rAK RECoSsrRucrIoN COMMITTEE.
Nix. EDITOR How well are the people
paid for their patience with the Reconstruc-
tion Committee We have waited willingly
1as
work, conscious that If 1t could devise no plan
for our release from these difficulties, none
could be found. We have trusted, alihoug h
told by our President that il was merely an
- irresponsible Central Directory" though
assured by many that it was another g Star
Chamber Council : or an Inquisition, though
reading daily that it was failure, that nt
plan could be matured, and that Congress,
would finally have to accept the President
policy. At last after months Of hard labol
and ulligent research into the condition Of The
South, bearing patiently all the abuse heapeo
upon i. by " the man at the other end of III,
avenue" and his adheIents, the committee
have reported just such a bill as seems to hav,
been demanded by the exigenci.s of the case
such as every loyal man must approve, anc
such as carries conviction, l venture 10 say
even to the President himself.
THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET ON THE REPORT.
The olamor raised in the Cabinet was great
and all except Harlan Speed being absent
Expressed their disapprobation OF the Re
port, and their firm adherence to the policy
of the President. We had hoped that th,
President, perceIving that the scheme thu,
proposed was the most gust and right, coult
cheerfully adhere thereto, and thus fulfil hl
promiee that his pol cy was only an experi
ment to which he was not committed, anc
which could be changed at any time by Con
gress.
But We have all learned that promises ar,
only made by him to suit his own convenience
and to be kept only as long as he receives ben
eft sherefrom. We have heard him declare
that traitors should be punished, apd seer
him striving to release the very chietest 0
them We have heard him say that Treason
was u crime, and yet seen him seeking TO gair
the admittance to Congress of the creates
criminals on the face of the earth and shu,
we might mention Inconsistency after incon
consistency, were they not weli-known to all
i Of course you have ere this received Ia,
Report and presented il to your readers. Il
is to BE- hoped that every one viii take i: int
their earnest consideration and contrast /
with the Presidents policy. The one provide,
for loyal mans government, the other for d
'ohtfe mans, with increased power to rebels
the one guarantees freedom aud civil rights t.
all, the other Expresses loyal white men ano
refuses the comnlonest civil rights 60 loya
blacks; the one Furnishes only loo lenientiy
the leading rebels, the other les all go free.
REPORT WILL PROBABLY BE ADOPTED
1t is probable that some slight amendment,
will be made to the bill, but that it will pas.
in nearly the same form as re rorted by the
committee. 1t would be strange indeed, if III
the multitude of different opinions and views
of the subjec, which are presented in Congress
there should be no changes demanded, and a
matter of graduation if any similar measure
could be agreed on by any very large majority
