IM'l’flll.H'AN ORGANIZATION SOITII.
Several of tho agents sent to t ln*
South by the I{«-|»iil>5i<-:«u Congrcs
nional Executive Committee have re
turned, and rejiort that the Republi
cans in all of the .Southern State* are
organizing rapidly, lint that there is
much clisaeimiou in the party, arising
out ol strife for leadership. In
Virginia the policy ol confiscation is
openly discussed, and finds advocates
amo*ng the freed men as well as a few
white demagogues, and it will lie al
most impossible to conciliati them
with the equally strong Union Party
which accepts the Military Act as a
finality of reconstruction. With the!
party thus divided in that State there
can he no douht hut that the elections
will W lost to the Republicans. In
Georgia the organization of the party
is most perfect, but the majority of its
members are under the control of ex
treme confiscation Radicals. They
have not yet, however, introduced that
idea into any |«olitical meetings, and
the resolutions tluis far adopted by
them at their gatherings have em
braced nothing more radical than the
accepted Congressional policy. Other
agents are still traveling through the
South, and the Committee is receiving
daily communications from them,
through which it is kept constantly
posted regarding the progress of
political iffair* and the exact ntu tan of
the party organization. The Com
mittee has ordered 25,000 copies ot
McPherson’s Political Manual for
i-n” for general distribution in the
Ninth. Thousands upon thousands of
doc have already hccti sent
oil’ under the Congressional frank of
its members, and a considerable cleri
cal force is engaged in mailing more
ot them. .V. )'. Tint?*.

every hazard. Efforts to intinibioU the
humble and ignorant voter on the part of
the Southern planter, must be met with
the spirit of freemen, and the determina
