RECONSTRUCTION.

The Presidents New PIan-It is to be
Submitted to the Southern LegisIa-
lures at Once.
WASHINGTON, February 2.-The highly i'm
portant consultations which the President and
his Cabinet have been holding with leading
Southern men, on new plan for reconstruction,
and alluded TO last week in these dispatches,
ended last night in an agreement that a series
Of resolutions, drawn up at the conference in
favor of suffrage, based on reading and writing
and property qualification of $3.50, should be
submtted for adoption to the Southern Legisla-
lures, to pave the way for the submission OF the
question by the President in his message to the
Fortieth Congress.
These resolutions were sent to the Governors
of several of the Southern States to-day, accom-
panied by an advisory letter, stating that they
met the Presidents approval. The question of
Amnesty does not aPpear to have been an essen
tial feature Of the proposed plan. The Cover
nor of North Carolina was telegraphed tonight
to keep the Legislature in session to consider
these propositions, and similar messages were
sent to the Executives of Alabama, Georgia,
and Mississippi.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, left tonight
to submit the new plan to the Legislature of
his own State.--Nelc York World.

The Proposed SCulI Race for the Cham
piOnship-The PrelimInRries Arranged.

1t is understood that Mr.. Hamill has accepted
the challenge of Mr.. Walter Brown, of Portland,
to row five mile race for the championship OF
America and purse of two thousand dollars.
The race will take place at this city in May
next, Brown to be allowed three hundred dol
lars for expenses. The preliminaries were ar
ranged for Mr. Hamill by Mr.. Charles M. COlvin
of the New York Clipper and one-fourth OF the
amount of the stake was forwarded to the editor
of that paper yesterday. The race will probably
be one of the most interesting ever gIyenin this
country, and as it will attract a large number
of strangers to our city, our business men should
bear portion OF the burden, and at least pay
Mr.. Browns travelling expenses. - PatSburg Com.

alluding 10 the manner in which Vir-

movement against the will of a major
ity of the people, reviews the history
of the past two years, during which
time the Southern people had unwisely
conducted themselves in the most Of
fensive manner. He regrets the rejec-
tion of the constitutional amendment,
and anudes to q confiscation act fall
ing upon them, if they reject the pro-
posed measure. He wishes to escape
this danger. Three-fourths of the peo-
pie of Virginia were well disposed peo-
pie, and the cause OF Irritating pro-
ceeded from a few. He therefore.
urges the acceptance of the situation,
and the adoption of the course marked
out in the measure just adopted by
