Johnston, late of the . Confederate'service, has received a full pardon : from the President, through the influence of Mr. Seward. This is the first pardon yet granted to a foD- general in the Confederate ? 'service. -The Great Erie war, which occupied so mach of the time of the courts during the -winter and spring months, was renewed on Monday. Already three injunctions have been issued. The prc--ent difficalty originated in an * attempt to reujovo Messrs. James Fisk and , Jay Gould from the Board of Directors. -The celebrated long-winded gelding John .Stowart, at Rivereide Park, Boston, trotted ten - miles in twenty-eight minutes two and a half -seconds, on Tuesday-the best previous time being twenty-eight minutes eight and a half . seconds. The money pending was $1500 against i $1000 on time; th? horse having to beat the best fen-miles time ever made. ?The bill for the discontinuance of the Freed man's Bureau, which has? been reported back 1 favorably to the Senate, provides that the Bu- ' reau shall be withdrawn on the 1st of next * January; frfm all the Southern States repre- e .sented in Congress; the educational depart? ment, however, to be continuad until otherwise j ordered. The bill also provides for the oon- , tinuance in office for life of the present Com- . missioner, General 0. O. Howard, his place to be filled, in the event of his death or resigua- j tion, by appointment of the President, with 1 ?he consent of the Senate. * < -The New York Tribune, comme n ting upon ] the abstract of General Scott's forthcoming , message? published in Tax DAILY NEWS, says : , "Governor Scott's message to . the new Leg- . isla turo of South Carolina is a model of wise . -and generous statesmanship. Its rec o mm en dation that the Legislature abolish all political < disabilities, so that every citizen may vote and I - hold office, notwithstanding his prominence in ] the late rebellion, ia the dictate of naked goo d ( -sense, but of that good sense true courage is a ( -vital.ingredient. Let the'present Legislature ] proclaim and ftact universal amnesty, and it will be wholly impossible for the minority ever 1 to a ab ve rt. impartial suiErago. South Carolina 1 is fairly on the highroad to lasting peace, and . xor this much credit is due to Governor Scott.'* ] -A few weeks since London had one of the | largest musical festivals ever given. Theme- , tropolis could not furnish singers in sufficient i ( numbers, and almost every large town in Eng? land where there is a choral society was dnrm -upon. These several bands were separately ' trained and only came together as a grand < -chorus on Friday before the festival. The great choir reached over thirty-five hundred, ? ; and the orchestra consisted of five hundred < performers. The festival was given in the - Crystal Palace, which had been so arranged as . io accommodate an audience of thirty thou ! sand persone. The performances were wholly of HandeTe compositions, the oratorios of the -"Messiah" and ''Israel in Egypt" being given , in full, together with selections from six other -oratorios. The soloists included all the beet opera and oratorio singers now in Loudon, Miss Kellogg being one ot the number. 1 - The Anglican Church, while claiming to 1 be the only religious organization entitled to ; respect in Great Britain, does not treat the : lower orders of the clergy in a way calculated to support the dignity of the establishment. 'For instance, in the Guardian there recently appeared an advertisement headed "A Curate and his sister wanted," and then proceeding, ; "the curat? to assist the rector, the sister to be daily governess to the rector's children; the ?curate in time to take part in educating the . -children;- the stipend at first to be according to the qualifications and experience of the sister." This method of treating an assistant xkrgyman as a hireling will do more to break down the Established Church than all the efibrls of Gladstone to regulate the Irish -Church. Of this result many good church? men are conscious, and are now complaining that curates are advertised for without any re? gard for their spiritual calling. Wanted, a gardener and his wife, or a footman and house? maid, appear in the same columns in which a situation is offered to a curate and his sister. -Tho .great German Sch?tzenfest in New York, now in progress in Jones' Woods, began on Saturday last, and will be kept up the whole of this week. These great festivals are a pecu? liarity of the German people. They gather by thousands and engage in their favorite sports, -enjoy, themselves to the full without allowing their sociableness to degenerate into riot, and disperse in good humor to meet again harmoniously. As a New York contemporary puts it, "they have com? passed the mystery of getting merry with? out getting drunk, and a free fight is not one of those blessings of perfect liberty for which they are ever sighing in philosophy and song. The particular gathering now taking place in -New York is very interesting. Germans from the Fatherland are there with Germans from . almost every State in the Union, to compete -for prizes valued at above $30,000. King Wil barn of Prussia has sent, among other objects to be contended for, a needle gun. The days are occupied with manly sports, and the even? ings are devoted to a continual round of balls, concerts and suppers. It ia such an aimil as uot only j?ivea pleasure to those pirticipating in the festivities, but also makes New York thoroughly happy as when a Prince of Wales or a Chinese embassy is doing it the favor to make a temporary halt between its two rivers." CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, JULY ?, 13C8. _k_? Amnesty. ^J The amnesty proclamation^tJ>^issue of which was first predicted in a special dis? patch to THE DAILY NEWS some weeks ago, is to day flashed over thc wires to every part of this broad land.'