TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 19G7. Tbe New Ilotonst ruction Scheme. From the circumstantiality with which the new scheme of reconstruction was set forth In our Washington despatches yesterday, we are led to conclude that the movement means something. Anything which promises to bring the nation and the late Rebel communi ties into better relations Is so far to be coin mende d. An effort on the part of the South to accommodate itself, even In a small degree, to the public sentiment of the North, la a hopeful sign. It is certainly better than that sullen, dogged persistency which reluses to recognize the gravity of the situation, or to take any means for its amendment. It Is a concession at last that something more must be done before the work of reconstruction shall be completed. It recognizes, too, If we may assume this new movement to be in earnest, that the war has made great social changes which must be respected, and find expression in the constitutions and laws of the Southern States. The plan, as nearly as we can gather it from the Somewhat meagre despatches, is lor the so-called Legislatures of the late Kebel com munities to pais resolutions indorsing "im partial suffrage" based on the qualification of the electors being able to read and write, and being possessed of two hundred and fifty dollars' worth oi property, and then for the President to recommend these resolutions to the new Congress, which assembles on the fourth of March next, as a basis of recon struction, instead of the pending Constitu tional amendment If this scheme means to make the above qualifications truly impartial that is, to apply them to all voters within the late Rebel States then a long step may at once be made towards a satisfactory adjustment of our present difficulties. But if it means that they shall be applied only to the popula tion of African descent, while others who Can neither read nor write, and who do not own two hundred and fifty dollars' worth of property, are to be allowed to exercise the elective franchise in other words, if a dis tinction in political rights is to hi made on account of race then the scheme amounts to but very little, and will not satisfy the public mind . Practically it would exclude almost the entire colored population from the ballot box, and that, too, under circumstances of hardship and Injustice. Just escaped from a lile-long bondage, in which they were denied all means of education, and every possibility of acquiring property, it would be exceed ingly unjust to require ot them alone both knowledge and wealth as a prerequisite to the exercise of the elective lranchise. Still, as we have before said, we wekaome this indication that the South is wi'ling to do something. "It is the first step that costs." We cannot expect the wide chasm which separates the ideas of slavery and full politi cal enfranchisement to be crossed at a leap. The prejudices of a whole generation cannot be changed in an instant. We must rejoice at the first faint streaks of da wn that break upon the blackness of night. The morning does not come all at once, but when the light begins to break' then we know that the morn ing is at hand. The Proposed New Amendment. Fuller particulars in regard to the newly proposed scheme of reconstruction show it to consist of a proposed amendment to the Con stitution of the United States, providing First, that no State shall withdraw Irom the Union or be ejected Irom it, or deprived of its equal suffrage in Congress; secondly, that the public debt shall remain Inviolable, and no debt incurred in aid ol insurrection against the United States shall be paid by the general Government or by any State; thirdly, that all persons born or naturalized in tbe United States shall be citizens both of the States and the nation, and shall ba en titled to the equal protection of the laws ; and fourthly, that the basis of representa tion in any State that denies the right of suffrage to any of its citizens on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude, shall be reduced by the number of the entire class thus excluded. Further, it is proposed that the Constitutions of the States lately in rebellion shall be amended so as to extend the suffrage o all male citizens of full age, not now entitled to the same, who may bo able ts read and write, or who shall be possessed of two hundred and fifty dollars' worth of taxable property. This scheme, it will be seen, comprises most of cbe features ot the amendment now pro posed, except that one depriving certain classes of tbe late Rebels from holding office. It also adds some features peculiarly its own, such as that referring to the secession or ex pulsion of States. Tbe Fortieth Congress. At the close of each Congressional term one third of the Senate go out of office. Such will, therefore, be the case on the Sd of March next. The elections for the vacancies thus made have all been held, we believe, and the result is that in the Fortieth Congress the Senate will consist of forty Republicans and twelve Democrats and Johnsonites. Tbe Senate now stands, Republicans, thirty-eight, Democrats and Johnsonites fourteen. The political changes are, Cowan (Democrat) of