WASHINGTON, Sept Z.
The President has instructed the heads of
departments to furnish each person hold
ing an appointment in their respective de-
partment with an official copy of the procla-
nation OF the 3rd inst, with directions to
observe strictly its requirements for an earn
est support of the Constitution and a faith
full execution of the la WIS which have been
made in pursuance thereof.
The President is said to be highly elated
with the Democratic victory in California,
and predicts similar result at the elections
in the Atlantic States. The latest returns
from there show a Democratic majority in
Legislature, thus cutting off all probability
OF Republican Senator to succeed Con
gress.

The Amnesty Proclamation.

The much talked of amnesty proclamation
was fully discussed in the Cabinet NEE ting

promulgated on Mondy next. Only five
classes of rebels will be excepted from its
operations These will be =
FSrst-All above the rank of brigadier in
the army and captain in the navy Of the
rebel States.
1second-All persons against whom pro-
ceedlngs have already been commenced,
under which will be included such as were
guilty of acts of piracy and cruelty to Union
prisoners.
Third-Persons who filled the positions
of President and Vice President of the rebel
States-to wit, Davis and Stephens.
Fou1th-All persons concerned in the as
sassination conspiracy.
FyM-All diplomatic agents of the rebel
government.
All other classes of rebels will be pardon
ed under the new amnesty proclamation
In fact, this will extend the benefits of
amnesty to ten classes excluded under the
proclamation of 1865. have this from a
source that leaves no doubt of its reliability.

Cen. Grant and the Convention.

The Sentinel, the rebel organ of Gov.
Worth, takes the following notice of Gen.
Grants letter to the late Republican Conven-
ton in this City:
are exceptions, and We have an honorable
we are led to believe, in the District Com
mander,) THAT the officers OF the army are
not merely politicians, but partizans. The
decentralization is so diffused, that many of
those who are highest in authority, and who
ought to set better example, are the most
conspicuous in the exhibition of their party
prejudices. Even Gen. Grant. in q letter &C
knowledging an invitation to be present at
the Jacobin Convention in this city, instead
of rebuking, or at least declining to notice
it, expresses his utmost thanks" therefor,
and pleads " business of an urgent nature"
as an excuse for non-attendance. And an
ex officer of the Federal army, who was
member of the late Convention, and who
made Radical speech in the affair of March
9th last, while in the army, boastingly pro-
claimed that il was told him (Gen. Grant,
in most emphatic terms, that it was Repub
lican State Convention" and that 1" it was
made to political Convention :" We deep
ly regret that it should have been his first;
and we hope, for the sake of the honor of
the army and the country, and of good ex-
ample, that it may be his last"
We are happy to have the Sentiners state
ment that Gen. Grant recognized the Con-
vention, thus showing that his sympathies
are with the Republican party. This is, of
itself, tower of strength to the Republican
cause
Neither the honor of the army or of the
country is in the keeping of such as the
Sentinel. The great soldier who wrote this
letter to the Convention is still what he was
when Lee surrendered to him, and when he
put up his sword with the hope that the
Union would be speedily reconstructed. He
fought for loyal cause, and he is still true
to that cause. 1t does not follow, however,
that he is partizan. There is but one Or
ganized political party in this country, to
wit, the Republican party; and Gen. Grant,
in standing by that party, is still on the side
of his country as he was at Vicksburg,
Pittsburg Landing and Petersburg.

take from it. We believe that every gem
tleman lwho is Republican, named by the
Register will stand by the platform and act
with the party; but if any one of them
should refuse to do so, and should assail the
party tor what it did or omitted to d" in the
late Convention. the loss will be his, and not
that of the party. We have not yet learned
that Mr.. Moore and Judge Fowle are Repub-
licans. The other gentlemen named by the
Register are avowed Republicans, and we
have no idea that any of them will abandon
the party as long as it stands fairly and
souarely on the reconstruction acts of Con-
gress.

The result of the California election
has taught the Union party both in New
York and throughout the country a whole
some lesson. 1t has taught us that we can
never afford either to indulge in family
quarrels or to nominate any other than un-
exceptionable men. Party chicanery was al
lowed in California to effect division in
our ranks, and the enemy rushed in at the
breach and beat us. Moreover, of the two
Republican candidates for Governor neither
had any real strength. The personal record
OF one was not clear; the other had no re-
cord at all. The Democratic candidate, on
the other hand, was gentleman of the high
est personal character. No wonder we were
beaten. Now let us take this lesson to heart,
and make no more wicked blunders.-M Y

DEBTS DUE FOR NEGRoEs.-Our readers
will be interested in the decision of the case
of Agnew vs. Bobo, just tried in the U. s.
Court at Greenville, S. G., Judge Bryan pre-
siding. 1t will be found in another column
According to the ruling of his Honor in
this case, debts created in the purchase of
slaves are good and will be enforced in the
Federal Courts. The warranty of the negro,
as slave for life, will not alter the case,
though he was emancipated by the war; be-
cause this was an event unforeseen by the
vendor, and for which he cannot be held re-
sponsible.
1t is also decided that the sequestration of
debts by the Confederate government, and
their payment to Receiver, does not release
the debtor from paying them to the creditor
These are important points, and if they are
sustained by the higher Courts, as they will
probably be, the effect upon personal liabili-
ties will be extensive.-tSalep Press.

The Amnesty Proclamation.

