to tho Southern Congrcssmen-How tho
North Feels.
[rroln tho New York IIcralh.l
The extra session has not been for
tunutc for the Southern congressman
or for the real and vital intcrt s's oftheir
section, which they ought to look after.
1t has civ, II ot ca sion for IL renewal of
Northern suspicion Of Southern good
faith. 1t has afforded shrcwd Rcpub-
leans the opportunity 10 revive once
more the slumbcring and, indeed, dy-
ing, rccolIcctiOns Of the rebellion. 1t
has injured Southern credit and South
crn influence. There is Just one way
in which the Southern members may
rchabilitutc themselves and their poo
pie in the confidence Of the sensible
part Of the North; just one way in
which they can disprovc the charges
made against them ofan intention to
kill the army,t to disorganize the gov
ernment, TO attack its credit and to re-
vcltgc themselves and their section for
their defeat in tho war. Lit them at
once take control Of their party
and show the country that they can
make better use Of it for tho countrv's
good than the Northern and semi
Northern dcmagogucs and bluthcr-
sixties who have evoked SO huge and
universal disgust by their misnan-
agcment.
The North is fast getting to believe
that the Southern leaders really enter
tain ultcrior and wicked designs; that
they secretly inspire the folly Of Speak
CT Randall and Northern extremists ;
that it is tho spirit Of the South which
rules and overrulcs the Northern
Democrats, and that these gre Hn9yw! n9w, ,ia|ss as
humble tools Of designing and unscru-
pulous Southern men. No greater
misfortune could happen to the best
interests Of the Southern people than
that such n belief as this should grin
firm foot-hold in the Northern mind.
We arc not now thinking of party
politics, though nothing could 50

Between now and the first of June

passed in proper shape and signed, aud
il anybody has other bills they need
no debate, but can also be passed and
signed or vetoed, as the case may be
