TERRIBLE REBUKE TO THE AD MINISTRATION.-The Savannah Re publican ? of the opinion that the vote ia the House on the infamous Administration measure to extend the law authorizing the President to sus pend the habeas corpus at will, is one of the most significant events of the times. It Bounds the death-knell of despotism in these States. It ends the rule of power against law, and the.reign of terror that followed in Us wake. It tells the adherents ol Grant that they have made a fatal blunder in supposing that they could keep up perpetual war between the States and the Federal Government, and it st rik ea from their grasp the only weapon that they had intended to use in th? coming struggle-sec tional hate. We record the vote with a real, unaffected satisfaction. It is the inauguration anew of the era of law against usurpation and might, and in yoi ves a defeat of the Admin istration that should completely over whelm it. It was the last desperate move to retain abused power, and it aae'sigiully failed, leaving tho party with all the sin of despotism on its head, without the po wei to carry out its wicked designs against the people. ileadlBg off Greeley, Tho Philadelphia Agc, comment ing on the passage of the conditional' Amnesty, by Congress, says. : The administration is engaged in an effort to fceaft off Horace Greeley. The long resisted ' Amnesty Bill is yielded now in ordertc*tob;Mr. (gree ley of political capital. The Bill is, we think, a cad* ono in principle, but it at least covers a multitude of cases, and we shallno longer {see obs?ur?, private citizens charged with- the crime of ?sodh?g theiuttery, or tend ing the sick of the Southern Confed eracy, and forced to buy a pardon at the'Congressional shop. Since Hor ace Greeley's candidacy ' has wiped out this foul dishonor, which, till the [last hour the administration party, fostered and defended, Itt Mr. Gree ley have the credit of it. ; j We will not dwell on our objections to the partial amnesty, but will briefly state one which w? de?m important. From the.general amnesty are except ed the members of Congress who left it, and also the officers pf the army and navy who'resiffned at ihe begin ning of the war. flow, what ought they to have done, holding the opin ions they did ? What, in a like case happening again, would you wish to be done? Mr. Cameron has stated in his place in the Senate that he of fered to Colonel Robert E. Lee the command of the Army of the United States, when he instantly left Wash ington, and sent in his resignation, which waa formally accepted by Pres ident Lincoln. Throughout the land were many Southern officers in posi tions of trust. They instantly avow ed tieir opinions and resigned. They may be chargeable, then, with just the guilt that attaches- to all -who joined the Confederacy, but we see nothing -whatever to distinguish them for peculiar resentment. On the con- . tran,*, it is highly honorable to the ; Amori??* character that there was ! ? ft'a - ?? .' p. v of coiicfcdtn*ufc uau ojjr? t anu HU?^.J :he Southern side ought now to be , incepted on that account from j ;Le General Amnesty. It bas been , il leged as aground of exception, that1 , ;he officers had taken an oath to ferve ? ;he United StateB, but thousands of ethers who did so in other capacities, ( ire now amnestied. I' is, too, very ( sasy to suppose that Southern om- . ;ers may have concientiously believed '< that it was no longer " the United States" when their native State " se oeded." That was the current opin ion at the South, as everybody knows. But apart from this?, the now univer- '. sally recognized principle is that res ignation and acceptance ends the mil- > i ta ry obligation, and this was strenu ously maintained by the American Government in the Revolution, when its officer, General Charles Lee, an ex-British officer, was captured and threatened by the British. As to the Southern members of Congress, did anybody want them to stay" and vote in Congress, perhaps against necessary war measures, when their States had seceded and cancell ed their powers ? We think then ther? "1S a grave moral objection to this partial amnes ty ; but since it does remove political disabilities from many American cit izens, let Mr. Greeley have fall cred it for it. It is stealing bis thunder to credit the administration party for what he has forced them tardily and reluctantly to yield. Narrow. Gauge Railroads. On the nineteenth of Jun? delegates representing all the narrow gauge railroad companies in the United States will assemble in convention at St. Louis. This assemblage will, it is said, be composed of some of the most eminent civil engineers and rail road builders of the country, and many important results are anticipa ted from its deliberations. These will probably be a thorough discussion of the r?sped v? merits of the narrow and broad gauge railway systems ; of the difference in the co-t of construction, operating and keeping them in repair ; the freight capacity of the new sys tem, and its safety and accommoda* tion for passenger traffic ; and what general plan ought to be adopted in its construction and management, to render it successful. All these are important and interesting questions. The advantages claimed for the narrow gauge system rest .upon the general prinoiple that, with sufficient widtk ol tract for gaiety and speed, all further increase of width renders imperative an inorease in the weight of engines and oars in greater pro portion than it increases capacity, or in' other Words, the u dead weight" of a train increases with the width of the track. The friends of the nar row gauge sy?em assert that their roads can"be-built and equipped at a cost not exceeding one-half that of the broad gauge ; that they earn as much money per mile aSthe latter ; that they are. equally as rapid in transportation ana fat more secure.. The' St. Louis and Cairo Railroad has a narrow gauge. The estimated cost of its construction with a broad gauge was $4,40,000 ; as at present construc ted, its cost was $2,590,000. It is generally assumed that the narrow gauge principi? is of recent origin. This is a mistake, for roads of^28*-inch and 39-inch gauge haye been in operation witt success, both in England and on the continent, for many years, while the anthracite .mountains cf Penney 1vania have been ?0 roafls-T irty years 'creasing it , Hassachu isas, Colora ,vania and Ma 'oad compa and in some . now in ac traversed by narrofr three feet-for mdre " And these railroads popularity.

