The President,s Proclamation.

lfrom the New 1ork tribune April al
Those who imagine that President ] ohm
sons proclamation announcing 'peace" is
of no value but as a mere expression of
Executive opinion, are mistaken. The
President does not issue proclamations
that mean nothing and this last is in the
interest of retrenchment and reform.
While war 'raged," officers of the army
were allowed war privileges. They had
war r%ations, which we're better and larger
than the rations of peace. They rode a
larger number of horses, occupied more
numerous quarters, and were attended by
a greater number of servants. Now that
we have "pesce," these absorbing gentle
men will not be paid for extra horses
which were never in a stable, and extra
rations which were neve eaten, or for
John Does and Richard Roes in the shape
of servants" In New York alone, the
Presidents proclamation will save the
Government Treasury, it is estimated,
S75 a month or, to be more accurate,
about 81 so to SO a day. We hasten to
state this fact to show, as we have said,
that when Andrew johnson issues his
proclamation he means something. 1t
will be well if every column A. J. writes
this military department 50 80 q

The ProEress OF MY Policy,

The New York RorLd's Washington
correspondent says that the propriety of
issuing a proclamation of ganeral am
nesty is being seriously discussed in Csbi-
net meetings, and that three members of
the Cabinet are strongly in favor of such a
step. As the World is now in some sense
an organ of the Administration, we sup
pose we must accept its statement as true.
The proposed action would be perfectly in
consonance with "my policy" The two
vetoes, the Birthday speech, and the
Peace Proclamation may very appropri-
ately be followed by a proclamation of
amnesty, and the liberation Of the thrice
periured traitor Jefferson Davis. We
are rapidly progressing toward recon
struction." Should matters go as well in
the future as in the past, we shall expect
to see Andrew johnson and Alexander
H. Stephensfunning together on a ere
constructed Presidential ticket in 1868
Jefferson Davis installed as Secretary of
State in a reconstructed" Cabinet !;
Breckenridge and Benjamin resuming
their old seats in a " RECONSTRUCTED SEN
ate Lee supplanting Grant as Lieuten-
ant General Of a reconstructed army;
and Mason and Slidell taking the places
of Adams and Bigelow as " reconstructed y
foreign ministers. "Treason will be made
odious " "the President will be triumph
ant" and "the country will be happy

Tbe CINCINNATI E,,ouirer under h

The Cincinnati Enquirer, under the
head, GAnother Laudable Act in Contem-
plation," has the following:
at is stated in the Washington news, and
we have no doubt of its truth, that Presi-
dent johnson will, in q few days, order the
release of Jefferson Davis and G. c. Clay
upon parole. They will never be tried upon
the lying charge Of their being accessories
TO the murder Of Lincoln"
The Southern Confederacy in its palm
lest days, never had a warmer supporter
than the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is fit
ting that that paper should champion
its fallen chief in his adversely as boldly
as when he headed the array Of treason.
But can Union men, who sustained the
government in crushing the conspiracy,
unite with this most disloysl of journals
in raising peans to President johnson for
iberating the chief c~onspirstor2

POLITICAL.

The Legislature of Wisconsin will re-
quest Senator Doolittle to resign, on ac-
count of his refusal to obey instructions
upon the Presidents veto.
Three hundred guns were fired at Quin-
CIV, Illinois, in honor of the Senate for
passing the Civil Rights bill over the veto.
Great enthusiasm prevailed, loyal men
feeling as they did when Richmond
fell. Statutes were also fred at Boston ;
Philadelphia, and Pottsviile, Pennsylva-
mia and Bangor and Portland, Maine.
Mr.. Scovel, President of the New Jer-
sey Senate, whose f~actious course has pre-
vented the election of a Senator from that
State, has been expelled from the Union
League of this city, and movements are
on foot to expel him from the Philsdel-
phia League, Of which he is also a men,
Der.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, whose editor
is Postmaster of his city, and which has
tried to remain on the fence rs between
johnson and the party, declares now that
if the men "who a year ago denounced
athe President as q drunken vagabond,
straitor, and a man who would sell him
Hself for pelf, are now to be taken into his
confidence, the postmaster of this city
wants to be counted out. He will never
associate with men who occupied cells
ain the Capitol Prison at Washington for
"disloyalty."

An ApDroprIate Fast.Day.

On Sunday next, April 18th, occurs the
anniversary of the death of Abraham
Lincoln. The universal grief occasioned
by his loss has not been lessened by the
character and career of his successor, and,
as the anniversary of the national bereave-
ment draws near, the condition of the
country, brought on by the ruinous policy
and the attempted usurpations of our Ac-
cidental President, suggests forcibly to
every patriot the propriety Of commemor-
sting the loss of him who would to-day
have been our Chief Magistrate, had not
the will Of the people, expressed at the
ballot-box, been banked by the bullet Of
an assassin. In harmony with this feel
ing, Governor oglesby, of Illinois, has
issued a proclamation setting aside the
day as one of fasting, humiliation and
prayer. The example thus set is an ex-
cellent one, and although it is too late for
our own Governor to follow it we yet
hope that every true lover Of the country
will keep the day in his heart.

