JAIL DELIVERY.

Andy has violated Christmas, and
Ill its traditions, BY issuing = procla-
nation yesterday, declaring gem
eral Jail delivery for all offenses, re-
mote or direct, connected with the
rebellion. 1
] Since by his base trucking TO the
rebel leaders, and decentralization of
4 portion Of the Supreme Court, it
has become apparently impossible to
copvict Jefferson Davis or any Of his
confederates for the awful crimes Of
delnging the land with fraternal
blood, we hail with pleasure the is
sning Of this proclamation, which
will rid us ct once of this whole mis-
erahle business.
Reading this last illumination Of
the Tennesses demagogue, in juxta-
position with his frothy fire anu blood
productions At the Commencement of
his reign, wherein he demanded
"hemp for the leaders that "treasont
should be mads oAioas' and straite1e
hung - high IS Haman" is the ST
gest illustration Of the treachery Of
his character that could be given.
The procla nation wiIh all its snivl
cling protestations about amnesty
and peace, il but bid for the votes,
and support Of these pardoned rebels
ID future con6iots; since by his
treachery, he has forfeited the conf
dence and respec. Of the loyal people

A FLooD OF ESocH ARpENs.-,rhe
Enoch Arden business is being done
to death. The papers are full Of ca
ses headed "Anothcr Enoch Arden
ssEnoch Arden in Real Life," "Enoch
Arden Outdone." By this time ev-
erybody knows the story OF Enoch
Arden. Briefly, aEne'' went away
from home, and was gone longer
than he expected to be. His wife gof
lonesome and married another man.
When ssEnep came back he found she
was enjoying herself-sos he settled
down in an adjacent poorhouse and
didn't interfere. This was hand
some thing to do, and Tennyson
made quite story Of it, which was
also a handsome thing IN TennysonI
But il does not follow that'ah these
scalawags who ran away from their
lovely spouses fifteen on twenty
years ago, and have jn-t disturbed
the peace Of the world by reappear;
ing, are Enoch Arden's, or that il il
necessary to publish their bi0gra-
phies in the local papers E1och
Arden was a trump-or rather, he
would have been If there had ever
been any such fellow,-but these
fellows that are turning up every
day in the newspapers arc the com
moncst kind Of cattle, who were
great only in disappearing, and mis-
erably obtuse in ever ,cominy up
again. We have had now within Q
few months in different parts Of the
country, the Enoch Arden who came
back and found his wife married
again, and made y great row about
it, and kicked his SUCCESSOR down
stairs; the Enoch who WAS not kind
" remembered at tine domestic hearth
was himself kicked out; the Enoch
who took matters philosophically,
aud played game of aseven-up' TO
see who sdould go and. stay; the
Enocht who came back, and found his
wife had been married twice, and
was waiting TO be married again; and
now we have, away out West, an
Enoch Arden who was scattered in
his infancy, and broken up by the
war--didn't know any OF his friends,
hadn't even strawberry mark "a
identity himselt or anybody elae by,
and alter roaming around several
years married = woman whom II
discovered afterwards to be hiB owI
sister, and then he disappeared.
And the conclusion We have arriv
ed ut; in all this business, is tha
there ID too much Of it. We've beer
reading these thrilling yarns for !
month or two with a considerable
| measure OF credulity. But we "pas.
