h Is THE DIFFERENCE ?

From Stewards psry latest apeech, de.
livered in the Senate on May oath, on the
last Reconstruction Constitutional amend
ments that went up from the House Of
Representatives, we copy:
"The Presidents plan Of reconstruction
was unsatisfactory, because it ignored the
rights and excluded from constitutional
liberty four million loyal citizens guilty
Of no offence but fidelity to the Govern
ment, and at the same time deprived the
friends Of the Union Of the cooperation Of
these loyal citizens in maintaining the in.
tegrity Of the Constitution, the honor Of
our brave soldiers, and the financial bur-
dens OF the war; because It placed the
State Governments Of the South in the
hands Of the very men who plunged the
country into war for secession and the
extention Of slavery, and because it ad-
mitted into Congress an increased repre-.
sentatation Of the disloyal elements OF the
rebellion"
There is not a predominance Of truth in
any one Of these statements; and, moreover,
we have q long speech of Williams, de.
livered in January or February last, zen.
dorsing the Presidents policy,"-that's
the name of the pamphlet, as the Senator
himself wrote it. But here: observe the
remarks quoted above, and mind that he is
about to speak Of the plan of the Recon.
struction Committee, that assembled from
the House q few weeks ago, and then
note the following from an intensely Rad
ical paper. the Chicago Tribune:
"But the great defect in the Presidents
plan is equally great. because wholly un-
touched. in that Of Congress. It excludes
from political rights four millions Of citi-
Gems. This error Is fundamental and fatal.
The Congressional plan thus adopted by
the House sanctions the essential errors OF
the Presidents policy, that q State should
have a RICH: to deny the elective franchise
to its adult male citizens not guilty OF q
crime, /. o., to Its freedmen, and that no
re. organization CT the State Governments
Of the South is necessary"
Here is William criticising, or attempt
ing to criticise, the Presidents policy, with
q Congressional plan before him which no
less a journal than the Chicago Tribune
denounces in parallel terms: The Tribune,
article, from which we quote, appeared an
May 18th; Stewart spoke as above on
May Oath. After Stewards speech-which
was mostly dressed in mourning text over
his repudiated propositions-The United
States Senate proceeded to knock off the
radical" corners that remained. William,
you won't do for to go and abuse the
President by allegations against his plan,
precisely such as the ADLER portion Of the
radical" press have urged against tht
Congressional plan, and that before you
spoke.
William, can you imagine how your
talk, this session, will look between par
allel barss Then don't denounce Andy
any more, in the exact language which
Gov. Bross describes and condemns tn,
plan that you vote for. Pray don't!

SAN BowLss must have been writing
without the fear Of Radical" papers
this side of the Rocky Mountains, when
he said:
There are some people so stupid that
they cannot conceive it possible to agree
with Congress in some things, and with
the President in others, without ineonsist-
ency. Upon such brainless automatons
we waste no words. The duty Of men Of
sense and patriotism at this juncture is to
mediate between President and Congress,
and exercise the evil spirits from both, II
that be possible.-SprinGfsA Rspl6hea".

Tho Richmond 7ines publishes the fol-
lowing brief communication from the pen of
German, who. as an officer in Piokctt's
Division, served gallantly under the Cons
fcdorate banner during tho luto var:
PLEASANT Grove, LUENBuRa Co., VA,.
September 7, 1866.
Mr.. Enron: notice thorc is &C great
effort being made to Introduce German In.
horers into this State for agricultural pur-
poses. Allow me to mako q few sugges.
tions, to which would specially call the
farmers attention, rs thcr adoption will be
necessary ere they can induce these laborc.s
to rcmnin with them any length of time. I
make these suggestions not only because I
am myself German and know my country-
mems likes and dislikcs, but also because [
have already oonvorsed with some of these
laborcrs, who were again returning to tho
city, not hiking the country, for the follow
ing reasons;
First. They could not labor and cat corr
bread ; and, second, thoy were lodged II
cabins wore rain, wind and weather haG IS
free access as If they were sheltered by q
moro she'd. II will be.hard to pursuade a, ,
of my countrymen to remain or suoh condi-
tions. Few, but Southern farmors, ape
fond Of corn bread; a foreigner will scarcely
over cat It If ho can do better; he can
finds his greatest enjoyment at his, meals 4;
and whilst ho is not choice In his food,
broad, above all things, he wants to. his
liking. Germans are particularly fond of
ryo bread; allow these laborers TO cult
yato enough ryo to dothem for bread during
| hc year, and one great obstacle will have
been overcome in rcconciling them to the
country, AS TO shelter, thoy must havc
cabins whero they arc secure from bad
weather, for no mat.or.h .how poor Germans
may have becn, they were always used to
comfortable shelter WHOM resting fromla

