The PardOning System.

Iui- zysJem Of psrd0Ds works badly, and Is all
wrong a. every days occurrence 90 10 show. More
than twenty-five thousand applications have been
received 81 the office Of the Attorney General and
about oDe thousand have been signed by the Prezi-

have been psrdoned who we're not entitled 10 such
s%mency Out Of 50 many, il i impossible but that
the discretion Of the most vigilant man must be
ovcr-roa,hcd in some cases No rebel can apply for
pardon, whose goodness of heart and uprghtness of
character viii not be endorsed BY men calling them
=elyos loyal men- We have seen much Of this, and
hsye been astonished at the endorsement Of these
leading rebels by men who ought to know better
than to lend themselves for such purposes.
Another objection to this system of pardons-and
d, Is serious ones that certain parties are accept
Ne money for their influence in procuring pardons.
The President Is annoyed by this corruption. and
has openly denounced II. We hope he will break

The Rebel Spirit still Lives.

That there is now no rebel army in the South, is
not because Of any change in the Southern mind to
any return of the Southern heart to the old memo
res ofthe old fag but simply to the superior power
and resources of the Federal government brought
into successful play. The Federal government literal
ly conquered peace Our soldiers brought them TO
terms; we captured their arms, and means, and
their flesh and blood-not their affections. They
cannot resist us as they did, but they can and do
hate US with vengeance They will not take up
arms again, but will so TO work IN the Union, to
separate from the Union. They will now aim at
peaceable separation by legislation, and in order to
make the North willing to separate, they will be-
come as offensive as their cultivated meanness will
enable them to be! They will give the North oaths
from their hearts, and the surface submission and
obedience. In word, the peace between the North
andSOuth is hollow and deceitful-it is simply a
conquered peace wrested from the hands Of traitors
who hate Us TO the death. Whether or not the peo-
pie and politicians of the country believe this is
not the question; the fact is not indiSputable and
the good men Of both sections would do we'll to wake
up to this state Of things. No pretensions Of pro-
visional Governors or cOpperhead editors can make
the facts otherwise. Look, therefore, where will,
within OF without the inclosure of the Church. this
same spirit Of rebellion greets US and threatens us
with disturbance Disloyalty reigns all over the
South, and patriotism is at a. discount

Our Railroads,

John H. Branner, President of the Railroad from
here to Bristol and Thomas II. Galloway President
OF the Railroad from here to Chattanooga have both
had their respective roads turned over to them and
took possession on yesterday. The Government has
generously ordered that locomotives cars and other
fixtures necessary, BE- furnished to the Companies on
terms at once liberal 10 the Companies and Just to
tsclt-charging up such rolling stock as may be Sc
ectedr and crediting each road with the use of the
road
The companies have put the fare down TO ire
Carts and as matter of course all free Transports
ton will cease. On the upper road the contracts
have been made for rebuilding the two bridges over
Watauga and Holston Rivers, and they will be con-
structed at once at the expense of the Government
Railroad communications through the different Sec
tons, connecting different States in the regular old
style, will at once give new life to the country, and
TO every branch Of business This news will be re-
ceived with satisfaction by the business men of our
country and by the citizens of the States generally
The travel upon these roads is destined to be very
heavy and is now 'rapi dly increasing

western CaraIIna MethodIsls. .

We have been shown letter from Methodist
preacher at Waynesville, In Western North Caro-
Ina in which it Is stated that sr travelling preach
ere, of the Holston Conference, and eight local
preachers, had determined to change their Church
relations and to fall in with the new Conference
ganized by Bishop Clarke, of the old Methodist
| Episcopal Church Que of their number, Rev. Mr..
flaming, had accepted the position Of Presiding
Elder, under Bishop Clarke, and goneto work. The
same letter states that many Of the membership are
falling in with the old Church. and that they viii
continue to do so. It further sets forth that Rev.
". Hicks and DR.. Charles F. Deems, are giving the
loyal Church all the opposition they can. This man
Deems is a Yankee by birth and raising, and that
class Of men, when they do become Southern, are
more intensely Southern than all other men. Hehas
put out sort of circular letter, In which he sets
forth that they are whipped but not coviseed and
calls upon his dsloyal brethren to go to work with
/ them and aid in building up their old disloyal
Church organization. The spirit of rebellion is still
in them, and It sticks out in all they say and do
The whole South is still rebellious and they aim
now to divide the Union and set up Confederacy
BY common consent They aim to do their dirty and
wicked work IN the Union and under the old Con-
stitution The Southern Churches are all in the Sc
cret, and what is more infamous, they are in the
cork Let them be watched by the people; and let
them everywhere be branded as traitors, enemies
alike to God and man.
So far as the Methodist Church is concerned, the
old Church will go ahead and organize Conferences
in all the States, and provide loyal Methodists with
loyal preachers and publications. Those who are
for the Government for peace and order, will fall
in and those who are for another rebellion will give
| them opposition As loyal man, knowing these
elements, we warn the people against them. Rebel
| preachers will be slow to favor loyal Church
movement. They are now what they were in for
mer days. Speaking Of them in those days, one of
the EVanSelists says, 1t was not until multitude
of the common people believed that the Priests be-
| came obedient to the faithW
