Report of tire Reconstruction
Committee.

The final report of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee, which was yesterday
submitted to the Senate by Mr.. Fes-
senden, and which we print this morn
ing in full, will command the undivi-
ded attention of the country. The
great question Of the present year is
Reconstruction. To. secure Recon
struction on the basis Of justice and
freedom is the task which the party
that conquered in the campaigns Of
1860 and 1864 has now to perform.
The report of the Reconstruction
Committee is the complete, and, we
may say, the official declaration of
the principles which the Republican
party is bound to carry through, and
in the advocacy of which, we fell con-
tident, the whole party will soon be a
unit.
The report begins with adverting
briefly to the course the Committee
found it necessary to adopt. They
had been directed by resolution Of
Congress to inquire into the condi-
tion of the Confederate States, and
report whether they were entitled to
representation in Congress. The
former of these points admitted ofno
dispute. The South was in state
of utter exhaustation. Congress hav-
ing failed to provide for the contin-
gency, the duty of the President was
obvious. He had no power except
to execute the laws Of the land and
to establish, as far as he could, sys-
tenn of government. ALI his acts
were those of a military commander,
but no authority was given him by
the law over the subject of recon-
struction.
On the meeting of Congress in De-
cember, the President officially an
nounced the organization of local
Governments, and urged the read
mission Of the late Rebel States
With regard to this recommendation,
Congress must either have acted
blindly upon the opinion Of the Pres
ident, or proceed to collect for itself
the necessary information. The lat
ter course was chosen. Its FIRST duty
was to call upon the President for
the information in his possession as
to what had been done. The infor-
nation, which was not communicated
until six weeks after the Committee
had beeu in actual session, appeared
to the Republican members of the
Committee incomplete and unsatisfac-
tory. d UHasr these eixen8sstanees,a ,aito

us that the resolution referred to, was re,
ported by the Committee, aud passed
without a-dissenting voice. We make
this statement, notin the interest of any
candidate, but in the interest of truth, at
the request Of the Gazetts. We hope it
will be liberal enough to publish the above
for the information of its readers as
reply to very groundless insinuatien.

maintained itself not by virtue ofits own
strength or even of its traditional merits,
put because there as yet had appeared in
.he political field ne other party that had
'he conscience to take up and avow and
prac,lse the iiie-inspiring principle which
tne Democrati' party had surrendered. y

TERRIBLE AcCIDENT.-Th following
is an account of terrible accident that
happened at Washingtonville, Orange
county, N. T., last Saturday -
A Mrs. Willard went into mill to see
her husband, when her clothing caught in
some machinery and she was dragged into
the works and one of her legs severed
from her body. Her husband, hearing
her cries, rushed to her assistance, and in
attempting to extricate her, got his arm
caught in the machinery, where it was
horribly crushed, leaving it attached to
his shoulder by a small piece of flesh only.
Using his other hand, Mr.. Willard drew
his knife from his pocket, and opening the
blade with his teeth. cut the remaining
piece of flesh that held the injured arm !;
and after thus freeing himself, raised his
wife on his arm and carried her down
stairs, where both fell exhausted. Medical
aid was summoned and they were properly
taken care of. Both are in a critical con-
dition, and it is thought Mrs. Willard will
die.
