troops committed the atrocities at Fort Pillow
which have been laid to their charge. LEAN.

sonal knowledge. He was himself shot down
after he had surrendered, and while ying up
on the field saw number of men deliberatel,
shot. All this occurred after the fort was in
entire possession of the Rebels, and after our
men had entirely ceased to offer resistance
These atrocities were renewed the follo,oiao
morning, when two unarmed, helpless wound

feet of where he was lying. He heard at the
same time firing going on all around the Fort
but these two murders occurred in his immedi

LAST YEAR President johnson pardoned up
wards of one hundred counterfeiters. The
Democratic papers blame Republican officials,
particularly Mr.. S. M. Clark, Chief of the
Treasury Printing Bureau, for the issue of du-
plicate seven-thirties. The fact itself remains
to be established, but if there has in fact been
any irregularity at the Treasury Department,
1T has been in the power of Mr.. johnson at all
times to bring them to a close by removing OF
suspendiug unworthy officials. But if, as
seems most probable, the counterfeits were ex-
ecnted independent -of the Department
the blame rests directly upon Mr.. johnson,
who has encouraged mischevous class of
criminals by his Wholesale clemency ..

of Shylock when the "wse young judges" de-

The Argus appears to have about as clear. a
notion of the real significance of Shylock's al
fusion as the painter who hit upon the expe-
dent of distinguishing Daniel from the lions
by putting green cotton umbrella under his
arm, had of the prophets personal appearance.
About once in three mouths for the last ten
years, the Argus enraged at the preternatural

The MILITARY Force Bill Passed.

The MILITARY FORCE BILL with the House
amendments, passed the Senate last night !;
and thus having received the sanction of both
Houses of Congress will be sent to the Presi-
dent for his approval, which, if itrcceiyes it,
will give it the force of law.
This bill we published in full few days ago ;
the only addition to the bill as then published
being the following which makes the 9th sec
ton ~ uza
''SEc 6. That until the people Of said rebel
States Shall be by law admitted to representa-
ton in the Congress Of the United States, any
civil governments which may exist therein
shall be deemed provisional only, and in all
respects subject to the paramount authority Of
the United States at any time to abolish, mod
ify, control, or supersede the same ); and in all
elections to any Office under such provisional
governments, all persons Shall be entitled to
vote, and none other, who are entitled to vote
under The provisions Of the filth section Of this
act; and no person shall be eligible to any
Office under any such provisional governments
who would be disqualified from holding Office
under the provisions Of the third article of said
constitutional amendment. .r

Mr. REvERDY JOHNSON, OF Maryland, in
the Senate yesterday, voted for the Military
Force Bill, after having for days past battlcd
against it, and its odious so-c4lled amendments,
and, to his credit, strenuously e1deavored to
defeat it. His reason for his vote is, this, in
his own words. After stating that he would,
if he had his own way, have the : outh repre-
sented in Congress, he said:
But I-have not my own way: ain obliged,
therefore, to acQulesce In the decision Ut the
majority of Congress- however erroneous or
unjust may believe that decsion4to be, pro-
gided I believe that it w;ll.end in com para
lively short time in restoring he Southern
States to the brotherhood OF States. | am
unwilling that this Congress shall adjourn with
out the adoption Of some measure that holds
out hope, however distant, that may be the
result of our deliberations; sni believing that
this will be done by the adoption of the meas
ure es it now stands before you, shall give II
my vote, not because | approve Of it in the ab-
stract or in the particulars, bur because think
| see in it mode OF resculng the country from
the perilous predicament in which it is DOW
placed. ~. s-ss.. .-.... .--..,
We do not doubt the ability, and have great
respect Tor the Judgment of Mr.. Johnson but
how he could have arrived a1 any such conclu-
sion passes our comprehension. Opposed as
he was to this odious measure, it is our opinion
that he should, for the sake Of consisten-
cy and justice, have recorded his vote against
it. He says be sees in the passage of this
bill "a mode Of rescuing the couotry from the
perilous predcameDtia which il, Is now placed. .
We hope his vision may be clear But he
really sees what appears to u, Is not to
be seen. . H..
