New YosK, April 30.-The N Y. Worlds spe-
cial says:
A number OF the reconstruction committee call
ed upon the president yesterday afternoon and
presented him with copy Of the plan which they
had adopted, and asked him hat he thought OF 1t.
He said he would let them know. After he had
carefully read it he said he thoue ht there was
siderable backing down from all their former prop
osItlons.
The steamer Allamanca, from Southnmp-
ton, 18th, arrived #rt. s
The n. Y. Tribune says of the plan of re-
construction agreed upon by the committee
The exultation of pro rebels over the ina.
! bility to agiee of the joint committee of Is
has proved illusory-the committee has
agreed on proposition which will to day be
reported TO both houses, and which has re-
| ceived the votes IL TO 81 of all but the cop
| pernead members. We may, therefore, &C.
| cept and consider the union party's plan OF
| reconstruction. Our own preference for a
| much shorter and simpler programme is well
known. Universal amnesty, impartial sut.
| frsge-such are it's conditions and the whole
| of them.
| The N. Y. Herald says: ~
| The plan is ingeniously contrived. 1t is
considerably milder than anything hereto
| fore emanating from the committee and near
est the policy and views Of President John

it's secondary object of pntting tire of exclu-
sion the south. In itself II is not an honest prop
ostion, 1t not offered with any expectation OF it:

shall be rejected.
| The N. Y. Times says:
The scheme would seem eeping enough tc
satisfy the most exacting radical 1t could hardly

vided for Wholesale con6scat,en and exterminatIoI

which the southern people will never submit.
| The New York Tribune's Washington specia
I says:
| After four months ot the most searching investi
| CATION and oispassoEate discussion among III
| will not be entirely sustained Of all shades o
opinion and sentiments thus far, man among
1 the Union members OF either house has expressed
any dissent from the plan.
The friends of the president gave assurano'
tonight that if congress carried out ths
scheme, in good faith, it will receive his ap
prevail and cooperation.
Neither of his organs here, it is stated, viii
commit themselves upon the proposition to
! morrow.
Thsd. Stevens has expressed his willing
ness to acquiescene in the measure.
The lieutenant general expresses his ap
proval and no measure of congress has chal
lened such universal assent in all quarters.
It is not anticipated that any materia
amendment will be carried, except the state
will be invoked to convene their legislature
so as to secure its adoption by loyal states
thus stimulating eoncnrrant action by tn
states lately In rebellion.
