HOW HE DISPOSES OF THE VEXED QUESTIONS, THE NEW INTERNAL REVENUE LAW. Cheering Reports from Louisiana and Texas. &e. &e. &e. Wasurrotox, April 29, 1866. THE REPORT OF THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE — 17S INCONSISTENCIES AND INCONGRUITIBS. The so-called report of the so-called Committee on Re- construction, which has been ostentatiourly given to the public in advance of ity submission to Congress, has ex- cited not a little comment today. It is everywhere looked upon. as a very diminutive animal to repay the long labor of the mountain, Common rumor attributes Ks production to Mr. Roscoe Conkling, Representative from th Oneida district of New Yerk, in conjunction with the massive intellect of the Chevalier Forney. Fes. senden, the chairman of the committee, has been too il} to prepare the report until quite recently, and then has been too much disgusted with the weakening of the knees of bis colaborers of the committee to have any. thing to do with it, Thad. Stevens trembled, too, greatly for tho salvation of the republican party, and had already intimated too much of a letting down to just fy the confidence of the majority. Conkling, therefore, as the third best man, secured the job. On its completion the extreme radical members agreed to it because they saw no hope of getting anything better, while the more moderate assented because of the apparent nothingness the scheme represents, Both wings of the party are out of humor and Jack satisfaction at this result of the extensive revearches and elaborate investigations of th's wonder! u! inqui@ion. What there ts in the report that Could Kot have been equally well deterininod without the ate }, delay and trouble of bringing bere from to. innumerable witnesses and subjecting - thew ty eudtons examinations is not apparent. The ob- Jeet of the formation of the committee was to rscertain ‘the condition of the Southern States and determine whether they aro entitled to representation in Congreas or not, The report, im so far as legislation is proposed makes no determination whatever of thiv matter. The radicals say the South is not now entitled to representa tion; the conservatives say it is. Tho report attempts a re- conc'Tiation of these antagonistic views by ignoring them eotirely. Each of the antagonistic parties clains that nothing is accomplished by the rcheme suggested, but 68 it docs not distinctly controvert ther opiuions and is the nearest to their peculiar ideas that can b» obtained, they subscribe to it, The amendment: to the constitu tion proposed are palpably contradictory. Tho firet prop- Osition covertly gives the allo’ to the negro, The Civil Rights bill having made hima citizen, or so declared him to be, this proposed amendment provides that—No Siate eal mako or eaforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States,” ke, which plainly means that black citizens as woll as white shall vote; bat the second proposition overturns this by declaring that “whe 9 the elective franchise shall be denied to as whieh of cour por iopiies that it may be so « the basis of representation shall be re consistency offhes» propositions needs no argument Tho third proposition is so direetly a partixan scheme to con m of ite mi citizens, uce The in. trol the next Con, onal and Presideutial elections that all parties uoite in simply laughing at it. Propomtion requires the asvent of two-thirds of the States for its adoption, and to sapposs that the eleven rebMiious States, or the half dozen Border 8t citizens were so largely mixed up in this Willing to vote their own disfranch tach a on whose nem, are ement in order to the privilege of sendiog some Northern adven to Congress to misrepresent them, is ab ty; but supporlng they should do wo, it ts logically argued that if the people of those States who partcipated in the rebellion are not now Nifled to enjoy tho right of suffrage, they will be no more fitted to enjoy the same right in 1870, no additional Jifleation being then requited. They eithor are or are not fit persons to If they are entitled to a vote thero can be no justice im withholding that right for four years. If they are not fit persons to onjoy thes right the mere lapse of time \s not calculated to remedy the difficulty. The fourth proposition, repudiating rebel cebte, has already been engrafted upou the constitutions of ail the Sates lately in rebellion. The fifth propo- sition is equally unnecersary, as Congress of course has the power to enforce any constitutional provision by ap. propriate legislation, and it i# it# duty so two do. The bills proposed by the committee for the farther enforcement of thelr ideas conta’ no very markéd pecoliaritie. The fret bil provides for admitting the Fouthern representatives when | thetr States shall have adopted the proposed amend ments to the constitution, and confers upon those Staten, with marked generosity, the groat privilege of ax suming their portion of the direct tax of 1861 which has | already been collected in most if not ail of thoee States, | but it is noticeable that this bill distinetly admits ihe | Matus of the Btates lately in rebellion as States, thus de eidedly ignoring the radical theory of their complete and total subversion and annihilation, and jn ng the very foundation principle of the reconstruction poliey marked out by President Lintoln and up to thin porseed by President Johnson, it admission that bas emanated from a ( in the most rewtonal committee and its adoption, it iw aed by ail legal minds either in or out of a | upsets and invalidates the a ented | scheme here proposed, The other bill ignores the par. | doning power of the Bxecutive and forever diefrane certain clames of poople in the South, mow of ‘were dintranehined by the 1 dent'* peace pro tom of last epring, subject to his clemency. and them forever incligiie to office under the govern This proposition in & more restricted form 1!) moot wii more general acenptance than the overs The fret tbr cinemas enomerated in the bili may Winey be diefron chiand, though it Will strike the thinking mind that there should be sathor ty left somewhere Lo remove the be» exceptional eases and for epse al reawnn Jority of Cee people will hardly admit that Alexand:, Stephens merita the name severity of pusithmen: © Jet.

It makes no excep- tions in favor of involuntary servitude, punishing the in- nocent alike with the guilty, the ignorant with the more wise and skillful plotter of treason. An additional sec- tion seems to be required to this bill to explain the fifth clasa, One of this class has already been found and bas suffered the extreme penalty of death for his crimes, Another cheated the gallows by dying before capture, and a third is already undergoing bis trial, with a fair Prospect that if found guilty he will follow the two above cited to that bourne whence no travollr returns, and where enfranchisement or disfranchise- ment can be of little avail to him; and if there bo any ‘more of this class outraged humanity will demand im- mediate strangling. ‘Thus this clase is disposed of with bo necessity for turther legislation by Congress. Throvghout the prosont most momentous session of Congress there has been no subject that has attracted 80 general interest as tho investigations of this com- mittee, and it was confidently hoped and anxiously expected by those who honestly differed with the Exceu- tive as to the pol cy to be pursued {n effecting the restora tion of the latoly rebellious States that some plan of ad- justment would be presented by this commitice that would commend itself to the judgment of all right thinking minds; but tho report has fallen like a wet blanket upon all these hopes, No one Is satis. fled with it except the two who are credited with its production, Even those who subseribe to it do #0 with a protest, and admit their disappointment, The intelligence of Congress, as well as sound reasoners and public men out of Congross, fail to see in the proposl tions submitted any approach to statesmanahip. It con- tainy sufliciont vitality to upset the President's scheme, though licking the essential eloments of a bettor, It is vindictive where magnanimity was expected to be dis- played, and where the popular mind had looked for and demanded forgiveness, It forces a doctrine upon the South so odious at the North that but two States have yet accepted it, and those but partially, It is defective in its construction, partisan in ite purposes, and dostruc tive of the welfare of the country in all its essential | sympathizing and noble aspe OUR BAN ANTONIO CORRESPONDENCE.
