THE New York Tribune says ~
. 0ne,of those events which occasionally
transpire to assert, in the most emphatic
manner, the leveling spirit Of theiage, oc-
CURED on Saturday in this city, ThisWas
no less than the marriage Of Prince Of
the, ancient and conservative house Of
Bourbon to the daughter Of q Cuban
merchant. The story--a most Romantic
one--is as follows: Some three or four
yesTsago Mrs, Hamil, the wife of awell-
known merchant in Havana, left that city
TO place her daughter IN a school in Paris
They stopped for some time In this city,
having rooms at Delmonico's, and made
many warm friends wherever they were
known.
The edaughter, possessed of more than
ordinary accomplishments and personal
charms, attracted much attention among
the best society Of the gay French capital.
She was received in the most exclusive
circles, and IL Is said was a frequent guest
at theImperial Court. Among the many
distinguished gentlemen who paid her
their court was Prince Louis de Bourbon,
son Of Louis, Count d d'Aquilla, one Of the
chief members Of the Bourbon family.
The Prince proposed to her and was &C.
oepted, under the mothers sanction, but
when Count d 'Aquilla learned the inten-
ton Of his son, his pride reyolted at what
he and others of royal blood considered d
tnesalliapce, and he not only forbade the
Ptnateh, but used his influence with the
Emperor to induce the latter to discounte-
nance It should the, Prince seek his sup
port The lovers, In company with the
! lady's mother, then determined to go to
England and there fulfllthe marriage, but
the father inierfered, and succeeded in
preventing them from carrying it out.
After more than one disappointment
| from the refusal Of the Catholic clergy to
perform the ceremony, the perseeuted ones
determined to proceed to- the United
! States, where they hoped to find no diff
Guilty In fulfilling their contract but even
in this free country the influence Of con.

Presidents PROCLAIM .tion.

by the President 0fthe u tied Sates-a Proclamation
Whereas, the President of the United
States has hitherto set forth several pro-
clamations offering amnesty and pardon
to pcrsens who had bVen or were con.
cerned in the late rebellion against the
lawful authority of the government of
the United States, which proclaniations
were severally issued on the Sth day Of
December 1868, on the 2Gth day of
March 1864, on the 29lh day of May,
1865, on the 9TH day of September, 1867,
and on the 4th day of July in the pres
ent year, and
Whereas, The authority of tho federal
government having been re-established
in all the states and territories within
the jurisdiction of the United States, il is
believed that such prudential reservations
and exceptions rs at the date OF said sew
sral proclamations were deemed neces-
ssry and proper may now be wisely and
justly relinquished and that an universal
amnesty and pardon for participation in
said rebellion extended to all who have
borne any part therein will tend to secure
permanent peace and prosperity through
out the land and 10 renew and fully re-
store confidence ands fraternal feeling
among tho whole people and their respect
Tor aud attachment to the national gov
ernment, designed Ivy its patriotic found
ers for the general good.
Now, therefore, be it known that /,
Andrew johnson, President of the Unit.
ed States, by virtue of the power aud au-
thority IN me vested by tho constitution,
and in the name of tho sovereign people
of the United States, do hereby proclaim
and declare, Internationally and without
reservation, To all and TO every person
who directly or indirectly participated in
tho late insurrection or rebellion full
pardon and amnesty for the oflcnse Of
treason against tho United States, or OF
adhering to their enemies during the lat,
civil war, with the restoration of al
rights, privileges and immunities unde

Final Amnesty-Jeff Davis.

President Johnson's Christmas Proc
lamatipn of Universal amnesty excites
little interest aud prorOkes few remarks.
We rejoice that the very man " no was
most vehement and vociterous in prccla-
ming that ''treasOn is u crime, and trait
ors mnst be punished" when Llnculn's
murder had set the country wild for ven.
geance, now fath,rs the mort sweeping
Amnesty ever pEsnuunced by man. In
81 far rs he may have sougl or wished
to disturb the foundations Of ltccoustruc-
tion rs enacted 10y Cnngrt ~, his l'roca-
motion can have no legal force other
wise we presume it will'iake full effect
II any OF tho leading Rebels have thus
tar remained abroad ilo.r apprehension
that they w"ull be- prosecuted or other
wise molesled if they came hone, they
will soon bo among u.s. We doaU, kat
there ara so many ~ twenty in all.
We ssld' m of late iind decent ex-
cuse for praising Andrew Juhnson; but
we thank linn forputting an end, even
thus tard,ly, " the ow.adIug legal farce,
enac'ed every few months, under the de.
ceitiul title Of "TIial of jeff. Davis" A
swindle by which nobody is duped "a
farce at which nobody thinks of laugh
ing-must have outlivcI its day. Now,
there has been no intelligent person de-
csived, for at least two years back, by
the pretense OF keeping Davis in contine-
Nment, or holding him to bail, as though
it was intended that he should be put on
trial for his life. For a time, there was
some such expectation and the good-na-
tured public thought it rather q nice
thing to spend 100000 or so per annum
to keep him safe in Fortress Monroe till
the day of trial should arrive. But he
who does not know that trials for trea.
son must be brought on while treason is
still rampant and perilous, or very soon
after its collapse, else conviction is i'm
possible, cannot have read many volumes
of history. We doubt that it was ever
possible to convict Davis of treason in O
civil court, unless by excluding every ac-
tive Democrat from the jury-box. Judge
Underwood, who would have rejoiced TO
try him with tolcrable chance of sue
cess, testified before Committee OF
Congress that no verdict could be obtain
ed against him in Virginia unless the jury
were packed for the purpose-whichi il
undoubtedly true. And that truth
doubtless Afforded one of the reasons for
not trying him.
II any one is sorry that we are not to
have another procession of lawyers to
Riehmond--another tableau in court
and another announcement by tels.
graph that the trial of Jefferson DAVIS
has been postponed to the next term
he will doubtless make it manifest.

At the banquet with which the Union
League of Philadelphia received the Vice
President elect Saturday night'h week,
Mr. Colfax tersely and handsomely re-
cognized the national demand upon the
incoming administration. "The most
searching retrenchment, honesty, efficien-
cy, and higher character in all connected
with the public service; rigid guardian
ship OF the Treasury against unwise and
extravagant schemes; a financial policy
which shall maintain our credit untarnish-
ed, appreciate our currency, and place us
on the firm rock of specie payments" ."
These are golden words, right worthy of
the high officer who utters them, and OF
the Administration whose motto we think
they will be found to be.
