Amnesty In Instalmenrs.

The compromise in regard to general am
nesty In the South, which abolishes the test
oath-that iron-clad that has kept upa mortar
fire on Southerners ever since Lee and Kirby
Smith surrendered-was passed in the House
on Wednesday, after an agonizing attempt
on the part of blinded radicals to stay it. We
have frequently been called upon to warn the
democracy Of their short-sightedness and
laundering, but that party has no such
instance Of mulishness on its record as the
radicals have exhibited in this matter of am
nesty.' Ben Butler and all his partisan
adherents see that general amnesty is
Inevitable, and yet they allow themselves to
be pushed toward ito be driven inch by
inch toward the inevtable-when they should
take time by the forolock (and, fguratively,
they would be taking the scalps of their
enemies at the same time) and declare in
enc generous measure full and free pardon to
all the South. They hold that it would be
giving the State governments over to the
rebels at once and that the rebels are full of
bitterness toward Union men; but, even if this
were 80, delay or niggardness would not help
it. The rebels will not love Union men any
the better for being themselves ground more
completely to earth by them, nor will they
seize the State governments with any less
avidity for being kept out Of them so much
longer. Even as an experiment it would be
well to try the effect of general amnesty
on the people of the South. They have
nothing else but disfranchisement to CON-
plain of now. They can find no fault with
the Union as it is, and have even had the
wind taken out of their sails regarding negro
suffrage. There would be no wrong of
which they could make political capital if
general amnesty were declared and carried
out. The question of reconstruction in the
South, on which the republican party has
made 80 many mistakes, would be a dead issue
in the campaign Of 1872, and the present ad-
ministraton could ride smoothly into Office on
some new and more satisfactory policy, such
as the Alabama claims, the payment Of the
debt, or the annexation of st. Domingo or
Cuba. We venture to say that the disfran-
chisement of the leading men of the South is
more satisfactory to the shyster democrats,
merely on the score of political capital, than
ever the ''nigger' was in the palmy old days
of slavery, or the ''iurriner" in the hot agita-
ton of the Know-Nothings.

by the Germans at the close OF the siege OF
Paris, was much greater than was at first be-
lieved
Most Of the forts were found in bad con-
dition. The sanitary regulations had been
badly neglected by the French.
PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES.
The German engineer corps are already OF
work strengthening their positions. This is
evidently precautionary measure in case the
last hopes of peace should be disappointed.
THE CORRESPONDENTS.
Since the conclusion of the armistice flood
of applications has been received by the Ger
man authorities, from correspondents and
others, requesting permission to pass in and
out Of the capital, but in no case is it granted
yet. Only those in charge Of provisions are
allowed to pass the lines.
SPECULATIVE GERMANS.
Whispers are current of heavy speculations
by German traders, in collusion with the COM
missariat department charged with revictual-
ling the city. II is said that immense stores
are accumulated by such harpies and sold to
the Parisians at enormous profits. This may,
however, be only camp rumor.

IELfGRAMS 70 THE NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON Feb. 2, 1871.
The correspondent of the New YORK
HERALD at Versailles telegraphs me to-day the
following intelligence. He writes =
ACCEPTANCE OF THE AEMIsTIoE.
The terms of the armistice between France
and Germany have been accepted by all the
French departments, with single exception
that of the Department of Bouches du Rhone,
which has rejected it. AT Marseilles the cleo
tions for members of the National Assembly
are to be Immediately proceeded with.
DOUBT.
Considerable doubt is expressed here
whether the armistice and elections for men,
bers of the Constituent Assembly will be pro-
ductive of ultimate peace.
TIE PARIS 'REDs" AorIvH
Political news from inside of Paris is scarce.
The Reds are active in their efforts to secure
the ascendancy.
There is reason to believe that large
majority of the people in Paris and through
out the country viii elect representatives in
favor of peace almost any bearable terms.
Among the people here exists strong
reactionary feeling in favor Of the empire.
A FRENCH OPINION
Last night convalescent officer at the
chateau assured me that among his division of
National Guards the universal feeling was
that the republicans had forced the war on the
Emperor by intrigues in the name of loyalty,
and that the bad discipline of the army was
mainly responsible for the disastrous results.

QUEER ALLIANCE.
The Partisan government, in its own most
urgent interest, has become the ally of Ger
many in preventing fresh outbreak of the
war; and so utilizing the armistice to secure a
real peace.
DENoUNCING THE BORDEAUX MUNICIPALITY.
A despatch from Lille, dated to day, reports
that the Echo du Nord is ia favor of peace.
II calls the appeals for resistance made by the
municipality Of Bordeaux encroachments
upon the powers of the Constituent Assembly.
PROGRAMME OF A PARIS RADICAL SOCIETY
lie Progrss (newspaper) of Lyons, pub
fishes the programme of the Radical Society
in Paris, founded by Rollin, Delescluze and
Peyrouton. LII pronounces for the republic
with one assembly; an executive, to be
chosen and recalled by the assembly; the
suppression of the standing army and substi-
tuition therefor Of militia comprising all
citizens the reduction of the budget, and
the abolition OF the titles and privileges of
nobility. 1t repudiates for ever all wars for
purposes Of conquest, and concludes with the
demand that no negotiations be made with the
Prussians while they remain on French soil.
