How the Ready Relief Acts /!

In few minutes the patient viii feel slight
tineling irritation, aud the skin becomes red
dened; ifthere is much distress in the stomach,
the Relief will assist nature in removing the
offending cause,--a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body and its difGsive
stimulating properties rapidly courses through
every vein and tissue of the system, arousing the
slothful and partially paralyzed glands and
organs to renewed and healthy action, perspira-
ton follows, and the surface of the body feels
increased heal. The sickness at stomach, colds,
chills, headache, oppressed breathing the sore
ness Of the throat, and all pains, either inter
nally or externally, rapidly subside, and the pa
tient falls into tranquil sleep, awakes refresh
ed, invigerated, cured.
1t will be found that in using the Relief en-
ternally, either on the spine or across the kid
neys, or over the stomach and bowels, that for
several days after pleasing warmth will be
felt, showing the length of time it continues its
influence over the diseased parts.

FINfL AMNESTY-JEFF. DAVIS.

President Johnson's Christmas Proclamation
OF Universal Amnesty excites little interest
and prOvokes few remarks. We rejoice that
the very man who was most vehement and
yociferous in proclaiming that treason is n
"crme, and traitors must be punished when
Lincoln's murder had set the country wild
for vengeance, now fathers the most sweeping
Amnesty ever pronounced by man. In 30
far as lie may have sought or wished
to disturb the foundations OF RccOnstruc-
ton as enacted by Congress, his Procla-
nation can have no legal force otherwise, wo
presume it will take full effect. If any of tho
leading Rebels have thus far remained abroad
from apprehension that they would be prose-
cuted OF otherwise moested if they came home,
they will soon be among us. We doubt that
they are so many as twenty in all.
We seldom of late find decent excuse for
praising Andrew johnson; but we thank him
for putting an end, even thus tardy to tho
swindling legal farce, enacted every few
months, under the deceitful title of Trial Of
"JefP. Davis" swindle by which nobody is
duped-a farce at which nobody thinks OF
aughing-must have Outlived its day. Now.
there has been no intelligent person deceived,
for at least two years back, by the pretenso
OF keeping Davis in confinement or hold
ing him to bail, as though it were in
tended that he should be put on trial for
his life For time, there was some such ex-
pectation and the good -natured public thought it
rather nice thing to spend 100000 or SO per an
mum to keep him safe in Fortress Monroe till the
day of trial should arrive. But he who does not
know that trials for treason must be brought
on while treason is still rampant and perilous,
or very soon after its collapse, else con-
vicion is impossible, cannot have read
many volumes of history We doubt
that it was ever possible to convict
Davis of treason in civil court, unless by ex-
cluding every active Democrat from the jury
box. Judge Underwood, who would have re-
joiced to try him with tolerable chance OF
success, testified before Committee Of Con.
gress nhat no verdict could be obtained against
him in Virginia unless the jury were packed
for tho purpose-whiCh ia undoubtedly true.
