But
far
and
above
their
anger
at
the
waste
and
mismanagement
and
graft
was
the
resentment
of
the
people
at
the
bad
light
in
which
the
governor
represented
them
in
the
North
.
When
Georgia
howled
against
corruption
,
the
governor
hastily
went
North
,
appeared
before
Congress
and
told
of
white
outrages
against
negroes
,
of
Georgia
's
preparation
for
another
rebellion
and
the
need
for
a
stern
military
rule
in
the
state
.
No
Georgian
wanted
trouble
with
the
negroes
and
they
tried
to
avoid
trouble
.
No
one
wanted
another
war
,
no
one
wanted
or
needed
bayonet
rule
.
All
Georgia
wanted
was
to
be
let
alone
so
the
state
could
recuperate
.
But
with
the
operation
of
what
came
to
be
known
as
the
governor
's
"
slander
mill
,
"
the
North
saw
only
a
rebellious
state
that
needed
a
heavy
hand
,
and
a
heavy
hand
was
laid
upon
it
.
It
was
a
glorious
spree
for
the
gang
which
had
Georgia
by
the
throat
.
There
was
an
orgy
of
grabbing
and
over
all
there
was
a
cold
cynicism
about
open
theft
in
high
places
that
was
chilling
to
contemplate
.
Protests
and
efforts
to
resist
accomplished
nothing
,
for
the
state
government
was
being
upheld
and
supported
by
the
power
of
the
United
States
Army
.
Atlanta
cursed
the
name
of
Bullock
and
his
Scallawags
and
Republicans
and
they
cursed
the
name
of
anyone
connected
with
them
.
And
Rhett
was
connected
with
them
.
He
had
been
in
with
them
,
so
everyone
said
,
in
all
their
schemes
.
But
now
,
he
turned
against
the
stream
in
which
he
had
drifted
so
short
a
while
before
,
and
began
swimming
arduously
back
against
the
current
.
He
went
about
his
campaign
slowly
,
subtly
,
not
arousing
the
suspicions
of
Atlanta
by
the
spectacle
of
a
leopard
trying
to
change
his
spots
overnight
.
He
avoided
his
dubious
cronies
and
was
seen
no
more
in
the
company
of
Yankee
officers
,
Scallawags
and
Republicans
.
He
attended
Democratic
rallies
and
he
ostentatiously
voted
the
Democratic
ticket
.
He
gave
up
high-stake
card
games
and
stayed
comparatively
sober
.
If
he
went
to
Belle
Watling
's
house
at
all
,
he
went
by
night
and
by
stealth
as
did
more
respectable
townsmen
,
instead
of
leaving
his
horse
hitched
in
front
of
her
door
in
the
afternoons
as
an
advertisement
of
his
presence
within
.
And
the
congregation
of
the
Episcopal
Church
almost
fell
out
of
their
pews
when
he
tiptoed
in
,
late
for
services
,
with
Wade
's
hand
held
in
his
.
The
congregation
was
as
much
stunned
by
Wade
's
appearance
as
by
Rhett
's
,
for
the
little
boy
was
supposed
to
be
a
Catholic
.
At
least
,
Scarlett
was
one
.
Or
she
was
supposed
to
be
one
.
But
she
had
not
put
foot
in
the
church
in
years
,
for
religion
had
gone
from
her
as
many
of
Ellen
's
other
teachings
had
gone
.
Everyone
thought
she
had
neglected
her
boy
's
religious
education
and
thought
more
of
Rhett
for
trying
to
rectify
the
matter
,
even
if
he
did
take
the
boy
to
the
Episcopal
Church
instead
of
the
Catholic
.
Rhett
could
be
grave
of
manner
and
charming
when
he
chose
to
restrain
his
tongue
and
keep
his
black
eyes
from
dancing
maliciously
.
It
had
been
years
since
he
had
chosen
to
do
this
but
he
did
it
now
,
putting
on
gravity
and
charm
,
even
as
he
put
on
waistcoats
of
more
sober
hues
.
It
was
not
difficult
to
gain
a
foothold
of
friendliness
with
the
men
who
owed
their
necks
to
him
.
They
would
have
showed
their
appreciation
long
ago
,
had
Rhett
not
acted
as
if
their
appreciation
were
a
matter
of
small
moment
.
Now
,
Hugh
Elsing
,
Rene
,
the
Simmons
boys
,
Andy
Bonnell
and
the
others
found
him
pleasant
,
diffident
about
putting
himself
forward
and
embarrassed
when
they
spoke
of
the
obligation
they
owed
him
.
"
It
was
nothing
,
"
he
would
protest
.
"
In
my
place
you
'd
have
all
done
the
same
thing
.
"
He
subscribed
handsomely
to
the
fund
for
the
repairs
of
the
Episcopal
Church
and
he
gave
a
large
,
but
not
vulgarly
large
,
contribution
to
the
Association
for
the
Beautification
of
the
Graves
of
Our
Glorious
Dead
.
He
sought
out
Mrs.
Elsing
to
make
this
donation
and
embarrassedly
begged
that
she
keep
his
gift
a
secret
,
knowing
very
well
that
this
would
spur
her
to
spreading
the
news
.
Mrs.
Elsing
hated
to
take
his
money
--
"
speculator
money
"
--
but
the
Association
needed
money
badly
.
