STEVENS CoNFlscA ALTON BILL

STEVENS CoNFIsc ALTON BIL!.. A.
Il matter of curious information. We
give to our readers the following
abstract of the leading features OF
this bill:
''It contiscates all the public lands
belonging to the ten rebel States.
and all the lands and other property
forfeited by the Act of Congress Of
July II, 1S62-all which is TO be

The Tribume on thc Meeting.

The New York Tribune, under tie
head OF ''Ncw Socth Carolina, . says
The tilings we publish this morn
ing from the capital OF South Caro-
lima are calculated to astonish the
Rip Van Wrinkles Of the North. 4
great meeting OF the people has been
held, preliminary 10 the reconstruct
ton of the State under the recent
Act of Congress, and such eminent
chiefs of the late oligarchy as Gen.
Wade Hampton have fraternizcd
heartily with the most capable and
trusted negroes; the leading whites
and blacks vicing with each other in
expressions Of mutual confidence and
good will. The whites conceded to
the blacks every right which they
claim for themselves; while the blacks
take the lead in asking Congress to
repeal all disabling and disfranchis-
ing acts, so as to allow the State to
command Tie services Of her ablest
and most trusted citizens. In short,
South Carolina has already taken
her stand on the true, broad, gene
rous national platform of universal
amnesty with impartial suffrage, and
will soon be in Congress, shaming
the obstinate owls Of the Middle and
Western States out OF their lingering
prejudices and affections Of prejudice
against recognition OF the inalier-
able rights OF man.
Such is the natural, henifcent ope-
rations OF the reconstruction act Of
Congress, 50 fcrccly denounced by
the President and by the copper
head Congressman and journals as IN
act ''to organize hell" III the South,
to destroy liberty and to whelm the
whole land in anarchy and military
despotism. SO far as we now can
see, every eX-rebel State but Texas
will promptly and cordially re-or-
ganize on the basis proposed by Con
gress, and have its delegations ready
to take seats in Congress before the
close of this year. What patriot heart
does not swell with JOY and gratitude
at the prospect?

Provisions FOR THE SoUTH Tho
evidences axe unmistakable that there
should be 10 delay IN lorwur,ii.l- .l-g
provisions to the destitute portions OF
the South, and from no point can
any OF the greatest sufferers be more
readily reached than from Baltimore.
What it is stated in the following
that one railroad has determined to
do in bringing forward supplies, we
have no doubt that all the other
roads leading into Baltimore will
also be equally ready to undertake,
and IL these provisions can be sent
forward free of freight also, as init
mated. there is every inducement for
farmers and others having anything
to spare to hurry their contributions
to :his city:
BALTIMORE, March 16, 1867
i" tie Editors Of tie BalAmOre Sua:
Efforts are being made to send pro-
visions to the South. The Baltimore
and Philadelphia Railroad Company
VIII receive provisions along its line
Of railroad and furnish cars, If duly
notified, and bring the corn and meat
here without charge. Arrangements
viii be made here to send these pro
visions South without charge. 1t is
believed that similar arrangements
can be made along all the lines Of
railroads. If all the people of our
State Will promptly collect food and
send it forward, great relief will be
given. Many who cannot give money
may send bread and meat. We know
that many are suffering, and no time
should be lost, lest some should perish
before food can reach them. Provi-
sions forwarded TO Baltimore may be

LETTER FROM SENATOR SHERMAS-
We notice il the Macon JounM aud
Messenger, of the 10th, the following
letter to Col. W. K. DeGrafenrcid,
of that city:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER.
WAsHFSGroN, March u, 1867.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the Sth
instant is received. The bill Won re-
ferred to was passed in the earnest
hope that it would tend to the full
restoration Of all the States to all their
rights in the Union. The sixth sec
tlon l think too harsh, but it was put
in in the House as the result of opno-
sltlon from both extremes. At the
request Of large numbers from the
South, We are passing a supplements
ary act to provide machinery Of re-
construction. Tho original bill left
all this to each State, but there was
danger OF double organizations and
conventions, and, therefore, to avoid
further strife or difference, this new
act will be passed. 1t is merely a
scaiIolGing.
My earnest conviction is. that the
South should not forego this oppor-
tm!ty to be restored to reprcscnta-
ton; and You may rely upon it. that
laajority il both Houses VII ad-
here to this offer, and execute it III
good faith and to the letter, If vour
people viii DO likewise Neither sec
ton can be prosperous while the pre-
sent condition OF military Surveillance
prevails. You can do as You please
with THIS. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

Pennsylvnnia's Reply to Gorth Ca
rolina.

