A paper which is opposed to the
Constitution, and is friend to all the
denominations of Congress, says "Sher
idan is receiving ovations at every
step of his journey from far Leaven-
worth TO Washington" So would
old John Brown, the assassin, thief,
and murderer, if he could leave the
internal regions long enough to fol
low Sheridan. And precisely the
same creatures who run after Sheri-
dan would run after old John Bro gn.

The "IATE LAMENrED. The peo-
pie are no doubt aware that President
Lincoln was the most expensive ruler
that ever accursod any nation. We
well knew that millions of dollars were
squandered upon favorites and in the
Presidential kitchen, but we did not
know that big dinners and suppers,
given by Lincoln & Co, were paid out
of the Treasury. But Mr.. Weed, a
celebrated loyalist, declares that one
dinner at the White House, in 1864
cost the Treasury nine hundred dollars.
He admits, however, that the claim
wasillegal, and could notbo paid when
presented, but that afterwards il ods
covered up in the Gardeners claim and
paid oa Of the Treasury The friends
Of the slate lamented," after robbing
the Treasury in this manner, should
not have also robbed the Presidential
Mansion Of all the furniture, carpets
and curtains.

GOVERNMENT SHIRTs.-If what 10y
Rlists now say of the late "Govern-
ment" is true, it was well supplied
with shirts. The editor OF the New
York Commercial states that Mrs.
Lincoln sold twelve of "old Abe's"
shirts before he was buried. These
precious jewels were no doubt secured
ns relics by those loyal ladies who so
frequently kissed the Government
while on earth.

HIGH LIFE.-We notice by the New
York papers that Mrs. Lincoln has
advertised for sale twenty-iour thou
sand dollars worth of silks, laces and
jswelry, for the purpose of raising
somepin money. This step has caused
quite hub-bub among her loyal
brokers, some Of whom have gone to
the trouble of ascertaining how much
money the Government family has
spent. 1t is boldly stated that the
presents received by tho Lincoln fam
lily, from shoddyites, contractors and
fools, amounted to oUsr four hundred
thousand dollars, besides one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars as
salary, and plundering the White
House and paying for dinners out Of
the public Treasury Yet all is gone.
No wonder we had an expensive "Gov-
ernment during the days of Father
Abraham.

THAT'S so.-The johnson men must
be in despair. They have sent to
Europe for General McClellan.-Hdl-
loloeU Gazette.
If so, it is not the first time that
the General has been sent for by men
in despair. After he had been de-
posed from the command, and was
living in retirement in Washington,
the army under Pope was terribly de-
ieated and driveg back upon the cap
ital. The troops were disheartened
the city in danger, and the victorious
rebels marching across Maryland
Then it was that the "men in despair" J"
with Lincoln at their head, vent TO
General McClellan's house, and begged
him TO take command and save
them He consented, the victories OF
South Mountain and Anlietam fol-
lowed, and Lee was driven back TO
Virginia. Then it was that Lincoln,
Stanton and the rest, plucked up cour-
age TO depose Mcclellan second
time, and give command to Hooker,
who went, as Pope had done, to a
terrible defeat We don't think there
is despair felt at Washington, but If
there should be, no better counsellor
can be found than General Mcclellan.

RGS" The more we reflect on the sub
iect the more evident does it appear that
the exceptions made by the President in
his amnesty proclamation were impolilic
: and unjust. And we cannot but feel all
the more that such Partially is unwise.
Never was there greater mistake made
than to suppose secession was the work
of Southern leaders, who we're therefore
more responsible than the people of the
South at large. The real initiative was
in New England, it began in the first
feeble agitations of the monomaniacs
there, whose consciences were particu'
larly tender as to the sins Of their neigh
bors. 1t was followed up by robbing
Southern travellers of their slaves which
the so.called league with hell and cove
nant with death allowed them to keep,
and who had been first sold to them by
the robbers; and still further by incen-
diary pamphlets and men, who en-.
dangered not only the property but
also the lives of the Southern people by
melting to violence and Instructions
and also by reflection on the extreme
meanness Of attempting, by secret, dis
guised and incendisry practices, what
might have been done to better purpose,
and at infinitely less cost, by offering to
pay fair equivalent for emancipation,
by a tax laid equally on all the property
of the country. By all those things was
the South embittered from year to year,
and led 10 feel universally, that, what
ever might be true as to the abstract
slavery question, there was no remedy |

