give no evidence that they WILL favor
the Presidential policy of "restora,
tion," but on the contrary, manifest
radical dissent therefrom. The
programme in course Of development
under the guidance of such ultra par
tisans as STEVENS, WILSON and
SUMNER, betrays virulence of Sec
tionalism by no means calculated to
restore the "perfect Union" on
basis of mutual civil and constitu
tional rights. According to this pro
gramme the South is to remain tor
an indefinite time in a sort of III
choate condition, unrepresented in
the National councils, and her PEG
pie restrained under the most inhibi
tory provisions from participating
even in the work of re establishing
their own internal political relations
and affairs.
The stubborn refusal ON the pat
of the ultra Republicans to relax
their mode and policy of treatment
toward the South, after the prompt
and honorable obedience her people
have yielded to the obligations and
requirements imposed on them by
Executive authority, is a species OF
prescription altogether incompatible
with that spirit Of harmony and JUS
tice SO much needed to be exercised
by every one having the true interests
of the whole country at heart.
The bill introduced by Mr.. SUM-
NER, in the u. s. Senate, which pro-
vides that grand juries shall consist
of one-halt of persons of African de-
scent in sections where one-sixth OF
the population are Africans, and the
same proportion Of petit juries in a
matter where person of African de-
scent is concerned, is one of those
experiments peculiar to that school
of pseudo statesmen and philanthro-
pists, which is continually aiming by
false standards to improve the body
polite, and resulting in the achieve
ment only of accumulated evil. OF
the same class of bills but more spe-
cially marked if anything by vim
dictiveness of character, is the bill
said to have been introduced into the
Senate, which provides for the dis
Establishment of all who voluntarily
took the oath to support the Southern
Confederacy. This does not look
much like sustaining the President
in his disposition and DEGREES exten.
ding pardon and forgiveness to those
of his fellow citizens who have
sought in good faith the Executive
clemency and have cheerfully come
forward to renew, under the pre-
scribed forms of oath, their allegiance
to the United Sta'es Government
But, where combined elements OF
radicalism and fanaticism prevail. we
can expect little else than obnoxious
class legislation. Our only hope for
ultimate reform in these matters is in a
steadfast consistent policy toward the
South, as inaugurated by the Presi-
dent, backed by the conservative in
huences Of the true national men OF
the country, outside as well as with
in, the halls of Congress.
