Our Subscription List.

We have taken the liberty of sending
this issue of the ADVOCATE to many
persons who have not actually subscribed
for it, and We very candidly say why
we have done so-it is with the view
and hope of being thereby enabled to
add many names to our subscription
list that are not now upon it. There
are many Democrats who were subscri-
bers to the paper that formerly repre-
sented their views in this county who
have not sent us their names, but we
feel that this does not signify their in
disposition to subscribe to our paper or
to give us the encouragement We seek
to obtain. We therefore have sent the
ADVOCATE to them, hoping that it may
prove acceptable, and that they will re-
tain it and send us their names as soon
as they conveniently can. 1t shall be
our constant endeavor to present to our
readers the current news of the county.
as well as the general news of the day.
and.we hope our paper may ever prove
itself worthy of the title it to-day as
sumes, and go forth successfully upon
its mission.

B9 A reliable Washington CORE
spondent writes that General Benjamin
f. Butler is now in Washington making
arrangements to remove to Florida, in
which State he has large business in
terests, and that he expects to be re-
turned as a Senator from that State.
Butler has been noted for having Eek
tensive business interests" in the prop
erty of others in the States of the South
unlucky enough to be under his au-
thority during the war, and although
not informed of the character of his re-
lations with the people of Florida, they
deserve our sympathy in advance. Little
Florida has been even more ready than
any of her sister States to make all
concessions required other at Washing
ton, and, indeed, seems willing to make
the halfa-hundred others it is likely
Will be demanded by the Radicals be-
fore she can regain her old status in
the Union, but she should be spared the
degradation of being forced to acknowl-
edge Butler as representative to fill
one of her vacant desks in the Senate
OF the country. 1t is asking a little
too much.
A later despatch asserts positively
that Butler is to be returned to the
scene of his former operations, the De-
partment of Virginia, ahd we may ex
pect soon to have one of those ad cap
ta'adans pronunciamentoes peculiar to
himself, prescribing rules for the guild
ance of ministers of the Gospel, and
instructing the women in the proper
performance of the duties of their
sphere.

Our Terms.

We undertake to publish the ADvo-
CATE at S1.50 in advance or So if not
paid in advance, price SO moderate
that it is scarcely commensurate with
the labor and expense requisite for the
publication of paper. Yet in doing
SO we hope to have placed it within the
power of every Democrat in the county
to subscribe for our paper and promptly
pay his subscription. For we trust that
our subscribers viii understand that
though the subscription be small IN
amount, it is absolutely necessary that
we should have that amount regularly
paid us in order that We may thereby
be enabled to properly conduct the
paper.
We ask encouragement-but feel real
substantial encouragement to consist in
a large subscription list, with prompt
payers for subscribers.

Whereas: by the proclamation of the Pres.
ident of the United States, of the 18th day
of September, 1868, the privilege of the
writ of habeds copus was, in certain cases
therein set forth, suspended throughout the
United States: and
Whereas, the reasons for that suspension
may be regarded as having ceased in some
of the States and Territories,
Now, therefore, be it known that /, An
drew johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby proclaim and declare that
the suspension aforesaid, and all other proc.
lamations and orders suspending the priv.
lege of the writ of Aadedsc oyp,ts in the States
and Territories of the United States, are re.
voked and annuiled, excepting rs to the
States Of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,

THE HABEAs CORPUS.

In another column will be found the
Proclamation of President johnson
restoring the privileges of the writ of
ha5eus corpus to all States north of the
Potomac. This is gratifying an
nouncement, and will be appreciated by
all good men. But We cannot, in our
joy at this event, erase from our re-
membrance the many wrongs inflicted
upon the people of our State whilst
tossed upon the merci1ess wave of
political passion, without this safeguard
of constitutional liberty as refuge from
the fury of the storm. Yet all this has
passed, and though it may have left
deep scars upon many true heart, still
the restoration to us of this priceless
blessing is like the lifting from our
shoulders the incubus of horrid dream,
and we leave the perpetrators of those
base actions to the tribunal of public
opinion for judgment. The restoration
of this right puts an end to the mis-
cradle system Of secret espionage which
has existed, and the whole herd of spies
and informers who have so long infested
our borders, invading the sanctityoof
households, .tampering with servants,
distorting themost harmless expressions
into ayowed "treason against the Gov
ernment," and themselves the authors
of the crimes for which they endeavored
to hold honest men accountable, will
have DOW to seek other employment.
The District of Columbia is not in
cluded in the Proclamation, we suppose
| for the reason of the intention of the
Government to have a number more
Southerners arraigned before military
commissions in the capital of the
country, the President evidently sue
cumbing to the pressure of those
Northern fanatics whose thirst for blood
has not yet been satiated. The
Southern States are all excluded, but
We trust the day is not far distant
when they too will have the privilege
extended them, and with all odious State
usurpations annulled, OUT country will
enter anew upon her career of great
ness.

A Radical Opinion of MI
Johnson.

Col. A. K. Mcclure, editor of the
Franklin Repository, and one of the
Radical Confscation, Negro Suffrage,
anti-Southern Rights men, gives his
opinion ofthe President in this wise:
1t would be foolish to disguise the
fact that the President, both by word
and deed, disclaims the position of
partizan executive, and that he is not
insensible to the fattering approval of
his administration by the Democratic
party. [ do not mean by this that he
is in sympathy and fellowship with
them but / do mean that he is not
wholly in sympathy against them and
he will, | feel warranted in saving. adj
here to the political fortunes Of the
Southern States without regard to polit-
ical consequences. This may or may
not sever him from the party that sus-
tanned and cherished him in the darkest
days through which he passed, and that
Won himthe highest honors ofthe nation
through food of obloquy; buff it does,
Il infer that he will accept the situation.
He evidently means, above all other
things, to compass the admission of the
Southern members and the complete
restoration to power of those States
and it Massachusetts and South Caro-
lima can strike hands over the same
administration, then will we have a
faithful President and harmonious
country. 1t not, | leave the future to
tell the story Where, in all this record
soon ss to be made up, the nation shall see
that treason is the greatest of crimes
and must be punished" is not to my
mind apparent.

CONGREss.

Never in the history of any country
do we find political body coming to-
gether with more important duties to
meet and labors to perform than those
that crowd upon the present Congress.
The whole American people--the still
clamerous Radicals of New England,
the Southerner who has succumbed to
overwhelming power, and even the poor
negro, whose status In the future is so
uncertain and unsettled, look forward
with no small degree of anxiety to the
action Of Congress. There are difficult
ties growing out of the recent war that
demand solution, and it is now for the
party dominant to determine whether
moderation and nagnanimity shall char
acterize their action and thereby render
distracted country peaceablc and
happy, or that the same fanaticism that
has ruled to the very verge of political
and financial ruin, shall continue, for
malicious purposes, to WELD the fatal
power with which four years of civil
| commotion have clothed it. If the
members of Congress desire lesson
of moderation, let them visit the battle
fields of the South, let them follow in the
/ track of Sherman's march and learn
what desolation, poverty and defeat
signify. If the lesson be not asalutary
one, if the orphan and widowed faces
that would greet them everywhere, if
the submission stamped upon every
brow, if the once rich and fertile lands
over which the blackened track of war
has marked its way, and which time
and labor alone can resuscitate, be not
sufficient to moderate their actions and
cause them to hesitate ere they impose
more heavy burdens upon the South
then all hope for joyous peace and
permanent happiness is vain.
