policy that lid has determined to
pursue towards all Of the Southern
States. The vagaries and the fine
spun theories Of the Charles Sumner
school Of politicians are blown awav
with breath; the Fundamental doctrine
that the States have never been out of
the Union, and that there is no power
that can take them out, is plainly
euunciated; and those persons are
regarded as citizens and voters, and
only those, who were citizens and
voters before the war. The procla-
nation, while it excludes from the
polls all traitors and disloyal per-
sons, in accordance with the terms Of
the amnesty proclamation, excludes
also all negroes; and this course will
he followed in the case Of all the other
Southern States When the constitu-
tional convention assemblies in North
Carolina, they will, of course, prescribe
who shalt be voters in all subsequent
elections in that STATE.

pent can perceive that any harm has
been done by giving publicity to the
evidence. The people, who are the
final judges of all Government ques-
tons in this country, are, satisfied to
this extent, and are desirous to see
justice done. They believe that il,
would have been better accomplished
by civiletrial.
1t is difficult to realize how great a
change has occurred in the conduct of
affairs here at Washington. The
whole atmosphere OF Government
circles is entirely changed. The de-
termination of the head of the Co.
vernment to obey the Constitution and
the Laws, and to enforce respect Of the
charter Of our liberties by all who are
responsible TO him, has totally altered
the relations Of people with each other,
and will bring about complete return
to the good times when arbitrary
arrests and illegal imprisonment were
unknown. The advent Of President
Johnson to power is a real and preg
nant revolution which will be realized
in other matters besides this vital one,

Of the personal liberty Of the c;tize rs.
| Correspondence Neao York Herald.
BALTIMORE, June An regard to
slavery at the South and shareholders,
the President holds that whatever guilt
or sin there was in the matter was
equally shared by the North; and that
it would be unjust in the highest de
gree to disfranchise any person at
the South merely because he has been
an owner Of slaves. That degree Of
prosperity at the South which was
the result Of slaveiabor, was equally
shared by the North. The North
was benefited by the wealth and pros
perity Of the South. The abolition Of
slavery is one Of the results of the
war. If the Southern people accept
that result cheerfuIIy, and adap. them
selves to the changed relations which
it will involve, the interests of the
whole country require that they be
encouraged IN every possible way.
The amnesty proclamation OF May
2sth, therefore, is only the first step
of the President in that direction. 1t
will soon be followed by another,
reducing the number of The excepted
Classes, and containing other liberal
provisions towards the citizens of the
Southern States.
The President realizes that the
object Of the war was to restore the
Union, and not to abolish slavery, or
to confer the rights Of citizenship upon
negroes. He intends that that object
shall be accomplished, and that the
Union shall be restored upon such
principles that it will be hereafter
indissoluble. But he cannot perceive
the necessity or the proppriety Of
admitting to participation in the
work o: reconstruction race OF men
just delivered from bondage, ignorant,
debased, and degraded. and utterly
incapable Of understanding the sub
ject. So lar as his influence and
authority extends, justice will be done
to the liberated slaves; work and wages
will be provided for them, with
schools aud religious Instructions;
none will be allowed to cypress or
injure them in any way; but the
question of allowing them to vote will
be left to the decision Of the legal
voters Of the respective States. Presi-
dent johnson understands the negro
character, and particularly what kind
Of people the liberated slaves of the
South afe. BE will afford them
every facility for demonstrating to the
world whether or not they are worthy
Of becoming citizens, but that will be
the limit of his official action in that
direction.
THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE TO DE REsroR.
ED TO THEIR POLITICAL RIGHTS.
On this point the Presidents pro-
clamatiou of May 20, providing for
the restoration Of civil government in
the State of North Carolina, and for
calling a convention to alter or amend
the Constitution OF that State, is
highly significant, because it is the
result Of the Presidents deIiberation
on the subject, aud it indicates the

State rights, State sovereignty, and

vernment are now exploded. The
question of the reserved rights Of
States has been settled by the stern
arbitrament Of artns. The arbitra>
ment is, whether right or wrong, deci~
sive. It ends the controversy. We,
who are defeated, must yield to the
decision. because we can do nothing
else. We must entertain no private
enmitles against the Federal Govern
ment, because they will lead US into
treason. We believe it the part of
true manliness to yield when hope is
gone, as much as to struggle on while
there is chance Of success.

