lost our fidelity to the Constitu tion wo hugged it to our bosom and carried it with us. Brave Union men of the North, followers of Webster and Gillmore, of Css sod D.)uc!as, you who fought for the Union for the sake of the Union, vou who ceased to tight when the battle was ended and the sword was sheathed, with you we huve no quarrel. We felt your heavy arm in the midst of the struggle, but above he roar of cannon we heard your voice of kindness calling: 'Brothers, come back." We are here to cooper ate with vou, to do whatever we can n spi'e of all our sorrows to rebuiM the Union, to restore peace, to be a lei-sing to the country, and to make the American Union what our father's ntended it should be the glory of America and the blessing of humanity.

Swearinc Off No More Wixixg and Dining For the Wa.-hisntox m pkkmk Court Judges.
