The Negro Suffrage Question South-The
True Policy OF the Southern States.

The Negro Suffrage Question South-The
True Policy OF the Southern States.
The great object of the late rebellion was
an Independent Southern confederacy, resting
upon the corner stone of African slavery. 1t
was rebellion of the Southern slaveholding
aristocracy for The maintenance and extension
of that peculiar institution" from which they
had derived their wealth and their social,
political and commercial power. They thus
plunged into revolutionary struggle, the issue
of which, after year of temporizing on the
part of the government, was reduced to the
simple question whether the Union or Southern
slavery should be destroyed.
Upon that issue the battle has been fought
out, and with the overthrow Of Davis and his
confederacy this Southern institution of slavery
has ceased to exist 1t is destroyed, and with
its death, the compromises Of the federal con-
stituton the laws of Congress- the black laws
of the late slave States and Of the free States,
and all the political dogmas and ideas upon
which this system of slavery depended, must
be numbered among the things of the past
The bred Scott Interpretation of the constitu-
ton from the Supreme Court, under which "the
negro has no rights poitical rights which q
white man is bound to respect" goes with all
this other rubbish into the dumping ground Of
slavery. The slave States have passed the
ordeal of great revolution. Old things are
done away among them, and all things have
become new, socially and politically. Their
| four millions of slaves are changed TO four
millions of freemen. They were chattels-they
now claim to be citizens What b to be done
with themf
The President Of the United States has turned
over this question 10 certain specified loyal
white voters in the late rebel States, In their
work Of reorganization. To these loyal whites
belongs the task Of settling this question in the
revision of their several State constitutions, or
in the initial measures of their new State Legis-
laiures. Now, looking simply at the local,
social and Industrial interests, and at the ma
tional political interests of the Southern States
| Il appears "a plain to us as that two and two
make four, that 1t is the true policy Of said
States TO concede the principle Of negro suf
frnee in their work Of State reorganization
whatever may be the limitations prescribed
II Is clearly the interest of the late rebel States
to get back into Congress as soon as possible
but there is great danger Of their exclusion from
both houses for at least two years to come, upon
this question Of negro suffrage, and they may
possibly fare no better in the next succeeding
Congress, If they persist In the total exclusion
Of the black race from the ballot box. The
disorganized Southern SAtsa NAV Mus continue

PROGRESS OF THE RESTORATION OF THE SOUTH
ERIN STArEs.-President johnson is gradually
but effectuslly pushing forward his policy Of
restoration of the States recently in rebellion.
On Saturday last he appointed as Provisional
Governor Of South Carolina Benjamin F. Perry,
a well known citizen of that State and a
thorough Union man from the commencement
Of South Carolina notification in 1882 down
to and through the late shareholders rebel
lion, adhering during the dark and doubtful
days Of the last four years TO the United States.
This leaves only one more State to be provided
for in the appointment Of temporary Cover
nor-the State of Florida-when the machinery
for the restoration and reg eneratlon of the South
will be in full motion. By the time the
next Congress meets we may expect to see the
South thoroughly loyal in the Union harness,
side by side with the loyal North, zealously
laboring together and vieing with each other
in their devotion to the Union.
The President, in selecting his officials to
administer the laws of the South, has invariably
selected residents of the States in which they
were to ofiiciate. An effort was made to Sc
cure the appointment of Northern colonel as
Governor of south Carolina; but Mr.. johnson
declared that If there was no man among the
residents Of the State who could be trusted "he
would wait until they could make one" In
adhering CLOSELY to this policy he has saved
himself vast amount Of trouble, and has Sc
cured men thoroughly oonversant with the in
terests and peculiarities Of the Southern peo-
pie. This, with the evident disposition Of the
South to abide the results Of the war and cheer
fully acquiesce In all the verdicts which have
followed the appeal taken from the ballot box
to the arbitrament Of war, cannot fail to have
On important influence on the minds of the
Southern people and secure more speedy re-
turn Of the South to the Union fold than In
any other way.
The people Of the whole country will to-
morrow celebrate the birth Of the nation, also
it's preservation and the return of peace after
four years Of civil war. The success which is
attending the restoration policy Of President
johnson bids fair to 30 speedily and COM
pletely reunite the broken fragments and re-
store good feeling between the two sections Of
the country that the people from the lakes to
the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will,
ON the return Of another anniversary, add to
their celebration that Of the restoration of the
the entire Union, full and complete in all Its
! narts. TIA reigp Of assQs end plsnu and