There is another Item to which I would
call your attention. Tho dermans arc

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-We hope
the. following predictions of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer may prove correct {;
but doubt it:
CA gain Of twenty-five members of
Congress will make majority in the
next House against the Jacobins.
They will be secured. Two will be
gained in Connecticut, seven or eight
in New York, one in New Jersey, six
in Pennsylvania, two or three in Mary
land, Ohio will increase her repre-
sentation nine or ten at least, and In
diana will add three or four to the
list. In Kcntucy, we shall gain two
perhaps three. Illinois is booked
for four or five, y isconsin for two and
Michigan for two. In Missouri, there
will be- a gain Of five or six, This
makes forty-6ve, or twenty more than
is required. The House, under this
computation, would stand: Present
anti Jacobins, 45; to elect MS. gains,
45; Southern excluded members, so.

"This would leave the Jacobins lOl
members, who would be in glorious
minority of SO. A majority against
them in the next House, according to
tho present aspect of affairs, is o cer-

The Situation.

Tho following remarks on political; affairs
arc from the Richmond Times
The patriotic labors of the late "Nation-
al Convcntion," which met in Phiadcl ;,hia,
have, VIC fear, been attended With no good
results. A truce was patched up between
the Northern Democracy and tho moderate
Republicans, but it was temporary, hollow
and insecure, and has bcen followed by
open hostilities between tho late allies
Tho pledges 70 support the Presidents poll
cy Of reconstruction, which. were given by
Raymond and Weed as tho accredited repre-
scutatiyes Of tho conservative Republicans,
have already been broken. .
Tho Maine and Vormont elections utterly
dcmorallzcd tho authcr Of the address OF
the Philadelphia Convention, and, in iinita-
ton Of Saturn, he is dcyouring his own OIL
spring. Indeed, the coalition ofNouhern
parties, .: from which such happy results
wcre!Rnticipnlcd, hus fallen to pieces, and
those who were, six weeks ago, most vocilc.
rous in Advocating tbs policy Of tho Prcsi.
dent arc now asserting it, and advocating
the adoption OF the Congressional amend
mcnt. The New York Xeraid, Tines and
Post have already gonc over, bag and bag-
goge, to the enemy, and thousands of tinsc-
serving dcmagogucs are in mo.iom, or husiiy
packing up and preparing to go over. A
defeat to the conservatives, in Pennsylva-
nn, would give the finishing blew to the
Conservative party. The Heratd and the
Times now boldly affirm that the President
will very soon succumb to the teachings OF
| the late Northern elections, and issue a
proclamation advising the Southern States
to adopt tho constitutional umcnlmcnt,
| which he has devoted 50 much tine in OPP
| posing. .#
| These demonstrations have greatly alarm.
| cl the radicals, who fear that .hc adoption
| ofthJ amendment will strip them of all
! pretcxls for further sectional legislation.
|>As they arc ill-omcncd birds that dcligh,
only in stormy weather, many Of them have
already boldly proclaimed tIpt even if the
| Southern States shall u base themselves Ia
tho earth and eloptthc amendment, they
| shall not profit by their humility aud dirt
eating. Tho leading organ Of that party
now declares that mo leading Republican
in Congress means to admit the ten waiting
States simply on the adoption Of tho consti
tulional amondmcnt, un il tho robol States
consent to come back upon the basis of equa
political rights to all loyal citizens" If
therefore, there is any Southern man who
| believes that tho adoption Of tho amendment
| viii bring peace aud restoration, he is very
| much mistaken. R

Texas REJECTS THE AMENDMENT.
The Texas Legislature, through the
action Of the Committee M Federal
Relations, has respectfully returned
to the Government the constitutional
amendment, declining it's further con-
sidcration- The ground assigned is
thus expressed in tho report
Article thirteen, sections one and
two, have the honor to report rs fol-
lows:
sHThc people of Texas in Convention
assembled, have already, by their or
dinancc, acknowledged the supremacy
of the Constitution of the United
Statos: in which Constitution the
abovenamed article thirteen is embrac-
ed, as part of the same the courts Of
law so hold and administer said article
thirteen.
Tho Legislature has no authority in
this matter; any action on the same
would be surplusage, if not intrusive.
The committee, therefore, ask to be
excused from the further consideration
of the same; and they herewith res
pcctfully return tho communication Of
the Honorable tho Secretary Of the
Unitod States.

Of blood and dissolution, and said:

tend itself over the length and breadth
