Change In tho PreAident'S Recon-
sIruction Policy.
NEW York, Oct. 3l.-The Herakds dis
patch says: The action of South Carolina
in electing Wade Hampton as Governor Of
that State and advocating the payment Of
the rebel var debt, and Of Mississippi in
refusing to take up and pass the constitu-
tional amendment abolishing slavery, is
believed to have effected the future policy
of the President concerning those States,
and to have endangered the admission Of
their delegates into The next Congress. Had
Mississippi carefully passed the amend
ment q general amnesty would have at
once been declared in favor of all rebels /;
but as it is, but few amnesties will in all
probability hereafter be granted to citizens
of that State. The action Of the Conven-
ton has not justified the Presidents con-
fdence, and the rigors of military govern
ment and martial law will DO the conse-
quence.
