The !" New York World" Of tho 2lst, has
tho following tsmarks on this subject:
Tho proclamation Of President johnson de.
olaring thesrinsurreotioh at an end In. all the
States is co,iiplete abdioasion Of all tho ex
traordinary powers with which the President
waa clothed by, Congress, during the war
This consequence would have attended Athe
previous proclamation, only Tilt did not in.

besa ssssssdssaasS Congress-, al ohs Whole, and
not as series of separate Instructions in sew
oral States, the, extraordinary powers did not
expire 90 long>as there -was any place where
the instruction had not been declared extinct.
There were only eleven States that seocdcd
but in consequence Of this local insurrection,
confined to ono section Of the country, the
President was:empowered by Congress TO sus-
pend the habeds corpus throughout tho Uni.
ted States, or any part of them, and this pow
'err was vcsted-in him till the end of the rebel
lion. But Texas having completed the con.
struction of hsloyal State Government, and
tho President having declared the insurrec.
tion at an end in that State, as well as in all
the others, the whole system of military in,
terference with the regular course Of law falls
TO the ground; ;and things revert to the coudi.
ton in whichthcy were before the war.
And now that the hideous system hns end.
/ ded we defy ahy >nnn to look back upon its
history, and point out an instance in which
! arbitrary arrests, overriding courts by nnrtal
law, and shutting up newspaper Offices by files
of soldiers, accomplished the slightest good,
minatioh of the war

as important, and were always very. easily re-.
