Reconstruction.

Ii seems that President Johnson is
sending all the rebels back to the South.
to vote and control affairs in their re-
spcctive States in the return of the
same TO the Union. This may be wise
policy but we "can't see it," The old
adage is. "a runaway horse is not 10 be
trusted" and We think the application
of the sentiment contained in this
phrase is peculiarly applicable TO the
rebels a; this time-especial'y to the
leaders of the late rebellion.
We are aware that many persons be.
lieve the politicians Of the South who
have figured in the rebellion are dead
and buried. politically. beyond the hope
of resurrection; but We fear this is not
the case. The South is badly whipped;
they feel and acknowledge the fact; but
there is yet the sullen. .sulky mood there.
which feels something Of hate and a
desire for revenge. All this feeling will
center around the old leaders. and may
prove troublesome and formidable. Jusl
how strong it s.or how far it may mani
fest itself. remains to be seen: but it is
not best to trust it too far or to throw
the elements that can combine and con
centrate it, where they will have ful
scope TO act.
prejudice at the South against associa
ting with the negroes on equality, Thi:
is a natural result growing on, Of the
relation Of master and slave. The me.
nial race have always been regarded
~ith something of scorn by the domi.
nant party. Time must be given fol
the correction-ss far as it can be cor.
rected-of this feeling. The recent
leaders Of the South will prove very
poor aids in the work Of tanishing this
prejudice.
The amendment 10 the Constitution
has TO be ratified or rejected by the
Southern States. II some Of them dc
not ra,ify. the amendment prohibiting
Slavery is lost-unless. indeed. the
seceeded States are declared in law as
in fact. out Of the Union. and not per-
mitted 10 vote on tbe amendment at all.
Twenty seven States must ratify the
proposed amendment before it becomes
part Of the Constitution. The non.
compliance OF ten States will defeat the
measure. How does it s.and? The
two Carolinas. Georgia. Florida, Mis-.
sissippi, Arkansas. Texas. Virginia
Louisiana Kentucky. Alabama Della
ware. Here are twelve States. two o.
which Delaware and Kentucky, have
already rejected the amendment. With
the secession element let loose. can We
depend upon any Of them? !? There j,
a doubt of the result. where doub,
should not exist. New Jersey may
vote nay: and if so three at least Of the
States named must be carried for it, ol
the amendment fails. Tennissee mus,
also vote aye. Here is matter foI
thought. Can the rebel element OF the
South be trusted in such crisis W.
