EsedicaI Amnesty $50 Called.

The Amnesty Bill, which, having
passed the House of Representatives at
the last session of Congress, was defeated
in the Senate by the BitterEnd Radicals,
was mere pretence of an amnesty after
all. 1t excepted all officers of the old
army and navy who joined the Confed-
eracy, and all Senators and Representa-
tives who left their seats in Congress at
the behests of their States. As these
men were obeying the voices of their con-
stituencies the scheme to punish them
exclusively and indefinitely is no less
partial than contemplate. 1t is prop
osition to punish the agent for doing
what the principal had instructed.
On this subject of Radical prescription
Of Southern men whose fault was to be
held worthy of the consideration of their
countrymen before and during the war,
and who cheerfully abandoned the high
places they already occupied to abide the
fate of the Independent movement which
Northern injustice and violation of
plighted faith justified The New York
Evening Post, one of the organs of the
Reform Republicans, holds this strong
language:
For the joint product Of kndUe1y and igno.
rance Carpet bag rule) there is but one
remedy. This is to encourage active parti-
cipation in Southern politics by a respectable
and Intelligent class Of citizens. Such class
OF men EXISTS IN the South, and its members are
at present prohibited from lifting finger to SaUe
their States from ruin. 1T we still persist in
IN maintaining the present prescription. let us.
at least, have the candor to confess that it
is not the Southern leaders but the Southern
people we are Furnishing. Bitter as is the

One of the Radical papers here refers
to so-called Senator Ames' active agency
in the matter of the organization of the
Legislature, which means that he is
welding the lash of the Administration
TO keep the faithful in line. 1t is a des-
picable organization, which depends for
its maintenance upon the agency of a
mere interloper. No longer welding the
sword of a corrupt and despotic Admin
istration over the heads of a defenceless
and oppressed people, upon whom he de-
lighted to heap insults, which viii not be
forgotten, this whippersnapper will find
that his power has very considerably d.
minished and that none but the merest
hacks of his own carpet-bag-clan, are mean
spirited enough to come at his beck. In
the late election, by the popular fat, q vast
deal of the vermin which was bred In his
reign, and which for season fiourished
in its rottenness have passed away, and
the places that knew them as public Off
Gals, viii know them no more forever.

Gus, the fate of the whole crew may be
read, unless the retributions Of Justice
have ceased 70 oyertake and punish the

sHarrhnIl County Contested Flee
zion Gases.

We learn from the Reporter of tkf
28th Of December, that the Representa-
tiYes elect from Marshall county whose
seats are being contested by Gill, Hill
and Jones, defeated Republicans, were
denied the privilege of cross-examIning
the. witnesses of the contestants at Hud-
sonviIle, in that county, on the 21st ut.
1t appears that in pursuance of notices
received, the eontestees, Messrs. Calhoon,
Tucker and Crump, were present at Hud-
.9nrille on the 21st of December, in per-
son and by attorney, and demanded the
right TO cross-examine every witness in
troduced by their competitors. But the
magistrate officiating, upon objection
being raised by contestants, sustained OBJ
lection and consumed the entire day IN
taking &c pGrte testimony. This was an
unwarranted proceeding upon the part of
the contestants and their partisan magis-
trate. and calls for the unqualified con-
domination of all decent and fair minded
Republicans. 1t is proper to add that
the magistrate, says the Reporter, ex-
pressed his disapprobation of the objec-
ton urged by the contestants, but said
that iRasmuch as he was employed by
them and looked to them for his compen-
sation, he did not feel prepared to permit
the cross-examination, unless they so de-
sired. But he did not wish to be made to
appear before the Legislature in the atti-
tude of sustaining the objection, as he felt
that the ends of justice required full ex-
animation of all the witnesses. Notwith-
standing his full conviction that Justice
demanded that contestees should be per-
mitted to cross-eXamine witnesses, this
magistrate consumed the whole of the
21st of December in taking testimony-er
parte. A House composed entirely of
would hardly decide the aft
davits taken at jacksonville admissible as
evidence before it in the trial of any
cause. Since this occurred the contested
election case of B. ID. Nabers VS.. B. w.
Walthall, for the office of Chancery
Clerk, was tried at Holly Springs before
this same magistrate, L. c. Abbott, Re
publican, by jury summoned by Re
publicaa Sheriff, and composed of six
blacks and six whites. This jury, about
equally divided in politics, as well as in
color, gave in a verdict for Walthall, the
Conservative contestee. 1t Is fair to as
sumo that all the testimony that came
before the House favorable to the con-
Lestants for seats from that county, was
permitted to go to this jury, as the mag
strate presiding during the trial was
4 Republican and in good standing
with his party.

