NEw YoRK, April 2s-Fhe COMMERCIAL
speeial SAYS Chief Justice Chase, and Olhel
I leading radicals, viii be eontented with tbs
constitutional amendment introduced by
I Senator Wilson yesterday, or II its equiva-
lent can be adopted BY The Reconstruction
/ Committee.
There have been 10 new esses Of eholera
] admitted 20 the hospital ship and five
I deaths, leaving 20 cases still in hospital.
The cases among the adults are Of mild
character, while those among children are
severe and viii probably prove fatsl. The
sloops Of war Saratoga and Portsmouth, by
orders from Washington, have been sent TO
lower quarantine to be used as hospital
ships.
The Presidents policy, as exhibited in
his CORES pOndence with his Provisional
Governors, was not inconsistent with this
plan. His breath was even now the law OF
the lend in those States. The Democrats
were pursuing him with friendship, and, il
they finally sedueed him, his friends could
rejoice that the past is at least secure. The
Presidents patriotic thoughts, Of the last
FIVE years, would still live, although only
TO reprove him. The prOsition TO receive
loyal Representatives from the South, he,
(Scofeld), rejected, as a trick, just as sea-
placing the pirate emblem, when he had
secured his victim
Mr.. Scofeld replied to the leading objee-
tons made to the Republican plan of re-
construction and Of contrasting II with the
policy advocated by the opposition. If the
latter were to succeed, the Conlederacy
would have eighty mem bers in the next
electoral college, and would heed only sew
enty-seYen more TO elect a President; Of
these they claimed twenty-one from seven
OF the Confederate States, and expected the
Democrats Of New York and New Jersey to
make up the remaining forty-six. The
Government would be then run entirely by
the direction Of rebels.
The Post special says: The Committee Of
Commerce of the Senate this morning
agreed TO report in favor Of the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Smythe for the New York Col
lectorship. The President has approved
the execution Of death sentence passed on
two South CarOlinians, convicted by Mill
tary Commission of a murder IN Charleston.
NAsHNGT0N, April 2S.-Ihe President
has officially proclaimed The convention be-
tween the Empire of Japan and the Gov
eminent OF the United States, Great Britain
and France and Holland, providing for pay
ments to this Government Of the sum Of
three millions Of dollars for indemnities and
expenses.
The Commercials special says the Recon
struction Committee agreed TO report the
following constitutional amendments to the
Bingham proposition; Securing the rights OF
all citizens il every State, and forbidding
State legislation to the contrary, and basing
representation upon the number after ex-
GLIDING ali who are excluded from the
polls. "a. Repudiating the rebel debt. Sd.
Giving Congress power to enact such laws
as are Necessary to enforce these amend
ments.
Two bills will be reported, one admitting
Congressional delegations from States rati-
| flying these amendments, and the other de
claring ineligible to office the leading rebel
officers.
The Posts special says the committee has
not reached a conclusion, but the plan of
the New York delegation seems to meet
with favor.
