On the 4th inst. the United States Sen
ate repealed, by vote of 81 to 7.Vthe 18th
section of the confscation act which author
lied the President to grant general amnes-
ty. On the pending question, the amend
ment of Mr.. Salisbury, of Delaware, to re-
peal the entire act instead of the 18th sec
ton, Hon. Reverdy johnson, of Maryland
was entitled to the floor, and made an able
speech on the subject, from which we make
the following extract:
He said he had advised the Executive
to issue general proclamation of amnesty,
and had endcavored, so far as he is able, to
bring it about, but the Executive had not
seen proper to do So Some of the first ju-
rists of the country, some of them members
of the Republican party and some of the
best jurists of England, had expressed the
opinion that the moment belligerent rights
were granted, the commission of treason WAS
impossible. If this point were bought before
the Supreme Court, what their decision would
be he could not say. But on the other point,
the right of a State to sccede, he did not
doubt for one moment that it would decide
there was no right No proclamation of am
nesty had been issued, and no trials for trea-
son had taken place. The first was due to
the President; the latter was not his fault.
A man of delicate frame was now held inn
INJURED i'll prison who had been called to pre-.
side over their destinies by over 6,000,000
of people. Had this thing happened in any
other country, it would have been described
as an act of extreme cruelty.
Mr.. Howard said that the opinion of the
law officer of MIR. johnson had prevented the
trial of Davis taking place.
Mr. johnson said he was ready to be de-
liyered up to the marshal of the court au-
thorized to try him. The prisoner had Pc
titioned for trial, but the court, in whose
circuit he was, refused to receive him, on the
ground that he could not be held in custody.
1t had also been said that the Chief Justice
could not preside, because Congress had
changed the circuit. He said no matter
whose fault it was, it was a blot on American
civilization that the prisoner was retained,
and that if, in his delicate state, he should
die, the nation would be responsible for his
death. Had he (Johnson) been President,
he should have paroled him long since"

o tears, yo rivulets that flow profuse
Forth from the fountains of perennial love,
Love. sympathy, and sorrow those pure springs
yelling in secret up from lower depths
Than couch beneath the everlasting hills;
Ye shoa that from the C c'oud of mercy fall
In drops Of tender grief you invoke,
For in your gentleness there lies spell
Mighter than arms or bolted chains OF iron.
When floating by the reedy banks Of Nile
A babe of more than human beauty wspt,
We're not the innocent dews upon its cheeks
A link in Gods great counselsi Who knows
not
The loves Of David and young Jonathan,
When in unwilling rivalry of hearts
The son of Jesse won Dobler wreath
Than garlands puck'd in war and dipp'd In
blood,
And haply she, who wash'd her Saviour feet
With the soft rain of penitence,
And wiped them with her tangled ticsses, gave
A coster sacrifice than Solomon,
What time he slew myriads Of sheep and kline,
And poured upon the bra1en altar forth
Rivers of fragrant oil. In Peters woe,
Bitterly weeping in the darken'd street,
Love wells his ia The traitor shed no tear.
But Magdalenc gushing grief is fresh
In memory Of us all, as when 1t drench'd
The cold stone of the sepulchre. Paul wept,
And by the droppings of his heart subdued
Strong men by all his massive arguments
Unvanquish d. And the loved Evangelist
wept, though in heaven, that none in heaven
were found
Worthy to loose the Apocalyptic seals.
No holy tear is lost None idly sinks

Into his cruise and writes them in his book;

The evening shadows fall athwart mankind.
Thus hath it always been. Blind and bereft
The minstrel of an Eden lost explored
Things all invisible to mortal eyes
And he, WHO touch'd with a true poets hand

He wept beside the grave of Lazarus;

For ever sacred, since in human grief

pause here to explain briefly that in
the declaration that Tambobamba was
exempt from the universal tropical curse
of insect pest. l had forgotten to add
that the suburb Of Villa Almendral, sin
gular as il may seem, is an exception to
the rule-swarming, as have already
stated in the sketch descriptive of that
suburban city Of palaces and novels, with
flies, feas, baga, biche, ticks, tarantulas,
and all the legions of of atomic insects
inimical to humanity.
A legend is current that when the GOOD
old padre banished all the reptiles and
noisome insects from Tambobamba. there
dwelt at tn, Almendral an old Inca magi
clan T wonderous power, who like the
magic lans of Egypt in their rivalry of
Moses, might, befriending the banished
bugs and creeping things ealing them
to the Almendral, so many as cou'd find
fOothold, until ground AMI vegetation
were covered, and every hut, hollow,
chink and corner was crowded with
atomic outcasts, to whom the awful old
Inca gave asylum so secure that the ut
most efforts and exorcsms of the good old
benedictine were powerless to expcl them,
and ever since the annoying pests have
swarmed in countless millions, legitimate
inhabitants of Almendral, close compan.

Having taken our departure from Tam
bIbamba Mt sunrise, towards mid day and
at the distance of about six leagues, going
IN direction nearly northwest towards
Apacucho, we came obliquely upon the
ancient road, a portion of the once mag
nlficent system Of Peruvian highways,
claimed by the traditions of the country
to have been completed and in use long
before the erection Of the mighty sun
temples at Cuzco, Tumhez and Lake
Titticacar The great national thorough
fare, of which this particular portion is in
a better state of preservation than any
other in the country, made one leg of an
equllateral triangle, connecting the cities
OF Cuzco, Tambobam5a and Ayacucho,

as the city of the great sun temple and

third made notorious by the great battle
between the armies of old Spain and the
Patriots under Don Simon Bolivar the
Liberator in 1924. 1t was this desperate
conflict that terminated the vice royal
rule OF Spain and made her South Amer
ican provinces of the West Coast inie-

countered portions of the great thorough

other instance had we found evidence of

WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO FOR NOrIIING.
The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper, without paying for it. My
observation enables ME to state as a fact
that publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than anv other class o!
men in the United States who invest an
equal amount oflabor, capital and thought
They are expected TO do more service for
les, pay, to stand more sponging and
"dead heading" to puff and defend more
people without fee or hope ofreward than
any other class.
They credit wider and longer, get
oftener cheated. suffer more pecuniary
loss, are oftcner the victims of misplaced
confidence than any other calling in the
community. People pay printers bill
with more reluctance than any other. 1t
goes harder with them to expend dollar
on valuable newspaper than ten on a
needless gewgaw; yet everybody avails
himself OF the use of the editors pen and
the printers ink.
How many professions and political
regulations and fortunes have been made
and sustained by the friendly though un-
requitted pen OF the editor How many
embryo towns and cities have been
brought into n,lice and pulled into pros
perity by the pressi How many railroads,
now in successful operation, would have
foundered but for the "lever that moves
the world p In short, what branch OF
industry and activity has not been pro-
NOTED, stimulated and defended by the
press
And who has rendered il more than a
miserable pittance for its service The
bazaars of fashion and the haunts of dis
sipation and appetite are thronged with an
eager crowed bearing gold in their palms,
and the commodities there vended are sold
at enormous profits, though inirinsically
worthless. and paid for with scrupulous
punctualiiy while the counting room of
the newspaper is the seat of jewing, cheap
enlng trade, orders and pennies 1t is
made point of honor TO lqudatc grog
bill, but not Of dishonor to repudate a
printers bill.