The following section of an act of Con-
gress passed July II, 1862, known as the
confscation act, is the authority upon which
rests the previous Amnesty proclamation of
President johnson. On the 4th of January.
1867, Congress repealed this section by
special act The New York Times calls at
tention to this, and says that if the Presi-
dent issues new proclamation in the face
of this action, it will be accepted as another
indication of his determination to override
the will of the people, as expressed through
Congress.

The Recent Fenian Convention al
Cleveland, Ohio.

The Recent FenIan Convention at
Cleveland, OHIO.
The sixth annual Congress of this rather
famous organization has just closed its de-
alterations in Cleveland, Ohio. The meet
ing was large, enthusiastic and harmonious.
There were twelve hundred delegates present
from Australia, England Ireland, the Cana
das and the United States. The address of
President Roberts was magnificent and
hopeful paper.
1t detailed Mr.. Roberts movements in
Europe, and contained suggestions for
the improvement of the Brotherhood
We are glad to learn from the Cleveland
journals, that this Irish Brotherhood came
out fairly and fearlessly for universal suf-
frage. A dispatch from five thousand col
ored soldiers of New Orleans, rendering
their muskets to the cause of Ireland, was
received with great enthusiasm.
An address was pronounced by a we'll
known Methodist Minister of Ohio, vindicat-
ing the liberal and truly noble objects of the
organization. The Reverend speaker had
occasion to refer to the gifted and patriotic
Sheridan, when the whole Convention rose
TO their feet, cheering and applauding for
several minutes the gallant rider of the
Valley. This wonderful change in the po-
litical opinions of our Irish fellow citizens
is significant, and augurs better and
brighter times for the race at home and in
America.

Carolina coast reports state that the rain
and worms have made great havoc in the
cotton crop. Georgia coast reports state
that the worm has only appeared on two
islands. The other islands expect fair
crop. The estimate of the island crop last
week was $4,000 bales. This week it is on
ly 10000. Rains continue, but reports from
the interior are good. Fair crops are ex-
pected of uplands. No new sea island cot
ton has been received yet.

VIEWS OF SENATORS SUMNER AND VII
soN AND GEN. BUTLER-A correspondent OF
the Roston A1uertiser has visited the public
men of their residences and gathered their
views ON the topics of the day. According
to this chronicler Senator Sumner, in speak
ino of General Grant as Secretary of War,
said there could be no military obligation
on a general to assume civil office. Grant
might have refused, and thrilled the country
to the confusion of the President and the re-
bells. But, while at the War Department,
Grant is, in certain sense, what Lord Der
berry called himself the other day, a stop
gag He at least prevents rebel from be-
ING thrust into the office" In regard to
General Grant aiming for the Presidency,
Mr.. Sumner said he did not know. Things
looked that way. His friend, Mr.. Wash
burne, who has just returned from Europe,
speaks of him as a candidate" But MIR. 5.
had been insisting on irreverslble guaran-
tees Our next President must be in him.
self an "irreversible guaranteed" Grant was
uncertain. In regard to Mr.. johnson Sum-
ner said =" With person of ordinary sense
and with heart, reconstruction would be
easy. The President is perverse, pig-headed
and brutal. His talent. such as it is, comes
from pugnacy. OF course he is a usurper and
a tyrant The wonder is that Congress did
not act accordingly long ago. Congress has
hesitated in its duty towards the President,
as it has in everything else. I have new
er doubted that the President would be i'm
peached."
Senator Wilson said, "The great mass of
the republican party believe that the Presi-
dent will be impeached, and that he deserves
impeachment" In regard to Grant, Wilson
stated his opinion that he had taken his Of
fee of Secretary of War for the sole purpose
of trying to do what good he can to the
country About the President, he said he
"would 60 by fits and starts in carrying out
any policy. In fact, he acts like fellow on
o bust who goes to sleep and wakes up,
breaks things, and then goes to sleep again,
and so on till he is sober In my idea he is
a foolish man, governed by gusts of passion
and temper; and he is a disappointed man,
because he really believed he was going to |
succeed. This has made him vindictive"
Gen. Butler said johnson lacks courage |
and capacity, and that impeachment is sure |
to come General Butler said the danger |
lest he should be influenced in judgment by |
dislike to the the man, for which said he
had so much cause, precluded him from
forming an opinion about Grant

Some of the rebels are ridiculing the late
Republican Convention because the hat was
handed round to raise money to defray ex-
penses. To this we reply, first, that if the
loyal men had even moiety of the bacon,
mules, wagons and cotton which were stolen
from the public during and at the close of
the rebellion, by certain Confederate and
State officials, they would have funds for all
purposes and to spare; and secondly, that
the Republicans of this State have wealthy
friends at Washington and at the North, and
are not likely to want funds to carry on the
campaign.

THE WHISKY Taxa radical change in
the manner of collecting the whisky revenue
tax will be recommended at the next session
of Congress, embracing a proposition to
dispense with the offices of inspectors, de-
tectives, &C., providing that each whisky
still shall be taxed to the amount of its
capacity. An inspector or gauger of stills
will be ordered to ascertain their capacity
after which the proprietors can obtain from
the collector Of the district license to run
them for week, month, or Year as they
choose to select, which license must be paid
for in advance. The cost of the license will,
OF course, amount to the present tax on the
manufactured article 1t is believed that by
this method the Government will be enabled
to collect three times as much tax as it now
does, aad will at the same time protect
honest distillers.
