On the 9th of April Lee surrendered, and on the 14th of April the old flag was again raised over Fort Sumter, while on the evening of the same day Lincoln was assassinated. Tw»yea|» after this latter date, find' the lower House of Congress is the xnen who.fried for four years to destroy the government. If Republicans continue to heed the Democratic cry of reform and follow 0n,1876 will find tbe rebels in power and able to do by their votes what they failed to do by the sword. Republicans, remember the days of 1864-2-3-4, and call a halt. The cry of reform is the’Democratic advance guard—sent out to decoy the Re publican army into the enemy’s camp,, and the number of Rebel Congressmen proves that thus for it has succeeded admirably. Stand to your colors and work for reform in your own ranks. John Fro<le is no more. You probably don’t know him. He lived in Western Missouri, and on entering ths smoke-house of a friend to see how the hams got along, a trap gun blew his bead off.
