How TO Restore the Union.

This government problem is very per-
picking one, says the Vicksburg Jour"a%
and while our Jacobin Congress adhereS
to its determination TO admit no deIega-
tons from the Southern States, we have
until now, been unable to see how the
restoration of the Union is to be accom-
plished. The New York Herald, how
ever, suggests the following easy and
practical solution Of the difficulty, and we
hope the South will promptly act upon It,
But, in spite of all this, there is still a
mode BY which the South may secure
representation in our national councils
not only with the consent oflhe Jacoh'ns'
but with their enthusiastic appreciation and
assistance. One distinction the Jacoblns
are ready and anxious to make and 1t Is
the only one which has not yet been pre-
sented to them by the Southern people
If the comments Of the JacobIn orators
and organs upon the recent interview be
tween President and the negroes be at
,entiyeIy considered, and il the speech oil
Chief Justice Chase, when introducing
Fed Douglass to a Washington audience
be carefully weighed, we shall find clue
which will enable us TO clear up this whole
imbroglio. It's the color Of the South
EN- delegates which is SO obnoxious to the
Jscobins in Congress.
Thew do not care for Sjulhern rep
resentative's record or his character; bu
if he be white man they at once decide
against him. They hold that the only
truly loyal men at the South are negroes
who raised provisions to keep the rebe
armies in the field, and did all the hart
work upon those rebel forts and batterIe
to capture which so many Of our gaI'an
soldiers sacrificed their lives. This beln
the Jacobin theory, the South has only

trouble. Let a fine, likely lot Of BIZ
strapping negroes-each with face
black as ink, eyes and teeth as white

mouth as large as the Mammoth Cave
