The following is the text of Presiders -6.o,Ap4oievoVst
proclamation of amnesty :—" WashingkOti;'.Djeci:
Whereas, the President of the United States hasiiiieF,
Vlore set forth several proclamations offer% suhtesty
and pardon to persons who were concerned in the late
rebellion against the Government of the United States,
which proclamations were severally issued on the Bth
day of December, 1863 ; 26th day of March, 1864 ;
29th day of May, 1865 ; 7th day of September, 1867 ; and
on the 4th day of July, 1868 ; whereas the authority of
the Federal Government having been re-established in all
the States and territories within the jurisdiction of the
United States, it is believed that such prudential preserva-
tions and exceptions as were deemed necessary may be
now wisely and justly relinquished, and that a universal
amnesty and pardon for all participation in said rebel-
lion will tend to secure permanent peace, order, and
prosperity throughout the land, and to renew and fully
restore confidence and fraternal feeling among the whole
people. and their respect for and attachment to the
national Government, designated by its patriotic founders
for the general good—now, therefore, be it known that I,
Andrew -Johnson, President of the United States, by
virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the
Constitution, and in the name of the sovereign people of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and declare uncondi-
tionally and without reservation to all and to every person
who, directly or indirectly, participated in the late insur-
rection or rebellion, a full pardon and amnesty for the
offence of treason against the United States, or of adher-
ring to their enemies during the late civil war, with
restoration of all rights, privileges, and immunities
under the Constitution and the laws which have been
made in pursuance thereof. In testimony whereof X
have hereunto set my hand and seal, &c., &c.
" ANDREW JOHNSON.-
This full pardon and amnesty of President Johnson
includes Jefferson Davis, Breckenridge, Jacob Thompson,
Mason, Slidell, and all others who were directly or
indirectly engaged in the late insurrection or rebellion.
The parties above-named are now in foreign countries. The
proclamation excited but little comment in Washington,
and was regarded as a matter of little moment by Demo,
crate and Moderate Republicans. Extreme Radicals, how.
ever, deemed it to be another Presidential " outrage,"
""4 a few of the more violent suggested another

nment. A rumour obtained circulation in Wash.
asYgtion on the 26th that Messrs. Mason, Slit; Beechen.
ridge, Benjamin, and Wigfall had sent despatches
anxiously inquiring the exact nature of -the protection
which the President's amne!r proclamation would afford
them in case of iheir return to the United States.

NAPOLEON'S saying at St. llelena that fifty years
would not elapse without leaving Europe either Cos-
sock or Republican, has had, since the utterance of
the words, every now and then a whimsical illustra-
tion. Of these illustrations, Spain is just now afford-
ing the latest, and certainly not by any means the
least remarkable. The haughtiest and most monar-
chical of nations during a long series of centuries, it
has now discarded, almost contemptuously, the last of
its Bourbon Sovereigns, and appears to be educating
itself, with a sort of complacent deliberation, in
the dogmas of Democracy. When ISABELLA II
withdrew across the frontiers, there was a talk of a
Republic being formed as the result of her dethrone-
ment. The only obstacle to its being so formed was
the fact of there being no Republicans anywhere
discoverable throughout the Peninsula. 'lime has
since then been running on—days, weeks, months
have elapsed, and already a tolerably respect-
able number of advocates of Republicanism has
46 cropped up" in various directions among the six-
teen or seventeen millions of the Spanish population.
PRIM—SERRANO —EsPAßTEßo—anysufficiently popu-
lar political and military:chieftain, might, with no
small hope of success, aspire to assume authority
permanently as ruler of the nation in the capacity
of President of a new and Republican form of Go-
vernment. The Spanish nation, since the Queen was
got rid of, has, it is true, been coquetting now with one
dynasty now with another, to the end that it might, if
posssble, find amongst the younger members of one
of the reigning Royal houses in Christendom a suitable
suceessor to the throne vacated by the QUEEN'S expa-
triation. All this would really, appear to belittlebetter,
however, than the merest make-believe. It has served
the purpose of filling up time, and has so far been of
use that it has afforded the country at large leisure
for a calm and deliberate reconsideration of the whole
political position before its final selection shall have
been made as to the new form to be allotted to its
Government upon its final reconstruction. As yet
the Government, sucia as it is, is simply provisional.
PRIM and SERRANO, for the time being, are masters of
the situation. But they are so simply until such period
has come to the interregnum as shall admit of the
nation declaring for itself what its definitive choice is
as to its future form of Government. The Prince of
the ASTURIAS —the ex-King-Consort of PORTUGAL—
the Duke of EDINBURGH—Prince NAPOLEON—the
Duc DE MOSTPENSIER—the Duke D'Aosra—these,
and others, have all been mentioned, and have
had their claims more or less forcibly and seri-
ously discussed and deliberated upon, as candidates
for the crown dropped in the dust the other diy at
Madrid by Queen ISABELLA—scared at the tidings
that her hour had come, and that Gen. PRIM, among
others, was advancing at the head of a large body of
insurgents. One after another these candidates have
been, set aside as unsuited for the emergency, or at
any rate as distasteful to the mass of the very
people it was being proposed that they should bo

