RESTORATION

Tn e South is conquered slavery is abandoned the
great body the people OF the South are anxious to re-
turn to their allegiance; they are crushed Inundated
and despOndent they have seen he sin and folly the
suicide Of this rebellion they desire the old flag to
wave them and to project them; lt is perfectly
fair suppose that the fate OF the criminal leaders
whose ambition and treachery nave LED them INTO
and held them in revolt is matter of indifference
TO these outraged dupes o! secession. They wish
DOW to become Americans, heneelorth and forever
more. They behold the desoation amid which they
wander, and they would restore peace with all It's
fruits of order and prosperity They desire govern
ment founded the rock OF our old Constitution ana
this they want at once the form Of that authority
whence they have been seduced II is but reasonable to
suppose that the st terrible suspense tormens these
people IS TO the probable action OF the Government IN
regard 10 them. Ttey stand like men condemned ana
powerless Some plan of restoration them should be
land doubt will bel promptly furnished to these peo
pie that they may work mp to and accommodate tneu'

indefinite magnings which belong to the waking hours
of the misguided rebels who begin to see the dread

the Government which they have outraged
And time presses. Every hour is important TO clvll-

ANDREW JOHNSON AND JEFFERSON DAVIS.


The country will remember the courageous impromptu
speech in the United States Senate, which Senatof-now
Decentralization rose and delivered in immediate
reply Jefferson Davis when the bafed rebel chief
took his farewell and sought TO demonstrate the nabi
v of our Government to execute IFS properly constituted
will upon the people of all the States Senate Johnson
then stood alone The consprators had resoed to every
hod known 10 them for the purpose of bending the
nex bity of his resolution stand by his country but
when they found that they had only failed they visited
him with open derision and contempt lie charged
them with it. at the time and has left it upon recI I'd that
he felt its temporary effect although only 10 resist and
not 20 yield TO the sting.
Since that striking scene in the Senate chamber when
the predetermined chief of the rebellion was boldly con-
roned answered and denounced by the Tennessee Sen
ator great changes have taken place Well may we use
the language of the poet in referring especially TO the
changed relations OF the w actors in that scene and
speak Of the 'whirgigs Of time" Davis has been and
we uppose still continues to style himself the President
of Rebel Coniederacy which VIGOROUSLY has no exist
ence but its name Johnson is TO day the President OF
the United States whose sacred authority he stepped
forward 10 defend against Davis and against traitors
everywhere And IL may be that as Chlei Magistrate
of the nation he will vet be summoned 10 execute
punishment upon the leader in rebellion whom, but
four years ago he solemny and periodically warned Of
the consequences of his threatened treasonB The former
is fugitive, with his countrymen formed into body OF
voluntary police TO pursue aud capture him the latter IS
the Executive of the nation, upon whom would devove
the duty of visiting the last punishment denounced by
the laws upon sc great criminal
The contrast between the positions OF tese two men,
who separated with such pregnant words on the floor
Of the Svdae striking not to provoke more than
ps ing remark Ii is one Of those lessons in the history
of Justice which is impr sssve to be forgotten. The
man who was eered at by the knot Of recreants that
crowded around to intimidae the sturdiness of his
patriotism now has it in spower to speak their doom
unless kinder fortune shall pilot them into the dreary
paths OF an gRomnious exile. He who stood fast when
all around him wayered now beholds the braggart
calumniators ofShis cOuntr himself fleeing in every
direction for their lives, outcasts and ugitves aban-
doned by the people they have so fatally deuded hating
one another and above ALL dreading the swift
of tbet retbutiye Justice whose DEGREES set
of men can outrage with impunity There is certainly
contained in this history lesson in favor OF the truth
oud tbe rehabilitation Post.

LIABILITY OF RAILROADS FOR BAsGAGE.-The Supreme
Court in New York city has recently made decision
touching the liability Of railroads in the transportation
of baggage which will be of interest TO travellers and
70 those corporations nerall' 1t appears that Mrs.
Rawson, wife Of wealthy retired merchant in that city
was travelling from Pittsburg to Philadelphia in the
night express in September last when the train she was
on collided Thorn psontowr with coal traio, The
engine tender baggage and two three passenger
cars of the express train almost through the coal
train were broken to pieces and destroyed by fire
ed by the coll ison Many injured and several kill
ed Mrs. Rawson car and escaped uninjured,
but she had the inevitable big trunk and little trunk
though not the bandbox and bundle-and in them was
stored more than Miss Flora hcFlmseys wardrobe, be
cause she proved 10 even the satisfaction of the defend
aut the Pennsylvania railroad company that the cloth
ing and ewery in the trunk were worth $4,000 To
Ter this sum she brought suit The defence that
the company was not responsible as insurers for the safe
transportation of baggage to the amount claimed II
was an unusual and unreasonable amount as to valne,
and there printed notice on the ticket stating that
the company would not b. liable for the baggage Of
sengers exceeding in value one hundred dollars or in
weight eighty pounds The plaintiff claimed that the

