Tho Prestdent's PrOcIe m q ti0ns-Tho Do
mestio Policy OF tho Administration.
In the two important proclamations from the
President which we publish this morning the
futare domestic policy of the administration Is
clearly defined, and the work of reconstruo-
ton begins in earnest The amnesty procla-
nation is very sweeping. The masses OF the
Southern people are pardoned; but while they
are relieved from all punishment for their COM
plicity in treason there is nothing in the docu-
ment which restores to them the right of suf-
frage, while in the second proclamation It is
apparent that they are to be excluded from
voting at present Only the leaders are ex-
cluded from the benefits Of the ipardor. All
civil officers Of the rebel government, foreign
and domestic, and all eK-United States Con.
gressmen and judges are held responsible for
their deeds. All graduates of West Point all
army officers above the rank of colonel, all
naval officers above the rank Of lieutenant, all
Canadian conspirators and raiders, as well as
all depredators on the high seas are excluded
from the benefits Of the amnesty. The strong
arm of the law is to deal only with
the leaders, not the dupes. All those
who have deliberately conspired against and
labored by their influence to destroy the
Union are to be held to an accountability.
But it will be seen that we are not told how
strict that accountability is to be. The punish
ment for the crime Of treason on conviction is
death; but the President does not threaten to
hang anybody. II is apparent that the terms
ranks in order to exclude from pardon many
notorious and evil men. Large numbers Of
those who are excluded will And little diff
Guilty in obtaining the Executive pardon, which
is to be had by proper application, and only
the more desperate characters will be made
examples Of The country will demand to be,
at least, rid of such desperadoes az Semmes,
Madit and other depredators on the high seas
and in Canada, and the proclamation Is 80
worded TO exclude such from its benefits.
The policy of reconstruction which the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet have decided upon will
commend itself to the approval of everybody.
Under its provisions loyal persons and none
others will be allowed to return to their States
without faint of treason to the Union. The
rebels wil have 40 voice in the work of resto-
ration.
The war is now entirely over, tho policy Of
the administration is clearly defined, the peo.
pie OF The Southern States are back again on
the broad road to Union and prosperity, we
know what to do and what to expect, and may
now go 10 work with will to work out the
great purpose of our national existence.
