1.-THE Senate yesterday devoted nearly
the whole session 10 a discussion of South

ments,n not wholly new, yet startling i'll
their disclosures, were made by Southern
Senators. The propriety of making this
investigation seems unquestioned. but
there is great danger that it may lead to
some new measure of reconstruction, OF
which we have had quite enough to de-
moralize the most sober and staid society
in the country. We cannot but believe |
that the source of half the trouble in the
South is the result of mistaken legislation, |
which has given privileges to one class |
and denied them to others, and thus array
ed one party in violent hostility against |
another. We trust an investigation of the |
will convince Congress of the /
folly of continuing these political distinc-
tons, which are provocative only of bitter |
and relentless hostility"
