Amnesty.

1t is now authoritativcly stated
that the President will not interfere
with the franchise under the Recon-
struction acts by any official exercise
of executive authority.
Tho practical effect of the Amnesty
proclamation then, will be to enable
all citizens embraced in this amnesty
to assert their prcrogativo before the
Courts of the country, if it is denied
thcm BY military authorities and their
agents, tho Registers of tho country.
Like all other civil or constitutions
al rights, 1t will be first determined
by adjudication and if admitted, then
enforced by tho executive power.
We would advise all parties not OK
cludcd in this proclamation to claim
tho right of registration, right con-
stitutionally theirs by virtue of par
don SO that they may the bcttor avail
themselves of any decision of the case
by judicial authority, and thc qucs.
,ion will certainly be tested some.

Death of Vim. A. Owens.

We copy tho following notice from
tho Florida Banner, published atOca-
la, Florida. Gen. Owens, was ma
tive of this District, from whence he
removed to Florida, several years
ago. Though never engaged in pub
lie life--Gcncral Ovens was useful
citizen, of largo influence, of high
character, and great popularity.
Our District cordially unitos with
his adopted State in lamcnting this
sudden termination Of an honorable
and patriotic life.
Truly has the cold hand Of death
been busy among our community OF
late. The echo Of the falling clols
upon the coffin lid of one has scarce
ceased to rcsound, ere the announces
mcnt that another has gone falls upon
our startled ears. Gen. VIM. "A.
Owens, a we'll known aud prominent
citizen Of our county, was stricken
down by the angel Of death on Satur-
day last, ut his residence in the conn-
ty, after a hricfillncss of but ~ few
days duration from an attack OF con
gestivc chills. Gen. Owens was a
man of large means and devoted him
self almost exclusively to tho man
agcmcnt of his estate.
Although never occupylrga prominent
position in public lie since his removal

brow is broad and high, and shadoweG
only by the brown hair, Which is brush
ed carelessly the eye grey, but full of
intelligence and sharpness, and accord
ing to the interest Of tho conversation,
flashes somewhat OF The Thought abou,
to be uttered. The face clean shaven,
is marked by strong lines Of character
to which a large nc G and mouth lend
no little expression. In dress. he is like
any other citizen, and his h sh officers

English journalism.

a london correspondent has htbe
following IN relation to one point h(
practical difference between English
and American journalism, to which
we made reference in recent arti.
Gle
In America it is customary among
journalists to place the name of the
editor 1T the head Of The paper. This
is not only not done here, but the ut.
! most care is taken hat the outside
pLb!'c shall know nothing whatever us
to who edits this or that journal
'rhas | doubt ifihrrc are hfv persons
IN London, outside of,'c literary men
ni the metropolis who know who write
the editorials Of Tie lending papers, or
who even manages them. The ini.
vidualily Of the editor is rarely or
never disclosed and all things con-
sidercd, feel satisfied lis The better
way. 1T serves TO prevent those per-
sonalities SO common in American j,ur
nalism, and gives n dignity to the
profession it could hardly otherwise
attain
TO see an editor of any leading paper
here yon must first have an appoints
nent with him by letter, and unless
your business is important, this is aol
easily obtained. You may 60 to the
Office Il thousand times and never once
gcr glimpse Of him unless this formal
i'v has first been gone through. And
this reminds me Of an incident which
happened al the Times Office the o,lcr
day 10 gentleman who came over with
me in the steamer, aud who had an i'm,
pcrtanL paper which he wlshcilto bring
to the notice of the Government. For
this purpose ho called at the Times Office
and asked It he could see the editor
The clerk in attendance asked if he ha,
an appointment with hlm. Oar friend
answered in tie negative, but that he
wished one. The cl"rl inquired h,s
business, and oar friend answered, tell
ing villa! he wanted. The clerk listen
ed, and then lanShingly remarked that
o,r friend evidently did not understand
the ncculiarilies Of English journalism,
or he would not have requested to see
the editor on business ike this. lie
never saw visitors on matters of this
kind aball, and never saw any ono un.
less by special appointment. Our friend
