A Lady's Opinion OF "a Lady's Man


Mrs. Stephens, in her excellent
monthly magazine, gives certain class
of men, the like of whom are seen in
every community but ours, the benefit
of her opinion, as follows:
Our own private opinion of the
gladys man. is, that he is thoroughly
contemptible-a sert of the life hardly
worth thinking about-a nutshell
with the kernel wi thered up
handful of foam drifting over
the wine of life, something not al
together unpleasant 10 the fancy, but OF
no earthly use. A woman of sense
would as soon be put to sea in a man-of-
war made of shingles, or take up her
residence in card house, as dream OF
attaching herself TO lady killer.
Women worth the name are seldom
deceived into thinking our lady's man
the choicest specimen of his sex. What
ever the ignorance may be, womanly in
tuition must tell them that the men
who live for a great object, and
whose spirits are so firmly knit
that they are able to encoHnter
the storms of life-men whose depths
and warmth of feeling resemble the
powerful current of mighty river, and
not the pebbles on its surface, who il
they love, are never snitten by mere
beauty of form or features-that these
men are more worthy even of occupy.
ing their thoughts i'll idle moments
than the fops and men about
town with whose attentions they amuse
themselves. If we were to tell him
this, he would only laugh; he has nc
pride about him, although full of van
ity; and it matters not to him what We
may broadly affirm or quietly insinuate
Soft and delicate though ne be, be il
as impervious to ridicule as hod car
risr, and as regardless of honest con
tempt as q city Alderman. Were yor
to hand him this article, he would take
it to some social party, and read il
aloud in the most mellifiuous voice a:
an homage to his own attractions.

B6ys The President, it is said, is about
to issue new proclamation of amnesty.
Ii is we'll to be magnRnimous, but II does
not follow, even though the Herald as
serts it, that the Presidents pardon null
lifies the laws. The President may par
don so far as to absolve individual rebels
from punishment, but cannot remove the
disabilities imposed upon classes The
Reconstruction acts do not punish in the
accepted meaning of the term, but lay
down certain precautions and restric-
tions, and these disabilities the law ex-
pressly provides shall not be removed by
reason OF any Executive pardon. Mr.
johnson may proclaim universal am
nesty, but so long as reconstruction is
imperfect, the disqualifying clauses OF
the law will be enforced.-N Y. Tribune.
What are these disabilities but punish
ments2 If q man is forbidden to vote,
who was formerly entitled to do so, for
the reason that he has engaged in rebel
lion, is not this taking away the distin-
gushing. privilege of a freemana punish
nent2 And if the President may, by
pardon, exonerate all individuals of all
classes from punishment, why can he
not remove the disabilities imposed on
classes The Tribune articles are full
of skillfully drawn sophistries, and this
is one of them. No one preiends that
"the Presidents pardon nullifes the
laws" 1t is in pursuance of the SUI
preme law of the Constitution that elem
ency is extended by the Executive ;
where alone the right resides, which,
when exerted, no honest court will dis
regard. This is not nullifying, any
more than it is making, but enforcing
the laws. Who ever before pretended
the power of the President was linn
tied as to the removal of any dis
ability, penalty or suffering imposed on
conviction of crime2 And, if it was
competent for him to grant relief after
conyiction,is is not his power equally ample
before conviction 7 The wish is father ia
tho thought, on the part of the Tribune.
And Mr. Greeley knows that the merely
partizan affirmation he has made will
not bear tho light, while it will put
bubble in the mouth of the unblushing
malignant and soulless partisan. 1t is
not true that "the reconstruction acts dc
not punish in the accepted meaning o.
the term if taking a franchise, the
most sacred and inviolablo right of free
men, is a punishment. The law is void
to the extent it takes the pardoninE
power from the President, which is giver
by the Constitution, and there is not {
dishonest Judge in the land who dare
affirm otherwise.

nA. The President having affirmed
that the Constitution is still in force and
appealed to its provisions and authority
in his late proclamation, the Nashville
Gazette says.
This assurance is timely. With our
present surroundings it was certainly
needed. Thad. Stevens has told us that
Congress is acting outside of the Con-
stitution," and we have seen Johnson
executing acts which he himself has de-
clared to be fragrant violations of that
instrument Twas understood, of course,
that oil United States officers were sworn
to maintain the supreme law; but in
these days Of perjury, such oaths were OF
little import. Twas natural that
people supposed the magma chdrtd OF
our liberties to be no longer In
force. The present official vindcation
of that old document WAS needed to set
us Alright. We hope that the President 3
statement is correctl If so, the Radical
scheme of reconstruction . becomes
usurpdtion, by the copfession of ThHd.
Stevens himself If so, Johnson s
"policy" heretofore has been bluEder-
ing misapprehepsion. He must change
front, order the Satanic host to the rear,
and repudiate their unconstitutional
enactments
The announcement that the Constitu'
tion still lives, is gratifying. Let us hope
that it lives elsewhere than on paper !
1t has existed in that torpid state long
enough. Let the President prove by
works the faith that is in him. Let him
wipe out this reconstruction abominatIon
that is converting the sunny South into
another St Domingo. In what sense
does the Constitution live, if it does not
live for Virginia, that proud mother OF
States, whose son James Madison gave
it shape and being1 In what sense
does it live, while the Carollnas and
Georgia, whose sons helped frame. 1t,

pots In what sense does it live while

BeA. A general proslration of business
exists in California. A San Francisco
paper says towns and "villages are being
depopulated throughout the State,
country houses are left unoccupied,
fields are untitled, ranches deserted,
fences broken down, yinyards and
orchards upturned, stores closed, and
impending ruin hangs over all. p" No
cause is assigned for all this except the
enormous taxes imposed by the govern
ment. And hence, perhaps, it is that
California has swung into the Conserya'
tive ranks, and relieved herself of the
political domination of the party whose
rule or ruin policy has burthened the
country with oppressive taxation, and
paralyzed the resources aud energies
Of every State beyond as we'll as this side
Of the Rocky Mountains.
