upon Postmaster General Dennison and so
licitcd the appointment of n constituent Of

nation Of the Cabinet. The New York World
tells the President that she will never know how
far the people arc with him, or against him, 90

like piece OF old furniture that may have been
very useful to his predecessor, but Is now no lon
ger available and Il very much In the way"

GENERAL AMsEsrY.-The Columbia South
Carolinian, of April &c. in regard to the re-
port of President Johnson being about to issue
proclamation of amnesty, says:
We venture to re.assert that there Is something
to warrant the belief that such q proclamation
will soon be issued. The President himself, to our
certain knowledge, assured q gentleman who Wis
tied him In January last that he did contemplate
issuing such proclamation early In the Spring.
As the President 10 not In the habit Of changing
his declared purposes, the rumor In the ncwspa-
pers Is therefore something more than mere con-
lecture. The President has refused to grant to q
great many applicants, special pardons, on the
very ground that he was preparing the proclams-
ton, and that Il would relieve them OF prosecu.
lions against them pending In the Federal courts,
for their participations In tho rebellion.

that Gen. Grant has no brilliant military tall
ents ut all that he is not a great soldier (; that
he is simply thinner by trade and butcher by
occupation and that tho American people
are disgracing themselves by the sickening
batteries which have been heaped upon a man
who owes his present elevation entirely to the
fact of his having pandered to that horrible
taste for the blood of tho Southern people,
which, to our disgrace, prevailed in the Nortl,
during the war.
