EMIT Cotton Agents.

1t seems the reign of cotton agents east
Of the Mississippi river is really over, and
hencetorth there is to be no restriction up
on the traffic, except the internal revenue
tax of two cents per pound. About this
there can no longer be any doubt, notwith
standing the ambiguous phraseology of the
President $ proclamation. We are officially
notified of the fact from Washington, and
Secretary McCulloch telegraphed to the
same effect, yesterday in response to an in
quiry by certain New York merchants. So
far, so good now let President johnson
issue, another proclamation, remitting the
penalties Of the confscation act against
those who are worth more than twenty
thousand dollars. The South wants money
to put the wheels Of commerce in motion,
and there is plenty at the North to lend 4;
but so long as the well-to-do men of the
South can neither sell thoir cotton nor
mortgage their land, everything will be at a
stand-still; Suffering and downright star
vation will result, unless all restraints are
taken away from production and distribu-
ton. IA. y World

The nead-Letter ONCE.

The public may be surprised to learn that
the number of letters which are now being
rcceiveda at the Dead. Letter Office, sent there
under the new law, which makes prepay
mcnt of postage compulsory, amounts to
more than fifteen thousand per week. These
figures denote great carelessness or ignor-
ance Of the law on the part ofthe senders of
these letters. The public should remember
that the old law allowing letters not prepaid
to be sent forward according to the address,
aud double postage collected Of the receiver,
has been repealed that now every letter
not entitled to be carried through the mails
free must have stamp upon II, or IT is sent
to the Dead Letter Office. Especial care
should be taken by every person to observe
at the time of depositing letter in the
post office that the postage stamp is firmly
fixed upon it. Such attentive scrutiny
would soon reduce the number Of letters
"held for postage" and consequently pre-
vent the cmbarrassments and vexatious de-
lays now arising from this class Of letters.

Democratic County Ticket.
poIitiCaI Prospects.

Those who think we will not have an ex-
cited political campaign the coming fall are
doomed 20 disappointment. Every thing
indicates one Of the most hotly contested
elections ever witnessed in the State.
The people smarting under the Affections
of taxation and the injustice with which it
is levied will be urged on to desperate
contest with the Office holders. The posi-
ton that the so-caled Republican party has
assumed in favor Of negro suffrage will
prompt all those who wish this to be white
mans government, ruled by white men, to
make every possible exertion in favor of the
white man cause.
JoHS BRoUGH, life long Democrat

will be their candidate for governor. TIL,
Democracy will nominate some man of char
acter and influence, and the excitement, il
our opinion, will be fully equal TO that 0

Let the notes Of preparation sound alon
the line and all be ready for the great con
test between white men on one side and ne

War ON the Catholics.

The Republican authorities Of the city OF
Chicago have discharged every German and
Irish Catholic heretofore engaged on the
public works Of that city, TO make room for
a mob of anti catholic Abolitionists and nc
groes no Catholic is allowed day d work
Such is to be the rule in every city that falls
under the entire control of the Republican
party Catholics have welcome enough to
fight the battles of that party but arc to
be left TO starve afterwards, ifthey come out
with their lives Negroes and Abolitionists
are to have sole monopoly Of all tho public
benefits. 1t would have been just and
wise thing had the Catholics !cG, the Abo.
litiouists and negroes to fight their own
battles. 1t is the ethics of the Republican
party that Catholics are good enough to kill
of in war, but not good enough to be en-.
ployed on the public works

The south.

Sundry statements made by cores
pondent of the New York Times, in recent
letter concerning the destitution in Alabama,
the hatred Of the people to the union, the
cruel treatment ofnegroes, such as cutting
of their ears, lips and noses from pure
devilism, and because their masters had no
other way by which to visit the vengetul
feelings occasioncd by emancipation, have
attracted much attention. The New York
Commercial Adrertiser, in giving summary
of crop prospects throughout the country,
says letter writers Of Montgomery, Ala, ,
and other points in the state, say that there
will be good crops, if the clements continue
Times correspondent represented the plan
tntlons as growing up to weeds, and the
whites buried in istlcSsness save when they
awoke sufficiently to execute cruelties on
the negroes. Is it necessary, now that sla
very isdead, to revive Ilelperism? The New
York Tribune incorporates the letter of the
Times correspondent in an editorial, ant
makes it the basis for IA moving appeal TO
colored suffrage There Z lpo doubt tina
there is much destitution in the South, an,
there is less doubt that the condition O
society depicted in the letter does not exist
and that its statements in that regard ar
purely false and slanderous.

cellent and competent men. 1t is sure to

Governor, we will have lively fight on

The Democracy of Crawford county make
their local nominations on Saturday the 24th
of June. Crowford may safely be set
down as one of the counties that will not
give majority for the Abolition candi-
dates.
Tho time for holding the Democratic State
Convention has not yet been fixed, but it
will be announced shortly after the adjourn
ment of the Office-holdcrs' Convention
which is to have it's session on the 2lst of
June. Let the Democracy rest assured that
Abolitionism will not walk the course in
OHIO without opposition.

So says the New York Tribune, aud so

Mexico.