Pennsylvania, succeeded by Cameron (Repub lican); Crcsweil (Ropub.), of Maryland, suc ceeded by Swann (Dem.) ; Nesmith (Dcm.t , of Oregon, succeeded by Corbott (Bcpub.); McDougall (Dem.), of California, succeeded by Cole (Rcpub.) The other now members are O. F. Morton, of Indiana; Charles D. Drake, of Missouri ; Roscoe Conkling, of New York; Orris S. Ferry, of Connecticut ; James Harlan, of Iowa; James W. Patterson, of New Hampshire; and Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont Senators Davis, Howe, Sherman, Trumbull, Pomeroy, and Nye have been re elected. The new House of Representatives, as far as elected, stands 127 Republicans to 30 Democrats. Eighty-nine of these are mem bers of the present House. Among the new members are such men as Generals Butler, Logan, Waahbui ne, and Dodge, and Messrs. Judd, Blair, Covode, and Van Wyck; while among those who retire are Kasson, SHIlwell, Hubbell, Delano, Farquhar, Kuykcndall, Latham, Whalcy, and Raymond, Messrs. Morrill, Patterson, and Conkling, of the present House of Representatives, take seats in the Senate on the 4th ot March. Senator Poland goes to the House. As a body, the Fortieth Congress will be an abler one than Is the Thirty-ninth. Some of the strongest men in the nation will be among its members, and it will come fresh from the people as the latest representative of their will. Proposed Kcmoval of the Nuval Academy Ox motion of General Schenck, of Ohio, the House of Representatives esterday, by the overwhelming vote of 108 to 35, adopted the following resolution : Jiesolved. That the Committee on Naval Af. fairs he lusli u led to Inquiro into Mm propriety of an Immediate removal of Mie United Suites avai Academy irom 1U present locatiou In the State of Maryland, to some nolnt In a loval State where the pupils of the Institution will be secure against the surroundings of political and social influences hostile to the National Government, wliluli now predominate at An napolis, aua retort by bill or otherwise. As Maryland has passed completely into the hands of the class of men who murdered our soldiers in the streets of Baltimore,in April, 1861, we trust the removal contemplated in the above resolution will be Immediately made. Let us have our young men educated under such influences as will not make trai tors ot them in the hour of danger. The Anti-Contraction Resolution. The House of Representatives yesterday put at rest, for the present, the question ot con tracting the currency, by the passage of the following resolutions : Jiesolved, That the public Interest demands that there snail not, .luring the. current year, be liny reduction of the amouut of outstanding United Sttiles notes, commonly called "green backs." Itetolved, That the Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to report such a bill as may be necessary to effect this object. This action of Congress has already im parted a better feeling to busiuoss circles, as is witnessed in the rise of stocks. It may safely be assumed that there will be no imme diate contraction of the currency. 1 he Tribune this morning publishes the following editorial, which only confirms what we have long since believed. The man '"Brick" Pomeroy as he calls himself, Is a vul gar braggart, who admired the assassination of President Lincoln, and whose contempt ible position was his only protection from arrest : We lately heard with some surprise that General Butler hud sued for libel the Western miscreant who openly threatened President Lincoln with assassination, and who was a tool of the Rebellion throughout, laying his damages atglUO.UOU. We judge it perfectly easy for the worthless fellow to prove, if placed on his de fense, ihatuothluc he might say could possibly Uamuge any one lo the amount of half a dune, postal currency. We are glad to learn by the lollowiug card that General liutler has perpe trated uo such folly as has been asserted: "To the ljlitur of the Mew York Tribune: "Mi: Jlay I ask you to stamp u lorgery?

'tw York, February 4. IsttT." LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Ludlow. Prison cases are before the Court. John Dull'ey plead guilty to a charge of assault and battery upon Catherine Conner. Mrs. Conner was one day sitting in her room nursing her child, when Duriey entered, saying if eoe did not leave the place he would put her out. She said some thing to Mm, and he struck her several blows. Duriey said he had rented Mrs. Conner bis back kitchen, she being out of a homo, aud she dis turbed the other inmates of tbe house by eoil inu the clothes they bad washed. Mr. Dutley remonstrated with her, and said if she didn't do better he would have to turn her out. She in stantly struck him in the mouth, and ne in the heat ot the moment returned the blow. The Court this morning was very much em barrassed in be in a unable to get any business whatever on. Tne old business lying over from last term it was attempted to resume this morn ing, but in nearly every case tbe witnesses aud prosecutors were present, but delendants were absent. Therefore, the jury were discharged, and the court adjourned until Thursday morn ing, w hen, by the very best efforts of the offi cers, it is hoped the business will go on.

