The Tribune ssvs of The Milan for /,

The Tribune says of the plan for
reconstruction agreed upon by the
committee: The exultation OF pro
rebels over the inability TO agree of
the jvint committee of fifteen, was
illusory. The committee has agreed
upon proposition which will to. day
be reported to both Houses and which
has received the votes Twelve to
three) of all but the Copperhead
members. We may therefore accept
and consider the Cuion party's plan
Of construction. Our own prefer
ence for a much shorter and simpler
programme Is well known. Univer-
sal amnesty, impartial suffrage--such
are its conditions, and the whole OF
them. f....
The World says the purpose of the
scheme would not have been more
apparent had it been labeled by the
Committee, "An infallible plan for
preventing the South from voting
in the next Presidential election. :
So transparent is its intent that II
fails entirely in respect to its second
airy object Of putting onus Of exclu
sion on the South itself. 1t is not
an honest proposition. 1t is not of.
fered with any expectation Of its &C.
ceptance, but with q deliberate de-
sign that it shall be rejected.
The Times says the scheme would
seem sweeping enough TO satisfy the
most exacting Radical. II could
hardly be more sweeping; indeed,
unless 1t provided for wholesale con-
fiscation and determination, or ban.
ishment of the Southern people As
a plan OF pacilcation and reconstruc-
tion, the whole thing is worse than q
burlesque.
1t might be styled farce were the
country not in the midst of very
serious drama. Its proper designa-
tion would be a plan to proloug in
definitely the exclusion of the South
from Congress, by imposing condi.
tions to which the Southern States
never will submit.
The Herald says the plan is ingen.
iously contrived. 1t is considerably
milder than anything heretofore en-
anating from the Committee, and
nearer the policy and the views
President johnson. II may be UNI
necessary in some things, super6uous
in others, and unfair IN its continued
exclusion of the Southern States, af.
ter having, on their part, fulfilled the
conditions of the Administration
charged with discretionary power
over the whole subject, but we have
only now to await the issue before
the Houses.

In the Senate Monday the bill to
provide for tho construction of n
bridge across the the Mississippi at
Quincy ILL.,, was passed. A resolu
tion was reported by the Committee
on the Judiciary calling the attention
Of the Senate to the subject of Presi
dental removals and appointments.
Quite long and animated discus.
sion followed, participated in by
Messrs. Trumbull, Sherman, John.
son, Howe, Henderson and others
Mr.. Davis was pretty sharply ques-
toned in relation to the suppression
of some recent remarks made in ref
erencc to the Presidential power over
Congress. In tho House three hours
were spent in discussing the River
and Harbov Appropriation bill. The
bill, which appropri9tes about three
and one half millions, was finally
passed. Bills were introduced by
Mr.. Garfield, giving charters to the
Cleveland, Mahoning & Connelsvillc
Railroads, their previous charters
having been taken away by the Penn
sylvania Legislature. In both Hous
es the report OF the Reconstruction
Committee, was read. 1t was made
the special order for Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week by the House
In the Senate Tuesday, petitions
we're presented from loyal citizens OF
West Virginia praying for the return
of the national troops, so that they
might be protected against the perse
cutions Of la'e rebels. The appoin.
ting power of the President was then
discussed at length, in which discus.
sion Messrs. Henderson and John
son took the prominent parts The
Senate then went into Executive ses
sion, and shortly afterward adjourned.
In the House, amendments to the re
port OF the Reconstruction Committee
we're submitted by: Mcssrs, Boutwell,

day was spent in the consideration
of the Niagara Ship Canal bill, and
the Freedmen's Bureau appropriation

do not indicate the dissolution Of the
Republican party. In twenty ak
counties heard from, the Republicans
have made q net gain OF sevetcen su-

A loyal Georgian just arrived al
Washington urges the Radicals in
Congress to withdraw all Federal
control, assistance OF restraint, from
any one of the late rebellious States
for thirty days, and leave reconstruct
ed citizens entirely to themselves; he
says the experiment will not only
satisfy Northern Conservatives, but
cause wall for succor to come NJ,
from the people. themselves. He
thinks that in less than ten days they
would implore to be saved from them
selves. He states that the entire
South is a unit in its determination
to force recognition of their war

Restoration Of sonthern Institutions.


The following is so thoroughly
characteristic OF what was of daily
occurrence in in the South before the
war, and up to the time when the
chivalry ceased killing each other, to
kill the hated Yankee, that it seems
as though there had been a full res
toration of the peculiar institutions
OF that country:--A tragedy, render
ed especially shocking by the attend.
ant circumstances, occurred last Sun
day, in Hawkins county, Tennessee.
Rev. r. NJ. Hickey was preaching the
funeral sermon of rebel SOLDIER
While the sermon was progressing,
two brothers named Walters, mani q.
tested disposition to disturb the
audience. Eldridge Hand, a citizen
of that neighborhood, demonstrated
with them, an angry quarrel ensued.
In the midst OF it, one of the brothers
fired a pistol at Hand, wounding him
severely in the thigh. Upon this.
Samuel Smith, soldier, killed Wal
tiers upon the spot The other broth
er then opened FIRE upon Smith
slightly wounding him.. Smith re
turned the fire, and the second broth
er fell mortally wounded.

plains that recently in that city "sev-
eral freedwomen, dressed in the la
test fashion, drew up their carriages
before some of our principal stores,
and called the clerks to bring certain
goods for their inspection"
What has the Index to complain
Of? Since the adoption of the con.
stltutional amendment this is a free
country, and the freodwomen hase
not only the rightto dress in the Ia
test fashion and go shopping in car
riages, but they have also the right
TO request clerks to bring out goods
for their inspection. The clerks can
do as they choose, we suppose, in the
matter Of bringing out goods, but un-
less Southern merchants are different
from their craft the world over, they
will trot out the goods if the freed.
women have the money to pay for
them. We would suggest to the
white ladies of Columbus, that, if
they do not like the idea of initiating
the frecdwomen, they dress in last
years fashion and go shr piping on
foot. This course will not only dis
tiuguish them from the fashionable
Philippians but will be a stroke of
economy pleasing and comfortable to
their husbands. I'll