The news from Mexico is of character
to indicate that while, for obviously selfish
reasons, Maximilian desires to be on good
terms with our Government, he is not with.
out serious appprehensions that aregard for
the established policy of this country on the
part of the American people, may lead to
results unfavorablc to his designs. He
doubtless has the penetration to perceive
that he holds his position by no other rella-
bic tcnsurc than the rccrcancy OF our Gov
crnment to its oft repeated pledges to re-
spect and maintain the Monroe doctrine
against all monarchial combinations of Eu-
rope. Taking advantage of our domestic
difficulties, he has established his throne up
on the ruins Of what remained OF Repub-
licanism in Mexico, while his ambitious
hopes rested upon the supposed inability
Of the United States to give full expression
to the will and policy of our Government as
embodied in the doctrine referred to-
But all Authorizations Of the crowned heads
of Europe, predicated on their hopes of our
destruction, have been dspelled by events
of recent occurrence. Instead OF demon
stration of the alledged weakness of our
form of government, our difficulties,
though of deporable character in them
selves considered have served to develop
our astonishing resources, and to render ap-
parent to the world the now ad-
mitted fact, that we areabundantly able to
assert and maintain our rights as a nation
and to carry out that policy, to which. as a
people, we are pledged. No doubt Maxi
milan now wishes to be on good terms with
this country--so do France and England
and other nationalites. But why do they
desire our friendship Because they have
learned to expect nothing from either on,
enmity or our domestic animosites. The!
have found out that we are a country to b,
respected and feared, with vitality enough
to survive all of our internal dissentions
and with strength enough left to read som'
practical homlies to those who dislike tn,
influence Of our example and envy the sue
cess of popular political institutions 1t re

Mexico will gain by wheeling and impera

The Issue Made Up.

The president, by his proclamation, de-
clarcs the relations Of the state of Tennessee
to the federal government to be fully and
completely restored.
The new constitution of Tennessee does
not confer the privilege Of suffrage upon
negroes.
Senator WILSON, of Massachusetts, at a
meeting of negro worshipcrs in Boston, the
other day, gave President JOHNSON notice
that senators and representatives would not
be admitted to congress from Tennessee SC
long as the state refused suffrage to negroes.
Senator WILSON spoke on behalf Of the
whole negro-worshiping fraternity.
The issue, then, is made up between

The Richmond Republic has no doubt
that should LEE be arrested on an Indictment
the President would interpose to prevent
proceedings beyond that point, on hearing
that any officer or soldier included in the
late surrender of the Confederate armies
had beon indicted. There is little doubt of
it, for the President could not permit the
nation to be disgraced by violation of its
plighted faith. LEE will not be tried.

An Act OF Royal CIemenCy.

King JOHN has issued proclamation, or
letter of amnesty, with reference to the re-
bellion in Saxony, which was subjugated in
I849. The Kings letter of amnesty to the
TRAITORS and rebels" looks but little like
what the abolitionsts would like to have in
this country. He has for some reason Sc
lected the present time for the publication
of his amnesty proclamation, which is as
follows;
My DEAR MINISTER STATE Won BEHR;
When the goodness of God sends blessings
to us, we feel ourselves doubly moved to do
good to our fellow creatures, and to exercise
mercy toward them. This sentiment leads
me TO celebrate, by general act of clemency,
the great happiness which God has recently
given to me- my family, and the whole
country.
had already on several occasions granted
pardon to the persons implicated in the
movements of May, l849. To-day Idesire
to extend this clemency to''all; to permit a
free return to all who are living in exile,
and to restore their civil rights and honors
TO those who we're on that occasion deprived
: of them. charge you, accordingly, to lay
before me, together with the ministers OF
Justice and the interior, the measures neceS-
sary to effect this result.
Yours affcctonately, JoHN.
Dresden May 2T, 1868.
The terms of this royal letter are as inter
esting and instructive as its substance. 1t
will be observed that this ruler by right
divine" has nothing to say of the "dovlisll
crime of treason !" that he contents himself
with describing one of the most savage cpl
sodes of the popular revolutions Of lSi9
simply rs 'tho movements Of May in that
year. and that he recognizes the obligation
to mercy as duty toward the Divine Givei
of good to men.
With such sentiments King JOHN would
in this country be denounced as copper
head, bulled by abolition papers, reviled by
abolition preachers, run down by Provost
Marshals, and, perhaps, tried by military
commission and crammod into filthy dun
geon for punishment. What sight, for
Republicans clamoring for the sanguinary
expiation of political crimes; and kings ox-

An Admission.

The Washington correspondent of the
Columbus Journal, the central Republican
organ of the State, makes the following
admission ;
Speaking Of Jefferson Davis, very little
is said about his trial here. There seems
to be an impression abroad that if he is
tried for high treason, before ciyiltrbunal,
by a Jury ef twelve citizens, chosen
by lot from the residents of this district, the
whole thing will amount to fzzlc, "
The correspondent thinks that the only
way to have the right kind of jurymcn will
be to pack them" This is a pretty i'm,
portant admission. If the trial ever take,
place we shall look out for the packing pro
