The Reconstruction Scheme.

The plan reported by the Committee has
passed the House with remarkable unanim-
ity. Even Henry J. Raymond of New York
city. whose paper. the New York Times
has been against the scheme. As reported.
at last voted for it. Ii was not to be eX-
pccted that in matter of so much impor-
lance. and involving questions of such
grave consequences, and reaching far into
the future. that perfect unanimiiy should
prevail even among members of the same
party. therefore the great unanmity as be-
fore remarked is truly wonderful.
The scheme is not all that many good
men hoped to see, nor does it satisfy the
extreme men, if such term can be used.
of the party; but no doubt all these came
to the wise conclusion that the Report is
the best that can be had from this Congress
and all the debate and pOsfponement that
those who were measurably dissatisfied
with it would not serve to perfect il or rem
der ii one whit better than ne it came from
the hands of the committee.
1t Is to be hoped that the Senate will ex-
ercise the same comlnendable spirit and
hasten to its passage. Once through both
Houses, one of the greatest questions that
ever occupied the attention ofany Congress
will have been passed upon, by it. and the
| final determination Of the matter lett where
the Constitution leaves it. Congress will
have shifted from its shoulder this great
load, leaving it free to occupy its time in
perfccting the other important question:

UWill the Ellsworth papers discus

TWill the Ellsworth papers discuss
the propriety Of having small
steamer. propeller, less than three and a
half feet draft, capable Of carrying 7j
passengers. and Of corresponding fr-iSlr'
capacity, to run between Ellsworth on
+; Union River and the most practical point
to connect with the Steamer City OF
Richmond ! Such boat eau be had
forthwith. Please open the ball. Have
the matter thoroughly discussed at snee.--
Machias Union.
Yes, bro Union the people as we'll as the
newspapers are discussing the propriety
Of having small steamer to run between
Ellsworth and che outside world. BY the
way, let us make suggestion at this time.
1t is that when We succeed in getting a
company chartered, organized. and a boat
ready to start. that the City Of Richmond
change her route so far as to leave
Castine, Sed.wick, &C.. from her landings.
and instead thereof leave Belfast touch
ing at Green's Landing. at Wetmore's,
(where the Steamer Rockland used to
make landing and then as now at
South West Harbor and so on.
Some such route will have to be cs-
tahlishcd to accommodate us here and to
make a boat pay and with the Rich
mond touching at tho points indicated.
and perhaps some others on the same line
IF travel. vc-y many people will be accom-
dated that are not nows The boat would
find large amount Of freight at Green,
Landing, and during the Whole boating
season, and the Route would be more
direct than the present one. and quite az
profitable, But we would not urge any
thing of the kind. unless the points NAM
cd can be just as well accommodated by
another boat and in the establishing Of =
new company. We throw out these sug-
scstions, and hope it will be discussed
Our columns are open tgr any one to ex-
press their views.

immigration annually, the population Of
the country will double every twenty years.
1t scouts the common notion that We have

safe in the belief that half Of the arabic
land Of the country is still untouched. but
at the same time wo must look back

PORTLAND, May II. 1866.

PORTLAND. May Ii. lSGG.
DEAR AMERICANA
To those Portland gentlemen who have
kindly advised some of orr .friends in Ham
cock County that General Chamberlain
does not wish the Office of Governor and
would decline ii if offered to him. let one
authorized to speak say. that he ia cam
didatc without any action of his own; that
the movement originated in a popular d.
mand IF the people; that he holds that the
high Office of Governor is not one to be
sought amer or traded for. Hehas howey-
er assured his friends that no did not feel
ut liberty to forbid them the use of his
name in this connection, and having given
them this assurance, he tcR! not eithdraur
from The Canvass until tie thioa Conreatio n
may be y.u, at,oa,, or ,clsat inducements may
be held out 10 HIM. Western Maine will
support him with almost unprecedented
unanimity.
The Portland Press largely owned by a
gentleman quite willing to he Governor, is
the only paper in the West, which has evinc-
ed a determination to support Mr.. Spring.
The Pennington Chronicle, Bath Seminal
Kennebec journal, Hallowell Gazette, Car
diner Journal. Rockland Gazette and Skow-
hogan Clarion. are open supporters ofCham
berlain. The Star supports Shepley; the
Oxford Democrat supports Perry; the y DIRK
paper Nathan Dane.
BY the way Nathan Dane does noe sap
port NJ. Spriag, this Ikno,c, and the an
nouncement that he did, was entirely I'M
authorized and is contradicted upon Mr.,
Danes authority.
Mr. Dane will carry most ofthe delegates
from York. General chamberlain will have
the balance. Move 4earl this. From the
commencement Ofthis campaign, the bold
est authority has been exereisedin retiring
candidates, and all without the consent or
