NEGRO SUFFRAGE AND THE RADICALS.
CHICAGO, April 27.-The Washington Star of
last evening says 1t has transpired that the pro
ceedlngs of the recent sitting of the Reconstruc-
tion Committee were of character to seriously
alarm the radicals who have been disposed to
fight it out to the bitter end against the Presi-
dents policy. Report has il that Mr.. Boutwell,
of Massachusetts,, broke ground by opposing the
whole scheme of enforced negro suffrage and ur-
glng the adoption of plan of reconstruction ba-
sing the representation on such males above
twenty one years of age as are not voters and
leaving the whole question of suffrage to the
States. Mr.. Boutwell, alleged that two or three
of the New England States were all that could
be counted on to sustain enforced negro sufarge.
Mr.. Thad. Stevens opposed the proposition of
Mr. Btutwell with considerable heat, declaring
| that if the Committee commenced to recede they
might as well give the whole Hing up.
