The Washington Star suggests tina
. the Radical majority in Congress, il
l their eagerness to establish pertec
5 negro equality-social, legal and pc
+ litical-have defeated their pet schem
o by their own hasty and imperfect leg
islation, in the very section Of tn
c country which it was intended to et
e feet. 1t thus shows its imperative
: ness until Congress adopts the view
n Of the President as to the status @
the Southern States:
The execution of the law is intrust
5 ed to the Judiciary of the Unite
States, which judiciary is not organ
lied in the excluded States, and Chic
Il Justice Chase says cannot be organ
( lied until Congress prepares the wa
by appropriate legislation. TIL
lie Radicals must abandon part of thei
t. policy if they wish to insure the con
plete success of the remainder. Thu

" tive only in the Northern and bord
er- States, in most of which its strict e
ed forcement will give but little satisfs
en- ton. Thisis particularly the case
he those States which, like Connected
no are opposed to negro suffrage, a
- those which, like Indiana, legisla
eli against the negro. The legal CO
de- tests certain to ensure will doubtle
Ter strengthen the opponents of the Ra

end cause a reaction fatal TO tho h,
