er. 1t is only question as to how long
the functions of particular States shall
be suspended; and that question is to
be answered by the question OF safe.
ty. 1t may be deemed safe and expe-
dent to admit the delegates from Ten
nessee this winter, while it might BIO
deemed unsafe and inexpedient to adj
nit representation from South Car
DINA, though it had gone as far in the
forms of reorganization as Tennessee.
The President says his policy is ut
tended with some risk. If he means
that State would have a right to de-
'aamd representation in Congress as
soon as 1t had gone through the forms
of reorganization, and Congress had
no power to deny it, then we agree
there would be risk, and a good deal of
it. But we understand the President
himself comedies this power to Con-
gress, and think If it is exercised with
moderate craftsmanship there is but
/ little risk.
We believe, therefore, there is no sub
stantial difference OH this question be-
tween the President and the majority
in Congress; for we take it the terrific
rial theory mon are a minority. There
may be differences as to the rate OF pro-
gross, but we think not AS to the mode
of procedure. Upon this y point
the President does not even take
the liberty of making sugges-
tiOns, much less of attempting to
dictate. but leaves the entire question
with Congress, where it belongs.
There are other points in the message
closely connected with the general
policy of restoration, to which we shall
take occasion TO refer hereafter.
