Committee, at the request of many lead
ing Southern Unionists, among whom ar
Maynard, Stokes, Fowler and Hubbard
have decided to circulate sixty THOUSAND
copies of Mr.. Shellabarger's great speed
upon the right of the Government to dis
Franchise rebels, and the fact that the trn
men of the South approve it, is inhuenc
ing many there to insist upon the disfran
chising clause of the proposed amend
ment. On the other hand, the Washing
ton dispatch to the Philadelphia Pres
AYERS that leading Southern men at Wash
fngton unhesitatingly state that If tn
clause preventing certain persons fron
voting until 1870 is omitted, there will b
little objection to the general plan in tn
South; and they base this opinion upol
the fact that these classes, with their oyer
wheIming power in the South, would b
apt TO vote anyhow. There is a GROWN
disposition in Congress to yield every
thing to the Southern people Except a
lowing the rebel chiefs to hold office,
only the latter will cordially acquiesee
the substantial features of the report n
Iating to representation, and agreeing t
the formal reputation of the rebel wa
debt, and the abandonment Of all hopes
payment for their slaves.