AMONG the social questions which have been dis-
cussed during the present off season co-operation has
come up. It might have been thought that such a
history as that which we describe in another column,
the history of the realisation of what was sarcastically
called " the weavers' dream," would have effectually
settled the question as towhether co-operative societies
can be made successful commercially. Yet this is by
no means universally admitted. Mr. DIXON, one of
the members for Birmingham, mentions that where
one society has succeeded ten have failed. The cause
of the failures which he assigns shews that there is
no necessity for them. That cause is simply the want
of proper management. Men have formed an
association to supply themselves with certain
articles, but having no knowledge as to the best
means of purchasing these articles, have bungled,
and the result is that the members of the association
are worse off than they would have been if they had
atill continued to pay the grocer the high prices he
demanded. Yet the difficulty was susceptible of an
easy remedy. It was necessary only to obtain the
services of some competent man as a manager, and
all would have gone well. It may be argued that in
that case the co-operators might just as well have kept
to the grocer, since he was nothing more than a com-
petent manager, doing for them the very work which
they wanted done. But this is not so. The grocer who '
has a large shop expects something more than the
remuneration which would be given to a manager.
Not only would he need a higher payment for his
time, but he would expect a profit on his capital, and
it is just this which, under the co-operative system,
goes into the pockets of the purchaser instead of
into that of the seller.

The Archbishop said,--" Two things, my breth-
ren, never die—the loveliness of nature and the
Church of God. Go by the road that winds along
the shore of Thrasymene, and you trace alone in
the pages of history the outlines of the mor-
tal agony of the Roman legions, snared in
that fatal pass, and dying in thousands in the
deadly conflict. Go there now, -and where the
battle raged you see nought save corn, and wines,
and olives ; where the legions fought and fell the
vinedresser prunes his stock and the peasant drives
his oxen, and only the sunshine of heaven is re-
flected in the silver lake. Not a stain or rift re-
mains on the earth to tell the tale of blood and
strife and mortal anguish. The undying fructivity
of the earth has swept away every trace of the past.
So, of the combats the Church has waged ; no stain,
no mark remains save piety towards her com-
batants and defenders. The cause for which St,
Thomas fought, and the principle for which he
shed his blood, are fresh and undying. He died
for the liberty of the Church of God, for her pre-
rogatives, and the heart of the Church retains a
vivid remembrance of her faithful soldier. To-day,
my brethren, we are met to honour his feast. Bccket's
crown is desolate. There is no festival chant in Can-
terbury, and it is sad to think that in the place
of his martyrdom no memory is made of it. But
here afar, in Rome—Rome which he so loved, and
for which he died--amid the glories of the Holy
City, and under the guardianship of the Vicar of
Jesus Christ, we are met to celebrate his memory.
The theme is so wide and so varied a one that I dis-
spair of treating it save in bare outline. Two lines
of historians record the actions of men—the histo-
rian who writes in the spirit of the Church, and he'
whose hired pen deals With human acts according

