& It is a remarkable fhct that, while Northern
journals Of the copperhead genus discover
from day to day in the proceedings of Congress
fixed purpose on the part Of the radicals TO
Tylcrize the administration, the leading radical
newspaper organs are beginning 70 recognize
the good results and cheering prospects of
President Johnson's Southern policy. Thus
the Tribune, for example, has at length discov-
cred that the work of reconstruction in pro-
gress at Washington is but the shadow Of the
substantial work going on throughout the
South; that whites and blacks landowners and
laborers, are harmoniously cooperating for
profitable crops of cotton, sugar, rice tobacco
and corn the coming season; that negro suf-
frage need not be enforced as the first essential
to Southern restoration, and that there is
every prospect that oil the Southern States will
be represented in Congress before the close OF
the present session.
Such admissions and calculations from
radical journal Of the straitest sect very
broadly indicate the resistless advances and
the final success Of the restoration programme
Of President Johnson. His work goes prosper
ously on, while the two houses of Congress s are
discussing constitutional amendments, and i'm
agining dangers from the old secession spirit,
still supposed, by such narrow-sighted politi-
clans as Thaddeus Stevens, to be predominant
in the South But 30 it is that often, while
philosophers, reformers and political tinkers
are perplexed with the disorders resulting from
great revolutions, they are quietly settled by
the laws of selfpreservation and selfinterest
operating upon the people directly concerned.
Sclfpreservation suggests to the Southern
whites the necessity Of q good understanding
with the blacks with whom they are inter-
mingled, and selfinterest teaches the saving
policy Of mutual concessions between the two
races. When, too, as in the South, the num-
beers on each side are about equal, and the la
Dor Of the blacks is urgently demanded to res
cue not only themselves, but the whites, from
restitution, we have the strongest securities
for the protection Of the black race
What means, then, this late letter Of General
Grant in which he an Va that for tho ureacnt
