When the man Of nerve heard Of the eight
Of bis daughter, he Immediately summoned
his dcpendahts, who sought to restore ber
father. One parent was oil passion, the
other was oil decision. While they we're
comparing their mutual aud common gri.l
and dissppoio, o,ment, the married lover,
came trembling into their angry presence
and kneeling down, asked forgiveness and
parental blessings ,npnn, what, was nov
irrevocable.. What was the parents sur
prise TO ind that the funaw match wa,
just p,erlsely the one they had planned
and the supposed failure of shicb had sc
deeply excited them. The man OF nerve
acquitted himself With tccoming tcsigna
tiou, and, since It had all ended right, b,
extended TO the lovers the hoon they
begged. The nervous msa refused alto
gethcr TO be comfor'ed, propitisted o'
even soothcd. He refused, and declared
that he would persist forever In refusing &c
receive back again tbe son Who had been
so disobsdient. When his outburst o'
passion had sonncwhat subsided, the man
Of nerve said: Well. now, o'd friend. why
won'r you forgive himt Have you not
got the matter oil your own way after ALL
Why, yes, replied the nervous mao. / have
got Il all my own way. Then why viii
you not forgive him! said the man Of nerve
Why. DAMN 1t. l haven't had my owo way
of having II. This, think, is the differ
ence between the President. who IL . man
OF nerve.n the Executive chair at Washing

House OF Representative. Both have GOT
the Union restored as they originally plan
ned it should be They have got 1t res.

not with secession, aagrant or latent, but
without IT,; not with compensation fol

loyal States end representatives; not with

upon the rebels and the loyal men; not

tanning industry, With refugees under 'he
protection Of law and order. The man oil
nerve sees that 1t has come out right at
last. land be accepts the situation. He
does not forget that in this troublesome
world Of ours the most to be secured by
anybody is to have things come out right
Nobody can ever expect TO hsve them
brought out OIL ogetber his sown way. The
nervous men, on the other hand, hesitate.
delay, debate aud sgonize--uot because it
has not come out right. but because they
have not Individually had their ow n way iD
bringing it to that happy termination.
i have said that j apprebend no serious
d ficul:y or calamity, This confidence
arises from the conviction which enter
tanned that there never was any and never
can be any process for the restoration Of
The Union and harmony among the States,
except the one with which the Presiden,
has avow.d Lims, If satisfied. Gsant il
that the rebellion is dispersed. ended and
exhausted, dead even ats,he root, then il
follows necessarily that the States sooner
or later mast be- organized by. loyal pen
10 accordance with The cbauge)n our fund i.
mental Law, and that, being SO organized.
they should come by loyal representatives
and resume.the places in the family circle
which, 10 q fit of caprice and passion. they
rebelliously vscated. All the rebel States
but Texas have done just that thing, and
Texas is doing the same thing just now as
fast as possible. The Pres dent is in har.
money with ell the States that were in re.
bellion. Every Executive Department
and the Judicial Depsrr ment are 10 opera.
tion. or are rapidly resumiDg the exercise
Of their functions. Loyal representatives,
more or less, from these States--tnen
whose loyalty may be tried by any consti.
tutional OF legislative test which will apply
even to representatives ofthe States which
have been loyal throughout-are now
standing at the doors II Congress, an.
have be % standing there for three months
past. asking TO be admitted to seats which
dslOyal representatives, IN violence Of Ibe
rights aud duties Of The States, as well as
OF the sovereignty OF the Uuion, had reck
lessiy abandoned These representatives..
after lapse OF three mon hs, YET remain
waiting outside the chamber, while Con
gress p.sses law after law. impose burden
after b rden and doty sfer duty upon tie
States which, thus against their earnestly
expressed desires, sfe left without rspresen
ta,ion. So fac as can judge Of human
probabilities, l feel sure that lo,sl men
from tbe now loyal STATES will sooner Or
later. al this session, or at some other. By
this Congress or some other, e r ceived
in'o The Legislature Of the nation. When
this shall have been done, The process OF
restoration will be complete; for that is oil
that DOW fea-aius to be bone. II, 10 this
view OF The suijgct my judgmen, il al faul
then some OF those who, uphold the o 20
site one can show some o,her process OF
restoration which Is practable, and which
eau be and viii be adopted, aud " Leo i is
likely to be adopted. ID es any person
pretend 10 know such Q plan? o. her
plans have. indeed, been meationed. They
were projected d0fiog Mr.. Lincoln's ad
IL Eiaistraiion; they bsye been projected
since. Briefly Geseribfd, these plans have
be a such as hi that Congress-, with the
President conearring. should create what
are called TesrOitOrisl G oyerDmen.s in the
eIeveo States which , we're in rebellion,
and that he should administer The Govern.
ment for an indefinite period by milisry
force, and that after long pusgalion they
should be admitted into The Uuioa BY Con
gressional enactment. This proceeding
