1t was not long ago that John Bull
was doing honor to the pirate Of the
Alabama. The young commodores I"
of the British Admiralty, in their new
est and most richly gold-laced red
coats, took the corsair to their elegant
clubs. The blonde misses of Albion
opened those blue eyes of theirs, near
~ as large as their mouths, to gaze in
admiration on Old Semmes, and strew-
ed roses i'll his path. Then came the
news of Lincoln's death, and there
was a roar of laughter in England at
his successor, the tailor, the rowdy,
the fellow with a big paunch. At one
of the theatres specially frcquented by
sailors and coachmen, clown was
dressed up in the Presidents official
costume, with the word johnson y
chalked on his back-a delicate cpl
gram. But John Bull has begun to
look serious, now that Mr.. johnson has
sent in his bill for damages done by
the Alabama. The smart commodores
are trying to prove that they feasted
the captain of the Alabama in honor
of the Kearsarge the blonde misses
are taught to recognize the perfect
gentleman in Mr.. johnson, though he
is prodigy J; and Lord Russell writes
to the President, Your Excellency,
don't fret we shall make all square"

The Wild Northwest.

The number of hunters and trappers
living on or near the Red river Of
the North" is estimated at thirty
thousand. They have no newspapers,
no political civilization, and only a
limited communication with the outer
world. The largest portion of their
furs find their readiest way to market
through Minnesota to the Mississippi
river. 1t is hundred years since thu
first trading-posts were established
there, yet up to the present time there
has been no progress towas11 civiliza
ton. This is likely to be changed be-
fore long. A movement is now or
foot to secure representation in the
Canadian Parliament, and the wood
choppers and settlers will soon be
there, when the era of free Western
life, so full of romance, and SO full Of
discomforts, will be at an end.

Reconstructed rebels in Washington
do not disguise their fears that the
bad faith of many of their pardoned
brethren in the South will seriously
affect their political aspirations and
interests. The loss of the Executive
confidence, which they admit they de-
served, occasions serious apprehen-
sion, and the more information they OBJ
tain of the sentiments Of Northern
Congressman the more apparent it be-
comes that they have no chance of adj
mission into the next Congress.

BY the Cerro Gordo Republican that
VIM. Nichols, formerly Of Green Coun'

before Judge Randall on q charge Of

where he stopped over night while o.
his way to the asylum. He was cor
tinually engaged in religious exercise
singing hymns, repeating the Lord
Prayer, &c. 1t was said that his in

Ur. Colfax'a Hpeech.

The Washington speech of Hon.
Schuyler Colfax fairly reflects the SEN
timents of the Republican party. His
positions are briefly: ~
l. That Congress ia the law making
power on the subject of restoration.
.. That Congress will sanction the
action of the President in requiring
the State Conventions to annul the Sc
ccssion ordinance, in requiring their
Legislatures to ratify the Constitution
al amendment abolishing slavery and
in repudiating the rebel debt, but that
3. Congress will also protect the
freedmen as freemen, entitled to all the
rights referred to by the Declaration Of
Independence when it declares that
"all men are created equal"
4. Congress will require that their
amended State Constitutions, embody-
ing this principle, shall be ratified at
the polls by majority of the South
ern people. la
S. Congress will exclude all who can
not swear they have not voluntarily
supported the rebellion. ~
6. And finally in all the work of re-
construction Congress will proceed
slowly and deliberately.
Mr.. Colfax is not only by his cast Of
mind representative Republican, but
in this speech he has Intentionally and
frankly laid down the platform on
which the House of Representatives
will be called on to vote for or against
him for speaker. We believe the par
ty in the House will pretty unanimous
~ sustain him, and that if there would
be any considerable departure from his
views on the part Of any large number
Of its members, it would be in the d.
rection Of q more emphatic demand
that the suffrage at the South should
not be confined to the white or lately
rebel element.

Among the pardons granted last
week by the President was special
one to Major Echols, graduate from
West Point and an engineer officer of
the old army. Echols was chief en-
gineer of the rebel defences of Charles
ton, and was pitted against Gilmore,
who scientifically besieged the city. He
is the first instance of a pardon to any
one of that class of men who were edu-
Gated at their country's expense, and
who plunged into rebellion at the first
bugle call. The pardon was granted
on the recommendation of the Attor-
ney General. The young man having
an invention which is likely to he of
great benefit to the government, and
which he could not get patented with
out pardon. Hitherto the President
has steadily refused to pardon men of
this class, but all army officers vouch
that he is not mistaken in this case of
cle,nency.
