The South ana the situation.

From the Times.
If the Southern journals reflect correctly the
feelings and convictions of the Southern people,
the chances of friendly settlement are slim
indeed.
With peryersity which is inexpllcable they
not only refuse to accept the terms rendered
them by the North, but they spurn the idea
that other and harsher terms may be forced
upon them. They appear to have cheated them
selves into the belief that, despite the war and
its results they are masters of the situation and
may dictate the conditions upon which they
shall re-enter the Union. Hence their refusal TO
ratify the amendment is accompanied with
declarations indicative of belief that, with
the President on their side, they have only TO
wait TO secure a triumph.
The various forms in which this delusion
manifests itself would be amusing were they
not pregnant with calamity to the people that
cherish them. The Charleston Mereltru for eX-

tories, the Mercury consoles its readers with the
reflection that this policy cannot be carried out,
because the President, holding 1t to be uncon'

ern Democrats assailed as unconstitutional. But
