eide. There are two plans Of reconstruo-
tion-ono the Executive, the other the
House plan. The President issued seven
proclamations TO his Governors; what the
electors, and what their status is, The
House wishes to put these States back to
the same position they occupied in iooi'
The plan Of the President is worthy a
Nero and Caligula. An instance oc-
curred in New Orleans on the 3Oth day
Of July, 1866. Innocent men were
slaughtered, deliberate murder committed
and no man was brought to justice. be-

approval Of Heaven has smiled on oul
