RECONSTRUCTION.

To the friends Of our Government, the
most gratifying sign Of the times is tho
probability that the reconstruction Of the
Union will soon. be accomplished, by the
operation Of the original aud supplementary
acts Of Congress providing for the creation
Of new and loyal State governments in the
lately rcbellious States. This week we
publish the supplementary act passed by
the Forsieth Congress, having already
published the original act passed by the
Thirty ninth Congress.
A Washington special to New York
Times gives the following encouraging
views Of the readiness Of the South to pro.
coed 10 a reorganization on the terms and
in the way prescribed By Congress:
Numerous letters have been received
here from ysrious parts Of the South,
showing al astonishing revolution in pub.
lic sentiment with regard to reconstruction
The bill recently passed by Congress for
that purpose has already met with much
favor from prominent citizens in the ex-
cluded States, Who were at frst earnestly
opposed to it The example Of Virginia,
in accepting the terms proposed, will be
rapidly followed by all the othor Southern
States. The few who oppose this course
exert but little If any influence to defeat
the general design Of restoration. The
supplementary bill, pending before Con-
gress, is hailed With pleasure, because it
effectually prevents two conflicting con-
ventions. aud insures every person author
ised under the Law to vote, the right to do
So"
1t Is authoritatiyely announced at Rich
mond that General Lee is in favor of the
people voting for Convention, and that
he thinks every maa, not actually disfran-
chised, should not only take the necessary
steps to prepare himself, but to prepare
all his friends, white aud colored, to vote
right. lie thinks the cooperation Of all
the people, officials and citizens, should
be prompt, and that the chief object should
be to set, as quickly and quietly as posi-
bic, back into the Union with such rights
rs are left. He thinks the oath is such as
every citizen, not disfranched, ought now
to be able to take, as a simple matter Of
truth aud duty as citizen of the country.
In letter to the New Orleans Times,
dated March 9th, the rebel General Long
street comes out in favor of the acceptance
Of the Military Reconstruction act. He
says:
AS have never applied myself to poli-
ties, cannot claim TO speak to the wise
statesmen Of the country, who are devo-
ting their enc~gies to the solution Of the
problem WHICH agitatcs the public mind.
l can only speak the plain, honest convic-
tons Of soldier.
1t can hardly be necessary at this late
day, to enter into discussion Of the mat
ter chat is usually brought up in arguing
upon the proposed plau for rcconstructing
the Government. Indeed, think that

The striking feature, and the one that
our people should keep in view, is that
We are n conquered people. Recognizing
this fact fairly aud squarely, there is but
one course left for wise mon to pursue.
Accept the terms that are offered us by the
conquerors. There can be no discredit to a
conquered people for accepting the con-
ditions offered by their conquerors. Nor
is that any occasion for feeling Of hu-
initiation. We have made an honest, and
l hope that | may say, creditable fight,
bat We have lost. Let Us como forward
then aud accept the ends Involved in the
struggle.
Our people earnestly desire that The
constitutional government shall be re-es-
tabIishcd. and the only means to accom-
plish this Is to comply with tho require
ments Of the recent Congressional legisla-
ton.
II il said by some that Congress will
not receive Us oven after we have com
piled with their conditions. But l can
find no sufficient reason for entertaining
this proposition for moment. | -canaot

Singular Cenduct-Narrow Escape from
Death

A gentleman who reached this city yester
day from the West, by way OF the Northern
Central railway, furnishes the following &C.
count OF narrow escape from death He
states that W bile the train from Cincinnati for
Harrisburg was nearing Manayunk bridge, on
the Pennsylvania Central railroad on Safur.

whose name was discovered to be Joseph
Fournier, and q bootmaker by trade, entered
the ladies' car, and quietly sat dewn, remark
ing that parties in the other car were trying 20
get his watch from him. When the news agent
passed through the cars with box OF candy,
Fournfer wished to buy q package. but had
only five cents, and this being insufficient ne
offered his watch and pocket book for the box.
The news agent made joe ular remark and
passed on, when Fournier laid the above arti.
cles on his seat, placed his hands on the backs
with his shoulders jumped through the apsr-
ture feet foremost. A N ember Of the Philadel.
phia bar, Mr.. j II. Wheeler, sitting in a seat
next behind Fournier, made an effort TO clutch
him and draw him back, bat from the sudden.
ness OF tine jump was unable to hold him.
tournfer, through the momentary check, fell on
MS feet and rolled over to the side track. The
engine, although running at the rate Of fifteen
miles an hour, stopped, and Fournier was seen
10 rise and TO run short distance and then
stop. a. soon as the passengers neared him,
he fell or his knees, and crossing his hands
over his breast. cried out in tones of the most
abJe CT fear, "Klll me, kill me, here am" and
soon thereafter, "Oh, gentlemen, please don't

man, who, with her sister, was keeping house
