reconstruction.

NV YoRK, April 27.-The Times special
says: The meeting and action of the New
York Congressional delegation last evening,
with reference to the question Of reconstrUc-
/ ton, has been the subject of Llueh comment
to-day, and has created considerable sur
prise among the extreme men who counted
on the msiOrity of that delegation as sure TO
favor forced negro suffrage in any event.
The following is the substance Of the prop
osition which was received with the greatest
favor by the meeting:
lst. a Constitutional amendment basing
representation upon population, and provid-
ing that whenever any state denies suffrage
to any class Of citizens of the United States
for any reason except for participation in
the rebellion, such DISTINGUISHED class or
portion shall be deducted from the basis Of
representation.
Cd. 4 Constitutional amendment provid-
ing for the payment of the rebel debt, and
providing that there shall never be COM
pensation for emancipated slaves.
Sd. AS a part Of the plan Of restoration, 1t
is proposed that whenever these amend
ments are enacted by a sufficient number
Of states to make them a part Of the Consti-
tuition, then each of the rebellious states
shall be entitled 10 the admission of its
representatives on their taking the required
oath Of Office.
4th. The following classes Of persons TO
be forever debarred from holding Office IN
der the United States Government: The
President and Vice President, heads of De-
partnents, members Of Congress, and
Judges of the Supreme Court of the Confed-
crate States, their representatives at foreign
courts, and all persons who left official pc
sitions under the United States Government
to aid in the rebellion all who served in
the rebel army above the rank of Colonel,
or in the navy above the rank Of Master
all persons guilty Of treating our prisoners
contrary to the rules Of war.
This proposition was not formally adopted,
but it was agreed that It should be present.
ed to the Reconstruction Committee, as it
would be generally acceptable to the New
York delegation.
The question of a negro suffrage oondi-
ton, either immediate or remote, was re-
ceived with very little favor.
The question Of the immediate admission
of Tennessee was not discussed, but such
members as have expressed themselves at
all, were decidedly in favor of it. 1t is un-
that three of the most prominent
members Of the Reconstructicn Committee
will urge this proposition, viz: Senator
Harris, and Representatives Conkling and
Boutwell,.

Desperate Encounter With a
IRON the Eau Glare (wis,) FREQ PrGss,l

IRON inc Eau VAre \''n'J rASo AiS".I
Ono of the most daring encounters in
cident to hunting life-lhough fortunately
resulting in nothing serious-that we
have heard for a long time, occurred In
tho vicinity of Mudcresk n day last
week. Nj. Ed. Nichols, formerly Of this
place, started out one morning with his
dog through q piece Of woods near his
farm. Scarcely had be entered the for
est, over a mile from his habitation, when
suddenly up sprang q lare buck from his
concealment, aud confronting him face
to face for an instant made a fearful dash
at him. Mr.. Nichols, though having no
weapon of defense, never once thought OF
retreating, but firmly grasped one Of the
animals gigantic horns, while the dog
took hold Of his throat. For a while the
struggle between the three was most fear.
ful-one moment the man had the deer
down, but the deer possessed Of that dcx-
terity and nimbleness peculiar to them,
sprang to his feet again and again, using
all his endeavors in twirling his antagcn'
list around. Mr.. N. dared not lose biz
hold, and the only hope to save his lift
was by encouraging the dog, which mean
while hung on to the bucks throat witt
canine tenacity. To worry the buck t
exhaustion, with the assistance of The dog
was the only means Of conquering his ad
versary, and after a long and tiresom'
struggle was finally successful, when h
went and got a club and knocked the an
imal in the head. AT the end of tn
combat, Mr.. Nichols clothing was en-
tirely torn from him. He returned HON
through by-wa5s and called Justify to hi
wife to furnish him clothing, and the
returning, be brought his venison hom'
which after being dressed, weighed owe
200 pounds. When We take iuto consid
Grafton the. fact Mr.. N. is a very sma
man, weighing about 100 pounds, TIL
was a courageous undertaking, and cour
ageously did he meet it.

The following is vouched for as true

A person applied for a room in a Broad.
way hotel an evening or two since, was
shown into a small chamber IN the htth
story Late an night when all the guests
were supposed to DO asleep, he, clSmbered
out Of his window, and stood with hisfeet
on the stone coping Of the window ad-
joining, and carefully opening the win
dow Of the room on a line with his own,
softly lifted himself into the apartment.
Here herobbed the occupant of his watch
aud pocket-book. From this room ne
proceeded to the next and 50 on until ne
had entered six rooms. The seventh
room was occupied by a lady, who was
awake, and seeing tho figure Of a man
about entering her window, she gave a
cry Of terror. At that he hastily retreat
ed. The lady sprang from her bed, open
ed her door and gave an alarm. The

adjoining chambers This required Somt

were successfully entered no clue to thu
whereabouts Of thesrobber could be dis
covered.
But the occupants lof several OF tn
rooms found they had been robbed. On
man found his pockek botk emptied o
money, but a check in pne Of the apart

check was claimed by another Of the viz

ried the check from the pocket book {

with the idea Of exciting suspicion towar

Brimstone Oratory.

Reverend Colonel C~hivipgtou, Of Sand

oil Bluff, Iowa. The following is given
as one of the gems Of his discourse
off VIC go to heaven, and any Demo

out. If We 60 to he'll, we will heap fire
and birthstone on them. Yes, I would
stand on the battlements Of heaven and
kick Democrats into hell and if Isl to
hell. I will pour a cauldron of red hot
iron down on them"
This language would sound strang ely
from the mouth Of a true Christian sol
der; but coming from ChiviugtOn, whose
sole military exploit was the cold blooded
massacre of the Sand Greek Indian wo'
men and children, it just what could be
looked for.

Eighth Of january Convention

We are in favor Of holding the next
Democratic State Convention on the 9th
of January next-of celebrating Jackson''

ciples of the Democracy, the better it will
be for us and the country. We want a
platform dictated by principle instead OF
policy, aud we believe the only way to
get il is to hold an early Convention

The GALLON MURDER.-The Gallon
ReuieU Of last week, gives the following
additional particulars Of the late murder
at that place
In conclusion we last week stated that
the ipquisition before Major Cress, in the
absence Of the Coroner, was still progress,

ination continued until late in the after.

ed a verdict which in substance was that

der at the hands Of George o. Fitch. On
Friday morning Fitch was taken before
Peter Cress, j. p, and the preliminary
examination began, Prosecuting Attorney
Jones for the prosecution, and j. w
Coulter for the defense. The examina.
ton lasted until Saturday afternoon and
the result was that the prisoner was com
mitted to jail to await the sitting Of th'
grand jury at the November term o
Court.
As to the guilt or innocence Of Fitch
public opinion seems to be somewhat di
vided. True it is that the eyidenc,
brought forth at the examination was suf
fciently strong to commit him, but tn
guilt Of the man is something yet to b
fully established, aud great doubts are en-
y tertained by some asto whether that ca
be done. Should Fitch be found guilty {
