LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1865.

The cessation of outward hostilities in America
does not appear to have restored internal tran-
quillity. It is one of the evils of civil war that it
leaves so much bitterness and contention behind it.
Not only is there the lingering feud between the
two great antagonistic parties, but there are a
thousand different feelings called into action—
rival
ends to gain, rival policies to forward, and
rival methods of subduing the vanquished into total
submission. All these agencies seem now to be at
work in America, where circumstances render the
task of re-organisation especially difficult. The
very nature of the constitution of the State fosters
division, while the great problem of slavery in the
background adds tenfold to the natural difficulties
of pacification. To add to these obstables—the
sudden change in the leadership of the Government,
the transfer of power from tried to untried hands,
and the uncertainty felt by all parties as to the
exact views and intentions of President JOIINSON
and his friends, are serious elements of discord. It
is no great wonder that Mr. JOHNSON himself finds
the cares of State somewhat burdensome, or that
his physical health should show traces of their
effects. In his own Cabinet even there are dissen-
sions, and a great difference of opinion is said to
exist respecting his reconstruction schemes. He
is apparently determined at present to ad-
here to his own policy, though whether
time and reflection will induce him to modify the
obnoxious $20,000 clause remains to be seen. If
he is really in earnest in his wish to tranquillise the
Southern States, and to restore order and prosperity
to their industrial and commercial classes, he must
certainly alter that exception to the amnesty most
completely. As it stands it bears the appearance
of loyalty to the Union, being a mere cloak for
aggression, and the love of country being made to
serve. the purposes of private greed or malice.
Allowing the clause to be intended to exclude all
who were in any way disaffected, it is strange that
the mere limit of $20,000 should be such a marvel-
lous test ! The poet tells us that-- •

" Success is virtue, and misfortune blame ;"
but the Transatlantic doctrine reverses the order,
and, like the patriotic " citizens" of the Reign of
Terror, its advocates are disposed to see treason in
any one by whose possessions they may profit. The
excessive stringency of these conditions appears
rather to be producing recklessness than caution.
After the fashion of all arbitrary severity it drives
the people to the opposite extreme ; and, accord-
ingly, in North Carolina, we are told that " wealthy
leaders of the late rebellion" have been feting re-
turned rebel soldiers, and that a public dinner was
proposed to be given to the latter, but it was pre-
vented by the authorities. This was certainly an
interference which might have been reasonably
expected, but we find another paragraph showing
that official interference in the States sometimes
passes the prescribed limits. In Kentucky it seems
the military authorities have controlled the election,
and the opposition voters haieTheen " driven from
the polls by the military officials." Is this Mr.
BRIGHT'S idea of a new Reform Bill ? His poli-
tical model has taken an energetic mode of securing
purity of election ; perhaps he will suggest its
adoption in this country as the newest American
position ! Notwithstanding this new mode of em-
ploying the superfluous military energies of the idle
troops, the taxpayers of America may rejoice to see
the reduction which has taken place in the forces.
Since the first of May 700,000 men have been mus-
tered out of the Federal service, leaving however,
so vast was the army, still more than 300,000 on
the pay rolls ! Certainly when the Americans take
up any new line they sooner eclipse the older and
more cautious nations, and with such figures at
the War-office we need not wonder that their na-
tional debt has grown like the beanstalk of famous
memory, even without the frauds and defalcations
which in too many quarters have crippled the
national resources. Frauds in the States are, like
everything else, gigantic, and a defalcation which
has just been discovered at New York is quietly
estimated at a quarter of a million. Acci-
dents, too, are on the same scale, and a
steamer collision on Lake Huron has just
resulted in the loss of one hundred lives. Among
ourselves the death of eight or ten persons on a
railway, or the misappropriation of forty or fifty
thousand pounds, are considered to be startling
events, but in the country of the Mississippi and
Niagara the scale of proportion seems to be different.
Happily, the energies of the people and the resources
of the country are on the same scale as its draw-
