"Wily tho Disabilities of Bant her M Men no not Removed. t'Mr.ck1' writes from Washington lo Hie Cin? cinnati Enquirer : People must not misunderstand the motives or Congress In refusing to grant a general umnc.st v, and preter? lug to pass lillis every now and then giving pardons to specially-named individuals. This course ls pursued for a purpose baser and mor? vile than mere politics. Not alone thal they arc (bus enabled lo drum up t ?Tora I lu for tho Re? publican party in the South by excluding all who lean to the Democratic parly from the privilege or amnesty. Tho chief object ls to keep open tito door for corruption ami bribery. A general amnesty would yield no mo? ney; individual amnesties can be, ami often arc, made a source of revenue to tho men Who deal them out. 1 cannot sny positively that any mem? ber cf Congress has becu paid directly for secur? ing thc Insertion of a name In an amnesty bill, bul I can say that persons have paid as high as $100 for that privilege. Thc money ls paid lo thc Influential friends or Radical members of the Re? construction-Committee; a..J 1 tako it that this stale of affairs ls not entirely unknown to thoso members. Men come here from thc South to get their disabilities removed. They wnnt to bc eli? gible fer office of some kind. They are very soon directed to some o ne "who can have their names in? serted in tho next bill,' and for this insertion they 1 arc willing to pay liberally. Their money In taken nor do 1 bcllcvo lt all goes Into th pockets of thc men who Oral received lt. Thcso are fact J of which every member or Congress ls aware. Timo was when the mero suspicion or this truth would have called for a searching Investigation. Rut corruption stalks so shamelessly abroad, and so penetrates every department of the government now-from thc Executive who sells bin Cabinet positions to thc highest bidder, lo tho bureau chiefs who extort dollar donations from the starving clerks under them-that lt ls dangerous to start an Inquiry, beoanso it ls impossible to tell where ll will slop or lo what ll will lead. One or these dnys tho pcoplo will wake up to the fact that grea? ter crimes rany lie commuted against a nation by thieves disguised In tho livery of loyally lliun by brave men wearing openly Hie uniform of re? bellion. -Thc New York Herald or Monday says : ?At eleven o'clook yesterday morning a paule oc? curred in St. James Roman Catholic.

Well, ns I said Just now, thc drat meeting rently settled the question in London, and the nblc and active agents or the rebels, backed by thc majority (as I readily allow) or our upper classes, nev dared try the experiment of a public meeting, in Lan? cashire thc attempt was made, and was a ludic? rous failure, while thc Union and Kmauclpntion Hue I ot y of Manchester held large and en thu si lis? le meei lugs everywhere lu the midst of tho poor, "demurring" operatives, who never for a mo? ment flinched rrom their principles, and every? where sternly refused to lin - a Anger or pass a resolution which helped or encouraged the slave power.

Thc welt-lnt'orined i,midon corresponden! of ihc New York Times wrilus: Tho question of cheap cotton ls fell more nnd moro to bc onu ol Ufo and death te Lancashire. Nothing else can save thu greatest manufactur? ing Interests In thc Untied Kingdom. Thu Man? chester Cotton Supply Association has been un? wearied In Its Impunes us to where cheap cotton can be hail, but hitherto with no success. Alge? ria ls loo dry; Italy lias loo ninny products; tue West Indies lind lt easier to misc coffee nnd su? gar; Hrazll needs roads and labor; Puru hus thc latter dlillculty; Australia has good cotton re? gions, but men will not work no near gold dig? gings; for less than len shillings a day ; China aud Japan cnn raise plenty or colton, but they have manufactories of lucir own, and have even carried off '200,00o bolus In a year from tho Horn bay market, when tho price Bulled them. Thc In? dia cotton ls poor and dear; 11 can bu produced In pretty large quantities as long as the price is high; when tl fulls Hie natives either spin il them? selves or stop producing. Egypt and Turkev can raise a good deal, and sumo of good quality, but Austria, near ai hand, amt Russia, arc getting io bc large consumers. Alter nil,.the dlillrulty is not wholly In the sup? ply of thu raw material. France, Switzerland and Ucrinany can buy cotton lu Liverpool, take ll home, manufacture ll and send tl to Manchester for sale and make money by lt. As long as that state of tilings exists, what id to savo Lancashire? Take 011?your dulles on colton goods and they would serve you tho same. As the world Is now arranged, free trade means the devil take thc hindmost, and Just ut this moment Lancashire ls the hindmost. 1 am and always have becu for free trade In thc abstrae!. In the concrete I don't seuit. There will bc universal free trade In tit* mlllenlum. THE IiYKOtf BUSINESS. A New Solution of tlie Mystery. An entirely new solution of thc Byron mys? tery ts furnished by a writer In ibo Madras Mall, who says thal "lils father bad lt from one of Lord Byron's most Intimate friends." According to this lively correspondent, whoso story wc find In thc Echo, "Lord Byron, was, in a sense, a devil."

Poor Lady Hy ron never recovered wildly rrom tin; shock caused by her discovery of what her husband rani y wns; and partly t brough excess nf imagination, partly In consequence of bad ndvlcu from persons who shall ho nameless, sim felt ll to lie lier duty to In ?1st upon her husband subjecting himself io cer? tain painful Operations. But this Lord Byran ob? stinately refused to do.
