WE invite the earnest attention OF all
thinking men TO the letter OF our Beaufort
correspondent, printed this morning. The
negroes in Beaufort obtained horses, lurni-
turc and provisions without cost, and land
at nominal price. They have worked after
q fashion for three or four years for long
time they had the comfort and support Of
the Frcedman's Bureau And now they are,
according to our correspondent, worse oil
than they were in slavery times.

The Pardoning Power.

The Senate. on motion Of Mr. Ferry Of Con-
rectcu,, on the 5;h instant, called upon the
President for his authority to issue a procla-
nation Of amnesty. This was no doubt In
tended as a puzzler, but President Johnson's
answer on Monday las, shows that the call was
rather an act Of kindness, for it gave him the
opportunity Of conioundiug his enemies by a
most conclusive answer.
lie quotes the clause Of the Constitution
which provides that the President shall have
power to grant reprieves and parlous for Of
fences against the United States. except in
cases Of Impeachment and transmits copies Of
amnesty proclamatious by Presidents Wash
ington. Adams. Madison, and Lincoln. These
documents. now made a combined record. open

The Finances.

The state Of our national finances is calling
forth all manner Of schemes from the prolific
brains of our legislators, each protesting to be
the great djSsideratum necessary to the proper
adjustment Of our monetary interests. Some
Of our wise men say that the resumption Of
specic-payments should at once be entered on.
Others retort that such a course would imme-
diately create a financial panic Some say
that it should be deferred to 1870, others seve-
raj years longer in order that things may set
tie down preparatory thereto.
The great Butler spreads himself on a new
scheme, ignoring gold and silver as a Jarbaric
currency, and insisting on an exclusive paper
currency largely in excess Of that already in
circulation. After his great speech of last
week euunciating these original views, we
wonder that the ghost Of old Bullion does not
rise from the tomb and haunt the bold Massa-
cbusetts member.
We DO not profess to know much about
these schemes for helping along Uncle Sans
financial affairs, nor would we venture to as
scrt which plan is the most feasible for the
great end in view. It used to be the custom
among physicians when patient had re-
dundancy of blood, to bleed him, and thereby
diminish the circulation Of the crimson fluid in
his veins Now, to our view, Uncle Samuel
has very alarming symptoms Of plethora-or
In other words, the old fellow has too much
blood, notwithstanding the CORY fields of the
past ten years. To add to his circulation
therefore, would assurcdly increase his unfavo-
rable symptoms already alarming to his best
friends. We say then, decrease this circula-
ton, for there may be a termination thereof to
the head.
Let all the resources Of the nation be risidly
husbanded, and the means thus obtained
strictly applied TO the liquidation Of the pub
lie debt No more railroad subsidies-no
more lavish expenditure of the national funds
and after awhile the daylight will begin to
appear. Relief cannot begin to come until the
people see plainly that the immense OUTLAWS Of
money are being gradually and surely decreased

Surratt's Book.

We are informed, that this man who has be-
come so notorious on account Of his trial at
Washington. as one Of the conspirators in the
assassination ofPresident Lincoln, now absent
ia South America intends writing a truthful
narrative Of his connection with the plot to alb
duct the chief magistrate, and carry him a
captive TO Dixie
This account will be looked for with great
interest by the public, as he intends to show
that his mother who pe>ished on the scafiold,
had no knowledge of the plot to Kill the Presi-
Jeut,-aud that every effort was made to keep
the secret Of the plan for his abduction, from
her. Surratt also solemnly affrms that he
knew nothing Of Booths resolution to assassi-
nate. and that 10 one but Payne knew Of it,
until the night Of its execution. Surratt will
make oath 10 the entire statement

Col. Marmaduke Johnson's Letter.

Col. Marmaduke Johnson's Letter.
The letter of Col Marmaduke johnson, Of
Richmond says the Alexandra Gazette, in re-
lation to the f" New Movement" as it has been
called, is a very excellent one, moderate in its
tone, respectful in its language towards those
who inausurated the movement, and yet strong,
and, in our opinion, conclusive, against the
movement. He gives summary of the pro-
ceedings in Virginia up to the time of the late
Conference, aud shows that the Conservatives
of the State were firm and united in their OPP
position to universal suffrage" as tits called,
and that nothing has since occurred which
would iustify an abandonment Of their princi-
pies He says:
"The remarkable proposition is, to ask Con-
greSS to amend a constitution for Virginia, so
as TO provide for universal amnesty and univer-
sal suffrage. ] suppose not one OF these gen
tlemen believes that Congress has the legal
power to make, alter or amend constitution
for State, and they are, therefore, asking that
Congress shall uSurp powers, and violate the
constitution, in order to admit Virginia in the
Union upon terms, which, am sure, every
one of them execrated few weeks ago, and
upon fundamental principle which they now
saw they do not think is right. If we ask Con-
gresS to prescribe constitution for Virginia,
do we not admit its right to do so?
"And hereafter, when the time does come,
when we viii have representation in Congress
upon equal terms, and that body should then
undertake to NEEDLE with the constitutions of
the different States if we adopt the plan sug-
gested by these gentlemen with what force
could we deny their right to exercise this I'M
heard of power and this palpable and PERM
cious infringement upon the constitution ??
In another place be says:
"When the Northern people shall have a
dopted universal suffrage" for themselves,
which up to this time they have refused to do,
then. in order that we may all stand upon
common platform of republican equality, and
equally enjoy the blessings of republican con-
stitution, it will be slime enough for us to act
Again, he says:
"The question isis it incumbent upon MS
to be knocking at the door of Congressional
usurpation and oppression for membership in
the sisterhood of States upon unequal, and
therefore dishonorable, terms For SO great
a sacrifice, I can see no adequate reward in re-
turn. The burden of our taxation will not be
materially lghtened-nor will our capacity to
pay be materially increaSed-nor will the yoke
Of our oppression be removed. True, we would
secure representation. But what sort of repre-
sentation would it be? Especially in the cast
ern and southSde counties.