The London TPeqraph sv that tbe Isle of Man, which isonlj thirty miles long and nine wide, and contains about fifty thousand Inha bitants, has Just beei the scene of a revolution quite i a? i remarkable iorits enective character as tor the bloodless an quiet manner in which it ba been brought about. The Government of the Island U vested in two bodies. The uppt r house Is called the Council, and ronnUts ot the two Deemsters, or Judges, tbe Clerk ot the Rolls, the Attorner-General, the Vicar-General, the Water Bailiff, and the Bishop and Archdeacon ol the diocese. This Council Is presided over bj the Lieutenant Governor of the l'land. Tbe lower house Is quaintly designated the House ol Kejs. This bojy Is so ancient tnat it is now impoasihlp io assien a date to Its or!pn. It consist" of twentv-iour members and n Speaker. Ira mou curious feature is the fact that it ha been, until the last year, a close corporation, tilling; all var.au cesbyavote of the House. This anomalous Government, existintr under the British crown, and within eli hours' sail of Liverpool, had of late years become very dlstaiteful to the Wanders, and repeated efforts bad been made by local reformer to briofr about a reform. Tliepe, honever, were unavailing, and the Manxmen owe their present enjoyment of tne tranciiihe to au ill-advised set of the House of Kcjsiti-elf. That aiienm body took oUse at some criticipms In a local newspaper, and sen tenced the unfortunate journalist, without any trial, to six months' imprisonment In tbe oM Danish tort known as Castle Rushen. This matter was tuken up by the English press, and the iouina'.iat was released, after somethine more thnn a month's imprisonment, by a writ of htibea cr rpus from the Queen's Bench. Ti e Lieutenant-Governor, wbj had loner de sired to biiiig about a reform, promptly availed himcelf of this opportunitv. He introduced. I some months Heo. into the insular legislature a j bill, the object oi which was to effect a com I plete chance in the constitution ol the House, by Importing the elective francbi-e into tbe I it-laud. The Keys mid their few friends stood I aehaxt at this sweeping measure: but notwith standing tbeir determined opposition, tne bill has passed through its various stages, and bus now become tbe law of the island, haviuor been formally promulgated. This promulgation must be a curious ceremony. All the consti tuted authorities assemble for divine service in the Church of 8t. John tbe Baptist, in tne centre o) the island, and at the termination of tbe service they form into procession, and march to a very ancient artificial mound, called Tyn waldbnl, said lo have beeu constructed hun dreds of years ago by the Scandinavians. From the top of this mound the act is read in the English and Manx languages, aud then it be comes law. The Montana Gold Mines. . The St. Louis Republican ptves recut in formation about Montana affairs, derived frutu a Mr. Wbitlatch, who leit the mines on the :d of last month. Up to the tune when he left Helena very little snow had fallen, (in the mountain range t bis side ol Virclnia City the snow was three or fj ir feet deep. , Passengers nnd mail-were tranponed bv the stage com pany in sleieh, the i leigbiug being admirable, rfitii8uo all the way from Salt Lake to Fort Briger. Mr. Vbititch has been for two years in Montana, engaged in mi bin a. He car ried with nun the experience of two or three years' prospecting and labor amone tbe mines of Colorado. He represents the mineral nebes of Moii'aLa to be very great, superior lo any thing he saw in Coloraoo or Nevada. Titey were widely dnfujed tbrouph tbe Territory, very small portions ot them having b-eu de veloped. The quartz lodes are unusually rich. The tide of immigration to that region is large. American Tradluff with Borneo. In connection witn the extension of our inter course with China by tbe new steamships of the Pncitic. Mail line, it is of interest to our mer cbunts to kuow that Abdul Mumtne, Sultau ot Borneo, has granted to Americans under tbe title ot the -'American Trading Company of Borneo," the eutire northern portion of the Isliuid of Borneo, together wi'h thre? adjacent Clauds; supreme poer and jurisdictiou over the property and inhabitants thereof being vested iu the t'resideut of tne above company, under the title of Rajah of Ambong aud Maroodu, with power of lite and death over the inhabitants. Tne company also possesses the rights of property vested in the Sultan, and the rluhte of maKiug law, coining money, creating an army aud navy, levying customs rates on loreieu vessels or people, and taxes on the In habitants of Borneo. This new opening in Borneo affords a rich field for American enter prise. "Ferocious An:mals" i.i the Potato Here is an alarming statement from a Paris journal, La 1'atriPi "The microscope reveals to us tbe existence of a stua'l black soot of tbe diameter of a pin's head in the potato. In tnis small space can be delected some two hundred fero cious animals of a coleopteric form, which bite and tpar each other with continued fury. It is easy to comnrebend the potato disease when such an intestine wariare is raging." A Warning It has been discovered at the General Post Office, in England, that tnauv per sons in the United States are in the habit of seudhiff over to that country sums of niouey wrapped in npw&oapers. Inconsequence of the existence of this practice, American papers are now examined at St. Martin "s-le-Grand. It is impossible to examine every paper; hut selec tions are made at London, and frequent seizures are the result. SPECIAL NOTICES. NEWSPAPER ADVKimSING.-JOV, COE & CO.
