The New Plan of Adjustment. Wo gave, recently, tit extenso, the proposed plan of adjustment of our National difficulties, embraced under United States and State Constitutional Amendments. This plan is now the principal topic of newspaper discussion, and numerous are the views which have been and are being expressed upon it. For our part, we confess to a reluctance to yield to unjust and unnecessary requirements; hut, thiuk as we may, reason os we may, we can not and ought not to divest ourselves of the recollection that we are no longer free agents, in a free Republic, hut a con quered people, wholly at the mercy of the conqueror. This being true, it behooves us, as the part of wisdom, to accept the least burdensome, or most favorable terms that the conquerer offers us. We could not accept the Constitutional Amendment, because it required us to stultify ourselves, and to bring odium or disgrace upon those why had braved for us the dangers of the battle field, and shared with us the risks, the triumphs and the defeat of war. It asked too much. We could sacrifice everything but honor; that we can never part with. But the plun under discussion does not ask this sacrifice of us. It is true it asks great concessions of us, as com pared with our Southern view of the right of suffrage and political affairs generally; it affords a sort of compro mise ground, upon which both sections can come together, and strike hands once more in peace and Union, without dishonor. What does it propose? Briefly, this: First, as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the declaration of the perpetuity of the Uuion and the denial of the right of secession ; the recognition of the Union debt, and the repudiation of the Con lederate debt; the recognition of all native and naturalized citizens of the Uuited States as citizeus of the several States; a property qualification for voters not to exceed s2oo, and an edu cational qualification, embracing the ability, on the part of the voter, to read the Constitution of the United States in English, and to write his own name. Second, as an amendment to the State Constitutions, the right of every male citizen to vote, who has resided in the State for one year, and the county for six months, and who can read the Con stitution of the United States in English and write his own name, or who is the owner of $250 worth of taxable prop erty ; provided, however, that no one heretofore entitled to vote shall be de prived of that privilege. This is the substance of the plan proposed, and which is, we believe, to be brought forward by the North Caro lina Legislature as a test of its effi ciency and practical application in the settlement of our difficulties. If sue* cessful there, of course the other States will adopt it, and so resume their places in the Union and their representation in Congress. We should, however, prefer that Con gress should emphatically declare that if the Southern States adopt this plan, it will be accepted as a finality iu the adjustment of National troubles. If this is done, we are confident that every Southern State would at once adopt it ; for the reason that, while it concedes the principle of impartial suffrage, it yet leaves the question with the several States respectively, and by restoring the right of .suffrage to all who were entitled to it, gives, practi cally, a general amnesty. This is the view which we take of it, and, we believe, a correct view ; but wo are not prepared to say that it will be acceptable to the Radicals in Congress, though the iudications are that a more conservative sentiment is gaining ground there ; and as Governor Orr, of South Carolina, and Sharkey, of Mississippi, who were recently in Wash ington, ure said to favor the movement, we are led to the belief that some as surance has been given of its accept anee by Congress. We Lope, therefore, that North Caro lina will make the experiment at once. There is no harm in it; for, if success ful, all will be well. If not —if it fails, why, then, we have done all that could be reasonably asked of us, and must await, as calmly and as patiently as possible, the course of future events. ' It may be that the Radical party does not want the Union restored until after the next Presidential election ; but if that is their intention, it would only secure their power for lour years lunger ; wrhile an amicable adjustment of ponding difficulties, might give an eclat, and a prestige, which opposing political parties at the North could not deprive them of. It seems to us, there fore, that while it is the part of wisdom with us to accept as promptly as possi ble the most favorable terms we can get, it is equally the part of wisdom with the Republicans to settle the National difficulties in the quickest aqd easiest terms. At all events, the effort is worthy of being tried. Letter* from an Ex-Rebel, to Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev- Henry Ward Beecher. X UMli Kit ri. Siaa : Since the close of the war, and especially since the Radical ma jority of the dominant party at the North manifested their purpose to exclude the ‘"RebeJ States’’ from their places in the Union, strenuous efforts have been made to make the Northern people believe that our submission is a sham, that we hate and detest the United States Government, that wherever and whenever we can do so safely, we violate the laws and defy uuthority ; that we persecute and mal treat all Southern men who opposed our rebellion and wished.for the success ol the Federal armies : that it is not safe for Northern men to come among us, and that we treat the negroes with inhuman injustice and cruelty. Hosts of letter writers, employed specially for the purpose, spread circumstantial stories of our lawlessness, rebellion, in tolerance, and inhumanity, broadcast among the Northern people, magnify ing everything which could possibly tell against us, suppressing everything which could plead in our favor, and inventing with remarkable fertility of imagination, all sorts of proofs of our truculent ferocity, wheu the fiuest thread of fact cannot be found to make the substance of the tissue of slander. The object 13 manifest. It is well known that were the Northern people to ascertain the truth, to judge of us as we really are, and be fully aware of our conditiou, sentimeuts, aud desires, their sense of justice, their generosity, and their love of fair play would impel them to rise as one man to prevent