Condltlon Of ItaIY...RevoIt Of Repubheans

FLORENCE, MAY 1.-THE Republican
agitation throughout Italy is augmenting
in strength daily, and fears are enter
tanned by the Government that in certain
quarters it may culmInate in an open re-
volt. As a measure of precaution, troops
are being dispatched with the utmost
celebrity to those points displaying the
greatest signs of disaffection. The insur-
rection has broken ont in the province of
Modena, and the Republicans have raised
the standard of revolt. A collision has
taken place between the troops sent to
suppress the revolt and the revolutionary
band, during which the latter lost several
killed and wounded. The loss of the
Government troops was slight. The reb-
els retreated and are being actively pur-
sued. The Government dispatched rein
fOrcements, and the probability is that
the outbreak will be suppressed.

Peddling Pard0ns.

There is source of corruption even
worse than the sale of cadetships, and
which, if thoroughly investigated,
would involve more men and make
more disagreeable revelations than
any subject ever brought before Con-
gress. mean the sale of pardOns--the
peddling of amnesties. This has been
carried on as business ever since the
adoption of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, imposing certain disabilities for
participation in the rebellion. The
last clause ofthat amendment provides
that Congress may, by two-thirds
vote, remove such disabilities" Every
once in a while bill is passed under
this provision, naming certain persons
as relieved of their disabilities. To
get ones name in such a measure is
quite a desideratum to a Southern man
desiring to hold Office. And here the
corruption comes in. 1t is said that
500 is frequently paid for the
insertion of name in one of these
bills-paid directly to the carpet-bag-
gers from the districts in which the APP
plicants live. 1t is for this reason that
