The Amnesty Proclamation Issued at
Last.

AS an appropriate act says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, to commemorate the
ninety-second anniversary Of our Ma
tional Independence, we have the
Proclamation of the President, grant
ing full pardon and amnesty from the
penalties of treason, to all persons di-
rectly or indirectly engaged IN the re-
bellion, reinvesting them with pOlit-
ical privileges, and restoring to them
their property, exclusive ofslaves, on
ly excepting those cases In which
property has been legally divested. or
parties that are under Indictment for
the offense of treason in courts of
competent Jurisdiction 1t is docu-
ment which, though long postponed,
is worthy of the age of Christian en-
lightenment in which we live, and
carries With it, in the spirit which it
breathes through its preamble, its oVn
defense against the political bitterness
with which it may be assailed, and
which would keep alive, long after
the war itself had ended the sectional
and partizsn haireds by which it was
engendered.

Negro Clerks IN the q. 5. Senate.

Senator Conness, Chairman of the
Committee on Mines and Mining, has
appointed a negro clerk to his com
mittee at salary of $4,000 a year
This fellow will have almost nothing
to do, and the appointment has been
made for the express purpose OF fur
nishing full recognition of the doc
trine of equality. The Radicals in
Congress are not afraid to illustrate
their doctrine by their works. If the
white men of Pennsylvania desire to
see the system progress to complete
fulfillment, let them vote for Grant
or for Radical Congressman and they
will be speedily gratif1ed.

INTERESTING TO BANRRUPTs.-
The Bankrupt Act has been amended
so as to extend the time to January
lst, 1869, for bankrupts to take the
benefit of its provision who are not
able to pay fifty cents on the dollar.
After that date bankrupt must pro-
cure the consent Of majority of his
creditors if he should be unable to pay
fifty per cent. The date under the
present law is the 1st OF June.

The several States composing the United

title of Constitution for the United States,
Asd of amendments thereto, they constituted
General Government for special purpose
delegated to that Government certain def
Aite powers, reserVing, each State to itself,
the residu-y mass of right to their self-gOv-
fsrnment and whenever the General Govern
Jsent assumes undelegsted power, its acts are
unautaoritaiive, void, and of no force; to
this compact each State acceded as State,
and Is an integral party, its co-States form

inent created by this compact was not made
the exclusive or final judge of the extent of

GENERAL GRANTS letter of accep-
taAce to Gen. Hawley is queer doc
ument. He begins by saying lit
seems proper" that he should "give
some statement of his views, beyond
the acceptance of the Domination"-
but he does not do it f! and not once
does he allude to the Constitution of
the county, nor recognize its exist
ence. His promise to ''obey the will
OF the people," is rather indefinite. -
The people have expressed their will
in the organic law, and If he should
happen to be elected President, they
have provided he shall take solemn
oath to obey that until their will shall
have changed its terms. No military
man should be trusted with such great
power on SO flImsy a promise as to
respect the public will" That is
what Napoleon says he Is doing.
