Already the female world is agitated on the
all important question Of dress, and the horo-
scope, or rather kaleidoscope Of the chameleon
goddess, Fashion, is anxiously consulted by
her fair votaries. We have already chronicled
the preparations made for the political and
amusement campaigns, and the programme Of
the modiste alone remains. The revolution
which commenced last spring in fashions is
still progressing, and the days Of huge bonnets
and balloon dresses seem to be numbered for
ever. The modistes, however, are meditating
coup detat, although they maintain an
ominous silence in regard to their plans. They
are determined, il bonnets be small that the.
size shall not affect the price; for the trimmings
and materials of those fragile articles this
winter shall be of the richest and most elabo-
rate kind. The bonnet will no. be any larger
than before, but will make up in breadth what
it lacks in height and length. The high
priestesses of fashion announce also the most
extravagant kinds Of trimming on cloaks, and
where dresses are deficient in breadth they will
attach an extra train. The becoming short
dresses for the streets have taken fast hold on
tho minds of the ladies, and silk and satin will
no longer be used for street cleaning purposes.
In all these vagaries Of fashion there is one en-
couraging feature the American ladies are
gradually freeing themselves from the bonds
Of allegiance to Paris, and are awakening to
the knowledge that they are fully as compe-
tent to select styles and materials for dresses
themselves as the representatives, Of fashion In
that gay city. Nearly all the modes have to
undergo many changes here before they will
be adopted; 80 that in short time there will
be separate confederacy of fashion estab-
lished in this city. 1t is not very oreditable to
be obliged to copy from the dsreputable por-
ton Of the female world in Paris for fashions,
and the sooner our ladies assert their indie
pendence in this respect the better How
ever, LET not credulous husbands imagine that
the allowance Of pin monsy may be decreased
by the comparative smallness of the materials
in dresses which is now popular amoug the
ladies. The trimmings will more than COM
pensate for the difference In size; so that the
schedule of prices will remain unchanged, or
will, perhaps, be increased.

Flip-Flap Journal on Universai Amues
few months ago the Puritans Of the Tribune
were crying out Justify for universal amnesty.
In May last Greeley published furious mani
festo against the Union Leaguers, who had
threatened to expel him from their club for
hobnobbing with JEFF Davis at Richmond and
procuring his RELEASE on straw ball. in which
he declared that he would not rest conten.ed
until general amnesty should be extended to
the South and full pardon granted to every
former rebel The Tribune has now taken q
aip-fap over to the other side, and Is endeavor-
ing to prove that the President has no power
to grant pardon or amnesty to any person
engaged in the rebellion. To support its
new position the Tribune quotes section Of
the Supplementary Reconstruction act, which
says:-"No person shall at any time be entitled
Executive pardon or amnesty for any act or
thing which, without such pardon or amnesty,
would disqualify him from registration or
voting"
Now, this is precisely the point OF issue.
The constitution of the United States says that
prieves and pardons for offences against the
United States, except in cases Of impeach.
ment" II the Tribune will consult dicton-
airy it will nnd the following definition of the
word pardon" e To forgive to remit; as
an offence or crime. Guilt implies being
bound or subjected to censure, penalty or
punishment To pardon Is to give up this OBJ
legation and release the offender. We apply
the word to the crime or to the person. We
pardon an offence when we remove II from the
offender and consider him as not guilty. We
pardon the offender when we release or absolve
him from his liability to suffer punishment
The power to grant pardons icing a consti-
tutional right Of the President, no law Of Con-
grsss can deprive him OF 1t. To say that
pardon shall not release the offender from bis
" liability TO suffer punishment and from all
penalty for his offence, is absurd. The Presi-
dent can pardon q counterfeiter OF the United
States coin but how utterly nonsenscal aud
worthless would be law providing that such
pardon should not release the offender from
jail until his full term OF imprisonme at should
be exhausted or restore him to citizenship.
This issue, raised by the Tribune TO defeat
its former policy of general amnesty, shows
the necessity Of having military commanders

we live under constitution, and that any

Tho --latest Phase OF the European Dimculfy.
King William has not yet met in conference
with the princes OF South Germany. What
they may do, therefore, is asyet problematical.
Meanwhile, the results of the Salzburg Congress
are making themselves visible. Austria and
Prussia have jointly advised Denmark not to
insist on the retrocesson by Prussia Of Duppel
and Alsen. AT the same time we have 1t an
nounced that the South German States have
resolved 70 maintain their independence, unit
ing neither with Prussia on the one hand nor
with Austria on the other, but holding, If pos
sible, the balance CT power between them.
These two things must be taken together and
regarded as tae fruit of the Salzourg confer
ence.
1t is not 80 easy TO see what this joint move
ment means. Alsen and Duppel, by the terms
of the treaty Of Prague, were to be restored to
Denmark. Prussia, 1t Is well known, is most
anxious to retain them. For naval purposes
they are invaluable. 1t is difficult to see why
Denmark should consent permanently to part
with item, except on the ground Of promised
compensation. But where is the compensation
to be found? 1t Is not improbable, however,
that, Influenced by the advice thus rendered,
Denmark may yield, and, by this additional
concession, obtain possession Of North Schles-
wig. BY the acquisition Of Alsen and Duppel,
both Of them important naval positions, Prussia
will have additional facilities for branching
out as a great naval Power; but it may be
doubted whether she will, by any such means,
be induced to pause in her favorite work Of
German consolidation. The South German
States may resolve to maintain their independ-
enco and neutrality; France and Austria may
encourage, but will Prussia permit its