R6~ 1t appears from the Mobile papers
that General Pope has sent instructions
to the Loyal Leagues to exclude negroes
from the Convention. The Conserva-
tives have always told the blacks that
there was no freedom in voting, when one
couldn't vote as he pleased for another,
of white or black color, as be chose; and
that when the Radicals had done using
them to get offices by their votes, they
would care no more for them, and throw
them of, and give them nothing. Is it
not so I Are not all their promises false !
What good have they ever done the
black mani They will never do any
thing for them except lot them vote, and
tell them what fine fellows they are, as
long as they vote for them. If ever they
vote for anybody else, they will take their
votes away. Ifthere is one green enough
to believe that they will be voters any
longer than they vote to please their new
Radical masters, he ought to be expelled
from the African league.
The coIored man is to be excluded by
the order of General Pope from sitting
in conventions in Alabama and in Geor-
gia which the Radicals told him was
expressly designed to secure to him his
rights and privileges under the Civil
Rights Bill What sort ofliberty is that
The new Radical masters making the

earnings and be happy, and let them vote

1t being demonstrated by the recent
elections that general political Fraction
is in progress, extending through the
country from side to side, we are con
tent TO take matters at the worst, and
make the result in Maine the standard of
our expectations We have not quite
carried the State; but if our gains in
the coming elections shall be as great
in proportion to the whole number of
votes cast as they have been in Maine,
we shall, even this fall, revolutionize the
politics Of the country. The same ratio
Of gain will give us New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey by great MAORI
ties also the new States of Nevada, Ne
braska and Colorado; and will recover
for us Ohio, Indiana, Oregon and New
Hampshire. These, with Connecticut
and California, already redeetAed, will
give us twelve Democratic States, con.
tanning a majority of the population now
represented in Congress, and enabling
us to elect twenty four Democratic Sen
ators when the terms of the present in
cumbents shall expire. This expecta-
ton does not rest upon fancy, but upon
reasoning; it merely assumes that the
reactionary tendencies will be as active
elsewhere as they have been in Maine.
Let but this be admitted and the rest is
arithmetic. 1t has all the certainty of
the rule of three.
Every conservative will be animated
in those States to work hopefully and
with renewed energy, while weak-kneed
and fence men will likely cast their
votes with the party which is coming
into favor As we are powerless here,
and everything depends on the.votes Of
the Northern States; we are pleased to
find continued reasons for a renewed ex-
preston of confidence that healthy
reaction is going on For good or evil,

that of the North ultimately, depend

Leaders in the South Responsibility OF
few men as compared with the rest,
where all were involved and led alike !
There is no rational ground for any such
distinction. The overpowering mass oil
the people we're Of one mind, and oil
observable and efficient influence was
one way. The heresy of the South as to
State rights had ample countenance in
The Northern States. However false OF
true we're Southern opinions, certainly
they we're honestly, and, with few dis
senting voices, entertained. All were
willing to be alike responsible. And,
in justice to the Southern people, we are
compelled to believe and say, that any
punishment visited on Mr.. Davis or any
other leader of the war for any of their
acts which had their appreciation, will be
felt as a puni.hment visited on them
selves. And since there is no more good
reason why one should suffer than another
where all have suffered already the most
unparalleled losses and calamities, we
can but believe it as much the part OF
sound wisdom and true policy to make
the amnesty universal, as it is that Of
magnanimiiy and mercy, which no hon.
orable mind or humane ruler will des-
pise. The true and statesmsnlike meas
ure Of amnesty and pacifcation is only
half completed while single exception
ia made against one Southern leader
And the wisest and best thing Mr.. John
