The passage by the Seuate inst even! ingot the Honse amendments to the Senate’ ment to Mr. Stevens’ Military Government Di for the Seatbern Suived, virtaally setties the form of government yader which the work of their reconstruction shall be daly initiated Tt went to the President i time for Gongress to pass it over a vero, if be elects 80 te act upon it Mr. Reverdy Johnson very sensibly and pi tivticaily gaye it bis support in preference to leaving the subject matter unsettled by this Congress, which would have been the greatest calamity that could have beiailea the exeladed class sof the people of the Soutb, who have ‘ar more to hope from any settlement of the reconstruction question at this time than from lenying the matter longer open. Under gov. erpments establismed under this bill, it cannot fail to be a mere question of brief time when every man at the South not obnexious a8 an orginal conspirator to cestroy the Union, or as @ leading engi- neer of the rebellion, will be restored to all Tights of citizenship, if manifesting a dispo- sition to sustain hereafter the authority of tbe General Government and to aceept in good faith the changes in tae Svath’s iusututioas that bave inevitably resulted from the abortive rebellion. If the plan fiually adopted be harder on that class of persous at the South than that embraced in the Senate's proposition—as it clearly is—the Democratic party of the House are to be thanked by that class for its adoption. it'was in their power to have secured the adoption of the latter plan, whieh (it appears to be generally understood) the President would have accepted. The Democrats, how- ever, insisted om playing longer with the re- coustruction question as a party foot ball, ut- terly repardle:s of the conditions and interests of the Southera people.