The Meeting of Ghe Legislature.

Although by the fragrant robbery Of
the right Of the majority to select their
representatives in a number Of counties,
and the entire deprival Of others to be
represented at all, the Radicals have re-
ceived a small majority in the Legisla-
ture, the people viii, nevertheless, ez-
pect much in the way Of Reformatory
service. Elsewhere We have sketched
some of the prominent measures which
will require the action Of that body. The
Taxpayers are literally groaning under
the weight of the burdens imposed by the
irresponsible body which preceded the
present Legislature; and they will ex-
pect the Conservative and Democratic
members, at least, to come theoretically
and promptly to their relief in the mat
ter of reducing taxation abolishing sln-
ecures-and cutting down salaries. To
this policy these members are unequlvo-
cally committed. The fault should not
be theirs if it is not carried out.

The Two Great Divisions of Pub.
lie $entinaenf-.-'Ahey are Gree
Hted by Mere Names.


1t is daily becoming more manifest that
the real line of division between political
| parties in this country is not indicated by
the terms republican or democrat
These words have nearly ceased to have
any political significance beyond the mere
fact that they are names conventionalIy
employed in speaking of certain organized
societies; just as the Odd Fellows, the Free
MasOns, the Tammany Society, &c, are
names used for similar purpose. They do
not indicate the line which really separates
public sentiment in this country iuto two
general and opposite parts, as all the facts
now apparent combine to show
In every part of the country, with respect
to general as well as local and special affairs,
the contest now proceeding is a contest be-
tween the desire for better and purer and
more upright administration, on the one
hand, and satisfaction with the prevailing
administration of affairs on the other Ii
is the struggle between an earnest and
daily increasing desire for reform, and a
selfish desire to keep things as they are. 1t
Is the world old battle between virtue and
vice, honesty and dishonesty. Persons call
themselves republicans" are found battling
on either side, and so also are persons call
ing themselves democrats" The Tam
many ring OF governing thieves in New

CARNATIONS. The opponents of Tammany-
ism in that city com prehend both. The re-
markable struggle in the Senate at Wash
ington which has been proceeding for
week, is essentially struggle between the
two great divisions of public sentiment;
between the Ieformers and the anti-reform-
ers, and not between Democrats and Repub-
licans; names which seem to have wholly
disappeared from the controversy. Carl

The EnternationaIs.

We have seen great deal against the
International Society and occasionally an
article in its favor in our exchanges. So
lar as we understand its purposes we see
nothing to disapprove of, and much to
commend. The society was organized in
London some years ago for the purpose of
propgaating Democratic principles in the
minds of the people of Europe, and to
raise the working man to position of
political and social independence. They
have been charged with infidelism, house
burning and all manner of criDes bv the
subsidized press Of Europe, but we doubt
the truth OF these charges. 1t may be
that they have been guilty of acts that
should not have been committed, but
surely the expressions to which the COM
mon people Of Europe have been sub
jected by the crowned heads and nobility
time whereof the memory of man knoweth
not to the contrary should at least extenu-
ate if they do not entirely palate their
offences. We doubt not but there is, of
the members of the society. bad men,
but that organization is not alone in this

