Mr. Stevens' Plan of Itcconstf action.
As Tire bill Introduced by Mr. Stevens for
the reconstruction of the late Rebel States
promises to be the Important mcasuro of the
session, It may be well worth while to devote
some little attention to its provisions.
The preamble asserts that the eleven States
which lately formed the Government called
the "Confederate States of America" have
forfeited all their rights under the Constitu
tion, and can be reinstated in the same only
through the action of Congress. This em
braces essentially the ground upon which
rresldent Johnson based his right to recon
struct the fetate Governments of the South,
nis form ol expression was that the Rebel
lion had "destroyed all civil government" at
the South. Botn Congress and the Fres'dent
agree, therefore, that the Rebellion necessi
tated the creation of new Slate organizations
In the districts of country originally occu
pied by the loyal State Governments of the
South, and subsequently usurped by the un
constitutional and revolutionary Rebel State
organizations. This is a point of great Im
portance, and is the key really to the whole
struggle. It confines the question wholly to
the power and right of the rresldent, solely
and on his own motion, to organize States
and give them a constitutional status In the
Union. It is not at all a question as to the
effect of the Bebdllou upon the State organi
zations of the South, for both the Presi
dent and Congress agree that its effect was to
destroy those organizations.
This effectually does away with all the
metaphysical absurdities of "once a State
always a Si.afe," the acts of secession having
"no effect," and all that kind of talk. Both
parties start out from an acknowledged fact,
viz., the overthrow of all civil government
the abolition of all State organizations by
the Rebellion. The simple question remains,
What department of the Government Is au
thorized to reconstruct the South? Mr.
Stevens' bill asserts in its preamble that the
work of reconstruction belongs to Congress;
and it goes on to prescribe that the eleven
States lately In rebellion, except Tennessee,
may form valid State Governments in a cer
tain manner.
But here we are at the outset met with the
created In the late Rebel States. What shall
be done with them? Shall they be over
thrown, and no organizations at all be left, lor
the time being, In these States ? Mr. Stevens'
bill proposes no such thing. It simply recog
nizes tbe facts in regard to these organiza
tions, viz., that they were illegally formed in
the midst of martial law; that in many in
stances their constitutions were adopted
under duress, and not submitt?d to the people
for ratification ; but that they are de facto
governments, and are now to be by Congress
legalized as valid lor .municipal purposes
until they shall be duly altered.
The bill next provides for the organization
Ot loyal State Governments, to take the place
of these temporary municipal organizations
created by the President. To this end elec
tions are to be held in each of the ten unre
constructed States on the first Monday in
May, 1807, for the choice of delegates to
Constitut'onal Conventions, which are to
assemble at the former capitals of the respec
tive States on the first Monday in June, to
frame Constitutions which shall be submitted
to the loyal voters of the several States for
their ratification or rejection. The officers
for the conducting of these elections are to
be appointed by a Board ol three Commis
sioners in each State, which Board is to be
appointed by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The returns of the elec
tions are to be made to these Commissioners,
who are to grant certificates of election
to the members elected. So far the bill con
forms to the best precedents for the for
mation of State Governments in this Union,
and is altogether superior to the laws pre
earibed by President Johnson for the con
struction of his State Governments.
The next vital point that comes up is as to
who are to be considered ''the people" in the
formation of these State organizations. Here
Congress proposes to adhere firmly to the
principle so uniformly maintained throughout
the war, and by no one more conspicuously
than by President Johnson himself that the
loyal people, and they alone, are to be con
sidered as the people, for the purposes of
State organization. Hence the bill provides
that the right of voting and holding office
Shall be conferred upon all male citizens over
twenty-one yea's of age, of one year's resi
dence In the State anyl ten days in the elec
tion district, the term "citizen" to cover all
persons (except Indians not taxed) bora in
the United States or duly naturalized. All
persons who were ol full age on the 4th day
of March, 1861, and who have held office
under the Government called the "Confede
rate States of America," or sworn
allegiance to it, are declared to have for
feited their citizenship, and to have re
nounced their allegiance to the United
