WASHINGTON, December IA mixed
delegation from Virginia, North and.
Soulh Carolina, visited Stevens yestcr->
day, when the following was elected:
Stevens regarded the impeachment fail.
-urc an evidence Of iicklencss of public
opinion The Virginia delegate said the
impeachment failure would work serious
ly against reconstruction. Stevens re
marked that it could SoII faltto be other
wise, and mutual regrets, were ex:
changed. The North Carolina negro
/ (EEarns) said they would get along very
we'll. The Northern whites were more
frightened about negro, suffrage than the
Southern whites. Gov. Holden was the
life blood of the Republican, party Of
North Carolina. The Virginia:delegate
represented that the condition was criti:
cal, and unless Congress came. TO the
relief of the suffering colorcd and Whi'e
UnioniStS, it would be terrible. Stevens
favored the repeal Of the clause req quiring,
majority Of register cd voters. The.
delegation thought that'NDula do ; but
tsuggcstcd. a. law enlpow weriHg the Con-
ventions already called to establish, pro-
viSional. governments Immediately; then,
: ifihe Constitutions, were defeated, they
would have at least loyal State officers,
Stevens said he had drawn Up bill with
two or three beneficial provisions One
was to leave to majority to affirm or
reject tho Constitution another, stkat
the present Conventions shall, as inde-
pendent bodies, establish Governments
in lieu Of District Commanders, as soon
as Constitutions were ready. for submis-
sion to Congress. The delegates ap-
proved this. Stevens inquired whether
the cid masters would be able to seduce
the negroes from voting properly. Har-
ris replied that the negroes were depcn-
dent on their old masters for their daily
bread. There was danger, but Harris
hoped the negroes were capable of endu-
ring great privations. The Virginia del
egate, Cook, (colored) said Harris re-
marks applied to bis district; 500 in
Richmond lost places. Stevens hoped
the whole Southern vote would be cast
for the Republican party: this would
elect Republican President, and assure
triumphant reconstruction.
Stanton is to have full hearing before
the Senate Military Committee, to meet
the Presidents charges.
