PRESIDENTIAL PARDoNs.--The IT,
Supreme Court has decided that the Presi-
dent has full power to grant amnesty and par
don. The Baltimore Suns Washington cor
respondent, uader date Of Jan. Both, says:
Aquestion CT great Importance to South
ern claimants was decided BY the United
States Supreme Court to-day against what is
known as the Drake amendment, (adopted
by Congress three years ago) which provides
that evidence Of amnesty aud pardon shall
not be produced in the Court of Claims to
prove loyalty, unless the recipient at the time
he received it protested against the implica-
ton Of preyioas disloyaty contained in the
document. The Court holds that the Presi.
dent has full power to grant amnesty and
pardon. Under the proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln pardon and amnesty was grant
ed on certain conditions, with restoration
of all property except slaves, which pardon
and amnesty cannot be invalidated by the
.lesislationof Congress. The object Of the
amendment vas to destroy the effect Of Pres
ident Johnson's pardons.

OUR STANDARD BEARER

Those Democrats, who are sticklers

over what they are pleased to term
1.-The nauseous dose " which the Bal
timore Convention has prepared for
them, seem to forget the cafdlnal
principles of the Democratic party i'll
their attachment for effete issues.
They. cannot realize. that when Mr..
Greeley extended his han6io Jefferson
Davis he did the boldest act OF
Democracy that has been dared IN the
nineteenth century-an act which de
clared the same truth which he has so
clearly laid down in his letter OF
acceptance that "the people of the
North and of the South are and must
~tlvavs remain brothers, Fol the
fearless enumeration of these principles
MI. Greeley deservest TO be the chosen
leader of the great national party
which will spring up out of the Gin
cinnati and Baltimore Conventions.
Nor could a more welcome earnest of
Il returning feeling of brotherhood be
given iiIsn the enthusiasm with which
the South has Joined in this move
ment. They have come up almost as
Que mau and said, we accept the Con
~stitution as you have amended it, n

poses have so long kept up, we select

the leader of the old Republican party,
Horace Gree.ey. We want peace.
We have tried the peace which Grant

Secretary Fish has concluded that DIR.
Houard is not q genuine American
citizen, after all, and therefore not
worth involving the nation in a war
with Spain. He shows that the long

enjoyment of certain privileges, to
which Is attached the right &c become
a Spanish subject, in some degree jus
titled the authorities in regarding him
as subject to their jurisdiction; while
on the other hand he says nothing
whatever has been brought forward in
the Doctors behalf to prove his as

izen>hip until the misfortune of his
arrest and imprisonment occurred.

evidence against Houard and declares
it was of "A character that would have
