Summers Supplementary Plans Of Recon
StFuctiOn.

In the United States Senate on thursday
Mr. Sumner introduced resolutions. declaring
certain further guarantees required in the
reconstruction of the rebel States:
Resolred, That Congress in declaring by
positive legislation that it possesses para
mount authority over the rebel States, and
in prescribing that no person therein shall be
excluded from the elective franchise by reason
of race, color, or previous condition of servi-
tude, has begun the work Of reconstruction,
and has set an example to itself
Second That there are other things re-
naming to be done which are as clearly
within the power of Congress as the elective
franchise, and it is the duty of Congress to
see that these things are not left undone
Third. Resolued, That among the things
remaining to be done are the five following !:
First. The existing governments which
have been declared to be illegal must be va
Gated, so that they can have no agency in
the work of reconstruction, and will cease to
exercise pernicious influence.
Secondly Provisional governments must
be constituted as temporary substitutes, for
the illegal governments, with special author
ity to superintend the transition to permanent
governments, republican in form. a..
Thirdly AS legality beyond suspicion
must be the basis of permanent governments,
republican in form, every possible prccaution
must be adopted against rebel agency Or in
fuence in the formation Of these govern
ments.
Fourthly. AS the education of the beo-
pie is essential to the national welfare, and
especially to the development Of those prin-
ciples Of justice and morality which consti-
tute the foundation of republican govern
ment, and as, according to the census, an
immense proportion Of the people Of the rebel
States, without distinction Of coler, cannot
read and write, therefore public schools must
be established for the equal good of all.
Filthy. Not less important than educa-
cation is the homestead, which must be Sc
cured to the freedmen, so that at least every
head of family may have a piece Of land.
Resolued, That all these requirements are
in the nature of guarantees to be exacted by
Congress, without which the United States
will not obtain that security for the future
which is essential to just reconstruction.
Mr.. Sumner asked to proceed to the con-
sideration Of the resolutions, but Mr.. John
SOP objected
Mr.. Henderson introduced Joint resolu-
ton proposing an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, that no State
shall deny or abridge.to it's citizens the right
to hold office on account Of race or color.
Referred to the Committee on the Judicial

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH IS, 1851.

The subject Of calling Convention under
the Military Reconstruction bill seems to
have exercised the people of our State to a
greater degree than was consistent with their
usual calm and patient fortitude under trying
circumstances. We believed all the while
it was the occasion of greater excitement
than there was any necessity for. Although
our every feeling and sentiment revolted at
the idea of Virginians being made party to
their own degradation, as it seemed to us
would be the case if their representatives In
the Legislature called the Convention, yet
we did not think proper to add to the feeling,
which seemed to be increasing, between those
who opposed and those who favored speedy
call Of Convention by the General Assem-
bly,, by inveighing against the precipitancy
which the latter proposed as the proper course
to be pursued. We felt that it was useless
to argue against the calling of a Convention
by the Legislature, as we were satisfied then,
as we are now, that Congress is not done
with us. There is too much capital in South
ern Reconstruction for the Radicals to let
90 the hold which they have upon us yet
He that thinks otherwise is but fattering
the wishes which beget his thoughts. No!
when Conventions are called and Constitu-
lions framed in accordance with every re-
quiremcnt of this bill, Congress will refuse to
approve them and admit our representatives,
until every particle Of Radical capital is ex-
hausted from the anomalous political condi-
ton in which the people and States of the
South are now placed.
The Stevens-S Observation-Disclosures bill
provided in general way for Southern re-
construction, by the calling of Conventions,
&c., but failed to specify who should call
these Conventions This want of specifcness
induced the contrariety of opinion on the sub
iect in this State, and has attracted the atten-
ton of members Of Congress, as will be seen
from the bills offered in the Senate by Messrs.
Sumner and Wilson, which we publish in
another column. 1t is stated by a late tele.
gram that the Judiciary Committees of both
Houses of Congress will report bill similar
to the bill offered by Mr. Wilson, which will
settle this question by making it the duty Of
the Brigadier Generals to call the Conven-
tons, or if they prefer delegate the authori-
ty to the acting Governors. We doubt not
this will be equally acceptable to those who
opposed voluntarily accepting degrading
scheme and those who would soften the inev-
liable blow by precipitate acceptance. We
do not cease to regard the S. S. S. bill as
unconstitutional and outrageous, and to con-
tenn it's authors, aiders and abettors, who
could force it upon brave though powerless
people, but we do feel satisfaction in know
ing, since come it must, that we are not to be
made parties to our own degradation by vol
unfairly accepting it, but that it is to be
forced upon US, and that the only subject Of
division among our people since the defeat Of
the Confederate armies is thus removed.

The latest dispatches from Dublin, report
the rising of Fenians in all portions of Ire
land. The Government had suppressed them
at one or two places, by dispensing the Feni-
an bands only to hear of risings elsewhere.
It is evident from the reports, that there is
no great concert among the leaders. Ifthere
was concert Of action among them it is not
probable that they could meet with success,
but without it defeat is certain. AS in the
case of the Fenian attack on Canada, we
sympathize with them, but regret the rash
folly that has precipitated a conflict with
Great Britain that must end in defeat and
greater oppression to the poor down-trodden
Irish.

From the report of Gen. Howard. Com.

From the report Of Gen. Howard, Com
missioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau, relative
to the restitution in portions of the South,
we learn that the number of destitute per-
sons in Virginia are, White $500, Black
$500; North Carolina, White 5000, Black
1000 South Carolina, White 5000, Black
5000; Florida, White 500, Black / 900 ;
Georgia, White 7 800, Black 5000; Ala
bama, White 10, 900, Black 5000; Tennes-
see, White 1000, Black 1000; Mississip-
pi, White 1862, Black 2,038; Arkansas,
White 1000, Black 500; Louisiana. White
800, Black 200, making total of nearly
60, 900 persons, in the States named, utterly
destitute, and for whom Government aid is
asked. This is indeed sad picture, and es-
pccially in section where want has been
hitherto unknown.
If the Northern people were in condition
to reason, they could see that il is the reck-
less legislation Of Congress, for the past two
years, which has not only produced this des-
titution, but has kept the South in state of
productive inaction, which must tell ulti-
mately on the national credit. They cannot
understand this until it is brought home to
their own doors, which the sages of the North
see coming in the shape of bankruptcy and
reputation.
Be it said to the credit Of Congress, how
ever, which has so little on the score of mag
nanimity and generosity to be credited with,
