' SCUEBIE.. It has been understood for some days past that the President and several of the Southern Governors whom he had summoned to his help, were incubating a new scheme of reconstruction. It is now announced that the process is com pleted. What has been concluded is this; that the revolted States shill estab lish suffrage without distinction of color, upon an educational basis of reading and writing and a property qualification of $11.50. It is expected that so many of the rebel States as shall consent to this, and incorporate it into their corporations, will be admitted to representation in Congress and have full amnesty extend ed to their inhabitants, The President will make this proposition to the next Congress., which will assemble' on the fourth of March; and hopes to the assent of quite a number of the Southern States by that time. Thls would, for the present, .at least, exclude more white people from suf frage than it would admit blacks, and hence would tend to concentrate politi cal power in fewer bands than. now con trol it. But the effect would be to stim ulate the acquisition both of property and education by whites and blacks alike... There are indications that in this race the blacks will surpass the poor whites. If this basis of adjustment shall . , be agreed upon there are many considera- tions which demand that it be made ap plicable to all the States 'alike, by an amendment to the Federal Constitution. It is desirable, in itself; to have but one rule of garage throughout the country, and' it is 01 the utmost importance if this plan of reconstruction shall be adopted, that none of the States re stored under it be at liberty to recede after Making the main point in their own behalf. .
