WITTY.

we have Senator from this District in
the Legislature of West Virginia, who would
be witty if he could, but his attempts in this
direction are most lamentable. His failures
in this. respect are as complete, and almost as
notable, as those of Beast Butler in the recent
war. This Senator, whose name is Hoke, re-
Gently introduced Joint Resolution in the
Legislature, setting forth that Andrew
johnson, President, had, by late proolama-
tiop, extended pardon to all persons engaged
in the late rebellion, including Jefferson Davis,
and resolving that he be requested to issue a
like proclamation for Gems. Grant, Sherman,
Ben. Butler, and all others, who aided, assisted
or abettcd in putting down the rebellion."
Reader do you see the point in this resolu-
tion We don't, nor did the Senate of West
Virginia, for the resolution was laid over, and
so far as we know, was never called up again.
IF the Senator had added Steinmctz and his
accomplicee, after Ben Butler, his resolution
would. haze had more point, and have been
better understood. Then there would have
been motive for its introduction. AS it is,
L is neither wit or common sense.

pREsIDRNA PROCLAMATION,

The universal amnesty proclamation issued
by President johnson, on the day before
Christmas, is much commented upon, and
various are the conSectures as to the bearing
it is to have upon those whom it was designed
to relieve. The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, in letter dated Jan
uary 1, says:
The effect of the Presidents amnesty pro.
clamation is yet the subject Of argument and
doubt among Congressman and others, and it
is asked, "Does the proclamation remit or
cancel all penalties, and relieve against all
disabilities"
Among competent judges, there does not
appear to be any doubt that it can be pleaded
that it is within the, power and province of
the Executive to pardon, whether before or
after judicial conviction but does the pro-
clamation relieve as to the disabilities de-
scribed in the new amendment to the consti-
tution-the fourteenth ?
This is the mooted question: May those
who participated in the rebellion now hold
Office and vote; are the disabilities provided
in the 14th amendment intended as penal-
ties and if so, does not the Presidents par
don obliterGte and remove the penalty?
In answer it is claimed by some that not
withstapding the recently adopted fourteenth
amendment, which provides for the removal
of disabilities By two>thirds vote of Con-
gress, the Presidents power is complete, and
his pardon under the second article of the
Constitution accomplishes exactly what the
Congress may do under two third vote that
the fourteenth amendment does BOT repeal
the second article of the constitution, but at
most only gives Congress concurrent power
with the Executive in the subject named )
that under the amendment Congress may do
this thing by two>thirds vote.
Under the second article: the executive
can by his pardon, accomplish the same result.
Such is the substance of the argument held
by some officials, legal men and Congressman,
and there is so much conflict of opinion on
this important subject that in all probability
there will he no definite settlement of it until
judicial decision shall be had.

RuMQRS,


AT the recent session of the Legislature Oh Oh
West Virginia, an attempt was made to pass
. bill making two judicial circuits OF the
counties of Berkeley, Jefferson, Morgan and
Hampshire, now embraced in one. The bill
was passed in the Senate, bu. failed in the
House. On account of this addition to his
c;rcpit. aud the increased anorptof labor,
witllou: any provision for additional pay, it is
reported that the present Judge of this circuit,
3. D: Hale, has, or viii refuse to qualify,
and that vacancy on the bench will occur.
Tits further reported that the Governor has
signifed his purpose to appoint James H.
Furguson,a radical member of the Legislature
from West Virginia to the position. This is
nnothercOntemplated outrage. Why shoulda
Judge from 2 remote part OF the State be sent
here To- reside over our Courts Are there
not lawyers in our own midst, well qualified
to fill the position vacated by !Judge Hall !?
Where is Chapline ? where is Stubs F.? where
is Faulkner? that judge for this District
has to be imported? Let US have man who
is'in sene measure idcnti6ed with the in
forests of our people, and not carpet-6ag
stranger, Of whom We know little, and that
little not to his credit.

- On Saturday the 10th ult., the house
of Mr.. David Hanger near West View, Au-
gusta county, was destroyed by FIRE, nearly
every thing in the house being consumed
The fire originated from the chimney.
All the contracts for the building of the
Winchester & Strasburg railroad have been
given out, and the work will begin next
month. It is the intention of the Baltimore
company TO pnsh it through with rush.
On Tuesday the 22nd pit. celebration
took place in Harrisonburg, in honor of the
completion of the Railroad to that place
Speeches we're made By. Col. Leggett, Jas.
Kenney, Esq, Edgar Snowden, ESQ, E. c..
Marshall, Esq, and Dr.. Samuel Kaufman,
and there was general Jolly time.
We learn, with great pleasure, the pro-
liability that our distinguished and respected
townsman, Hon. James NJ. Mason, will soon
return to hisformer home, under the amnesty
proclamation. Though residents, for years,
of another country, he and his family have
lost none of their attachment to Virginia.

ciple upon which apecie-paying banks have

ciple upon which specie-paying banks have
been sustained.
In speech in the Senate last summer
argued that under the statutes; creating the
legal.tender notes and five-twenty bonds, the
government had the right to use the old or
existing notes in payment of those bonds-E
This argument I prefaced with the declara-
ton that the first duty of the government
was to return to specie payments, which
would render this question unimpottant, and
denying the right of the government to issue
new notes with which to pay those bonds
What was called the Peudleton theory, that
the government have the right to print new
notes with which to pay the fye-twenty bonds
have always condemned. If this position
is what you cali the tsgreenback theory" the
UNANIMOUSLY dishonest proposition the Grim
inal blunder,' you need not pat me down as
repentant supporter. You have no evidence
of my repentance.
Your statement that but for the talk of
paying the fve>twenties in greenbacks, the
government would have resumed specie pay
ment and commenced funding our five TWEEN
ties at a lower rate of interest long ago, is alb
surd. 1t is absolutely refuted by the quota
tons of our stocks, both at home and abroad.
The six per cents of 81, as they are called,
that were issued and sold before the passage
of the statutes creating the legaltender notes,
and which nobody pretended should be paid
in anything but coin, and about which there
has never been question, have never been
rated more than four cents higher than the
fve-twenties and this was because the law
creating them reserved no right on the part
of the government to pay them before they fall
due in 1881, and cannot be funded as the
others NAV.
