The lev Scheme for Beeonctrae
tioa-
TW tefegrepk v**y briefly informed
«*. a few darn aye, of anew scheme for
recoaatrsetioß, embracing amnesty sad
suffrage. which bad bees proposed si
Washington, by leading politicians of all
parties. Tke Sew York Itmas of the
2slh insL, fi'cs the following aa the
plani. extenso, aad that our readers
may tke better aadentand it, we give it
ia foil. This plan, it will be observed.
paU the rights of suffrage upon aa
edocatioual qualification, and would ex
clude the ignorant negroes of the South,
and the ignorant white* of the North
alike from rating. The subject is one I
of considerable interest, and is worthy !
ot consideration. There has got to be
a settlement of some kind, for the
country cannot stand the present state
of affairs mnch longer; and we can only
hope tbit that settlement, when made,
will be as '-arambie as possible to our
section. This is the proposed plan :
Earir in November last I into'med
you that leading politicians of the North
and South Republicans, Democrats
and ex Rebels alike—bad beer; iu con
ference ujon a plan, whereby, should it
be adopted, it was believed the unfortu
nate differences between the North and
Sooth, and between the Executive and
Legislative branches of the Government
would be satisfactorily adjusted; and 1
also informed you that these gentlemen
were urging the President to adopt this
scheme, and recommend it to the favor
able consideration of the Sr uth. Sus
frage and amnesty formed the bssis of
that : reposition. Mr. Johnson gave to
the suggestions of these patriotic gent'e
ud> the most careful and sincere con
sideration, and was &t once favorably
impressed with them. But inasmuch
as the Amendment to the Constitution
was then before the people, aud its
adoption or rejection undecided, the
President deemed it impolitic, if not ab
solutely improper, to present the matter
to the country, believing as he does, and
he has acted upon this belief, the asser
tions to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Southern people should decide upon
the proposed Amendment without let or
hindrance from the Executive. The
time bag come when it may be safely
assumed that the Constitutional Amend*
incut will fail to receive the ap
proval of the Southern States,
aad upon this assumption Mr. Johnson
is considering the propriety of giving
his approval to the main features ot the
scheme first above mentioned. And of
recommending its adoption by the South
ern States, in deference to the demand
ot the people of the North, and in which
Southern Representative men who have
been heard upon the subject acquiesce.
The President thinks that the negro
population of the South should Lave
such safeguards thrown about them as
to secure to them the permanent enjoy
ment of their freedom and of all civil
rights. The negro, armed with the
ba.lot, can a, well protect himself as
any other citizen. As Mr. Johnson in
terprets the Constitution, he does not dis
cover any power in the General Govern
ment to legislate upon the subject of suf
frage iri the States, iu whom rests the
exclusive control of the matter? Some of
the Northern States, Massachusetts
aud New York, for example, have given
the ballot to the negro. In one of them
is an educational, iu the other, a pro
perty. qualification, and it is asked why
may not South Carolina, for instance,
be placed upon the same footing with
Massachusetts, aa to those who shall
hereafter be admitted to the elective
franchise, and why may not the loyal
representatives of the former be ad
mitted to Congress upon the same foot
ing as the representatives of the latter.
Working out this plan in a practical
form, let the people of the State of
South Carolina so amend their Consti
tution and laws as to extend the elec
tive franchise so for as Massachusetts
has done. As an incentive to this re
form, the President intimates his readi
ness to issue a proclamation of amnesty
to all the people of South Carolina who
may have approved the movement.
This reform accomplished, the people
ot that Slate elect loyal representa
tives to Congress, blacks voting with
whites, ns indicated above. It would
then rest with Congress to determine
whether these representatives should be
admitted. I have good reason for say
ing that this plan for adjusting the ex
istiug difficulties in the way of recon
structiou, is now receiving the serious
consideration of the Administration, and
has been discussed iu Cabinet with n
view to its adoption. It differs from
Mr. Greeley's amnesty suffrage scheme
in this, that it provides for separate
State action and proposes a qualified
suffrage, and it leaves impracticable and
uurepeolent rebels subject to the penal
ties ior treason, amnesty and suffrage
being qualified. It leaves States to the
exercise of 'their constitutional preroga
tive of prescribing the qn- !,fictitious of
voters add 'extending the elective fran
chise to the negro, To the executive
the dispt-usation of pardon dbd amnesty,
aud to the Legislative the admission oi
loyal representatives to (he respective
houses of Congress. Each branch of
the Government thus harmoniously
moving in it* appropriate sphere.