States,' ' and ' shall not be entitled to vote or
hold office until five years alter they shall
have filed their Intention or desire to be rein
Tested with citizenship, and shall swear alle
giance to the United Statesnd renounce all
jUlegiauce to all other gOYernmeata or pre
tended governments ; provided, however, tliat
such of the above as are otherwise qualified
shall be allowed to vote and hold office upon
taking an oath that, on the 4th of March,
1864, and at all times thereafter, they were
opposed to the continuance of the Rebellion
and the establishment of the Confederate Gov
ernment, and desired the success of the
United States, and would have complied with
the requirements of the proclamation of the
President of the United States, issued Decem
ber 8, 1803, could they have safely done so.
This is quite as liberal as those who have
participated in the Rebellion could expect .
It enforces no pains and penalties of confisca
tion or lha. like, but simply says to those who
voluntarily renounced their allegiance to the
United States, and adhered throughout the
war to the fortunes ol the so-called Confede
racy, that they cannot be restored to political
power without going throuih a probation and
formalities analaprous to those required of
foreigners applying for citizenship in the
United States. . .
There only remains to bo guarded the
republican character of the Governments
to be framed; and this is done by the simple
and ust requirement that the Constitutions
to be framed shall gnarantee an equality of
rights, privileges, and immunities to all citi
zens ot the State. When the Constitutions
shall have been presented to Congress, and
app oved by that body, the S tates will then
be declared entitled to all the rights and sub
ject to all the obligations of States In the
Union, and shall then, and not before, be
entitled to representation in Congress.
This is the simple, just, and comprehensive
plan proposed by Mr. Stevens for the recon
struction of the late Rebel States. We believe
it to be both right and practicable ; and we
hope that Congress will stand by th's mea
sure as a finality in regard to the vexed prob
lem which now agitates the nation.
The Veto Message.
The veto message of the President in regard
to the Suffrage bill in the District of Columbia
was expected, and therefore nobody is disap
pointed now that it makes its appearance. Its
arguments are specious but utterly untenable,
and are merely the old sophisms wherewith
unjust power seeks to perpetuate itself. The
constitutional right of Congress to regulate
the matter of the suffrage in the District
cannot be questioned. The only question that
remains is, whether the proposed exercise of
power accords with justice and moral right
The entire argument of the President on
this point is, that we must not do this act of
justice to the disfranchised people of the Dis
trict, because those who now have the power
there are opposed to it.
But this style of reasoning cannot be
allowed. No man is wronged because simple
justice is done to his neighbor. It the present
voting population of the District, or a majo
rity of them, are opposed to an act of simple
justice, tli at is no reason why the people of
the United States, through their Representa
tives, should hesitate to do It.
The truth is, the wishes of this faction of the
people of the District are entitled to but very
little respect. They were mainly a disloyal set
during the war, and had it been left to their
vote to decide, would have chusen Jeff. Davis
in preference to Abraham Lincoln.
1 he President's opposition to the extension
of the suffrage Is based upon the same
grounds wherewith the autocrats of the Old
World oppose the. extension ot the suffrage
there. They are good arguments for a
despotic government, but they are poor ones
for a republic. There is a certain risk in
allowing the people to vote, but it is a risk
which in republican forms of government is
assumed at the outset.

Sgf AMONG TUB MANY RESTORATIVES
wltlch nature has supplied to relieve the afflictions
of humanity, there is no more favorite one for a certain
chu.s of diseases than the "medicinal gum" of the Wild
thevrvtree; but however valuable it is, its power lo heal
to soothe, to relieve, and to cure is enhanced tenfold bv
scientific and judxlous combination with other ingre
dients, In Uiomsca JUl.t1uaI.wmlU. .lis happy min
gling exists to a remarkable decree In
DU. WISTIR'S BALSAM OF WILD C'HEKKY,
whose value In curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whoop

Incipient Consumption Is Inestimable.

"In the spr'ng of 1W8 1 was most severely afflicted with
a html, dry cuh, with its usual acooiopauimeuts of
ninltt sweats, completely p'oUrtttlng my nerou syatera,
and producing such a debilitated state of health thit, after
trying' medical aid to no purpose, I hud given up all hopes
of over recovering, us hud also my friends. At this stage
of mitlcrs 1 u as preva ica iipon.tnrouKii tue iiiuueitcc oi a
neighbor, to try Wl-tar's liabura of Wild Cherry, and, le
