ruin known as the Aqueduct Bridge upon which
thousands OF persons daily risk their lives. Resi-

themselves on either side of the question whether
the present site or new should be selected,
and made it quite apparent that there is no hone
of an agreement The Commissioners will for

A CHANGE OF POLICY.

upon very liberal terms, II they would
make personal application for It, dealing
with them in as generous a manner as
might seem consistent with the facts OF
the case and the peace and dignity Of
the United States"
II was his plan, as IT had been Mr.
l.incoln's. to set up new governments ia
the South by as simple and expeditions
d process as possible.
He knew as well as any man the prac-
teal details of what Mr.. Lincoln had
meant to do. for he had himself been
Mr.. Lincoln's agent in putting his plan
of reconstruction into execution in Ten
nessee.
Each State was to have a provisional
governor, appointed by the President
who should be authorized TO summon 3
constitutional convention. to be chosen
under its old laws of suffrage by such of
the voters of the State as would take the
unqualified oath OF submission and al
leGiance prescribed by the proclamation
of amnesty.
1t had been Mr.. Lincolns wish to in
clude among the voters such freedmen
as could read and write and those who
had served in the federal armies; Mr..
johnson confined his view TO the white
men qualified under the laws of their
States as they had stood in the spring
of 1851
Conventions made up of and selected
by those who were willing and were
permitted to take the oath offered were
to be given full power to recast their
state constitutions and set their state
governments in order for the final with
drawel of the federal troops and the fed
cral superintendent. provided only that
the voters actually enrolled should num-
Der at least one-tenth OF the total num-

A few weeks changed the whole aspect
of affairs.
Mr.. johnson retained Mr. Lincoln's
cabinet unchanged. More than that. he
kept to the plans Mr.. Lincoln has made.
Perhaps his judgment was cleared by
sudden access of responsibility; no doubt
his knowledge OF the southern people
enabled him to see, more clearly even
than Mr.. Lincoln had seen, the healing
and beneficent effects of a plan of recon-
struction which should make as little of
the antagonism and 3 much of the COM
munity of interest between the sections
as possible: for he acted upon experience,
Mr.. Lincoln only upon the instinct OF a
natural leader of men.
No doubt men whom he trusted gave
him moderate counsel and instructed his
will. Whatever the forces that ruled
him. he proved at once that he meant
to take no radical course of his own,
but would follow in Mr.. Lincoln's foot
steps.
On the 29th of May he issued his own
proclamation of amnesty.
Its terms were substantially the terms
of Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation of 1863.
The list of those excluded for the time
being was little extended. Besides
persons still prisoners of war. those who
had held the pretended Offices of gov
errors of States in instruction against
the United States" graduates Of the
military and naval academies who had
been officers in the confederate service,
those who had engaged in the destruc-
ton of the commerce of the United States
in aid of the Confederacy,-whom Mr..
Lincoln had not specifically included IN
his catalogue of exclusions,-he added. as
II to please himself and satisfy mis- in
stinct OF class. all participants In seces-
sion whose taxable property exceeded
twenty thousand dollars in value.
But even to those thus specifically
excepted he promised to extend Clemency
