which were to determine the future of
fho eburi, it'iebut natural there should
be a groat anxiety in the mind of the
public for the decision. To consider the

Pary to lalyrae the othern mitli anid
exalino into tb iealb.gotidition of the
people. Was their submission of a
charater to, necessitate - holding ,thm
under military.,rule,.or.. would the dis.
cipline of the civil law be sufficient.to
reeet all requiremeita,. werp questions to
be decided. "They wake questiol's to be
determined, not-forto-day, bittfor all time
to come. These by. necessity brought
th oPeqident face to fico with tlle
pobcy 6f pyniAliment nnd -patd6 -6f the
principal offinidrs.' To. decide the nice
point where the line should be drawn
beteen the, reqtuirements of justice on
the one hand, and conciliation on *the
other, wa no .asy task. In following
the cqnstitutioon na, tIe char, these
problems are, however, solved. Thus
in the question of negro suffrgge, while
the politicians "were taking gides and
Chief Justico Chase preparing to com.

it 'is said the President .pushed it ,rom
his table, .declarinig-it too early to con
Rider - that question, . The constitution
has inced th control of the. elective
franchiso in. the. respectivo States;. it
does not, therefore, come under the
jmnrindiction of the general government.
This view -lendo us to the conclusioni
that .the Pt.esidint will adhere to, his
deitiodratie 'i'doa in his reconotruetion
palloyf,- aidi' tb:xt the influence of the
re'dicnlt concenttation party of Sumner,
Chandler and Aerociatos is on the wnne.
'The adoption of apolicy to encourage