Blair, 1 We haye been permitted to publish ' the following letter from Hon. Frank , Blair. It will be read with interest : WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21, 7872. 1 Joseph F. Johnston, ??elma, Ala : DEAR 8IB-I have yours of the 17th. I entirely agree with you in thinking that the Sooth, which alone can cast an electoral vote for the Democratic party, should have its say on the present phase of politics. I agree with you also in thinking that it ia useless, and worse than use less, to undertake to run a straight Democratic ticket. Even if it were fossible to elect, the candidate would e counted out, and if not counted out, would be powerless to do any thing with the t?enate against him. In my opinion, the Tennessee lead should be followed by every Souther^ $tate. It cannot' be concealed that the South.is for Greeryy and is, far him not .as an expedient, to obtain power over the F?d?ral (?oyernment, but aa a means to obtain peace and the restoration of good. relations be tween the citizens of the Southern States and between that section of the Union and the North. The eleotion of Greeley will not be a sectional triumph. He will be supported by both sections, and hence will'be the representative of both, and will be able to restore fraternal feeling. Grant represents only the conquer ing section, and has no faith in the maintenance of peace save by the sword. Local disorders, which can only be suppressed by local power, he makes the pretext of suppressing local power itself. It is like curing a temporary lameness by cutting off a limb. I think the Southern States should all declarefor Greeley, but in doing HO should declare that they did so as a manifestation of their desire for peace, and the restoration of harmo ny between the sections, and between the races resident in the South, and witlj a view to inaugurating an era of good feeling. Voorhees is a man of strong feel ing and was warmly enlisted for I Judge Davis. He will, 1 have no doubt, support Greeley, notwithstand ing his posent declarations to the i contrary. I hope so for his own =ake, 1 as well as for the sake of the cause, i He cannot support Grant, and he will have to choose between Greeley and ? . ? : :'j And cold ? Gather them into the fold.

He says : " Whether this new departure is to ultimately benefit the planter, the factor, the dealer, or the spinner, is still a riddle ; and if either is tc bc moire directly the gainer than the other by as complete a metamorpho sis as thia new system of future con tracts ha? created, np one class thus far is given the credit of prominent favoritism. It is generally admitted by all in interest that the marketing of cotton for dVWery far into tjbe fu ture by the planter is, and is to be the fact., The securing . pf such con tracts by .the .spinner- must grow and become, in Course of time, an? equal part of the ?ame fact, and the object of thia note to your good journal is, .to hint to the planters throughout the South the utility of preparing the crops this season and those of the fu ture to meet Che rigid requirements of ^the New York Cotton Exchange.

False packing, light bales, and those containing gin-tag or water d?mage, always interfere with the deliveries, and always cost the owner many times more than any labor or care needed in first render ing the bales merchantable.

He id that Scott, Parker, Neagle and jamberlain were responsible for the iud and mismanagement rampant the State.

NEW YORK, May 29.-A New York firm has brought suit in the Supreme Court in behalf of some stockholders of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company of South Carolina, against the Presi dent and Executive Committee of the road. The oriente charged-is misap propriation of the funds of the# com pany, and the complaint alleges-that in accordance with a bill passed by the South Carolina Legislature, last M arch, $400,000 of bonds of the com pafiy, guaranteed by the State, were exchanged for revenue bond ' scrip, which was to be receivable by the State for taxes. The complaint fur ther alleges that the President of the road, John J. Patterson, obtained pos session of $1,800,000 of this scrip, and obtaining loans upon a portion of it, divided the scrip among his per sonal friends and members of the South Carolina Legislature, The com plaint also alleges that the Treasurer of the- State of South Carolina re ceived $50,000. . ' Judge Ingraham granted an order to ehow .cause- why an injunction should not be issued and a receiver appointed. The question was argued before Judge Leonard- to-day whether the courts of this State have jurisdiction in'the matter, as th? plaintifs are non-residents. Deci?on reserved. While it coat Ohio only $31,000 to run its whole government and legis lative expenses for 1871, it required the enormous sum of nearly half a million to misgovern and outrage South Carolina during the same pe riod. The new furniture for the scalawag Scott's executive residence, coat that carpet--vagabond- cursed commonwealth, the princely sum of nearly $100,000. This is a tolerable picture of what Grantism has done for the States, and it presses the con viction thai if the damnable conclave of Ulysses' bummers and thieves are not overthrown by the Cincinnati nominees, there will be nothing left but force, wherewith the down-trod den may at last retrieve their liberty and their peace.