Aid to U« South.
Tb* prop)* of Now York (Sty actua
ted by tbo spirit of Charity nod* frater
nal regard foe the poople of the South,
bora taken measure* to give eoese relief,
ia a tangible ahape, to tbafefferia* poor
of this section. There are number* in
various portions of the Sooth who ore
really snfferiug for tho want of the
necesanrits of lifb; nnd to aid them is
to perform n work of charity indeed.—
The coarse panned by New York City
is one well calculated to awaken the
gratitude of our people, and to restore
the bond* of aalioaai fellowship suu
dered by the late war, and the asperities
which follow:
The New York Time* of the 26th
insu, ia its notice of this movement has
the following kindly remarks:
Aid roa ths Soot a. — To-morrow
nigkt a grand mass meeting will be held
at Cooper Institute in response to a call
signed by many of our beat known and j
most respected citizen*, the object of l
which ia to Uke prompt measures for
the relief oi people of the South now
suffering from the want of the necessa
ries of tile, in consequence of the
almost total foilure of tbeir crops, in
addiliou to the devastations of war.
Snrely this is an object deserving of
universal sympathy, calling for the im
mediate attention of every generous na
ture worthy of the serious effort now
; being made by the gentlemen who sign
the call. The reports that come to us
from our correspondents, aud confirmed
by the observations of travellers and
traders, iodieaie a state of destitution
ia the Southern States of which we can
torm the merest idea.
The undeniable facts of poverty, pri
vation, destitution in every form, scarci
ty, no* of money aloue, but of clothing,
outer and under garments, forming uten
sils, boots and shoes, even in many in
staaces food and shelter itself, stare os in
the face, aud thus for mutely but power
fully appeal for succor and relief. The
silence of the Southern people is met in
some instances by our platitudinarian
philanthropists with “if they are too
proud to beg let them starve-/' and agaio,
when an occasional petition has found
its way to the hard heads of the same
genus, they reply, ‘‘we have quite
enough to do to attend to ouroyrn poor.”
This spirit is neither Christian nor hu
mane, nay more, it is thoroughly un-
American. We owe it to ourselves, to
our reputation abroad and our consci
1 cnee at home to extend the helping
hsud, aud afford the needed relief to our
brethren who, though misguided and
re kless heretofore, are none the less
sick imd in trouble now. Let the dead
bury its dead, and the bring care for
the living.
An appeal in behalf of struggling
Greece is met at once whh judicious
liberality ; the Cretans, in their despair,
turn confidently to America; missionary
associations for every class and coudi
tiou of men on the round earth are sup.
ported by the money of New York, aud
it wiil hever be said, we are .sure, that
the metropolis of they nation, the great
City of the continent, was deaf to the
cries ol its own neighbors, or turned
lull-banded uway from the naked and
the hungry of its own name.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher will ad
dress the meeting on this occasion, and
we are confident be will stir the assem
blage with the warm pulsations of his
generous nature to the present and per
mnnent assistance of those for whom he
pleads. Politics, we are pleased to
state, have nothing to do with this mat
ter or this meeting. It is simply n
question of humanity—simply a matter
of bouest, honorable, manly help for
thousands of naked, starring, helpless
m< ,i, women, and children.
And the New York Herald of the
same date says:
Charity at Home asd Abroad. —ls
charity should begin at home it need
not end there. Oar citizens may well
respond heartily to the appeals which
wiil be made to them at the Cooper In
stitute to night in behalf of the destitute
at the South, aud to-morrow night in
behalf of the sufferers by the insurrec
tion in Crete. At ihe time when such
heroes as Marco Bozzaris. such philan
thropists as l>r. Howe, such poets as.
Byron and Fitz Greene Halleck, and
such orators a Clay, Webster, and Ev
erett, had awakened universal interest in
the cause of the Greeks, the shrill voice
of John Randolph was once raised in
Congress to remind his hearers “There
are Greeks at our own doors!” This
exclamation may he repeated now with
equal truth. Without lessening sympa
tby with the Candidates, it should quick
en our sympathy with “the Greeks at
our own doors,” with the freezing and
starving poor, with penniless widows and
orphans at the South and in this me
tropolis.
