WHAT A LAWLEsS CONGRESS MAY DO.
Attorney General Stanbery, in his speech
on Monday. drew the following sketch Of
what Congress may do. when il desre.
CARDS obligations and paths, and riuts in
iawlessness:
"My learned friend, who first addressed
your honors, SAID that we cannot be de-
stroyed as people, or as a Govcrn,ne nj,

Court cannot touch, BY proceedings that
this court cannot resist, plunge Us into
wars that will destroy Us. or, IN our do
mestic policy. altogether break up our in
situations.
To be sure. il would be all wrong, il
would be the assumption OF uncnnstilution.

mold expenses, we publish the follow
ing information which may be of use
to careful housekccpcrs. Since the
discovery of the oil fields of Pcnnsyl-
vania and Virginia, kerosine has
gradually superseded the use of gas,
and there arc few families who de-
pend solely on the latter for a light.
Iho chcapncss of the kerosene, and
the clear light furnished by it, at once
recommends it to the public but
some inventive genius has recently dis.
covered that salt is great improve
ment, and by filling q lamp half full of
common salt, clearer flame, and a
saving of twenty-five per cent in oil is
obtained. This has been tested by
some parties who concur in the state
ment m, of the inventor, and use of salt.
Inc experiment is simple, and the ma
terlal is within reach Of every one, wc
snail soon expect to sec revolution in
the oil business.

The South Defended.

a correspondent of the South Caro-
lima Bapt'st, writing from Chicago,
where tho was attending II large meet
ing Of tho Baptists from ths North
and Northwest, relates the following
incident:
In the meeting this afternoon some
remarks were made hy DR.. N. Colyer,
who is trying to establish high
school for the colorcl people, at Beau
fort, S. G. I'm his speech, he said
that tho Southern people were oppos-
ed to the education of tho negroes.
Aftor he had finished his remarks, j.
X. Graves, Of Tcnncssec, rose, and
said tho last speaker had done injus-
ticc to the South. Brother Graves
then asked permission to read some
resolutions passed by the Southern
baptist Convention, at Memphis, en-.
couraging the education Of the freed
people. This privilege was granted ,and
the resolutions were read, which caus-
cd general applause.

tho United States does not declare what

tho Limitation that corruption of blood

w. Congress in the exercise of its power

qucnce OF conviction, the penalty of death
or Imprisonment, and the mnnuGiission Of
slaves owned by the party, and to the dis
q" 'ihcntlon from holding any ofico under

What does the Constitution say as to par
aohs In language equally as plain and
emphatic, it declares, "rhe President shall
have the power to grant roprieves and par
dons Tor all oHcnscs against the United
states, except in cases OF Impeachment"
PRESIDENT Lincoln issued n pardon TO
nearly every one who had been engaged i'm
hosiliities against the United States i'm his
proclamation. After the surrender Of Gen,
Lee, President Johnston issued, an aa,ae,ty
proclamation, granting pardon TO all those
who had engaged in the late rebellion, so
soon as they would take the oath Of allc.
glance, excepting fourteen classes of per
sons therein set fourth. SO caoh and every
person who did not como under the four

ciai pardons, to persons who camo within
the fourteen classcs, have been granted
and with pardon. all punishment for past
offences is at an end, so fur as confsoation
is concerned.
Mr. Editor, these are facts, and any person
can draw his own Inference. will venture
to assert. and believe it is beyond contra.
dIcti"n, that by pardon under the amnesty
proclamation, consulnmrtcd by taking the
oath OF Allegiance, anu by pardon specially
granted. that there is not one person in

offences can be ooniiscated. ur-

Coyn-Tho Wheat Orop,

Wagons loaded With corn, arc still
rolling through our streets. The
amount Of corn shipped to this place,
since tho first of February, to supply
the deficiency of last years crop in the
District, can hardly fall short of 25,-
600 bushels. Tho most of this has,
probably, been paid for. This vast
sum Of money has been sent out of tho
District, for the profit which remains
in tho merchants hands is not much,
1t is not missing tho fact far, wo
think, to say that this year there is un-
der cultivation in Fairfield District
two acres of cotton for every one of
corn. Pity it was no the reverse.
Tho wheat crop is soon to be gath
cred, and it is {, splendid ono to all
appearance. But in tho absence of
enough corn to s'run" tho farms until
the novt corn harvest, the whoat for
bread will but Il moderate crop, as tho
stock will very likely bo fed upon the
