The Southern Reconstruction Committee.
New York, February 6.-The Times
Washington special says: Southerners
who expected their reconstruction plan
would be acceptable to Congress, are
much mistaken, for there is only an in
considerable number who will accept
any modification of the original Consti-
tutional Amendment. It will be SUBJ
mitted to the Reconstruction Committee
to-day. The letter sent by the Gov
errors, with their plan, to the South
ern Legislatures, while it recommends
the adoption of the proposition, is de-
cidedly nou-committal. They say its
acceptance would virtually effect a com
promise between the President and Con-
cress, which they consider desirable. II
is known that the President telegraphed
as a private citizen to the Southern
Legislatures, urging them to adopt this
proposition. So far as heard from, the
Southern press are against the propo-
sition.