LIBERTY oFsTHE PRESS IN FRANCE.-A
case with regard to the liberty OF the press
which has for some time caused some inter
est in France, has just been decided, In the
court of the last resort, in favor of that liberty
1t has been called the affair of the correspon-
dents, Two gentlemen, M. M. de st Cheron
and Clairbois, made a business of furnishing
letters from Paris to the provincial newspa-
pers of France, and to those of some other cit
les on the continent. 1t was their habit to
make up parts of their letters by the use of
manifold letter writer by which several cop
les ofthe same paragraphs could be written at
once in time to send by the mail. 1t seems
that the French government furnishes in the
same manner, officially 10 the provincial Jour
mails, such news as it is willing to have publish
ed, and twas considered desirable to suppress
the private enterprise, which furnished addi-
tlonal information. 1t does not appear very
obnoxious either in the class Of facts transmit
ted In this correspondence or in the opinions
expressed in it, for its authors were not pro-
ceeded against by the censorship. The law
offices of the government, however, decided
that this despatch of several copies of news
correspondence was in fact the publication of
newspaper, and the gentlemen we havenam-
ed were prosecuted for publishing newspa-
per without a license.
The Tribunal of the First Instance, conyic-
ted them, and sentenced them each to
months Imprisonment and fine of twenty
dollars. They appealed to the Imperial Court
Of Paris, which promptly confirmed the de-
cree Of the First Instance, and sent the case
to the Imperial Court at Rouen. That court
adopted the judgement of the original tribu-
nal, convicting the defendants. They did not
yet despair, but brought their case before the
three chambers of the Court of Cessation sit
ting as one body, which is the supreme tribu-
nal Of France. 1t was established in 1890, and
is charged with maintaining uniformity in ju-
risprudence, and may annul or affirm finally
the judicial decisions of other courts brought
before it on appeal. This court discharged
the defendants. They held that such cor
respondence as we have described can only be
considered as private correspondence, or as a
partnership in articles sent through the post
Office to journals which may print them or
not as they choose, and may alter them as they
please before publication. The newspapers
would be alone responsible for the publication
and if any complaints were to be made it
should be made against them.a The cores
pondents are therefore triumphant for the
present, and deserve much credit for SO stead
lastly resisting prosecution which originated
in the design to prevent newspapers from re-
ceiving news except from official sources.

AaRrcU1TURAL MACHINERY


The farmers of our Eastern States, compel
ed to till rocky and uneven lands, and used to
small holdings, do not know by experience, all
of the changes which improved machinery ha
wrought in agricultural operations on the great
western prairies. There machines do the labor
of men to such degree that the farmers
heaviest tolls are lightened, and one man is en-
abled to achieve, with ease, the work of half a
dozen.
We saw recently corn field of one hun
dred and sixty acres, on the Grand Prairie
in the plowing, planting and cultivation OF
which no man walked step. A rotary spa
der, drawn by four horses and driven by a
man upon the box, plowed the field to a uni
form depth of eight inches, and gave such
thorough tilth that it was not necessary to use
harrow at all. A corn-planter, drawn by two
horses, and driven by man upon the box
next planted the seed. A cultivator drawn by
two mules, one walking on each side of the
knee-high corn, and driven by a man upon the
box, completed the culture of a row at sin
gle operation; ard in the tool-house lay an
other machine, also to be drawn by horses,
which will cut down the corn when it is ripe
and lay it in regular rows, to be finally gather
ed by hand. But it is expected that by next
year this machine will be so improved as to
gather up the corn also.
When il is remembered that the farmer who
follows a common plOW or cultivator during
long summers day, performs march of from
ten to fourteen miles, it will be seen what
boon is the machinery which relieves him
from this toll. And when we remember how
scarce were men during the last four years in
the West, we shall see that but for such labor
saving implements our vast crops of cereal.
