Reconssruction.

In another column will be found o
plan of reconstruction in the shape Of
amendments to the Federal and State
constitutions, which is understood to
come from some Southern gentlemen
who have but recently visited Wash
ngton. 1t is said that this scheme has
the approval of several members OF the
Virginia Legislature, and that it will
be presented for formal adoption in the
North Carolina Legislature. 1t was in
tended to be kept, for time at least,
from the newspapers, in order that any
discussion of its merits might be avoid
ed, but the Richmond Enquirer very
properly deems II a matter of deep pub
lie interest and therefore presents it
tor public consideration.
1t will be seen that this plan differs
in several important particulars from
the amendment proposed by Congress,
and especially in making no provision
for q sweeping disfranchisement Of the
Southern people. For this reason, and
because all educational qualification is
required of voters, it will, we imagine,
find little favor with the leading Radi-
calls in Congress. Nothing short of uni
versal negro suffrage, and such disfran-
chisement ofthe present voting class as
will place the political power Of the
South in the hands Of the enfianchised
blacks and q few mean whites OF
the HUNNIcUTT stripe will be
approved by prominent Radical Con-
gressmen. Without reference to the
intrinsic merits Of this Southern propo-
sition, it strikes US as impracticable for
the reason stated. If the past be any
index of the future this new scheme,
even if formally proposed, can only re-
suit In establishing what many people
already believe, that no AN of set
Element which fails to ensure the Radi-
Gals perpetual ascendency in the South,
will meet with the approval of the dom-
nant party. As indicating the temper
with which this "new policy" will be
received at the South, We annex an
extract from the Richmond Enquirer:
I'VE must sean the elements of the
hostility which assails US, discover
wherein lies the strength that gives it
supremacy at the North, and disarm it
if we may. 1t is aprime problem in
our statesmanship to ascertain in what
manner, and by what least injury, we
may SO change the current of public
sentiment as to secure q majority, not
To this or that party, but to those of
whatever name who will discontinue
the cruel and unjust war upon our So
eiety, ....t
Testing tho scheme above by these
views, it contains some points that may
be properly yielded, IL there be, as
there seems to be, Q distrust and unessi-
ness at the North which should thereby
be quieted. The Northern mind Is much
appealed TO in every election by decls-
rations that the South has not accepted
the results. Of the war in good faith;
that she still cherishes the purpose Of
secession; that the Federal debt would
pe repudiated by our admission; that

The Last HOar,

But let me think somewhat ofthe
future There will cJme to me anotb-
er hour which, Ike the present, will
be the last Of all my earthly years.
The clock will sound it from the
church tower. When my failing ear
can no longer hear it, and those only
who are watching eside, mS count its
strokes, then my last minutes will
begin, one BY one TO depart. As they
60, this heart which now beats strong
,ly within me, will grow more feeblet
until the last pulsation is given, tand
all is at rest. How happy then to
feel, as the Oldlife is passing away, q
new, better nobler life is opening.
Just as how,it is pleasant to think
that when this hour is gone, and the
whole Of the year of 1857 is sealed up
in the past, there is q new year pres,
ent with all its opportunities for goods
all its hours Of communion with
Christ, and days to be given to the
service Of God, so after death there
will be new scene, an immortal
existence, through which my soul may
move in endless, inconceiyable joyt
serving God and enjoying him forever
more. es4l
Savior, in the, shadows of the last
hoar when my mortal life is ebbing
away, give me thy presence, and
