could not be cured. Invent to San Francisco. and
while waiting for ship called on Dr., Bourne,
who stated that q trip TO the Islands would
probably result dsastrously, and was unnecessary
as could be speedily cured at his establishment.

week was so much improved thought could risk
returning home and do my duty us engineer on
the Central Pacific Railroad. The Doctor object
ed, but thought knew better, and returned to
duty In about two weeks my cough returned,
and kept getting worse. and contrary to Dr..
Bournes Injunction, never to take medicines a.
gain committed that folly. and soon was so com.
pctcly run down that could scarcely walk SO
as a last resort, l concluded once more to try the
water cure. went to San Francisco, few OF my
friends expecting me to return; in fact thought
my return doubtful. On arriving ut DR.. Bournes

weeks, and find am gaining every day, and at

Persons visiting the Doctors establishment find it
Just what it should be, both in the ladies and gen.

in praise OF the Doctors kind attention TO his pa

A WAY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT.-Tht
Detroit Free Press recommends the following
as The best way to pay the national debt and
bring about restoration and peace to the whole
country
"put the thieves out of office, and put
honest men in. Rotrench the expenditures
of the Government TO $lO0,0O0,000. Cut
the Freedmens Bureau sSindle from tic
Treasury, End thus save millions to the peo'
pie. If the negroes are fit to vote, they ar
competent to sustain themselves. Take the
military forces from, the South, and muster
them out OF service, and leave the people there
to reconstruct themselves, as they were &C.
ing before Congress interfered, and put them
further from the Uu;on than they were ever
before. Cut eff the myriads Of parasites now
hsngi1g upon the Treasury. Retrench ex'
penditures until the income largely exceeds
tie outgo. Apply the surplus 70 the payment
the national debt, and the whole question
will be answered"

Effect of the Amnesty.

We have already intimated our belief that
the proclamation ct the President would re-
move all disabilities from that class heretofore
prescribed for participation in the rebellion.
That all persons to whom the provisions Of
the amnesty extend, are thereby enfranehised,
and have the right to vote at all future cleo
ions, there can be no doubt. This opinion is
sustained By the National Iatelligencer, the
organ of the President. Italways speaks BY
the card, and its opinions are the reflex OF
those of the President and Cabinet. Wce ex-
tract the following significant paragraph from
its article on the effect of the amnesty proc
lamation:
"Drring tie deliberations of the Cabinet.
yesterday, it is understood that it became evi.
dent that, in the opinion of every member
present, the legal effect Of the contemplated
amnesty proclamation would be to relieve all
persons included within its terms from all
disqualification, as we'll as all penalties in
CARED by their conplicity in the late rebel
lion, and, of course, ESQ lar as the ACTION Of
the General Government 10 conce -ned.) from
disability as to the exercise of the right of
suffrage. We may, therefore, congratulate
the country upon the prospect Of a speedy
settlement of all our difficulties upon princi-
pes couformable to the Constitution, and in
harmony with our republican form of Govern
mant. That such will be its effect, no sound
lawyer cntertains doubt, n':r is it TO DE pre-
sumed that it will be seriously denied by any
considerable number Of respectable men Of
the radical party in Or out of Congress"
In view of this semi-ofFicial opinion, it is
the duty of every Southern man to subscribe
to the oath specified in the proclamation,
which is made condition precedent to the
reception of the benefits of the amnesty
