not be relieved from taking the iron-clad
oath of July 2, 1862, by Congressional
pardon or vote of two thirds of Congress.
The act of Congress of July II, 1868,
prescribing the modified oath refers alone
by its very terms to those ''from whom
all legal disabilities arising therefrom have
been removed by act of Congress, " and
does not at all apply to those who had no
disabilities, but who attempt by Con-
gressional pardon to get the benefit of this
modified oath. le5
The act of Congress passed March Z,
1870, relieving the disabilities of several
thousand persons, and which is similar to
all others on the same subject, reads as
follows:
THAT all legal and political disabilities
imposed by the fourteenth amendment of
the Constitution of the United States, by
reason of participation in the late rebel
lion, be and they hereby are removed
from the following persons, viz -,
and it fully accords with the view above
set out.

are important questions, and all we desire
is to simply present all the facts to the

DAWES ON RADICAL EXTRAVA-
CANOE.

On the 8th of July, 1870, proposition
in the shape of an amendment to a Dill
was pending before the House of Repre-
sentatives which would take a large
amount of money from the public treasu-
~, when the Hon. Henry L. Dawes,
(RadicaD of Massachusetts,, Chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations, de-
clared that if the amendment was adopt
ed, he 'would go to the country and tell
the country that the party which were re-
sponsible for the expenditures of public
money had refused to hold itself up to a
point of public economy" Inc amend
ment was adopted in the teeth of Mr..
Dawes threat, but he has failed
to make the exposure of the
extravaganza of corruption of the
party with which he continues to act.
He should go to the country and tell the
people, what he proved in Congress last
winter, that Andrew johnson, during the
last year of his administration, asked for
but S303, 900, 900, and that amount was
cut down $40, 600, 900, while the present
administration demanded 1881, 697, ia,
Fan increase" to use Mr.. Dawes own
words, "of over s28, 900, 900 beyond the
amount required by Andrew johnson, and
an increase of $40, 537 over the
amount appropriated for the present year. /"
Mr.. Dawes has been making speeches in
Maine, but has had nothing to say of the
profigacy of the Grant administration,
which he so forcibly denounced less than
a year ago.
