The Springfield Massachusetts) Repu6ti:
can, an able Republican paper, on,this. sub
Iject, says: ,..,,.,.i -.
y. If one of this class is appointed to any Of.
fce CT allowed to be candidate for any local
position in the South, there is hue ard cry
raised about putting rebels. in power. The
dissatisfied do not seem TO recognize any va,
lidity in the Executive amnesty and pardon.
or ut least fail to comprehend that they involve
full absolution. So if a man, formerly prom
inent as rebel, is placed in any position By
tho Southern people, it is quoted against Them
as evidence of their persistence in.rebelliep.
General Joe Johnston was recently a canili-
date for the presidency of the Danyillc Rail
road in Virginia, and a majority of stock
holders voted for him, but Governor, Pierpon,
got theimpression in some way that his.elec
ton. would give offence at Washington, and
so intimated to the stockholders, and the ;yote
of the State for its stock was: then. given 10
Buford, the other candidate, thus clecting
him. Perhaps Buford is the best, man for
the, position, but. General Johnston is one OF
the most civil and eminent civil engineers in
the country, and the stockholders voted for
him because they thought be would promote
the interests of the company. Now, if Gen.
Iehnstof is allowed to live, and TO support
bimself it is impossible to give any good
reasons for excluding him from The profession
for which hc.is best fitted. We neither gel.
indemnity for the past, nor security for the
future, by excluding such men from the bu.
siness pursuits for which they are qualified.
Indeed, the employment Of those who were
lately rebel commanders, in peaceful pursuits,
thus, giving them personal interest in the
tranquility OF, tho, country, will nanifestlS
prove an element in our future asecurity.
General Johnson has since been elected
President of one Of the railroads In Alabama,
and it is not reasonable to hope that he will
manage it we'll, and make money for himself
aud the company. There has been a great
deal:of stupid rhetoric expended on the fact
that General Lee hos been made President
of Washington College in Virginia, and the
trustees have been denounced.

may not be removed.
Among these obstacles, perhaps none y
greater than the idea which has been scdn.
lonsly inculeatcd by the designing advocates
Of discord for many years, that the people OF
the Northern and Southern sections hate
each other with ineKtinguishable enmity,
and that this hatred Il 80 deeply founded In
the habits, tastes and opinions OF the people
that Il cannot be eradicatcd. Nothing has
contributed more 20 keep up the resistance Of
the southern people than the teachings Of
those who declared that the North was In
splred with feeling Of enmity and revenge
so bitter that nothing would satisfy her
people except the utter ruin Of Southern
homes-tho desolation OF Southern families,
and the destruction Of all that made life
worth preserving.
The passions kindled BY the war, and the
deeds Of rapine and violence on both sides 10
which the war has given birth, have for
long time prevented us from developing the
real sentiments Of humanity and kindness TO
which thousands will happily return now
when the blood-red flames Of the conflict are
beginning 10 subside.
We feel sure that even the most embittered
secessionist will acknowledge that tho con.
duct Of the United States officers and soldiers
In Richmond has been not only eonsideratc
and humane, but adapted TO inspire conf
denee and kindness in return. And with the
prospect Of returning peace, the sentiments
Of the people Of the North are beginning TO
appear in forms which ought to elicit cores
ponding feelings.
Tho prompt action Of the Christian Com
mission in supplying all the destitute among
us with food, certainly does not SAVIOR Of a
spirit Of hatred and revenge. We have heard
Of various expressions Of good feeling from
many Northern communities, which will
speedily he manifested, We are sure, In more
substantial forms than mere words.
When contrastod with the reckless spirit Of
destruction and disregard Of private rights
and property exhibited by the leaders Of dis
union even to the very hour Of .thoir final
flight from Virginia, these developments Of
kindness and sympathy from those who were
lately reckoned as enemies Of the South, will
not fail 10 work q change In many minds.
We earnestly exhort the people Of the
South to dismiss rancor from their hearts; TO
believe what Is undoubtedly true, that their
brethren Of the North desire to live with
them In bonds Of peace, and TO cultivate u
spirit Of cOnciliation and forbearance which
will soon bear the richest fruits.

THE n.LuMINArIoN.

The demonstration made last evening hy
the citizens Of Washington, under ne
auspices 81 he City aoyerument, in honor q
the slotious plccetses a the Union arms and
the triumph Of the Union cause, was worthy
Ofths sspllal % The uaiiOp. The various
departments Of the general Government
joined in the jubilee andthe lighting Of the
public buildings gave the ooNP dc 6eaNoOpp
to the grand affair Details Of the iilumina.
tion are given In our local column.
The spectacle as viewed from Arlington
Heights was gorgeous and beautiful, beyond
adequate description. The whole city seemed
In constant blaze Of glory, while tho rockets
continually ascending, and from their culmi-
nation pouring down showers Of flaming ems-
raids, rubies and snpphires, seemed like foun.
tains Of many -colored flames. Away TO the
right, across the Eastern Branch, the Asylum
for the Insane looked like a palace Of en-.
ehantment, or great castle, with It's battle.
ments and towers glorihed by innumcrable
Hamboaus as IL in honor Of the nuptials Of a
princess.
The Capitol stood forth In the fiery land.
scape grand and luminous object although
in the glare that filled the canopy over the
city its ere was soft and subdued. The firm
ament around was in a beauteous glow for
miles, and the flashes Of the fireworks inten.
styling the radiance Of the whole scene at
rapidly succeeding intervals, together with
tha stro;ng oT mn al ,,,,s,o that aau,a Nnat
ing across the Potomac, produced an indie:
scribRble effect upon the senses Of those who
enjoyed the illumination at Arlington.
The Arlington House, in It's turn, pre-.
scntod beautiful spectacle from the Wash
ington side Of the Potomac. The building
wns Illuminated throughout, and at the top
Of the tall Gag staff upon the roof wns sus-
pended n lamp that shone like q star around
has set, but the star Of freedom has arisen
over his house, never again to be obscurod by
the treason for which he has fought 80 blood
lily and vSinly In all the fiery show last
evening there was nothing brighter than that
star above Arlington House. The souls Of
the heroes who sleep by thousands around
that flag staff looked down from other stars
last night, blessing God that they had not
died in vain.
The bird's-cyo view from the dome Of the
Capitol revealed q novel md enchanting
spectacle. From this elevation the impress
sion given was that Of IN immense map Of
Washington traced out in phosphorescent
fires. Every street and avenue was revealed
by the lines of living light, and the public
buildings shonc out conSpieuously among the
lesser lights. Pennsylvania avenue was cspe-
cially rcsplendent from this point of view,
and the entire panorama presented was one
that will not soon be oquallcd in this or any
other city.
