having taken out his watch to answer the ques-
ton, Duffy knocked him down and ran of with
his watch, which was valued at Sl2. For the time
being, duffy succeeded IN escaping, but was at-
forwards arrested by the police. The watch, how
ever, was not recovered. The testimony did not
show any completely in the affair on the part of
Robinson.

The Peace Proclamation Opinions OF the

We publish to-day n proclamation by the
President, announcing the flnal closing of
the war, the complete achievement of the
objects for which the war was begun, the
full recognition blythe Executive of the
Southern States az part of the Union. the
termination of military Jurisdiction in all
but one State of the South. and the resto.
ration of the writ of haJeas corpus.
Not material point bearing upon the dc.
clared purpose offcilher branch of tho Ma.
tional gislature or of the President in
carrying on the war for tho Union is left
tof account in therecitpl. Andthat reoi-
tal, we venture to think, leads directly and
logically TO :lie conclusion reached in the
proclamation tlia. the necessity for mill
tary occupations of the South has ceased and
that thus necessity for legislation for the
South, aqder tie ,ear po,0sr, is also at an end
Texas alone being IN exception for tho
time iFHS
This Interpretation of the present status
of the South virtually places South Carolina
and New YORK on the same footing in all
that appertains to their relations TO other
States. and to the National Government.
And the proclamation carries with II this
feree Without the slightest imningelnent
upon the high prerogative which Congress
holds to determine the rights Of individual
claimants to seats in either branch of that
body.
In view of our commercial and financial
position, we cannot regard this great Exc

estrange majority in Congress from the