The Philadelphia Convention
The Macon Gettryia Citizen says that
“most of the papers of Georgia and the
South that went in so strougly for the
Philadelphia Convention, last summer,
are now condemning the practice of dirt
taliny with much zeal and unction.—
Having had tbeir political digestion im
paired by the practice, they are the
proper ones to give advice against its
contin nance.’
Good for you, Doctor. Your own pa
per, the Augusta Comtitulionalut, the
Augusta Daily Press, and the Daily
Adxertiaer , were the only papers in this
State, that we now recollect, which took
grounds against that Convention, as
being not only inexpedient, but unwise.
The resalt has shown that the minority
was correct. The editor of the Consii
tutwnalist—Salem Dutcher, Esq.,—a
ready and vigorous writer, lost his situ
ation on account of his opposition to
that Convention ; the other papers we
have named lost popularity and patron
age ; but events have proved that we
were right. The Convention was worse
than useless—it was a positive injury to
us.— Oar. Daily Adveiiiscr.
We are gratified at the course which
we pursued in regard to that convention,
because time had shown that we, in
common with the few papers which
then agreed with us, were correct in the
position which we then assumed. It is
true, we should have rejoiced if the
convention had been successful and
settled all our National difficulties; but
“dirt eating” did no good then and will
do no good now. There can be no benefit
from a National Convention, called for
the purpose of organizing new parties.
The whole subject is now in the hands
of Congress, aud with that power we
must treat for a settlement of our politi
cal troubles. That we hope we shall be
able to do without “eating” a great deal
of “dirt."

Letters fro* •* lx-Aobol, to
Hob. Horace Greeley and Her.
Henry Ward Beecher.
IVMIES L
Sir* t Os all the prominent men at
the North, who advocated and main
tained the principles which the people
of the Sooth considered so destructive
of tbeir interests and right* that they
appealed to the ultima ratio regime in
their defence, you are now, in my
opinion, the oalf men ot influence who
have the power and the will to calm
the storm which you helped to raise,
and who, bearing no malice or hatred
in your hearts, have the disposition and
the courage to use the strength which
the fortune of war has given to your
section to restore the Union without
destroying the liberties of ooe third ot
it* members. The Creator ha* en
dowed you both with intellectual gifts
of the highest order. Your talents have
raised you to positions of extraordinary
power and influence. You are both in
daily intercourse with thousands of your
fellow citizens who look up to you,as
their instructors. There is not a word
you speak, nor a line you write, which is
not heard or read with faith in its wis
dom and truth by the masses who re.
cognize and submit to your guidance.
I Your respective congregations believe
in you as they do in the Gospel, which
one of you preaches, and your com
bined influence is, therefore, greater
than that of any hundred men in your
party.
Convinced, as I am, of yonr capacity,
power with the masses, and benevolence
of heart, I address you, in behalf of
that portion of the Republic which you
call the “Rebel States,” ia the earnest
hope that, however widely we may differ
on political questions, and however
irreconcilable oar views on the matters
relating to the great contest between
our respective sections, we may meet
and join hands for the attainment of
that holy aspiration of every Christian :
“Peace on earth, good will toward
man.”
I believe implicitly in the sincerity of
your convictions, and that the political
doctrines which you advocated so per
sisteutly, and which have prevailed to
an extent beyond your expectations,
were prompted by your honest persua'
sion that you were right. My convic’
lions were diametrically opposed to
yours, my advocacy of my opinion was
as persistent as yours, aud though they
have been overborne, my belief that I
was right, was as sincere as yours.
For what I am going to say to you I
ask a patient hearing, I ask you to
give me credit for sincerity, to believe
that 1 am not actuated by any partizan
or sectional feeling (I mean in a hostile
sense of the latter term), aud wLeu 1
call things, as I think, by their right
names, do not suppose that I mean to
be offensive, or to wound the feelings of
anybody, but that I do so frura the same
motives which animate the surgeon who
uses the knife, or actual cautery to
benefit his patient. I mean no dis
courtesy iu addressing you through the
columns of a newspaper. On the con
trary, it is because 1 so fully recognize
your prominence, I choose this mode of
communication, that in addressing you
I may also reach others, oi whom yon
are the leaders ; I write over an assumed
signature, because my name would not
add any weight to the statements I
make, or the arguments I use; and,
because I do not seek nor desire pub
licity.
