/ 81 sfructi0n.
| washington. April Z.-The meeting and &C
ton of the New York Congressional delegation
last evening, with reference to the question o
reconstruction. has been the subject Of much com
ment to-day, and has created considerable sur
| prise among the extreme men who counted on thu
majority of that delegation sure to favor foreeC
negro suffrage in any event. The following is tn,
substance Of .ifc proposition, which was received
with the greatest favor By the meeting: First.
| constitutional amendment, basing representation
upon population, and providing that whenever
any State denies suffrage to any class of citizen!
of the United States, for any reason except fol
| participation in rebellion, such disfranchsed
class or portion shall be deducted from the bash
Of representation.
Second. A constitutional amendment prohibit
ing the payment Of the rebel debt and providing
| that there shall never becompensation for eman
| eipated slaves.
Third. As part of the plan of restoration it j:
proposed that whenever these amendments be
ratified by a sufficient number of States to make
them part of the Constitution. then each of the
rebellious States shall be entitled to the admis-
sion of lite Representatives on their taking the re-
quired oath of Office.
forever debarred from holding Office under the
United States Government; the President, Vice
President, heads of Departments, members OF
Congress, Judges of the Supreme Court of the
Confederate States, their representatives at for
egn courts, Gll persons who left official positions
under the United States Government to aid in the
rebellion; all who served in the rebel army above
the rank Of Colonel in the navy above the rank
of master; and all persons guilty of treating ouI
prisoners contrary to the rules of war.
This proposition was not formally adopted, but
ii was agreed that il should be presented to the
Reconstruction Committee as that which would
be generally acceptable to the New York delega-
tion. The question Of the negro suffrage condition
either Immediate or remote, was received with
very little favor. The question Ofthe immediate
admission of Tennessee was not discussed, but
such members as expressed themselves at all were
decidedly in favor of it. 1t is understood that
three of the most prominent members of the Re-
construction Committee will urge this position
viz: Senator Harris and Representatives Conk-
ling and Boutwell,.
AttOrney-General Speed.
Acknowledgement Speed has gone West to re-
cruit his health, which is somewhat impaired BY
close and unremitting application to business
The determination of the time and place of trial
of JEFF Davis will not be made until Mr. Speed 5
return.
Government Finances.
In all probability, unless something occur
which is not now anticipated by the Administra-
ton, the Secretary of the Treasury believing
that the time has come when the Government
should no longer be borrower of money. to-
day ordered the Assistant United States Treasu-
rer to discontinue the reception of deposits for
temporary loans.
Suffrage i'm the District of Columbia.
The Senate will take up the Universal suffrage
bill for the District of Columbia next week So
say several Republicans.

Senator Morgan, being on the Committee on
Commerce, when the case of Mr.. Smythe came up
for action, it was referred to Governor Morgan as
the Senator from New York. 1t is customary to
report back cases after one weeks delay and a
report of the case may be expected by the Com
mittee to-day; but nothing was said by Senator
Morgan, and as there is no meeting of the COM
mittee until next Thursday, no action will be had
upon the case during the interim. 1t is supposed
that no objection Of moment will be made to his
confirmation.
JeG. Davis TriaI----The Government
Counsel.
Messrs. East Clifford and Rousseau have been
retained by the Government for the trial of jeff
Davis. They were here yesterday. arranging the
case, though the time and place of trial have not
been definitely settled.
The Admission of Colorado.
The would-be Senators from Colorado were
upon the floor of the House to-day, urging the
of that Territory among the members, but
the prospect is not as good as its friends could
wish. Many Republicans express determine
ton to oppose it-some for the same reason that
Mr. Sumner did and others because it is certain
to provoke another vetO which will still further
ALLEVIATE the President and Congress; and still
others for the very excellent reason that TO give
Colorado with 5000 inhabitants the same rep
resentation in the Senate as the great State of
New York, is manifestly unjust and unjustifable
without any reasonable grounds whatever.
Gen. Grants Visit to Richmond.
Gen. Grants visit to Richmond was marked
with many pleasing incidents and gratifying re-
suits. People fOcked to see him in large numbers
from curiosity. no doubt, but during his stay he
was called upon respectfully by such persons as
Robert Ould, eX-rebel commissioner for exchange
of prisoners. Gen. Joseph Anderson, of the Tired
egar Iron Works, Mayor Mayo, Gems. Wickham
and Henningsen, Judge Lyons and Meredith
Hill. Carter. Walter, Harrison, and many other
influential citizens. The ladies also called upon
Mrs. Grant freely, and every one who called man
ifeSted becoming feeling and sentiments. The
railroad company placed special car at his dis
posal. The SpottswOed Hotel assigned him large
suite of rooms. The Ballard House offered to do
the same. and every one We'd to contribute to his
comfort and pleasure. lie dined once with Gen.
Turner, temporarily commanding, visited Fort
Harrison and other points of interest and re-
turned well pleased with his visit.
