The Plan for Reconstruction
Agreed Upon by the Committee
What is thought of II.
New YORK, April 30.-The Tribune's
special says: After four months of the
most searching investigation and dispas-
sionate discussion among the members in
committee, it is believed the plan will meet
the entire sanction of all shades of opinion
and sentiment. Thus far no man among
the Union members oTelJner House has eX-
pressed any dissent from this plan. Tue
friends of the President gave assurance to-
night that if they carry out the scheme in
good faith it will receive his approval and
cooperation. Neither of his organs here,
it is stated, will commit themselves upon
the proposition tomorrow. Thad. Stevens
avoWs his readiness to acQuiesce in the
measure, the Lieutenant General expresses
his approval, and no measure of Congress
has challenged such universal assent in all
quarters. 1t is not anticipated that any
| material amendments will be carried, and
the States will be invoked to convene their
Legislatures so as to secure its adoption by
the loyal States, thus stimulating concur
rent action by the States lately in rebellion
| The Worlds special says: A member of
the Reconstruction committee called upon
the President yesterday afternoon and pre-
sented him with copy of the plan which
they had adopted, and asked him what he
thought of it. He said he would let them
know after he had carefully examined it,
He said he thought there was considerable
backing down from all their former propo-
sitiOns. ..... .......... ..... ........
The Times special says: AS it is known
that Senator Johnson and Representatives
Grider and Rogers only voted in the neg
ativP, the alternatives must be Senators
Fessenden, Grimes, Harris, Howard and
Williams, and Representatives Stevens,
Washburne Of ILL.,, Morrill,, Bingham, Conk-
ling, Boutwell, and Blow. Many Union
members assert their belief that the entire
proposition can be carried through both
Houses by a two+thirds vote.
The Herald's special says: 1t is every
where looked upon as very diminutive
kind of animal to repay the long labor of
the mountain. Common rum0r attributes
its production to Mr.. Roscoe Conkling,
Representative from the Oneida District of
New York, in conjunction with the mas
sive intellect of the Chevalier Forney.
Both wings of the party are out of humor
at the result of the extensive researches
and elaborate Investigations of this won
derful inquisition. Each of the antagon
istic parties claims that nothing is accom-
plished by the scheme suggested, but as it
does not distinctly contrOvert their opin-
ions, and is the nearest to their peculiar
ideas that can be obtained, they subscribe

600 to supply deficiency in the appropria-

NEW YORK, April 30.-The Herald's spe-
cial says: The Miantonomah will soon 90
to the fishing grounds to protect the rights
of American fishermen, and the Augusta
will also besent there. Wellinforned per-
sons think a collision in British North
American waters is quite probable.
Hostility 10 tIle Reconstruction
