TIE RECONSTRUCTION Committee
Have reported. The evidence goes to
show that many Of the States are unit
to take care of themselves in the Union
Texas and some others are not Suodueo,
and will need q military force several
years to protect life and property Ten
uessee is fit for admission; also, prooa'
bly, Arkansas. The excitement over
the veto has subsidized, and even Ihad.
Stevens will vote for the admission OF
Tennessee, because, he said, "if he
should oppose it, his action would be
construed as hostility 10 the President"
The Presidents policy will be concrrred
in us far as possible by Congress- Inc
Reconstruction Committee have report
cd 10 favor of tho admission OF
TENNESSEE,
With the provisions in her Constitution
abolishng slavery, repuaiatins the rebel
debt and compensation for slaves, aud
excluding rcLcIS from hoI''"g o6Icc o"d
rotiag. She will probably be admitted
this week. These conditions, together
with that loyalty on the part OF the
representatives sent to Congress, will be
the basis upon which the States will be
admitted; and these are substantially
the President, policy. The copper.
heads and rebels endorsed his veto, and
we're in hopes Of alternating johnson
from the Union party; but they have
Gailcd. His want OF dignity in that un'
fortunate speech will be overlooked by
Union men ; and if no will but have
pQiitncc, Congress will reconstruct the
Southern States as fast as safety to all
their citizens and tho Union will admit.

land warrants from GOO acres down.
The Committee Ways and Means pro.
pose q tax on cotton of 8 per cent, and
the same on income, over 81 900. The
