Our MISTAKES ABOUT EACH OTHER
Not one man in ten thousand sees those
with whom he associates rs they really are.
IF the prayer of Burns were granted, and
we could all see ourselves as others see US,
our self.estimates would in all probability
be much more erroneous than they are now.
The truth is that We regard each other
through variety Of lenses, no one Of which
is correct. Passion and prejudice, love
and hate, benevolence and envy, spectacle
our eyes and utterly prevent us from OBJ
serving accurately. Many whom We deem
the porcelain of human clay are mere dirt,
and still greater number of those we put
down on black books are no further off
from Heaven, perhaps little nearer,
than the censors who condemn them. We
habitually undervalue or overValue each
other, and in estimating character the
shrewdest of US only now and then make
true appraisal of the virtues and defects of
even our closest intimates. -..-- .
1t is not just or fair to look at character
from stand point of ones own selection.
A mans profile may be unprepossessiDg,
and yet his full face agreeable. We once
saw young man, whose timidity was
standing joke with his companions, leap
into a river and save a boy from drowning,
while his tormentors stood panic struck Oh
the bank. The merchant who gives curt
answers in his counting, house may be a
tender husband aud father, and kind
helper of the desolate and oppressed. On
the other hand, your good humored person,
who is all smiles and sunshine in public,
may carry something as hard as the neither
milestone, in the place where his heart ought
to be.
Such anamolies are common. There is
this comfort, however, for those whose mis-
judgments of their feilow.mortals lean to
the kindly side-such mistakes go to their
credit in the great account. He who
thinks better of his neighbors than they de-
serve, cannot be a bad man, for the standard
by which his judgment is guided is the
goodness of his own heart 1t is only the
base who believe all men base-of, in other
words, like themselves. Few, however, are
all evil. Even Nero did good turn to
somebody, for when Rome was rejoicing
over his death some loving hand covered
his grave with flowers.
Public men are seldom or never fairly
judged-at least, while living. However
pure, they cannot escape calumny. How
ever corrupt, they are sure to find eulogists.
History may do them justice; but they
rarely get it while living, either from friend
or foe.

NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS.

NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The question of the admission Of mem,
bers to the next Congress from the South
ern States is now agitating the public mind.
With law of Congress prohibiting any
one from holding seat in that body who
had been engaged in the rebellion, it is
difficult to solve the question who the South
can send; for there is no prominent man
alive in the Southern States who has not,
directly or indirectly been concerned in the
war. The FIRST matter to be considered,
then, is nmnifestly, the repeal of the law, so
as to relieve the South of the disability of
being represented in the National Congress.
Will the Radicals consent to this? That
is the question. We have no doubt there
will be an intense struggle to keep the
South out, but the people of the North are
more anxious for the South to come back
than the South herself is to return. Hence
if the majority insist upon carrying out
their plans, and closing the doors Of Con:
gress upon the South, the Northern people
will arouse themselves to the necessity of
putting down the Radicals and opening the
portals of the Union to every wayward sis
ter who comes back, casting over her the
cloak of charity and forgiveness, with the
complete obiviation of the past. The South
has been restored to her political rights by
the amnesty proclamation and by the oaths
of allegiance taken by her citizens. No
further tests can be required, unless it be
the test of probation, and that is, of course,
out of the question. The men Of the South
who have conformed to the requirements of
the Government are entitled to vote, and it
is absurd to argue that they have not the
power to select their own representatives
and it is sti1l a greater absurdity to saythat
these representatives shall not be received
when elected. .--.-"
No such doctrine can stand before the
American, people. When a Southerner
takes the oath of allegiance he must be re-
garded as being restored tohis former politi-
cal rights. He is as good as any other citi-
zen in the eye Of the law: The Government
must recongize this fact, else why admins
ter the oath at all? No doubt President
johnson understands this matter, and if the
Radicals do not wish to 60 before the peo.
pie in the pending State electionain posi~
tion inimical to the administration, they
will handle this subject with fairness and
moderation. The President regards it to
be as much an act of disloyalty to prevent
recuscant State from coming into the U.
nion as it is for one to go out; and if the
Northern States oppose the restoration Of
the seeded States they are as criminal as
the original secessionists.-N Y Herald.

BISHOP LAY.-We mentioned last week,
that this gentleman had been arrested at
Lincolnton, North Carolina. He was taken
to Washington for examination in regard
to package of papers, which it was known
he had at one time in his possession-the
property of the Hon. G. G. Clay. Satisfied
with the examination, the authorities
promptly released him. While in Wash
ington the Bishop was treated with great
clvilty and consideration.

