OPINIONS OF THE Press ON THE REPoRT.-A New
York dispatch of the 30th has the suboned extracts
of the opinions of the press in regard to the report
of the reconstruction committee
The Tribune says of the plan for reconstruction
agreed upon by the committee the exutation OF pro-
Conederates the inability to agree OF the JOINT
committee of fifteen proved ill-timed. The commit
tee by twelve against three have agreed TO PROPOSE
ton to be reported to-day
1t is not anticipated that any material amendment
will be carried and the States will be invoked to con-
vene their legislatures to secure its adoption by all
loyal States thus stimulating concurrent action by
those States recently in rebellion.
Our views, says the Tribune, are well knoWn-unl-
versa amnesty, impartial suffrage
The Herald says the plan is ingeniously contrlyed
and considerably milder and nearer the views and poll
cy of the president than anything heretofore emana
ting from the committee. 1t may be unnecessary IN
some things superfuous in Others and unfair IN its
continued exclusion of the southern States after their
ful6llment of the conditions of the administration.
We now await the issue before the houses.
The Times says the scheme would seem sweeping
enough to satisfy the most exacting radical as plan
of pacifcation and reconstruction Inc whole thlnS
might be styled a farce.
The World says the purpose of the scheme would
not have been more apparent if it had been labelled an
nalibe plan for preventing the south from voting IN
the next presidential election 1t is an honest propo-
sition and not offered with any expectation OF It's
be rejected.
The Tribune special says that after four months Of
most searching investigation and dispassionate dis
cussion among the members of the committee, it is
believed that the plan will meet with the entire sane
ton of all shades of opinion No Union man OF
either house has expressed any dissent and the friends
of the president give that if congress car
ries out the scheme in good faith it viii receive his
approval and cooperation.
1t is stated here that neither OF the president
organs will commit themselves upon the proposition
tomorrow.
Thad Stevens ayoHs his readiness to acquiesce ii
! the measure.
The lieutenant general expresses his approval of it
The Times Washington special says many Unior
members assert their belief that the entire reconstruc
ton proposition be carried through both houses by
! two-thirds vote.
+ Common attribute the plan to Roscoe, Conk
| ling and Terry. Both wings of the party are out o
humor with the result but accept it as the best tina
can be obtained.

A CONVERTED RADIcAL-A. Washington special t.

CONVERTED RADIcAL.-A Washington special to
the New York Herald say:
F. w. Kellogg, ex-congressman from Michigan,
Chandeliers right hand man. now collector of internal
revenue for the Mobile district of Alabama heretofore
counted radical of the radicals, arrived here few
DAYS since from his temporary southern home with
considerably modified ideas. He insists that con-
cress must modify the test OATH that none of the
Southern appointees can be confirmed. Secretary
MeCulloch sent him to the house to-day to express his
convictions to certain members who were opposing
the notifications asked for. Kellogg met with rather
cold RECEPTION from bis former friends, who charged
him with having turned copperhcad. He replied by
telling them they all pack OF insane Tools and
should be sent to a madhouse. Things is working.

JACK HAMILroN-We find the following in relation
to governor Hamilton of Texas going the rounds and
we give it to our reader not vouchng for its truth
fulness:
Governor Hamilton is managing affairs in Texas
pretty much as Brownow manages them IN Tennessee.
The Nashville Union and American says OF BIN: I'VE
know Jack Hamilton well. He started in Alabama as
A merchants clerk-afterwads went north and pur-
chased stock of goods on a credt-sold them, put
the money in his pocket-disappeared between two
DAYS and next turned up larger in Texas, where,
through course of years. he gained much more rePu-
taon as an unprincpled pettifogger than as jurst.
In other words, he universally held, wherever
known by the bar Of Texas knave, and was
watched and treated as such. His card now is to rule
Texas. OF make it a field of perpetual strife"

LIrE'-Life is an enigma. We are
here to day-all activity and hustle, and
Tomorrow We are gone. We die, but the
world moves on as when we were actors
on the stage. AS we drop away, others
take our place and we are scarcely missed.
Thus, since the creation, man breathes,
moves. and then dies. If there " ere not n
