Gen. LEGS Testim ony.

In our columns today will be found the testi-
mony of Con. LEE before tho worshipful and
wearisomo Reconstruction Committee. This Com
mittce is in every way equal to Dickcnss famous
Circunlocution Office" and the only study Of
its members, as of those of tho "Circumlocution
Office" seems to be GLOW not to do it." But
Gen. LEES testimony does not appear calculated
to hclp them " How not to do it," the bravo old
captain is too honest ard truthful for them. Tho
lies and SANDERS of the Thomases and Terrys suit
their purposes better. - .,
Was there eyer anything in so-callcd free
country moro loathsomn, disgusting aud msliciOus
than this Reconstruction Committee? What ia
the particular difficulty to be overcome in the re-
establishment Of tho legitimate form of govern
ment throughout the cntrc area of the United
statcs2 Nothing, except the designs of dema-
gogucs aud fanatics to create difficulties, to bring
about disorders, and to provoke convulsions, in
which. they find the elements of their power. No
trouble is to be nppreh ended from the vanquished
South, but great deal from that faction of the
yictors that have not yot had enough of sectional
wranglng. The Southern people are to day bot
ter Unionists for all practical purposes than the
Northern Radicals who denouncc them for dis
loyalty. The South is willing to accept judgment
in the appeal to srs according to the claims tina!
taeir adversarics proftsscd to be contendng for.
They yield their point, and ask no moro than that
tho couquerors abide by the legitimate conse-
oucnces of their triumph. If it BIO true that the
North fought for UniGn, the prize is within their
reach, and tho lossrn are using their best on
doavors to make it valuable The object of the
Southern people now is Union. They desire, they
request, they labor for, tho political condition
that the North sought to establish by force OF
arms. There is no partisansbip, no intrigue, no
demagoguism, no strategy of factions in the
South; the people here ain only to rohabilitate
the cou2try, to secure for their section its rights
as a part Of the Republic, and to redeem their
land from tho poverty and dcsolation left in the
path of civil strife.
And in view of theso oincontrorertihle facts, hoH
fnse, how iniquitous: how malignant how un-
generous, does this Reconstruction COMMITTEES ap-
pear to the South And, in fact to all the civil
lied world saving and excepting always such
mon Us Sumner and Stevens, such people as their
blind and fanatical .dkerents, and such creature.
as the plant and nnprinciplcd instruments OF
their incendiary projects.

new companies to The frontier. Last night
four companies arrived at midnight in this
city. This morning there were no signs OF
them, and the authorities rcfuse to tell where

Two Radical Triumphs.

As will be seen by referring to cur ncWs columns,
the Presidents veto Of tho Civil Rights Bill has
been overridden in the Senate; and tie Rspubi-
cans have carried the day in Connecticut. There
is butlitte doubt that the ro1t papers will bring
us the news that tho late veto has also been ovor
ridden in the House. Much might b. said in the
effort to prove that neither of these successes is
very decided or available Radical triumph; but
we, who are at such distance from Washington,
had best not attempt to unravel the tangled and
eyer-tangling web of national Affairs Judging
from the present prospect, we fear it will be long
before the tangle is unraveled to the advantage of
the South

rhe Peace Proclamation.

While Congress .seoms determined to destroy

to save it. The conflict between Congress and
the President is day by day growing more serious
inisd aspects. What the result of the final clssh
will. be, no man can'foresee.
we publish this week, the long-talked-of and
lons s-hoprd-for Peace Proclamation of ANDREW
JOHNSON. In the Preamble to this Proclamation,
he says: "standing armies, military occupation,
martial law, military tribunal, and the suspen-
sion of the privilege of the writ of hobens corp"s
aro 10 time of peace, dangerous to tho public
interest, and incompatible with the individual
rights of citizens, and contrary to The genius and
spirit of our free institutions, and an exhaustion
of the national resources, and ought not, thero-
fore, to bo sanctioned;or allowed, except in case
of war, for repeling invaders or supprc'sins in
surrcction or rebellion"
While in the actual Corpus of the importan
document he merely says that: "'iso insurreo'
ton which heretofore existed iu tho States
Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolinn, Virginia
Louieiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tex
as and Florida, is atan end, and henccforth t
he SO regarded" j..
Tho Inference, however, can of course be nom
other than that all these things which are 81
dangerous to tho public interest,"" nrc to be nj
longer f"sanctioned OF allowed" Whether "
are to be delivered from the surveillance Of militia
ry occupation, or wbcthor the privilege Of tn

unable to say. Wo fear, however, that the re

WASHINGTON, Aprll otn.
The President to-day transmitted to Con-
gress q communication from the Secretary If
the Treasury and Postmaster General, sug-
cesting modification of the test oath. They
show the great importance Of such lcgisla-
ton both in a pecuniary and harmonizing

ration of Congress. 1t was referred 10 the
Committee on the Judiciary.
In the Se,late, Mr.. Lane, Of Kansas, offered
a resolution or the admission oftbe Southern
States to representation on condition of repu-
dating the Confederate debt and ell !otsing
the Federal debt, and annulling ordinances ol
secession, and granting tho right Of suffrage
to colored persons who pay fax on two hun
dred and fifty dollars worth of property, ,'aud
can read and write. He spoke of the neces-
sity of immediate action on the subject of re-
construction to save the Repub can party.
The veto message was taken up, and some
sharp conversation ensued between Lane and
Meade. The former endorsed the Preside:
with great vigor. The discussion created
considerable sensation. Further debate en-
sued at six o'clock, but no vote was taken.

they ought to be discharged from custody,
and that Military Commission had no legal
