A committee of one from each State represented was then appointed on Credentials, including II. E. Hudson, from Tennessee. An attempt was made to appoint a Committee on Permanent Organiza-1 Lion, Nut three or four r i.lurinns look- ing to that result were voted down,; the members uniting that no such committee could be appointed until the Committee on Credentials had re ported. Mr. Shryock, President of the St. Lovm Board of Trade, was i-ailed for and made a speech in which he in sisted that Congress should appropri ate Uau million dollars at once to im prove the Mississippi river and re move obstructions natural and arti nciaL tjeveral other gentlemen made brief peeches. The Committee on Credentials made their report, which was read and adopted. It simply gives names of all delejUes who have been elected or appointed, and not simply the names of those present. Lien.

Will she Reconstruct on the Condi tions of Negro Suffrage. What Judge Dent and the Radicals Propose to do. Review of the Situation who Knows. by One Cofpkbvillb, Miss., Aufrust 17, 1S69. Col. M. D. L. Stephens: My Dear Colonel: You ask an ex pression of my opinion on the policy ot " reconstruction,'' proiwjr for us to pursuo in view of our irulortunato jurroundiuga.' In January, 18C1, MiBsissippI aliaib doned (practically) her position as a Suite in the Federal Union aud be came w ith others involved in a war against the United States to establish a separate government; and after ri conflict of four years we surrendered without accomplishing the achievn ment or recognition of independence, but did actually effect a separation. Tho position we origiuallyoccupied in the Union Ls recognized by the con quering power as virtually aban doned and xxt&utt, and it is held and decreed by that power that wo shidl not reoccupy the positiiai shail not regain admission shall not resume our place in the Union, except it be upon certain terms which arum themselves designedly harsh and hu miliating, a kind of passage " under '.lie. yoke '' to restoration and national eoutidence. The question, then, in my mind, is not whether we mm get Imek on these terms, but will we go back under the conditions proposed? WtU we rrcoiistritct on the conditions of " negro suffrage " and the disfran chisement ol a portion of our jeople? or will we continue in our present anomalous situation? It is conceded, I believe, that the people will accept " readmission " on the terms proposal. The difficulty is overcome not the difficulty of get ting back but tho difficulty of getting our MMMMl to go back upon terms to a. -eemingiy so oppressive and odi ous. But it is claimed by " representative men " ol the State, that recunntruGtion, even upon the Radical plan laid down by Congress is ot doubtltil achieve ment, unless we join the Republican party get squarely Isdnnti Judge Dent anil loilow turn, luuian Ule, back into the Union. It would be deemed of high offense to national courtesy to slam the door in the face of the Presi dent's brother-in-law. If ho does not bow us iuto the Union, the fault will not be in the sagacity of the " rebel " but in the rottenness of the coat-tuil. What has Judge Dt-nt to do w ith reconstructing Hisateippi? He left us dnrii ir the war and lia- been cm- slrucud all the time. The reconstruc tion plan of Congress is not submitusl directly to the people who were en jur'si iu tip' " rtbeUkM," and it is lor us, to whom these teriu.i ol readmis sion arc tendered, acting for wrselvix. to accept or to reject them. lieu the reconstruction plan was levised by Congress, it was designed that Mississippi should be ns-onstruct- ed bv that plan, that readmission hould positively be secured by the terms therein proposed and not left to the mere contingency that .-ome future president ol the L intist blales may possibly have a brothtr-in-latr. It is said by some H we accept tne situation" for ourselves and not by proxy it wo act through our own representatives, we might M rejected. MCMMe our conduct might be claimed is a Democratic triumph. I should like to know who would be tool or traitor enough to claim readmission on Hadical teems a.- a " Democratic triumph!" 1 am opposed to any amiintion with he II 'publican party. TtMM meu iio;-ksl us in our misiortunes and at- icoiptcd to render the harsh terms of n cuiistructi-'ti still more odious and oppressive. I am imder no obliga tions to them because thev vtiuOl not su'.feed. ' Tlje terms of reconstruction are sub mitted to us: wecau accept them if wo Will, Without being forced to the ad- iilioual mort'hcation ol being marched in by Republican leaders. A goodly number ol "representative men hit vo .'urt'ddy proclaimed their itliiiatioii with the Republican party, aud declared their purpose to support ts tioiuiniHs even a month in advance of knowing who they may lie. Well, it was their privilege to go and even had haMy action evinced a pre-dispo- sitiou in them to go where they have gone, it yet would have been their privilege. Among these representative men ' recognize certain distinguished leaders who once in a time condueted us out of the Union. With the sagu- ious eye of the statesman with an inspiration that beamed from heaven upon their vision, tiptoed just a little, thev looked beyond the outward cir- lunstaiiea of things and saw the way ptrfetttjf mm Now without saying that any mistake was made in con- ductiug us 01, I simply suggest that blunder might be committed in taking U3 bank. 1 see neither necessity nor wisdom in the policy of voluntarily surrender- ng the -iuie govci njweni ami ls-rnups ts destiny for years to come. Into the hands of a few Republicans who but yesterday attempted to afflict us with oppression and ruin: and it they have desisted it is because they could not suci-eed, chich does not entitle them, in my opinion, to our oawMflBee, cer tainly not! to our support; or if so, it was not ntaue apparent iu the " Ad- iress," anii I am only surprised that