BaT 1t appears that President johnson has
recently been throwing some light on the
meaning of his peace proclamation. The
President seems to regard it as only another
step in the policy of reconstruction being pur-
sued by the government. 1t does not suspend
the operation Of military law in any of the
States, and the Freedmen's Bureau will CONT
nue. to exercise its accustomed functions all
through the South. Army officers will remain
on duty as its agents, and justice, it is said,
will continue to be administered between the
freedmen and the whites by the existing semi
military courts, till the various States give the
former the right to be heard in the civil courts
In the same manner that the latter are
The scope of the proclamation with respect
to military trials by courts martial and COM
missions, does not seem we'll understood even
by officers in authority even in Washington.
The department commanders of Georgia and
Alabama have telegraphed to Washington for
information on the subject, and it is under
stood that the matter was brought before the
Cabinet several days ago, and it is likely that
instructions will speedily be issued by the War
Department to the various military depart
ments through the South

FENIAN MOVEMENTS.

We notice that some alarm has been excl
ted along the borders of Canada, by the ap-
pearance of a squad or two of what are called
Fenans in the neighborhood of Castine Maine
and other points along the border line. Iota,
the well informed Washington Correspondent
of the Baltimore San says: 1t is not pro-
bable that the President will issue any pro-
clamation at present concerning the Fenian
movement, though it would be worth more to
the Fenian leaders than anybody else. The
President, as it has been rumored by some
who are likely to know his views on the sub
ject, is too shrewd to commit any such mistake,
even if the British minister should express
any alarm at the Fenian menaces, which, by
the way, he has not done since the scare of st.
Patricks day 1t is true, however, that the
government is watchful, through its proper
and usual agents, to prevent any violation OF
our neutrality, either on the Canada or the
Mexican border

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

There is tremendous effort on the part of
the radicals to get the ascendancy over the
President in the political contest But beyond
any doubt the President is at present master
of the situation, with ability to hold on till
the storm of fanaticism subsidies 1t is now
said that the notification act of Judge Under
wood Of Virginia, in deciding the Habeas
Corpus as yet non-existiog, will soon be fol-
lowed by Proclamation, declaring the sus-
pension over. The radicals have in contem-
plation a series of revolutionary measures,
and a perpetual session is advocated by them
until they can fasten their measures upon the
country. One of their projects oontemplates
the deprivation of the President of all power
over ofhce-holders by removal or otherwise, =
and then when he vetoes the act, to override
the veto. The next is to give the Clerk of
the House such power in the organization of
new Congress, that not only Southern mem
bers can't get in,-but even the men called
Northern Copperheads, such as they have
been expelling. And the other is to make
negroes equal to white men, in all matters of
citizenship (going even further than the Civil
Rights Billy so as to compel the State by act
of Congress to let them vote

SHIP FEyER-NoT CHOLERA

The New York Herald argues to prove that
the numerous deaths which occurred on the
steamship England during her last passage
from Europe to America were very possibly
caused, not by cholera, but by ship fever.
Certainly an undue and unnecessary alarm
has been occasioned by the report; for,
even if true, it does not follow that a like
malgnancy will characterize the disease on
land in places where people have wholesome
food, fresh air, and pure water The Herald
says:
Gin times like the present, when AIN antici-
patton OF the appearance of this dreadful
disease is subject of public anxiety, there
is tendency on all hands, and even on the
part of certain professionals, to pronounce
everything cholera that looks like it, or has
any one of its more striking symptoms.
Cholera is not reported as prevailing at the
port from which the England sailed, and it is,
therefore, explained that it was probably
brought by the German passengers But it
did not appear on the hansa, all Of whose
passengers were Germans of the same
class. The point of difference between the
ships was, that one was greatly crowded and
the others were not. The crowded state of
the ship was enough to induce disease, which
was, perhaps, deep type of ship fever, that,
with improper food or water, had severe alb
dominal complications. There was perhaps,
no more cholera on the England than on the
Atlanta few months ago. All the proba-
bilities are against it, We are Opposed to be-
heve that virulent form of ship fever has
been called cholera without a sufficient con-
sderation of its true character"
