The Amnesty ?aw.
The Amnesty bill just passed do
meet public .expectation at the Son tl
. for two reasons : First, because it is
ited, and, secondly, because parties '
political privileges are recto: -.,b
bill are only those excluded by the
amendment, most of whom are re]
by special acts of Congress, exceptii
classes mentioned in the bill and std
scribed. ? majority disabled by the
amendment had been relieved by s]
acta. The great relief seeded is the t
tion of -the test oath of March,
which would not allow the rank an
of the late Confederate army tb hold
eral office if appointed. None but pi
neat leaders at the South are politi
restored, while the great mass are
barred from holding the most insignifi
clerkship in the gift of the Federal (
eminent. Let the test oath go. 1

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

not this important day you owe to
those dependent on yoi for protection
and support :
1. It is possible foi every man to
leave hi? family abo? want, by life
insurance.
2. A life insuraneV company, do
in g business On corre t principles, is
like an arch whki increases in
strength in proportia to the weight
it carries. I \
3. ? life insurajce. policy costs
something; butthejcojst is nothing

policy.
4. The example bf the best ?nan

it is we}I known thkt tey invaria
bly insure their liw?^'r very large
amounts.
5. In every good ompany, the
policies on the life plai are non-for
feiting^ that no perso need have
any fears of loss in consquence of in
ability to continue payxents.
6. The payments rquired on a
policy, on what is calledthe life plan,
extend over a long perod of years,
and are, therefore,, so siall that eve

10. Not one man ia thousand can
3ay that a life policywould not ben

be insured.
11. There are thoanda of fami
lies in want to-day because their

12. Because men op out of their

, 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 ?

totton "Futures,"
A New York cotton dealer, in s
letter noticing the effect of the estab
lishment of the Cotton Exchange oi
ti??t city in' developing the business
in cotton for future delivery, which
has now attained such vast propor
tions, takes occasion to give to the
planters of the South a bit of whole
some and timely advice? 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.
New and improved machinery for
finning'cannot fail to pay large divi
eil ds, as low grades containing sand,
leaf or seed cannot be delivered, and
always find a hard ami unsatisfacto
ry market. 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. A' bale
of cotton weighing about four hun
dred pounds, and in good corder, of
any grade, from good ordinary to
good middling, including half grades,
returns to the owner it\ "lujl grade
value according to contract price.
Lower grades, or singular cottons, do
not, and the sooner the planter
finds it out and acts upon it the bet- (
ter for him and for his agent in this
market, as well as all concerned.".

' Railroad Bond. Swindles? .
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. No man but a cow
ard is afraid to assert that he will
fight for liberty ?nd country.
