Measures looking TO the use OF mill
tsry power and the management Of
Southern elections Ey federal ffi;ialS can
hardly be passed, the Tribue re-
grets to ihlIk, b, cause the Republican
ms )rity in Congress sill be So small !;
ana laws aimed directly ST the Southern
states, and intended TO reduce their
representation, must be drawn with
CREST ctre, IL fears. in order to avoid the
! constitutional objections stated in recent
d.cisiJGs OF the Supreme court-s court,
By the way, which, even before It's laie
sccasSi0ns Of Democrats, held that the
greater part Of Summers last civil
rights bill Was unconstitutional.
] "What, u16er Inc ruling OF the supreme
| court can congress d0?" disconsolstely
asks the TriORLe. "It Ser Stor ingalls,
hss some good and effective plsn TO en-
force, equal voting rights 10 the south, he
| will deserve the lasting gratitude OF ell
Rspu Means, snd the Tribune Will en-
deavor TO see that :he author Of scheme
so valuable shall receive full popular sp-
probation. The Ipgslle doctrine is sound
and Just, but new can II be enforGeG?"
the prospect does seem very promis-
irg TO it, and !. allows It's rage ct the
helplessness 81 the party which mas been

ststes IS soon So returned to power to
disclose the disbolism of its maligRity
sgeinsJ the South in the following out
b1sI:
The sc URGE Of trouble Is that the blacks VIII
not fight for themselves, sud any coerciVe pow
or to enforce their rights must be useA from the
llsutside. White men or Iaoiar situated as the
southern negroes are would make the rivers OF
the South run red before they would submit to
the ursupations and wrongs which the blacks
passively endure. Oppressed by generations
OF slavery the negroes are non combatants
They Will not shoot and burn for their rights
They lack even the combativeness found In the
women of the races long accustomed 10 free
hom. The negroes will not fight
except IN asfociation with and under the
considerable portion Of white Republicans
ready to fight, If necessary, for fee ballot
and fair counFr the negroes can aud do vote
and have Their ballots fairly counted; but II
left 10 them selves they are helpless. even where
they are in vast me- pity. In what manner
can outside federal power be brought TO bear
to secure the rights of the negroes In states
where they csunor act IN association with OF
under the leadership OF white men: That lie
the great question, WIN Senator Ingalls, cast
light upon II:
Ihis is repSoech 10 the negroes Tor
not attempting 20 delGge the South win
blood, snd an ine:igs!Ion to them to
sdops such course IN the future. Amer.