A correspondent sends to us a description or a scene
at Euston Station, the metropolitan terminus of the
London and North - Western Railway, which he
says should make every lover of his country " blush
from head to foot." A detachment of soldiers
who had served in India, and were on their way to
their headquarters in Manchester, were brought into the
station to be forwarded by that train ; but the process
of getting them safely seated and sent off was almost
more than a match for the patience and energy of the
officers in command. Nearly every second man was
under the influence of drink ; and as every soldier
in such a predicament was sunk in the sot, the
exhibition was painful in the extreme. Caps were mis-
&rig, coats were torn, and every sign of military smartness
and discipline was `conspicuous by its absence.' Some of
the more boisterously inclined, when locked in the
carriages, climbed out at the windows ; one man had to be
bound hand and foot and thrust under a seat, and another
man attempted suicide while in the train. Yet (our
correspondent continues) these men had spent years in
India ; many had undergone great hardships and
perils ; and all were on their way to get
more money, which would be wasted in similar
excesses. " Surely," exclaims our informant, " these
gallant but weak-minded fellows could have been kept,
during their transit through London, from thus degrading
themselves and the service•they represent; and surely the
new Secretary of War has a splendid field of reform open
to him in devising, if he can, some plan by which the
British soldier c in be protected against his most seductive
but bitterest enemy—intoxicating drink."

THE EXCELSIOR MUSICAL SOCIETY.—The
bers of this excellent society assembled last evening at the
George Hotel, Aldermanbury—the president, Mr. J. Gil-
lard, occupying
the chair. The programme contained one
or two novelties, the chief and most praiseworthy being a
new ballad by the veteran Horneastle, the pianist to the
society, entitled, " The Bridal Morn of May." It was
entrusted to Mr. Henry Gillard, who sang it with so much
taste and expression that he not only succeeded
in eliciting loud applause for himself, but a general con-
gratulation for the composer, who accompanied him. Mr.
Haynes was not quite equal to Arditi's " Stirrup Cup ;"
neither did Mr. Johnson quite do justice to Wallaee's
"Bell Ringer," and had each gentleman been less ambiti-
ous a better result would have been obtained. Mr. Whit-
field gave a very sweet old song by Arne, and Mr. Pratt
sang "Her bright smile haunts me still" very nicely, but
he would have improved it very much had ho infused a
little more warmth and feeling into it. Mr. Cantle gave
Dr. Leslie's song, "Four Jolly Smiths," in such capital
style that it became one of the features of the evening .
There were, of course, some recitations, but, with the
single exception of "The Charge of the Light Brigade,"
they were dull and pointless. Mr. C. Lynes attempted some-
thing about " Poor Pheaton," but as far as could be heard
it was poor, weak, and ridiculous twaddle. If variety in
the entertainment is required in the programme, why not
organise an instrumental quartette party ; that would be
far preferable to bad writing and worse reading, and a
step in an onward direction. However, improvement is
developing itself slowly but surely amongst the members,
and when vulgarity and absurdity have found their level,
as in the natural order of things, they both must, the
Excelsior, thanka_to the persevering.efforts of the com-
mittee and Ur. Hatch, their active secretary, will be one
of the best nattoicaloocietien in London.

At the Northallerton Sessions the girl Scales, who
loi.coned the family with whom she lived as servant, at
Pickering, was put upon her trial. She is only 13 years of
age, and it was evident—though the fact may afford little
satisfaction to the sufferers—that she mixed the poison with
the sugar not with a felon'ous intent, but merely to punish
two members of the family who had annoyed her. This was
the view the jury took of the case, and she was therefore
merely sentenced to one clay's imprisonment, and then to be
cent home to her mother.

Another objection to co-operation has more force.
