General Longssreet ON Reconstruetion.

Exrebel Gen. James Longstreet has writ.
ven the following letter to the New Orleans
1imes on the political situation;
New ORLEANs, March ls, 1867.
Ia your paper OF yesterday you have ex>
pressed desire to hear the views Of several
gentlemen upon the political condition Of the
country. find my name mentioned among
the list and proceed without hesitation to
respond. As l have never applied myself
to politics cannot Claim to speak to the wise
statesman of the country who are devosing
their energies to the solution Of the problem
which agitates the public mind. can only
speak the plain, honest conviction Of . sol.
der. 1t can hardly be necessary, ct this late
day, to enter into . discussion Of matters
that are usually brought up in arguing upon
the proposed plan Of reconstructing the govt
trnmens. Indeed, think that many o.
them are not pertinent to the question.
The striking feature, and the one that our
people should keep in view, is that We are .
conquered people. Recognizing this fact
fairly and squa.ely, there is but one course
left tor wise men to persae, and that is to
accept the terms that are now offered US BY
the couquerors. There can be no discred,t
to . conquered people for accepting the con.
dtion offered by their conquerors, nor is
there any occsion for feeling Of hun. ilation.
We made an honest, AID hope may say .
creditable fight, but we have lost. Let u
come forward, then and accept the ends in.
volved in the struggle. Our people earnestly
desire that the constitutional government
shall be re-es,xblished, and the only means
to accomplish this is to comply with the
requirements Of the recent congressional
legislation. 1t is said by some that congress
viii not receive US even alter we have COM
piled with their conditions, but can find no
sufficient reason entertaining this proposition
for . moment. cannot admit that the
representative men of great nation could
make such q pledge in bad faith. Admit
ting, however, that there is slci q mental
reservation, can that be any excuse fer US In
failing 10 discharge our duty? Let US ac>
eept the terms, ~ we are III duty b. und to
DO, and ifthere is lack Of good faith let il

Very respectfully your obi. servt.,

ImDeachmnEt.

The Washington special of the Chica-
go Republican says ''the President has
sent word to some of the Republican
members that he is disposed 70 recognize
reconstruction under the present law as a
thing that is to be, and that he will not
make any further resistance. What eff
feet this will have upon any one remains
to be seen. 1t would seem however hat
it should have a great deal of weight. If
the president will obey the laws in the fu-
ture, and execute the will of Congress,
that is all that's wanted of him. For
his past misdeeds we can let him go free
as we did other rebels But nothing will
save him from the brand of infamy which
his actions have placed upon his brow.
Impeached or not, as long as he lives he
will carry the stigma of the man whom
the people impeached
