LEES MIsERABLEs.-In clever article
on the reported joke that Grant would
not appoint Mr.. Davis as Secretary of
War. the Chicago Times says:
'Jef. Davis is, to-day, the superior in
brains, and the peer in genuine loyalty,
of three-fourths of the politicians party.
His main superiority consists in the fact
that while he labored four years to dis
member the Union, the same thing was
done in two years by the Radical loyalists
who controlled the federal legislation. In
truth, Grant mi ht select many Southern
men who would be more unAinching in
their devotion to the Union, more econ
omical in the management of the national
expenditures, more to be trusted in coun-
Gil, drawer in action, than majority of
the fanatics, who, to-day, leglslate only
for party, who are filled with causeless
hatred against the South, and who are
monthly plugging the nation deeper in
debt and in financial difficulty. Who is
there of good, sound sense, and possessed
by sincere desire for the interests of the
whole country. who will doubt, even for
for moment, that Robert E. Lee, as a
gentleman, a nan of brains, and of loyal
devotion to the Union, is immeasurably
the superior of three-fourtbs of the blat-
ant demagogucs, in Congress and out of
it. who hate the South with vindictive-
ness unparalleled in civilization? Gen
eral Grant himself will, we doubt not,
without the slightest. hesitation, make
oath to the assertion that Lee is better
man, in every respect, than Butler. Phil
lips, Chandler, or any dozen of the lead
ing spirits of his own party"

ably in regard to the early completion of the

Der last. The authority Of law by which it
was made is set forth in the proclamation it,
self, which expressly af6rms that it was is
sued "'.by virtue Of the power and authority
in me vested by, the Constitution, and 10 the
name Of the sovereign people Of the, United

war, with restoration of all rights, privileges.
and immunities under the Constitution, and

The Federal Constitution is understood to
be, and is regarded by the Executive, as the

of article second of that instrument provides
that the President "sball have power to grant
repricves and pardons for offenses against the

Washington in 1875, and followed by Presi-
dents Adams in 1900, Madison in 1915, and
Lincoln in 1868, and by the present Execu-
tive in 1865, 1867 and 1868. .

He
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald gives the following:
Surratt is now in South America, but
will return here in a month. I learn
from one of his friends that be has pre-
pared full and explicit statement Of the
conspiracy which resulted in the death Of
President Lincoln. In this he denies all
knowledge Of any assassination plot, but
confesses freely that Booth and himself
and others were in plot to abduct Mr..
Lincoln. He declares that assassination
was never spoken of to him, and was not
agreed on by Booth and Payne until the
night it took place. He further insists
on the entire innocence of his mother,
maintains that every effort was made to
keep the abduction plot from her know
ledge, and says she was simply the victim
of unfortunate circumstances, and the
Vaccinations of the witness Weichman,
whose evidence, it will be remembered,
caused Mrs. Surratt's conviction. Sur
raft proposes to tell everything heknows,
the good, bad, and Indifferent.
