There will be no very general feeling of sur
prise at the action of the Senate in rejecting the
Amnesty bill. The course of the junta of men
who are proud of being considered Admins
tration whippers-in has all along Indicated
what would be the fate of this wise and
statesmanlike measure, so far above the COM
prehension OF the average politician. Those
who diSllked Amnesty pretended to favor
senator summers unfortunate Supplementary
Civil Rights bill, but only long enough to load
down the original measure with what was an
unpopular and, possibly, unconstitutional
proposition. This done. they disingenuously
killed Amnesty because it was saddled with

A CLEAN of mercy comes from the French
Assembly, which approves a report from its
Committee recommending amnesty for Com
munists below the rank of commissioned Off
GERS, provided they have committed no Offense
against the common law. After such reign
of terror as we have seen prevail in France,
even this little relaxation of the policy of
vengeance is a sign of returning reason, which
may be commended to some of our own
statesmen who hesitate at Universal Amnesty,
seven years after the civil war in Ameri "a is

The CuStom-housc Investigation was closed,
so far as this city is concerned, last night
and the Senate Committee adjourned to meet
in Washington, Feb. 10. 1t is understood that
the Committee will there receive whatever
Gems. Porter and Babcock may see fit to give
them, 50 that these gentlemen, who were mem
bers of Lcets famous "mess," will have what
all lawyers most highly prize" the last
"swear." The two Generals can unswear all
that has been heretofore testified con-
corning their cOmrade, and none shall
say them nay. This may DO un-
fair but it is not moro 80 than tho general
management of the Committee. But, unwil-
ling though they have been to receive any in
formation, they will 80 back to Washington
with vast amount of unwelcOme knowledge
which should open their eyes to the condition
of the Civil Service in general and the New
York Custom-house in particular. VIII they

In the Senate yesterday good deal of time
was wasted over Mr.. Edmunds's useless reso-
luton No possible good purpose can be sub
served by debating the Alabama question over
again in the Senate at the present time. 1t
seems impossible to talk about it in Parla-
ment or in Congress without saying something
silly. Mr.. Gladstone doubtless sees what work
he made of it on Tuesday we have not so
lively hope that Mr.. Edmunds appreciates the
bearing of his fussy impatience. His example yes,
terday was infectious. Mr.. Patterson began very
properly by deprecating the use of offensive
language in the Senate and in the Press but
ended by imputatiOns on the integrity of Mr.
Gladstone, which, though true enough, were
excessively offensive, and not fitting in the
treaty making branch of our Legislature. Mr.
Edmunds grew more and more belligerent as
the session went on, evidently thinking that
because Mr. Gladstone had committed
an embarra ssing indiscretiCn, it was the
duty Of the Senate TO do the same
thing. Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Hamlin kept
their heads, and sensbly counseled policy of
mastery inactivity. There never was a crisis
which less demanded action than this. 1t is q
matter which requires to be settled at Geneva
and London, and Washington is not called
upon to act until some decision is reached on
the other side And in the meanwhile the less
eloquence we have on the subject the better.

We trust the Legislature will sanction no
Charter for our City which does not guard
effectively against the extravaganza outlay now
incurred for Advertising. This journal happens
just mt present to be one of the eighteen desig-
mated to render this service, which we willingly
do for the compensation allowed we believe
that we fairly earn all that is to be paid us if
we ever get it; but we certainly did not
solicit the job, and are very willing to re-
linquish it whenever those in authority decide
that what we earn can be better employed
elsewhere. We lived many years before the
City advertised in our columns, and shall
probably get along after it shall have taken
it's custom TO some other shop. And we ex-
hort the Legislature to take care, 1. That no
more Advertising for the City is authorized
henceforth than the public interest requires
2. That this shall be awarded to the journals
which can render most service by doing it /;
3. That compensation shall be proportional
to the value of the services rendered. These
points being well guarded, no one will have
reason to complain.

/ II is not true that the One-Term principle
is made applicable only to the office OF Pres
ident. 1t has long been applied to the office
of Governor in several States, including Hi
DOlS. Ii was applleu tO the oihO0 VI DN
this State more than fifty years ago; ana,
though two revisions of our Constitution Dy
Conventions have since been made, no one
has even proposed a change of this rule.
IL. The principle which underlies this rule
is that embodied in the Divine prayer, Lead
Gus not into temptation" Its object is the
removal from those who have many appoint
ments to make of all inducement to prefer
adroit, efficient political wire-pullers to the
best and fttest men.
III. Mr.. Nudge should be careful of using
arguments which prove, if they prove any
thing entirely too much. What he makes ont
is-not that a good President should serve
eight years, but eighty-i!n fact, should be
continued IN Office without reelection and
without limit. 1t is plain that he does not
clearly understand himself.-[Ed.
