We suppose Sour excellent marshal" intended
to have added to the notice, and we supply the
omission, that dogs are not to be allowed to bark
or howl at night, in a manner calculated TO dis
turb the peace and quietude of the neghborhood,
otherwise their owners are to be made to pay
"smart money! until they make their canine de-
pendants s'hush up.'' Go it marshal-go it dogs.
Union 18th.
The marshal thinks the very 'smart" author
of the above ought to call at the city scales
and take out his license and get his number
at once. And it is hist the marsbaPs )opinion
that if he the dog alluded to- makes many
more such insinuations, he the said dog)will
''smart" without any'money." go it mar
shal-go it dog"

THE Union commits another forgery of it's
democ ratio platform, by quoting it as read
ing-"d basis of the Federal States" The
platform reads that, ''peace may be restored
on the basis of the Federal Union of the
States, not ga basis of the Federal
States"

Two CENTS Now.-In accordance with the
instructions of the post master general, issued
in pursuance of the act of congress of March
3, 1865, tvo cents will now be charged ON
each letter advertised as not called for at any
post Office.

CUsTARp PIE AND SAws.-We stated, yes
that the reason Lena Schneider was not con.
victed was because the prosecuting attorney
drew up faulty Indictment. We now learn
that the weak point is thas the girls commit
ted no crime because they failed to get the
saws into the hands of the prisoners. Had
they done so, and by that means the prison
ers had escaped, then they would have been
punishable, and also the men who made the
saws and the pan.
One of the girls plead guilty, but the judge
discharged her, after pleading guilty, on the
ground that she had committed no crime.

CoNvIcrED.-George Brace was convicted
of stealing a watch from soldier, but the

THE AMNESTY EXCEPTIONS.

Those who are eXerting themselves to induce
President johnson to waive his exception of
persons worth over $4,000 from the benefit of
his offer of amnesty to the rebels, are simply
wasting their labors. The provision was evil
IDENTIFY determined on by the President only
after due reflection, and was meant to accom-
pllsh an important end, not otherwise attaina-
bic. We mean: to secure sufficient guarantees
that the class ut the South who made and con.
Quoted the rebellion Will be truly and reliably
loyal if permitted to take any part hereafter
in the conduct of Southern public affairs. We
doubt not, nearly every man at the South whose
antecedents do not render it probable that he
may not be relied on to become and continue
thoroughly loyal to the United States, will even
tually be amnestied But it is absolutely neces-
sary, it strikes us, that every individual case
should stand on its own merits; so that it may
be thoroughly investigated and properly dis
posed of. Otherwise, in a twelvemonth, we
will have the whole South again being peram-
bulated by stump ''whangers,'' after the order
of Extra Billy Smith, Isham G. Harris and
Roger A. Pryor, engaged in the work of per-
suading the Southern people to throw as many
obstacles as possible in the way of the Govern
ments efforts to reorganize affairs in that quar-
ter on truly loyal basis.

OF the mail coaches and murders of whites are
frequent. They had driven off the miners and