Pe"nsylvnnia's Reply to Gorth Ca
rolina.
AT the recent session of the North
Carolina Legislature, series of reso-
lutions were adopted, inviting all the
States-North, South, East and
West--to meet in national conven-
ton, for the purpose Of ''proposing,
in exact conformity with the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. such
amendments to the Constitution that
the result viii be such mutual con
cessions as viii lead to 4 restoration
OF our former happy rclations:'
Gov. Gcarv, of Pennsylvania, in a
recent message to the Legislature of
that State, acknowledges the receipt
OF these resolutions, and Says thss
under ordinary circumstances he
would be satisfied simply to submit
the communication without comment,
but, says he, when ''wc reflect that
the people OF North Carolina inviting
this assembly are not in full commu-
Mon with the loyal Statcs-that they
nave been for many years IN the habit
of looking with great Indifference
upon the national interests, and of
toleratinS djsloyalty ty-that through
out the thrilling and sanguinary war

most efforts to destroy the Constitu-
ton and the Union, and to establish
q hostile Government of their own
that they recently refused to ratify
the mild and wholesome amendments
to the Constitution-that Congress.
by the passage Of the reconstruction
Act, has made a salutary provision
for their future military government,
and for that of the other refractory
districts lately engaged III rebellion
Is not the presumption with which
these Cnrepcntant rebels and subiu-
gated traitors now ask for mutual
concessions surprising?
The people Of Pcnnsylvania have
always been loyal to the Government.
true to the Constitution and laws of
the nation, and have stood in the
foremost ranks of the defenders of
the Union. They have no conces-
slons to make-certalnly none to
those who have waged a troublesome
war, and who have been conquered at
the point Of the bayouet. The doc
trine is certainly abhorrent that de-
feated treason should ask the loval
men Of this country to meet them
upon equal terms in convention to
amend the Constitution they repu-
dated and attempted to destroy.
The guilty failure of those men has
assigned them to Il far different task
submission to the terms of the con
querors and obedience to that law
which we all obey
While Pennsylvania has no conces-
sions to make, her people, desiring a
speedy, just and proper re-adjustment
of all the States in the Union, ear
nestly bescech the citizens of North
Carolina, and Of all the Southern
States, to return without delay to the
benign influences of the Govern
mcnt, while yet the terms of such a
return are easy, and not to wait for
more severe conditions, and perhaps
for more serious punishment.

The Example of Wade Ham pton.

The Example OF Wade Hampton.
Under this caption the Richmond
Times comments:
Light upon the intricate problem
Of ''hotc to deal ,ciA tie f.eetlnen?" has
broken in upon US from a most un-
expected quarter.
Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
that Chevalier Bayard of the late
civil war, is destined to become as
distinguished as sagacious, practi-
cal statesman, as he was as a hero
when member of that intrepid band
OF great warriors, whose sabres once
flashed in the van Of the Army of
Northern Virginia
Comprehendin9 at q glance his
duty to the whites Of South Carolina,
he has sought to rescue the freedmen
OF that State from the Sr0e;lv clutches
of that base class Of white men who
are intent upon degrading and dis
franchising their own race. With
that promptness and sagacity. which
were his distinguished characteristics
as Il soldier, nc has recognized the
vital importance Of the negro being
advised, taught and guided by those
who are still his only sincere and true
friends. Calling to his aid the gen
tlemen of the highest social position
near Columbia, he is reported to
have addressed the freedmen Of that
section with great elect, and has
forestalled that class Of wrctches who
are giving us SO much trouble in this
State.
In consequence of the prompt
action of Wade Hampton and Of the
respectable planters of South Caro-
lima, the most friendly relations are
said to exist between tie whites and
blacks, and the latter have declared
their determination not only to sup
port for Office the most respectable
candidates, but also to petition Con-
gress for the restoration to the dis
franchised classes of all their civil
rights.
This happy result does not at all
surprise us. Whenever the men of
character and substance at the South
have acted as Gen. Hampton has
done, they have routed the ''mean
whites who are now corrupting the
negroes.
AS early IS the 18th of July, 1865,
this paper commended the example
of Mr.. ]. L. Marye, of Fredericks-
burg, who pursued the course which
Hampton has just taken. The
influence Of his timely address and
example is still felt inlts conservative
effects upon the blacks of that place.
They are said to have recently
rejected the advances of the dis
franchising white renegades.
Let us hope that the most dis
tlnSuished and effective speakers in
this State will at once initiate the
timely example Of Hampton.
The dlsenthralment of the negro
from the pernicious influence of the
depraved men who are now endeavor-
ing to array his preiudiccs against us,
should be the special task of our
most gifted and respected leaders and
statesmen. What greater and more
important service could men like r..
NJ. L. Hunter, Ii. ~ Wise, William
Smith, Thomas S. Bocock, John
Letcher, Thomas S. Flournoy, James
Scddon, William l.. Goggin, Walter
Staples and a host of other effective
and able speakers, render the white
race in Virginia, than to enlighten
the poor blacks as 20 their duties and
true interests? The time has ar
rived when the example of Wade
Hampton should be universally imi-
tatcd.