Whatever may be the opinions to
which the (assion engendered by war,
or the elation of victory has given rise
aud established concerning the right of
a State to secede from the Union, and
whatever of crime failure may have
attached to the exercise of that supposed
right, you know and will admit that from
the foundation of the Government to the
day of General Lee’s surrender at Ap
pemattox Court House, the existence of
the right was almost universally claimed
by the South, was asserted aud threat
ened to be enforced by more than one of
the States of the North, and was advo
cated aud defended by a large number
of the citizens ot your section, many of
whom are now prominent among those
who swell the cry of Fa victii. This
fact may not be deemed a sufficient jus
tification of what you call our “rebellion, - ’
bat may it not he reasonably urged as
an extenuatiug circumstance which may
well incline the hearts oi the judges to
mercy when making up their sentence?
If the moral guilt of any action lies in
the intent, the fact that the “rebel
States” only did what they believed they
had a perfect right to do, and what thou
sands of Northern men believed they
had a right to do, should not he forgot
ten by those at whose mercy defeat has
placed them.
It can serve no good purpose to ar
gue whether .or not the causes which
impelled the seceding States to attempt
to sever their alliance with the United
States, were sufficient. It can do no
good to assert that the motives which
setnated those which led the secession
movements were pure and honest. It
is not my purpose to defend secession,
although I belonged to that reviled class
of “original secessionists,” in the con
scientious conviction that I was guilty
of no crime. Ido not make thid state
rnent as a boast, but that I may display
my true colors, and prove to you, as I
hope to do hetore I close these letters,
that the honest advocacy oi secession
and the Southern cause during the war,
does not necessarily exclude the possi
bility of honest submission to the laws
and Constitutional authority of the
United States, or of unequivocal loyalty
to the Government.
I propose to endeavor to convince
you—first, That, when the “rebel States”
laid down their arms, they abandoned
forever all hope of separate indepen
deuce, and submitted, in good faith, to
ths Federal Government; that, when
they renewed their allegiance, they
meant what they said; and that their
subsequent acts have fully illustrated
their sincerity. Secood, That, in giving
their voluntary consent to the abolition
of domestic slavery, they recognised the
necessity and the duty to protect and
defend the emancipated negroes in ail
the right* of person and property which
freedom gave them ; to deal with them
liberally as well as justly, and use all
proper mean* to promote their social
and material prosperity. Third, That,
in reinsing to ratify the pending Const .
tutional Amendment, in the framing of
which, though all its provisions were in
tended to spply to them exclusively,
they had no voice, they were actuated
by no feelings of hostility or defiance )
but by a conscientious sense of hono r
and self-respect. Fourth, That all the
stories which reach yon of rebel turbu
lence, disaffection, lawlessness, cruelty
to negroes, persecution of Northern aud
Union men, conspiracy with Northern
copperheads to obtain control of the
Government, are unmitigated false
hoods, as applied to the masses of
the people, or as representations of
popular sentiment, aud that while, here
and these, the intemperate action ot an
individual may furnish the narrators “a
thread of candor,” their own malice
and injustice supply them with “a web
of wiles.” Filth, that Peace, Peace.
Peace is the cry ot the people of all
sorts and conditions—the first wish ot
their hearts—the object of all tbeir as*
pirations, and for the attainment of
which, they are willing to consent to
any sacrifice which does not involve a
surrender of their honor. And sixth,
that amnesty, forgiveness, good wifi/hnd
generous concession on the part of the
North, securing the liberties, recogniz
ing the equality and respecting the
manhood of the Sonth, are the best, in
deed, the only means of restoring the
Union so as to insure its permanence,
and secure the prosperity of all its
parts. By Territorial bills, disabling
acts, confiscation, and penal laws, even
admitting that the Constitution allows
snch legislation, the North may create
a wilderness, but it is the most fatal de
lusion to call it peace.
I ask a candid and patient hearing,
for my causes’ sake. I want to
eonntrv where I live, and the country
where you live, from the ruin which the
present condition of affairs must work,
if continued much longer, and I want
to see a Union restored in which all
may take pride, and in which the terms
conquoror and vanquished shall be
beard no more.
