Good News from a far Country.

The political news from the Far West
is somewhat cheering. In Nebraska, we
learn from the Tribune of yesterday, the
Democrats have gained considerably on
last years vote, though that journal still
claims the success of the radical disunion-
lists ''beyond all peradventure. The
Radicals have been joyously appropriating
Oregon, and some Of their journals have
been quite ecstatic over the result on the
Pacific coast. Yesterday, however, Il
brief telegram came over the wires whi h
greatly dampened their hopes in that dis
tant region. The news is as follows:
''The result of the Oregon election re-
mains in doubt. Both parties claim the
State by a majority of about six hundred"
While this performance was going on in
Oregon, the ''copperheads'' were hard at
work a little further North, in a territory
called ''Washington," and the result of
their labors, ''as far as heard FROM IS
thus pleasantly announced:
''The returns of the election in Wash
ington Territory show large Democratic
gains. The entire Democratic ticket in
nine counties is elected, and it is believed
to be so in four others.'
We commend these fellows to ''Con-
gress." They certainly need reconstruct
ing" If the news should be confirmed by
subsequent intelligence, there is but one
thing left for the Humps do, and that
is to pass some constitutional amendment
which will prevent the inhabitants of these
benighted regions forever hereafter from
voting the Democratic ticket=Aqe.

Next, we take shoes as an example: We
manufactured, in this country, in 1860
boots and shoes to the value Of ninety mil.
lions. We imported boots and shoes cost
ing one hundred and saventy-two thousand
six hundred and thirty two dollars. Now
the tariff levied on boots and shoes produ.
ced the following results: 1t put into the
United States Treasury on those imported
one hundred and three thousand one hun.

a bonus, robbed from the pockets of our
Western people, sixty millions Of dollars.

satisfactory business profits.

ticles in the same way, but this will do fol

ty Of the whole is necessary to secure .
willing acquiescence In legislation. The
bill under consideration refers,to certain
States as though they had not been fully
restored to the United States; and if they
have not, let us at once act together to in
sure that desirable end at the earliest pos
sible moment. It is hardly necessary for
me to inform Congress that in my own
judgement most of these States, SO far as
depends on their,own action. have been fully
restored to the enjoyment of their Constitu-
tional rights as members of the Union.
Reasoning from the Constitution itself and
from the actual situation of the country, I
feel not only entitled but bound to assume
that with the Federal courts restored in the.
several States andIin the full exercise of
their functions, the rights and interests of
all classes OF people, with the aid of the
military in ceases of resistance to the law
will be essentially protected against uncon-
stltutlonal Infringement and violation.
Should this expectation unhappify fail,
which | do not anticipate, then the Execu-
tive is armed with the power of March 1865,
establishing Freedmen's Bureau, and
hereafter as heretofore, he can employ the
land and naval forces Of the country to sup
press insurrection and to overcome obstruc-
tions to the law. Ireturn the bill to thel
Senate, in earnest hope that measure in
Volvi9g questions and interests 50 impor-
tant to the country, will not become law
unless upon deliberate consideration of the |
people, it shall receive the sanction ofe
lightened public judgement. g~..e,

Gen. Lee Before the Reconstruc-
tiOn Committee

II WASHINGTON, Feb. l7.-Gen Robert e
Lee appeared this afternoon before the
Joint Committe, of fifteen, on Reconstruc
Ition. Though his evidence was given to
lthe subcommittee, composed Of Messrs
Washburne, of Illinois, Conkling, of N. Y.
land Blow, Of Missouri, who have the State
OF Virginia under consideration, on enter
ing the room, where the full committee were
in session, not three members of dozen
spoke to the witness, who seemed to notice
the fact He was soon taken before the
Subcommittee, when his examination pro
ceeded at considerable length, though it
did net elicit any prominent statement be-
|yond what might have, been anticipated
from the well known position Of the wit
ness. He was quite reticent, and did not
volunteer any remark beyond the proper
answers to the questions put to him. He
said that, SO far as he had the opportunity
for learning the people Of Virginia had &C
cepted the result in good faith, and were
anxious fora restored amity in the Union.
When pressed by question, he is said to
have intimated that the feeling for the
Uuion was much stronger just after the
close Of the war than now, for there appear
ed to him to be some Impotence among the
people that men who had not been identi-
lied with the war in the South should be
prevented from representing the State in
Congress. He said that there was o dis.
position to treat the freedmen as well for
their own interest as for that of the white
people. He expressed a decided hope that
the Government might endure tor all time,
and regarded the course of President john
son and Gen. Grant toward the South as
liberal and humane 1t was plain to the
committee that Gen. Lee found himself inl
q very unpleasant position, and he did not
communicate very freely. s@'. 5ys+

room and followed him from, the

called on him, but he avoided, as far as pos

Retributive Justice.

The Frankfort, Ky, Yeonen common
ting on the coprse Of the radicals in tina
State during the war and up to the tim,
the strong arm Of the military protected
item in their deeds Of delivery remarks.
Those who brought our people under tn
rule of an iron despotism, and rejoiced o
our prostitution; and fattened upon ou
spoilations. are realizing a reaction, anl
there are swift witnesses to testify against
them. Men bloated with consequence bu
a few months ago, have shrupk almost te
a lean and slippered pantaloons,' and, If al
memorable justice did not require their pun
lishment our compassion would almost bury
q remembrance Of our wrongs.
But for fear some adverse providence
might at some future time place us ct the
mercy of their like again, it is well to make
such an example of them that late pros.
perity hay have vivid remembrance Of the
warning. The arm ofjustice has fallen upon
some, but on none surely as yet. Those
who invoked the intercession of armed men
to become the representatives of an I'M
willing people have been sent back to be
dealt with by those whom they had outrag.
ed and in every instance they have receiV-
eda condemnation as emphatic as it was
just. Men were never more marked FOR
scorn than those expelled from positions
they had usurped for never did men better
deserve such infamy. They saw their
neighbors, old men and feeble, bound and
exposed to an August sun for no other
reason under Heaven than for wishing to
prevent themselves from being misrepre-
scented in their legislative halls.
This they witnessed not only unmoved
but were consulting parties thereto and
even instigators there Of. Yet the punish
ment so far has been only to submit them
and their claims to the constituencies they
proposed to represent vi ct arnsis, and the
constituencies, without the ri ct arms, have
set seal of condemnation upon them
which cannot be mistaken. Sic sempter
tyrannis, though discedited by the assas-
sin, is most appropriate for such as these.
The arm they invoked is now shortened
that it cannot save; and when grand juries
get upon their track, and the indignation of
an outraged people shall awaken, they may
well call upon the mountains to cover them.
They bowed the knees to Baal, and Baal
hath forsaken them in their extremity, 4
