WASHINGTON, April 29-The Joint committee
on reconstruction have at last agreed upon plan,
and will report tomorrow to both Houses a pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution, with two
bills to carry into effect it's guarantees The pro-
positions made by the committee will without
doubt be endorsed by their associates in Congress-
but are of such character tn t it will be impos-
sible for the South to accept them which is
precisely what the Radicals want They have
no intention that the South shall be represented
IN the national Congress unless she sends mem
bers in full accord with them and who will
at once fall into the party traces under the
lead of Stevens, Sumner IL Co. All the
wsest and best men of the South are to be forever
excluded from holding office men like Alexander
IL. Stephens who, with proper spirit on the part
of the North to ignore the past and concilate diff
ference, could do SO much to re- unite the bonds Of
brotherhood now wide asunder and, then all
who adhered to the cause of the South are to be
excluded from voting for members of Congress-
and Presidential electors until July 1870 Now,
with such provision this, where are the voters
to come from if the South does not confer suffrage
upon her ignorant negroes The committee wei
know that rightfully wrongfulIy, the great
mass OF the Southern people cast their fortunes in
with the cause for which much was sacrificed
and yet they propose this wholesale dsfranchisc-
ment of a heretofore franchised people. And as
to the blacks, it is known that they are as uncor
planning and faithfully worked in supporting tbc
rebellion In their way as any others, as II,no os
they were not, by the force of circumstap coe Trl
vented from doing SO by being brought within fine
area of the extending Federal lines. This uonl.
will probably be the most interesting and nxctin%
since the converting of Congress, as the debate ON
the plan OF the model re-construc ronsts will take
VIDE and extended range. Tb e three Democrat

kept away from New York and other ports until
such time as it begins to rage with violence in
Northern Germany, England, and Ireland. When
all the ships that to those ports of the Uni

cholera they cannot escape but that disease is as
yet infrequent in the ports with which our cities
have mosttrade, they ought to escape visitation
for several months, if not until another year. The
Boards of Health will undoubtedly have an album

The Chicago Republican thus sketches
the secret history of President Johhson's
tortuous course since he was made Chief
Magistrate by Booths bullet:
An absurd sort of vacillation forms the
groundwork of President Johnson's CHAR
acter, and this has been displayed most
remarkably in his winding and turning,
and backing and filing, upon the great
question Of what party he should belong
to. When he found that his first coouet-
ting with the rebels last summer was
unanimously disapproved by the Repub-
licans, he made up his mind 10 20 over 10
the Democrats, and opened negotiations
for the purpose with the leaders Of that
party in New York. This plan, hewever.
was Abandoned after their defeat in the
election Of last fall; and then it was de-
terminei to Johnsonize The Republican
party, and stay with 1t. But after the
meeting of Congress had proved that this
I couldn't be done, the plan of setting up =
new party was conceived, and arrange
ments for that purpose were set on foot.
This scheme lasted till the speech OF
February 22d, when it was abandoned
under tie universal scorn and disgust
which that performance awakened. The
Democratic project was now taken Bp
again, and Montgomery Blair and Dean
Richmond vera selected to engineer the
transfer Of the President 10 that organi-
zstion, The Connecticut election and the
passage of the Civil Rights bin ended
that enterprise, and left Blair snd Rich
mond in a very disagrecable position, 4;
contractors who were lot able to deliver
The scheme Of q third party Is now on the
carpet again, and, for the moment c-ea:
hopes are entertained respecting il.

An american rast woman in Paris

AZ <AlueFiedA : asst Fz1tstitG IA Ett-ASs
A New York correspondent Of the
Rochester Union says:
~ curious finale to the career Of a worry
fast and not very prudent fne lady in
Paris, was mentioned tho other day by q
lady recently Irom that metropolis OF
worldly enjoyment. Mrs. NJ had run
through all that was gay and new, in
New York, and in Paris had given our
late Minister, Mr. Dayton, not a little
| trouble by frequent applications for
pecuniary aid. Changing her lodgings,
she found in q bureau drawer of her new
residence some shares in 4 stock high in
value. She probably knew OF the exist
ence of a law in Paris making It a penal
offence, punishable with imprisonment, OF
the galley, to use anything found, not
having delivered it TO the police that the
owner might be discovered. Mrs. N
unscrupulously negotiated the shares, real
iZIng 10000 francs. This sum supplied
her ezuavagant wants for four months,
and was spent in dinners, drives, and
gayety generally. The beautiful queen OF
pleasure procured also many new dresses
and some iewelry. The money was ex-
hausted, when the loser Of the stock by
accident discovered who had negotiated
the shares. He demanded reimbursement;
the lady denied all knowledge of the trans
action. But the fraud was proved she
was tried and sentenced to St. Lszare for
six months. Her besUtiful hair was shaven
and she was put to hard work, her deli
cate hands having never before condc-
scended TO DO more than dirt q fan. Even
in the coarse convicts dress and cap, her
beauty was Undeniable, and, set of BY a
native coquetry, had It's wonted magical
influence On the officials, from whom she
won many indulgences denied TO other
prisoners. Many Americans in Paris
visited her from curiosity while 'in du-
rance vile. She served her time ou5and
is now perhaps again enslaving hearts by
the power Of her unriyalled charms She
was quite celebrated some years since in
Philadelphia, where she resided most Of
her marr.ed life; aftarwsId she lived IN
New York, out1oing even the fastest
danes, and dazzling many admirers.

An illustration Of civilization in Georgis
is afforded by the following Incident,
which transpired week or two since in
the northern part of the State. -Four ne
groes were arrested for some trihing
offence and tied together. Two white
men rode up-one fred and killed one OF
the negroes, then ripped open his abdo-
men, and, his bowels protruding, hitched
them to the ramrod Of his gun and pulled
them out from the body Of the dying ne
gro. These men are chivGlric and recon
structed Southern gentlemen, and it is an
outrage That they are kept out Of the
Union.