GENERALS LEE AND GRANT AS HIS.
ToRIANs.-The following we clip from an
exchange:
The Two leading generals of the late war,
Lee and Grant, are now engaged in writing
up the history Of their respective campaigns.
In both cases we suppose that the histories
will be almost purely military in their char
acter. Lee, however, will have some ad-
vantage over Grant, in that his history will
not be made in the form of an official re.
port, and hence he can indulge in greater
discursiveness of statement and greater
freedom of style than is customary in off,
cial documents.
Grant is very close and acurate writer,
and we may say that Lee in general has the
same characteristics. The last of Grants
campaign, of which thus far be has given
US full report, was that which was crown
ed with the splendid victory at Chattanooga
in the latter part of 1868 /; and we have al
ways considered that report as the master
piece of military writing and military philos
opby that the war has produced. The last
full military report of General Lee that We
remember to have seen, is that of the bat
tie of Gettysburg, fought two years ago.
Lees report of his campaign will be con-
fined entirely to operations in Virginia,
while Grants report will be of battles
fought and won over half Continent
From Belmont to Vicksburg, from Donel
son to Chattanooga, lie campaigued in the
Southwest; from the Wilderness to Peters
burg, and thence around to Louisa Court
House, was his battle march in Virginia; ;
while during the last year of the war be d.
rected, combined and co. ordinated the
movements of all the forces oyer all the
States of the South. It will be interesting
to read the reports of Grant and Lee of the
great operations during the last year of the
war, when the two great masters of the art
struggled with each other in Virginia.

FROM EAST TENNESsEE-DEpLoRABLE
STATE OF AFFAIRs.-A correspondent in
Bristol, Tennessee, furnishes US with let
ter, in which it is urged upon US to notice
editorially the great danger to which per.
sons are liable in passing westward through
East-Tennessee. The letter states that from
Carter's Station, twenty miles west of this
place (Bristol,) to Chattanooga, no one pro-
Tossing Southern sentiments can pass with
out guard of bayonets. Should they at
tempt such thing, they are brutauy, beat
en, and in many instances murdered. All
who see them passing through this little
town, shudder for the poor fellows, for they
well know what is in store for them.
All the prominent citizens are leaving
the country from Knoxville to the Watauga
River. Even those who were known only
as Southern men, but who never'took any
part in the war in any manner, have been
forced to leave their homes. Hundreds of
the best citizens of East Tennessee are com.
ing to Virginia. The lawless conduct is
encouraged and urged by public speeches.
Those Confederates, who are from West
Tennessee, Georgia, etc., should go some
other route than this. Should they attempt
to 90 this route for the next few weeks they
will never get home-at least, nine out Of
ten will not. I beg you to call the atten.
ton of such characters to the dangers of
this route, and in the SAME connection the
attention of the United States authorities.
1t is but murder to send them this route.
Even Union men who profess to be conser-
vatives, and not abolitionists, can't remain
in East Tennessee.

we'll as their Leaders, was to join, not Max

men from seeded States, will not exceed a
few hundred in number, all told. Like the
former, they designed to cast their swords
into the scales against Maximilian, and the
French and ,Austrians contingents by
whom he is supported. This, he says, is
the purpose of all confederates who have
sought or may seek hand in the military
affairs of Mexico Their motive in siding
with the liberal party is ope of resentment
towards Louis Napoleon, who so grievously
disappointed their hopes of Intervention
against the United States in the contest
from which they have just, emerged. A
partial revenge, they now think, is attaina-
BILE by expelling his protege from Mexican
soil, and they will do their best to bring
about such result. Others upon whom
this motive did not operate, expressed a
willingness to go out of pure regard for the
principle of the Monroe doctrine, and
thought that all interlopers upon American
soil ought to be driven off.

ABOUT PARDoNs.

A very strange doubt or misconception
exists in regard to the effect of the Presi-
dents pardon upon the property rights Of
the party pardoned. -. ssS ~.
Pardons, special and generab are granted
in conformity with clause of the confs.
cation act itself, approved July II, 1862,
and entitled "an act to suppress insured.
ton: to seize and confscate the property
of rebels, and for other purposes The
clause is as follows
"SEo. Is. And be It further enacted,
That the President is hereby authorized, at
any time. hereafter, by proclamation, to ex-
tend to persons who may have participated
in the existing rebellion in any State or
part thereof pardon and amnesty, with
such exceptions and at such times and on
such conditions as he may deem expedient
for the public wslfare.p'.s sgA.e5seai ssf5s@ :
It thus appears that the President has
the authority Of Congress for granting ann
nesty and pardon for all offences against the
United States committed during the .late
rebellion, aud that he has exercised the
power thus conferred by restoring all prop.
erty rights to the parties, even where legal
proceeding has been instituted, but not
consummated. If the proceedings are be:
gun under this act Of confscation, in any
court of the United States, the pardon has
the effect Of quashing them on payment
Of costs by the party pardoned.
We have been induced to make this
statement in consequence of doubts and
misapprehensions in regard to the effect of
a pardon, which tend to throw suspicion
upon the solaency Of Southern men, and to
prevent the revival Of business and indus
try. The whole country is interested in
the speedy restoration Of peace, order and
confidence in the South, without which
there can be. no healthy trade and inter-
