The constitutional amendment is to be
urged ON the South, by the congressional
Radicals. a} the condition ON which the
southern states can renew their peaceful
relations with the Union. rt Is So threat
ened by some, aud insisted ON by many. II
not agreed "a, by the southern states. then
a punishment Us Decentralization to-
Territorial form OF government On this
point the New York World suggests the
old and sound maNim, that one man can
lead Il horse to water, but dozen men
can't make him driuk, aud it goes into the
argument that Il Is impertiuent to talk OF
/ imposing terms on the South. when the
South is inst a. free TO reject the pronered
terms as to accept them. 1hae is aoporc,
] iH he GoreramoNt In ,,,iish Stdtc for re-
Jusiag to ratifg emeudmcpiS 10 ne Coasi0a-
ton. When by the requsitenumber OF rati-
ications, such amendments become part
OF the Constitution. they have the force OF
law and bind the whole country; but while
they are more proposals they have no sort
orlcgal force The intervention Ola popu-
lar election between their proposal by Con-
gress and the action OF the State Legisla-
lures upon them, counts for nothing, sine,
amendments are never ratified by popu-
lar vote. To parade such vote as proving
the success of tile amendments is sheer i'm
lpertinence and absurlity. The cleo
tions may poyc--what required no proc
that certain States will rattty Tie amend
mcnt hut If those states are not three
lourths Of the whole number, the amend
ment nomorc prevails than if every stat
opposed it. It is just rs iiata future as j
it had not received the requisite two-third
ofCongress just as much failure as il /
had never got beyond the Republican cat
Gus. Il is absurd to the degree of being
udicrous, absurd to the degree of hciu'

to swagger rs they do over the lare clec
