LFrom Yesterdays Evening PapersI
New YoRK, April 30.-The Tribune says of the
plan for reconstruction agreed upon by the COM
mittee, the exultation of pre- Confederates over
the inability to agree of the joint committee of if
| teen proved iil-timed. The committee, BY twelve
| against three have agreed to proposition to he
| reported day. Our views, says the Tribune are
| well known--uniyersal amnesty, impartial suf-
| frage. l
The Herald says the plan is ingeniously con
| triyed, and considerably milder and nearer the
views aud policy of the President than anything
heretofore emanating from the committee. 1t may
be unnecessary in some things, superfuous in 9TH
! ers and unfair in its continued exclusion of the
Southern States after their fulfillment of the con
ditions of the administration. We now await the
4 issue before the Houses.
i The Times says the scheme would seem sweep
lug enough to satisfy the most eEaGtng RADICAL as
plan of paciaeaton and reconstruction. The
/ whole thing might be styled farce
/ The World says the purpose of the schemt
would not have been more apparent if it had beer
labelled an iniallible plan for preventing the Souti
from voting in the next Presidential election. II
Is an honest proposition, and not offered with any
expectation Of its acceptance, but with the delib
crate design that it shall be rejected.
Ing IlfIlLC SptGlhi says llltL ibiIS IOuf month";
OF most searching investigation and dispassiOnat
| discussion amongst the members of the committee
it IS believed that the plan will meet with the en-
tire sanction of all shades of opinion No Unioi
man of either House has expressed any dissent
and the friends of the President give assurance
that if Congress carries out the scheme in goot
faith 1t will receive his approval and cooperation
1t is stated here that neither of the Presidents
organs will commit themselves upon the PROPOSE
tion tomorrow.
Thad Stevens ayows his readiness to acquiesce
in the measure.
The lieutenant general expresses his approval
Of it,

FmEHEN's GRAND ToRoHL1GHF PROCESSION M
MoBuE.-Mobile Creole Fire Company No. had
magnificent torchlght procession one night last
week, which is said by those who witnessed it to
have been one of the most imposing displays ever
seen in the South. In the procession were five of
the members who aided in organizing the company
in December, l8l9--fory-seVen years ago. The
procession was headed by the chief of the Mobile
$ fre department and bis assistants and the banner
of each company was displayed with its motto.
The Times says:
OF the appearance of the members of the COM
pany ITSELF we cannot speak too much in praise
their neat, trim jackets of bue-their light and
substantial caps-the traditional light on the left
arm-their elastic stap-their well-proportioned
