A New York special says the Pres
ident makes no secret of his DISPOSE.
ton to waive everything but Union
and emancipation for the sake Of re-
storing tranquility. When in Rich
mond, he arranged an outline for the
return Of Virginia to the Union.
The State Department has grounds
to belive the British government will
revoke the recognition of belligerent
rights to the Confederacy, on receipt
of the Presidents proclamation clos
ing ports, and declaring the blockade
ut an end. i1a y1a t
The proclamation in reference 10
closing the Southern ports is in accor-
dance with law passed in 1861. II
was then understood, however, that
while foreign powers would respect
an effective blockade of these ports, o
claim to exercise legal authority over
them as over other ports of the United
States would not be respected. 1t il
believed that the time has come, how.
ever, when the United States govern
ment can claim to exercise that legaI
authority over all ports, whether
bloekaded or not, which belongs te
every independent sovereign power
A sufficient number of southern ports
are left open for legitimate trade, and
those now proclaimed closed will, it j,
presumed, be re-opened after a time
Meanwhile the blockade running il
likely to be ended. The issuing o.
the proclamation is understood to have
been the basis op which Secretary
Seward was about to visit City Poin
to confer with the President last week
Another important proclamation wa'
issued on Monday, as follows:
BY the President.of the Unlted Suites, a Procla
NATION
Unereas, For some time past YES
sells of war of the United States have

eyes and inmunities to which they

time that vessels Of war of the county,
which in the said privileges and i'm
munities have been withheld, have en-
joyed them fully and uninterrupted,
in the ports Of the United States

ways been forc.bly resisted by til,

THE BoLDEsT On. SwISDLE ON Rec
ORD. There have been many huge
swindles perpetratsd in oil operations
during the past few months, but the
following, which is noticed in the
Titusville Reporter, eclipses anything
in the swindling line which we have
yet seen. It appears that certain par
ties who had been engaged in boring
near Franklin, visited the town one
day last week, stated that they had
struck oil, that their well was yielding
one hundred barrels per day, and that
they would sell out the whole thing
for $4,000 cash. A couple of gen.
tlemen were dispatched to look at the
we'll, and on arriving there, found
everything as represented, the ma
chinery in perfect operation, and the
well pumping into a huge tank very
good quality of oil, at fully the rate
indicated. The visitors egresd to in
vest, but wanted a few hours for de-
liberation. They accordingly returned
to Franklin and consulted some of the
best soil men," to ascertain the value
of such " supposable" investments
and were assured that it would be
worth 100000 at the least. This
settled the question, and they hurried
back to the owners, closed the bargain,
planked the cash, and prepared to
make their fortunes without delay
The next day it was found that the
old employees of the company had
left, but others were promptly install
ed, and the pumping resumed. Judge
the astonishmont of the purchasers
upon discovering that Notwithstanding
tho continual pumping and flow Of
oil, it did not rise in the tank! In
other words, there were "surface in
dications" of big leakage. The
pump was stopped, and an excavation
commenced at the side of the tank.
A few feet below a smaller tank was
found, communicating with the upper
by a small tube, through which the
oil was conducted. From the lower
tank another tube descended diagon-
ally to the we'll, about Is feet below
the surface, and at q still lower depth
the well was plugged. This device
for securing an inexhaustable well
could not we'll be improved. But the
victims couldn't see it," They went
back TO Franklin in search Of the
sharpers; but the latter were non sst,
and up to the present they have no,
been arrested. t M

OrR DEBT ASD THAT OF ESeIASD.--
How England carried her war debt Of
1915, and how she grew rich under
its burdens, and richer and richer, till
she is tho richest country in the Old
World, all men know. That debt in.
scribed in her Excheqnsr Books, was
nominally $916,000,000 The New
World has forgotten that, in the y
years Of her wars with France Eng
land expended upon her armies, hcI
navy, and her Continental subsidies
IS, All, 900, 900, derived from taxation
Her war debt should, of course, be
charged with this amount and then
it would have stood the stupendous
column in National Finance of ST, 33S,
000, 600 moro than three times as
vast as our own war debt Just at the
end Of the rebellion. In 1916, one
year after the peace treaty Of Paris,
when the British debt had attained
its maximum, the population of Great
Britain was 100000. In 1864, the
population of the loyal States OF
America was 25,000,000. In 1864,
the value Of the property of Great
Britain was estimated at SIC, 45O, 600,
900. The property of the loyal States
in that year was estimated at S13,
395, 100000. That years product in
Great Britain amounted to 81 ,667, i
600, 900. Those Of the loyal States
for the same year were SO, 500, 0OO,-
600. This comparison gives us Amer
leans the advantage over our pushing
cousins Of England of 80 per cent. in
population, 2S per cent. in property,
and 10 per cent in annual products

Tho Last Battle

pai The heavy and portentous cloud
p that has overhung tile nation at last
begins to rise. The surrender Of Gen.
io Lee deprives the oonfederacy of its
} most powerful army, and scatters
their forces in a manner that renders
Il, any organized warfare almost impos-
10 -sihlc, and we doubt not that the ar
z mics of Johnston, Kirby Smith, Har-
dee Mqgruder and Deauregard either
hare or will accept the terms which
may be offered. We therefore con-
- s,der the war at an end, and the last
battle fought.
-rqG There is, however, much political
- labor to DO performed, much forbear-
ance to be exercised, much forgiyness
tQ practice. The old States have their
p old constitutions to amend, or new
ones to adopt, and here will be a field
fruitful of discord and contention.-
Let us hope, however, that the liber-
ality of tho administration will not be
misunderstood, and that wise counsel
Twill bring us safely through the la
70 bJrs Of reconstruction, for we do not
suppose other terms will BIO talked
,iof by those in power, lut,ai o-'i

SAD CONDITION OF THB EMAScTPATED
NEeRoEs.---A Unitarian Clergyman
from New Hampshire. by the name
of Wheelock, now emrloyed by Gen.
Banks in Louisiana, in letter to Gar
RE on's Librator, thus describes the
condition Of the negroes as conse-
quence Of their emancipation by the
Presidents proclamation -
"On scores Of plantations labor was
wholly suspended, and the laborers in
hundreds, with their wives and little
ones, had gathered around the forts
and soldiers camps. There they
earned a precarious living by such un-
certain and intermittent employment
as they might find the men as SER
wants, hostlers, camp followers and
han~ers .on-their wives as cooks,
washerwomen, &c. Hunger, cold,
fever and smallpox were carrying off
tho children at fearful rate Of NOR
tally. The morals Of tho men were
being undermined by idleness and evil
example, and tho modesty of the
women debauched by contact with all
that is debasing in military life. From
month to month their numbers visibly
decreased and it really seemed as
though the Southern negro, like the
Indian. the Caffree, the Carib and the
Australian, would become extinct be-
fore the rude shock Of war, and the
corrosive venom OF our vices.

and he might also have seen two Of
