Reconstruction an Antiaofe to s,..-
i2Cnchncnf.

There are now strong indications
that the radicals in Congress will
abandon any further prosecution of
their warfare against the President.
III case th latter shall faithfully exc
cute the new reconstruction law.
The Impeachment project will turn
upon that point. The feeling in
Che recent caucus was decidedly
against the Butler policy. and there
is reason to believe that the extreme
step viii cot be taken unless the
President shall DO something to
seemingly warrant it. The prompt
proclamation of the new law, by the
State Department, may be regarded
! as evidence that the President has
determined to strictly enforce it,.
Some o. Tie Southern journals have
expressed the hope that he would
refuse 70 10 50. but he is compelled
by his cath OF Office to enforce all
1he laws, and can make 40 exception,
10 matter what lis personal feelings
nay lie. We are inclined to think,
however. that the President is less
opposed to the reconstruction bill
th"n Is implied by the tenor of lis
veto. ii he We're particularly ambi-
tlons to extend his power, he scer-
tain y would not be 10th TO carry ont
the provisions of the bill. for it con-
ters upon him extraordinary powers,
and practically makes him dictator,
50 far as the South is concerned.
He Is the head Of the military depart
mens. and the reconstruction bill
invests the military with entire con-
trol over the affairs of the Southern
States. His power under the new
law Will be us extensive as it was at
the close OF the rebellion, when
martial law was supreme over the
whole South. He vetoed the bill be-
cause he was obliged to 10 so for
the sake OF consistency, but there
are circumstances leading to the be
lief that he was quite willing to have
the measure become u law. We be-
leve that Heverdy Johnson express
ed the sentiments of his Presiden-
tlal name-sake, when he declared
himself in favor Of the bill, on the
ground that it was the best the South
could get. The President is now
relieved of all accountability for the
consequence OF the measure. He
has officially declared his opposition
to ltas a matter OF principle, but
rs 4 matter of law and fact he may
not he 50 much opposed 10 it. The
proposal to adjourn Congress until
May is probably made with tie OBJ
lect o. giving time for the President
to ShoA whether he intends to exc
cute the law III good faith OF not.
Ii he shall 1T once proceed to enforce
i. thereby convincing the radicals
that ne IS acting il good faith, the
Impeachment movement will proba-
bly, not come 20 = trial, and the
dream ot Butler will not be realized.

system. the New York JouyzlM OF
Co,amerce remarks: Unless some re-
cosnlzed system is soon adopted, it
will be too late to prevent financial
storm, that will sweep with cruel
blight over all the land. If we were
seeking for political revolution, we
should say that such a crisis could
come none too soon; but not even to
open the eyes of the people to the
fearful dangers impending from radi-
cal legislation, would we willingly
invoke the tempest that must wreck
so many fortunes.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Tiie fol-
lowing /, from a letter dated Vera
Cruz. February 30, and received at
the Mexican Legation IN Washington
General Porhrio Diaz has thrown Il
part Of his army between Mexico aa0
Peubla, and TIE communication is
now very irregular. For ten davs
past, We have received no mails from
anywhere West OF Orizaba. The tele-
graph lines are cut. The French left
Puebla on the 10th instant. and .
rnmor Is IN circulation here that Gen.
Diaz has captured that city. The
lmperlahsts report that they have
|. obtained two victories over the L;be-
rals-one against Corona, at Aten-
1uque, and the other against Cara
vaJal: at Guanajuato. Nervlittie credit
IS given here to the runors. and they
are thought to be circulated by the
lmperialists to keep up the spirit Of
their men, who are becoming more
demcralized every day.
1t seems that, on the 10Th ultir,o
Marquee and Maximilian left the CITY
OF Mexico. for the interior, with i, 600
men. The general impression seems
to be that the object is to reach the
coast; others, however, believe that
Maxlnillan IS going to capitulate to
Juarez, or to see whether an arnlistice
can be had for the purpose Of con-
sultlng the people Nobody, Of

Amnesty-Pardon.

From The ". Y. Tribune
The StaatS Zeitang labors heavily to turn
the flank OF the act of Congress which ex-
pressly prescribes the qualifications of voters in
reoOnstructing the Rebel States, and which as
expressly prescribes that no amnesty or par
don by the President shall operate to enfran-
chise those who are thus precluded from
voting because of their conspicuous part in
the late Rebellion. To this end, it desperately
quotes Alexander Hamilton in the Fs3eyol.,
as saying that
