THE DEFEAT OF AMNEsTY.-A is
another of those subjects on which, as in
regard to prohibition, Il broad distinction is
drawn between approval and enforcement.
Nearly everybody in Congress processes to
be in favor of a iudicious amnesty, but 1t
seems impossible to hit on a measure which
shall satisfy the majority. There are Demo-
Gratis who are satisfied with nothing short
of making the amnesty univ ersal, and these
stir up the Republicans. who will tolerate
anything else sooner than that. Then there
are those, under MIR. Summers lead, who
regard amnesty as admissible only in as
ISOLATION with complete civil rights; others
who have been secretly maneuvering the
two measures, in order to defeat both
while a third class, caring really nothing
either way about eitherqueStion, have only
thought of skillfully balancing themselves,
in the sight of their constituents, on the
yeas aud nays. 1t is no wonder, therefore,
when the whole matter came to II vote in
the Senate on Friday, that the Vice Presi-
dents casting vote was required to tack on
Mr.. Summers civil rights amendment, a2l'
then that the bill failed of the requisite two
thirds vote.
Thus ends the four weeks consideration
of the subject, and ends it, probably, m
the remainder of the session. We are con
iirmed in the opinion we expressed before
Congress met, that, while amnesty has a
certain degree of importance, yet, under
the circumstances, it is not of first class i'm
| portance. To make it oflectua it should
