The New York Times, Republican journal,
speaks thus Of the proposed Reconstruction
scheme :-"As a plan Of pacidcation and recon
struction, the whole thing is worse than bur-
lesque. It might be styled a farce, were the
country not in the midst of very serious
drama. It's proper designation would be, "A
plan to prolong indefinitely the exclusion Of the
South from Congress by imposing conditions to
which the Southern people never will submit. -"
The Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun says 1.-THE plan means simply that
the republican party intend to hold their power
il Congress, not only for this but for the next
Congress, and intend also to have the next
Presidency. .s........~

Observation-Disclosures who regard not law,
right nor reason, are talking about resembling
the act of Congress by which the city Of Alex
andria was separated from the District of Co.
lunlbia and retroceded to the State of Virginia
Should the iniquity be perpctrated, it may oc-
cur to the Legislature of Virginia to rescind the
act by which her portion of the District was
originally ceded to the General Government
If Legislative action is to be undone, it is. as
competent for Virginia to undo her acts as it
is for the Congress of the United States. And
when the State gets about this sort OF work,
she will hardly overlook the act by which GER
tam body, assuming to exercise leg isIative DOW
ers, assented to the division of the State and
the erection of another State within her bor
ders. Let Senator Wade 90 ahead, then, and
establish, II he can, the right of recession in re-
spect to legislation of this character. It will
be a valuable precedent for us. 80

Speaking Of the radical scheme Of re-annex
ing Alexandria county, Va, to the District of
Columbia, the New York News suggests that
it would be a capital idea to extend the boun-
diaries Of the District of Columbia so as to in
clude the States lately in Instruction. This
would be a concise, neat simple, and cheap
method of getting rid of all the complicatioas
wherein the reconstruction question seems to
be hopelessly entanglcd, and would doubtless
secure the support of all moderate and reasona-
bic men,.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY l, 1866.

Congress commenced its session in Decem-
Der; it is now May. In old times, we believe,
Congress, at the long session, used to adjourn
about the period Of complaining. How many
months more the legislative halls will now be
kept open, no one can say-some think-unless
the cholera comes and causes a stawpec7e-untl
July or August next. The prospect is not a
very agreeable one to those who want to see
peace and quiet restored to the country-for it
seems as long as Congress sits, there is contin
nal agitation and fear of mischief. It is said
in the days Of James the LIST and Elizabeth,
when the English Commons were not in good
humor with these monarchs, they contrived
three methods of running the time to waste
nihil agendo, Or aliud agendo, or male agendo;
doing nothing, doing something else, Or doing
evilly. The last of these would seem to be the
cxpedient in our day, and in our Congress. =
And most unfortunate one it is, for land so
lately torn with civil strife, and now needing,
above everything else, renose. Why not let
passion, and prejudice and i'll feeling subsde
as much as possible, instead of keeping up con-
slant irritation? If reason, good sense, and
correct feeling prevailed, there would be no
difference Of opinion about this

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Howe, in the
course Of some explanations, said He had
understood that the Postmaster General had
said that no man should eat the bread and but
ter of the President who did not support his
policy. He (Mr. II. had been forced to come
to the conclusion that though the same party
elected him and his colleague, the President
did not recognize him as belonging to the same
party as his colleague. As to these Offices be-
ing bread and butter, he (Mr. Fl. J acknowledged
no such idea and if they were bread and but
ter, they were not the Presidents bread and
butter, and the people Of the United States
would tolerate no one man assuming to control
them for his own private purposes, or endeav-
oring by them to Dragon people into support