A Snowman turned statesman

The soul of the Cleveland Herald is
comforted. 1t has got 8 witness at last
to prove that the South is loyal, and it
cackles over his testimony like a hen over
her last egg. Generals Thomas, Terry,
Grierson, Custer-you who have testified
SO amply to the disloyal feeling in the
South-you may stand aside-your
testimony is rebutted, contradicted
and confuted / And by whom None
other than 'the great Snowman, Dan
Rice"II Stand aside, generals and
gentlemen ALL Make room for the cir
Gus clown Let the ring-master crack
his whip, let the trumpsts blare, let the
trained pony dance on his hind feet-and,
behold, the clown in motley, with painted
cheeks and FOOLS cap on his head, turns a
double-summerset into the arena, makes
g pirouette in the saw-dust and bows to
the audience with: "Ladies and Gentle
men, what can I do for you to-day
Shall I exhibit the comic mules or give
you my views on reconstruction Shall
I introduce to you the beautiful and dar-

N. B. Mi. Rice's evidence was not
given before the Reconstruction Commit
tee, but came out in the course of a '1ong
and agreeable interview" with President
johnson. We hope since Mr.. johnson has
gone into the "show bizness" he will sum-
mon the renowned Artemus Ward to an
interview" That patriotic individual,
II our memory r US, has Travelled
quite extensively with his wax-workS

The Loan Bill passed the Senate yester-
day as it came from the House, and will
become a law as soon as it receives the
signature of the President. The follow
ing is the text of the bill:
SECTION /. Be it enacted that the act
entitled AN act to provide ways and means
to support the Government approved
March 3, 1865, shall be extended and con-
strued to authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury, at his discretion, to receive any
tr~easury-notes or other obligations issued

ing interest or not, in exchange for any
description of bonds authorized by the act
to which this is an amendment, and also
to dispose of any description of bonds au-
thorized by said act, either in the United
States or elsewhere, to such an amount,
in such manner, and at such rates as he
may think advisable, for the lawful money

notes, certificates of indebtedness, or GER
tihcates of deposit, or other representa-
tives of value which have been, or
which ma be, issued under any act
of Congress, the proceeds thereof to be
used only for retrieving Treasury debts or
other obligations issued under any act of

900, 600 may be retrieved and Cancelled
within six months after the passage of this
act, and thereafter not more than $4,000,

TunneI under the EugIish ChanneI,

English engineers have recently been
in Paris to obtain the authorization of the
French government to have soundings
and measurements made on the French
coast with reference to the construction
of a tunnel fro Calais to Dover. The
distance would be at least thirty miles.
1t appears to be an impossible engineer
ing problem, but the Mont Gents tunnel
is cited in support of the feasibility of the
scheme. There are few undertakings the
success of which would be hailed with
great satisfaction by the travelling public
than this. No traveller to the Continent
can ever forget that wretched English
Channel and the miserable little tubs Of
steamboats, in which passengers are fer
RED across.

The Veto

The veto power has been exercised
twenty-eight times in the seventy-nine
years since the adoption of the Constitu-
ton. George Washington vetoed two
bills James Madison six; James Mon
roe one; Andrew jackson nine; John
Tyler four; James K. Polk three; james
Buchanan one; Andrew johnson two.
Jefferson, the Adsmses, Van Buren,, Har-
rison, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and Lin
coin did not use the veto power at all.
The passage of the Civil Rights Bill over
the Presidents veto is the second instance
of the sort in the history of the Govern
ment-the first having occurred during
the Administration of President Tyler.

The National Democracy - Senator
Salisbury makes q Comparison.

Salisbury makes q Comparison.
The National Democratic Committee, a
sort of dead-alive Washington organiza-
ton, held 8 meeting Saturday night to
discuss the propriety Of dying entirely.
The tempting chance of getting, through
Andrew Johnson's favor, another suck st
the government pap, caused them to con-
slider the question. Mr.. Salisbury, the
bibulous Delaware Senator, who was the
chief speaker, thought it best not to give
up the ghost just yet. Like Petroleum v.
Nasty, before he supported the President
be "wanted to know whathe was goin' to
git for it" johnson was dear to his soul,
but "Cabinet OFFICES were dearer. He
was disguised because the President still
chung to "the vilest of the vile" by which
phrase, as he took care to explain, he
meant Edwin N. Stanton and William Il.
Eewsrdl He wanted them kicked out and
and their fat offices given to good Johnso-
mans like Salisbury.
BE also expressed the belief-not very
relevant but quite original-that when
JEFF. Davis left the Senate he was a better
Union mar than Abraham Lincoln, and
declared that he intended to announcethis
belief in Congress. We certainly hope
he will do so. This unique opinion will
look well among the official records of
our National debates in the files of the
Congressional Globe. Let it &c upon the
record that the senstor from Delaware
believes Davis loyal and Lincoln TO have
been 8 traitor. Dogberry shall have his
wish. Lethim be written down an ass.
