GEN. LEES APPLICATION o PARDON.
After the Presidents proclamation Of
peace in May last, Gen. Lee, it appears,
made up his mind to apply for pardon,
but hearing that he had been indicted for
treason at Norfolk, he concluded to OBJ
tain Gen. Grants opinion as to the legali-
ty of such indictment. Accordingly he
enclosed 10 Gen. Grant an application for
pardon, and stated to that eminent officer
that he had learned that he was to be in
dicted for treason at Norfolk, but that he
supposed the rebel officers and soldiers
were, by the terms Of their surrender, to
be protected from moleststion 70 long as
they conformed to their paroles. Gen.
Grant replied, On June 26th, that the ap-
plication had been received and forwarded
to the Secretary Of War. with the recon-
menda,ion that the pardon be granted,
and in addition a statement that in his
opinion the rebels paroled at Appomattox
Court House could not be tried for treason
so long as they observed the terms of their
paroles. Gen. Grant also says in his let
ter that such, he is informed, 10 the opin-
ion Of the Government, and that the
terms granted by him to the rebels a, Ap.
pomattox Court House were at the time
heartily approved by President Lincoln
and the country.

THE Post says: "For our own part we
support Gov. Fenton most cordially :"
and then proceeds to give reasons for this
support calculated to set other Republic
cans against him. But no matter, since
the Post has been constrained to take Q po-
sition in which it can do the Republican
cause less harm than it evidently medi-
tates.-Neto York Tribune.
This il but q common specimen Of the
narrowness and bigotry that is just now
rampant with the Tribune, and in some
other Republican party quarters. They
are not satisfied that people shall continue
in the Republican party and support its
principles and candidates; but they en-
deavor to make a test of the reasons which
actuate such friends and allies. You
must, they substantially say, vote the Re-
publican ticket for the same reason that
we do, or you are enemies in disguise.
No one has generally needed or received
greater license and oharity-has jumped
over the party fence, ran cross lots, and
~gamboled friskily around the political pas
ture, lore often, and been INDUCED in it,
than Mr.. Greeley. But be seems just now
to be acting the part of a very rough po-
liceman and %jailor, and shoots down de-
serters or spies, everybody who step out
Of the ranks to look over the fence, or
even venture to look cross.wise. Such
treatment Is unworthy its source, and
must be improbable to the party in whose
service it is preferred Springfield (Mass.)

Speaking Of the failure of Cow Gibbs

THE EXTRA BOUNTY.

The War Department has issued a series
of regulations respecting the filing OF
claims for the extra bounty" voted by
Congress. All claims must be filed before
the first of April, 1867, and no claims filed
after that time will be settled until the
former are paid. The original discharge
Of the soldier must accompany the claim
and also the affidavit required by the four
tenth section of the Bounty Act. and the
further affidavit that he has not received.
nor is he entitled TO receive, from the
United States, under any laws or regula-
tions prior TO the Act of July %, 1866,
more than 500 bounty for any and all
military service rendered by him during
the late rebellion, over and above the
amount therein claimed. The forms now
used in applying for bounty are to be
used in applications for the extra bounty.
Registers of the claims are to be kept by
the Paymaster General and the Second
Auditor. and il approved, the amount Of
bounty paid to each will be noted, and if
rejected the cause will be distinctly stated.
Soldiers enlisted for three years or during
the war, who were discharged by reason
Of the termination Of the war, are entitled
to the extra bounty. The minority Of
soldiers heirs claiming bounty must be
proved to have existed at the date Of the
passage Of the Act, July %, 1866. The
following classes Of soldiers are prohibited
from receiving extra bounty for the pro-
visions of the act: D~ishonorably discharged
soldiers. although they may have served
the full period Of their enlistment; those
discharged during their term of enlistment
by way OF favor or punishment; those dis
charged on account Of disability contracted
in the service, but not occasioned by
wounds received in the line Of duty, who
shall not have previously served two or
three years respectively at the time Of dis
charge; those discharged on account Of
disability existing at the time Of their en-
listment; the heirs of those who have died
since their discharge Of wounds or disease
not contracted IN the service and in the
line OF duty ; the surviving soldiers and
heirs Of deceased soldiers who, under pre-
! yious laws, have received or are entitled to
receive a bounty Of more than 500 from
the United States; the surviving soldiers,
as well as heirs Of deceased soldiers, when
such soldiers have bsrtered, sold, assigned,
loaned, transferred, exchanged or given
away their final discharge papers, or any
interest in the bounty provided by this or
any other act Of Congress.

