Response by TIE Tribune.

We do not think the practical proposition OF The
Intelig,ncer respecting Senators in just accord with
tho principle wherein it purports to be founded
what we think would be a fair realization OF The
Iatciigsncers idea would be as follows:
Each state with less than 10000 enfranchised pop.
u,G.!On. senator
Over 800 600 and under 900 600 Senators
For additional Oo0 90 more
This, we Judge, would obviate all just complaint Of
the nequaIty of representation in the Senate; and
this we stand ready to support if demanded by those
who demur to the apportonmcut Of Representatives.
on the basis of eniranchiSed population. We are
quite as ready to accord right as to demand it.
Tie Inieligcucer thinks the present laws OF Mary
land "dsgracefu" in that they exclude from voting
those whose hearts (and often their also) were
on the side of the Rebels in our late struggle Now,
such prescription is on the other road from that We
wish to travel. We want to eniranchise the loyal;
and that done, we see no need Of DISTINGUISHING the
other sort. We hope to live to all the people Of
Maryland, COlored and Rebel inclusive, enlran-
chised. Yet we cannot consider tie disfran-
chsement complained Of unjust, nor even
severe. The Maryland DisunonistS were traitors
at heart 20 thoir State as well as to the Union Those
who stayed at home were as bitter aud often as active
efficient Also as those who fought in the Rebel ranks
with Bradley johnson, Harry Gilmor, and Admiral
Buchanan. On the whole, we feel that they have
been let of quite cheapy, though we do not object to
this Whenever they will take ground FOX Impartial
Suffrage we shall consider them reconstructed, and
plead Tor the restoration to them Of the Right OF SUI
ffage. Meanwhile, zee are in no hurry, however II
NAV be with them

closing his message to the legislature, uses the
following sensible anti radical language.
In the work OF restoring the revoltcd states
to their appropriate federal relations, great
questions still remain for solution. While we
cannot ignore the obligations which honor ami
good faith impose on the government toward
all who have been faithful in its behalf, we en-
terrain the confident hope that enlightened
statesm inslip will solve these difficult prob
lens in spirit ut once humane, magnanmous,
and just, and OH principles which will commend
themselves to the approval of all the friends of
the government, and secure the public safety.
We must not be unmindul of the practical dit.
fcultics which confront us in the settlement OF
questions like these, nor inpatient OF the un.
avoidable delay incident to the working out Of
convictions aud the attainment OF results,
when dealing with organic reforms in the
structure of political institutions. Toward our
misguided countrymen we entertain no feel
ing of bitterness or unkindness and, animated
by quality of generous forbearance, We will
cordially Corporate, in our respective sphere
of influence in supporting the general inter-
ests of all those entitled to invoke orr protec.
ton. With firm adherence to the just rights
ofall, in spirit Of kindness, all traces of
