Rsechsr on Amnesty.

Henry Ward Beecher, in an arti-
Gle on amnesty, published in the
Christian Union this week, says: !,
We commend to the attention of
gentlemen who are afraid of am
nesty the present condition of Lou
isiana. Are the soldiers of the po-
litical power in that community
snch select aud virtuous class
that the admission of exceptionists
would lower the average OF quality !?
In fact, was there ever set of
more worthless adventurers than
those who are wraBgling over the
Offices in New Orleans? Have we
not had evidence enough of the
wretched misgovernment of half the
South? Since we cannot directly
cure it, let us at least leave the peo-
pie perfectly free to do the best
they can for themselves. Let us
not shat out all their old and trust
ed leaders from the offices which
the veriest riff raft are free to enter.
We are excluding the class of the
most intelligent aud capable men OF
the South for supporting a cause
which the whole white population

THE Detroit Post saws: "Under

The Detroit Post says: "Under
ANDREW JOHNSON the service had
become notorious for its corruption
and inefficiency. The officials, in.
tead of attending to their duties,
were engaged in plundering the
public, and in trying to mannfac
ture and set up a "bread-and-but-
ter party.o The revenue which
ought to have been collected from
the taxes on liquor aud tobacco was
hardly one-third collected. Tue SER
vice was full of defaulters, bride
takers and thieves of all kinds"
This is a singular declaration for the
organ of an Administration which
has shown more theiving, plumber
ing, bride, taking and more corrup-
ton of-every description in any sin
gle year of its existence than AN
DREW JoHNsoN's, bad as it was, ex-
hibited from its beginning to it's
ending. The Admin: stration should
teach its friends that to harp thus
upon the rascalitles which darkened
the character Of other Administra-
lions is but to invite public atten-
ton to those which blacken its own.

Heron and Postmaster Lowell to-

clincd giving an explanation regard
ing the checks drawn by him for
amounts varying from five hundred
to thirty-fye hundred dollars, which
had been traced to members of the
Legislature by the testimony of
other witnesses. Finally, he said
they were not given to members of
fhe Legislature or State officials,
except the thousand dollar check
which lie loaned Mr.. Young. He
subsequently stated that portion
of the one thousand dollar check
was given to defray the funeral ex-
penses of Walter Wheyland. The
check being dated prior to the death
of Wheyland, the Commission de-
sired to know if he, Heron, had
drawn it the day before, in anticipa-
ton of that event. Heron could
remember the date of the
check, or the date of Wheyland's
death.
Heron is Secretary of State.

lty, for they were such as no people
in the last extremity of war, in the
lowest depths of misfortune, with
the spirit of England, would sub
nit to. (Cheers.)
Gladstone concluded by saying
hat the Government would main
ain its position it had taken firmly,
Jhough in friendly manner.
The snbject of the Washington
Treaty was again up in the House
If Commons to-day. An excited dis

hat the American question was one
# the most momentous that the
House has been called to pass upon
within century. He compared the
lstute lawyers who composed the
American Commissioners with the
lovices who represented England,
md said that the latter had been
outwitted. If these same
