Po,cy In Respect to the Seeded state.

Policy In Respect to the Seeded States.
A writer in the New York Evening Post
makes the following seneible suggestions
Whatever theories We may form a the legal
posjion Of the Hauthern communities, the
novel and unprecedented state Of affairs 10
them must occaaion us great cmbarrassments.
Great States are In rebellion, this is the actual
and cons picious fact; and however we may
deny the name and rights of State 10 an or
gau,zalion hostile 10 the Coustitution. We do
not csesps the practical difficulty. Not only
the Government, not only the political and
social orgauiz ,tioD, but the great mass Of fthe
people, are, 10 some ot those communities,
bitterly hoatile to ne; and tho State organiza-
tiou, If entrusted 70 their hands, will be used
covertly but really, in the interest Of treason
A reorganization must take place: ibis is an
obyioas necessity which no theories can satisfy
II the necessity Ia admitted az n practical re-
ality, aud the iuterposilion Of Congress as the
sole arbiter Of affairs there Is justified, II mat
tiers little whether II be under The Glsuse Of
| the Constitution gl,arantyiDg republican gov
erntnenis, or under that giving exclusive jn
risdiotion over the unorgsnized trritcry o
the nation.
The essential facs is that Ihe systsm Of soceI )
il 40 broken 10 those States that Il is wholly uL
able TO recover itself, and needs TO bs restored
by the extraueous authority OF Congress. Tht
rebellious Organization must be crushed and {
new one instituted, and Il 10 for Congress TO say
| by what methods the new systsm shall be es
tabllshed aud who shall take part 10 II. Tb'
very nature OF the case implies an inter venins
condition Of afairs. In which the authority O
Congress must bridge tba chasm between The
eSisting rebsllious organization and the future
loyal one.
However Wa may differ about The Theoretical
power by which the work IL to be done, IL i
gratifying to find that there are grounds q
agreement In T, speCt to the obligation and au
thority Of Congress TO restore loyal sysiem o
things iu the South, The patriotic impulse
which dictate a concurrence In this great dut,
must precede, aud the decision which must ao
complish restored Union.

did he manage the gun that every shot told.

tho PORTFOLIOS OF the Merrimac was opcned,