our "representative men ' should have maud, a proposition so astound ing. uiilesslilu"y could have given rea sons for doiiig so, more plausible than ny they bpe yet ventured to make public. We are lisked to adopt tho policy pursuid by' Virginia in the election ust tianspired in that fstnte. hv should we pursue that policv? Ours Is not a ara,in'l MM with that of Vir- guiiu. Walker was not a Radical and never attempted to force the Under wood Cousiinjtion on hisjeople. But how do we knbw that the people of Virginia favorid the policy adopted in that State? H'he judgment of the people might lnlve Ia'cii forestalled by her " represeiitittivemen " who some times eaewtec Control more bv the in fluence of accustomed leadership than by argument. Walker was elected by only ten thousand majority, when the Conservatives had a regis tered majority of double that number. Now how do we know that the peo ple approve the pblicy ? Is Jt not verv evident that they'did not like it all"; and does the result not prove that the policy was impolitic and unwise; that it occasioned ten thousand Virginians to be silent; ten thousand have refused to say whether they accept the " re construction plan'' or not; and To that extent has it not prejudiced the chances of the State for " readmis ion?" And if Virginia, with a reg istertd Conservative inajorityof twen ty thousand, could, on a policy so un popular, only save Walker by ton thousand votes, how can Mississippi venture on the same ioliey with any prospect of success with a registered majority of ta-tidu thousand airainst us? In ail seriousness, I would ask these "representative men" If the Virginia plan which they urge us to i adopt, will not defeat us beyond per kI venture, even conceding it can pos-, sess as much popularity with us as it commanded in Virginia? The Con- i servatives of Virginia, with a heavy j registered majority, could well aiford to risk an unpopu lar policy. Not so with us. We must make an absolute gain of more than ten thousand votes or be hopelessly ! ueteaUHi. 'there is positively hut solitary argument in favor of aban doning the State to Republican adven- Hirers, aud that is, the policy cluimed to be advised by the " repro--.eniati ve men " of the State. Now is this a reason sufficient for the peoplef Or, allowing that it Ls, how do we know but that the policy proposed is disap pro bated instead of advised by tne representative men or the State? One hundred and thirty-five distin guished citizens, gentlemen of intelli gence and position, signed the " Ad dress; " but how do we know but that double that number, of equal influ ence and respectability, were applied to for liieir signatures or for the use of their names, who positively declined to comply. With all due deference to the distinguished progenitors of " the Address," I suggest it would be advi sable, perhaps, to leave the decision of this matter to the action of a State Conservative Convention. I regret that our distinguished ad visers are ail proscribed by the Four teenth Amendment, and cannot rep resent us themselves in our passage back to the Union. I kuow it would be a dangerous experiment, aud per haps an unjust one to our faithful old leaders, to permit the State, during the process of reconstruction, to fall into the hands of young Mississippians, who will possibly identify themselves with place and posititiou, and win upon the confidence of the people to the utter aud unkind exclusion of old ixiliticians. Taking this view of the situation it is better perhaps to endorse the Dent movement: but ta king any other view of it, I do net think we shouid I am with respect your frioud and obedient servant, ROBERT M. BROWN. P. S. Since writing the foregoing, i nave learneu through tne newspa pers that Hen. Grant has declared his influence to lie with the Alcorn wiug of the Republican party. So our "representative men" were mistaken in the wing they went to; they affili ate with the Republicans to secure through hiiu influence with the ad ministration, but being promptly in formed that the inttuenot is in an op posite direction, they cauuot escape the lorce 01 their owu argument which directs them where it Ls and where to go. It must be very fatigueing, this wandering to and Jro und button i ; . v . i- t ,- , . . .-t, ... . i .. - 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 . '"u 1 n iiu i iiuicTi aiuuff to know it he is kin to (Iraut or can tell them the way hack into the Union. Certain distinguished gen tlemen relied more upon their own judgment in regard to a knowledge of this route some nine vears aijo. There is but one way, at present, back to the Union, and thut is by adopting the plan Congress has sub mitted. Thbrplan is submitted to the rtgistvred voters of ihetatcaud not to the disfranchised portion of ita popu lation it is known that I hae uo sympathy with the spirit that prompted this distinction, but I am to deal with it as a practical question. Hud the people organized upon the busis of registration Xhi would have included only tho registered voters of the Shite divesttsl of all influences at all offensive to an, over sensi tive Government, would have left " reconstruction " to those to whom it is submitted and through whom it is proposed to re-admit the tjtate. A party organized upon this plan would necessarily have commaiitled the con tidenee of Government whether the party saw proorto accept or to decline the terms proposed. But 1 can very weM see, viewing the question from the Federal stand-point, why the State will hardly be re-adinittisi under the auspices of those whom tho Govern ment has seen proper to proscrilie, and if persisted in, will compel the eforeement of the ironclad oath to protect itself against the perversion of its own plau. These suggestions I submit to your calm consideration; if you cannot accept them as wise and isilitic, you will believe at least, they are honestly entertained. It. M. B. MARRIED.
