Universal Amnesty.

We have vet to see from n quarter OBJ
jec'ions raised to the views of the President
on the subject Of amnesty. An energetic
eff"', is TO be made to pass a bin through
both Houses of Congress, removing all po-
litical disabilities, before the holiday adj
jonrnmeni, which is expected to take place
on the 2lst% ins,ant.--lC Council Bluffs Nonpa-

Now that there has been a general
and sudden conversion to clemency,
would it not be- as well to for
give Horace Greeley for having
advocated amnesty before President
Grant did so 2?

rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more en-

There seems to he a general rush

1t is a qualification to know that
Tweed has been indicted at last and
has been arrested. His bail was
fixed at 81 100000, in default Of
which he was sent to Jail. Judge
Barna 4, the notorious creature and

IT Is wonderful, what a powerful
argument canb adiuced by the Pres
