peeially if you can dip into so rich o
mine as Uncle Sans Treasury.
+ Butler has shown his eolors, his long
winded eloquence, and his financial
schemes. How do you relish the
dainty dish. Republicans? In what do
they fall short Of Reputation? Is the
finance plank of the Republican plat
form to be construed to assert, that
specie, sis a relic of barbarism," and
coin, ..the tool alike of the barbarian
and the despot?"
The proposition to transform the
Rotunda of the Capitol into Dancing
Hall ON Inauguration day has been de-
feated, and the assertion of an Hon.
Senator that it would be equally con-,
sistent to use it for s'Black Crook" ex-
hibitions, was met by the retort that
s'worse shows" were of frequent oc-
currence, which every man not blind
from his youth up will candialy en-
dorse.
The North wing of the Treasury
building is being pushed rapidly to
completion. The upper stories are be-
ing now carpeted, and fitted up for the
use of the Internal Revenue Bureau;
who will be ready to move in shortly.
The buildings now occupied by the
Bureau will be rented by the Quar-
termaster Department for their own
use. This relieves the Corcoran build
ing from Governmental occupation, and
renders it available for its original de-
sign as an Academy of Art and
Science But whether it will be ap-
piled to such purpose as intended form
erly, is doubtful. Washington is not
what it once was, nor are its ancient
patrons as generous as heretofore
The magnificent pavement in front of
the North wing is nearly completed,
and is a credit alike to the contractors
and the Government, and an ornament
of which the city is justly proud.
Are the Ku-klux- khan dying out?
or commenced in this city their old
trade? Or have burglars assumed the
Sly HS ihO Hldhc Lnc SdllC Oil the UOuI
posts of their intended victims? We
know not, but the houses of promi-
nent Senator, an Ex-Secretary, and of
an Hon. Representative, have been
spotted, marked by the mystic signs
What does it mean? Warnings of dire
calamities, threats of mask, dagger and
cord; or is it the means of salvation
from the rapacious boards of gangs of
negro burglars who now infest the city,
and wishing to show their appreciation
of the services conferred on their race,
by taking them under their especial
protection? We trust the latter is the
solution, if any be necessary. Zone

How Pardon is Received.

President Johnson's amnesty procla-
nation, in his view, was ia be the
means of securing permanent peace,
order and prosperity throughout the
land, and TO renew and fully restore
confidence and fraternal feeling among
the whole people, anil, by its magma
nimity, draw from the rebels them
selves respect and attachment to the
government. But if they all receive Il
in the spirit that Gen. Jubal Early
does, it viii fall far short Of accom-
plishing the end that the President pre-
dicted. He writes from his retreat in
Canada West, to Virginia friend, that
he regards the proclamation of A. j.
cas- final acknowledgment by the Uni
ted States, in all its departments, Of It's
inability TO hold any Of responsible.
under the Constellation and iaps as they
sCsre, for oar resistance to its asarpa-
TONS"
Taking this comfortable view Of the
proclamation, and ''without acc epting
it as pardon for ofenses," the Gener-
al thinks he can return to his country
without compromise of principles, and
he proposes soon doing so.
The Cincinnati Commercial well
says
This lays the foundation of a pretty
heavy bill of damages against the Gov
ernment at some future day. If those
who engaged in the rebellion commit
ted no crime or ofense known to the
Constitution or laws of the United
States by resisting its usurpatiOns, ,"
are they not entitled to recover from
that Government indemni6cation for
the losses sustained in making that war
rantable resistance? Obviously, and
upon every principle of equity, this
would follow.
Though it is rather late in the day
to undertake it, yet, if it is to be consid-
cred that because none of the rebels
have been tried, convicted and con-
demned to death for high treason,
therefore they committed no punisha
bic offense by rebellion and making
war upon the Government-that the
war was, on the part of the nation, a
John Brown raid on large scale, and
that all who engaged in killing the de-
tenders Of the Constitution whom they
took to be rebels, were murderers-w
should favor test case, and name the
jovial Jubal as the proper individual to
commence with. At any rate, this
sort of talk should admonish Congress
and the country that reconstruction
may as well be hastened slowly, and
few of these highly-Aavored rebels kept
under the political disabilities defined
by the fourteenth article of the Consti-
tuition, during their natural lifetime.
They may possibly be able to dis
cover that they have been guilty of
very grave offenses, and that it is with
in the legitimate power of the Govern
ment to punish them.
