Blackburn took Hi ams to a Trivae room and asked him if lhe was williiig to go on an expidition in wiili'he would make a hundred thou sand dollars ond receive more glory than the rebel General Lee. Witness finally consented. Subsoquently he received a letter from Blackhurn. date d in Havana on the 10th of last Mhy, stating when he would arrive at Halifax. Witness then made his way to that place, where arrangements were perfected for the dis tribution of infected clothing and for transporting the trunks to Now York, Philadelphia and other Northern cities. Blackburn state4 that his'object was to destroy the'Union army;, that the cloth ing had been infected with yellow fever and that other parties w'ere engaged with him in infecting goods, amounting to one million doIllars worth, with that disease and the sauall-pox. The witness understood from Blackburn . that the clothing in a valise which was sent to Presidentj Lincohi was infected with both diseases. When witnesa returned to Hamnilton, Canadq, he met Olay amid Holcombe, the rebbl agents, who con gratulated him, on his success, and lie telegraphed to Dr. Blackbiurn. who came down the next Iight ; nnd when witness told him wliat li_ hd done, lhe saiL it was all right, as Big No. Two bid gone to Washington and lie was sure it would kill at sixt y yards. Blackbur told Hy. Riais that Thoaipson, another of the i:ebol agents in Canada., would pay him, and he went to Thompson,.who stated that lie would be paid when they ivor the goods lad.beei delivered according to instructions. .'The witness showed them aletter fron Wall & Co., wien Thompson gave him fifty dollars on ac count.

The President's Proolamation-'The Domestio Policy of the Administra. tion. The New York IHemid'of the 30th May in speaking of the proclamation of President JOHNSTON, says: "In the two important proclaniations from the President which we publish tiis nioning the future domestic policy of the administratoidi is. clearly defined and the work of construction begins in earnest. The amnesty proclamation is very sweepiig. The masses 'of the Southern people are.pardoned ; but whil they are relieved froi all punishme. for their complicityin treason there is nthing in l the documeit which resthrus to then the right of suffrage, while in the second proclamation it is apparent that they are to be excluded from voting at present. Only the leaders are ex. ebided fron the benefits of the pardon. All civil officers of the rebel government, foreign and &onestie, and'all ex-United States Congressmen and Judges are held responsible for their deeds. . All gradu. Mes of Wevt Point., all army officers. above thp rank of colonel, all naWd off. cars above the rank of lieutenant, al!

All those who have deliberate ly conspired against and labored by their influence to destroy the Union are to be held to nt atCountability. BUit it, willbo seen that we are not told how strict that accountability is to be. The The punishment for the crime of treason on conviction is death; but the Presi. dent, does not llreat'n to bang anybody. It is apparont .Int the terms have been extended to .certain classes and -ranks in order to exclude from pardon many ho torious and evil men. Large numbers of those who are excluded .vill find lit. te difficulty in obtainin the Eecetive paidon, which is to be had by proper'ap. plication, and only the more desperate characters will be made examples of. .The conutry'will domtandto be, as least, rid of such despiiradoei9e8Smeb, bMAf. it aud other depredators!'ns tho high seas and in Canada, and the proclania. tio)n is so worded to excludo such from its benefits..

I is a biuriodis but an incontrovertible 'fact, that on no occa slon, from the commnencemhent of the'iar to its close, have tlie bitterest enemies of dte South ventured to charge one of its generals with an inhuman or unsol dierlike act. A sinilar observance may be made in respeit to the Confederate - gov. 'ernment. The announcement that Mr. Johnson had not only excluded the President of the Qonfederate States from thu provis ions of an amnesty which it. was believ ed would have been extended to all who took par. in what the North regarded as an act of rebellior but had set a price upon his head, accordingly excited the astonishment and the indignation of Eu rope. It was difficult to believe that the government of.the United States could seriously contemplate the idea of sentencing to a felon's death a man who was the recognized head of six millions of people; and assuming such a contin cncy possible. it was equally difficult to .elieve that the world witness the coi swnuiation of so great a crime without entering its protest against -so gross a violation of 'those principles. of justice and humanity which are supposed to govern the actions of civilized States. It its therefore ot. unreasonable that a inember of the E1nglish H~ouso of Coin riions should ask her Majestv's govern tuent whether it was their :mtention to notice oficially the proposed conduct of the government of the United States, and to employ sueih influence as they posses: sed,to induce the latter to abanden what would seen io be their obvious. desigo, 3ut, however iitelligibles'and however generons migl* Be thu senloments which prompted stehu qpestion, thete should be but one reply.

The government of tlie Uuii-d States are sovereign within their own dohiinions, A7d are entitled to administer their laws *ith rigor if 'thiey feel so inclined. .It they think prope- to deal out. the ful measure'of the law to an individual whom they look .upon-as an "arch rebel" and tho chief orivinator of a moveient, which brought. in its trqin a great civil war, they are.legally entitled to do so, and it is' not for the government of any other 4tte to say ther" nay. We entirely dismiss from consideration the flimsy p1rett-xt advan'ced by Presi dent Johnson for the course which he intends to pursue. Ij is impossible to prove a neative, agid We 'wil not there fgroeatteipt; to uomonstrate that Mr. Davis was not privy ' Mr. Lin coln's as B.ssination.