THE M OF EUROPE.

From q carefully prepared table pub
lished in the Journal of the Statistical So
ciety Of Paris, it appears that in time Of
peace (the calculations being based upon
the military returns from 1860 to 1859
the various countries Of Europe maintain
ed armies amounting to 3,Sl5.S47 men, at
an annual cost of S644,2S0,l09 This
was an average of one soldier to every
seventy-six inhabitants Of Europe, and
the annual cos, Of their maintenance aver-
aged Sl69 per soldier. OF this vast mill
tary array. Russia maintained 100000
soldiers, or n to every sixty-tour iuhabi-
tauts, a, an average expense Of Sl06 per
soldier. France maintained 5l3,S49;
Austria, 467 ,24l Turkey, $4,000; Italy,
3l4,235; Great Britain, 300,S23, and Prus-
sia, 2l4.4S2. In France there was n
soldier to every seventy-three inhabitants;
in Austria, one to seventy-fve; Turkey,
one to %ninety-one; Italy, one to seventy /;
Great Britain. ono to ninety seven, and in
Prussia, one to eighty-six. In France the
annual cost Of supporting each soldier was
SECS in Austria. Sl44 /; in Turkey, 500 ;
in Italy, S2lo; in Great Britain, S446, and
in Prussia, $l4s. The army Of Great
Britain, in proportion to its strength, was
almost. twice as costly as that Of France,
and nearly three times as costly as that of
Austria or Prussia. In Russia the cost Of
the military establishment was AZ per cent.
of the entire expenses of the country; in
France it was SO per cent; in Austria, 81
per cent; in Italy, p per cent; in Great
Britain, 80 per cent, and in Prussia, 80
per cent. It also appears that 80 per
cent. Of the total annual disbursements of
Europe are made for the support Of stand
ing armies; and the enormous annual cost
Of these armies-nearly six hundred and
fifty millions of dollars-is borne in time
Of peace merely that they may watch each
other. During the rebellion the United
States expended annually more money for
the support Of Its armies than all the ma
tons Of Europe expended in supporting
the enormous armies they maintain.

A SNAKE ,CHARMBR AND HIS PRrs-
THRILLING CONFERENCE.-The Buffalo
Express, Of September l4th, has the fol-
lowing:
On Tuesday night last, Costello, the
we'll known "snake charmer," gave an
exhibition Of his singular power over these
dangerous reptiles on the stage Of the
American Theater. He handled careless
ly, but with the utmost fmpunity, . large
number Of freshly-caught and venomous
rattlesnakes Of a very large size, twisting
them srouad bis arms, and body, placing
a number Of them in his bosom and around
his neck, giving undoubted evidence that
they were, under ordinary circumstances,
perfectly Of his command. The perform
ance being over. as Costello was descend
ing the stairs leading from the theater to
the saloon, with a number of snakes in
side his shirt, and around his person, be-
ing pressed upon and jos'led by the crowd,
some Of whom, it is to be hoped thought
lessly, struck the snakes which were
around him. This excited their ire, as he
suddenly cried out that he was bitten,
and entering the saloon took off his shirt
when ii was discovered that the venom Of
the snake Rad taken effect in the right
shoulder, which In q few moments swelled
to a frightful size and he commenced froth-
ing at the mouth. DR.. Bartlett was i'm
mediately sent for and was at once in at
tendance; the flesh around the wound was
cut out, and prompt medical measures
employed, and the immediate effects Of the
poison overcome. About two hours az
terward the virulence Of the poison mani
tested itself in a very strange manner,
the mans mind became disordered, he
threw his arms wildly about and was cor
tinually singing wild songs, all Of which
had reference to the snakes. This con-
tinued until he was completely exhausted,
when he sank into an uneasy slumber.
Last night lockjaw superseded, but we
learn that he is reported better this morn

hesitate to invest in mines in this country:
"Ths claim.jumping, black-maillng and
other extortionate proceedings that char
a~ctsrize California mining districts. have
rendered them 90 thoroughly obnoxious
in thi, marke, New York; that capitalists
as a general thing will not look at any

for it is very natural that when rascality
prevails to so large an extent, there 10 no
safety. The best mine may be ruined by