the oppression which, to serve party ends, 13 inflicted upon us. It is therefore found necessary to deceive them, to make them believe that we are rebel lious, turbulent, and barbarous to the freedmen, and that the fruits ot the war for which they sacrificed so much would be lost if w 8 were not treated as we are, and if we were allowed the use of politi cal freedom. The army of agents of every department aud bureau which are now thrown out as a gigantic skirmish line over our entire country, have a direct interest in the successful contin uance of this wicked cheat. Did they tell the truth, there would be no occa sion for their services, and their power, consequence, pay, and emoluments, would be suddenly swept away, and they themselves consigned to the obscurity of private life and the toilsome earnings of honest industry. It matters not that Generals Grant and Sherman, Generals Steadman and Fullerton, General Granger and Mr. Watterson have severally made official reports, hearing emphatic testimony to to our peaceful, patient, law-abiding, and law-respecting acts and demeanor ; the letter writers immediately denounce these high officials as copperheads and rebel sympathizers, invent anew tale of outrage on a Unionist, a Northern mam or*a’ negro, with all the circumstantiality of names, places, and dates, and the romance is propagated and believed, while the reality is left undisturbed in the pigeon-hole of some department desk. If a drunken vagabond in a pot house “damns the Yankees,” and declares iii s eagerness “to fight them again,” his inarticulate rqvings. lrom bad whiskey are telegraphed as evidence of the re bellious spirit of the whole community. If an indiscreet editor of an obscure country newspaper, who has the exemp tion paper still in his pocket by which he evaded military service, writes a swaggering article, the whole press of the State is represented as preaching the rebellion, which public sentiment approves. If some offensive knave of the N. S. Morse order violates public decency, aud obtrudes hi3 society on honest men, and is, in consequence, shunned and snubbed, union men are at once declared to be in danger of their lives throughout the entire South. If a row occurs at a railroad depot, on a wharf, or elsewhere, between a number of white and black laborers, "the fright ful murder of a number of freedmen by rebels,” is forthwith announced with displayed headings, and elabo rate details in the first, second, third, and fourth accounts of special reporters sent to the scene of the bloody crime. The Governors, Judges, Magistrates, and all others in authority in the States, are represented as not merely not repress ing and punishing outrages ofthis nature, but a3 encouraging and approving them. We may, and do deny all this, and ex pose its utter "falsehood ; but who at the North believes our denial, and how few ever hear ot it? But if, for example, you were to desire to know the state of feeling in Georgia, the conduct of the people, and the disposition of the local authorities, and were to apply to Judge Urskine, or District Attorney Fitch, or General Tillson, you could rapidly ascer tain that the letter writers have not told you the truth, and that relatively to num bers, there is as |!ittle crime and law lessness of sort in this State as iu the most loyal of all the loyal States. You would find that the members of the “Southern Loyalist Association, (except perhaps those of them who are fugitives from justice or absconding debtors) might live any where in this State with perfect impunity and immunity from danger, and although it is very possible they would not find their society courted, they would he as unmolested and as free as if they had been prominent soldiers of the army of Northern Virginia. You would find that Northern men who do uot provoke antagonism by insulting language or offensive acts, are kindly and hospitably received. You would find that, Jwith very rare exceptions, the freedmen are treated with gen erosity, kindness, aud most praise' worthy forbearance, and that where diitnrbanco* arise between the races, the criminal interference of a Mr. Bry ant, or a Massachusetts negro Bradly is found to bo the cause. Conte and sec, and judge for yourselvct. You have both been invited to come—accept the the invitation. Investigate closely. Examine, as I know you will, fairly. Come by all means. Visit our cities, towns, planta tions, and workshops. I promise you a good reception and every opportunity to form nn accurate opiuion as to public sentiment and our social condition. If we are ns lawless, as violent, as intol erant, and as barbarous as we are represented, you will say so, and sus taining the letter writers will condemn me; but if you find the reverse to be the case, you will disabuse the minds of your people of the wicked error into which they have been led, will help to. rescue an unhappy nnd suffering people from unjust and cruel oppression, aud you will yourselves enjoy the satisfac tion of having vindicated justice and maintained truth. Intelligent as you are, and conscientious as I believe you to be, you are deceived and made to help in the spread of this fiendish im posture- Again, I say, look for your selves. Come among us and satisfy your minds, not by consultation with little Bureau Agents, who would be ruined by your kuowing the truth, but by uniting with the people of all condi tions and colors, and watching them in the every day relations of life. We have no representatives to speak for us, no advocates to plead our cause. Our hands sre tied and our voice drowned by the clamor of those who would destroy us. Insist that we be heard, aud he yourselves the instruments by which the mightiness of truth will be made to prevail. Xyi.ox. OBITUARY. Dure, in this City, on the 31st of October, Dr. CHARLES M. WRIGHT, in the 3i!th year of his age. Dr. Wkioiit was so long lind so favorably known in our midst that bis memory re quires no fulsome adulation, no glistoniug flowers of rhetoric, to keep it fresh with those who knew him best. An upright and respoctod citizen, a Mason who had been lung a member, and an ornumeut of that respectable fraternity, his death was a loss not only to his family nnd to his friends, but to the order of which ho was so worthy a member, and to the community at large. In the hope that that loss was his gain, we can only add : “Peace to his ashes, immor tality to his soul!” A Fkiund. Special Notices.
