The Amnesty Proclamation of President !, Johnson, printed in last weeks Enquirer, con tains some features that are gratifying to loyal people. a
 A broad and wise discrimination is made in favor of comparatively irresponsible and inno- cent rebels. The great mass of the Southern people are offered free pardon. For these Mir Johnson has fellow-feeling. He has been one of them. He understands their sentiments and instincts. They can be trusted.
 But all rebels owning more than twenty thousand dollars worth of property, he consid CTS open to suspicion as heinz projectors and active supporters of the cause Many of thi. class, who have never served in the rebel ar mics but have co-operated with them as citi- zens are anxious now to take the oath of ale glance, and resume the reins of State Govern
 ment under the Federal Authority. They ar dangerous. Full of treachery and hatred fo
 the General Government, their elevation t
 places of power will be sure precursor of ne,
 tumults and perils. With these. and with al
 those who have held important positions Q power and trust either civil or military, an
 with some other classes whose treason is equa ly fragrant and unmistakable, he wisely retain a discretionary power of pardon.
 Il All persons who desire the clemency of tn administration must take Q strong oath of fea ! ty, binding themselves to support and defen the Constitution and all the laws of the Unite
 States, especially the one granting freedom
 the slaves. sf .s.s.,.ts x.s.,e, ..sa aaa :.
 Many applications will doubtless ties be- be mad as'
 by leading rebels, to the President, for pardlo' and the restoration of political rights, In tn
 exercise of this prerogative, MT. Johnson ma make some probable, or even palpable, error ! It will be strange ifevery one of the vast crow of conspirators in this rebellion are brought } justice. But, with his knowledge of Soushel
 character and history, the pardoning power ], as safe in his hands as in any, and hut very fe of the most active and dangerous of our cou '- Itry's enemies can ever again have voice { Ian influence in our national councils. a ''sF f

16r A magnificent scheme for paying the
 national debt by voluntary subscription. hal
 been projected by the New York Herald. NJ subscriptions are received for . less amour, shan ten thousand dollars. Probably three quarters of the property of the United States is held by persons who cannot or will not take single share.
 It would take about one eight of all the property of the country to pay this debt. So those who may subscribe. must give at. least one half of their estates, to accomplish the ob. ject. As no one of these benefactors. excent perhaps MT. Bishop of New Haven, proposes to do this, of course the enterprise will prove failure. The result of the project, as far we can see' is an immense amount of popular ad- that is probably very gratifying to these disinterested nabobs.
 Now. we, the proprietors of the Enquirer, will give one eighth of what we are worth, and canoe! our pension claims, which we both hold On account of wounds received in the U. s. service, and enlist again, without bounty, to put down the next rebellion, if every other man Will do the same. Otherwise, we will pay our axes and speak good word for the govern nent whenever we have chance.
