l8r The New York Times says there
has not been timein this generation when
the language of the North and South to-
ward each other has been so respectful and
considarate as since the war., The Times
says that the Northern idea that the South
had degenerated into race Of efeminate
braggarts, and the Southern idea that the
North had lost every element Of manhood
in the passion for gain, and would submit
to anything rather than Eight, have both
been entirely annihilsted. The tug for
four years has shown the stuff Of the men
on both sidss.of Masou's and Dixoh,s line.

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON.

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON.
His Excellency Governor Perry has fur.
nished the Greenville Moantaineer with the
following rules to be observed in making
applications for Pardon:
The Petition must be addressed to Hi
E1csllency Andrew johnson, President Of
the United States.
IL should state the residence, occupation
and ageeof the applicant.
Which of the fourteen exceptions he is
liable to, and that he is excluded from the
clemency of the Amnesty Proclamation by
none of the other exceptions. -
Let him state fairly and truthfully, any
circumstances which may entitle him to Elk.
ecutive clemency.
Hemust express his loyalty to the Union,
and his purpose, in good faith, topreserve
and maintain it for the future.
He must state that no proceedings have
been taken out against him or his property
under the confscation act.
There are two oaths to be endorsed OF
accompany his petition-one that he has
read the Amnesty Proclamation, and is not
liable to any other of the fourteen excep.
tions, than those stated in his Petition
the other oath is thas prescribed in the Am
nesty Proclamation of President johnson.
Where any person is in doubt, as to
whether his taxable property amounts to
over twenty thousand dollars, it is safer to
make application for pardon and state his
doubts. The valuation Of the property
must be at the date of President Johnson's g
Proclamation. All property must be in.
cluded which is liable to be taxed, lands,
money at interest, Bank stocks, &c.
It is not necessary for Post Masters, who
were not appointed by the President and
approved by the Senate of the so.called
Confederate Government, to apply for par.
don. They were not so appointed unless
their perquisites amounted to $1,000. It is
understood the Attorney General has deci-
ded as above stated.
AS to what participation in the rebellion
renders an application necessary, it may be
answered, any, "airectly or iadirectly."
The Petition should be written on fools.
cap paper, and folded twice, with the wri.
ting, and not across it.
The name of the applicant and nothing
more, should be endorsed on the Petition
after being folded.
All applications made to the Provisional
Governor win be forwarded by him 70 the
President, unless otherwise directed.

The New York Times speaking Of North
ern sentiment and expectations about th'
South says:
awe Cthe northern people and authori
ties) are too exacting also in regard to tht
political action Of the Southern people,
We expectthsm, now that the war is owe
and they are beaten, to become at once
not only loyal citizens, obeying all the laws
and sustaining fully the national authority
but thorough-going abolifioniats, and adyo
Gates of negro suffrage. Anything shor
Of this we consider halfway loyalty ant
think they have not been whipped quite
enough yet. We denounce them as still
Secessionists at heart, and call for thei
exclusion from the rights Of citizenship:
This is unreasonable and unHise. W.
have really nothing to do with their hearts
We have no right to exact the complete
change of sentiment and feeling which w
demand. We have right to insist tha
they shall obey the law, that they shall ac
knowledge and respect the national author
tity, and conduct themselves as peaceful
law.abiding citizens. If they do this, we
can demand nothing more. They may be-
lieve in their hearts what they please; they
may feel as they like about the war and the
government; they may be at heart rebel
lious still; but that is really none OF oul
business. We cannot control their; opin'
ions or their sentiments; We can and raust
control their conduct, but that is all. No,
is it reasonable to expect that the mass Of
the Southern people can or will become
suddenly deyotees Of doctrines and senti.
ments which they have hitherto abhorred,
and against which they have staked their
fortunes and their lives. Men do not thus
instantly change their whole natures on com.
pulsicn. And any ostentatious pretensions
Of such change would be hypocritical.-
The great body Of the Southern people
were unquestionably honest and sincere in
the opinions, the prejadices and the resent.
men.s which led them to rebel against the
Government; and it would be folly to sup.
pose that those feelings would all be at
once eradicated by the simple fact that they
have been beaten in the field. A radical
change in the sentiments of the Southern
people, concerning slavery and the purpose
and temper of the national authority, can

aNow, as 10 this amendment 70 our State
Constitution Whereby the negro shail be
permitted to vote in Ohio, I would ssgthat
my only objection to it Ia Chat Idoa,t think
it is to interest Of the black man to settle
in Ohio. Slavery being abolished in the
Southern States now, I think the climate,
soil and productions Of the South are much
better fitted for him, and he for them, than
at the North. I should be sorry to mislead
the negro from his true interests; hence 1
think it would be unwise to invite him to
come here, as We would by giving him the
right of suffrage here. The true friend to
the black man will discharge his duty to
him better by advising him to seek cli-
mate where slavery does not exist--a oil.

s AN ADVENTUROUS FEMALE-SHE
Wins Her WAaER.--An evening or two
since, q. well known gentleman and lady,
in this city, both single, made wager of
$I00 forthe performance of aspecifed act,
BY the lady, to which the gent staked his
two fifties that she would NOT have the
courage to ful6l her promise. The wager
was IS follows:
tsThat on Friday morning, August 4, be-
tween the hours Of 10 and IL, the lady
wonld go up to strange gentleman, on
Fourth, between Main and LudloW' streets,
and kiss him, the said gentleman kissed 70
be q person who never chswed tobaceo.n
The Bet was curious one, but our heroine
determined tosmake the effort to win, and
being nearly related to an ex.oopgressman,
she felt that her adventurous conduct would
not, if discovered and made public, be re-
garded as impertinent or Indecent. >.
On Friday morning she dressed herself
in her prettiest, and leaving the fine stone
residence Of her parenpsshe sauntered to
the Fourth.street race course, where 300
was TO be lost or won, and conquest for
boldness and female chivalry verified. The
hour of ten arrived, and as the blushing
maiden gazed #istfafly on the lips of every
male passer.by to detect the tobacco juice
or its inevitable result on the teeth, she
discovered that:her friends, knowing the
secret, were in adyantageouspcaiti anx.
ionsly awaiting the sequel Of her cool and
intrepid t'acsion. Time few by, and the
indications we're apparent that the young
lady must lose. Still, nothing daunted,
she continued her keen, searching pursuit.
Alta few minutes past eleven O'clock. q
gray headed veteran, anold and highly res
pectable citizen, walking WeatHardiy, on
Fourth between Broadway and LUDLOW,
was suddenly brought up standing BY the
lady, who, throwing her arms around his
neck, kissed him fairly in the mouth.
The old gentleman was completely non.
plussed, and while standing all amazed and
neryously excited at the public ordeal he
had just passed through, the friandsIcane
up and asked, edo you chew tobacco,
Mr.. -w .No, gentlemen; I never
used tobacco of any kind in,alt my life. -
The gentlemen then explained the why's
and Wherefores of this episode, or street
recontre, and apologized to the aged citizen
for the assault and battery which he readily
accepted, with an intimation that the as.
sault might be repeated with no serious OBJ.
jections. The two ffties we're then paid
over, and the happy party returned to their
homes, highly delighted with their morn.
ing,s amusement. We may add that the
lady very gracefully rendered the old gen.
,tleman one Of the fifty dollar bills, which
be modessly declined, and added, 81 should
be the giyer; Miss, not the receiver" The
parties then made each others acquaintance,
and separated. d.-C Cincinnati Enquirer. -