She recovered the full amount having enumerated the

rT,HE order from MAJOR General Halleek' published

yIDHE order from MAJOR General Halleck, published
l YESTERDAY. relative TO the " amnesty oath,
sbould dispel the spprehsaSions OF those who an
ti,,nsted the adoption OF severe policy towards
nh psrs5nS who had taken an active part IN the
Rebellion. We have never believed for moment
tbst the Government would punish indiscriminately
every prominent participant in the war against the
National authority. II is we'll known that many
.ortbv men Who warred against the dogmas and doc
crimes of the DisunionistS, were eventually forced
,r ,bs pressure OF circumstances, over winch
,bsv co,fd nave no control, TO identity themselves
,,i,b the "Confsdsrscy, either in the military OF
civil service. They accepted positions OF distine
tion in self-defsuce, but easrisbed their attach
men, for the Union founded b. the illustriou'
.sthers Of the Nation.
To men Of this class the Government has 90"
.ven a. opportunity TO recover their civil rights
The official letter authorizing them TO make apPli-
cation for pardon shows that President Johnson has
adopted s leuient policy. The IRs,iRa'ors OF DIS
unioD. the authors Of the attempt 20 destroy the
American nationality, will not escape retributiye
,p,,,e but an Others who can produce satisfactory
evidence Of sincere purpose 70 resume and main-
tain the status OF loyal citizens, will be recipients
of Executive clemenoy.

Court OF CoECILIATION.-As we intimated
several days ago, an order from Maor-General Hall
leck has created Court of Cancellation, or Arbi-
ration to consist of three arbtrators, to arbtrate
in such cases as may be brought before it, affecting
the right or possession of property, both personal
and real, and the payment of rents and debts,
where con racts were made upon the basis of Con-
federate currency, which now has no legal exist
ence. The Court of Cancellation will exercise no
jurisdiction in questions of title to property, nor
will its decisions be any bar to civil remedies when
the civil law and civil courts re-established.-
The fees charged will be simply sufficient to pay
expenses. All parties to suits in this court, and
attorneys and agents appearing for them, will be
required to take the amnesty oath. No fees will be
demanded of the poor. All alike, white and COL
ored will be entitled to the benefit of the decisions
of this court, the proceedings of which will be sim
pie and brief, and directed solely to ascertaining
and securing exact justice. The Provost Marshals
are directed to refer to this court all coming
properly uIder its jurisdiction. When the civil
courts are re-estabished the Court of Cancellation
or Arbitration will cease its functions.

MORE ROOM WANTED.-One of the greatest wants
of Richmond always has been want of room and
expansion. Richmond to-day is in small. clothes,
not the capacous business suit of other Northern
cities. To-day, dwellings for families of moderate
means are so scarce that there cannot be found
to rent in the whole city. Capitalists would rem
der lasting benefit to the city if they could be
induced to break the bonds of this ''pent-up
Utica,' and build in Sidney, and other suburban
points, residences of moderate pretensions, but
commodious and respectable enough to invite to
their occupancy the middling class of the populs-
ton

WHAT THE REBEL PRISONERS THISE.-When the news
of the Presidents assassination reached Point Looko ut
Md the rebel prisoners confined there, numbering
several thousand men, passed series Of resolutions
pessve Of indignation at the crime sorrow at the nation
al calamity, and coincidence with the late Presidents
family There is no doubt that the sentiments thus
pressed were genuine and heartfelt No true soldier no
matter in what he has fought justify or vim
dictate an act of assassination but there was doubtless
another cause that induced this act on the part of the
rebel prisoners Since they have been removed from
the influence of an untruthful press and designing po
litical leaders they have imbhed more correct views
regarding the position which Mr.. Lincoln held in
reference to the South. They have learned that
instead of entertaining feelings of vindictveness
toward the South, as they were led 10 believe by
The misrepresentation of the rebel leaders, the late
President was really the SOuth's &. best friend
and that in his death they have lost whose only al
legged fault at the North his leniency and magma
nimy toward rebels While these soldiers were under
the influence of inAammatory and lying statements
corning Mr. Lincoln and while the political leaders filled
their minds with reports designed TO subserve reasona
Bile ends the rank and file of the rebel army were de-
luded but since the veil has been lifted from their eyes
and they have been enabled to the truth il is not
strange that they deprecate the murder of Abraham
Lincoln The same reyusion of feeling must sooner or
later show itself throughout the South and when the
time comes when the rebel sod find that they have
been basey deuded and deceived by their political lead
erthe question of what shall be done with these lead
ers will be decided by their own victims, and in
ner that will deter from again showing its
head in this country.-N. 7. Sun.

Secession, and warned the people against the dls-
.strous conseq uences Of the projected attempt 10
breakup the Union by force, bat passion and pre-
