: -
The rebels became very insolent, under
the Presidents conciliatory policy, and accep-
ted pardon of their crimes, and exemption
from the penalty of the halter which they had
incurred, with an insolent tout at the hand
which bestowed it.
The Mobile Times, whose editor has been
the recipient of one of the documents, thus
twits the President of his shortcomings and
Inconsistencies in the matter. So
We are sorry to have to End fault, for the
first time, with our President. ts
In his liberality to the South, he has shown
himself magnanimous, but rather inconsistent.
We will cite one new clause 1.-THE fourth one J
attached to his -pardons, and the reader viii
easily agree with as that il Is not in keeping
with his general policy.
That clause provides that the party par
doned, to whom the first clause has RENTED
all pains and penalties incurred by his pre-
wous acts, shall not, however prefer any
claim whatever to property or the proceeds
OF property, which may have been previously
sold under any judgement of a competent ,tri,-
hunal and in pursuance of the cCA6ecafion
laws of the United States.
After commenting onthis clause and asser-
ting that it destroysthe value Of the pardon
and renders it worthless, the editor closes
with the following paragraph: ~
We repeat it, not only because We happen
to have been the recipient of this empty ia
vor, bnt because it shows in the President .
life an Inconsistency, which We desire to blot
Out of his fair record Of fame. 'sea ~

The K.&P. Railroad Imbro9l;o.

paragraph has been going the rounds of
the press setting forth that suit had been
commenced By the Ken. & Por.. Railroad
Company against the present, or Port. & Ken.
Company, 10 dispossezs the latter of the road
and franchise, and To restore them to the
DTfgitai company. Thinking we understood
the 0nfaas Of tbs suit; that ii was instigated
sy an aIabito Us young lawyer rather TO Sc
cure fee, ~ 70 compel somebody 70 buy him
%, than from any expectation Of winning,
we have not fit called upon to aid the
piot ~ pubhsidnZ tie report. The following
from the AGscazta correspondent of the Bos-
ION Adee,, der, we think presents fair and
1ruLhio, view Of the whole case:
.4uch has been written and spoken con-
corning the suit recently brought by the Ken
nebee and Portland Railroad Company against
the Portland and KeDDebec Railroad Compa-
ny. 1t has been dignifed with an importance
which docs not belong W IL. The old compa-
ny, the Kennebec e. Portland. was bankrupt
almost. from the beginning. The stock was
yalueless for years before the present company
took possession. 1t never paid afarthing as a
dividend from the formation OF the company
to the present time. The road was regularly
mortgaged, and in due time the mortgage was
legally foreclosed.
The old company, which was unable TO full
fill its contracts, even to the payment Of inter-
est on its debts, in the natural order Of events,
died. Some of the old stockholders were
green enough TO suppose that they could re-
gain a mastery over the road. The shrewder
ones hope only to place themselves in posi-
ton to be bought Off The power of calling a
meeting of the old corporation rested in per-
sons having interest in the new company, and
they refused to call one The Legislature of
1904 mconsiderately gave to other persons this
right, and under this authority the old corpora
ion is resuscitated and comes into court with
THIS suit. The only ground of complaint, SO
lar as can learn, is that the stockholders of
the new company were able, through the ex-
Ip1emely poor credit of the Kennebec and
! orlland Company, to buy their bonds at a
,arge discount. l believe it is true that thew
s wsre SO bought. 1t is hard to see in what re-
tpecs .he Old stockholders are injured by This
onI ns,er OF then deprecated Obligations. The
suif & who OF law which can be settled by this