tempted SuAct0e.
The New York Sun Of Saturday has
the following interesting account OF the
career OF fast young man:
Henry Buttle, who was arrested on
Thursday night for passing forged
check for SIS on Robert Kessler, a butch
err, at 26S Seventh avenue, was commit
ted Yesterday by Justice Cox. The career
of Buttle, who is twenty-three years of
age, is almost unparalleled.
When but ten years old, his father, a
prominent and wealthy merchant, died,
| leaving Henry, who was his only child,
heir to an estate valued ut $3.50, 600. His
father appointed brother executor OF
the estate. Henry came in possession of
his property when of age, and shortly
after made the acquaintance OF a daugh-
ter of Colonel Clinton, of Mississippi, to
whom, after a short acquaintance, he was
married He engaged an elegant suit OF
rooms at the Firth Avenue Hotel for
himself and bride, securing the services
of French maid for his wife. The first
five months Of his marriage he purchased
from Bishop d Rein, jewellers under the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, So, 600 worth of
diamonds, which he presented to his wife.
He also purchased fast horses and fine
equippages, and with his beautiful young
wife at his side, with his liveried coach
man and outriders, no turnout on the
avenue excelled that of young Buttle.
Its estimated that the first year of his
married life he expended on himself and
wife not less than S65, 200. On the
memorable Black Friday he lost in gold
speculations $4,000. Anxious to make
good his losses he continued his specula-
tions in gold, stocks and bonds, until the
last vestige of his inheritance had disap-
peared. He then disposed of his horses
and carriages.
They were followed by the diamonds
which he had purchased for his wife.
These he sold to Bishop * Rein, from
whom he had purchased them, for about
one-fourth the price which he paid for
them. The proceeds of these sales was
lost in stock speculation within three
days. These reverses he kept from his
wife until the unfortunate ventures and
their suppression from his wife had nearly
driven him mad. He made two attempts
to commit suicide, and became perfectly
reckless. About four months ago he
forged a check for large amount, sign
ing the name Of his uncle, and passing
the check on Vernon Brothers, 50 and 81
Duane street.
The matter was amicably arranged by
the intercession of the uncle, and Buttle
escaped prosecution. lie next, with his
wife, went to board at the Gilsey House,
becoming largely indebted to Breslin q
Gardner, the proprietors, for board, he
paid them with forged check. Before
the last named forgery was discovered,
he was arrested for forgery on Kessler.
His wife, who up to last night had re-
manned in happy ignorance Of her hus-
bands conduct, became frantic with grief
when the news was communicated to her
The friends of the family are using every
possible endeavor TO settle Buttle's diff
culties and hush the matter up. His
wife's wardrobe, which was worth from
So, 900 to $4,000, it was expected would
be found in her trunks. The trunks were
nearly empty, and in her husbands pock-
cts we're found large number of pawn
tickets.

For State Printer.

4 good thing can be done for noble pa

the job to his cousin. so he removed the

Leader having been charging too much.
The Clarion used To do the State printing at
ian average from eight to ten thousand dol
lars, and the Pilot charged fifty two thousand
dollars for the same work. Best les, the Clar-
ion has the largest circulation of any paper in
the State, has proven that it was trusty ser
want in times OF old, and has every facility
for carrying on the business. The Pilot
and Leader will both be candidates for tn.
office, which will divide the Radical vote
and ii the Conservative members will only
center upon the Clarion, we can elect IL to
the office. We hope every Conservative in
the Legislature Will give the Clarion his
vote. Ii they do, we warrant there will be
no more outcry against exorbitant charges.
Our friend of the Kosciusko Leader has
put the cost of the printing under Radi-
cal rule at too low figure Under car
pet-bag rule it has been nearer $175, 900
per snnum than $50, But Justice
requires it to be said that the fault is
more with the law itself, or its trainers,
than with the Printers.

The sort of women developed at the

the word is written advisedly-who thus
reports her feats for a year. "When our
colony reached here there were few car
penters or mechanics of any sort to be

hankering for tools, which | used to in

Made the pantry shelves, table for the

work, cut and made all my boys clothes
and made garden, besides caring for

plishments, the woman who speaks of
them is perfect book-keeper, writing
hand like copperplate, turning out as
fair set of books as any man in New
