A New Suggestion.

Senator PvGH. Of Alabama, has made an
original suggestion teuehiog tue negro pro-
blem. lie does not propose IL, but merely
throws It out a. n hint. It'll that, for in,
stauee, Virginia having $4,000 whites and
CSC, 900 negroes shall be 50 districted as thai
The negroes may eject. say tour congressman,
and the whitcs say six. This scheme would
inyoiye dividing the State into six districts
for the whites and also into four districts for
tbs negroes. IL would also involve separate
electious rs well as separate election-days. We
have said that this 10 g mere suggestion;
but We cannot say that we would expect il TO
De popular. II would draw The line clearly
bclween the whites and the blacks, and re-
suit probably In The election Of negroes to
Congress from all the southern States 10 the
number q representatives. TO which that race
would be entitled. II Is not impossible that
The operation q such a Law for electing con-
g~resAncn would thoroughly disgust the Re
~pubiicans In Congress and in the North with
negro suffrage.

The Landmark calls for a vote before the

the question. Whether an extra session OF

Ia discussing the situation At the South the
Pittsburgh Post remarks that the southern
problems "are in process OF settlement under
the influence Of time, and to NEEDLE and
muddle will only make things worse" True.
The Post then adds:
1--WE suppose there is one point under
food by all men, that the people OF the cot
ton states will prefer martial law and Oayonei
rule under 4 tersl authority rather than
such a burlcsque on government and civtizS-
ton a. The negro rule OF reconstruction tine
from 1866 10 1876"
The Post has certainly a yefy clear concep-
ton Of the horrors of negro ru'. And vet
we have to make the bitter admission that
there are white men In the South, native and
to the manner born, who affiliate with the
party that would reinstitute down here the
burlesque and saturnalia Of lS66-'16.