. Right worthily- j has President JOHNSONd?ne hispwfT?n ike restoration of peace an^O**-T the Union; and though the ro^?h? .oi a Radical Con? gress moy continue'i^'i^jll at his course to the end of his terre/hi3 place in history is assured among the7 eminent men who have dared to encounter * undeserved obloquy and persecution for the sake of their coun? try's weal. Tb? Plethora of Money. A plethora of money is a sign of com? mercial 'uncertainty and want of confidence in the country in which U prevails. When, as in England, money is vainly offered at one per cent, per annum, or, as in France, at two per cent, per annum, it is because business trust has been broken, and because an era of fraud and panic, or of riot and warfare, has been succeeded by an era of | timidity and distrust. Money accumulates at the great financial centres whenever in? dustry is retarded and enterprise checked, and it is this accumulation of capital, which the owners are afraid to use in ordinary monetary affairs, that causes bank coffers to overflow and money to go begging for borrower. New York is now in the same plight as London and Paris. Loans can be had at three per cent, on call, and the best com? mercial paper is not worth more than five or six per cent. There has been no great panic for more than ten years, no greater disaster than a fratricidal, war, yet capital? ists are fearful of undertaking the simplest business operation. And there is far more reason why this feeling should prevail here than in the JIUU and more stable commu? nities across the Atlantic. Congress ia playing ducks and drakes with expendi? tures and taxation. The country has been three years at peace, and is now nearer a war than it was two years ago. Our finances are in confusion. The tariff and revenue laws are controlled by legislators who are as capable as they are disinterested. A general election is at hand, and the choice is to be made between a government of law and a government of force. In fact, no capitalist or pauper knows what to? morrow may bring forth, and tire end of it ill is that money is abundant, because no iee can be fouad for it secure eaough to latisfy the possessor. ~ven poor South Carolina is feeling the inancial plethora. Money is borrowed iaily at seven per cent., and paper has fallen from three per cent, to one per cent, per month. The banks are full, while in the country districts money is hoard id in every direction. At one Court nouse, there is lying for safekeeping in the Faults of the defunct bank more money han the same bank ever had on deposit in .ts palmiest days. This will be fouad to oe the case in more than one place, and here is scarcely a farmer or shopkeeper in he State who has not contrived to lay by a ittle something to keep the wolf from the ioor. The money wonld be used in trade ind agriculture but for Radicalism and negro suffrage; and if the people had only reasonable confidence in the stability of I nings, we should soon cease to miss the fourteen millions of bank capital that we lad before the war. All that we want, all .hat the whole republic wants, is .a resto? ration of harmony and peace, a settlement }f the finances, a liberal regulation of the :ariff, tax and revenue laws, and the vic? tory of the Democracy ia the Presidential election. Gives us but these, and money will rise in the market, trade will revive, ind the vast resources and wealth of our State and oar sister States would be speed ly developed. Negro Votes. Mississippi is following the example of South Carolina, and her colored people are voting heavily on the side of the Southern Democracy. This is already exciting un? easiness, as the Radicals begin to feel that even thc n-gro may ultimately desert them and* find his home with the children of his former master. Nor is this surprising. With the excep? tion of a barren vote and the right to work, what have the negroes received from the North ? They were told that there was corn and bacon galore in sto;e for them; they were feasted on descriptions of roast pig; they were baited to the last with prom? ises of "a mule and forty acres of land." Neither of the promised blessings has made its appearance. The negro has paid for his school, paid his lecturer, paid for the poor privilege of being married twice, paid well for every scrap of comfort that came from his Northern friend?, and what has he been granted in return ? Nothing more than the power to walk in procession, to fire rockets, to serenade PILLSBURY or Randolph, to vote his white colleagues into fat offices, and take for himself positions to whick no sal? ary is attached. This is all, and the freed? man is far from being happy. Now, he begins to believe that all the white Southerners are not rebels and trait? ors. They have always treated him well, nursed his child wheo it was sick, helped him with money and credit to become a rumbling drayman. Can they all be rogues, thieves and swindlers, as the arch-devil of the Loyal League courteously dubs them ? This is the question being asked and an? swered ia a myriad minds, and the reply will be all that the quaking Radicals fear. It would be no more than a fit retribution if the Radicals should be ousted by negro votes; and if the Southern whites continue to be good and friendly to the blacks, it is quite possible that the reconstruction ma? chine may prove, in the ead, oae of those pits which the wicked dig aad fall into themselves.

THE PRIME CAUSE OF STEAM BOILER EX? PLOSIONS AHISE3 FROM A DEFICIENCY OF WiTERfTN THE EOILER WHILE IN ACTION. EXPLOSIONS FROM DEFICIENCY OF WATER. Low water In steam boilers is no unusual occur? rence. Imminent danger frequently arises from thi* cause, aud it cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of engineers, that there is no part ot the apparatus constltuiing the mountings of a boiler which requires greateratiention than that which sup? plies it with water, In a properly constru. ted boil? er every part of the metal exposed to the action of the fire should te in immediate contact with the wa t-r, and when proper provision ia made to maintain the water at a sufficient height above the parts so exposed, accidents can never occur from this cause, should the water, however, get low from defects in the pump, and the surface over the fire teconio over? heated, then, evtn at the ordinary working pressure, there is great danger of au explosion. The:e Is no occasion, under men circumstances, lo search furth? er for the cause of explosion, from the fact that the material, when overheated to a certain degree loses about five-sixths of its strength, and is, therefore, unable to resist the internal pre-surc. When a boiler becomes short of water, the first thing usual? ly doue is to put the feed pump in action; this cer? tainly remedies the deficiency, hut increases t)je danger, aud may lead to the explosion of the boiler. Ashcroft"-. Loir Water Detector Is eminently fitted to guard against accidents caused by low water. It need3 not the care or atteution ot the engineer or fireman to keep it in order. Opera? ting by the force of natural laws, lt takes caro of it? self, and is only called into action by the fall of the water below any fixed level, and then it gives the alana to oil within sound of the whistle of a defi? cient supply ol water. It stands as a tratchful monitor .ovtr the magizine of power on which it is placed, and not only guards it, but notifies the attendant, if he is forgetful or negligent ofhis duty. JOHN .F.
