How They Get Along in washington

With ALI the disabling clauses they can infen'
they seem still TO be afraid that there wiii be
so,,s mower lcf, along with the disloyalty that
pervades the country. Therefore they pro-
nose, in addition, TO exact solemn pledges from
the Southern States that they will not 10
great many things. And this sort Of pledge
making is 10 bind our heirs and assigns ana all
future generations in the South forever 10
1t would seem that even the Radicals are ois-
posed 10 put some faith in our word ana "
take that for all matters which they S"''''o'

he Difficult, to imagine a limit 10 their wishes
and designs in the matter OF Southern h'lnlli-
alton. But nevertheless there is point with
regard to the question of rcactcability be- ond
which ii will be found difficult 10 go. Amend
ments TO the Constitution cannot be decided
bv Congress The States have to vote upon
calculations OF the extreme Republicans.
Another question OF prac tcabilty will arise
affecting the interests OF the Northern people
Disable and impoyerish the South still fur
Their and what can the Government get from
tho South in the way Of revenue? How can
tho Northern factories get along without our
staples
The telegraph published this morning shows
that Congress is still busy i'll carving ont new
matter on the chief subject of agitation.
Mr.. CoxKLlxc, of New York, proposed to
reconstruct the South upon certain conditions,
most Of which have been embodied in other
propositions such as, first, absolul" lAbso-
lutisrs are alwaS srs1y 0tsolutc remuneration OF
secession second, reputation of rebel debts
of all kinds; third, the adoption OF such
measures rs will relieve the General Govern
ment of the necessity OF keeping standing
armies III the South ANA fourth, that there
shall be no representation OH the basis oil sec
tional ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The telegraph adds 10 the word - agsran-
dZemant the abbreViation d" &c. N@>hould
think this quite comprehensive enough Al
though we do not know the exact meaning OF
the "no representation on the basis OF sectional
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 80 We suppose the full report
ymail will explain il. As il IL present stands,
we might infer al advantage 10 The South, as
there is no sectional ACKNOWLEDGEMENT here now
10 speak of-that is altogether iii I'll" North.
But as we could not expect any such kindness
from CoSKLISG, we know what he means II
not what he says.
Wemay regard with Indifference these demon
STATIONS of passion and fanatcism. II is our
turn now to trust 10 the - logic of events II
is true we cannot but feel q good degree OF in
dignation ii the brutality of some propositions
at the deliberate system of nisreprcsenta-
ton employed 10 arouse ana increase lreIudicrs
against us-;tt the atrocity Of the Titupcration
heaped upon Us ; and some III anguish may
cry out. .. Is thy servant 4 dog, that he
should suffer this But Il little reflection Will
