WASHINGTON. April S0.-Aher four months of
the most searching investigation and dispassion-
ate discussion among the members in Congress, it
| is believed the plan will meet with the entire
sanction Of all shades of opinion and sentiment.
| Thus far no man among the Union members of
either House has expressed any dissent from this
plan The friends Of the President gave assur-
ance tonight that if Congress carries out the
scheme in good faith it will receive his co-opera-
ton. Neither of his organs here it is stated, will
commit themselves upon the proposition. To-
morrow Thad. Stevens ayOws his readiness to
quiesce in the measure. The Lieut.. General ex-
presses his approval and no measure Of Congress
has challenged such universal assent in all ques-
tons. 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 the adoption by loyal States, thus stimula
ting concurrent action by States lately in rebel
lion.
A member of the Reconstruction Committee
called on the President yesterday evening and
presented him with copy of the plan they. had
adopted. and asked him what he thought oft.
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 positions.
1t is known that Senator johnson and Repre-
sentaiives Order and Rogers only voted in the
negatives; the alternatives must be Senators Fes-
sendeii, Grimes, Harris, Howard and Williams
and Representatives Strong, Washburne of
Illinois, Morrill,. Bingham, Conklin, Boutwell,
ana Blow. Many members assert their belief
that the entire proposition can be carried through
both Houses by a tWO-thirds vote
1t is everywhere looked upon as a very diminu-
tive animal to repay the long labor of the noun
tain. Common rumOr attributes its production to
Mr.. Roscoe Conklin, from the Oneida district,
New York, in conjunction with the massive intel
lect of Chevalier Forney. Both wings of the par
ty are out of humor at the result of the extensive
researches and elaborate investigations of this
wonderful inquisitiOn. Each of the antagonistic
parties claim that nothing is accomplished by the
scheme suggested, but as it don't exactly cOntro-
vert their opinions and is the nearest to their pc
culiar ideas that can be obtained, they subscribe
to it.
The Burial of Union Soldiers.
Quartermaster General Meigs has submitted a
very interesting report to the Secretary of War,
showing that great progress has been made in look
ing after the proper burial of Union officers and
soldiers in the South.
The Cabinet on Reconstruction.
The majority of the Cabinet are quoted as ia
voring the reconstruction report.
Muster Out Of staff Officers.
An order mastering cut all volunteer staff Off
GERS will be issued soon.

FROM NEW YORK.

The New York Press ON the Plan of the
Reconstruction Committee.
New YOIx, April 3O-The Tribune says of the
plan of reconstruction agreed upon by the Com
mittee: The exultation of pro rebels over the
inability to agree of the joint committee of fifteen
has proved i'll timed: The committee have agreed
on a proposition which will to-day be reported
to both Houses, and which have received the
votes-12 to 3-of all but the Copperhead men,
bers. We may. therefore, accept and consider it
as the Union party's plan Of reconstruction. Our
own preference for q much shorter and simpler
plan is well known. Universal amnesty. Impair
tiaI suffrage-such are its conditions, and the
whole of them.
The Herald says: The plan is ingeniously con-
trived. 1t is considerably milder than anything
heretofore emanating from the committee, and
nearer the policy and views of President john
son. 1t may be unnecessary in some things, su-
perfuous in Others and unfair in its continued
exclusion ofthe Southern States, after having, on
their part, fulfilled the condition of the Admin
istratiOn, charged with discretionary powers over
the whole subject, but we have now only to await
the issue before the two Houses.
The Times says: The scheme would seem sweep
ing enough to satisfy the most exacting Radical.
1t could hardly be mere sweeping, indeed, unless
it provided for the wholesale confiscation and ex
termination or Punishment of the Southern peo-
pie. As plan of paeifcatiOn and reconstruction
the whole thing is worse than burlesque. 1t
might be styled farce were the country not in
the midst of a very serious drama. Its proper de-
signaton would be, plan to prolong indefinitely
the exclusion of the South, and compromise by
imposing conditions to which the Southern peo-
pie never will submit.
The World says: The purpose of the scheme
would not have been more apparent had it been
labeled by the committee an infallible plan for
preventing the South from voting in the next
Presidential election. So transparent is its in
tent that it fails entirely in respect to its second
airy object-of putting the bands of exclusion on
the South itself. 1t is not honest proposition
1t is not offered with any expectation of its accept
ance, but with a deliberate design that it shall be
