Southern Representation.

Referring TO the fact that louisiana,
Mississippi. and South Carolina have dis
franchised a large number Of their voters
and that 1.-TWO other States, Alabama
and North Carolina. are soon 10 restrict
their suffrage in ike manner" the New
York Sun saws that this INTRODUCES a
novel question OF very grave importance
which must be brought into prominence
when the new apportlOnment of presi-
Dental electors and Of representatives IN
Congress. under the enumeration OF the
census OF next year comes up for serious
consideration" 1t is glad TO observe,
accordingly that there is a disposition
among fair men and newspapers in the
South to look upon this matter with
calmness. They deem the restriction or
negro suffrage absolutely requisite TO
the preservation Of their civilization, ana
TO gain the boon Of white domination IN
their States they seem willing, II necessa-
~. TO sacrifice some OF their present pro-
portionate share in the National Govern
ment."
The sun continues:
"Of course. ii is not tolerable that a
vote in one part Of the Union should
have twice or even four times the power
in national politics OF a vote IN another
part. Obviously, the new situation de-
mands some new adjustment of the po-
lltical equilibrium under the provisions
of the Constitution, and if the subject Is
approached in fair and reasonable
spirit there need be no virulent con-
troversy over it. The election OF rep
! resentatives in Congress from South
| Carolina or any other State concerns
the welfare OF New York no less than
| the election OF congressman immediate
! Nv representative Of Itself and, or
course IL is the same, with the electors
for President. 1t IS not a local matter
of state concern only. but involves the
interest Of the whole Union; for 10
every part it is of vital Importance
that the distribution of the political power
! Shall be logical and equitable. without
| discrimination in favor Of any"
This is a fair statement of the case
and we cannot deny the Justice OF this
contention. However. representation II
| Congress is based not upon voting
strength but upon population, and II Is
not quite clear how. under the Constitu
ton. the South is TO be deprived or any

Rheumatism is peculiar acid con,
