WASHINGTON Cry, April 80.

AsHINGToN CITY, AprfZ9.
The report of the Reconstruction Com
mittee will be reported to both Houses of
of Congress tomorrow. 1t is intended
to press it to an early vote, though rea-
sonablc amount of debate will be allowed
Should it be passed by the requisite two
thirds vote, resolution will be present
ed requesting the Governors to convene
the State Legislatures in extra session
for the purpose Of ratifying the amend
ment.
A Democratic member of the. the
Committee yesterday submitted the plan
as agreed on, to the President Mr.
johnson thought there was practical
abandonment of the negro suffrage issue,
while on the other hand it virtually as
sumed the unconstitutionality of the civ
il rights bill by proposing to incorporate
it in the Constitutional Pits Com.

THE CONSERVATIVE" PARTY-We
desire to call particular attention to the
fact that every returned rebel soldier,
every draft dodger, every ex-C Camp Cha
sette and every rebel sympathizer is i1en-
titled with tho so-called Conservative par.
ty. We further wish loyal men to re-
member that aside from such as we have
mentioned above, there are but few that
belong to the organization.
They must also remember that it is
such men as we have desert bed that are
now denouncing the acts of our loyal
Legislature as unconstitutional. Men
who used every exertion in their power
to overthrow the Constitution and laws,
All the bushwhackers and raiders that
during the war waylaid and murdered
their fellow-citizens and stole their prop
erty, are now identified with this party.
We ask loyal men if they affiliate and
CO ooperate with such men? Notwith-
standing some of the measure of the
Uuicn party may be Objectionable, for ali.
things human are attended with some
degre Of imperfection, yet can they pos
sibly be as Objectionable as the internal
schemes concocted by the rebels and their
sympathizing friends? We ask Union
men to ponder these matters seriously
They now have to cast their lot with the
men who stood side by side with them
in sustaining the Government during the
war, or with the rebels. The alternative
is presented to them, and we are happy
to believe from the indications we have
seen, that the honorable discharged SOL
diers and Union citizens almost to man
will co-operats with the Union party and
will aid and sustain our loyal Legislature
in carrying out its measures.
They fought the rebellion during the
war, and they cannot sympathize with
those who murdered their sons and other
relatives. and who destroyed their prop
erty and did all in their power to destroy
the Constitution and overthrow the Gov
ernment.-G Garksvilye (W Fa) Tee

Young America,

This is the designation of individuals,
as of class, and not so much of class
as of a character 1t is understood to be
modern development of humanity, and
by some, is second indigenous to our
country. a product of American nstitu-
tions 1t is not confined exclusively to
any condition of society, appearing alike
in the lower and higher, and distinguish
ed only by the different drapory and cx-
terror attendants of riches and poverty
The same remarks might be made in ref
erence to the sexes, the character previd-
ing both, and exhibiting in both the same
peculiarites.
Young America is mainly distinguish
ed for his successful competition in the
race with time, by which he has outstrip-
ped the ordinary progress of juvenile
development, and achieved the extraordi-
nary feat of getting considerable in ad-
vance of his nominal age As legiti-
mate consequence of this, .forwardness
becomes visible element of the charac.
ter, appearing in the speech, in the man
ners, in the estimate formed Of the opin-
ions and wishes of others, aud in the air
of conscious exemption from the old reg.
ime of bashfulness and bushes. Bash
fulness is the terror of Young America
-alu ost the only one-as the fruitful
source of awkwardness in manners. A
mistake of Young America, we think
Bashfulness is modesty in the rough, and
modesty is bashfulness polished up. But
too violent and persistent rubbing may
endanger its delicate beauty The stern
old Roman, Seneca, deemed modesty
mighty auxiliary to virtue. He recon-
mended the cultivation of it to young
men, suggesting to them the inquiry,
even III their private conduct, how would
| act if the eyes of Cato were upon me +?
Pliny, too, a rich, retired lawyer, delight
ed to see and to encourage the youthful
beginner, when his face was covered
with the flush of anxiety, dashed with
modesty.
Young America, however, is not distin-
gulsb ed by manners alone. The charac-
ter appears in the dress But whether it
is as cause or as an effect, is question
difficult to decide. AS practical ques-
tion, it is one of Importance, whether the
character elects the style or the style sug-
gests and cultivates the character Young
America also extends his views beyond
externals, and subjects opinions and be.
licfs to the same process of reckless eli
mination. Sentiments and usages, rules
and actions, if they bear the marks of
long standing approval, are voted old
fogyish, not in spite of their pleas, but
in consequence Of them. Politics, relig-
ion, 'filial obligations, business affairs,
personal habits, marriage relations, even
tual.y feel the influence of the character
indicated by the term Young America,
and feel it sadly. The dispositions and
habits, cherished by the half approving
epithet bestowed on their earlier devel-
opments in childhood, viii in their matu-
rity embitter and dishonor lives that
