Reconstruction.


To insure prosperity to the American
people, it Is necessary and Of the first
importanceTto all our interests to admit
the Southern States to all their rights
and privileges within the Union. No
doubt it serves party purpose to ex.
claim, as the Radicals do, "They have moi
besn sufficiently humbled yet; they must
be made tosubscribe to all our doctrines
before ,se can admit them!' But are not
the interests Of this great and growing
Nation, Of far more Importance than the
narrow prejudices Of the adherents of the
dominant party? ~
Since the recapitulation of the Con-
federate armies, the people of the South
have evinced Already willingness, and have
exerted themselves Increasingly to regain
representation. All Of their acts have
pointed 20 but one end-the Union. How
have their advances been net? They
have heen stigmatized as 'sUnwashed
rebels" "Unrepentant traitors" "Union
destroyers,' and aGopperheads," instead
Of being taken by the hand and joyfully
welcomed back.
The proper method te preserve and re-
store the Union intact, even at this late
day, is to say to the South: "Come back;
We will, and. have every confidence in
your professions; your interests are our
interests; your country is our country;
Jour Union is our Union; your friends
are our friends; your cause is our cause,
and hereafter we will stand indissolnbly
for the maintenance of the American
Union against all oppssers whomsoever. :"
The South would respond "aye" to hu-
mane proposals like these; but possessing
thsspirits Of men never will give in their
adherence to measures that reduces them
below their negroes; reverts their States
TO Territorial condition; keeps an army
in their midst; Freedman's Bureau
which dictates what they shall and what
they shall not pay every negro they en-
ploy, and ten thousand other measures,
only calculated to widen the breach,
rather than restore confidence among the
people and prosperity to the country.

NEW PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.

NEW PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.
The highly important consultation
which the President and his Cabinet have
been holding with leading Southern men,
on a new plan for reconstruction, and al
luded to last week in these dispatches,
ended last night in an agreement that a
series of resolutions, drawn up at the
conference in favor of suffrage, based on
reading and writing and property quail
ifcation of $3.50, should be submitted for
adoption to the Southern Legislatures,
to pave the way for the submission of the
question by the President in his message
to the Fortieth Congress. These resolu-
tions were sent to the Governors of sew
eral of the Southern States to-day, ac-
companied by an advisory letter, stating
that they met the Presidents approval.
The question of Amnesty does not ap-
pear to have been an essential feature of
the proposed plan. The Governor of
North Corolina was telegraphed to night
to keep the Legislature in session to con-
slider these propositions, and similar
messages we're sent to the Executives Of
Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina. left
tonight to submit the new plan to the
Legislature of his own State

The Currency in Congress.

The infationists may always rely upon
plenty of subseryient tools in Congress,
and the day is far distant when the hon.
est laborer will hear the clinking Of sill
yer in his pocket, or buy chicken for
his Sunday dinner at silver prices. Mr..
Grinnell offered resolution in the House,
on the Sd inst, instructing the Ways and
Means Committee to report a bill forbid
ding any further withdrawal of green
backs during the present year. This res
olution passed By a cote of 81 to 67. AS
soon as the fact was known in New York,
Wall street went a-kiting; gold took a
jump, and the produce and provision
dealers decided to raise their prices.-
This movement in Congress means con-
tinuance in dear food, dear fuel, dear
clothing, dear rents.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
The Senate is still in session o-night
OF tne interminable tariff. The prohibi-
tations triumphed again to day by incre,s-
ing the duties on woolens. The bill is
now one Of the most uneven tariff meas
ures ever considered in Congress. Com
missioner Wells pronounces it bad bill;
it is neither one thing nor the o.her.-
Where the rates have been increased, they
have been put up so high as to make them
prohibitory. At this writing, the bill
has not passed the Senate, but will prob
ably go through to meet its fate in the
House. As it now stands, the West and
not few New England men will vote
against it.
The House to day passed bill to trans
fer the Indian Bureau to the control Of
the War Department and the army, and
then took up the annual Fertilization bill.
In the amendatory Tax bill the Ways
and Means to-day placed tanned leather
and butter and cheese on the tree list.
IMPEACHMENT.
Thus far memorials signed by about
two thousand persons, praying sor the
Impeachment of the President, have been
presented in the House and laid before
the Judiciary Committee. The tide is
turning and petitions against the move
ment are coming in. To-day Mr. Ray
mond presented the memorial of Murphy,
McCurdy & Warden, and large number
of other business men in the City Of
New York, demonstrating against move
ments for the impeachment of the Presi
dent, and urging the necessity of adopt.
ing measures to strengthen public conf
dence, allay excitement, revive the inter
ests Of the labor and capital, and promote
the peace ami prosperity of the country.

The Senate considered the House Bank
rupt bill all day, and gave but little hope
that it viii be passed.
The House consumed two hours on
private bills, and then took up the Sen
ate bill to prohibit the President from
making removals from Office without the
consent of the Senate. All amendments
were voted down, and disposition svin-
ced to pass it tomorrow just as it came
from the Senate.

FEBRUARY 4.
The House to-day was remarkably on
ly for the struggle which took place du-
ring the morning hour over series Of
resolutions, in which it was proposed to
give the country ahe opinion of the
House on national finances. After re-
fusal to order the question on several
resolutions endorsing the present rate
of contraction, and declaring that the
amount to be retired should not 60 be-
yond four millions per month, the House
was plumply brought to vote on res
olution. "That the public interest de-
mands that there shall not be, during the
current year, ANY reduction of outstanding
=. s. notes, commonly known as green
backs, and that the committee of Ways
and Means be instructed to report such
bill as may be necessary to effect this
object" This was passed by eighty
seven to sixty majority of twen-
ty The Western members, who are the
infationists, made up this majority, those
from the Eastern and middle States vo-
ting against it. The Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee made an effort
to kill off the resolution, and came with
in twelve votes Of putting it on the table.
A three-hours' debate took place on
the Bankrupt bill in the Senate, and at
the adjournment Senator Poland, who
has charge of it, gave notice that he
should press it to vote tomorrow or
next day. lie said he felt assured that
unless this was done it would be crowde d
out of sight by other business. The fate
of this important measure is svery doubt
full.

Feouary D.
A vote was reached to-day in the Sen
ate on the Bankrupt bill, and it was lost
by tie vote. Had all of its friends been
present it would have passed by small
majority A motion to reconsider the
vote, however, was entered, and the bill
will undoubtedly pass on another vote
and go to the House for concurrence.
The amendments of the Senate are of
great importance, and if there is dispo-
sition to debate them at length in the
House the fate of the bill will still be
doubtful In the debate to-day Senator
Gown took decided ground against the
bill, principally on the ground that its
operations, if enacted into law would
be too far removed from the people. He
did not believe it could be administered
in United States courts in the large States
where some of the people lived one hun
dred and City miles from the session of
the court.
The House day performed the sin
gular freak of rejecting the Annual For
tifcation Appropriation bill. There was
disposition to load it with amendments
vas the principal cause of its defeat.--
New York loses by this failure the fol-
lowing appropriations:
s. For Fort Schuyler, $4,000; for the
Fort opposite Willet's Point, s5o,000;for
Fort at Sandy Hook, S75,000;for the fort
on the site of Fort Tompkins, $50, 900.
