The Emperor of the French had been informed that the continuation of French troops in Mexico was not agreeable to the United States, and on the 5th of April, 1866. Napoleon's Secretary for Foreign Affairs gave assurance to our Government that those troops should be withdrawn within a specified time.

See note 1, page 48. The State elections held in the autumn of 1866 indicated the decided approval by the people, of the reorganization plans of Congress as opposed to that of the President, who was now openly affiliated with the Democratic party and the late e

In Charlestown, Massachusetts, on the same day, a woman took steps for the formation of a society, for the same purpose; On the afternoon of that day, Miss Almena Bates, of Charlestown, Massachusetts, read the President's call for men, and the idea at once occurred to her that some of the men must go from Charlestown, and that they would need aid and comfort from home.

Their work as spiritual guides, was :amazingly potential, for they administered medicine to a mind diseased, by which the physician's prescriptions were often made doubly curative.
