IF Conrgess Ever Convenes."

Some days ago the confidential organ
of the President, the Washington Con-
sta,aionaI Union, published a commun!-
cation from one Of its readers and dlsci-
pies, in which occurred the suggestive
clause which we have used as a caption.
The Missouri Democrat replies to this
threatening insinuation as follows:
"If Congress ever eenvenes;" 1t VIII
convene, though the streets Of Washing
ton should run with blood. We trust 1t
will not waste three days in performing
" duty too long delayed. We trust that
this long struggle may be ended peace
fully, Justly, and in accordance with law,
by the removal of the only obstacle to a
speedy and safe reconstruction. But 1T
can no longer be denied that there IS
danger. Mr.. Johnson has power to DO
mischief. His position is desperate =
And so if reconstruction shoaid pG 4e-

The km-esty Proclamation.

This document, about which so much
has bcen said in advance, has at length
made It's appearance, and will be found
in tie present number. Its tenor and
design have been SO freely allude4 to,
shat its character occasions little surprise.
We may perhaps allude to the Psegress
Of this amnesty business, in order to un-
derstand more clearly its present posture
aNd' position
In July, 1862, Congress empowered
President Lincoln to pardon rebels as he
mioht deem it expedient for the public
welfare. Under this authority the Pres
ident issued two proclamations one,
December sth. 1868, and the other, March
goth, 1864. Acting under the same a'i-
thoritv, President johnson issEed an sd~
ditionaI one OH the 2gth of May, 1865,
This parloning power was formally re-
pealed by the House of Representatives
in December, 1866, and the Senate did
the same the following Eaontb- This
repeal was not s5gned by the President,
but became Erw by its not being re-
turned tc the House within ten days.
The first amnesty proclamation except
ed fourteen different classes of persons,
viz: Civil and diplomatic officers and
foreign agents of the Confederate Gov

left judicial stations under the United
States, to aid the rebellion, officers of the
army or navy who rendered their resig-
nations to avoid duty in suppressing the
rebellion, military and naval officers OF
the Confederacy who were educated at
West Point or Annapolis, all persons
who treated unlawfully our prisoners OF

pose of aiding the rebellion, privateers
the Canada raiders, persons pm custody

TnE SITUATION. There is now little

had hard words, and that it is the lnten-
tion of the President to dispIace General
Grant from the war office in few days.
Who his successor is to be is unknown
as yet, but there 10 ore' report winch
seems based on better authority than
mere speculation, to the effect that Gen.
Mcclellan has, Been sent for, and will
take the position Immediately upon his
arrival. 1t seems hardly credible that
SO dead men should be galvanized into
life for this purpose, but Mcclellan is
popular in the south-his. style Of fight

haps thought by Mr.. Johnson that as an
obstruction to the war while in COM

standard bearer of the peace Democracy
has as gooda hold, on the
