WASHINGTON.
The Feeling Among Conservatives and RalI.
Gals at the National Capital.


WASHINGTON, Dec. IS, 1894
The Presidents amnesty proclamation excites
very little comment here, either from republicans
democrats. The latter, OF course, praise it, while
the extreme radicals severely condemn it. Moderate
men, sych as Senator TrumDull, look upon 1t as OF
little Importance either way. They say it settles
nothing except the mere question Of the pardon q
few men engaged in the rebellion ~ho were not cov-
cred by previous proclamatons of similar character
The other questions OF political rights, the restora
ton OF property, &c must be settled by the courts
SO that the proclamation is regarded as relieving
such men as Davis, Breckenridge and Jake Thompson
from being prosecuted for treason only. The mod
crate republicans think it can do no harm, and may
do good by taking away fr ON the people OF the
South the fe.'ng OF dissatisfaction and resentment
which they have fell =. the threatened punishment
which has heretofore hung over their leaders,
and by implication, oyer themselves. Radicals
like General Butler think the issuing OF the procla-
nation arranted act of authority on the part
Of the President. They threaten t0rcst II as OF no
effect and some Of them 60 far as 10 talk OF
new impeachment OF the President. This, how
ever, finds little favor among those now here. Able
lawyers like Senator Trumbull say Congress cannot
do anything to set the proclamation aside, even If
they were so disposed, though it Is probable some
such foolish attempt will be made by those more
jealous than prudent.

son got their charter renewed. And, in 1s-
81. when the first $500 became due, Mayor
Davenport called on the firm for the amount.
They made dilatory excuses, and thus kept
the matter running on for sometime, even
till 1864, when they refused to pay at oil.
1t was then that Mayor Davenport caused
the affidavits of Judge Bailey, and Alderman
Steel, to be taken and placed on file In the
city clerks office, and also took measures to
get the testimony of the other members OF
the City Council who made the trade.
Now. we contend that John w. Spencer
is lust as much to blame as Robinson. The
trade was made by the managing man of his
firm. for the firm, and by his knowledge and
consent and he is Just as much bound by ii
as if he had made it himself John W.
Spencer claims to be an honest man, to deal
fairly, squarely and honestly. William Bal
ley and Alexander Steel swear that his firm
was pledged to the people of this city for
$500 year for the term of ten years. And
if he is an honest man he will pay the pee
pie the $500 a year, since SCI, together with
the interest due on the same. He and his
partner have got the money in their pockets
1t belongs to the people, and the people want
it. No one expects Robinson to keep his
promise-but Judge Spencer, if he wishes tc
retain the respect of this community, mus
make good the publicly pledged honor of his
frm-made to William Bailey, and other
members of the city government. Will b
do 1t

REMEMBER THIS.

In 1867, two years before it was necessary
to move in the matter, Spencer & Robinson
used the radical party to renew their ferry
monopoly for ten years, to 1881, and not
only refused to make good their promise of
$500 year to the city treasury, but actu-
ally struck out of the charter the provision
TO pay $500 to the school treasury. The
people should not forget this. And they
should not forget that it was done by the
party lash, well laid on to the backs Of Web

DISHONORARLK.

Occasionally some one says, "Glve 1t to
Robinson, right and left, he deserves it all
but Old Spencer is a clever old man, and
not SO much to blame" Let US see about
that. Tom Robinson, as the active man OF
the firm, and with Spencers consent, public
ly pledged the honor of the firm to the City
Council, when William Bailey was Mayor,
to pay the people of this city $1,000 year,
Ii the City Council would not oppose the ex-
tension OF their ferry charter, in 1857, for
ten years from 1861, when their charter
would have expired. Onehalf of this sum
was to be paid into the school district treas.
ury, and the other half into the city treasury,
all of which would 60 to lessen the peo.
ples' taxes. It was foolish trade, on the
part of the City Council, and one which they
should not have made. But it was made.
and made with John w. Spencer's knowl-
edge and consent The part to be paid to
the school treasury was fixed in the charter
but Robinson, in his treacherous, tricky and
dishonest way. objected to having any stipu-
lation In the charter about the $500 to be
paid into the city treasury, because, as he
said, he was afraid it would prevent the re-
newal Of the charter. And for the same rea-
son be objected to making any writings
about the agreement until after the charter
was renewed. Mayor Bailey consented to
let the matter be in that shape, he having
great confidence in the promises Of Spencer
l. Robinson, and supposing their publicly
pledged word was as good as their bond.
